How Can Corporate Reputation Be Restored in the Western...

Knesset member Moshe Feiglin and Prof. Jonathan Macey are first time guests. Macey will talk about his recent book The Death of Corporate Reputation. Dr. Macey explains why corporate reputation has been in decline over the past decade and increasing regulation has not been very effective in reviving it. Macey provides many great insights into this problem but could it be that that the western world is suffering a deeper, moral malaise that explains not only bad corporate reputation but the...

A Warning From History: Bernanke is Destroying People’s...

Guests - Todd Wood, Ellen Brown and Gene Epstein. Wood visits for the first time to talk about his novel “Currency.” This novel explains the rise of America and its middle class up into the 1970s and our current decline caused largely by fiat money and embellished in spades by Ben Bernanke. Wood warns that current American monetary policy is leading our nation into an economic decline nationally and as a superpower the dollar is falling from favor by China and other creditor nations. Todd is...

Hour 1: Breathing Optimism on Our Beleaguered Economy

Breathing Optimism on Our Beleaguered Economy (Hour 1:...

IT executive Alexis Ringwald visits for the first time and U.S. Global Funds manager, Frank Holms, stops by again. We often talk on this show about how financial promiscuity has led to mal investment and unemployment. Recently Dr. Mark Skousen suggested that in spite of government policies, mal investment is at least partly working its way out of our beleaguered economy thanks to people like Alexis Ringwald whose latest innovation, “Learn Up,” is an IT to train and thus equip employees for...

Curtis Ellis appears for the first time while Jeff Berwick and Jonathan Moore return. Anarchy advocate, Jeff Berwick, who has recently been featured on all major media to explain the Bitcoin phenomena, will do the same for our listeners in more depth than at CNBC, Fox and CNN. Curtis Ellis, who has been a producer for Lou Dobbs and who knows his way around the halls of Congress, explains why and how the one-world order advocates are seeking to destroy the last vestiges of American...

Chris Martenson and Eric Coffin appear for the first time while returning Bob Hoy will tell us why he thinks gold and gold share markets are bottoming out. Martenson will talk about the unsustainable future of our economy, energy and the environment and how we should prepare our lives to deal with the adversities we most certainly will face. Then, one of the best and most independent junior mine stock pickers in the world, Eric Coffin, will share his appraisal of the current depressed state...

Hour 2: Investing in the Age of Sovereign Defaults and...

Investing in the Age of Sovereign Defaults and...

Dr. Peter Treadway visits for the first time as does mining executive Carlos H. Fernandez Mazzi who headed up President Clinton’s Sustainable Growth Initiative. Carlos will talk about Golden Arrow's evolving silver deposit. Our main focus is on Dr. Treadway’s book, “Investing in the Age of Sovereign Defaults.” He examines the role technology plays in redistributing wealth and how governments are being driven toward destructive socialism as a result. One of the main problems we investors face...

The Rule of Law Gives Way to Political Lies and Economic...

Dana Siegelman and Frank Vernuccio are first time guests. Dana’s father, Don Siegelman, former governor of Alabama, was seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party and possible Presidential Candidate in 2004. The Bush Administration indicted Siegelman in 2002 and then again in 2005. Dana will talk about the miscarriage of justice and defiance of the rule of law against her father and how you can help to right this wrong that Republicans as well as Democrats have railed against. Not...

Defining Austrian Economics and Its Role in American...

Llewellyn Rockwell joins our show for the first time to talk about the Ludwig von Mises Institute and to help us understand its importance and what lies ahead of us if its message is ignored. What about the origin of the Mises Institute and the free market views of its namesake? From an Austrian economic perspective, what should the limits of government be both at home and abroad? Ron Paul has done a remarkable job at reeducating Americans toward the virtues of free market economics and...

Nothing is Funny about Funny Money (Hour 2: Nothing is...

U.K. comedian and television star Dominic Frisby returns to pick up where we left off two weeks ago to talk about the evils of fiat money and about his upcoming book titled, “Life After the State.” Can we imagine life after the state? Frisby agrees with many of the goals of the left, but he understands that the traditional Robin Hood approach through taxation and the “legal” theft of governments and central banks using the weapon of fiat money is leading the western world to its destruction....

At What Price Will Gold Become Money Again? (Hour 2: At...

Alasdair Macleod joins us for the first time. He writes for James Turk’s Gold Money. With his depth of understanding of the gold markets, we want to ask him whether he thinks the global economy is heading over a financial cliff or rocketing into hyper inflation. In either case, what does he expect for the price of gold? Are we inevitably heading back to some kind of gold-backed international currency? If so, what drivers will bring it about? How can people best invest in gold? Should they...

Peter Grandich Talks Stocks, Bonds, Gold, God & America...

Peter Grandich returns to provide us with his always savvy financial market and precious metals insights. Peter is as honest and independent as any market forecaster on the planet. I have come to respect his market outlook because most of the time he has been proven right. Not only is Peter independent on his views about the markets, he also holds a very contrary but traditional Judeo-Christian view on morality and has an understanding of the connection between a loss of faith in a higher...

America’s Global Empire and You (Hour 2: America’s...

John Perkins, author of "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" returns. As we remember 9-11-01, I recall Ron Paul’s words, “The reason they are over here is because we are over there.” Imagine if the Chinese put their ships in the Gulf of Mexico and then sent drones out over the U.S. to kill Americans. Do you not think we would be angry about that?" Is America leaving Afghanistan? The 9/6/12 NY Times reports that as the U.S. military supposedly pulls out of Afghanistan, the U.S. will continue...

From Economic Freedom to Fascism. Why is it happening in...

We will interview Russ Baker, bestselling author of “Family of Secrets: America’s Invisible Government and the Hidden History of the Last Fifty Years.” And Dennis Marker returns to talk about his book “Fifteen Steps to Corporate Feudalism.” Dennis maintains that wealthy Americans have convinced America’s middle class to eliminate themselves and he names 15 steps taken toward that end. Russ Baker’s book deals with what President Kennedy warned about, namely the danger of secret societies and...

A View of South African Mine Violence from Inside the...

Ilana Mercer is back to explain why S. African police killed 34 miners and injured more at a S.African platinum mine. Ilana’s book, “Into the Cannibal’s Pot” provides great insights into the connection between an increasingly brutal and violent culture and the removal of property rights in the post-apartheid, multi-cultural South Africa. Unfortunately, the psychological and cultural dynamics of socialism transcends race and nations. When the state takes property from its citizens it's step...

LIBOR Rigging? Why Would Gold Be Exempt? (Hour 2: LIBOR...

Chris Powell of the Gold Anti Trust Action Committee (GATA) joins me once again to update us on the latest evidence of gold market manipulation by the U.S. Government and major bullion banks, who just happen to be major shareholders of the Fed. For more than a decade, GATA, a civil rights organization, has built a compelling case showing that members of the Clinton Administration and others have consciously set out to keep a lid on the price of gold to ensure the public does not opt out of...

Ron Paul Seeks to Tame the Creature from Jekyll Island...

Ed Griffin and Ron Paul revisit by way of past interviews while your host is on holiday. If there is one book in the world that explains who really owns and controls America through ownership of the Federal Reserve Bank, it is Ed Griffin’s book “The Creature from Jekyll Island.” Ed discuses the creation of the Fed and how it was used to rid bankers of the competition of free market capitalism in America and clandestinely impart fascism into the U.S. But our Constitution calls for a limited...

Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? (Hour 2: Whatever...

Richard Maybury returns to talk about his book “Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?" Penny Candy may sound trivial but it’s about freedom and liberty. William E. Simon, former U.S. Sec. of the Treasury said of this book, “Must reading for anyone who wishes to understand the basics of our free enterprise system.” Rather than protecting life, liberty and happiness, through confiscation, our government has become the biggest threat against our Declaration of Independence. Maybury explains how and...

Reinventing Collapse & Preparing for Survival (Hour 2:...

Ian Gordon and Dmitry Orlov return to update us on the “progress” of the breakdown of social order in the Western world caused by debt/GDP levels that far surpass those of the 1930s. Orlov’s book, Reinventing Collapse outlines the stages of decline starting with the financial system and ending with a basic breakdown of infrastructure, law and order. We will ask him where we are in that fateful chain of events. Ian will update us on the “progress” of the Kondratieff Winter and to also paint a...

A Capitalism for the People. Gold for the People (Hour...

Doug Groh visits for the first time and Luigi Zingales returns to further discuss “A Capitalism for the People.” True free market capitalism levels the playing field and rewards suppliers who meet market demand rather than brown nosing and patronage activities, which is why Prof. Zingales moved to America. But now he sees an avoidance of competition and elitism to the detriment of all but the ruling elite. How can we move back toward a free market America? Meantime, how do Americans hang on...

How Can We Profit from Mal Invested World? (Hour 2: How...

Bill Laggner & Rick Rule return to help us learn to profit from a world of mal investment caused by political and central bank intervention against the natural flows of markets. We'll ask Bill to talk about the harms caused to average Americans by American fascist economics and what his hedge fund is doing to turn the tables in favor of their investors. Rick Rule, whom Doug Casey calls the top investment adviser in the world, becomes elated by plunging prices because, as with most successful...

Will Reality Economics Overcome Crapitalism? (Hour 2:...

Michael McKay and Doug Wead visit for the first time. Eisenhower warned that the Military Industrial Complex was a threat to our liberty and Kennedy worried secret societies could do so. Nixon enabled both evils by detaching gold from money, empowering the Fed, funding endless wars and bankrupting the world. But alas, not even the powerful U.S. military nor the FED can fool mother mature forever. We'll ask McKay about the power of market forces to reverse America's trend toward tyranny and...

Rescuing Capitalism from CRAPitalism (Hour 2: Rescuing...

James Turk returns & Luigi Zingales, Univ. of Chicago Prof. of Entrepreneurship and Finance, visits for the 1st time to talk about his book, “A Capitalism for the PEOPLE.” Prof. Zingales offers ways to return to a capitalism that rewards merit and discourages Crony Capitalism, which Gene Epstein calls “Crapitalism.” Prof. Zingales puts his finger on many symptoms of our increasingly perverse capitalist model, but can a fix be done through a new set of regulations? Or do we need to return to...

Crapitalism’s effects on Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of...

Barron’s Columnist Gene Epstein and Ilana Mercer author of “Into the Cannibal’s Pot” will join us to talk about the damages caused to our economic well-being, personal liberty and safety from the government's confiscation of property and market intervention. In her book, Ilana points out that the post apartheid South Africa has become a very dangerous place to live in largely because of the removal of property rights and a mal functioning legal system worse even than before apartheid....

The Perils of Fiat Money & the Inevitable Return to Gold...

John Butler and William Bergman are first time guests. Bergman, a former Fed economist who wrote the “Beige Book,” has raised serious questions about an inexplicable sudden increase in M-1 just prior to 9-11 that suggests someone big knew that devastating event may have been about to happen. We will talk to William about that and other issues like the failure of the rating issues during the housing bubble. Debt bubbles result from a monetary system without discipline. That's at least part of...

American Fascism – Who is Responsible? (Hour 2: American...

Dennis Marker and Glen A. Downs join us for the first time this week. Mr. Marker will talk about his book, “Fifteen Steps to Corporate Feudalism – How the Rich Convinced America’s Middle Class to Eliminate Themselves.” America’s middle class reached its zenith in the late 60’s and early 70’s but a redistribution of wealth to a very small few on Wall Street is leading to a destruction of the middle class. Who is to blame? Was it Ronald Reagan and his destruction of the unions, less regulation...

Ron Paul and Lewis Lehrman on Moving Forward to a New...

Ron Paul and Lewis Lehrman are back—together this time—to talk about a return to a gold standard. In 1982, both recommended a return to the gold standard. Since then our fiat money system has led us down a path of destruction. What would the world be like now if the US had followed Paul and Lehrman's advice at that time? More importantly, what will the world look like 10 or 15 years from now if policy continues to ignore that advice? If we are to return to a gold standard, how do we get...

Bill Tatro Predicts Dow 3500. Walker Todd on How Do We...

Bill Tatro and Walker Todd are first time guests. Tatro will explain the dynamics of Irving Fisher’s debt deflation model and how policy makers have gotten the world into this depression. More importantly, he has a recipe for not only protecting the wealth you have but for using the knowledge of what is to come to profit from it as the Dow heads from its current 13,000 to 13,500 range toward his predicted target of 3,500 by 2016. Walker Todd, a former Cleveland Federal Reserve economist and...

The End of Money as We Know It and the Future of...

Thomas H. Greco, Jr. joins us for the first time to talk about "The End of Money and the future of Civilization." Money has become nothing more than an information system. And there are emerging mechanisms for managing exchange information outside of the conventional banking system and without the use of political monies. With emerging technologies, Greco sees the potential for a shift from elite rule based on “command and control” hierarchies and military force to a more inclusive,...

Phony Science, Phony Christians, Phony Wars Spell...

Mikey Weinstein and Naomi Oreskes are first time guests. Weinstein fights hateful Christians in the military. The Military Industrial Complex needs enemies and who better to flame the fires of war than perverted fundamentalist Christians who can’t wait their turn to kill a Muslim for Christ. Is this religious hatred the tinder that ignites our increasingly fascist nation into launching WWIII, much as a hatred for Jews fueled WWII? Ideology, whether religious or economic, can lead to "an end...

Are We Entering a Cyclical Bear Market for Gold? (Hour...

Paul van Eeden and Jeff Deist, Ron Paul's Chief of Staff, return. The price of gold has risen for 10 straight years. Jim Liles reminded folks at the Wealth Protection Conference last week that no commodity had ever risen 11 years in a row. Might 2012 see the price of gold decline for the first time since 2002? A few weeks back, Paul van Eeden said his model for valuing gold tells him its real value is only $900/oz. now. We will ask Paul to explain his method for valuing gold. And as one who...

The New Depression – Avoiding the Greater Depression...

Richard Duncan appears here for the first time to tell us that our current global economic malaise was caused by America shutting down the international gold standard in 1971. He believes we are facing the potential for a depression a magnitude worse than that of the 1930s because the entire world has gone onto fiat money rather than gold. That resulted in rapid growth we would not otherwise have enjoyed, but it has also resulted in an instability that is posed to destroy the existing...

Juggling Dynamite Set off by Government Market...

Danielle Park and Julian Phillips are first time guests. Danielle has a great grasp of overall risk/reward relationships. She understands that the tortoise not the hare wins the investment race. She has a strong grasp of how government policies can harm unsuspecting investors and what you can do protect yourself against the slow but steady confiscation of wealth through currency and interest rate manipulation or from sudden and violent market implosions that result. Against currency...

Can Nature Punish the Bad Guys? (Hour 2: Can Nature...

Lenny Charles visits us for the first time to talk about his passion for free speech and truth. As a founder of I.N.N. World Report TV & Radio News, Lenny has sought truth from where it most often can be found, namely outside of the mainstream. He has used his company to distribute pro-democracy views alien to our war-mongering, corporate banking military industrial complex. Unfortunately, out of greed, Ponzi criminal lenders are in the process of destroying Lenny's media company that has...

Investing in Africa? Investing in Commodities? (Hour 2:...

Larry Seruma visits for the first time and Jim Liles returns for a third time. Seruma is an advisor to the Nile Africa Fund. Why invest in Africa? Which countries have the lowest levels of political risk? Which ones have the highest risk levels? What are the best sectors to invest in and how can foreigners venture into those markets? Liles will return to talk about the commodity and currency markets. Last time he visited he leaned toward a deflationary bias and warned to watch 71.38 in the...

Can China Save the Western Economies? (Hour 2: Can China...

Paul van Eden and Adrian Day are this week's main guests. The Western world is mired in debt at a time when nearly as many people vote for a living as work for a living. But the Piper is asking to be paid and that isn't going over very well. Even early calls for austerity are leading to riots. And a continuation of failed Keynesian policies guarantee conditions will only get worse in the longer term if not immediately. Economically, BRIC countries, headed by China have seen incomes rise...

Who is Demolishing America’s Middle Class? (Hour 2: Who...

James A. Otto and Dr. John Coleman are our main guests this week. Otto visits for a first time. He will talk about how America is exporting higher paying jobs and what can be done about it. With the loss of higher paying jobs has come a decline in the middle class. Is corporate America responsible for the exodus of foreign jobs and the continuing demolition of the middle class? Or, might it be due to a growing unholy alliance of big business and government, which passes laws that are kind to...

On the Verge of Lehman Brothers II? What are the Odds?...

Ian McAvity joins me once again for his candid and very independent view of the markets. No one is better equipped as a technical analyst to give us a view of the global economic landscape from 34,000 ft. up. Formerly a frequent guest of Wall Street Week and founder of two solid, legitimate precious metals funds, this veteran Canadian analyst has no axe to grind with respect to which way the markets move. Ian provides some great economic stats, but since markets lead the economy, we will ask...

Politicians Can’t Stop Asteroids, Global Warming or...

Ron Paul, Arch Crawford, Bob Hoye, Brent Cook and Mickey Fulp visit us this week. Ron Paul tells CNBC why a slightly better economy is artificial and can’t last. CNBC suggested to Ron Paul that he shouldn’t worry about the economy because an asteroid will doom us in 2040 anyway. But Arch Crawford will warn us of dire planetary alignments that are a mere weeks and months away. Geophysicist Bob Hoye tells us why man made global warming is an absolute hoax and why quantitative easing will be as...

Problems Ahead for China? Can Shale Oil and Gas Overcome...

Gordon Chang appears for the first time to tell why he is bearish on China while most of the world sees China as a major growth engine. His book, “The Coming Collapse of China” written in 2001 now appears to either be wrong or premature. Some think he is wrong. Other economists think his general thesis is correct but his predictions were early. China with its growing population would seem to have an insatiable desire for energy. Could the emerging U.S. technologies that are leading to an...

A Royal Reversal of the American Revolution (Hour 2: A...

Dr. John Coleman, author of “The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations” is back. The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations was orchestrated by the British Royalty and later funded by the Rothschild family to shape the minds of the British and American populace to favor World War I and subsequent wars and to shape the moral, spiritual, cultural, political and economic decline of the U.S. Coleman’s account jives with Daniel Estulin’s account of The Bilderberg Group and other guests on this...

Wake Up Christians! You Are Supporting American Fascism!...

Chuck Baldwin, a Christian minister, has endorsed Ron Paul for President. Christians on the right support fascism. Out of ignorance they follow a similar path taken by Christians in Nazi Germany. Christians on the left support communism. But how can a Christian minister support Dr. Paul who favors removing laws against the sale of drugs and prostitution? Rather than falsely accusing Ron Paul of favoring homosexuality, prostitution and drug use, Baldwin not only understands that forcing...

Where Can We Escape American Tyranny? (Hour 2: Where Can...

Doug Casey and Rick Rule return in tandem for another discussion about markets and wealth creation. Both are independent thinkers who have taken investment roads less traveled by to build considerable wealth. Both men understand how free markets work for the benefit of the masses. Trouble is, with every passing day, the U.S. evolves ever closer to massive tyranny. With the recent passage of the “Patriots Bill” anyone who disagrees with our government can be deemed a terrorist and swept off...

Is Hyper Inflation Possible in the Age of Deleveraging?...

Dr. Gary Shilling and John Williams, two economists with quite differing views on the inflation/deflation debate, will join us this week. Dr. Shilling appears to talk about the topic of his fabulous book, “The Age of Deleveraging.” Though more moderate in his deflationary views than some, he correctly speaks of a massive deleveraging process that is still in its early stages. Williams will return to argue that massive debt will lead to dollar destruction, massive printing press money and...

Sound Money and National Sovereignty for the U.S.,...

Lewis Lehrman, Robert Unger and Robert Muchnick return this week. Mr. Lehrman will talk of progress made in educating Americans about the need for sound money if we wish to retain economic freedom, liberty and prosperity for Americans. The link between a sound monetary system and ability of nations to retain their national sovereignty as opposed to submitting to an Anglo-American global dictatorship should also be made clear with the return of Unger and Muchnick who will discuss why Ron...

Gold & Country Confiscation. What Can You Do About It?...

Bob Unger and David Ganz, two litigators, appear for the first time to discuss the issue of national sovereignty and the right to retain ownership of gold. Guests like Coleman, Griffin, Perkins, Estulin, and Salbuchi have provided evidence that democracy in America is an illusion and that unseen powers aiming at control of a one-world government, manipulate public opinion into giving up life, liberty and property in exchange for the illusion of wealth and safety. In the struggle against...

Ian’s 1012 Forecast. Is this The Year for Dow 1,000 &...

Ian Gordon, a student of the Kondratieff Cycle, returns to discuss his 2012 market forecast. Between 1923 and 1925, Nicolai Kondratieff discovered a long-term economic cycle primarily based on commodity prices, interest rates and trade beginning in 1789. Ian Gordon has improved upon this concept by including multiple factors not previously recognized. Based on his interpretation of the Longwave cycle, Ian has accurately predicted the current economic downturn and credit crisis. Along with...

The Queen of England reclaims America and you are her...

Dr. John Coleman explains why Ron Paul’s urge to return to Constitutional policies falls on deaf ears. In The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, he explains how the British Crown and the Rothschilds formed an all powerful group that knows no national boundaries, is above the laws of countries and controls every aspect of politics, religion, commerce and industry, banking, insurance, the drug trade, and the petroleum industry. This is a group answerable to nobody. Americans believe the...

Macro and Micro Discovery Investing (Hour 2: Macro and...

Economist Dr. Michael Berry brings a couple of rare combinations to our show. He is a mainstream economist who lectures to Fed officials at least once a year. But he is also an independent thinker, which is why he left a job as a professor at a leading university. He simply could not, in good conscience, teach Keynesian propaganda to his students. Dr. Berry is also a rare find for our show because he is both a macro and micro economic thinker. He has just released an exceptionally...

Protecting Yourself against the Creature from Jekyll...

Jay Taylor, your host, will discuss the Creature from Jekyll Island and how you can protect yourself from it. Who is the Creature? It’s the Fed, whose unpopular creation was clandestinely planned by some of the most powerful banking families on earth at Jekyll Island in 1910. Once you understand why the Fed was created and by whom, the recent bailouts of the wealthy and the impoverishment of the middle classes in America are not difficult to understand. We can hope and pray for Ron Paul’s...

Making Money in a Deleveraging and Increasingly...

Bill Laggner returns to tell us how he and his partner, Kevin Duffy, have managed to make most of their money when others were losing their shirts. 2011 is proving to be another such year, but what about 2012? Can we expect more of the same in 2012 or might next year be the year when hyperinflation prognosticators turn out to be right? What about gold, stocks, bonds and commodities in general? To what extent can an ever growing China help keep the world’s economy afloat? With rising...

Confessions of a Wall Street Whiz Kid (Hour 1:...

Peter Grandich was the least likely person to succeed on Wall Street. He never finished High School, never mind attend an Ivy League Wall Street factory. But using his street smarts, he made some brilliant market calls that won him fame. But fame hardly put him on “Easy Street.” Quite the contrary! Peter suffered a very serious bout of depression that nearly did him in. But through his trials he remained a shrewd market analyst and his personal pain has led him to attain a deep spiritual...

Is the U.S. Dollar Toast? (Hour 1: Is the U.S. Dollar...

Jack Crooks joins us for the first time this week. Most gold bugs are predicting the sudden and imminent collapse of the dollar. But insights from Bob Hoye suggest that isn’t likely to happen while the credit system contracts. Jack Crooks, a currency expert for the Weiss organization, is predicting that the dollar has likely bottomed for the foreseeable future. We will ask Jack why he is predicting that and what that will mean for our investments in general. Also joining me this week will be...

The Next Government Sachs Scam. This Time it’s Housing...

Realtor, Kathy Fettke returns. In their efforts to keep markets from working and line their pockets, the boys at Goldman Sachs are seeking another gift from the American common folks. This time it’s in the housing industry where they hope to use their influence in Washington to obtain the lion’s share of distressed mortgages from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac at bargain basement prices. Kathy Fettke will explain how this monopoly will again hurt average Americans and result in another windfall...

Hitman Economics. How Can We Achieve an Even Playing...

John Perkins returns. He desires a more fair form of capitalism. He applauds Occupy Wall Street, a “Robin Hood Economic” advocacy. Can taxing the rich achieve egalitarian income distribution without destroying liberty and prosperity? Can a change of the human heart be achieved so that we humans forgo greed in favor of altruism? What historical evidence suggests that is possible? Parasitic bankers and politicians began to prosper at the expense of average Americans after 1971 when Nixon took...

Investing Ideas in a Deleveraging World (Hour 1:...

Adrian Day joins us for a second time. His book titled “Investing in Resources” lays out some very promising ways to profit from commodities at a time when a major portion of the world’s population is achieving middle class status. With it comes expectations for modern conveniences and a lifestyle that demands much higher per capita consumption of energy and the world’s materials in general. Against that major trend, however, is the current massive deleveraging of debt mostly from the...

Deflation: Making Sure It Doesn’t Happen Here (Hour 1:...

Mish Shedlock returns to update us on his deflation views. In 2002 after the Greenspan-induced dot com bubble collapsed, many worried that the U.S. could suffer a Japanese style deflation. That’s when Ben Bernanke wrote a paper titled “Deflation: Making Sure It Doesn’t Happen Here.” He reasoned that massive amounts of money creation helicoptered over American would avoid deflation. Nine years and trillions of dollars later, factoring in actual inflation, we still have virtually zero real...

America’s Energy Abundance Provides Fuel for Economic...

Petroleum geologist Patrick Laracy of Vulcan Minerals talks of the abundance of shale gas in the U.S. that is more significant than all the oil of Saudia Arabia. What are the possibilities of using natural gas for all manner of America’s energy needs and how might that boost our economy? Despite all the recent problems in Japan related to that country’s natural disaster, nuclear power provides one of the safest if not the safest form of abundant energy. How are some ways to play both natural...

tsFascist Warnings from Eisenhower & Kennedy. Nixon...

Ron Paul is the only Presidential candidate to understand what the root cause of America’s current economic and moral depression is. Pres. Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex ("MIC"). Kennedy warned of the dangers of secret societies to a free society. Paying no attention to either, Pres. Nixon funded the MIC and the most secret of the institutions, the Fed, by unilaterally detaching gold from the dollar, thus enabling the Fed to provide endless debt to fund military...

Restoring Prosperity and Liberty through Honest Money...

Ron Hera appears in my show for the first time this week to talk about the state of Utah reasserting its constitutional right to issue money and the recent passage of its Legal Tender Act, which authorizes the use of federally-minted gold and silver coins as Money in the State of Utah. We will ask Ron to explain the connection between the massive impoverishment of average Americans and a very small minority of Americans, mostly in the banking industry and in government, who are gaining at...

Are We on the Precipice of a Greater Depression? (Hour...

Top analyst Ian McAvity of Wall Street Week fame is back with his insights into the global equity, debt, commodity and precious metals markets. How did our policy makers get us into such trouble? How close are we to a cataclysmic decline that could take us down as hard as or harder than the Great Depression took our grandparents down in the 1930s? How will this Federal Reserve Bank induced mess play out? Will it be resolved through the fires of hyper inflation or through the deflationary...

Pondering the Possibilities of a Greater Deflationary...

Florian Siegfried is a money manager for Precious Capital Ltd., in Zurich, Switzerland. As a follower of Austrian economics he has been remarkably successful in picking junior gold mining stocks. However, his bullish views on gold shares are based more on his views that we are most likely heading for a deflationary depression and not the kind of hyper inflation that most gold bugs believe is the inevitable outcome of endless amounts of “printing press” money. We will ask him to present his...

Understanding and Profiting from Asian Economics (Hour...

Dr. Jim Walker provides a free market perspective on the Asian markets. Many commodity bulls believe Asian growth is a one-way street and that they can more than make up for an economic depression in the western world. But, a command economy in China has 64 million empty apartments where few people can afford to live. Could that lead to a depression in China or is the Chinese economy so large as Jim Rogers suggests, that 64-million empty apartments are unimportant? What about the longer term...

Profiting from Understanding the Fed (Hour 1: Profiting...

Jon Marek returns this week to talk more about the Federal Reserve and what it is really saying as opposed to what voices on CNBC and other mainstream media may want you to think it is saying.
