Central banks are the current sovereign debt market. It is a vacated market. They are the majority bidders via debt monetization. The monetary inflation has become the New Normal and a travesty. In perverse fashion, the financial markets celebrate the monetized purchases, even calling for higher volume. In the process, bond and stock market integrity has been destroyed. Foreign creditors depart the USTreasury Bond market. Large European banks depart the Southern Europe sovereign debt market. Central banks step in to avert panic as the underlying structure to the global monetary system crumbles. When government bond yields rose quickly in Europe, it was not from abandonment by their central bank. The big Euro banks sell boatloads of bonds while the EuroCB buys only truckloads. The bond market integrity has been deteriorating very quickly. The dependence upon the debt monetization process is vividly clear. It is hyper monetary inflation to fill the void, thus providing the dominant bid. Ironically, the dullard stock market mavens celebrate the arrival of the central bank purchases without truly comprehending the destroyed integrity of the bond market. IQ levels are falling along with stock index levels.
NEXT GROUND ZERO IS ITALY
Upcoming budget impasses and bank failures will break the European Union wide open. A perceived temporary patchjob solution in Europe has been delineated. More of the same will accomplish nothing. A march toward a federation is apparent, despite the desire for decentralization. A motive to force a system failure is at work to create the federal structure. Recent appointments prove the point. Again Goldman Sachs knights arrive to the rescue in secret appointments. They earn the title technocrats, but crowds reject them as unelected leaders. Ignore the term Technocrat given both to Monti and the newly installed Mario Draghi at the Euro Central Bank. They are Syndicate loyalists.
Howard Davies is former director London School of Economics, and former deputy director at the Bank of England. He calls for 1) fiscal federation with a unified central bank, 2) broad purchases of sovereign bonds, and 3) unlimited liquidity provided by the Euro Central Bank. The prescription is stark and clear for hyper monetary inflation, the central bank serving as the entire government bond market, and the installation of a federation across Europe. The last 12 years have proved without a doubt that a unified Europe is a disaster in a bottle, whose cables and levers eventually break under the pressure of grand differences and the passage of time.
The raging crisis in Italy festers as it turns to a boil. Italy will serve as the agent of contagion, next to France and Spain. No solution is possible, as the summits are futile. Italy will expose the Euro Central Bank as both powerless and ruined. The focus has shifted away from Greece and squarely on Italy as the center of chaos in Southern Europe. Once more the meter for disorder is the benchmark 10-year Italian Govt Bond yield. It has surged toward the critical 7.0% mark as investors cast bond market votes against the policy in Rome and the upcoming austerity measures to be pushed through. Such level is regarded as unsustainable, given the massive Italian debts. Worker strikes have made vividly clear that Uber Leader Mario Monti will not succeed in large budget cuts without consequences. Striking Italian metal workers in Turin are shown in the photo. The biggest Italian unions (ports, highways, truckers, banks) went on strike. They oppose measures as painful hits pensioners and workers, leaving the wealthy untouched. Numerous big Italian banks are on the verge of failure. Neighboring France faces scrutiny of the bank asset feces. Markets brace for an expected debt downgrade to remove its coveted and undeserved AAA rating by Standard & Poors.

Syndicate appointed (not elected) Prime Minister Mario Monti believes Italy risks a Greek-style economic collapse without approval of the hotly debated austerity package. Italy stands as the third largest economy in the EuroZone, whose borrowing costs began to approach the levels that forced Ireland, Greece, and Portugal to seek an international bailouts. The controversial package has the support of the Organization for Economic Cooperation (OECD). It is designed by Monti to save Italy. The decree plans to raise more than 10 billion Euros (=US$13.4 bn) from a property tax, impose a new levy on luxury items like yachts, raise the Value Added Tax, crack down on tax evasion, and increase the pension age. Monti supports the French and German calls for tighter controls on national budgets. He said, "If Italy were not capable of reversing the negative spiral of growth in debt and restoring confidence to international markets, there would be dramatic consequences, which could go as far as putting the survival of the common currency at risk. Italy is ready to do what it has to do but Europe must not fail to do its part. Without this package, we think that Italy would have collapsed, that Italy would go into a situation similar to that of Greece. It would be perfectly understandable that the European Commission should have the same enforcement powers in the area of budgets that it has in the area of competition." He describes loosely a federation, where Goldman Sachs sits in the thrones of Europe, in a quasi debt failure receivership role. Unfortunately, the pressure on the Euro Central Bank to purchase Italian, Spanish, and Greek Govt Bonds has put its balance sheet in total ruins. It is the buyer of last resort for fast falling toxic bonds. The only central bank more ruined is the US Federal Reserve.
Felix Zulauf, the former hedge fund manager and asset manager, has very strong European knowledge and experience, a very sharp eye. He expects a depression to hit Southern Europe, and for one nation to exit the Euro Monetary Union next year. The process has no rules. The day after exit, the nation will suffer ruin of their banking system, forcing a rapid nationalization in a reverted currency. The end result will be a sovereign debt default and pure chaos across the continent. The coming depression will lay waste to the USDollar, the British Pound, and probably the Yen too. All fiat currencies will endure a powerful stress test, but based in reality, not a charade. As soon as any group of big Euro banks enter a failure and bust, the cascade of contagion will act like a fast moving virus to destroy many Western banks. We will then see a repeat of history with 20 Lehmans in bank failures, if not sooner.
CENTRAL BANKS AVERTED BANK FAILURES
The Euro Central Bank averted 10 to 20 Lehmans with the extended Dollar Swap Facility provided by the USFed. Money is almost free. The volume of money grants is enormous, likely never repaid. Witness the effect of the central banks showing reluctance to enter into bond purchases. The system breaks down in powerful manner. The European Central Bank said demand for three-month US$-based loans surged after it announced a broader Dollar Swap Facility for European usage. The USFed cut the cost of the financing from an ultra-low 1.0% to an almost free 0.5% rate. The USFed discount window was made cheaper for foreign banks than US banks (who pay 75 basis points), an indication of the destruction. Rumors persist that a cool $1 trillion has been made available. Five other central banks participated in the coordinated move which included the Bank of Japan. The Frankfurt-based EuroCB immediately made loans for $50.7 billion to 34 big teetering Euro banks on December 1st, the terms for 84 days at a fixed rate of 0.59 percent. That compares with the $395 million lent in the last three-month offering on November 9th at a 1.09% rate. The EuroCB also lent five banks $1.6 billion in regular weekly dollar operation on a single day as December opened, up from $352 million the previous week. The borrowing done at the Discount Window catapulted by 127-fold, from a paltry $395 million to $50.7 billion in a sudden move.
The public will not be informed of which banks tapped the credit line, more like a slush fund. They claim they do not wish to put the bank at risk of unwarranted attack. My view is the attack would be to put the proper value on the bank, ZERO. My sources tell that one major French bank was on the verge of failure, probably Societe Generale. Another source of bank and gold information was very clear in telling that the USFed acted reluctantly and forcefully, in order to avert a major catastrophe. He described a situation where several big Euro banks (the usual suspects in France, Spain, and Italy) were on the verge of failure. The USFed was appealed to by the EuroCB so as to prevent an estimated 20 Lehmans from occurring overnight, as in multiple bank failures from a flash event. He went on to mention that a flash event is inevitable, which the central bankers are powerless to stop. It will come in time, with an unknown trigger event that lights a fuse. Each new $trillion credit line buys less time and covers fewer obligations.
The Wall Street banks filled a void in providing liquidity in USDollar denomination to the big European banks. In doing so, the New York banks have tied themselves with a lethal financial tether to Europe. The London banks had already been connected. The connection lies in the shadowy derivative market. It used to be kept in the shadows since the contracts provided the majority of bank profit, and even supported the artificial rates in the bond market to a great extent. Now the derivative market is kept in the shadows because the big banks are mutually destroyed by insurance awards after failures. A little publicized trend was put into effect in the middle months of 2011. The big Wall Street banks filled a void. The inter-bank lending in Europe came to a halt in response to the sovereign debt crisis, a euphemism for the Southern European Govt bond market collapse. The big US banks offered a lifeline in the form of leveraged liquidity based upon unregulated derivatives whose notional value is in the $trillions. In doing so, the Anglo banks created a mutual risk factor in the umbilical cord of shadowy structures. If a handful of big European banks go bust, the contagion will be felt instantly (as in overnight) in New York and London. To claim that the US is insulated from Europe is nonsense. To claim that the European distress makes the US more attractive is patently false. Fifty major financial firms are tied around the necks with a common thick rope, weighed down by insolvency, going down together. Matters are so bad in Europe, that most banks have shut down the inter-bank lending, thus isolating the weakest. Huge funds placed at the Euro Central Bank signal the failures. The big European banks are soon to fail. They distrust each other.
THE GREAT GOLD PRICE DIVERGENCE
The Gold market has gone into the Twilight Zone. The ruin of the European banking system, dragged down by toxic sovereign debt, has made the big Euro banks desperate. They are tapping into the virtually unlimited Dollar Swap Facility, using borrowed money to lease gold. The Powerz have made the lease rate negative in order to attract borrowers. The supply has come from both Libya and Greece. These corrupted bankers require more gold, thus more wars and more victim nations. The system has turned to extreme abuse in order to keep a lid on the gold price, or better yet, to avert a string of Lehman-type financial firm failures in Europe. In the process, a Jackass forecast has begun to come to pass. The paper gold price (dictated by the bizarre COMEX market) is diverging from the physical gold price (determined by actual large private purchases). In late November, a great reliable global gold trader source assured that despite a posted $1740 gold price, the true physical price paid for large gold bullion purchases in the private market was more like $1950 per ounce!! That is a $200 price divergence, or 12% higher. The COMEX has been drained of gold inventory. The MF Global event was motivated by the desire to avoid meeting delivery notices. Instead, JPMorgan stole the accounts demanding delivery, a neat trick fully permitted by the Syndicate that controls the USGovt, the US regulatory bodies, and the US law enforcement. The lawsuits will be full of drama and intrigue. The integrity of the US financial system has been exposed, this time in full glory that even financial news anchors cannot deny.

Here is the smoking gun. Days after the MF Global bankruptcy was filed, and a vast array of deliveries in silver were expunged. The silver vault inventory tells the story of the crime. JPMorgan simply converted what should have been MF Global client silver into JPM licensed vaults. Review the timeline. MF Global declared bankruptcy on October 31st. About a week later the CME began reporting that 1.4 million ounces of Registered silver was unaccounted for and unavailable for delivery, including 627,182 ounces from non-cartel banks. About 7 to 10 days afterwards, JPMorgan suddenly reported a deposit of 613,738 ounces into Eligible vaults. Exactly seven days later, JPMorgan adjusted this silver into Registered vaults. JPMorgan had not seen one significant silver deposit in months prior to this bountiful day. Great work on the part of the Silver Doctors to decipher the story. The charade continues before the USCongress. They are told of claims that investigators are searching avidly for the missing funds. They know where the funds are, in JPMorgan London accounts. They told us they were avidly looking for Madoff Funds too. They know where those funds are too, in the Land of Yodels. Reckoning is coming.
Big bank failures are coming. Unspeakable debt monetization is coming. Flash events are coming. More vanishing acts for private accounts are coming. Divergence in the gold price is coming that will shut down the COMEX altogether during a parade of lawsuits, but probably not prosecution. National debt defaults are coming. The new 2012 year will prove to be a tumultuous year, will chaos reigning and the global monetary system laid to waste. Gold will soar, probably not for the leverage addicts who choose to play in the rigged corrupted futures contract arena, the chronic victims of fraud. If lucky, their accounts will not vanish, possibly stolen. The wise who will survive and thrive will snag the physical gold offered at attractive artificially low price. Large purchases are not available at the current posted paper price.
DESPERATELY SEEKING BULLION
The Powerz need more Libyas and Greeces. They tapped into 144 metric tons captured in London from the Libyan accounts and 111 metric tons seized from the Greek accounts. It is the bankers New Gold, as reported by intrepid Jeff Neilson. In a fresh sign of bankster desperation, the lease rates for gold have been pushed down to net negative levels. Contrast to the extraordinarily high premiums paid on gold purchases. Big European banks on the brink of ruin, the next Lehmans, are leasing gold in order to raise cash and stave off failure. It is simple math. The great enablers are the central banks. Cases exist of multiple sellers of the same gold bullion bars, a common trick made famous by the GLD exchange traded fund, the SPDR Gold (dis)Trust. All leasing is done without regulation, like the derivative market. Neilson concludes, "Here is where we come upon a seeming paradox with respect to the recent explosion of gold leasing. We know that the banksters have virtually run out of their own bullion, as the evidence is absolutely conclusive. The same Western central banks which were openly selling 500 tons of gold per year onto the market every year have now all totally ceased their gold sales. They have no more gold, or at least they had no more gold." The Washington Accord guided official gold sales, a completed process. The physical gold price is diverging from the false paper price directed by the COMEX and guardians like JPMorgan. If truth be known, over 40 thousand tons of gold bullion has been leased and sold that does not exist. In the coming years, reconciliation will assist in sending the gold price much higher, toward $5000 per ounce. As time passes, more criminal actions will be visible in the open, like MF Global.
