Where There’s Smoke, There’s Tungsten

In April of A.D. 2004, the Rothschild Banks left the gold commodity market.  Bill Murphy of the Gold Anti-Trust Action committee (GATA) speculated:  “Why is Rothschild leaving the gold business at this time?  . . . something is amiss.  They know a big gold scandal is coming and they want no part of it.”

The End of the “Multiplier Effect”?

Legendary investor/speculator George Soros had a fairly simple investment strategy:  Find the investment “story” whose premise is false . . . and bet against it.  In other words, if the business model (“story”) for a particular energy company were based on the premise that “global warming” is real—when, in fact, “global warming” was false—then bet [...]

Banks Set Price of Gold at $1,275?

For over a decade, people at the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) have claimed that the gold commodity markets were being manipulated.  This manipulation was alleged to at least partially involve the selling of non-existent “paper” gold.

Happy Days or Black Tuesday?

A headline in Thursday’s New York Times reported, “U.S. Economy Began to Grow Again in 3rd Quarter–The United States has emerged from the longest economic contraction since World War II.”

The Dollar’s Demise

The U.S. dollar has been the world’s reserve currency since World War II.
In March, China (and then Russia) openly attacked the greenback, calling for the dollar to be replaced as the world’s reserve currency. This call by China is particularly disturbing since China holds more U.S. debt than any other country—about $1.3 trillion—and the further [...]

Buying Gold Kills the FED & NWO.

Benjamin Fulford writes in both Japanese and English on political and economic issues. He’s an intelligent man.  Still, it’s sometimes hard to tell if Mr. Fulford has the gift of prophecy or is simply a “loose cannon”.   Mr. Fulford has recently written a couple of commentaries that predict the Federal Reserve could cease to exist [...]

Foreclosures Without Mortgages

Proverbs 13:22 warns that “ . . . the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.” I won’t say this verse describes what’s actually happening with regard to modern mortgage law, but there’s enough of a resemblance to make me wonder.

An Economy of Addiction

When it comes to addictive drugs, most people would be surprised to learn that nicotine (common tobacco) is more quickly addictive than heroin, morphine or crack.  But there’s another drug that even more addictive than nicotine:  free money.
Oooo, we love that free money, don’t we?  More than heroin, coke, crack, tobacco, alcohol, or even ice [...]
