Anyone who follows the financial markets in recent years has come to expect dramatic proclamations of doom from Peter Schiff, president of EuroPacific Capital.

Schiff remains an ardent critic of the Federal Reserve and hasn’t reversed his long-term concerns about the fate of the U.S. economy, currency and stocks.  But judging by the accompanying interview, he seems to have learned a lesson or two about the challenge of fighting in the Fed.   Continue reading ““The air is already coming out of the bubble” but Fed can delay collapse: Peter Schiff”

As police hunted for Justin Bourque in a wooded area in suburban Moncton, N.B., this week, one of the primary concerns officers dealt with was determining exactly what weapons he was carrying with him,

Based on a widely circulated image of the suspect, B.C.-based firearms instructor Rod Giltaca identified the two long guns Bourque was carrying as a semi-automatic centre-fire rifle — possibly an M14 or a cheaper knockoff version — and a pump-action shotgun. Both guns can be obtained legally and are commonly used by hunters, he said.   Continue reading “Moncton shooting: Justin Bourque was armed with rifle, shotgun”

Of Two Minds – by Y. Falkson

Americans know that something is wrong, deeply wrong. They see signs of the problem everywhere: income inequality, growing concentration and power of mega corporations, political donations/corruption, the absence of jobs with decent salaries, the explosion of the US prison population, healthcare costs, student loan debt, homelessness, etc. etc. However, the true causes and benefactors behind these problems are purposely hidden from view. What Americans see is Kabuki Theater of a functioning form of capitalism and democracy, but beyond this veneer our country has devolved into the exact opposite.   Continue reading “The Purchase of Our Republic”

We have been reporting on how the US government is using very nefarious and egregious methods on tracking its own citizens’ financial information, fining them and even instituting the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) as a form of subterfuge capital controls which is closing off international banking to Americans (as we reported yesterday in Mexico).

FinCen, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, has, in essence, been making nearly any international transfers of money viewed as a criminal activity.  FATCA has been making it harder and harder for Americans to open international bank accounts.  And FBAR, the Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts, has made it a highly punishable offense for any American with a foreign account worth over $10,000 if they do not file an FBAR each year.

That decision — one of three related matters being considered by voters across the Golden State on Tuesday this week — passed by 55.74 percent in Tehama County, with nearly 1,000 more ballots cast towards seceding from California compared to staying.   Continue reading “California county votes to secede from the state”

Wiping out memories at a press of a button – just like with a ‘neuralizer’ from the Men in Black movie – may soon become a reality. Researchers have managed to erase and then restore lost memory in genetically modified rats with a flash of light.

The study by researchers from University of California in San Diego, published in Nature journal , is the first cause-and-effect evidence that strengthening or weakening connections between neurons in the brain can influence particular memories.   Continue reading “Scientists learn to selectively erase and restore memories in brain”

David Letterman Demands Gun Control, Attacks Second AmendmentInfowars – by Kit Daniels

In an attempt to prop up the failing gun control movement, television host David Letterman clamored for more gun control during a discussion with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper last night on The Late Show With David Letterman.

The nearly four minute segment was little more than a ploy to attack the Second Amendment, with Letterman setting aside comedy in favor of asking loaded questions designed to make the audience believe that support for gun control is much larger than it actually is.   Continue reading “David Letterman Demands Gun Control, Attacks Second Amendment”

If you make more than $27,520 a year at your job, you are doing better than half the country is.  But you don’t have to take my word for it, you can check out the latest wage statistics from the Social Security administrationright here.  But of course $27,520 a year will not allow you to live “the American Dream” in this day and age.  After taxes, that breaks down to a good bit less than $2,000 a month.  You can’t realistically pay a mortgage, make a car payment, afford health insurance and provide food, clothing and everything else your family needs for that much money.  That is one of the reasons why both parents are working in most families today.  In fact, sometimes both parents are working multiple jobs in a desperate attempt to make ends meet.    Continue reading “Half The Country Makes Less Than $27,520 A Year And 15 Other Signs The Middle Class Is Dying”
