Abstract: The success over the years in reducing inflation and, consequently, the average level of nominal interest rates has increased the likelihood that the nominal policy interest rate may become constrained by the zero lower bound.

When that happens, a central bank can no longer stimulate aggregate demand by further interest-rate reductions and must rely on “non-standard” policy alternatives. To assess the potential effectiveness of such policies, we analyze the behavior of selected asset prices over short periods
surrounding central bank statements or other types of financial or economic news and estimate “no-arbitrage” models of the term structure for the United States and Japan.

There is some evidence that central bank communications can help to shape public expectations of future policy actions and that asset purchases in large volume by a central bank would be able to affect the price or yield of the targeted asset.

2. LAPD Officer receives warning of Mid September 2008 Market Crash, followed by Feb 2009 Failure of US government from a relative who is high level US Military... Martial Law to be initiated at appropriate time as cities run out of food, and Halliburton Concentration camps are prepared... It cannot be stressed enough that it is VERY WISE to simply treat this warning as a coming reality and prepare accordingly. Do recall that ‘just in time inventories’ faced against a ‘food run’ would clean shelves off of food in the major cities in a matter of hours. People are not stupid everybody knows the system is tottering, but there is always a large portion of the population that will always ‘wait for the herd to bolt’ before taking action.

When the herd bolts its too late. You have to learn to psychologically treat this as a reality now, and prepare. A large portion of the population waits for the media to tell them to panic when the media ‘helps it along’ by reporting that shelves are being cleaned out 1 week after the coming ‘black Monday or black Tuesday’ or whatever it becomes... Sep 15th is a Monday.

Also this one by aravoth:

Here is the posting take what you will of it.

“Hi all, This might be the last thing I ever post on here but I need to warn you all. I have been with LAPD for a while and have learned a lot of things.

One of them is to be a little more independent. Don’t put 100 % faith in other humans to take care of you. And yes that means the government

2. Well because things have gotten so bad in LA (Officers being shot at up 39 % in 2007) I decided to move to Idaho. And I love it by the way.

Anyway what I’m going to say might shock you or even scare you, but please understand that fear does nothing but makes things worse kinda like stress. So instead of worrying do something to fix it. Remember there’s no problems only solutions.

This morning I got a call from my uncle who is very high up in the military and he told me to leave the city now. I hardly ever talk to him so he was unaware that I had already left LA.

But he seemed very concerned but refused to tell me why. After about 20 minutes he told me the very basics. The first thing he said was to buy as much can food and water as possible. The second was to stock up on ammo. I have already stacked up on ammo because I knew it would become very expensive later and in LA there was a 1 year wait for .223 bullets for my AR15.

But I was still very confused as to why he’s calling out of the blue and telling me these things. Well what he said next is something the American people aren’t suppose to know. He told me that there is an actual plan as to when the economy will completely crash.

As of right now he said it will happen in the middle of sept of this year. Also he said that our Government will crash in Feb of 2009.

He said that Mexico and Canada will merge with us and that a new dollar called the Amero is going to replace the dollar. But the most scary thing is what he told me he’s been doing for the past couple of years.

He’s been overseeing the construction of Prison Camps being built all through out America. He said a Private company called Haliburton is building them.

He told me that 1 camp in Alaska can hold 2 million people and there’s almost 1000 camps in the USA. ( not including the ones underground) He also said that these will be used when they declare Martial Law.

There’s some more things but I promised him I would never repeat them. But just knowing that this could even be possible makes me say to myself “ why not buy an extra 20 or 30 bucks of food I can store” each time I go shopping. I had about 2 weeks worth because in California you never know when that next big earthquake can hit not to mention the last year and a half we have been training on how to handle food riots in LA.( By the way the first step in the LAPD process is to stand back and observe)

Original source of the above is no longer working . . . interestingly.

Here’s a link to some other financial blog about such:

Also by aravoth:

The above was copy and pasted from another forum I’m active on. What scares me about it, is that it’s not the first time I heard it. And not from internet message boards either. Most of the time it is easy to write these kinds of things off. After Monday though.... knowing what Rex 84 is, Knowing that directive 51 is there, knowing what it does, and knowing that it will remain there for the next administration.... having seen an empty prison in the middle of no-where, knowing what our economy is doing......Whatever is going on, we need to figure it out, and we need to figure it out now.

As is this one:

I thought it was all hooey until Monday, I actually marked the date on my kitchen calendar, just so could laugh at that guy. I would say that he had the last laugh, but I don’t think he’s laughing at all, infact he hasn’t been heard from since September 7th....

He went by the name xr500final if that helps at all.

THIS FROM THE WEBOT ANALYSIS FOLKS found on the ATS thread at the top on p 9:

...I mention this as extremely important stuff because 1) we have our ‘hot date’ from the predictive linguistics team showing a ‘prequel;’ event around September 27th and then a big ‘wham’ along about October 7th...

The conversation with Cliff of HalfPastHuman was also quite sobering. “Remember our “October Event” is supposed to be 20% terra entity, 40% military, and 40% economic?” he began...

“Well, we’re not seeing much of anything out of the ordinary from the data stream coming in, which seems to shade toward a sudden appearance of something big in the military arena.”

Not comforting. Because that’s how a sudden showdown with Russia over our recent occupancy of the Black Sea and a quick/overwhelming Russia hit, or a domestic terrorist event would play out. And yes, the body count of 2.2 million or 22-million is still floating about - it’s just a matter of who and where? We’ll pass on anything that comes into focus...

Electronic payrolls failing at BAC according to this lawyer....could this be true?

Means I don’t get paid right now. My firm is good for it - as in we are a VERY prosperous lawfirm, but BAC and it’s electronic clearing doesn’t have $$ to make electronic deposits into people’s accounts.

Also on p 9 . . . another thought-provoking post by aravoth:

This is how I see it playing out..............

With the recent bailouts government debt has increased dramatically. Fannie and Freddie added 5.5 trillion to the national debt in a single weekend. We just bailed out AIG, who was insuring the bigger banks that went under, Government(you and me) now has an 80% stake in AIG. When they have to pay out deposits it’ll be a lot more than 85 billion. Wa Mu is going to go down, and it’s going to clean out the FDIC in the process. After that, if any other banks fail, they will not be able to cover the insured amounts.

Bank of America just absorbed Merrill Lynch, but they haven’t even completed thier merger with Countrywide. Countrywide was in deep ****, so BoA took all that bad debt, and now they took on more? Doesn’t make any sense to do that. Unless Bank of America Knows they are screwed, and they are trying to make themselves as large as possible, that way when they go down, the FED will be forced to bail them out. Seriously, you don’t take on that many bad assets without some kind of assurance from the Treasury, or the fed.

BoA will go in time, that’ll will be the proverbial nail in the coffin. With chaos in the street, and Financials in a frenzy, world leaders will grow tired of our BS. And they will start to drop dollar denominated assets, the dollar will loose it’s reserve currency status, they will dump their dollar holdings, and when all that money finally makes it’s way back here it will hyper inflate the currency. So not only will alot of people be homeless and jobless, but a candy bar will cost you 50 bucks.

What can the government do? Nothing, they started this mess. This began decades ago. They will try to stop it though, which leads to “the option” as I see it.

One of two choices the US Government has at this point.

1#Default, loose our credit rating, currency hyper inflates, government finally goes broke, people loose there government entitlements. The IMF takes over, and we get to experience what we’ve been doing to third world countries for a while, chaos ensues for a few months, then people stop bitching, get up, and start providing for themselves.

2. The Feds refuse to let the Dollar loose it’s reserve status, but they have no financial means of forcing the world to accept dollars anymore, so the only option is to Force countries at the barrel of a gun. You don’t have to go all over the world to do this, you just have to target the major energy suppliers. More specifically, oil producers. As long as the world has to use Dollars to buy a barrel of oil, it will retain it’s dominance. Kinda put our wars in the middle east in perspective now eh?

Regarding your question about the Rise of a “Hitler” in the US? What makes you think a young charismatic, revolutionary, well spoken and highly motivated Orator promising a departure from the status quo isn’t already here?
