Mac Slavo
Just a couple years ago we reported that the U.S. military was involved in war gaming scenarios that included training for scenarios such as large scale economic collapse and civil unrest. Photos from the training exercises showed simulated situations that included protesters holding up “We Need Food Now” signs. It was a clear sign that the government is preparing for just such an event, and that they were training military [...] Mac Slavo
Joel Skousen, one of the world’s foremost experts on home security, retreat preparedness and strategic relocation, says that no preparedness plan is complete unless you’ve taken into account the single most critical threat we face during a widespread emergency. The number one threat that I concentrate on. It’s not terrorism, it’s not natural disaster, it’s not even government or war. The major threat is population density. Because every crisis that [...] One week ago, when we reported the news that the Bundesbank had secretly pulled two thirds of its gold from London we said the following: … Germany has done nothing wrong! It simply demanded a reclamation of what is rightfully Germany’s to demand.
And here is the crux of the issue: in a globalized system, in which every sovereign is increasingly subjugated to the credit-creating power of the globalized “whole”, one must leave all thoughts [...] On October 24, a French appeals court threw the book at former junior trader Jérôme Kerviel who, in 2008, had been hung out to dry by his employer, French mega-bank Société Générale, for having—so alleged the bank—blown €4.9 billion of its money in just about no time. He’d risked up to €50 billion with trades the Banking Commission later called “simple,” far beyond his limit of €125 million. Kerviel never [...] The crux of the “pain for Spain” was exposed in August, when the world learned that despite all attempts to the contrary, Spanish banks are no longer perceived as safe by the locals, and the result was a record 5% deposit outflow in one month from local banks: cash that was promptly redeposited elsewhere in the Eurozone. And as money flow theorists know all too well, if cash is exiting the Spanish [...] From The Daily Crux: The Financial Post reports Israel – long considered a loser in the Middle East “oil lottery” – sits atop an enormous shale oil and gas formation. Geologists estimate the Shfela Basin contains some 250 billion barrels of oil. This is just one of several formations discovered within Israel’s borders. The discovery has major implications for Israel… but they aren’t the only ones. U.S. and Canadian companies have pioneered horizontal [...] Helen A.S. Popkin [...]On Tuesday, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that law enforcement officials don’t need a warrant to track suspects via cellphones. Attorneys argued to overturn [Melvin] Skinner’s many convictions, citing that the GPS location information that led to the defendant’s arrest was obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment, which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. This didn’t wash with the majority of judges [...] From Richard Russell in Dow Theory Letters: Is it a bear market or isn’t it? With the stock market apparently stuck in a narrow trading range, many investors are confused as to the trend. A better question is – ”Is there a trend?” My answer is, “Yes, there is a trend. And the main or primary trend of the market is bearish. We’re now in the very early stages of a bear market.” Why do I [...] From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire: You can save more than $81 a year with just one tip: stop using the mail to pay your bills. The average U.S. household pays 15 bills a month. And with the Postal Service recently jacking up the cost of stamps to $0.45, you could be paying $81 a year just on postage. But many companies are making it easier for customers to pay bills without [...] From Richard Russell in Dow Theory Letters: IMPORTANT – Dow Theory – The D-J industrial Average recorded a high of 13,279.32 on May 1, 2012. This Dow high was not confirmed by the Transports. The two averages then turned down and broke below their April lows. This action confirmed that a primary bear market is in progress – it was a textbook bear signal. Russell comment – I consider the April-May action to be a continuation of a primary bear market [...] From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire: Watermelon is my next miracle food… Eating watermelon helps reduce inflammation. Regular readers know inflammation is probably the biggest (and most underappreciated) health risk people face. Diseases directly linked to inflammation include heart disease, arthritis, and high blood pressure. Watermelon is loaded with inflammation-fighting antioxidants, including vitamins A and C. And it’s a great source of lycopene – a carotenoid (antioxidant than gives carrots their color) [...] by Joe Hand it to Paul Krugman: He’s not out to make friends. Today he appeared on ABC’s Sunday morning show, This Week, and then immediately afterwords wrote a blog post basically calling all of his other panelists dumb. Those other panelists, by the way, included such names as Google’s Eric Schmidt, Carly Fiorina, former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, George Will, and David Walker. As Krugman sees it, all these “serious people” spout nothing but cliches (entitlement reform! more education! [...] From The Reformed Broker: Did you see that thing at the Coachella Music Festival this weekend where they “brought Tupac back to life“ as a hologram to perform alongside Dre and Snoop? It was pretty sick. [Crux Note: Video contains explicit language.] Now everyone is pondering the possibilities of returning the likes of Kurt Cobain, Bob Marley, Elvis, and others back to the stage using this technology. It’s already been announced that a regular Tupac [...] From The Daily Crux: It’s not exactly headline news when a government official lies, but today, we read about a lie so big and so dumb that we had to share it. Argentine central bank president, Mercedes Marcó del Pont – who was handpicked by president Cristina Kirchner two years ago to do her bidding – recently claimed “it is totally false to say that printing more money generates inflation.” Governments usually try to [...] Thanks to rampent unemployment and they are cashing out their 401ks to pay down debt and buy food, if it is for their direct families or for their elderly parents who are trying live live on a barely COLA’d SS. Meanwhile, the institutional investors (CBs) are creating more rampant inflation by leveraging debt in a way never seen in any society, and doing so by using a fiat based system. This [...] The Crux of The Nature of Empire by John Michael Greer: People use the word Empire as a symbol of evil (e.g. David Korten) or order and peace (e.g. Niall Ferguson). But the actual meaning is this: From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire: Regular readers know how much aromas mean to your health. Aromas make my “Top 12 Ways to Improve Your Health” list every year. That’s because different smells can relax you, invigorate you, and improve your mood. Some aromas like pumpkin and lavender (mixed together), can even improve your sex life. But your cold medicines may be damaging your sense of smell without realizing it. In 2009, [...] From John Heffern at The Project to Restore America: I did my part!!! – Todd Heffern comment: The brushfires are burning. The results from Virginia’s primary are in, and the people have spoken. Mitt Romney collected 158,053 votes (59.5%) to Ron Paul’s 107,480 (40.5%). Paul’s 40.5% was by far his strongest showing since he began his presidential candidacy. Virginia had an open primary, which means there is no requirement that you be a registered [...] From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire: Unplugging appliances is a quick way to save on your energy bills. I know people who plug their appliances into a power strip to help them save. (Instead of turning off several appliances, you can just turn the power strip off.) But many of these people admit they forget to turn the power strip off before leaving home. Now there’s a way to prevent that. The [...] From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire: There’s a simple way to organize all your finances… and an easy way to avoid overspending. Mint.com is a free online program that automatically categorizes spending, creates budgets, and helps you set goals. To get started with Mint, you enter you bank accounts, trading accounts, credit cards, and loans onto Mint’s secure website. You’ll need the username and password you use to access your different accounts. But [...] From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire: There’s no cure for Alzheimer’s. Medications are available to treat some of the symptoms (like memory loss and mood swings). But the side effects can be severe… and are known to worsen the older the patient is. The best thing you can do to stave off Alzheimer’s is to live a healthy lifestyle. Eat a healthy diet. A healthy diet can prevent inflammation. And you can [...] From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire: When I first started Retirement Millionaire, one of my first pieces of advice was to never retire. People who retire at age 55 die twice as fast as those who keep working. And people who keep working can have more confidence that they won’t go broke in retirement. But that doesn’t mean you should spend your life chained to a desk and a computer. Retirement Millionaire subscriber Wayne [...] From The Daily Crux: Today we’re passing along a recent editorial fromThe Wall Street Journal titled “A Fairness Quiz for the President.” This short piece speaks for itself, so we won’t repeat it here. But if you’re tired of the rhetoric on taxes coming from the White House, we think you’ll enjoy it… And if you know anyone who believes the “rich” should have to pay their “fair” share, be sure to pass this along.
