For those who believe this may be end times and wonder how the world may accept the emergence of global leadership and global currency then "operation end game" may have some merit. I encourage those interested to do some research on the matter. Current events only continue to support the theory and I have not seen any contridictions. I would consider it ammusement only at this point and not absolute fact. There are many authors much more connected, edcucated, and smarter than I know that subscribe to this theory, and there are many that subscribe to it and do not admit it publically. I know this because I have had some conversations with a few that have stated as such. Some, like Jim Willie and the Hat Trick Letter received a few threats and contributed to the decision to leave the U.S. and Europe after discussing details of the global plan to subscribers.

Tin hat? yes/maybe Absolute fact? not really. It should be something to watch however for those interested in watching end times events it should be something to keep an eye on, it will be one of the last things to emerge and become transparent.

Regardless, the below article is a great article. I noted the above because the below makes some references to "end game"

DD and research are recommended on this subject...It is something I study in detail but I do not post a lot about because there is not much conclusive evidence, yet.

“In conjunction with the banking system’s solvency crisis, the market and economic circumstances have the broad financial system facing its greatest risks of instability or outright collapse in modern times…the Federal Reserve will spend every dollar it needs to create in order to prevent the financial system from collapsing. A systemic failure is not an option for the Fed, and any needed bailouts will not be limited to large banks…much of the salvage operation may be covert. Not to do so would promise a deflationary great depression…Unfortunately, however, the eventual result of the great bailout will be a hyperinflationary great depression…” (emphasis added) shadowstats.com, Alert, March 5, 2008

“We face a hyperinflationary great depression OR an attempt to implement The Cartel’s Ominous End Game.” Deepcaster, March 6, 2008

Evidence continues to mount that The Cartel* of Central Bankers is moving ever closer to implementing their Ominous “End Game” strategy which Deepcaster first described in its Alert “Massive Financial-Geopolitical Scheme Not Reported by Big Media” on August 13, 2006. This End Game would radically change the financial and geopolitical landscape, much to the detriment of the middle class and working poor in the United States and elsewhere. (Note: this scheme is now being opposed, somewhat belatedly, by a Resolution pending in Congress.)

Investors and traders who are not attentive to the impending implementation of this End Game strategy risk taking massive losses.

“Also, before Congress yesterday, Chairman Bernanke suggested that banks reduce the principal due on defaulted or troubled mortgages so that homeowners would have positive equity in their properties. Bernanke has to know that such is a near-impossibility for mortgages bundled into structured securities, and that suggests he may have something else in mind for the system…non-traditional approaches could be under consideration. A couple of years back, Mr. Bernanke noted that the Fed was free to buy up any securities it wanted to in order to provide liquidity to the system. Such could range from equities to troubled mortgage0backed securities. In other places and other times (sometimes in the United States) actions ranging from nationalization of a banking system; to wage and price controls; to capital controls that restrict non-commercial transference of currency from a country, inhibiting flight from the domestic currency; to other options involving more-direct government control of the financial system…” (emphasis added) shadowstats.com, Alert, March 5, 2008

Several items of evidence lead us to the conclusion systemic risks are increasing and, therefore, that the attempted implementation of the “End Game: is drawing ever nearer:

1) The monthly-average annual growth in M3, the money supply, hit an all-time high of 16.7% in February, 2008, according to shadowstats.com. If this rate were sustained, it would result in a doubling of the Money Supply in just over 4 years - - a rampant monetary inflation which inevitably brings a rampant price inflation. Money supply growth cannot forever continue at an accelerating rate without a ‘Weimar Republic’ type crisis. Therefore a financial system “day of reckoning” is inevitable.

2) Another item of evidence came in a recent exchange between Presidential candidate and Hard-Assets Constitutionalist Hero, Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. The text of this exchange published on goldseek.com and reported by GATA (Gold AntiTrust Action Committee at www.gata.org) was appropriately titled “Paul Takes Bernanke to School About Inflation.”

The heart of the exchange, well reported by GATA, is as follows:

“Paul observed that inflation is an increase in the money supply, and he quoted estimates that the U.S. money supply has been exploding lately - - estimates Bernanke did not attempt to contradict. This explosion in the money supply, Paul said, is currency debasement that expropriates savers. He asked Bernanke how it could be justified.

Bernanke replied that the Fed’s statutory mandate is price stability rather than money supply.

Whereupon Paul cited the sharply rising Producer Price Index.

Bernanke answered that he prefers to go by the Consumer Price Index. (Maybe because it is more aggressively manipulated by the government.?)

Paul countered that even the CPI has turned up sharply lately.

The best Bernanke could do was to acknowledge that the Fed is concerned about that - - concern that seems likely to manifest itself shortly in a strange way, with more reductions by the Fed in official interest rates, pushing them even further below official inflation and expropriating savers even more to rescue the banks and financial houses that lately defrauded the world with the Fed’s connivance.”

Two key points are noteworthy. First, GATA hit the nail right on the head when it said that The Fed’s actions were “expropriating savers even more to rescue the banks and financial houses that lately defrauded the world with The Fed’s connivance.”

The foregoing exchange is yet another indication that the so-called “U.S.” Federal Reserve Bank does not act in the interest of the American people, which is not surprising as it is a for-profit private entity owned by large international financial institutions whose actions reflect a commitment to the interests of those big international financial institutions and not the United States, or to savers, or to reducing inflation, or even to their ostensible goal of “price stability.”

In fact, the “price stability” which Bernanke said was the Fed’s goal, is not being achieved - - actual Consumer Price Inflation is increasing at a nearly 12% annual rate (www.shadowstats.com).

Left unstated was the inevitable effect of the Fed’s continuing to cut short-term interest rates (i.e. the Fed funds rate and the discount rate). One certain result of these rate cuts is to continue to sacrifice the U.S. Dollar, making a mockery of the so-called “Strong Dollar” policy claimed by the U.S. Federal Reserve and Treasury Department. (Note: Deepcaster believes the Dollar will soon begin to bounce but the bounce will be short-lived - - a few months at the very most - - and the Dollar will then resume its Plunge.)

Not only does the sacrifice of the U.S. Dollar penalize savers, as pointed out in the interview, it also hurts the purchasing power of all Americans and, particularly the middle-class and working poor. Indeed the purchasing power of the Dollar has declined over one-third in the past five years, vis-à-vis other major currencies. That is one reason why everything costs so much more.

Most ominous, however, is what is obvious from the interview. The sacrifice of the U.S. Dollar and the consequences thereof are either being done knowingly or as a result of rank incompetence. Bernanke was caught in a huge contradiction - - he did not deny that the money supply was increasing very rapidly (though he did not admit is was growing as rapidly as we know it is), yet he claimed the Fed’s goal is “price stability,” a goal utterly inconsistent with its explosive money supply growth which The Fed causes.

What was all but explicit was the fact that the dramatic increases in money supply debase the currency. The logical conclusion is that the Fed is knowingly destroying the U.S. Dollar. This conscious destruction of the U.S. Dollar and its systemic implications are key components of the Cartel End Game (which Deepcaster first described in its 8/13/06 Alert, and then elaborated on in its June, 2007 Letter “Profiting From the Push to Denationalize Currencies and Deconstruct Nations” and most recently in its January, 2008 Letter).

This conscious destruction of the U.S. Dollar has been a primary driver of recent Gold, Silver and Crude Oil record highs.

But essential to the Fed-led Cartel’s legitimacy and power is that the Precious Monetary Metals and Strategic Tangible Assets like Crude Oil not be or become competitors with their Fiat Currencies and Treasury Securities. Thus The Cartel seeks to take down Precious Metals and Strategic Commodities prices at opportune times.

3) The U.S. Dollar does not have an infinite downside. Yet it is under increasing pressure from all quarters, including, especially from continuing Fed actions. On March 7, 2008, The Fed announced it would conduct a series of (28 day) term repurchase transactions amounting eventually to $100 billion. This additional liquidity portends more price inflation and an even weaker Dollar in the long-term. This action would not have been taken were there not increasing systemic risk.

Thus it is understandable that one (of several) key components of The Cartel’s End Game (clear even to some members of Congress) is to eventually replace the U.S. Dollar with the Amero (see Deepcaster’s June, 2007 Letter for details). Needless to say, the Amero would be another Fiat Currency whose issuance is planned to be controlled by the same Central Bank Cartel which now controls the fate of the U.S. Dollar.

But in order to drive the U.S. Dollar down in order to make the transition to the Amero and the other components of the Massive Financial/Geopolitical Scheme (see Deepcaster’s June, 2007 Letter at www.deepcaster.com) the Fed must again attempt soon to de-legitimize Gold and Silver as alternatives to their Fiat Currencies and Treasury Securities by attempting to take down their prices again, and Crude Oil along with them. Deepcaster’s Forecast regarding the outcome of this attempt is contained in its latest Alert “Intervention Risk Acceleration Provides Profit Opportunity, and a Buy Recommendation” post in the ‘Alerts Cache’ at www.deepcaster.com.

4) A final ominous note was struck when the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta just this January released a video on Crisis Preparedness. Excerpts from their Press Release are:

“In the aftermath of a disaster, banks play a vital role distributing cash to their customers and ensuring that their customers are able to meet the financial needs of their families and their businesses. Drawing on the experience of bankers who have weathered crisis situations, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta developed Crisis Preparedness: Reconnecting the Financial Lifeline, a DVD designed to assist bankers with the institutions emergency preparedness efforts. Each section of the DVD profiles a facet of crisis preparedness, from preparing and testing a plan to caring for employees to providing cash to customers to working with banks and first responders. The DVD features interviews with bankers and Atlanta Fed staff. The examples featured in the DVD emphasize the need for crisis preparedness and practical steps institutions can take to be prepared. The DVD includes supplemental in-depth interviews with these featured bankers. The DVD can be downloaded or ordered at the Atlanta Fed’s website, http://www.frbatlanta.org/bank_info/crisis_preparedness.cfm.”

Need we have any more evidence than all of the foregoing for the increasing probability of an attempted implementation of The Cartel’s Ominous End Game?

Excellent article! I am, however, able to take solace in the fact that they may have an endgame plan, but that does not mean they will be able to enact it very easily.. if at all... there are too many variables. It should be interesting to watch anyhow...

True, however, Scripturely speaking, eventually someone or some group will be successful...

We are wondering if some of the cash we are trying to put away should be exchanged for the euro?

If so, where do we get them?

Slipping Out Of Control, Author: Jim Sinclair

Dear Extended Family,

First I told you “This Is It!” and clearly this is, in fact, it.

I have demonstrated to you that there is no practical solution to this gathering of problems caused by unbridled greed and the lack of regulation to facilitate it.

Now I am telling you that it is “Slipping Out Of Control”

Attempts to use tools that have no practical power to cure the problem are pushing the problem over the hill.

In the Weimar Republic the great plan to depreciate the currency in order to depreciate war reparations written in it was to let it “get out of control.” The currency began a march to zero and gold therefore went to infinity in terms of that currency.

I do not expect such a situation percentage wise. I pray the situation that is now “Slipping Out Of Control” does not go to such ends. The Weimar case study however is a duplicate of today’s conditions.

All you need to do is replace the words “war reparations” from the Weimar case study with “over the counter derivative meltdown in credit and default derivatives” and you have a similar situation in economic history to which you can compare today.

Gold is going to a minimum of $1650.

Every category of gold shares will participate, with many substantially outperforming gold as shorts are forced to cover.

“This is it” and it is “Slipping Out Of Control.”

Eliminate as many intermediaries between you and your assets. Own the Swiss and Cando treasury instruments. Have at least 1/3 of your liquid net assets in gold and precious metals shares. For some it will be more.

Under no circumstances use margin.

Hard assets are about to make their entrance onto the stage of the establishment equity investors.

Before you go opt for a gold ETF read the original prospectus thoroughly.

Do not try and save the world. The world will think you are crazy and get annoyed. You can only protect yourselves. The saddest thing is Joe Six Pack is LOST, sacrificed on the sick altar of greed.

Regards,
Jim

In The News Today

Author: Jim Sinclair


Dear CIGAs,

Here is a picture of what the bailout that was certain, like Friday's $200 billion to fix everything, is going to do to us ALL. Weimar is the case study. Zimbabwe is today's demonstration of the end game. Joe Six Pack is going to be reverse split.

Did it every occur to you that Mother Nature may be really mad at us for allowing Earth to get so screwed up? What is the possibility we are all being water boarded?


Jim Sinclair’s Commentary

How long can you bail out the banks by Fed action which can only be described as lending newly created money at face (farce) value on busted instruments. The answer is simple - until the US dollar hits .5200, which it will. All this will do is make the problem worse. Unfortunately, the Fed is against a wall and will have to burn the barn down. The barn is the US dollar. This is getting totally out of hand and will undoubtedly implode on itself.

Banks face "systemic margin call," $325 billion hit: JPM
Sat Mar 8, 2008 9:23am EST
By Walden Siew

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wall Street banks are facing a "systemic margin call" that may deplete banks of $325 billion of capital due to deteriorating subprime U.S. mortgages, JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N: Quote, Profile, Research), said in a report late on Friday.

JPMorgan, which sent a default notice to Thornburg Mortgage Inc. (TMA.N: Quote, Profile, Research) after the lender missed a $28 million margin call, said more default notices and margin calls were likely. The Carlyle Group's mortgage fund also failed to meet $37 million in margin calls this week.

"A systemic credit crunch is underway, driven primarily by bank writedowns for subprime mortgages," according to the report co-authored by analyst Christopher Flanagan. "We would characterize this situation as a systemic margin call."
The credit crisis that began about a year ago will likely intensify after Friday's weak February U.S. employment report "that most definitely signals recession," JPMorgan said.

Indeed, corporate bond spreads widened to a new record on Friday, surpassing levels seen in October 2002 during a boom in bankruptcies following the dot-com crash. U.S. employers cut payrolls in February for a second consecutive month, slashing 63,000 jobs, the biggest monthly job decline in nearly five years, the U.S. Labor Department reported on Friday.

"The weak February employment report points to an economy in recession," JPMorgan said.

The JPMorgan report included a revised bleaker forecast for subprime-related home prices. The bank now sees prices falling 30 percent, from its prior 25 percent forecast. Those prices have declined 14 percent since mid-2006, JPMorgan said.

they may have an endgame plan, but that does not mean they will be able to enact it very easily.. if at all...

But, enactment or not, the attempt to do so can create a lot of carnage along the way.

The banks can't hide their insolvency like last year. The paper they are holding is absolutely worthless, and the Fed keeps trying to stop the bleeding with a band-aid.

I'm still waiting to see how they pull this one off. As Bernanke prints money our inflation is skyrocketing. Pay has decreased due to outsourcing to other countries, and getting credit is extremely tough now. Add that to unemployment and falling home values, and you get a pretty grim picture of our economy.

Help me connect the dots.

I understand the transfer of power idea. And how diluting currency destabilizes economies. And I see how transferring risk from banks to the FED helps cover banking losses (at our expense.)

But why would the central bankers want to bankrupt banking? Aren't they big holders of alot of the commercial banks around the world?
