Retired congressman Ron Paul has been conning people for decades with his "bad government" lines so as to make it appear as if he is one of the few "good guys" in Washington "fighting for your freedom and liberty."  After all, if voters were led to believe there are at least a few guys fighting for them in Washington they would continue to support America's corporate fascism which has been disguised as a two-party system of "democracy." But his role in government extends beyond offering hope to disenfranchised Americans. For instance, despite common perception Ron Paul has always supported strengthening the military-industrial complex. He cleverly hides this support for massive funding of the military by criticizing wars, but the reality is that he still wants taxpayers' Social S...

The second take is always better than the first, but you decide!

I have documented some of Max Keiser's biggest scams since the financial crisis as a way to warn those who would be his suckers. In this article, I present a brief review of some of these scams followed by his latest attempt to fool those who are foolish enough to think they will receive accurate reporting from him and RT.   REMEMBER, birds of the same feather ALWAYS FLOCK TOGETHER.

As I continue my breakdown of the inner workings of the media, I first wanted to emphasize that all of the players within this propaganda machine cooperate with each other. They all air the same content because this creates a perception of validation. What they air becomes your perception of reality, whether it’s about North Korea, Iraq, Palestine or the stock market and the economy. If you’re told the same thing over and over again, eventually you’ll believe it; especially when different people – people you trust, say it. This is how most Americans have been convinced we are fighting a war on terror, yet the Mexican border remains open for “terrorists” from the Middle East to easily pass if they so choose. This is also how Americans were convinced Ir...

In the audio below, Mike tells it like it is in his typical animated, unrehearsed way (warning: if you do not like cursing, please do not listen to this audio). The full version of this article (including the audio commentary) is available only to active Members and Clients. For some strange reason, over the past couple of years we have received quite a few emails by individuals asking us Mike’s opinion on Martin Armstrong. Before we begin, you might want to check on the case by the SEC against Mr Armstrong.   Anyone who even has to ask us about Armstrong has NO idea about Mike’s track record, much less Armstrong's. We highly doubt they've even read a single one of Mike's highly informative and very educational books, which most likely accounts for the re...

Where did Alex Jones ever get the idea that Schiff "manages billions" of dollars? If it was a one-time error, okay. But it wasn't. Jones made this claim dozens of times over the span of several years.   From memory, I believe Euro Pacific's assets under management (AUM) surpassed $1.5 billion for a few months.  If I'm wrong, I'm sure Schiff will reach out to me.  And if I'm wrong I will publish a correction/retraction. Obviously I do not believe I'm wrong or I wouldn't bother wasting my time on this topic.  But this was not long after the financial crisis and before people began to realize Schiff didn't really predict anything, and is nothing other than a broken clock, gold peddler.  Once people began to realize Schiff is nothing more than......

It is by no accident that the Mad Hedge Fund Trader has partnered with the lying scum at Zero Hedge.  It is also by no accident that he, like the main figures behind Zero Hedge refuses to tell you his name. That alone should raise some really big red flags. Why would the Mad Hedge Fund Trader refuse to identify himself? Perhaps it is because this enables him to make claims that are impossible to verify. He claims to have run a hedge fund, but decided to exit the business to focus on managing his personal investments. This is another red flag.  It basically implies that his fund blew up. Think about it, the best way to manage your money as a fund manager is to keep running your hedge fund, that is, if it’s making money. After all, you get 20% of the profits...

Fact #5. Most of the Lost Jobs Will Not Return What no one seems to understand is the fact that these job losses are not temporary. Most of them simply aren’t coming back. I’ll guarantee it. The only jobs that will return are those that no one wants; the low-paying, no benefits, dead-end jobs. It’s the same situation that played out after the dotcom collapse. This is part of the reason why there’s been no real recovery since 2001. As I discussed in America’s Financial Apocalypse, it was all an illusion fueled by a real estate bubble. It was another one of Greenspan’s bubble.  

Today, we learn of even more clowns looking to duplicate Porter Stansberry’s fear-mongering tactics to lure unsophisticated people into his...

You have probably heard what the clowns in the media have said about the economy.  Unfortunately, the media is littered with misguided salesmen like Peter Schiff, Mark Faber and other gold dealers, who clearly have no idea what they're talking about. What they do have are agendas.   Then you have pundits who are always late to the party.   Ask yourself the following question…   Have you ever gotten a true sense of the reality of the U.S. or global economy by listening to the clowns in the media?

I've been telling you that all of the alternatives to Wall Street, whether it's the online brokers like Charles Schwab or E-Trade, the financial pundits in the media, or the traditional investment newsletter guys - are all sleeping in the same bed together.  Why might this be? because the best way to make the most money is to unite! Later on, you might want to refresh your memory how the media acts to screw you, by checking this list of media articles. Today, I provide another eye-opening look at the deep relations that all of the guys in the media club have with each other.  First, let's go back a year when I wrote about Martin Weiss. 

Gold bugs and dealers alike have pumped out so many misconceptions and flat out lies about gold, silver, and the economy that it would be impossible for me to set the story straight in a single article; that's saying a lot considering the fact that my articles tend to be rather lengthy. However, I have previously written several articles that address the majority of the most common of these myths and lies (check the end of this article for a partial list). If you have been sucked into the vortex of lies from these charlatans, you could stand to lose a HUGE amount of money over the next several years as the gold bull market comes to an end.  And if you really think gold will never again fall below $1000 as Marc Faber the gold-pumping clown has "guaranteed," I regret...

“If I submit a manuscript to a publishing house, it is again checked first for references to the Jews, and second, to see if its author is on the Jewish blacklist. In this manner, the Jews prevent any gentile writer from reaching the public if he is known to be indifferent or hostile to their goals, if he has refused to become a member of the shabez goi class.   Any publication which rejects Jewish censorship is either driven out of business, or taken over by Jewish financial interests.   A book which is published by gentiles who are not of the shabez goi class is ignored by the book review departments of mass publications, and bookstores refuse to stock it, for their stocks are reviewed monthly by traveling ADL agents who enter the store incognito, inspect the stock, a...

Who is Chris Martenson?  Is He Legit?  And is He on Your Side?   In this 3-year investigation of Martenson, we lay out the details of how this snake has elbowed his way into the gold charlatan network in this 60-page report. We issued a warning about Martenson a while back, knowing well what he was up to, but we just did not have the time to do the investigation and write-up required to present a bullet-proof analysis. Click here to read our previous warning. More recently, we exposed what a complete clown Martenson is by showing his predictions on commodities and the US stock market. Click here and here to view Parts 1 & 2 of this video presentation, respectively. The full report on Chris Martenson can be found in our famous Encyclopedia of Bozos,...

Although I'm buried in work, I just had to stop and take some time to write a piece demonstrating another example how the forces out there are against you. They are vultures, and they seek

Maybe there's a good reason why CNBC has a show called Fast Money. If you follow the advice of these guys, your money is likely to evaporate very fast. Likewise, I'm beginning to see why Cramer's show is called Mad Money. You're likely to get mad if you follow his advice. Or maybe you have to be a mad man to watch it.
