Today
John Embry told King World News that what is happening in Cyrpus is
just a prelude to a more catastrophic day when the financial system
grinds to a halt. He says the Cyprus disaster has frightened people all
around the world and things will only get worse from here. Below is
what Embry, who is chief investment strategist at Sprott Asset
Management, had to say regarding this ongoing crisis: 
Similarly to yesterday's “Big Stock”, VVUS has been trending sideways
for the last (5) months. As the stock has bounced along, it has formed a
couple of key price levels to watch. The first is the $10 level (blue)
that has already acted as support on several occasions. The other is the
$12 level (red) that VVUS is currently pulling away from.

Reuters is reporting this morning comments from the Dutch Finance Minister, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who by the way heads up the group of European Finance Ministers, to the effect that the “solution” in Cypress is a “new template” to address future banking problems in the Euro area.
I want you readers, particularly those of you in the Eurozone, to wrap your heads around this and consider the brazen audacity displayed by these people. What he is saying is that bank savings deposits no longer effectively belong to you the savers. They belong to the state and the state will confiscate them whenever it is deemed to be in that state’s best interests.
If this does not send shock waves throughout the system and instill fear in individuals throughout the Eurozone, then there is no hope for any such people. Normal, rational, sane, thinking individuals will immediately recognize this for what it is; a complete reversal of the traditional role of banking in which banks makes loans to depositors and other individuals. Now, depositors are in effect making loans to banks. Yet even that is not an apt comparison for in the case of a loan, one usually expects to receive back the amount loaned plus interest. In this case, the depositors are having their money forcibly extracted from them with no hope of ever seeing it again and having that money used to bail out the banks instead! I never believed I would EVER witness this in my life and yet here it is. What is even worse is the blasé attitude displayed by the monetary authorities. Just who in the hell do these people think that they are?
