It may have been a bit telling that the equity market was not able to rally up after Ben and his Merry Banksters pledged their troth to endless liquidity and inflation even as the dollar went into a swoon.
So much of these machine driven markets are now smoke and illusion that it is difficult to derive much legitimate information from them, however.

"Where such a shift in power is in favor of the governing elite, Power will achieve its murderous potential. It simply waits for an excuse, an event of some sort, an assassination, a massacre in a neighboring country, an attempted coup, a famine, or a natural disaster, to justify the beginning of murder en masse. Most state sponsored murder occurs under the cover of war, revolution, or guerrilla war, or in their aftermath."
