| The Ongoing Debate Between Power and Conscience, Secrecy and Its Abuses |
| "At its very inception this movement depended on the deception and betrayal of one's fellow man; even at that time it was inwardly corrupt and could support itself only by constant lies. After all, Hitler states in an early edition of 'his' book: 'It is unbelievable, to what extent one must betray a people in order to rule it.'
If at the start this cancerous growth in the nation was not particularly noticeable, it was only because there were still enough forces at work that operated for the goWednesday, June 12, 2013 |

| The Resurgence of the Nuclear Reactor |
| In August 1956, the Calder Hall Power Plant in Seascale, England began generating electricity and earned the distinction of being the world's first commercial nuclear power plant. It was a humble beginning for nuclear power; the plant only had a 50-megawatt (MW) output capacity, whereas the smallest US plant today has a 478 MW capacity. Nonetheless, Calder Hall represented the launch of a new era in energy that promised to bring electricity too cheap to meter.
But early on, the promising powerMonday, May 20, 2013 |

| Gotterdammerung |
| Wagner's opera Gotterdämmerung is about the twighlight of pagan gods. The most powerful of the latter-day pagan gods that has been guiding the destinies of humanity for the past two-score of years is Irredeemable Debt. Before August 14, 1971, debts were obligations, and the word "bond" was to mean literally what it said: the opposite of freedom. The privilege of issuing debt had a countervailing responsibility: that of repayment.Friday, May 03, 2013 |

 Cultural Marxism: The Corruption of America  |
| "The United States has undergone a cultural, moral and religious revolution. A militant secularism has arisen in this country. It has always had a hold on the intellectual and academic elites, but in the 1960s it captured the young in the universities and the colleges.
"This is the basis of the great cultural war we're undergoing.... We are two countries now. We are two countries morally, culturally, socially, and theologically. Cultural wars do not lend themselves to peaceful co-eSunday, April 28, 2013 |

Hyperinflation around the Globe  |
| Angola (1991-1999)
Angola went through the worst inflation from 1991 to 1995. In early 1991, the highest denomination was 50,000 kwanzas. By 1994, it was 500,000 kwanzas. In the 1995 currency reform, 1 kwanza reajustado was exchanged for 1,000 kwanzas. The highest denomination in 1995 was 5,000,000 kwanzas reajustados. In the 1999 currency reform, 1 new kwanza was exchanged for 1,000,000 kwanzas reajustados. The overall impact of hyperinflation: 1 new kwanza = 1,000,000,000 pre-1991 kwanzas.Friday, April 19, 2013 |

| How to Prove Benjamin Franklin Wrong About Taxes |
| "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”
– Benjamin Franklin
In most cases, Mr. Franklin's statement would be correct. However, as you will see below, there are some countries in the world where you can be certain you won't pay taxes.
With the year 2013 marking the 100th anniversary of the income tax and the Federal Reserve in the US (two of the most powerful tools the government uses to extract wealth), I thought it would be useful to look at when Tax Freedom Day occurs across the world to gain some perspective.Tuesday, April 16, 2013 |

 The Streets of America in the Very Near Future… |
| We’ve seen it time and again over the last five years. Governments overstepping their authority and punishing their people because of the actions of elite banking conglomerates, dirty politicians and bought-off regulators.
Iceland, Greece, Ireland, Hungary, Argentina, Spain, and Portugal have all been pillaged in the name of purported recovery and stability.
Today we’re seeing it in Cyprus, where Euro Zone financiers have threatened to not only rob the populace of their personal savings, but shuWednesday, March 27, 2013 |

| Cyprus & the Biggest Myth of Banking Today |
| Bank deposit accounts should be sacred. Right up until they're not...YOU'D THINK that with all this practice, politicians would know how to handle a banking crisis by now. Most especially in the Eurozone.But no. Five years since Bear Stearns hit the skids (the anniversary was Monday) the Cypriot mess is such a mess that people elsewhere feel the urge to say that "it couldn't happen here."Portugal's finance minister said it Tuesday afternoon. Italy's La Stampa newspaper said it Tuesday morning. YWednesday, March 20, 2013 |

| The Road to Hyperinflation is Paved With War & Distrust |

by James Anderson (Sales), Gold & Silver Staff
When the average person hears talk about the potential for hyperinflation and how it would affect our world, it often sounds like a tale from Charles Dickens or something that could only happen in countries very far away from the United States.
Of course that is not the case. Over the past century, 56 countries have suffered the devastating consequences of hyperinflations as a resultWednesday, March 20, 2013 |

| Hedging Non-Gold Investments With Gold |
| The cliché that the present credit collapse is "the greatest financial crisis since 1929" is the understatement of the century. One measure of the crises is the ratio of gross private debt to nominal GDP. This ratio captures the idea how many years of current output it would take to retire outstanding debt. In these terms, the crisis is truly unprecedented. The world plunged into the present crisis with far greater debt than the debt outstanding at the time when it plunged into the Great Depression in 1929. Add to this the qualitative change in the structure of debt. The most exotic of the Roaring Twenties era debt was brokers' margin lending on the stock purchases of clients. Today, in addition, we have: (1) derivative instruments valued up to one quadrillion dollars, (2) adjustable-rate mortgages, (Friday, March 01, 2013 |

| With the Yen sinking to new lows nearly every day, and with French President Francois Hollande now in the act of pleading for a lower euro, it's time to step back and review the currency war madness of the past couple of weeks. There is plenty of madness to review.
