Inflation Falls To 4.2% - Where's The Hyperinflation, Then?

The main cause of hyperinflation is a massive and rapid increase in the amount of money which is not supported by growth in the output of goods and services. The UK Column has been warning for a number of years now that we are staring hyperinflation in the face. So where is it?

It's there.

It's there in the half trillion Euros pumped into an already dead European financial system at Christmas by the European Central Bank. It's there in the half trillion Euros that the ECB is going to pump in next month. It's there in the trillions upon trillions of dollars pumped into the system by the Fed, and the hundreds of billions of pounds pumped into system by the Bank of England.

Bizarre: The Anti-EU Blogger Who Despises National Banking

In her recent Daily Mail blog article on the topic of Declan Ganley’s call for a United States of Europe, based on the precise formulation set out on the US Federal Constitution, and explicitly based on Hamiltonian national banking, ME Synon betrays a violently anti-federalist outlook which, while entirely appropriate with reference to the anti-republican corporate kleptocracy that animates the European Union, simply replays the age old republican vs federalist dispute which plagued the founding fathers in the early years of US Independence.

Inter-Alpha Group Banks - Hoarding ECB Hyperinflationary Bailout

On the 22nd December last year, the European Central Bank began lending some new money. 523 European banks borrowed €489 billion in one day.

The money was lent at 1% over three years. This was the biggest infusion of hyperinflationary credit by the ECB ever, and represents 5% of the GDP of the whole European Union. In one day.

The move was part of the ECB's package of measures intended to "stabilise" financial markets. The Association of German Banks said at the time that the cash injection would "decisively improve" the liquidity of European Banks, and help ward off potential credit shortages in the Euro zone.

So, has it achieved its objective?

Rise Of The Kleptocrats

The Federal Reserve Bank's announcement of QE2, the second round of American Quantitative Easing, on the 3rd of November, caused a tidal wave of funny money to hit the markets as "investors" decided to place their bets on stocks and commodities. Stock markets around the world climbed by nearly 2% on Thursday, oil broke through $87 a barrel, and a range of other commodities also saw dramatic price increases.

While The World Shouts "Insane!", The City Of London Shouts "Not Enough!"

While government officials from around the world howl in anguish over the Fed's decision, the City of London feels a mere $600 billion of funny money is "timid."

But as is typical of politicians who are, in reality, bought and paid for by City of London interests, none of their protests included any real alternative to the continued bailout.
