From Mike Krieger of KAM LP<\/p>\n

The Bill of Rights is a literal and absolute document. The First Amendment doesn\u2019t say you have a right to speak out unless the government has a \u2018compelling interest\u2019 in censoring the Internet. The Second Amendment doesn\u2019t say you have the right to keep and bear arms until some madman plants a bomb. The Fourth Amendment doesn\u2019t say you have the right to be secure from search and seizure unless some FBI agent thinks you fit the profile of a terrorist. The government has no right to interfere with any of these freedoms under any circumstances.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013 Harry Browne<\/p>\n

The inherent right in the people to reform their government, I do not deny; and they have another right, and that is to resist unconstitutional laws without overturning the government.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013 Daniel Webster<\/p>\n

It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people\u2019s minds.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rebellion Has Arrived in America<\/strong><\/p>\n

As most of you know, I spend almost as much time studying social changes and geopolitics happening around the world as I do studying markets. While carefully observing those areas are always important to a macro investor such as myself, when you are smack in the middle of a Fourth Turning they take on an increased level of importance. What has shielded the U.S. from a lot of the social strife sweeping the rest of the globe at the moment has been the U.S. dollar\u2019s reserve status since this allows us to print seemingly infinite amounts of paper dollars and shove them down the throats of the rest of the world for their resources. This keeps the populace fat, happy and most importantly asleep and apathetic. Well I am pleased to announce that those days are OVER. The American populace is now in the very beginnings of a state of open peaceful rebellion against the criminal oligarchic mafia that runs the nation through fraud and corruption. The status quo is likely to become increasingly defensive as a result and may lash out aggressively like a cornered rat, but they cannot and will not win. They can only really win when they own your mind and that battle has already been lost. Six months from now the state of rebellion will have moved from just beneath to the surface to the forefront of everyone\u2019s mind. It will be a peaceful and constitutional rebellion and it will end with new ways of doing things, more freedoms and a very long road toward rebuilding a safe, fair, free and localized society once TPTB\u2019s prison planet grid of control has been torn down forever.<\/p>\n

Occupy Wall Street <\/strong><\/p>\n

I will be the first to admit that I faded the whole idea of this \u201cOccupy Wall Street\u201d protest. I had already seen several failed attempts at protest in NYC come and go and I just sadly assumed the spirit of that once great city had died forever. I am extraordinarily happy to report that I was wrong. When I watched some video of police brutality at NYC protests this weekend I was stunned. Not because the cops acted like some mercenary storm trooper thugs, but because this protest that has started the week before still had momentum! Check out this link regarding what is going on. It has two must watch videos. http:\/\/market-ticker.org\/akcs-www?post=194965 <\/a> The first one already has over 400k watches on youtube. This is the spark I have been waiting for and I am pleased beyond belief that it happened in Manhattan right where it should. How about this appearance of Cornel West at the protest on Tuesday. http:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/rawreplay\/2011\/09\/cornel-west-at-occupy-wall-str\u2026 I am proud of my old home today. This is a big deal. The serfs are coming together. Keep it up.<\/p>\n

Most of you reading this right now are thinking that this is interesting but he is exaggerating and this will blow over. I am here to assure you that it is not and this whole thing is about to grow exponentially as the economy continues to stagnate and people climb the learning curve. Are you aware that the founder of Salon.com, David Talbot, is publicly calling for an \u201cAmerican Spring?<\/a>\u201d This of course is a reference to the Arab Spring, in which revolution swept across North Africa earlier this year and led to the collapse of the Tunisian and Egyptian governments and then major government bribes to the people living in the oil rich kingdoms. Mr. Talbot writes \u201cIn these increasingly hard times, Salon is dedicating itself to an American revival. Our editorial mission will become more explicitly and aggressively populist. We will be publishing more investigative pieces, exposing the shadow dance of power. And both Democratic and Republican targets will be fair game, since both parties are increasingly under the control of the same corporate forces.\u201d His full piece is here http:\/\/www.salon.com\/about\/american_spring\/index.html?story=\/about\/insid\u2026<\/a> You need to read it if you want to understand where all of this is headed. How about journalist Chris Hedges talking about \u201cOccupy Wall Street\u201d http:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/rawreplay\/2011\/09\/chris-hedges-occupy-wall-stree\u2026 We the people now understand it is not \u201crich vs. poor,\u201d businessperson vs. teacher.\u201d It is serf vs. oligarch. They are 0.1% and we know what they are up to. GAME ON.<\/p>\n

Jaime Dimon Proves he is a Complete and Total Psychopath <\/strong><\/p>\n

I am not even going to write my own thought paragraph about how delusional and insane this man\u2019s statements were the other day on banking regulations. Rather I will provide links to articles by people that have done a great job of exposing the absurdity of this parasitic oligarch\u2019s comments. My favorite line by far on this is from fellow ex-Wall Streeter Nomi Prins who writes:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are few things more cringe-inducing than a government-subsidized bank CEO spouting self-serving, entitlement-laden idiocy to the world just because he and his bank might be subject to some extra constraints. That hasn\u2019t stopped JPM Chase CEO Jamie Dimon from acting like a spoiled, sociopathic brat while characterizing proposed Basel III capital requirements and regulations as \u2018anti-American\u2019 at every opportunity. They are not \u2018anti-American\u2019 but globally risk-mitigating in a time of widespread economic Depression, a point lost in the haze of Dimon\u2019s megalomania.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her full article is here http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/guest-post-jamie-dimon%E2%80%99s-shameful-\u2026<\/a>. Precious metals hero and money manager Eric Sprott chimed in with this letter to the Globe and Mail. http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/eric-sprott-jamie-dimon-letter-2011-9<\/a><\/p>\n

Jaime Dimon is a real piece of work. It is as if he is asking for a custom made guillotine (metaphorically speaking of course as I do not condone violence in any way shape or form). At least Lloyd Blankfein had the sense to read the writing on the wall, shut up and hire an attorney.<\/p>\n

So in conclusion, rebellion has arrived on America\u2019s shores and it is about time. The moment is here for each of us to make important decisions. Save freedom and liberty or allow the oligarchs to enslave us and your children for generations. Peter Orzag recently wrote that \u201cWe need Less Democracy.\u201d http:\/\/www.tnr.com\/article\/politics\/magazine\/94940\/peter-orszag-democrac\u2026 This is what these guys are gunning for. Just think about who this \u201cWE\u201d he is talking about is.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t kid yourself. Pretty much everyone on this list is a serf no matter how rich you are. Don\u2019t kid yourself.<\/p>\n

Peace and Wisdom,
\nMike<\/p>\n
