Bernanke's Panic:

In this briefing you'll discover how to protect yourself before it's too late! Including:

• Why the real CPI rate is closer to 15 percent than the 2.4 percent the government is telling you.
• Why our enemies are controlling America's financial future — and YOUR financial future. Discover the one investment you must dump now!
• Commodity prices are in a long-term bull market. We show you our favorite strategy for buying the dips along the way and how to pocket a fortune if you play it right.
• We feel a global recession is in the cards. Here's how to position yourself now for monster profits before the panic headlines begin.

PLUS, why Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's blunder could be the biggest opportunity of the last decade for savvy investors.

Dear Newsmax Reader,

Our enemies are controlling America's financial future — and your financial future, if you are invested in dollars and the U.S. economy.

It's a worrisome thought, but a real one.

Nearly 70 percent of global currency reserves are held by developing countries. The irony is that the three countries in the world adding reserves the fastest, and thus buying the most U.S. debt now are China, Saudi Arabia, and Russia — none of them democracies. Venezuela and Iran — two countries seeking to undermine the U.S. are close behind.

We are increasingly counting on a group of creditors who are not our closest friends but have a bigger and bigger stake in America.

According to a Wall Street Journal article, economists are increasingly concerned that China or another American rival could someday use its huge holdings of U.S. debt as a geopolitical weapon — regardless of the harm it would cause to its own economy.

The candid discussion about the state of the U.S. currency should have set off many alarm bells.

The facts and concerns laid out in the Journal article offer an understanding of the huge predicament facing the Federal Reserve and its chairman, Ben Bernanke.

Bernanke continues to emphasize that "inflation" is the key reason for keeping interest rates high.

We at Financial Intelligence Report have argued that such claims about inflation are nothing more than political posturing. Both Bernanke and Greenspan have been hiding behind the smokescreen of "incipient inflation."

Contrary to what Bernanke says, he, the federal government, and politicians love insidious inflation. It is the easiest political way out of the massive private and public debt that hangs over the U.S. economy like an open noose.

When former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan's term in office expired, many people said: "There goes a legend." Maybe the better expression was: "Here comes the spin."

The economic "recovery" of the past several years has been almost entirely based on a residential housing boom ignited by Greenspan's low rates. The magic worked for awhile, but what does the Fed do next?

Find out the surprising truth. Go Here Now.

No doubt, the federal government and the central bank love lying about the official inflation rate because the currency supply can be inflated without the additional burden of exorbitant increases in social spending.

Can Bernanke Meet the Challenge?

Whatever you think of Greenspan, he is history now.

That became official on Feb. 1, 2005, when President George Bush swore in Ben Bernanke as his replacement. And people on Wall Street — as well as Main Street — who revered Greenspan for almost two decades began speculating on how the Fed head would fill his seat.

Most experts still agree that the job ahead won't be easy. Consider that in the first year or so, Bernanke's Fed has had to grapple with:

• A record $856.7 billion account deficit and a $242 billion budget deficit.
• The bursting of the real estate bubble in nearly all regions of the country.
• A population that has virtually stopped saving and started borrowing like it never has in the past.

Bernanke has been focused on these and other issues — setting sound monetary policy that's heavy on growth and low on inflation.

The centerpiece of his plan is creating a transparent Federal Reserve, whereas Greenspan moved with stealth. Still, Bernanke is steadfast in his belief that the Fed should make its moves abundantly clear to stakeholders, stay focused on finances and interest rates (instead of debts and deficits), and speak a language that the markets can understand without need for a translator.

Bernanke has been quoted as saying that "fresh air is good for the Federal Reserve." And the best way he sees to achieve it involves:

• Setting inflation targets.
• Leaving politics up to the politicians.
• Depersonalizing monetary policy.
• Communicating as clearly as possible about the Fed's intentions.

In our issue of Financial Intelligence Report we give investors the inside story on the Fed chairman and show you how to protect your wealth — and profit — from today's currency crisis. To access this issue, go here now.
