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 […]
Ron Paul Says to Watch the Petrodollar
Ron Paul Says to Watch the Petrodollar The chaos that one day will ensue from our 35-year experiment with worldwide fiat money will require a return to money of real value. We will know that day is approaching when oil-producing countries demand gold, or its equivalent, for their oil rather than dollars or euros. […]
The International War on Cash
The International War on Cash Back in 2008, I began warning of increasing capital controls that we would see in the future, as a component in the decline of Western economies (Western in the broad sense, including Japan, Australia, etc.) Along the way, it occurred to me that, at some point, governments might collectively attempt […]
Are Governments Running Out of Candy?
Are Governments Running Out of Candy? By now, many readers will have seen the popular American YouTube video by Mark Dice in which he stands on a city sidewalk and offers passers-by a free gift.They may choose between a 10-ounce silver bar or a large Hershey’s candy bar. Each taker chooses the candy – most […]
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 […]
Weimar Greece – The Effects of a Currency Collapse
Weimar Greece – The Effects of a Currency Collapse Cash is a scarce commodity in Greece. In June, Greek banks declared a surprise limitation on how much could be withdrawn from an account. At present, the government still limits the cash withdrawals of Greeks. And, of course, this is just the most recent in a […]
Winning, but Losing, at the Penny-Pitch: A Look at the Coming Collapse of the European Union
Winning, but Losing, at the Penny-Pitch: A Look at the Coming Collapse of the European Union When I was a boy, a carnival would come through town annually, with a Ferris wheel, a merry-go-round and, of course, a midway: rows of makeshift stalls where fairgoers might win a prize by throwing a ball at weighted […]
Money As the Greater Depression Deepens
Money As the Greater Depression Deepens We talk a lot in these pages about what to do with one’s money, but I question whether most subscribers (forget about the public at large) have an adequate grasp of the basics. Without it, much of what we say may seem capricious or outlandish, crazy ideas readers tolerate […]
Schadenfreude – How the US Is Helping China Create a New Financial Order
Schadenfreude – How the US Is Helping China Create a New Financial Order Here we have an image of a Chinese banknote, featuring Chairman Mao, followed by a seemingly incongruous German word – schadenfreude. Is there an error here? Happily, no. We’ll begin with the word, schadenfreude, which means “harm-joy.” It’s used to express an […]
Leaving the Eye of the Hurricane
Leaving the Eye of the Hurricane In the early 2000’s, there were those economists and investors who believed that the U.S. was headed for an economic fall – that the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999 would allow the financial institutions to enter into widespread reckless loan practices that would lead to a housing […]
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 […]
How the Chinese Will Establish a New Financial Order
How the Chinese Will Establish a New Financial Order For many years now, it’s been clear that China would soon be pulling the strings in the U.S. financial system. In 2015, the American people owe the Chinese government nearly $1.5 trillion. I know big numbers don’t mean much to most people, but keep in mind… […]
Three Reasons Why the U.S. Government Should Default on Its Debt Today
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 […]
Where Do I Store My Wealth?
Where Do I Store My Wealth? International diversification of wealth (no matter how large or small) can save your economic freedom. Although most of our readers thoroughly understand this concept, one of the most oft-heard concerns is that, by offshoring assets, one may not be able to get to them as easily as they […]
