President Obama just ordered investors to short the
bond market. Why? It’s time (world power-brokers deem it’s the time to crash
world economies).
What is my proof? This is a story from “The
Liberator." http://beforeitsnews.com/contributor/pages/243/676/bio.html
(I don’t endorse “The Liberator," or his other
stories. I like his evidence, cited here.)

Ambrose: If Bernanke really shakes the tree, half
the world may fall out
We no longer have a free market. The world’s
financial asset prices have become a plaything of central banks and the
sovereign wealth funds of a few emerging powers.
Julian Callow from Barclays says they are buying
$1.8 trillion worth of AAA or safe-haven bonds each year from an available pool
of $2 trillion. Nothing like this has been seen before in modern times, if
ever.
The Fed, the ECB, the Bank of England, the Bank of
Japan, et al, own $10 trillion in bonds. China, the petro-powers, et al, own
another $10 trillion. Between them they have locked up $20 trillion, equal to
roughly 25pc of global GDP. They are the market. That is why Fed taper talk has
become so neuralgic, and why we all watch Chinese regulators for every clue on
policy.
We will find out tomorrow whether Ben Bernanke is
ready to blink after the market ructions of the last three weeks, sobered by
the cascading upsets across the Brics and mini-Brics; or whether he will stay
the course with Fed tapering sooner rather than later.

Obama’s recent comments suggest interest rates could
soar this year
Did President Obama just give the signal to short
the bond market?
In his comment that Ben Bernanke has served as Fed
chairman longer than he has desired, the President has certainly provided a
clue that Bernanke may be gone as Fed chairman sooner rather than later.
Indeed, it now appears that Bernanke may be a goner
by September.
If this is the timeline we are looking at, interest
rates may accelerate their current ascent.
Although interest rates have been on a long term
down trend for years (In 1987, interest rates on 10-year notes were as high as
10%, and currently stand at 2.19%), there have been periods when interest rates
bucked the downtrend.
Two notable periods that have seen upward moves in
interest rates were when Fed chairmen departed.
As Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker left the
Fed chairmanship in August 1987, the interest rate on the 10-year note climbed
from 8.2% to 9.2% between June 1987 and September 1987. This was followed, of
course by the October 1987 stock market crash…
Here Are The Warning Signs That Preceded The Last 3
Bond Market Crashes
[Shmita Year] 1994: The lead indicators were a
pickup in US bank lending and small business hiring intentions, which led to a
Q1 payroll shock and caused the Fed to quickly tighten policy.
[Shmita Year] 1987: The October crash was preceded
by a dangerous combination of rising stocks, bond yields and gold prices, as
well as global policy discord, as the Germans and Americans argued about
monetary and exchange rate policy.
1998: Amidst the ongoing Asian Financial Crisis and
Japanese bank bailouts, confusion on how much the Fiscal Investment and Loan
Program of the government would buy government bonds caused yields to jump by
more than 100 basis points in less than three months, which led to a 13% equity
correction.
