Buyer for Every Seller

Buyer for Every Seller

Futures markets figure prominently in the discussion of the price at the pump.

Futures markets are supposed to be a means of hedging the price of commodities so a business has an even price-input risk. It also allows for a farmer, for example, to have a buyer at any time. Futures are used that way.

Arbitrage, however, also enters the futures market and that's why it was allowed to be unregulated along with all other aspects of the financial sector; and combined with allowing a high concentration, consolidation, of capital, the result has been a PREDICTABLY severe liquidity crisis (not enough capital to drive growth).

Capital is being used to buy and sell the existing supply, and because the supply is being reduced while demand increases along with an inequitable, consolidated, bid on the price, the price of commodities is magnified, distorted, even more. This is happening with both food and fuel and being explained as market fundamentals.

Let's just call it for what it is since we are paying a premium for food and fuel that is supposed to add supply. Attributing the high-demand price, the high premium, to market fundamentals is just an outright lie! It is the product of criminal behavior, and needs to be prosecuted as a knowing and willing fraud in the marketplace.

Let's see, so in the name of global economic development, we are shipping our raw materials to Asia, increasing energy demand; manufacturing a cheap finished product, increasing energy demand; shipping the product back to the US, increasing energy demand while we lose our jobs, reducing purchasing power; we lose our small businesses, reducing purchasing power, supply of employers and the tax base.

Yes, the market has been fundamentally organized into a whipsaw. Demand has been organized to outpace the supply of energy and the supply of employment to deliberately produce a slow growth (uncompetitive) economy of deprivation, and we are being told it is the result of a natrually competitive global economy. It is just an outright lie!

Taxing the beneficiaries is no gimmick! If you want to see gimmick, look at the way the global economy is organized and explained away as a free market economy. Deconsolidate the accumulation of the capital that has been organized by a global command economy and we can have a free market with the legitimacy of market fundamentals. Until then, we are operating with a pack of lies.

Changing this organized tyranny is not difficult once we get past the lies and deceit.

Build the coalition for Senator Obama to be the next President of the United States!

Yes, we can!

Very best wishes.

Threshold of Tolerance

Threshold of Tolerance

The consumer coalition anticipated to counter the oil cartel prompted the Saudis to call a meeting to assure consumers OPEC will not allow a global recesson due to "unjustified prices."

Not only do we see the power of building a coaltion, but admission of a speculative command of the bid and fear of a more pluralistic market environment going forward.

Pluralism works. However, elite control of the global economy being commanded on the bid for both food and fuel is stubbornly persistent in the face of mounting retributive value. This is very dangerous.

Remember that the global elite consider themselves to be beyond the status of sovereign (Hamiltonian politics). Their ruling class status has to be demonstrated to have credibility. That means non-elits must suffer and find relief by the hand of the extra-sovereign power, the supra class of class society. These super elits consider the Saudi sovereign to be weak like all sovereigns. The Saudis, of course, resent the lower class implication and have called the speculative command of the bid to be excessive; and so we have the classic clash of elits that a pluralistic model of power controls by requiring the ambitions of power solicit the accountability of the sovereign (Jeffersonian politics).

This extra-sovereign elite has not reached a threshold of tolerance demanded by the non-elite. It fully intends to test the limit and demonstrate its power despite a crumbling neo-conservative coalition. The demonstration will only serve to expose the abusers and the secretive means of abuse. The supra-sovereigns will fully realize the conceit of their power, losing it by operation of their own, obvious, consolidated means. It is a target so big, we can't miss. Bigger is not better, even for the elite.

Build the new coaltion! End this conceited farce of power politics and get on with living the truth of our natural sovereignty.

Build the coalition for Senator Obama to solicit his skillful and effective leadership, and heightened moral intelligence.

Very best wishes.
