With the “DOW JONES PROPAGANDA AVERAGE” trading at new all-time highs -excluding inflation and survivor bias, of course…

…I put together a pictorial depicting where the world’s economy stands FIVE YEARS after 2008’s Global Meltdown I.  In the interest of brevity, I’m not going to write much; as in this case, PICTURES TELL A THOUSAND WORDS.

In fact, if you can get through this without realizing “key indices” like the Dow are up solely due to INFLATION and GOVERNMENT MANIPULATION, you probably shouldn’t be making investments.  Then again, MOST people should not be “investing”; but instead, holding “life’s savings” in the only asset class proven to PROTECT wealth throughout the ages – PHYSICAL Precious Metals.

First, let’s start with HOUSING; in the United States (wow, what a “recovery”)…

…and – to choose among countless dying economies- Spain…

Here’s inflation – in the United States – where Bernanke says it’s tame, despite the “DELUSIONS OF A FED CHAIRMAN”…

…and, according to the World Bank (heavily understated, I’m sure) – the WORLD…

Here’s GLOBAL TRADE – as measured by the Baltic Dry Index…

…and here’s unemployment – in the Euro Zone (at its LOW POINT, as I write)…

…and the United States – using REAL data…

…as validated by the only statistic the government CANNOT “cook” – the Labor Participation Rate…

Here’s the U.S. Money Supply…

…the U.S. national debt (well above the “suspended” $16.394 trillion debt ceiling)…

…the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet…

…and the “top four” Central bank balance sheets…

Here’s the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond rate (thank you, “QE”)…

…and last but not least – some of the world’s major stock markets; like China…

…France…

…and Greece…

In fact, the ONLY markets up strongly “FIVE YEARS LATER” are the two that spend EVERY SECOND of EVERY DAY under attack by those that desperately want – but CANNOT have – all the other charts to turn upward; i.e., GOLD…

…and SILVER…

For once, I’m going to simply SHUT UP; and let you digest where things have gone – and where they’re likely going…
