The following article from the UK’s Telegraph is a perfect follow up to the fantastic piece by Glenn Greenwald about how much pleasure Obama gets from murdering people with a joystick from halfway across the world using drones that I posted on Tuesday. This expansion of drone usage is extraordinarily disturbing, not only from a … Read more
My Take: This is a very important article from Bloomberg. Paul Volcker, who is known for crushing inflation in the early 1980’s by spiking interest rates into the double digits, is seen in many circles as perhaps the best U.S. Central Banker of the modern era. As a guy who was willing to take the … Read more
While the 1% slogan of OWS was catchy, the real power players and enemies of humanity reside in a much, much smaller 0.0001% or so. This group includes dynastic banking families as well as a lot of European royals who supposedly have “no power.” If you believe that, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. … Read more
Great article here from Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com, one of the guys that has been leading the charge on the “left” to call out Obama and the two party system for the sham it is. Please pass this along to any brain dead Obama sheep that you may know… Key quotes: Miller devotes himself to … Read more
As of a few minutes ago, I put in my largest order for physical silver since 2010. I am not trying to be a hero or call the bottom, but because many people do ask me for my opinion on the precious metals I decided to make the buy public. The rationale for me is … Read more

The first is a youtube video of a New Jersey man who had $20,000 in cash confiscated from him by the police as he was driving through Tennessee (they have some strange laws down there) for absolutely no reason. The second story is an article from the … Read more
My Take: I read about the dangers of high fructose corn syrup about five years ago, and ever since then I try to check every product I purchase to insure it’s not in there. This study by researchers at UCLA should give everyone pause and I suggest at the very least you do your own homework. … Read more
My Take: This article from yesterday’s NY Times on the protests at Chicago’s NATO summit has several interesting nuggets in it, including the arrest of some so called “domestic terrorists,” but the most interesting and powerful part of the protest occurred when about 40 veterans decided to toss their medals into the street as a form … Read more
In honor of another successful muppet slaying by the big Wall Street banks via the absurdly overpriced Facebook IPO (down a nice 12% today), I thought it would be appropriate to post what is one of my favorite SNL skits of all time. “Straight Talk” with Global Century. Have a nice day muppets. *Update: Unfortunately … Read more
Ah the U.S. Postal Service. This shining example of American efficiency that just announced a $3.2 billion loss in the second quarter and employed six hundred thousand people in order to achieve this feat, has brilliantly decided we need to use SDRs when sending internationally insured parcels. Yep, glad to see our pride and joy … Read more
