The
Federal Reserve and the Federal government are both desperately
attempting to "manage perceptions" of the bogus "recovery" and
of their own legitimacy. Can "managed perceptions" replace
reality?

The
Federal Reserve is quite open about the ultimate purpose of all
its machinations:
to "manage perceptions" so the citizenry believe the "recovery"
is real. The Fed reckons that belief will cause people to start
a new debt-consumption orgy that will fuel a self-reinforcing
cycle of expansion.

Put another way: the Fed is trying to induce a reanimation of
"animal spirits,"
i.e. a restored faith in future prosperity that inspires
households to load up on more debt and buy, buy, buy.

The difference between blatant propaganda and "managing
perceptions" is... well, there isn't any.
The Fed and Federal machinery are both engaged in a massive
propaganda campaign to obscure the gargantuan risks implicit in
their various trillions-dollar campaigns to mask systemic
failure and risk and construct a facade of normalcy and
"recovery."

The U.S. economy is "recovering" like a drunk "recovers" by
chugging half a bottle of rotgut:
the terror of reality is replaced by the warm glow of a new
high. The terrible reality is the U.S. economy has been hollowed
out by financialization and the dishonesty, fraud and corruption
that are the essential components of financialization--a process
that invariably leads to a concentration of wealth and power.

This concentration of capital and power then creates more
incentives for fraud and corruption, which then reinforces the
forces of financialization and so on in a self-reinforcing

The Department of Truth, a.k.a. the Ministry of Propaganda,
issues a stream of massaged/manipulated data to support the
mind-bending "perception" that the economy is in "a real
recovery."
Does anyone outside the lapdog mainstream media take the bogus
employment statistics seriously? It's so painfully obvious that
the "headline unemployment number" is manipulated via removing
millions of people from the workforce, and removing the
unemployed from the statistical ledger once their benefits
expire.

The nation's GDP is a similar concoction of smoke and mirrors.
Let's see: the Federal government borrows $1.6 trillion a year
and transfers much of it to individuals, where it is then
counted as "income."

So if I borrow $50,000 and "pay it to myself," then my $50,000 a
year income just doubles to $100,000! Who knew prosperity could
be this easy?
The MSM sycophants, toadies and aparatchiks on both sides of the
political spectrum (basically two sides of the same Imperial
piece of paper) wonder why "job growth" is so weak--could it
have anything to do with the actual real economy being so weak
that only $5 trillion in borrowed Federal money and another $2
trillion in Fed money has kept the economy from imploding?

What with the bogus "recovery," a couple of hot wars and an
utterly dysfunctional and corrupt political system, the Ministry
of Propaganda has been quite busy of late.
Housing has bottomed--once again, for the third time since 2008.
And we really really really are exiting Afghanistan and
Iraq--soon--please ignore those permanent bases and proxy
armies.

It doesn't matter if the Fed or Federal government
apparatchiks really believe that managed perceptions can replace
reality: they have no choice but to hope perception can
become reality. Conventional economists in the Keynesian model
have no explanation of what fires "animal spirits"--it is a
peculiar mix of faith, trust, hope and confidence.

In other words, faith in the legitimacy of the institutions
which report on the economy and in those institutions on which
the economy depends.
Unfortunately, all these institutions are in tatters: all are in
various stages of delegitimization: the Federal oversight
agencies, the Fed, Congress, the Executive Branch, the ratings
agencies, the financial sector, and of course the lapdog
mainstream media.

I once saw a yellowed newspaper from Thanksgiving, 1935. the
headlines proclaimed "growth has returned and the worst is
over."
It was all lies, of course, mere propaganda issued in the abject
fear that the populace might become restless if the nation's
institutions confirmed what people could see with their own
eyes.

When
the current stock market bubble pops, the last shreds of the
Fed's legitimacy will be blown away.
Strip away all the distractions, and the Fed's entire campaign
to "restore confidence" and "animal spirits" so that the
"recovery" magically becomes "self-sustaining" is based on one
thing, and only one thing: the current stock market rally.

The equities rally is the only metric of "success" the Fed can
point to that isn't risible.
Once the rally implodes, so too does whatever remains of the
legitimacy of the Fed and the Federal agencies which have aided
and abetted the Fed's unprecedented propaganda campaign to
replace economic reality with happy-happy "managed perceptions."

The "news" is always good, because who knows what the people
might do if the flimsy official facades sway in the breeze of
truth and then collapse in a heap?
They might demand new leadership and systemic changes that would
disrupt the cozy Status Quo partnership of cartel-crony
Capitalism, Wall Street and the Central State fiefdoms.
