      Will Hide M-3 To Keep You From Knowing What?
      
      Some interesting Sunday 
      reading from the 'From the Wilderness" website. The site has an email list 
      that can be? subscribed to free at?http://www.fromthewilderness.com. 
      I have no relationship to them. Just a periodic reader.

      their performance (which is the subject of this article?s second half, 
      available at http://safehaven.com/article-4108.htm). But this excerpt, like most of their 
      analyses, usefully describes the activities of the Plunge Protection Team. 
      Like Catherine Austin Fitts, Chris Sanders, and James Turk, these people 
      help explain that the financial markets are rigged, and the M-3 money 
      supply is a key tool in that practice. A good explanation of M-3 appears

      The Fed Announces it Will Hide M-3 To Keep You

      The Federal Reserve announced on November 10th, without explanation, 
      and I quote, "On 
      March 23, 2006, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System will 
      cease the publication of the M-3 monetary aggregate. It will also cease 
      publishing the following components: large-denomination time deposits, 
      RPs, and Eurodollars. The Board will continue to publish institutional 
      money market mutual funds as a memorandum item on this 
      release."
      Why? It's simple, really. So that the Plunge 
      Protection Team can hide its market manipulative, equity buying 
      activities. You see, one 
      of the key differences between M-2 (which it appears they will report) and 
      M-3, is repurchase agreements. This is perhaps the most obvious reporting 
      item where PPT market buying transactions show up. If they no longer 
      report this item, folks like us who monitor the growth of M-3 for clues as 
      to when the PPT is likely to buy the market, will have a harder time 
      reporting that fact before, or even as, the PPT buys. Investors will be 
      left more in the dark as to any secret rigging of the stock market. 
      Why now? Apparently 
      the Federal Reserve (a key member of the Working Group, a.k.a. Plunge 
      Protection Team) sees a coming need to buy - or facilitate the buying - of 
      markets, including the equity market, 
      incognito. Apparently, 
      they don't want investors knowing they are the ones doing the buying, 
      keeping prices up, or pushing them higher.
      We have continuously demonstrated the high 
      correlation between growth in M-3 and a rising stock market. We have also 
      demonstrated that when M-3 either declines or stays the same, the stock 
      market is prone to decline. The Fed knows its hypocritical 
      hyperinflationary expansion of the money supply recently has been 
      publicized by Fed watchers, and that 12 percent annualized growth in M-3 
      during a time when the Fed is raising short-term interest rates 
      aggressively, and jawboning a determination to stop inflation, is nothing 
      short of illogical, bizarre Fed behavior. The reason for the dichotomy is 
      quite simple. The Fed 
      can electronically print money and hand it over to the PPT to buy this 
      stock market. That has to be why all the extra M-3 growth over the past 
      several months.
      When we presented the Hindenburg Omen 
      analysis several weeks 
      ago, we warned that the PPT would likely buy this market to stop the 
      higher-than-normal probability that the market could crash. 
      Why did we warn that 
      the PPT would likely buy this market, and stop any potential crash? 
      Because of the M-3 numbers. We could see there was too much money being 
      created. We know that the way money gets into the economy is by the Fed 
      buying securities. Inflation is too much money (M-3) chasing goods. Well, 
      GDP (goods and services) is growing annually around 3.8 percent, yet M-3 
      was being pumped at three times that rate of growth. The difference had to 
      go somewhere. It did. Into markets, and very probably equity 
      markets.
      Why all the M-3? Undoubtedly because the PPT wanted to manipulate 
      markets at this time for reasons that are secret to everyone but them. We 
      are left to speculate as to those reasons. Is the economy closer to the brink than 
      anyone realizes? Or, is it politically expedient to goose markets? Do the 
      corporatist elitists want the big payback for backing the powers that be, 
      and insist upon a rising market into year end? Does Greenspan have an 
      all-encompassing, overriding desire to ensure his legacy by seeing the Dow 
      Industrials at an all-time high when he retires in 
      January? We aren't 
      privy to the reasons because the Master Planners do not believe in the 
      forthright flow of information. They believe that bad news cannot be 
      handled by the flock, that confidence must be boosted at all costs, even 
      if it entails manipulating the markets. Don't let the dead be honored, 
      instead sneaking them into Dover at night. Don't let the real jobless 
      figures be released, goose them with a phony birth/death adjustment, and 
      so on. Now we can kiss goodbye the most important Fed statistic computed. 
      Do you see what is happening folks? The Unpatriotic Act steals your civil 
      liberties. Three young girls from Kansas cannot board an Amtrak train to 
      New York unless they have a government issued photo ID. Not some 
      futuristic sci-fi plot. Now. It is called Corporatist Fascism. Next could 
      be freedom of speech. Then martial law. A computer chip under your skin. 
      Eventually, your right to vote. Then it is all over, game set and 
      match.
      Not a peep from Congress on the massacre of 
      M-3. Oh the figure 
      will be calculated. We just won't be allowed to know it anymore. Really 
      begs the question, once again, why? Obviously because the Master Planners 
      expect to have to increase the Money Supply very rapidly, to extraordinary 
      levels next year. 
      Obviously because they believe they are going to need to buy equity and 
      bond markets aggressively next year. Do they see a catastrophe coming that 
      will require hyperinflation to bail the U.S. out? Maybe. Every time we've 
      had a tragic event of mass proportions in 2005, the equity markets have 
      mysteriously risen out of the blue, sharply, taking shorts to the 
      cleaners. London bombing, Katrina, Rita, indictment of a top 
      administration official, etc... Yes, the Master Planners have learned that 
      they have the wherewithal and the gall to buy the markets - and get away 
      with it. They have learned that at those times when markets are at 
      greatest risk, when shorts have their positions lined up, a little S&P 
      futures index buying, a select few large cap stock buys, a leak to the 
      trading floor that their golden boy trader is buying is enough to send the 
      shorts scurrying for cover and buy the market. You see, the PPT only needs to kick start 
      the buying. Then the shorts buy. Then the Hedge Funds jump on the 
      bandwagon in search of that elusive trend - either up or down - deciding 
      it is going to be up, and keep the rally going. But by the time the Hedgies are buying, the PPT 
      is able to get out (and their Wall Street friends who took the risk and 
      bought with them early) at a nice profit, the shorts are out licking their 
      losses, and we watch a waning rally with low upside volume, low 
      advance/decline ratios, and a high number of New Lows - kinda like right 
      now.
      Yes, don't let the technical analysts and Fed 
      watchers know when the PPT is coming in. That will spook the shorts out 
      and the PPT needs the 
      shorts in. But the 
      March 2006 M-3 announcement makes one wonder. What in the world are they going to be up to 
      next year, that will require hiding the growth of money supply from the 
      U.S. citizenry who used to own this country, who elected this 
      outfit? War? A 
      big-time war? Martial law? Could it be as simple and corporatist as merely 
      wanting to drive equity markets higher so weak political ratings improve? 
      Maybe nothing to do with national security at all? These are the types of 
      questions every thinking man and woman needs to ask themselves and their 
      congressional representatives, given the Fed announcement. Remember, 
      the original mandate 
      of the Fed was to ensure a stable currency. Money. So now they aren't 
      going to release their measure of money to the 
      public? One thing 
      that can be agreed upon, based upon our technical analysis work, is that 
      we are sitting upon an incredibly fragile moment in the markets, one that 
      is in no shape to psychologically withstand a catastrophic event on its 
      own. It would thus appear that the Federal Reserve, in tandem with the 
      Master Planner Team, is taking steps to prepare for the worst, and 
      unfortunately that requires secrecy from the people. Secrecy about how 
      much money is going into the economy. Secrecy.
