The Growing Threat of the Police State Doug Casey, Jeff Thomas, and Nick Giambruno recently discussed a critical topic—the rise of a police state in the former “free” world.

Doug Casey on the End of Western Civilization
Doug Casey on the End of Western Civilization Nick Giambruno: The decline of Western Civilization is on a lot of people’s minds. Let’s talk about this trend.

How Will You Cope With A Lower Standard of Living?
How Will You Cope With A Lower Standard of Living? The forces are mounting that will eventually overwhelm most Americans and send their standard of living to unknown depths.

Making the Chicken Run
Making the Chicken Run “Making the chicken run” is what Rhodesians used to say about neighbors who packed up and got out during the ’60s and ’70s, before the place became Zimbabwe. It was considered “unpatriotic” to leave Rhodesia. But it was genuinely idiotic not to. I’ve written many times about the importance of internationalizing […]

Doug Casey Warns: “It’s The Next Stage Of The Greater Depression… The Economy Is Going To Be Very, Very Bad” While President Obama took credit this weekend for saving the world economy from a global depression and stock markets are hovering around all-time highs, not everyone is convinced that central bank policy and government involvement in […]

Doug Casey’s Top Five Reasons Not to Vote
Doug Casey’s Top Five Reasons Not to Vote Democracy is vastly overrated. It’s not like the consensus of a bunch of friends agreeing to see the same movie. Most often, it boils down to a kinder and gentler variety of mob rule, dressed in a coat and tie. The essence of positive values like personal […]
Doug Casey Shines a Light on the Sociopaths in Politics
Doug Casey Shines a Light on the Sociopaths in Politics There are seven characteristics I can think of that define a sociopath, although I’m sure the list could be extended: Sociopaths completely lack a conscience or any capacity for real regret about hurting people. Although they pretend the opposite. Sociopaths put their own desires and wants on a […]
Debunking Anti-Gold Propaganda
Debunking Anti-Gold Propaganda A meme is now circulating that gold is the investment equivalent of a pet rock, and that the smart investor should sell gold, and buy stocks. That’s a ridiculous notion. In fact, if you believe in buying low and selling high, this is the time to buy gold, and sell stocks. It […]
Money As the Greater Depression Deepens

Without it, much of what we say may seem capricious or outlandish, crazy ideas readers tolerate […]
The Deep State
The Deep State I’d like to address some aspects of the Greater Depression in this essay. I’m here to tell you that the inevitable became reality in 2008. We’ve had an interlude over the last few years financed by trillions of new currency units. However, the economic clock on the wall is reading the same […]

Three Reasons Why the U.S. Government Should Default on Its Debt Today The overleveraging of the U.S. federal, state, and local governments, some corporations, and consumers is well known. This has long been the case, and most people are bored by the topic. If debt is a problem, it has been manageable for so long […]
