“All Yours Janet”: JPM Warns Fed About Using “Arguably Flawed Statistics” – 11 January 2014

The December jobs report was an ugly mix of slowing employment growth and disappointing labor supply. JPMorgan’s Mike Feroli doesn’t mix his words in his brief report on today’s ugly jobs data. While other ‘economists’ proclaimed we should “ignore it” or blamed it on the weather, Feroli notes for example, “It’s hard to see how the weather — or anything else — was to blame for the 25,000 decrease in employment of accountants.” But it his comments for the Fed that are most concerning as he worries, “the forward guidance decision could be even more difficult than the tapering call… lowering the unemployment threshold further would be doubling down on predicating policy on an arguably flawed statistic.”

DealBook

By WILLIAM ALDEN

In the world of private equity, it may help to be big.

Half of all capital raised for private equity buyouts in 2013 went to the biggest funds, according to data released on Friday by Preqin, a research firm based in London.

US Police Declare ‘Emergency’ Martial Law – 11 January 2014

Under the guise of a “weather emergency,” nearly 40% of the US was put under 24-hour restriction, facing arrest for violation.

This may seem like a “minor thing.”  It wasn’t.  We will deal only with this in the very real light it should be seen in: an attack on civil liberties.  As for those within the military who have identified the recent “Arctic vortex” as a test of a United States Air Force weather management system due to come online in 2030, such a discussion would violate tenets of national security and have no place in the public sector.

Steve Lendman – Rich Congress, Poor America – 11 January 2014

The Center for Responsive Politics (CRP) calls itself “the nation’s premier research group tracking money in US politics and its (corrosive) effect on elections and public policy.”

“Nonpartisan, independent and nonprofit, the organization aims to create a more educated voter, an involved citizenry, and a more transparent and responsive government.”

Doing so remains a major uphill struggle. It shows virtually no signs of success. Conditions are worse than ever in modern times. Washington’s political establishment is ruthless, corrupt and lawless.

ZeroHedge – Tyler Durden – Irish Finance Ministry Reveals It Has Lost Banking Crisis Files – 11 January 2014

We are sure there is a joke in here somewhere but it is no laughing matter. Following a request for copies of 8 documents  of correspondence between Ireland’s (former) finance minister and the nations’ largest bank executives, the Irish minstry of finance has been forced to admit that it cannot find two out of the eight. The documents, previously 100% redacted, raises questions as to whether other documents have gone ‘missing’. As RTE reports, the Department of Finance said it had carried out a widespread search for the documents and it was not clear why the original versions could not be located. Those darn leprechauns… We are sure, however, it has nothing to do with the Irish banks “picking bailout numbers out of their arses.”
