An unanswered question proposed for our discussion:
Is M3 rising at 15-25% rate really a combination of a much higher M3 printing loans and money (including in the form of fictitious marking up above market of worthless collateral) to insiders within the Tapeworm offset by the deflation of all monetary aggregates accessible to outsiders as the insiders stop making loans and hoard liquidity to de-leverage and wind down their own positions?
In short, is part of the Solari’s slow burn scenario to send the blood to the insiders and shut off circulation to the outsiders? I believe that this is, in fact, what is happening and it is a urgent matter that outsiders take all steps possible to find ways of withdrawing resources and circulating them to trusted and responsible networks.
Derivative Trades Fell Most in 14 Years in Money Market Freeze
By Hamish Risk – Bloomberg.com (3 Mar 2008)
I am so uncertain as to what you mean exactly by trusted, responsible networks. I think of the core money being held by a firm doing commodities trading (in US treasuries!). How else to trade commodities?
Is a local credit union money market still ok if most of their money stays in the community?

The Federal Reserve’s rescue has failed
The verdict is in. The Fed’s emergency rate cuts in January have failed to halt the downward spiral towards a full-blown debt deflation. Much more drastic action will be needed.
