>> MAY 2004 (#4) Vol. 8 No. 5-4
>> This is from a newsletter of Bob Chapman. Conspiracy economist. Sees
>transnational
>> forces wanting to break the economic/military power of the US. His
>> newsletter gives the details week by week for investors. Lots of
>fear of

>be like

>keep a

>>
>>
>> US MARKETS
>> As the Fed creates massive amounts of aggregates, the administration
>> creates ever-larger deficits daily. There is no sign that either
>the Fed
>> or the Bush neocons are going to ease up anytime soon. Irrespective
>of
>> government statements, inflation is running at about 9.5%. Currently
>> inflation is rising faster than interest rates and we expect that to
>> continue as long as the Fed massively feeds the system and Mr. Bush
>and
>> Congress create newer and bigger deficits. This is similar to the
>way it
>> began in the late 1960s at the beginning of gold's last great run.
>Today
>> we have record budget and current account deficits that dwarf those
>of
>> that period. Congress and the administration have no inclination to
>in any
>> way cut spending and on top of that, we have perpetual war for
>perpetual
>> peace. The stock market will top out finally this fall as the
>prolonged
>> bear market rally is completed. If the Fed continues its madness as
>it did
>> in the 1970s then interest rates could again reach a Fed fund level
>of
>> 16.39%. We are currently at 1%. Today we have a nation that
>although they
>> won't admit it, lives in fear of its government. Where else today
>can you
>> say something misinterpreted by an employer at an airport and be
>> prosecuted? Where else can you have your phone tapped for writing
>the IF?
>> Only in America. These are not universal values; these are the
>trappings
>> of a police state. If you put all the above together you come up
>with a
>> crisis and that is where we are headed.
>> Exporting dollars is becoming a major American industry; $30 billion
>> goes to Latin America every year and of that $14.5 billion goes to
>Mexico.
>> Fifty percent of those sending funds home make $20,000 or less a
>year, but
>> send home 10% of their income.
>> The use of drugs to control attention deficit and hyperactivity
>> problems in preschool children jumped 49% in the past three years.
>All
>> children on ADHD drugs increased by 23% in children under five. The
>money
>> being spent on ADHD is eclipsing spending on drugs for asthma and
>> infections. At the same time, the use of antibiotics grew only
>4.3%, while
>> the use of antidepressants rose 21% and the use of medicines for
>autism
>> and other conduct disorders jumped 71%. The most eye-popping change
>was a
>> 369% increase in spending on ADHD drugs for children under five.
>Their
>> parents are too lazy to deal with normal child behavior. New drugs,
>such
>> as Strattera, Adderall and Concerta only require one dose in the
>morning
>> and the kids are like zombies all day. It is estimated that almost
>10% of
>> American children are being poisoned with these drugs just so
>teachers
>> won't have to bother to correct them. By the time they are 10-15
>years old
>> they are ready for suicide.
>> The Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld's orders for the treatment
>> and interrogation of Iraqi prisoners brings up questions about
>treatment
>> of prisoners in American correctional institutions. The 12 million
>people
>> who pass through these institutions each year are often subject to
>violent
>> attacks by other inmates, prisoner-on-prisoner rape is endemic, drug
>> resistant strains of tuberculosis is rampant, as are drugs and the
>> swapping of needles that leads to HIV infection and liver destroying
>> hepatitis C. Psychiatric care for psychotic inmates is poor to
>> nonexistent. Twenty-five percent of inmates are usually under
>> administrative lockdown. Almost 50% in lockdown have tried to commit
>> suicide. Our prison system is a disgrace to us as a civilized
>people.
>> A federal advisory committee says Congress should pass laws to
>> protect the civil liberties of Americans when the government sifts
>through
>> computer records and data files for information about terrorists. A
>better
>> idea of course is to terminate Patriot Acts I & II. Currently
>agencies are
>> collecting and using personally identifiable information on persons
>for
>> national security and law enforcement purposes. The programs are
>mirror
>> images of the Pentagon program named, Total Information Awareness,
>now
>> euphemistically known as, Terrorism Information Awareness, which
>makes
>> each citizen a potential terrorist suspect. In data mining our
>government
>> has no intention of protecting individual privacy. The only
>solution is to
>> do away with Patriot Acts I & II. If we are going to have these
>Acts then
>> Congress must pass legislation protecting our rights and demand
>court
>> orders for data mining, search and seizure. What is happening is
>that
>> anyone who speaks or writes negatively about government is subject
>to
>> harassment and entrapment. We know because government has already
>tried
>> unsuccessfully to use it against us.
>> In our latest insanity, the US Postal Service is honoring EID Muslim
>> holiday season with a commemorative first-class holiday postage
>stamp. The
>> stamp should be boycotted.
>> Get ready for the administration to blame the cost of energy for the
>> fading of the recovery. The Fed and the Bush neocons were too early
>in
>> their timing. They have nothing for an encore except not raising
>interest
>> rates and the Fed pumping $2 to $3 trillion into the economy,
>> The Bush neocons are well on their way to dismantling the anti-trust
>> laws in our country. Mergers and acquisitions abound as the
>consolidation
>> of companies continues leading to more and more concentration. Any
>strong
>> company is fair game for internationalist corporatist interests. The
>> profitable assets are removed, the carcass sold off and its
>employees left
>> without jobs. Retirement funds and benefits are cut or lost, as is
>present
>> and future healthcare. The mergers in telecommunications and the
>media are
>> affected to kill the chance of any real news being reported.
>Halliburton,
>> Bechtel and the Carlyle Group are running our country. There is no
>> integrity left in journalism and anyone who reports the truth is
>hounded
>> into silence. Today America is a scary place and we don't see any
>> improvement anytime soon.
>> The Bush neocons, in a major policy reversal, signaled its readiness
>> to accept Islamic theocracy in Iraq. Colin Powell said,"We will
>have to
>> accept any free and fairly elected government." We believe this is
>to
>> insure that a new Iraqi administration will be set up by June 30 as
>a
>> sovereign government supported by a new UN resolution, which will
>speed up
>> the neocons exit strategy.
>> Our purchased Congress has again thwarted the will of the American
>> people. It has summarily dismissed Eliot Spitzer's exposures and
>more than
>> a dozen Congressional hearings on five bills that should have
>reformed the
>> worst mutual fund scandals in sixty years. Congress has again
>ignored all
>> the evidence and accepted the payoffs from the fund and brokerage
>> industries, leaving 95 million investors in the hands of these
>greedy
>> crooks. These are the same investment professionals who lost 43% of
>> investors' assets between 2000 and 2002, while they raised their
>> compensation 25%. Incidentally, for new readers we got all of our
>> subscribers out of the market in April 2000. Congress' lack of
>action
>> allows these crooks who control massive financial assets to continue
>> skimming off the top. Lean on your representatives in Washington
>and if
>> they do not listen make sure they are not reelected.
>> An investigation into one of the biggest corruption scandals in
>> history is being hampered by the US-led administration in Iraq
>according
>> to our Congress and officials in Baghdad. The actual review of the
>records
>> has been delayed for weeks and documents are being altered or
>destroyed.
>> At least $11 billion has gone into the pockets of 270 people and
>> organizations. The elitist, Mr. Bremer, pro-counsel of Iraq,
>intervened
>> in March, saying he would not release funds to pay KPMG, the
>auditor,
>> which had already made substantial progress in locating documents
>in Iraq,
>> unless the contract was put out to tender. This is interesting,
>inasmuch
>> as few contracts have been put out to tender in Iraq. All the
>business
>> went to neocon cronies and other financial contributors. KPMG was
>finally
>> appointed and will be paid about $6 million for the effort. Then
>the CPA
>> decided it would appoint its own auditors to investigate
>allegations and
>> Ernst and Young were set to work as well. Many in Congress are angry
>> because it is obvious Bush and the neocons are trying to destroy
>all the
>> evidence. The IGC, with the help of KPMG, had already located
>billions of
>> dollars that came out of illicit oil-for-food profits in Middle
>East bank
>> accounts. Americans, because of this theft, more of your hard-
>earned tax
>> dollars had to be spent.
>> Surprisingly Alan Greenspan is going to stay as Chairman of the
>Fed, as he
>> was re-nominated by George W. Bush.
>> Forrester Research says it expects 1.6 million office jobs to have
>> moved to India and other foreign countries by the year 2015. Office
>and
>> computer jobs will lead the march, costing 3.4 million more US jobs
>and
>> more than $151 billion in wages. 542,000 computer jobs are next on
>the
>> list, followed by 356,000 businesses and 259,000 management jobs.
>Overall,
>> about 6.4% of jobs in vulnerable categories will be outsourced in
>the next
>> 11 years. Are you listening America? Your jobs, your livelihood, the
>> future of your children are being destroyed by the elitists to make
>> America a second world country. Climb all over your members of
>Congress.
>> If you do not, your family will either starve to death or you will
>be
>> forced to fight in the streets.
>> The BIS derivative survey reveals that, as of 12/03, the global
>> derivatives market amounted to $234 trillion of notional contracts,
>of
>> which 75% or $175 trillion are interest related, and 80% or $142
>trillion
>> of these are on the OTC market. That is 2.7 times higher than when
>LTCM
>> blew up in 1998. This means the global economy produced $22 in
>> interrelated risk transactions for every $1.00 of estimated growth
>in its
>> physical counterpart in 2003, which denotes a financial system
>totally out
>> of control. After reading this, if you do not think we are in
>trouble
>> there is something certainly wrong with your thinking process.
>> The NASD reprimanded Morgan Stanley, Bear Stearns and Deutsche Bank
>> and ordered them to collectively pay a fine of more than $15
>million. They
>> gave special clients shares of hot IPO's. For this the banks
>accepted
>> outrageous commissions. That is where all these hot IPO's went that
>> couldn't get any of.
>> As the current account deficit approaches $600 billion, the US needs
>> to attract a net $2.7 billion of overseas capital every single day.
>> Overall, debt stands at 163% of GDP. This is beyond imagination.
>> They once put bookmakers in jail, as gambling was once considered a
>> vice. Today it is a savior for many states that are rolling the
>dice and
>> hoping lotteries, slot machines, and casinos will create income,
>jobs and
>> healthier budgets. Hesitant to raise taxes, particularly in an
>election
>> year, 24 states have looked at gaming proposals this year to boost
>> revenues and help pay for education, health care and other basic
>> necessities that states provide. Today there is gambling in 23
>states
>> which have casinos owned by American Indian tribes. Gambling is
>insidious
>> and there is no question it draws crime. It is a tough trade-off but
>> unfortunately people are going to gamble anyway, so the proceeds
>going to
>> good causes aren't all that bad.
>> Apprehension continues to grow as it becomes very obvious that the
>> Fed has to raise interest rates. They would have been raised by now
>but
>> this is an election year and the Fed is illegally doing all it can
>to
>> assure the reelection of George W. Bush and his neocons. Treasury
>debt is
>> spiraling upward and the Fed's creation of aggregates is exploding.
>That
>> has caused real market interest rates to rise 1-3/16% over the past
>two
>> months, which has caused large bond market losses. This has led to
>capital
>> repatriation by foreigners in anticipation of even higher rates.
>Just as
>> powerful has been the unwinding of the carry trade, which has
>caused the
>> dollar to strengthen in an unusual manner. Most professionals do
>not as
>> yet realize it but this is the beginning of the popping of the bond
>bubble
>> and the beginning of the re-decent of the dollar. As the carry trade
>> unwinds and moves to cash, other bubbles will burst in real estate
>and in
>> the stock market, both of which will not occur in a visible way
>until
>> after the election. The carry trade is when you borrow money at 1%
>and buy
>> Treasuries at 4%. If interest rates are moving higher, you are
>taking
>> capital losses in the underlying bonds, which neutralize your gains
>or
>> cause you losses. The exit from the carry trade is in anticipation
>of
>> higher interest rates. The bubbles will break so fast after the
>election
>> that peoples' heads will be spinning. They just will not believe
>what is
>> happening to them as Societe General, the Paris banks says,"We see
>a
>> confluence of ominous events. A slowdown in US economic demand may
>be
>> unavoidable - cooling Chinese demand - under weighting global
>> manufacturing demand." Just add in higher interest rates and you
>have the
>> beginning of a horror story.
>> Yes, there is a mountain of debt and yes, a credit bust is going to
>> happen in the US, but not until the election is over. The Fed has
>the
>> power to temporarily delay the events, particularly in the stock
>market by
>> increasing funds available via the repo market. The tidal wave of
>credit
>> to US households, particularly in mortgages, home equity loans and
>credit
>> cards will not go onerously up in cost until later this year. As the
>> credit flow contracts due to higher costs, borrowers will pay down
>debt,
>> or go bankrupt. That will slow the economy forcing house prices
>down,
>> creating a loss of equity and ending the wealth affect. The ultimate
>> result will be a depression worse than the 1930's. We would be
>surprised
>> if the Fed raises rates on June 29-30. We expect them to rise in
>August.
>> From 1993 to 1995 rates doubled but the debt situation was 20% of
>what it
>> is today. For starters, we expect a move up in interest rates in
>2004-2005
>> from 3.65% on the 10-year Treasury note to 7-1/2%. If the Fed
>continues
>> its aggregate creation at current levels, which they say they will
>and
>> then some, then we can expect much higher rates as inflation soars
>past
>> 12%. Remember that in 2000, a 1.75% increase in rates brought the
>market
>> down 43% and NASDAQ down 70%. Can you imagine what a four-point
>increase
>> will do? The indications of excesses in prices are everywhere even
>though
>> our government lies about it. Looking at the value of residential
>real
>> estate as a percentage of personal income shows the ratio to be
>182%,
>> which is over 20% higher than its last peak in the late 1980's.
>Mortgages
>> are about to rise back up to historical levels. The 20-year average
>has
>> been 8.6% and we predict 8-1/2% by the end of 2005 and even higher
>rates
>> after that if the Fed continues to pump over a trillion a year into
>the
>> economy. However, home equity is now 55% versus the 20-year average
>of
>> 61%. Service of this debt is at a much higher level than in years
>past.
>> Plus, today some 30% of mortgages are ARMS, which have adjustable
>rates,
>> and 45% of mortgages are sub-par. Loans that should never have been
>made
>> to begin with. It should be noted that mortgage related assets now
>account
>> for 59% of banks' earning assets, up from 30% in the mid-eighties.
>That
>> means bank earnings will plunge next year. Even with zero percent
>> financing, automakers see declining sales. A four-point rise in
>interest
>> rates will force the end of zero financing and auto and truck sales
>will
>> plunge. Avoid these manufacturers at all costs. In the fall, short
>them
>> because they will get crushed. Some will not make it. Alan
>Greenspan has
>> done the unforgivable and we will get to pay for his actions in
>behalf of
>> his elitist masters.
>> The average computer programmer in India earns roughly $10.00 an
>> hour, compared to more than $60.00 per hour for the average American
>> computer programmer. Keep up off shoring corporate America and you
>soon
>> will not have anyone in the US to sell to.
>> Almost two-thirds of 1.6 million civilian full-time employees of our
>> government received merit bonuses or special time-off awards in
>fiscal
>> 2002. They ranged from less than $100 to over $25,000. 2,900
>received
>> bonuses of more than $10,000 each. Civil service specialist said the
>> proliferation of bonuses reinforces a common belief that many
>federal
>> workers are rewarded for little more than showing up. We call this
>buying
>> votes. The National Science Foundation, DOC and CSA gave bonuses to
>more
>> than 90% of their workers.
>> American Express is under investigation for fraud by not disclosing
>> certain revenue sharing arrangements with mutual fund clients.
>> Federal and state prosecutors are investigating Charles Schwab for
>> fraud and market timing and late trading of mutual funds.
>> The California Senate approved legislation by a 36-2 vote and sent
>> it to the assembly to warn consumers when spyware was added to their
>> computers when they buy software. These programs track what web
>sites you
>> visit, may steal your passwords, access your financial information,
>log
>> your keystrokes, bombard you with pop-ups, track your purchases and
>> remotely report your activity and personal information to a third
>party,
>> which includes our government. Maybe this will get our purchased
>Congress
>> to act.
>> Saudi Arabia, a subject nation of the US and UK, has pushed for
>> higher oil production as a result of pressure from governments and
>> international elitist corporations. As Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's
>president
>> has said,"In my opinion it would be a very bad message for OPEC to
>give
>> into pressures and then increase production. No, OPEC should say to
>the
>> big consumers, let's sit down at the table and let us talk about the
>> causes in the increase in prices." Of course, the major users have
>no
>> intention of doing that.
>> The MBA says weekly mortgage activity for the week ended 5/14/04
>> fell 11.9% to 654.1 from 742.2 the previous week; 30-year fixed
>mortgage
>> rates fell 11 basis points to 6.21% and they are still up 104 BP
>from last
>> year. The MBA purchase index, a gauge of new loan requests for home
>> purchases, fell by 8.1% to 454.2 after hitting its second highest
>level at
>> 494.3 the previous week. The high was 501.6 on 1/16/04. The
>refinancing
>> index fell by 16.8% to 1,816.9 from the previous week's 2,184.6, the
>> lowest since January when it was 1,755.4.
>> The aggregate number of jobs sent overseas to-date will pass 500,000
>> this year and reach one million by 2006. Most are being farmed out
>by
>> Fortune 1,000 companies contrary to public belief. US transnational
>just
>> do not want the public to get the facts on how they are destroying
>> America. In just the next 1-1/2 years management will lose 42,000
>jobs;
>> business 120,000; computing 203,000; architecture 54,000; life
>sciences
>> 5,500; legal 23,000; sales 47,000 and office 475,000 for a total of
>> 963,500 jobs and that is only with Fortune 1,000 companies. The
>economic
>> destruction of America goes on unabated.
>> Tuition at 15 well-regarded colleges is about to rise again next
>> fall far above the so-called inflation rate. Stanford will increase
>4.5%
>> to 11.1% for out-of-state students at the University of Washington.
>The
>> average is 5.5%. This is a reflection of higher medical costs,
>salaries,
>> student aid, and prestige - the more expensive the better it is. In
>2003,
>> 50% of all undergraduates received some grant aid that never needs
>to be
>> repaid. Sixty percent receive some sort of financial aid. In 31
>elite
>> schools the total cost including room, board and other expenses
>averaged
>> $37,940; 49% of students received need-based grant money. The
>average
>> award was $18,161. More disturbing from our point of view is that
>40% of
>> those in college do not qualify or belong there.
>> Eight Cape Cod, MA companies sued the US government and a state
>> labor agency in an effort to increase the number of visas granted
>for
>> temporary foreign workers to more than 100,000 this year from
>66,000 in
>> 2003. The claim is government unfairly prevented businesses from
>obtaining
>> the visas they need to increase their staffs during the spring and
>summer
>> season. Business is crying because they cannot get slave labor to
>increase
>> their profits. These foreign workers suppress the wages of all
>American
>> workers. Business should increase wages and they will have no
>trouble
>> getting domestic workers.
>> Consumer prices rose in the first four months of the year at a 4.4%
>> annual rate, compared with a 3% gain last year. Core prices that
>exclude
>> food and energy increased 3% versus 0.9% in 2003. As a result five
>and
>> ten-year US Treasuries have produced a loss of 5.6% over the last
>seven
>> weeks. The difference in yield between the current 10-year note and
>the
>> 10-year TIPS, has widened to 2.74%, the biggest gap since the US
>started
>> selling TIPS in 1997. The low gap was 2.15% on 1/15/03. The five-
>year
>> average is 1.89%. The Fed's overnight bank lending rate is the
>lowest
>> since July 1958. Much more inflation is on the way.
>> From a top administration official:"We assume an attack will happen
>> leading up to the election and it will happen in Washington. An
>attack in
>> Washington and in other major cities." This confirms our very
>> controversial prediction and position of several months ago that if
>Bush
>> looks as if he may lose the election, we will have terrorist
>attacks.
>> The diversions have been in place to mislead the public - drawing
>> them away from the real problem, the US and world economies. That
>is what
>> 9/11; Afghanistan and Iraq are really all about. Now that finance
>and
>> economics are interconnected, country-to-country, the financial
>chaos can

>rates
>> will rise and the collapse gets underway. Commodities, gold, silver
>and

>inflation,

>> we report on it. As soon as the increase in wages ends, then
>reflation
>> will end. In England, that is six months to a year away. In the US,
