 America's Forgotten War Against the Central Banks |
| "Let me issue and control a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes
its laws." (Mayer Amschel Rothschild, Founder of Rothschild Banking Dynasty)
Many prominent Americans such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and
Andrew Jackson have argued and fought against the central banking polices used
throughout Europe.
A note issued by a central bank, such as the Federal Reserve Note, is bank
currency. These notes are given to the government in exchange for an interest-bearing

| The Secret of Wealth Preservation - Jeff Nielson |
| We have a failure to communicate. The vast
majority of the investment public in the Western world has no understanding –
at all – about how to preserve and protect their wealth. Of the minority of the
investment community with some understanding of wealth preservation, almost
invariably it is a flawed understanding.
Understanding wealth preservation begins
with having a detailed and correct understanding of
“money”.

| China Potentially Threatens a Near Term Us Treasury Short Squeeze! |
| Problems in China are looming on top of an already very tenuous and misunderstood
situation in the US Financial Markets. Additionally, Federal Reserve Policy has
made the situation even more combustible!
As a result of a Trump Victory inspired bond market massacre there are now
few places that a yield starved world can presently find better risk-adjusted
yields than in US Treasuries. With China now being forced to sell their FX

| Financial crisis dynamics, the ‘shadow’ gold demand, and Mene |
| The study of financial crises is as old as the economics discipline itself. One of the most prominent theorists of financial crises ever to hold a senior Federal Reserve policy position was John Exter, vice-president of the New York Federal Reserve during the 1950s. Several years ago I co-wrote a series of essays on Exter’s theories together with his sonin- law, Barry Downs. In this paper, building on Exter’s work, including his eponymous ‘pyramid’, I introduce a new ‘hourglass’ framework for unSaturday, November 14, 2020 |

| With gold up 26% year-to-date and silver up 41%, and stock and bond markets looking increasingly precarious, it’s time to start thinking about the upcoming wealth transfer. If Mike is right about what’s ahead for gold and silver, we’ll soon be part of a life-changing shift. Have you thought about how the wealth transfer might affect you?

 | Steve Saville - Speculative Investor |
| What should the gold/silver ratio be |
| The price of gold is dominated by investment demand* to such an extent that nothing else matters as far as its price performance is concerned. Investment demand is also the most important driver of silver’s price trend, although in silver’s case industrial demand is also a factor to be reckoned with. In addition, changes in mine supply have some effect on the silver market, because unlike the situation in the gold market the annual supply of newly-mined silver is not trivial relative to the exisSunday, April 5, 2020 |

| Ron Paul: ‘When Our Financial System Crashes…The Elites…Will Suffer The Least’ |
| When the housing bubble popped in 2007, the Federal Reserve went to work to re-inflate the bubble by printing more money – quantitative easing. But the policy has made matters much worse, as now everything is a bubble, and according to Ron Paul, when it bursts, only the elite will come out unscathed.
The Federal Reserve has once again created an artificial and unsustainable economic bubble. Central planning still doesn’t work, and the sooner we move to sound money the better. Ron Paul discusses Sunday, December 30, 2018 |

| The opening chapters of Michael Lewis’s new book, The Fifth Risk, detail the carelessness of the Trump transition team in the months leading up to his swearing-in as president. Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie led the team, with its binders full of possible agency chiefs, before he was summarily canned by Steve Bannon, who would be dumped soon himself by the ascending Golden Golem of Greatness.

| Warning: the Bond Bubble Has Crossed "the Line in the Sand." |
| As we have been warning repeatedly over the last few months, the Powell Fed is totally unlike the Bernanke or Yellen Feds.
Former Fed Chairs Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen were “married” to the bull market in stocks. Indeed, from 2009 to 2016 it became a running joke that the moment the stock market began to break down, Bernanke or Yellen would issue a statement that the Fed was “ready to act” or some other accommodative phrase.
Stocks would erupt higher. And the bull market remained intact.

| The financial system just gave us a big “tell.”
First and foremost, the US Dollar has taken out both its bull market trendline AND critical support.
The technical damage here is severe. We will get bounces, but the bull run is over. This is effectively the currency market saying “inflation is a coming.”
Secondly, the TIP: TLT (inflation/ deflation) ratio has broken out of a massive triangle pattern to the upside (in the INFLATION direction).

| Bond Yields Are Rising in Germany, Japan, and Worst of All, the US |
| As if we didn’t have enough reasons to be concerned about stocks already, the bond market is blowing up again.
Why does this matter?
Because the entire move in the financial markets since 2008 has been based on Central Banks cornering the bond market. In the simplest of terms, Central Banks dealt with the crash in one major asset class (housing) by creating a bubble in another even more senior asset class (government bonds).
Because these bonds are the backbone of the current financial systemThursday, September 20, 2018 |

| Eat Gold |
| Submitted by BullionStar.com
A popular phrase in segments of the mainstream financial media is that “You Can’t Eat Gold”. We don’t know who first uttered this comment, but it was more than likely a talking-head or Wall Street analyst on CNBC or Bloomberg.
The disparaging claim seems to be based on concluding that in a financial or monetary crisis, if you own gold, that “You Can’t Eat It”. And so, according to the logic of whoever came up with the phrase, this would make gold useless during a finMonday, August 13, 2018 |
