Adam Kokesh on Russia Today – Obama is Even More Agressive Than Bush
February 27th, 2010 | 
Author: 
Congressional hopeful, Iraq War veteran Adam Kokesh on Russia Today regarding Obama’s foreign policy. As always, Adam’s analysis is insightful, accurate, and reminiscent of the view of the founders. The question that resonates in my mind, to all of those who were unknowingly duped by Obama’s slick campaign, is:
Why does Obama’s peace look like Bush’s war? The answer is simple, to those who know, and those who dare to take off their blinders and do their homework. The Council on Foreign Relations, or CFR.
The CFR is the policy making arm of the Federal Reserve System. Created in 1921 as the U.S. branch of the British R.I.I.A.. Its sole function is to bring about world economic domination for the international banking elite. To do so, they must control the monetary systems, and monetary policy by dominating the governments in the markets they seek to own. The end result is elimination of national sovereignty to an unelected international political body…
Remember, the same international bankers, through the fiat currencies that they control, fund both sides of the major military conflicts, and the Military Industrial Complex that Adam references. Their business is profiteering and extracting the wealth from the productive members of society, by creating governmental controls that line their pockets. They are the purveyors of war, famine, and genocide. Make no mistake, death is their calling card.

52. Fundamental Analysis and The US Economy
http://www.informedtrades.com/
A lesson on the basics of fundamental analysis, the top down and bottom up, and the US Economy for traders of the stock, futures, and forex markets.
there are two ways that traders analyze the markets which are known as technical analysis and fundamental analysis. As I also mentioned in that lesson while most people who buy and sell over the short term focus on technical analysis and most people who buy and sell over the long term focus on fundamental analysis, in my opinion both technical traders, fundamental traders, and investors can all benefit from at least having an understanding of both types of analysis even if they prefer one or the other as their primary tool they use to make their trading decisions.
While technical analysis focuses solely on the analysis of historical price action, fundamental analysis focuses on everything else including things such as the overall state of the economy, interest rates, production, earnings, and management. When analyzing a stock, currency or commodity using fundamental analysis there are two basic approaches one can use which are known as bottom up analysis and top down analysis. Bottom up analysis very simply means looking at the details such, as earnings if we are talking about a stock, first and then working one’s way up to the larger picture by looking at things such as the industry of the company who’s stock you are trading and then finally the overall economic picture. Top down analysis on the other hand means looking at the big picture things such as the economy first and then working one’s way down to the details such as earnings if we are talking about a stock.
While there is some debate about which method is best my personal preference is for Top Down analysis and since by starting this way we can start with the things that apply to all markets and not just the stock market this is how we will start.
The first thing that it is important to understand from a fundamental standpoint is what the economic situation is as it affects the financial instrument you are trading. As I am based in the US and the US is the World’s largest economy this is what I am going to talk about, however most of the things I discuss here apply in a broad sense to any economy. When we begin to discuss the foreign exchange market in later lessons we will go into specific details of the other major and emerging market economies from around the world.
According to Investopedia.com the definition of an Economy is “the large set of inter-related economic production and consumption activities which aid in determining how scarce resources are allocated. The economy encompasses everything relating to the production and consumption of goods and services in an area”
People often refer to the US Economy as a capitalist or free market economy. A capitalist or free market economy in its most basic sense is one in which the production and distribution of goods and services is done primarily by private (non government) companies and the price for those goods is set by the free market. This is in contrast to a socialist or planned economy where production and distribution of goods and services as well as the pricing of those goods and services is handled by the government.

Will Federal Money Cause the Next Crisis? – Peter Hartcher
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2009/04/15/Peter_Hartcher_Whos_to_Blame_for_the_Financial_Crisis
Journalist Peter Hartcher compares the current actions of central banks to those of Alan Greenspan after the last financial crisis. He warns that “excess money always leads to some nasty pernicious event.”
—–
According to Peter Hartcher, from 1996 on, Alan Greenspan, chairman of the United States Federal Reserve Board from 1987 till 2006, knew that equity markets were overheated and should have taken concerted action to cool them. In fact, Greenspan gave one speech in December 1996 questioning the “irrational exuberance” of investors but never followed up to pop the bubble.
By 1999, Greenspan had become an out-and-out cheerleader of the so-called New Economy, in which labor productivity was rising so quickly that inflationary pressures were of minimal concern. As the steward of America’s financial markets, he should have known better, Hartcher argues, but in the face of jawboning from both Congress and the White House, Greenspan buckled under and took the easy way out. – Sydney Institute
Peter Hartcher is an Australian journalist and the Political and International Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald. He is also Chair Editor of The Diplomat, an Australian foreign affairs journal, and a visiting fellow at the Lowy Institute for International Politics in Sydney.
