| Why U.S. GDP Hasn’t Really Increased Since 2000 |
| While official sources forecast U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to surpass $20 trillion this year, the real figure is probably much less. So how much less is real U.S. GDP? Well, that depends on how it is measured. If we factor in energy consumption and the increase in total public debt, U.S. GDP is likely less than half of the current figure.Yes, it sounds insane to say that the current U.S. GDP is likely overstated by at least 50%, but if we go by fundamental data, it isn’t that crazy atThursday, March 1, 2018 |

| Dow Jones Tanks As Silver Market Price Bottoming |
| During the last 90 minutes of trading on Wednesday, the Dow Jones Index tanked by 400 points. Supposedly, the steep selloff had something to do with the release of the Fed minutes. However, today, the market has reversed once again and is up by 200 points. Unfortunately for mainstream investors, it doesn’t matter what the Fed or Wall Street have to say; the broader markets will continue to fall precipitously over the next few years.Interestingly, as the indicators point to extreme leverage inFriday, February 23, 2018 |

| Top Gold Producers Mine Supply To Fall Right When Potential Investment Demand To Surge |
| The gold market is setting up for a perfect storm as the top mining producers’ supply is forecasted to decline right when demand is likely to surge. The surge in gold demand will occur as the broader stock markets roll over and begin their inevitable massive correction. Due to the tremendous amount of leverage in the system, the coming market correction will be quite violent at times. If investors believe the correction is over, and high times are here again, then they haven’t learned anythinTuesday, February 20, 2018 |

| THE LEMMINGS ARE HEADING TOWARDS THE CLIFF… AGAIN |
| Did we learn nothing from the tech bubble?
The real estate bubble?
The energy bubble?
Apparently not, as here we go again. The next series of bubbles is now in progress (Bitcoin is the first).
Let me go over again the signs of a bubble. Price will usually rally at least 100% or more in a year or less. A clear sign of out of control human emotions.
Price will stretch 40, 50, or even 100%+ above the long term mean (200 day moving average).

| BREAKING: China - World's Largest Gold Producer Mine Supply Plummets 10 |
| The world's top gold producer saw its mine supply plummet by 10% in the first half of 2017. According to the GFMS World Gold Survey newest update, China's gold production in 1H 2017 fell the most in over a decade. The fall in Chinese gold production is quite significant as the country will have to increase its imports to make up the shortfall in its mine supply
The data in the GFMS 2017 Q3 Gold Survey Update & Outlook reported that Chinese gold mine supply declined 23 mFriday, November 3, 2017 |

| LAST CHANCE FOR THE DOLLAR TO RALLY |
| I think we need to focus on what is happening to the dollar. The intermediate cycle is now 63 weeks long. Clearly that isn’t normal. I’ve maintained for several years that the end game was going to play out in the currency markets. There has to be consequences to printing trillions and trillions of currency units , and leaving interest rates at 0 for 8 years. I don’t think the consequences are going to be deflation. I think the end game will be inflation, just like it was in the 70’s, and just lSaturday, July 22, 2017 |

| The Fed’s Last “Rate Hike” |
| Today, let’s start with one of my “favorite” topics, given my strong belief that OPEC’s highly visible death throes presage the epic level of chaos the gold Cartel will eventually experience when it spectacularly fails – per what I wrote in last month’s “OPEC, like the London Gold Pool, proving Cartel’s always fail.” To that end, no blog I am aware of – outside of those focused principally on energy – has expended more digital ink on this topic – given how confident that, contrary to the all-tiWednesday, June 14, 2017 |

| Earth Overshoot: How Sustainable is Population Growth |
| For decades people have been predicting overpopulation would wipe out energy resources if not the entire planet. Every year the population bomb and peak oil crowd have been proven wrong. But how long can the status quo of generating growth by population explosion last?

| There Is No Such Thing As Peak Oil Demand |
| Notwithstanding that oil demand has increased for over 150 years, it will
eventually stop increasing. If oil demand were to reach an actual peak, then
the top might be easier to predict. As it stands, the forecast models of demand
are likely predicting peak demand far later than it will be.
The so-called balance of supply and demand has always been a moving target,
a race to the top in which the two run neck and neck. Imbalances result from
out-of-step growth rates and not from movemenFriday, March 31, 2017 |

| Trump, Russia and China |
| Even before he takes office, President-elect Trump is turning the world upside down.It has become clear his attitude towards Russia and China is very different from that of his predecessors. Amazingly, he is already wresting power from the deep state, causing it great resentment, which under Obama, Clinton and the Bushes, ran geopolitical policy. From January, barring accidents the world will not be the same, the establishment up-ended.This short article builds on information available to date aFriday, December 16, 2016 |

 Trumpxuberance… Until It’s Not  |
| “Markets shrugged off the Brexit vote in a couple of days. They shrugged off Donald Trump’s election in a single day. They shrugged off the Italian referendum result in a couple of hours. Heck, in this mood they would shrug off an alien invasion of planet Earth.”

| Anniversary of Alternative Reporter’s Death |

We got the very sad news today, Nov. 22, 2015, that Dave McGowan passed away from cancer at 12:47 p.m. – Truth and Shadows
We missed the anniversary of McGowan’s death, which was yesterday, but he was one helluva a writer, exposing in brief books the“directed history” of the modern era. So, we’ll remember him today. We’ve written about him before, here.
He died of an extremely aggressive form of lung cancer, which made some of his fans speculate that he’d actually been assaTuesday, November 22, 2016 |

| What Will It Be America The First, Second, Or Third World |
| On Thursday morning, I wrote “global regime change,” regarding the sweeping political and social revolution the world is undergoing, the result of four-plus decades of cancerous economic decay, historic wealth disparity, and the relentless surge of the cost of living caused by four-plus decades of unprecedented money printing. No matter where you look, people are dispirited, demoralized, and angry; which is why, in the last two years alone, historic votes, referendums, or other forms of regime Monday, November 7, 2016 |

| A New Mission |
| A sabbatical is usually a good thing as it gives a nice opportunity to take a step back, assess, reassess, and potentially relax. I’ve enjoyed the past few months away as I took time to do the above and also to try to impart a little common sense and perhaps some wisdom on the up and coming generation regarding economics, the study thereof, and more importantly, the dire consequences of failing to recognize and follow basic economic laws. So I return, and in many ways, things are not much diffeWednesday, August 31, 2016 |

 Dark Dynamics |

What the world is witnessing, without actually paying much attention, is the death of our debt-based economy — that is, borrowing the means to thrive in the now from a future that can’t really furnish it anymore. The illusion that the future would always provide was a legacy of the cheap energy era. That era ended in 2005. The basic promise is broken and with it the premise for living as we had been. The energy available today, especially oil, isMonday, August 22, 2016 |

 BNEF Report Says Solar Energy, Batteries, Wind Will Dominate, Fossil Fuel Usage to Collapse |
| A Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) report plots out global power markets for the next 25 years.
If accurate, solar energy will soon dominate, and electric cars will go mainstream.
The forecast states coal and gas are in terminal decline because the of the “beautiful math” of declining solar and wind costs.
Peak Fossil Fuel Usage
In contrast to peak oil forecasts that have been in vogue, BNEF says the World is on the Brink of Peak Fossil Fuels for Electricity.

| THE REAL REASON TO INVEST IN SILVER… It’s The Fundamentals |
| The best reason to own silver is based upon underlying market fundamentals. However, most of the markets today aren’t being valued by fundamentals, but rather on Fed and Central Bank interventions. This has destroyed the ability for investors and markets to properly value most assets.I, as well as many precious metals analysts have received some ridicule for getting it wrong on the price movements of gold and silver since 2012. Of course, no one was complaining when the silver price moved upThursday, April 28, 2016 |
