Youtube just banned this video here in the U.S. It is an angry European in Japan, who shows that the media is distracting the people with senseless TV shows instead of telling them what is really going on with the nuclear power meltdown. He claims they are just told to stay in their houses.

News stories out of Japan focus mainly on the Nukushima nuclear power complex and very little about the world economic and finincial effects.
Quantitative Easing QE is going global.
Economic fallout is greatest with the U.S. and Japan.
Notice the all important U.S. dollar index falling below 76.
Witness the ending of the Yen carry trade as Japan will be forced to sell U.S. Treasurys.
The US Fed must monetize these US Treasurys or intrest rates will start going up and kill what fragel recovery we have.
An unintended consequence may be a popping of the US TBond asset bubble.
Japan now sits at a high risk of a hyper-inflation.
Since the Japanese Debt/GDP ratio sits at over 200% They will have to monitize there debt so as to not raise interest rates.

WHY HYPERINFLATION?

There is a difference between inflation and hyperinflation. Inflation is caused by stimulus spending and deficit spending such as quanitive easing
QE. When a government can't borrow and tax revenues are falling this causes severe inflation. You run the risk of hyperinflation when instead of raising interest rates to pay for the stimulus and deficit spending you instead buy your own bonds as we are doing with QE. At some point you will need a positive interest rate on your bonds to attract investment.
A positive interest rate would be the true rate of inflation plus 3% to 5%.
So what is the true rate of inflation?
The CPI numbers are pure fiction. I belive the correct number is closer to 9%.
As you can see with a number like 9% plus 3to5% we face a severe challange and will hyperinflate with more QE instead of raising interest rates.
