The Metal of Hope 
In history gold alone has been the money of Kings. However, throughout most of recorded time there has been a metal far more important to the average man than gold. In the ancient of days it was silver alone that could provide the means for a slave to save and eventually purchase his freedom which is why silver became referred to as the Metal of Hope.

  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.

  A WORLD OF LIES BUT GOLD WILL REVEAL THE TRUTH
The dollar is dead but the world doesn’t know it. It has been a slow death and the final stages will be very painful for the US and for the rest of the world. The US empire is finished financially and militarily. Nixon was convicted for the wrong crime It all started with the establishment of the Fed in 1913 and escalated with Nixon. For anyone old enough to still remember him, they will think about the Watergate scandal. This was corruption and bribery at the highest level in the Nixon administ

Top Ten Reasons I Buy Gold Silver [#10] - The One Word Every Fiat Currency Faces: WORTHLESS
You may not know how old your national currency is, or even know what the word “fiat” means, but the following pictorial will tell you what’s happened to all of them.No fiat currency has lasted forever. Eventually, they all fail.That’s the message from Mike Maloney in the first installment of his band new video series, The Top 10 Reasons I Buy Gold and Silver.

Euro “Will Collapse” As Is “House of Cards” Warns Architect of Euro
The Euro “will collapse” as it is a”house of cards” warned Otmar Issing, the founder and creator of the euro in an extraordinary interview on Monday. Paper currency – Euro paper notes and Greek drachma note In the explosive interview with the journal Central Banking, Professor Issing, said “one day, the house of cards will collapse”  as the European Central Bank (ECB) is becoming dangerously over-extended and the whole euro project is unworkable in its current form.

Greece “Demands” Debt Relief, Owes Troika €11+ Billion by July
Irreconcilable Positions Greece owes the Troika over €11 billion in bailout repayments through the end of July. Greece is unable make those payments unless the Troika releases the funds. Position 1: “We need a big debt restructuring, no more kicking the can,” says Greece’s Minister of State. Position 2: Germany offers a possibility of unspecified debt relief, at a future point in time, only if necessary. First, Greece must make another round of budget cuts on top of the pension cuts its just mad

The Greek Tragedy Is A Textbook Debt Deflation
“The Matterhorn Interview – September 2015: Michael Bernegger” Podcast interview: (32 mins) Prior to yesterday’s Fed anti-deflation policy stance Lars Schall talked with Swiss financial analyst Michael Bernegger in an exclusive interview for Matterhorn Asset Management, about his paper “The Greek Tragedy and its solution“ that offers a counter-consensus analysis of Greece’s economic crisis.

Majority of Greeks Now Say Euro Has Harmed Greece
A Gallup poll conducted in May and June but just released today shows Majority of Greeks Say Adopting Euro Has Harmed Country As the Greek debt crisis came to a head again earlier this summer, it's no surprise that leaders in more solvent eurozone countries expressed doubts about Greece's participation in the monetary union -- but these doubts are also widespread among Greeks themselves. A majority of adults in the country -- 55% -- said in a poll conducted May 14-June 16 that they think conve

“Enduring Appeal of Cold, Hard Cash”: Facing Crisis, Demand for Physical, Not Digital, Money
The cashless control grid may still be coming, but it is not going to replace cash anytime soon. Though millions of people have started using digital devices to pay for goods and services, the appeal of physical cash is soaring, not fading away. Outlook for currency production shows an astounding 5 per cent increase per year for the foreseeable future in the printing of bank notes for currencies across the globe. That’s because, in pure and simple terms, people are demanding cash in times of cri

WAITING FOR A BUBBLE TO BAIL US OUT
As usual, I have extremely timely, eminently actionable topics to discuss. And while I’d love to simply talk “big picture,” the collapse of history’s largest, most destructive fiat Ponzi scheme is moving too rapidly to be complacent. Trust me, I’d love to take a well-deserved rest – and man, is it well-deserved. However, the so-called “race to the finish” is on; and as I not only love my job, but feel compelled to do it as well as possible, there’s no way I’m going to slow down any time soon. In

China and Greece Signal a New Round of Deflation
Stocks rallied today because the Fed meets today and tomorrow and traders are conditioned to play for a rally into Fed meetings. Also, stocks had fallen for four days straight prior to this and so we were oversold in the near-term. The larger picture concerns the bursting of China’s stock bubble as well as the ongoing 3rd Greek bailout drama. Regarding China, anyone who actually bothered performing real analysis could have seen that the economic data coming out of that country was totally bogus.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NOW AND LATE 2008
It’s first thing Monday morning; and clearly, the top thought on my mind is the question posed by Saturday’s must hear Audioblog, “has the ‘big one’ commenced?”  To which, in my view, it should be difficult for anyone with an unbiased, realistic view to answer anything but YES! And by the “big one,” I truly mean BIG, per what I have been anticipating since 2011’s “global meltdown II” – i.e., the “point of no return” when the world’s “leading” Central banks realized their post 2008 money printing

Greece, China, and Debt as the Tool of Enslavement
I wonder how much more Greece’s laughable defiance cost it relative to how much it would have cost to just roll over in the first place? That accounting will be a while coming, but rest assured, it will be a politically volatile and useful statistic in the future for a challenger in Greek elections. Interestingly, the best Euro creditors could exact out of Greece from privatization of government assets was $3 billion – barely an interest payment in the grand scheme of things. Its always been u

The Humiliation and Subjugation of Greece
Europe is a fascinating place, but not as interesting as it was before the European Union came into existence. Older travellers may recall the fun of going from one European country to another, with each having its own currency and banknotes which you could scrutinize with interest as you relaxed at various cafes or restaurants. The national stereotypes could still easily be found - Frenchmen on bicycles dressed in blue and white striped shirts and black berets pedaling around selling strings of

The Elite is leading Greece and the World to Perdition
KWN weekly – July 12, 2015 Podcast interview (10 min) In my King World News interview published on July 12, I stated that the Troika and the US will do whatever they can to keep Greece in the EU. To let Greece leave would be the final nail in the European Union coffin. That would start the dominoes of Italy, Spain, Portugal and France falling as well as the European banks. And it would prove that this artificial political and monetary union is a total travesty which was doomed to fail even befo

Piece by piece or all at once
The Greeks voted “no” and should be applauded for their valor!  Knowingly or not, their no vote has added extra cards to their hand.  They now have more options than they would have had with a yes vote.  In fact, Greece still has the only option they would have had with a yes vote (cut a deal for “more aid” and austerity), plus many other which pressure the lenders.  I must say, a “vote” coming from the cradle of democracy CONTRARY to what the banksters wanted is a breath of fresh air! Now what?
