That is Ben Bernanke head of the Federal Reserve announced today what many had expected; that the Fed was going to purchase mortgage-backed securities and bonds to the tune of 40 billion dollars a month and keep interest rates low until at least 2015 . . . .that is if he keeps his job that long. The markets like easy money and our exports of such things as wheat immediately become more affordable for export. And let’s face it in light of the tragic murder of our U.S. ambassador in Libya on 9/11; the Mideastern countries cannot add food scarcity for the population to a tinder keg of a situation. Egypt purchased 250,000 tons of wheat overnight as other countries in the region purchased wheat as well.. Egypt has now purchased 1.7 million tons in a month or so.

Yes, we like to have other nations buy our exports, and it's generally considered a good business practice to avoid blatant and inflammatory insults to those nations whom we seek as friends and trading partners.

Israel Preps - Game On



While the US has initiated some level of response, redirecting a couple of Navy ships to the Libya area, we still note the US reported ship deployments are at very "thin" levels: Only four carriers out and only two amphibious assault ships.

More Curious: Canada has just extended the deployment length possible for Canadian Forces members...Effective: 15 Sept. which is what? Odd timing, but the drum beat gets louder.

But Israel? A different story entirely. One reader email sums it up this way:

"My brother and his family live in Jerusalem [redacted] and his office is close to one of Israel's largest underground military bases. He called me last night which is very unusual - usually it is email. He called to tell me that he is sending his family back to the US immediately due to what he is seeing happen within the last week and what he is being told by his military contacts in both the Israel and US military.

He said he is seeing with his own eyes military movements the likes of which he has never seen in his 20+ years in Israel. What he called a massive redeployment and protective tactics of forces is underway. Over the last two days he has seen anti-aircraft missile deployments throughout the Jerusalem area including 3 mobile units that he can see from his office windows. In addition, he has seen very large Israeli armored columns moving fast toward the Sinai where Egypt has now moved in Armor.

There are reports of the top military leaders meeting with Israel's Sr. Rabi which is something that has happened preceding every prior military campaign. His admonition is to watch carefully and pray for Israel and its people. He is convinced that barring something extraordinary Israel will attack Iran - with or without the US - and very soon.

It is the belief in Israel that Obama does not stand with Israel but with the Arab countries. He has told me before that Israel will saber rattle from time to time but that this time is very different from what he is seeing and hearing. He was at the Wailing Wall 2 days ago and there were hundreds of IDF soldiers there. As he was leaving he passed at least 20 military buses full of soldiers in route to the wall. He has never seen this before either.

My brother is not an alarmist by any means. When he talks like this it gets my attention for sure and usually I find he knows more than he shares. There are reports that Israel is asking Obama to come to Israel immediately but they are being answered with silence. My opinion is that I see the making of the perfect storm with Yom Kippur happening on the 25th."

Thanks, Karl...by the way, why aren't you in jail?

Although he has served less than a term, Obama is now the first American president to see the federal government's debt increase by more than $5 trillion during his time in office.

During the full eight years that George W. Bush served as president, the federal government's debt increased by $4,899,100,310,608.44. (Rising from $5,727,776,738,304.64 to $10,626,877,048,913.08.)
