War is a Racket

My Two Cents:  Really good excerpt here from Bob Chapman’s International Forecaster.  In it he talks about what is really going on in Libya, Syria and with the “Free Baluchistan” movement in Pakistan.  Basically the good old “spreading democracy around the world” US of A is frantically trying to secure as many pieces on the geopolitical … Read more

Spain Goes Police State

My Two Cents:  Well it was a nice 37 year run for democracy in Spain.  Now that the country has been gutted by excess credit and a counterfeit fiat money system it’s time to put it into receivership like so many of its former colonies before it.  As was the case in Greece and Italy, crisis in … Read more

Gold Trade Booming in Greece

My Two Cents: Fascinating article here.  It seems the semi-underground Greek gold market is booming and expanding at such a rapid pace the authorities have no idea what to do about it.  This is what I expect to happen in all countries as they experience collapse one by one and the people themselves gradually move … Read more

Ban Oil Speculators!

My Two Cents: Here we go.  It was only a matter of time.  Nah, the printing of trillions of dollars out of thin air as evidenced by the Fed’s balance sheet (see below) has nothing to do with the price of oil going up.  I guess all of the great inflations of eras gone by … Read more

Kenworth to Layoff 10% of Workforce

My two cents:  More signs of the economic recovery have arrived.  Kenworth (trucking company) is about to layoff 10% of its workforce at its Chillicothe, Ohio plant.  Interestingly, the plant manager Scott Blue states that it is an industry-wide phenomenom and they still have record market share.  He goes on to state “With the market … Read more

Subprime Lending is Soaring Again

My two cents: Must read article here from the NY Times.  Best quote is from Annette Alejandro who just emerged from bankruptcy and is getting piles of credit card and auto loan applications.  She says “Even I wouldn’t make a loan to me at this point.”  Ah but that doesn’t stop the zombie bailed out … Read more

200 Ron Paul Inspired Candidates Running for Office

My Two Cents:  As Victor Hugo said “no army can stop an idea whose time has come.” It’s not so much about the man as it is about the message.  We must carry the torch of light and liberty forward into the future.  Article below… Ron Paul’s baby boom By ALEX  ISENSTADT | 4/8/12 5:03 … Read more
