Gold, Orange Juice, and ‘Tang’

Just as savvy beverage-drinkers will inevitably shun excessively diluted Tang, eventually our deluded masses will figure out the bankers’ paper scam — and react accordingly. There is a very precise name for this economic phenomenon: hyperinflation, where paper fiat currencies go to zero.

Interview with Charles Savoie on TPTB of Silver Manipulation

Charles links a relatively small but extremely powerful group of individuals (and often their descendants) together through two common “threads”: their propensity for actions which were extremely detrimental to the silver market and/or the holders of silver; and their membership in a little-known organization which they have called “The Pilgrims”.

Silver: The People’s Money

Lacking a gold standard and lacking any financial regulation of these multinational banks, as individuals we have been left with absolutely no recourse but to “insure” our wealth by converting it to silver.

U.S. Faces Much Worse ‘Japanization’

An amount of liquidity equivalent to roughly ¼ of the entire global economy has been pumped into Wall Street to prevent the banksters’ fraud-saturated bubbles from deflating. To refer to this as a “post-bubble economy” is like referring to the nation of Japan as being “post-Fukushima” the day after the first meltdown.

Preemptive Strike Against Precious Metals Nears End

While we all know never to say “never” in this market, it appears that the latest operation has neared its expiry date. Put another way, it does not appear feasible that the investment community could remain “witless” enough not to fathom the impact of more, massive money-printing.

Economic Justice Equals Prosperity

The Occupy Wall Street movement is the first, tentative step in a process which 2,000 years of history teaches us is absolutely inevitable.

It is only in a marketplace where the vast majority of participants are ignorant about these disclaimers that the reaction of the U.S. government is rationale…

The Ratings Agencies, Part I: Experts or Charlatans?

… supposedly our legal systems don’t allow a group of people to call themselves “experts” when they are pocketing fat fees for their analysis/assessment of the quality of complex financial products; and then to say “Just kidding.

Why 2011 Is Not 2008

With many investors now having descended back to full-fledged “panic mode”, we explain why 2011 could never be another event like the Crash of ’08, as the nature of any such crash would be remarkably different.
