The “Real” Unemployment Rate Jumps To 17.

1% The BLS’s U-6 number,

which is sometimes called the “real” unemployment rate, because it takes
into discouraged workers who aren’t looking for work ticked up in April
from 16.9% to 17.1%.

Next Up in the Spotlight: Italy, Again Middleton/Seeking Alpha: ‘As Greece,

and Portugal, and recently even Spain, bask in the spotlight of the bond
vigilantes, I want to remind my subscribers to be prepared for Italy’s turn to
dance. In Smoking Swap Guns Are Beginning to Litter EuroLand,
Sovereign Debt Buyer Beware! we scanned anecdotal evidence of Italy
hiding the Italian sausage. As discussed in a recent ZeroHedge article, a
1996 Italian currency swap, arranged by J.P. Morgan (JPM), allowed Italy to
receive large payments upfront that helped keep its deficit in line, with the
downside of greater payments later. In addition, to curbing their current
deficits, countries are now using these swap agreements to push off their
loan liabilities (related to swap agreements) to a later date through
securitization, and Greece is one such example. Under the 2001 deal
brokered by Goldman (GS), Greece swapped dollar- and yen-denominated
debt for euros at below-market exchange rates. The result was that the
country got paid €1 billion ($1.35 billion) upfront on the swap in exchange
for an obligation to buy the swaps back later. In 2005, this obligation was in
turn securitized as part of a 20-year debt issue, further pushing off the day
of reckoning. Moreover, one of the key reasons why such manipulations
continued is the apparent ignorance of the EU’s Eurostat, which knew
enough about these deals to tighten the rules governing their accounting-
albeit only after they had served their purpose – the Ponzi … Still, to date
too little is known about countries’ continued exposure to the deals that
are already out there … The questions is, will they be discovered before or
after the respective sovereign issues record debt to the suckers sovereign
fixed income investors? … If their overstatement of the ability to pull out of
this falls flat (which it most likely will) then you will see a spike in devt
service and interest, of course accompanied with the tried and true
“nobody could have seen this coming” statement from the BIS. No, not the
Bank for International Settlements, but the Bureau of Internal BS (excuse
my Italian). And in Lies, Damn Lies, and Sovereign Truths: Why the Euro is
Destined to Collapse! I show how even though Italy’s projections make the
EU and IMF numbers look overtly conservative, the reality of the situation
is that even those numbers are, and have been for years, pie in the sky …’

HEADINGS FOR SOME MELTDOWN-RELATED RECENT POSTS: Lobbyists fret … So what!

Who cares! Who should care? What is it that they do? As that song goes. ‘ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING’! And worse, everybody knows this. Yet, the stranger reality not discussed is the
fact of defacto bribes in terms of contributions given or withheld, extortion in a very real
sense of the word, and even blackmail [yes, there’s plenty of dirt among america’s
criminal so-called ruling class and that’s the way they like it for the sake of pliability if
nothing else. Have you ever wondered why those ‘whitehouse closedoor meetings’ are
invariably successful?]

Some lawmakers also shorted stocks - Self-serving, opportunistic, even criminal behavior
on the hill? Tell us something we don’t know.
Lost in all of this is attribution to the facilitators and, but of course, the fraud factor (that
clichéd 800 pound gorilla). Don’t forget, the legislated change of FASB accounting
rule(s) to feel good mark to anything valuation, along with the multi-trillions of
worthless toxic ‘assets’ / securities / paper still out there, is a recipe for failure by
any standard, rhetoric aside.

If only it were just Greece. Of course, it’s much, much more and at some point the markets
must acknowledge this reality for which there is no easy economic fix.

Supporting the american plan of perpetual war and spending money you don’t have and
like lemmings propelled to the precipice, and following america into oblivion. The
contagion is real, so-called recovery is not, and america’s at the core and is prominent on
the list of no longer too big to fail. Roubini Says Greece 'Tip of Iceberg' as Sovereign Debt
Threatens Recovery... / Greek financial crisis now considered contagion 'like ebola'

What lesson?(‘Speed kills’) Speed … that manipulated this fraudulent bubble to new
heights and enhanced volume and commissions through computerized high-
frequency trade programs? I’d be more inclined to go with less thrilling word picture
adages as,’ what goes up, must come down’, ‘live by the sword, die by the sword’,
‘fraud kills’.

Why? Panicked? Is that what happened? That wise old sage, the mother of Rosanne
Rosanna Danna of SNL fame, once said, ‘It’s always something’. Yes it is; but, not
the something they want you to think.

Wild? It is quite possible that if alive this day, Lewis Carroll would choose for Alice a stroll
down wall street rather than the rabbit hole, so surreal the fraudulent scenario has
become. Both sinkholes, never-the-less, so it is not a leap of imagination to envision
such similarity.

Europe? How ‘bout european / american. Cracks? How ’bout chasms wider than the San
Andreas Fault! Hey, but what da heck, dos defacto bankrupt europeans / americans
know how to throw a ‘good war’.

Debt crisis could spread across Europe - Could? Is that some kind of rhetorical
joke?
WHY IS THIS AN ALLEGED SURPRISE (SEE FORECASTS INFRA)? If it
were only european debt worries! The fact is this is a global depression,
exacerbated by lap dog european defacto bankrupt american perpetual war
and spending more than you have, exacerbated by a huge extent (many
trillions of worthless paper still out there and marked to anything ala
americano) fraud emanating from america. The orwellian europeans /
americans have become the destructive worldwide jokes that keep on
giving with america’s unsustainably insurmountable debt load / service.

This is a global depression. This is a secular bear market in a global

depression. This is a bull (s***) cycle in a secular bear market. This is a
manipulated bubble as has preceded the prior crashes with great regularity
that the wall street frauds and insiders commission and sell into. This is a
typical wall street churn and earn pass the hot potato scam / fraud as in
prior crashes.

"What this means is that Neanderthals are not totally extinct. In some of us,
they live on," Paabo … With regard to that extinction thing, I’d say
they’re still working on it (ultimately, decades, extinction, the
distinction, without a difference). Actually, prior to studying the
compelling subject of Biological Anthropology (Michael Park text), I
too had some misconceptions about the group known as Neandertals
(recent spelling drops the ‘h’) and actually mis-referenced same by the
stereotypical image of members of said clade even as the debate
continues as to whether they are within the species homo sapiens or a
separate species. I believe these to be distinctions without important
differences, so humble the origins and evolution of man truly are.
Parenthetically, I wonder what that anthropological scientist Heidi
Klum thinks on the subject.

Signs of Neanderthals Mating With Humans - Neanderthals mated with

some modern humans after all and left their imprint in the human
genome. Genome hints humans, Neanderthals rolled in prehistoric
hay You're a Neanderthal: Genes say yes — a little bit (AP)
Neanderthals and people interbred, fossil analysis finds For more info
on man’s humble beginnings, see here

Previously I wrote:

FOUND: MISSING LINK BETWEEN APES AND MAN.... These stories, and
the many like it, is old news and I subscribe to the more studied view
that there is no “missing link” per se and in my view are distinctions
without significant differences. I previously wrote:

To Learn More About From Whence Man Came, This Link's For You
 [To the Professor at the beginning of the course]

10-5-09 Postscript: Professor *****,

I felt compelled to thank you again for the add; not to curry your favor but
indeed to express profound thanks inasmuch as this is probably the last
formal course at a formal educational institution I'll ever take; and among
the most important. While I had bought at discount a library-discarded 1993
Anthropology by Embers text, though meaning to read same never quite
got to it. I am astounded by the substantial amount of time involved in the
evolutionary process, not that I ever stopped to think about it, and one
must come away with the sense of 'and all that...for this?'. This course
should be required curriculum along with psychology, sociology, etc., but
probably won't be owing to what is, as it should be, a very humbling
educational experience for any member of the human race.
Regards,
Al Peia

[Interestingly, my intuitive (but unstudied) thoughts prior to closer

examination of the compelling subject of Biological Anthropology
remain what I believe to be the correct scenario. Specifically, very
simply stated, for the most part, the more “enlightened” (but not by
much; by mutation, accident, luck, intervention, etc.) left the
unvarying confines of their Sub-Saharan origins, experienced diverse
new environs, challenges, etc., experienced what has been described
(by neuroscientists, psychologists, etc.) as neurogenesis in varying
degrees and forms thereby over time, which trait was selected for and
is consistent with the purported multi-regional evolutionary model
which does not overtly contradict ultimately, initial African origins.
Races, sub-species, missing links, etc., are subsumed in this very
humbling and sorrowful tale of the “dawn of man”.]
