The LIBOR Scandal Is a Sham Engineered by Central Banking Elites?
July 05, 2012

Madame Lagarde Prolongs the Pain

God Has Risen in a Particle?
July 03, 2012

Barclays Scandal, Worse and Worse … Whatever It Is!
July 02, 2012
The Barclays scandal grows worse and worse. So here's a question: If you asked the average man on the street what the fuss was about, what answer would you get? And if you told him the LIBOR rate was subjective anyway, what would be the response? And that Barcl ...
Financial Crime Must Be Punished!
July 02, 2012
The bankers are up to no good. This is a fact and the poll referred to above is further evidence of it. Eventually, laws must be changed and hearings must be held to ensure that the financial industry is made as transparent and honest as every other part of Wes ...
Does Announced EU Deal Leave Out Critical Elements?
June 29, 2012
Jim Rogers's analysis of the "deal" that has been reached by top EU "policymakers" (excerpted above) is probably accurate. Apparently, EU leaders will now be able to lend to banks without further degrading their various countries' credit status. But why filling ...

EU Continues to Go Down the Wrong Track
June 27, 2012

June 27, 2012

June 26, 2012

One World Government: Conspiratorial Fantasies or Reality Check?
June 26, 2012

Forty Million Houses in the US That No One Needs?
June 25, 2012
40 million houses too many ... one explanation for falling prices ... This article originally appeared in early February but is still being picked up around the web – and it certainly provides us with a shocking observation. In fact, it is worth commenting on ...
The EU … Not So Beneficial After All, but Certainly Hypocritical
June 25, 2012
All the dirty laundry is being aired now. This UK Telegraph article explains it succinctly in the above excerpt. As we've pointed out in the past, the EU exercise, especially the euro, was an exercise in cynicism. The idea was to implement a currency union, whi ...
The Carbon Charade Continues
June 25, 2012

June 22, 2012

With Economists Like These, Who Counts on a Recovery?
June 21, 2012

Leading Global Warming Advocate Recants! … 'Models Fail Dramatically …'
June 21, 2012

On the Vineyard, Secret Service Partied Like Rock Stars: The Psychopathology of Government 'Work'
June 21, 2012
The Secret Service is much in the news for their partying ways. But to be shocked at the behavior of the young men and women in the Secret Service is perhaps to betray a naïveté about the way government really works. In this article, we'll try to shed some li ...
Back to the Future … Millennium-Old Thaler Seen for Northern EU as Elite Dream Dies?
June 20, 2012

BRICs to Create Own 'Currency'?
June 20, 2012

Fed Lies Unravel … Bank Board Gave US$ 4 Trillion in Loans to Its Own Institutions
June 19, 2012

Are You Kidding? SEC Now to Supervise US Ratings Agencies
June 18, 2012
The SEC couldn't regulate a paper bag. It was set up in the 1930s by global elites to give the appearance of a Wall Street cop without providing the reality. It's part of Washington's larger dysfunction and is only notable because of its brief, which is to appr ...
Georgism was a Fabian Policy?

Goldman Ponders the Possibility of World Depression

Economist Portrait of Insider Trading Judge Trivializes Contradictions
June 14, 2012

Thanks, Mavrodi … Monetary Psyop Now in Full Bloom?
June 12, 2012

Cutting the Budget is Bad? So Says the Bipartisan Policy Center
June 11, 2012
This article in The Fiscal Times is a bit strange because it doesn't seem to come to a conclusion about upcoming automatic cuts by Congress. We will, though. The Fiscal Times is a project of billionaire Pete Peterson, a Wall Street mogul who is surely a scion o ...
Did Jefferson Davis Work for Money Power? … Was the Civil War a Gigantic False Flag?
June 11, 2012

Rand Paul Endorses Mitt Romney, Shows Us the Difference Between Father and Son
June 08, 2012
Rand Paul endorsing Mitt Romney is a bit strange. We question the necessity and we are interested in the reasoning. On the surface, to us it doesn't make much sense. But on a deeper level it illustrates the differences of vision between father and son. This art ...
Directed History of Syrian War?
June 08, 2012
It is surprising to see what we call directed history at work. From Tunisia to Egypt and then Libya and now Syria, Western powers are manufacturing pretexts for wars and toppling governments. Syria is the next to go but probably not the last. They are working t ...
The Madness of Market Euphoria
June 07, 2012
Or are they? Europe is failing, China just cut interest rates and US markets moved up hard on a hope and a prayer. The hopeful prayer was that Ben Bernanke would cut interest rates – or that he intends to. Why this would cause the Dow to climb some 300 points ...
The JOBS Act at FreedomFest: Jump-Starting Wealth?
June 07, 2012
What is a public market? It's whatever (mostly US) regulators say that it is. But now, for the first time in about 75 years, public markets are undergoing an evolution. The evolution, it would seem, is spelled "JOBS Act." Recently, Daily Bell Chief Editor Antho ...
