Doug Casey: “This is Going to be One for the Record Books”
Doug Casey: “This is Going to be One for the Record Books” Just because society experiences turmoil doesn’t mean your personal life has to. And a depression doesn’t have to be depressing. Most of the real wealth in the world will still exist—it will just change ownership. What is a depression? We’re now at the […]
The Frontlines in the War on Cash
The Frontlines in the War on Cash Let’s face it, many forces are pushing for the abolition of – or at least serious restrictions on – cash. Many businesses hate cash, because cash transactions take longer to process, and large quantities of cash pose a security risk. If you travel by air, you’ve experienced this […]
Brace Yourself: The Next Epic Collapse Could Be Weeks Away
Brace Yourself: The Next Epic Collapse Could Be Weeks Away There wasn’t a group of people more wrong about the 2008 financial crisis than those at the Federal Reserve. Mere months before the disaster hit in earnest, the nation’s highest economic and financial officials were vocal that there was nothing to worry about. Most memorable of these […]
“Toto, I Don’t Think We’re in Kansas Anymore”
“Toto, I Don’t Think We’re in Kansas Anymore” Recently, an American colleague commented to me, “We no longer live in a democracy but a dictatorship disguised as a democracy.” Is he correct? Well, a dictatorship may be defined as “a form of government in which absolute authority is exercised by a dictator.” The US today […]
Crossing Borders with Gold and Silver Coins
Crossing Borders with Gold and Silver Coins It’s well-known that you have to make a declaration if you physically transport $10,000 or more in cash or monetary instruments in or out of the US, or almost any other country; governments collude on these things, often informally. Gold has always been in something of a twilight […]
The French Revolution (The Sequel)
The French Revolution (The Sequel) Here we have an eighteenth century depiction of two-thirds of the motto of the French Revolution – Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité, or “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.” It’s significant that Karl Marx was inspired by the French Revolution to form his concept of a utopian society. He envisioned a worldwide revolution in which […]
Quantitative Brainwashing
Quantitative Brainwashing We’re all familiar with the term, “quantitative easing.” It’s described as meaning, “A monetary policy in which a central bank purchases government securities or other securities from the market in order to lower interest rates and increase the money supply.” Well, that sounds reasonable… even beneficial. But, unfortunately, that’s not really the whole […]
This Is How the “Everything Bubble” Will End
This Is How the “Everything Bubble” Will End Subscribe to International Man FacebookTwitterGoogle+ I think there’s a very high chance of a stock market crash of historic proportions before the end of Trump’s first term. That’s because the Federal Reserve’s current rate-hiking cycle, which started in 2015, is set to pop “the everything bubble.” I’ll […]
How to Survive the “Deep State”
How to Survive the “Deep State” Almost everyone looks for a political solution to problems. However, once a Deep State situation has taken over, only a revolution or a dictatorship can turn it around, and probably only in a small country. Maybe you’re thinking you should get behind somebody like Ron Paul (I didn’t say […]
It’s Not the End of the World
It’s Not the End of the World Periodically, I’ll encounter someone who has read one of my essays and has decided not to pursue them further, stating, “You’re one of those ‘End of the world’ guys. I can’t be bothered reading the writings of someone who thinks we’re all doomed. I have a more positive […]
Shining a Light on the Sociopaths in Politics
Shining a Light on the Sociopaths in Politics There are at least seven characteristics 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 totally […]
The Future of Privacy
The Future of Privacy Roughly one hundred years ago, the people who “ran things,” – the drivers behind governments, big business and banking – formulated a concept which became known by a number of names, but, predominantly, as the “New World Order.” The concept was to put an end to unnecessary competition and warfare and […]
The Great Depression II
The Great Depression II Whenever a movie has been a huge hit, the film industry tries to follow it up by doing a sequel. The sequel is almost invariably far more costly, as there’s the anticipation by those who create it that it will be an even bigger blockbuster than the original. The Great Depression […]
Professional Wrestling and the Media
Professional Wrestling and the Media As a boy, I was quite non-violent, but I confess to having been fascinated with professional wrestling. For one hour, every Saturday morning, I’d watch Yukon Eric, Haystack Calhoun and Killer Kowalski attack each other in the ring in what was called, “professional wrestling.” Of course, even as a boy, […]
Police State in Slo-Mo
Police State in Slo-Mo For many years, I’ve forecasted that the US will evolve into a police state; that it will begin slowly; then as more and more freedoms are removed, the creation of the police state will accelerate. We’re now seeing that acceleration, as more and more Americans are detained, questioned, and having their […]
