“I am in solidarity with the Syrian people.” “I reject the brutality and killing that the Syrian authorities are committing against the Syrian people.“ So, announced twenty two year old Kayla Mueller in a You Tube video of October 2, 2011. Unfortunately, for Kayla, she shared a view of Syria which was as myopic and ill-informed as that of her government. If her government had been honest with Kayla and the rest of the American public, it would have informed her that two years into Syria’s bloody war, the Syrian government of President Bashar Al Assad enjoyed the support of … Continue reading →

If the world all went to hell in a hand basket today, you would probably be stuck with what you have now in your possession and what you know or the skills you have learned already. Assuming your city or home didn’t get destroyed and along with it all of your prepper supplies, you could either be pretty well off for some time or in a serious world of hurt almost immediately. Most of us reading this have made some attempts at becoming prepared. Even if you are new to prepping, you may have taken steps already to ensure you have … Continue reading →

Nick Giambruno: Welcome, Jim. As you know, Doug Casey and I travel the world surveying crisis markets, and we always like to get your take on things. Today I want to talk to you about Russia, which is a very hated market right now. What are your thoughts on Russia in general and on Russian stocks in particular? Jim Rogers: Well, I’m optimistic about the future of Russia. I was optimistic before this war started in Ukraine, which was instigated by the US, of course. But in any case, I bought more Russia during the Crimea incident, and I’m looking to buy still more. … Continue reading →

  I don’t know about you, but I’m having a ball reading up on the preparations for the Wednesday/Thursday talks between Greece and .. well, everybody else. German FinMin Schäuble proudly declares that it’s do what I tell you or you’re finished, Greek FinMin Varoufakis says prepare for a clash. Greek advisors Lazard say a $100 billion debt reduction sounds reasonable, and some anonymous EU official says Lazard are incompetent and counterproductive (not smart, that). When will the Brussels luxury cubicles understand that the Greek people have voted down their approach fair and square? That they voted down the government … Continue reading →

In Part One of this article I laid the groundwork of the Fourth Turning generational theory. I refuted President Obama’s claim that the shadow of crisis has passed. The shadow grows ever larger and will engulf the world in darkness in the coming years. The Crisis will be fueled by the worsening debt, civic decay and global disorder. I will address these issues in this article. Debt, Civic Decay & Global Disorder The core elements propelling this Crisis – debt, civic decay, and global disorder – were obvious over a decade before the financial meltdown catalyst sparked this ongoing two … Continue reading →

 “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!” – Upton Sinclair, anti-fascist, anti-imperialist American author who wrote in the early 20thcentury “No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable…for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death.” – President Ronald Reagan, as he signed The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986, absolving drug companies from all medico-legal liability when children die or are disabled from vaccine injuries. ”The AAP leadership knows very well that vaccines cause autism. We need not waste anymore efforts in trying to educate them; we need to indict them.” – Dr David Ayoub “When a well-packaged web … Continue reading →

Bear with me as I wander through speculation…. Alan Greenspan has been a very good commentator on all things economic in the period both before and after he became Fed Chairman; unfortunately for all of us, this wasn’t true during the time he actually was Fed Chairman (but if not him, it would have been someone just like him, so…). He has recently come out with some statements about Greece and the Euro: The former head of the US central bank, Alan Greenspan, has predicted that Greece will have to leave the eurozone. Greece wants to re-negotiate its bailout, but … Continue reading →

Before there was a vaccine for it, just about every person in America got measles. They would catch this highly communicable childhood disease usually between the age of 5 and 9. From 1900 to 1960, with improved sanitation, clean water, and better nutrition fostered by rapid delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables along with affordable refrigerators, the mortality rate from measles in the U.S. dropped more than 95 percent. When I was a child 70 years ago families would have “measles parties” to expose their kids to another child with measles so they could have the disease and get it … Continue reading →
