-- unemployment is increasing, not decreasing, accurate measures putting it over 20%, not the bogus Labor Department figures, hiding the real level;


-- the "warning signs can't be missed, they are all around (us); don't be fooled by smoke and mirrors; stick with reality," a dark one Wall Street and Washington engineered and won't explain;


-- as a result, stock and commodity prices are fading; "bonds could be topping out;"
