The combination of precise formulas with highly imprecise assumptions can be used to establish, or rather to justify, practically any value one wishes

Fadel Gheit: Avoid the Middle East, Invest in US Refineries
The Energy Report: During your last interview in March, you said that oil prices were inflated by about 30% based on replacement costs of about $70/barrel ($70/bbl). Do you still believe that or are prices more realistic today? Fadel Gheit: Nothing really changed over the course of the year. Oil prices are still inflated. I still stand by my estimate that oil should be trading between $70 and $80/bbl, not $90 or $100/bbl. TER: What are your top picks among the large-cap exploration and product

India's Energy Ties with Iran Unsettle Washington
India's relentless search for hydrocarbons to fuel its booming economy has managed the rather neat diplomatic trick of annoying Washington, delighting Tehran and intriguing Baghdad, all the while leaving the Indian Treasury fretting about how to pay for its oil imports, given tightening sanctions on fiscal dealings with Iran. On 7 June the US State Department reluctantly announced that it was renewing India's six-month waivers for implementing sanctions against Iran, along with s

Obama's Syria Policy Looks a Lot Like Bush's Iraq Policy 
President Obama announced late last week that the US intelligence community had just determined that the Syrian government had used poison gas on a small scale, killing some 100 people in a civil conflict that has claimed an estimated 100,000 lives. Because of this use of gas, the president claimed, Syria had crossed his "red line" and the US must begin to arm the rebels fighting to overthrow the Syrian government. Setting aside the question of why 100 killed by gas is somehow mor

Prepare! ? Three MEGAS Coming & What to Do
"The implicit assumption behind that siren call must be that the inflation rate can be manipulated to reach economic objectives. Up today, maybe a little more tomorrow and then pulled back on command. Good luck with that. All experience demonstrates that inflation, when fairly and deliberately started, is hard to control and reverse." Paul Volcker, Former Fed Chairman, June, 2013Indeed! The St. Louis Fed's adjusted Monetary base shot up from $800 Billion in 2009 to $3.2 Trillion in June 2013.".T

From the Trojan Horse to the Golden Calf—the Power of Deceit
When we consider what might have been, we may weep for the innocents slaughtered in the fulfillment of the Zionist dream that took America to war against Iraq, and Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and Syria, and the ultimate goal of Israel, Iran, we will understand that our youth fought to save Israel's soldiers from facing the death that awaited them on these battlefields while we watched the people of the world turn against the American values that gave us credibility throughout the world and lashed

Drought is a normal recurring feature of the climate in most parts of the world. It doesn’t get the attention of a tornado, hurricane or flood. Instead, it’s a slower and less obvious, a much quieter disaster creeping up on us unawares. Climate change is currently warming many regions, warmer temperatures increase the frequency and intensity of he

  Pentagon Blackout: “Large American Military Force” Deployed to Syrian Border 
The catalyst for the next great war will likely occur somewhere in the middle east. The Americans know this. As do the Russians and the Chinese. And as with the last two ‘great wars,’ the groundwork is being laid well ahead of time. A large American military force disembarked Tuesday, June 4, at the southern Jordanian port of Aqaba – ready for deployment on the kingdom’s Syrian border, DEBKAfile’s exclusive military sources report. The force made its way north along the Aqaba-Jerash-Ajilon mount

Did Roosevelt Goad Japan Into Pearl Harbor Attack? - YouTube
Published on Jun 3, 2013 JBS CEO Art Thompson's weekly news video update for June 3 - 9, 2013. In this week's analysis behind the news video, JBS CEO Art Thompson discusses evidence that President Roosevelt goaded Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941; how China has signed a free trade agreement with Switzerland; how on the one hand the U.S. is restricting Iran's oil sales while on the other hand we are providing a secure environment for Iraq to sell oil to

Iraq Collapse Shows Bankruptcy of Interventionism 
May was Iraq's deadliest month in nearly five years, with more than 1,000 dead - both civilians and security personnel -- in a rash of bombings, shootings and other violence. As we read each day of new horrors in Iraq, it becomes more obvious that the US invasion delivered none of the promised peace or stability that proponents of the attack promised. Millions live in constant fear, refugees do not return home, and the economy is destroyed. The Christian community, some 1.2 millio

The Nobel prize-winning Austrian School economist F.A. Hayek titled his last book The Fatal Conceit to describe the conceit of the notion that socialist central planners could possibly possess all of the detailed knowledge that is in the minds of millions in a market economy to "plan" a socialist economy. His 1974 Nobel prize speech was entitled "The Pretense of Knowledge" and conveyed the same message

Iran's Gold Reserves Surpass 340 tons 
The only explanation for the US/Israel Axis to bully Iran is because the international banking cartel KNOWS GOLD is MONEY, and with it Iran can defend its national sovereignty from predators. See: The US Is Now Trying To Cut Off Iran's Access To Gold.  It's a no-brainer....Libya, Iraq, Malaysia, Venezuela, Syria, and more can tell you so. The banksters have no physical of their own, so they must plunder the gold of others before the heist becomes a world revolution against them.

Financial Treachery & Harsh Consequences 
The most powerful element of the shift has been the movement of gold wealth from Western locations (New York, London, Switzerland) to Eastern locations (China, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong). Most residents of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Western Europe are in shock, constantly distracted by the sweeping disruptive events led by a) unstoppable government deficits, b) the powerful crumble of sovereign bonds, c) the ruinous insolvency of the banking systems, d) the relentless reign of tax terror, and e) the tragic decline of the underlying economies

The whole world is talking about gold
Here we take a look at how, despite calls that the gold bubble is finished, the whole world is still talking about buying gold. Read any financial paper or website and they’ll tell you that the ‘gold-bubble’ is over. This opinion appears to be based solely on price and not much else. When you look at short-term price action on its own then perhaps you can understand how they’ve reached this conclusion. Gold, across many countries, is down sin

Emulate Ron Paul 
I?ve had the privilege of knowing Ron Paul for 37 years. I worked as his chief of staff during his early years in Congress, and he played an important role when I opened the Mises Institute, where he has served as our distinguished counselor ever since. He?s the same person in private life that he is in public: thoughtful, decent, humble, self-effacing, and generous in acknowledging his intellectual debts.

This week, while economists should have been closely considering the implications of the actual bankruptcy of Stockton, California, they instead heaped scorn on the perceived ideological bankruptcy of David Stockman. In other words, Stockman trumped Stockton.Ronald Reagan's former Budget Director contributed "Sundown in America" a multi-page opinion piece to the Sunday New York Times which loudly and eloquently described the illusions of our current economic system.

  Neo-Con War Addiction Threatens Our Future 
William Kristol knows what is wrong with the United States. As he wrote recently in the flagship magazine of the neo-conservatives, the Weekly Standard, the problem with the US is that we seem to have lost our appetite for war. According to Kristol, the troubles that have befallen us in the 20th century have all been the result of these periodic bouts of war-weariness, a kind of virus that we catch from time to time. He claims because of the US "drawdown" in Europe after World War
