Another month, another bad jobs report. For the month of May, the U.S. economy only added 69,000 jobs and the unemployment rate rose to 8.2%. Many are calling this a total "disaster" and are worried that the U.S. economy could be headed back into another recession. Economists had been expecting 150,000 payroll jobs would be added, so the 69,000 number really shocked a lot of people. The truth is that the economy needs to add approximately 125,000 new jobs every single month just to keep the unemployment rate steady. So yes, this bad jobs report is not welcome news at all - especially for the Obama administration. When Barack Obama first took office the unemployment rate was sitting at 7.6 percent and now it is sitting at 8.2 percent. Some "recovery", eh? But the reality is that this jobs report was really not that "devastating" even though the stock market had its worst day of the year. Unemployment in America is still about at the same level as it was back at the beginning of 2012. The tough stretch that we are going through right now is only a very small taste of the economic nightmare that is on the horizon. If you think that things are a "disaster" right now, just wait until you see what is coming. At the moment, 53 percent of all Americans with a bachelor's degree under the age of 25 are either unemployed or underemployed, and there are more than 100 million working age Americans that do not currently have jobs. But this is only just the beginning. During the next major economic downturn, the unemployment rate in the United States is going to soar well up into the double digits. Many Americans will look back on 2010, 2011 and 2012 as "the good old days". Right now, there are only small pockets of the country that are total economic hellholes. For example, Yuma, Arizona has an unemployment rate of 26 percent, and El Centro, California has an unemployment rate of 26.2 percent. In the future, those kinds of numbers are going to become the norm all over the nation. Sadly, most Americans have no idea what is coming. Today, I wanted to share with you all a couple of chilling economic forecasts that I have been made aware of recently. The first is from Raoul Pal. According to Zero Hedge, Raoul Pal "previously co-managed the GLG Global Macro Fund in London for GLG Partners, one of the largest hedge fund groups in the world. Raoul came to GLG from Goldman Sachs where he co-managed the hedge fund sales business in Equities and Equity Derivatives in Europe... Raoul Pal retired from managing client money in 2004 at the age of 36 and now lives on the Valencian coast of Spain, from where he writes." The following is from a Zero Hedge summary of a recent presentation by Raoul Pal.... It continues: It only gets better. We use the term loosely: So how soon does Raoul Pal think all of this is going to happen?.... From a timing perspective, I think 2012 and 2013 will usher in the end. You can find his entire presentation entitled "The End Game" right here. What Raoul Pal is saying lines up very well with what Steve Quayle's anonymous international banking source is telling him.... There is no stopping this...We are still on track as I have been predicting for a while now for a fall/winter collapse of the Eurozone and naked exposure of all derivative markets the world over. Europeans will go through a major reset, after time they will recover as Europeans do not carry the type of personal debt that Americans do. It is for America that I worry. Look for these signs next: 1- JPM will be bailed out again but it will not stop the coming market crash. More details will emerge about their derivative swap failure $150 billion and counting. 2-BOA (BAC Bank of America) will fold and be absorbed into JPM as a way to prop up the bleeding Giant. JPM will get the best picking of this deal just like they got with Bear Stearns. 3- Massive layoffs at Citigroup and Wells Fargo 4- Goldman Sachs finally pays the piper, look for massive cuts there as well as BIG Losses 5- Bond market bust which leads to freeze of all bond sales 6- Derivative bust the next one will be BOA followed by Citigroup 7- All CDS shorts and swaps will freeze. 8- Total Meltdown You can read the rest of what that source is saying right here. As I have been saying all along, there are two keys that you need to be watching right now.... #1 Europe #2 Derivatives Sadly, the articles that I write about Europe tend to get far less of a response than my other articles get. Most Americans simply do not understand that what is happening in Europe right now is going to significantly affect their daily lives. And most Americans have very little understanding of derivatives. But as you just read, there are some in the financial community that are warning that we could see the derivatives bubble burst very soon. Time is running out. This period of relative stability that we are currently experiencing will not last forever. You better get ready.

This must be "the elephant in the room" post given no one is responding. Yep things are bad and will get worse and beware of the one(s) that are more than eager to pick up all the pieces.

By the summer of 2013 DC will look like that pic. '68 riot, but a lot worse.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
