Many have wondered if Ron Paul would have run as an independent. Here is his answer: “[I didn't consider running as an independent because] it is absolutely not practical. This would have been a good year to have an alternative and you can’t get much of a showing either on the libertarian side or the green side”…. the Republican and Democratics “parties are going to linger because they [...] Up until 2wks ago I lived on the Dearborn/Detroit border, I’m very used to seeing security posted outside of banks in that area, in any inner city area for that matter.

A cpl weeks ago I noticed a security guard posted on the outside [...] The consumer website of JPMorgan Chase was unavailable on Wednesday afternoon, possibly due to the same hack attack that caused Bank of America to go intermittently dark on Tuesday after threats from a group incensed by the execrable Innocence of Muslims film that has caused turmoil in the Islamic world. “We’re experiencing intermittent issues with Chase.com,” a JPMorgan Chase spokesman told MSN Money. “We apologize for any inconvenience and are working to restore full [...] Obama over the past 9 days… -7 in Rasmussen WHAT???

They turn out not to be the main cause [...] The most senior Syrian politician to defect to the opposition has told the BBC the regime will not hesitate to use chemical weapons if it is cornered. Nawaf Fares, ex-ambassador to Iraq, said unconfirmed reports indicated such weapons might have already been used.

Not too long ago, HSBC called India’s economy a “gasping elephant.” It printed first-quarter GDP of just 5.3 percent. Its politics are in turmoil. The country doesn’t even have a Finance Minister after one recently stepped down. But Mobius, a pioneer in emerging market investing, said [...] U.S. farm exports will drop 2.1 percent from a record in the year that began Oct. 1 as slower economic growth erodes sales of grain, oilseeds and cotton to European Union countries, the government said.

Bankers, governments and investors are preparing for Greece to stop using the euro as its currency, a move that could spread turmoil throughout the global financial system. The worst case envisions governments defaulting on their debts, a run on European banks and a worldwide credit crunch reminiscent of the financial crisis in the fall of 2008. A Greek election on Sunday will determine whether it [...] From Zero Hedge: Yesterday, Austrian finance minister Maria Fekter ruffled the unelected Italian PM’s feather by saying “forget Spain, Italy is next in the bailout line” – a statement which as expected was promptly loudly refuted, mocked, and scorned by everyone possible: the type of reaction that only the truth can possibly generate in Europe. So far so good: after all the typical European reaction to any instance of the truth is loud screams [...]

By Nick Malkoutzis Trying to predict how Greeks will vote on June 17 in the midst of the turmoil created by the country’s grueling economic crisis and the disorientating political transition is a thankless task, but the latest Public Issue poll for Kathimerini indicates we might get a clear result. More so than at any other point over the last few weeks, Public Issue suggests that SYRIZA has built a commanding — [...] What’s the difference between today’s global finance system and a Ponzi scheme? This is the question that a 56-year-old veteran Russian financial scammer has been asking his victims. As Bloomberg Points Out, chillingly, he almost has a point. Sergei Mavrodi is one of the most infamous names in Russia’s recent history. Back in February 1994, amid the turmoil of the country’s transition to a market economy, the mathematician organized a Ponzi scheme [...] Press Release: June 5, 2012

Coxe shocked KWN by saying that Europe is actively working to introduce gold backed bonds.

With global stock markets in turmoil, gold on the move, and panic in Europe, today Michael Pento, of Pento Portfolio Strategies, writes exclusively for King World News to let readers know exactly why markets are melting down. Here is what Pento had to say about the situation: “Most investors and market pundits continue to misdiagnose the reason behind the worldwide economic malaise. The underlying problem isn’t ‘uncertainty’ or any other platitudes [...] WTF? Greece tax evasion: 4000 citizens owe €15 billion or each citizen owes €3.75million in average!via Guardian: Prospects of Greece securing a debt deal that might save the eurozone from further turmoil were eclipsed on Monday by the news that some of the nation’s leading celebrities have been hoodwinking the taxman for years. As the world frets over the country’s increasingly unmanageable debt burden, the finance ministry has revealed that 4,151 Greeks owe €14.9bn (£12.4bn) to the state – more than the €14.5bn bond repayment Athens has to make [...] From FT: Whichever way you look at this troubling situation, last week’s intensification of deposit flight in Greece is much more than just a new wrinkle in what has become a protracted European crisis. If the phenomenon spreads, and it will in the absence of a credible region-wide policy response, control of Greece’s destiny within the eurozone would slip even further away from politicians and policymakers and more directly into the [...] John Taylor, founder of the world’s largest currency hedge fund FX Concepts, spoke with Bloomberg Television’s Sara Eisen and Erik Schatzker this morning and said that the euro is poised to rebound ahead of Greek elections next month before resuming its decline against the dollar. Shrinking order books will force Britain’s manufacturing sector to cut output over the next three months, the CBI said.

With global stock markets tumbling, along with gold and silver, today King World News interviewed John Embry, Chief Investment Strategist of the $10 billion strong Sprott Asset Management. Embry discussed gold and other major markets, but first, here is what Embry had to say regarding recent derivatives turmoil: “This makes me very uncomfortable because I’ve always been very wary of the whole derivative situation. I believe the notional value of the [...] From Pragmatic Capitalism: In addition to the economic slowdown, the continued housing crisis, the endless turmoil in Europe, and the deceleration in China and India, we are moving closer to the period where the so-called ‘fiscal cliff’ will become more of a threat to the market. The fiscal cliff refers to the near-simultaneous January 2013 expiration of the Bush tax cuts, the payroll tax cuts, emergency unemployment benefits, and the sequester established in [...] Published on May 10, 2012 by RussiaToday Political parties in Greece are struggling to come up with a power-sharing coalition deal, sending the crisis-hit country into further turmoil.

However, it is a close call, and we worry about a re-run of the 2010 and 2011 experience—the [...] |
