The man who may have saved the world is Stanislav Petrov who was one of those bureaucrats who received a report that the US had launched nuclear missiles on a first strike to Russia. Normally, he should have reported the attack to his superiors but did not perhaps on a gut feeling it was a computer […]

Bureaucrats are the ones really behind the scenes that control the economic events. The idea that we actually have a democracy is truly just propaganda. A democracy is where you vote on each issue. Many states have such things in place at least partially as various propositions are submitted to the people in California. We […]

QUESTION: Marty, Is it true to say that… If we run the printing presses full-bore, then inflate, we will then be able to at least re-boot with a new currency and start again BUT… We are on the path of going on the mother of all tax hunts, causing catastrophic deflation and being on a trajectory toward the Mad Max scenario? In other words, neither are pretty […]

QUESTION:  Dear Martin, In your last post you say that sovereign debt crisis may be postponed for 8.6 years.  Would this delay the phase transition in the Dow and other US share markets.  Thank you for your posts, me and others I talk to read your blog everyday.

When the USA started bombing Libya, even support for Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi was at 85% and at its lowest point it was 15%. Today,  57% of voters not affiliated with either […]

The Bankers have the Fed investigating the regulations in a very clever bid to trade wildly once again your and other people’s money. They are claiming that in the bond markets “Regulations have created multiple constraints likely to curtail liquidity when it is really needed.” This is the statement made by the ill-fated Treasury Borrowing Advisory […]

If anyone believes whatever the government or politicians say is the truth, then you have your head in the sand. Edward Snowden has revealed what the NSA has really been up to. They have access to the SWIFT system of all bank transfers. They are monitoring all money movements everywhere. Anyone who truly believes these […]

A very serious problem is lurking behind the entire NSA affair. Are they giving information to their “partners” who have been feeding them private and personal information crossing the line into Industrial Espionage? Reports are surfacing that the NSA has been spying on the Brazilian oil company Petrobras, and Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff is making the allegation.

QUESTION: Is it now illegal to store cash and gold in a safety deposit box? ANSWER: They have not yet enacted an actual law prohibiting the storage of “money” in a safe deposit box.
