Intel 50G Silicon Photonics Processor

Talk about a game-changer! They are talking bandwidth at T-1 speeds on your desktop PC using these laser optic chips. T-1 could also become the defacto internet speed as more servers etc begin to use this technology.

Obviously anything connected to CDs or DVDs are going bye-bye as this tech rolls out.

o Intel Labs has created the world’s first silicon-based optical data connection with integrated lasers using Hybrid Silicon Laser technology.
o The experimental chip can move data at 50 billion bits per second (50Gbps). Researchers are now pressing on to demonstrate even faster speeds.
o The availability of low-cost, high-speed fiber-optics based on this technology could allow computer makers to completely rethink traditional system design from netbooks to supercomputers.
o Businesses with server farms or datacenters could eliminate performance bottlenecks while saving significant operational costs in space and energy, replacing many cables with one optical fiber.

Oops Yes Governments are Spying and Datamining

BlackBerry 8330

The revelation yesterday that the UAE and Saudi Arabia may ban use of the Blackberry revealed some disturbing news. Apparently the practice by many countries of reading your email, is being done routinely. Course the old “terrorist” ploy is trotted out to explain why they must read and file your private emails.

Blackberry uses their own servers out of Toronto which encrypt the messages. Laws in UAE forbid such a sneaky practice as hiding your email content from Big Brother. This from states where honor killings of wives is not uncommon.

The Fed Fights Deflation with Inflation and Competition Killing Regulation

Fighting Deflation:

There are many ways that the government wittingly or unwittingly offsets this deflation in
order to create inflation or its economic equivalent.
• The clearly obvious one is the printing of US Dollars, which the Fed sells aggressively
around the world.
• The second is through deficit spending, where the greater the economic growth resulting
from productivity gains accompanies by deflation, the greater the requirement for the
Federal government to increase its deficit spending.*
• The third is through the creation of government guarantees of debt.*
The fourth is the creation of government regulation on the private sector to reduce
productivity before it can get started.

I found the bolded item valuable as I have never connected these type of issues to that of fighting Deflation. Makes sense now why the Government would fight things like diversified Green Technologies. Makes sense why the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) now requires Internet Marketers to include all sorts of new legal disclosures on their offerings and websites.

The mystery of why Google has dropped thousands of Adwords advertisers the last 2 years now makes sense to me. Once they have you sign the rule (post the FTC disclosure), how hard is it for the Government to email Google a fake complaint about your product or service you advertise on Google Adwords asking they remove you? easy. Allowing thousands of start-ups equal advertising footing with say WalMart, as using Adwords does, is deflationary.

The point is, innovation CAUSES Deflation. Diversity, competition and increased productivity cause the relative pricing models to fall. The reason we are still without say TRUE ubiquitous free high speed internet bandwidth is because to do so would create a massive Deflationary force upon most markets. That is the last thing the US Government wants, a totally digitally connected public.

I would submit it is no coincidence .gov, .mil. and .edu are normally given preference by Google in their index despite many of those websites being useless, outdated, and a navigational nightmare. I would also question things like Wikipedia. Wikipedia has STOPPED more independent website projects than anything I bet. How many people think, “Hey a website on green yo-yos is needed”, they do a quick check of Google and find Wikipedia has the top spot and has the topic covered?

Wikipedia is probably run out the the NSA and is designed to stifle start-ups. I would argue it is simply not believable that many Wikipedia pages can be that deep in content relying exclusively on solely unpaid contributors. Heck WP does not even give one a backlink so who is spending their time building their website?

Why I Do Not Trust Max Keiser

If you have been around the issues shared on websites like this one, it does not take long for one to end-up finding Max Keiser.

max keiser and stacy herbert

Max along with his companion Stacy Herbert, provide some of the most hard-hitting financial commentary available anywhere. I have linked to them many times and follow both on Twitter. I personally agree with probably 90% of what they talk about, and I do recommend you follow them with caveats, now with that said…

The caution I would like to share is this…The gist of their commentary has to do with exposing the over-used and abused “Evil Bankers”. These two pump-out an insane amount of postings, twits, podcasts and youtube videos centered around how the current Financial Mess is the result of Evil Capitalists and specifically Evil AMERICAN Capitalists.

Trouble is, while focusing on this in vogue populist Evil Banker Meme which drives traffic, they do a real disservice in bashing America as somehow responsible for the actions of what most of us understand to be the policies of International Bankers and Corporations.

Up until 2 years ago Max and Stacy were unheard of. They had little of a following. When the engineered Financial Collapse started back in late 2007 and intensified into 2008, all of a sudden Keiser and Herbert were on the radar in a big growing way. Currently they are as popular as Alex Jones or Peter Schiff. I would submit because of their useful message these two have been and are being systematically promoted. It is debatable if they are aware of this or are just useful idiots. I tend to think they are not really aware of how they are being used in my opinion.

More troubling evidence Max Keiser is a tool is his work on networks suck as Al Jazeera and Russia Today. Obviously Keiser and Herbert are Liberally leaning, shall we say. His connections however indicate an extreme Far Left orientation. The fact he rarely appears on any other balanced networks other than an occasional guest appearance, troubles me. I would also cite the fact they live in Paris and their source of income can hardly come from what looks to me as low or unpaid work on foreign press websites.

Those of us who Blog and use the internet understand just how difficult it can be to develop an audience. I think the fact Keiser has pulled off the popularity coup he has in about 2 years should throw-up the integrity caution flags. If you visit his blog, you will see dozens of comments after each article. If you visit the Max Keiser Forum the place is dead. This tells me the integrity of his discussion is suspect. It tells me that blog is a little too popular shall we say. Real followings would tend to gravitate to the forum and use of post commenting would drop away, the opposite is true at maxkeiser.com. I think this indicates more than just trolls, it indicates people who spend a good deal of their day possibly being paid to post shall we say.

Keiser is clearly being promoted, green-lighted and the doors are opening for his “agenda”. Whether he knows this or not does not change the fact his agenda is why he is popular to vested interests.

Max Keiser has an agenda. That agenda is to bash the United States, and Americans specifically. This Agenda mirrors that of the same people who are destroying the Western World. I do not think it is any accident Max Keiser is all over the place these days. He is the ultimate useful idiot for the NWO. Bash the Federal Reserve, Bash the US Treasury, Bash BP, Bash the Tea Party, hell bash all of it except the real people behind the curtain. The targets are far too easy and the discussion many times sophomoric.

Whenever you hear somebody bash the US as much as this guy does, it makes you wonder if they have ever traveled. The US is far from perfect, but please, enough is enough already. When does Keiser expose George Soros? Al Gore? the G20? Bill Clinton? When does Keiser talk about the Arabs? specifically the Sharia Banking interests who are probably behind all of this mess? I suspect like what happened with discussion of 9-11 ( how I originally found Keiser ), it will disappear in favor of what moves Keiser forward, the Agenda his puppetmasters like.

How They Made-up the Latest Batch of Corporate Earnings

Oh Boy you better read this set of articles starting here ..Five Reasons for Nonsensical Forward Corporate Earnings Estimates

Mark-to-Market again. Just when you thought the MTM Genie could not bestow another bullshitter’s wish, we have this. Apparently if your Bonds have dropped in value, although you are still on the hook for the full payments/interest and face value, MTM allows you to claim your Bond is only now worth 25% of what it was and you can thus claim the difference as profit!

See now you know why these corporations can claim earnings increases from an Economy in virtual Depression. It does not take a genius to understand this earnings mirage will not last and already inflated Stock Prices are probably going to tumble really soon like. CNBC and the usual manure spreaders will be pitching these earnings cow pies as evidence a supposed recovery is well under way. The smart money is buying puts and heading for the exits.

Fictional Sales Now Bookable Under Mark-to-Market

In yet another twist of the Something for Nothing Model and Mark-to-Market Accounting circus, some companies now are booking sales they have not even made yet.

from the link below…When the Seattle-based e-tailer announced its second-quarter earnings last week, it noted that it’s now following an accounting rule that allows it to book revenue for its Kindle e-reader immediately rather than accounting for sales over the average two-year estimated economic life of the device (though hopefully most Kindle users will get longer usage out of the device than that). That rule is Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, for which Amazon has the Financial Accounting Standards Board to thank.

Toadies Rage Against The Machine Bash AZ SB1070

I see Rage Against The Machine along with Nine Inch Nails and Michael Moore have come-out in a big way against the hugely supported Arizona Immigration Bill SB 1070. Seems these 3 are the typical entertainers, New World Order approved and promoted.

Ignore the fact the vast majority of Americans support AB 1070, for very solid reasons, namely Patriotism. Oh no, these three slop carriers for the New World Order are far too stupid to realize they are on the complete wrong side of this issue. See the truth is, these 3 would not even be huge unless the NWO was allowing them air time. Those of us who understand these issues understand that, they do not, they are pawns.

Illegal Immigration DESTROYS Sovereign Countries. This is why the New World Order encourages the practice. The NWO wants nothing more than to destroy YOU, the Middle Class, and the United States.

These people are so evil they will take and promote entertainers which on the surface look like they are fighting Globalism/Facisim, but upon a little deeper investigation see they are really promoting the agenda of the International Power Elite. Stupid people who think they are doing good. The entertainment field is littered with these morons. Rage Against the Machine is about as moronic a group as you can find. I am giving these entertainers more slack than I should because I really believe these douchebags know exactly what they are doing and who they are involved with. They didn’t just “think this benefit crap up” one day, this is an organized effort coming from way up the food chain.

One day we will have a ONE World Governance (Zeitgeist). However this NWO is the farthest thing from what most assume. The UN, G-20, and hundreds of alphabet organizations they have spawned have one goal, Global Enslavement.

Here’s a video from NWO run SkyNews with the Satanic five pointed start NWO marker start off

How the Bank Regulatory Mechanism was Damaged, Resulting in Collapse 

Congress, Regulators, BASEL II economists, government administration Treasury and Regulators and the Federal Reserve have inadvertently made a critical miscalculation as to the effect of removing the hold to maturity (HTM) accounting rule for banks and relegating it to only the Central Banks and governments. Displacing hold to maturity (HTM) with mark to market (MTM) they inadvertently precipitated the precipice into which the value of all debt capital and equity capital plummeted.

The Capitalist system is not based on mark to market (MTM) pricing. Rather it’s based on the underpinning or substratum of a bank regulatory mechanism, through which all market values for debt capital and equity capital are determined, in effect arbitraged, based on the leveraging ratios for debt capital relative to equity capital, where the value of medium and long term contracts is sustained through hold to maturity (HTM). The risk adjusted ratio of assets to capital, the lending formulas of affordability and hold to maturity (HTM) make up the three legs through which contract value is sustained and lending liquidity maintained.

The bank regulatory mechanism is the operating system of Capitalism, i.e., it is Capitalism. The lack of understanding of how this framework operates has caused needless suffering having been inflicted for political and economic reasons, and it’s time that it is finally understood, so that the true potential Capitalism offers can finally be implemented and a Golden Age of prosperity realized.

Hiding In Plain Sight by Karl Denninger

Final Collapse is in Motion Will You Survive?

President Barrack Obama signed the Dodd/Frank trojan horse, coined the Banking Overhaul Bill today.

Here’s a passage gleaned from this AP overview

Derivatives companies must set aside money to cover possible losses. And the companies can be punished for using derivatives to mask the health of a business or government. The idea is to block deals like the one Goldman Sachs was accused of arranging to help Greece hide its deficit.

Ignoring of course the entire POINT of a derivative for a moment, guess where a major chunk of the money needed to back all this is likely to come from? Yep, you guess it, the same place it did last time, the Stock Market. So I hope you can see this Bill for what it really is, Collapse II the final episode.

Remember the rule…If you want to know what is really going on, look at what they are focusing on and turn it upside down.

The entire focus of this Bill is to prevent a Panic<<, so expect it to produce exactly that…a Panic.

I give this a few days, maybe a week of Euphoria by the naive believing Happy Days have been restored, followed by the hard reality money must be raised. The equity selling will be slow initially, however by early September, let’s say 9-11-2010 to be stylish, the final plunge of the roller-coaster will commence as many big players head for the exits (they have no choice now). The Panic will be a similar repeat of the last and will take the Dow probably down to around 5,000 when Marshall law will be imposed and the USA will be formally dissolved as we know it.

Once the dust settles Obama will impose Sharia Banking and the complete takeover of the United States by Muslim extremists (Oil money basically) will be complete. The operation complete despite the nation having the most powerful military the world has ever know.

This new Sharia Banking will be pitched as Fair Market Banking, an offshoot of their silly Fair Market Accounting/Mark-to-Market crap which started all this mess in the first place. The G20 will be front and center in all this.The masses will clamor for the reform from the evil bankers. They will demand Obama end it and restore “free market capitalism”, i.e sharia banking.

Do not be fooled my friends, the current situation is 99.99% the result of a financial Jihad against the Western Economies. We are being dismantled by design. 9-11 was the kick-off and the War has not stopped since. They are now in the final stages of a classical Pump-and-Dump.

So what’s ahead after the final collapse of the financial system?

Things are going to get far worse than they are now for most Americans. Unemployment is going to +30% easy. Vast numbers of Americans will be on food stamps and assistance. Businesses will be folding by the hundreds daily. Areas which have so far been untouched will see their local Real Estate markets implode. Losses of 50% will be common.

Look we are hanging by a thread and this bullshit today has cut the string people. We are now at the point where the thread has been cut, we begin to see that, shit our pants, and down we go.

I will refrain from saying they will be starting a Nuclear War and blaming Israel, but I would not rule that out as horrible as that would be. Many will welcome a War because the theory is, Wars stimulate the economy. Course millions maybe dead from nuclear fallout so invest in body bags and coffins.

Here’s a link where you can find an audio interview of Arch Crawford. Crawford is a high rated Stock Market Analyst who uses..gasp…Astrology…. to predict Market events. His crystal ball is saying by the first week of August 2010 conditons will be similar to when Rome fell and WW II started.

Anyhow if you missed it, China now also has an Oil spill of their own, caused by a mysterious explosion. Hmm sounds familiar-mysterious–explosion. Funny the Arabs never seem to have any trouble getting the oil. Al Queda must be busy.
