“Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.” – Henry David Thoreau

Have you ever noticed how vehemently people react when you question something they believe in instead of ever being able to have an intelligent discussion with him or her? In the below video, Chris Hedges, a Pulitzer Prize winning American journalist, author, and war correspondent, nails the reason that explains why it is so difficult to change a person’s mind when they are committed to believing something even when they are confronted with a mountain of evidence that points to the contrary. Chris states that universities have stripped away humanities and other courses that develop critical thinking skills and instead, due to the historical influences of men like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller, focus on teaching young men and women “what to think” instead of “how to think.” Read the rest of this entry »

I found this discussion between Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert regarding the real reasons behind Hollywood’s Anti-Piracy SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) fascinating and very much worth watching, complete with Max’s unique brand of humor and interesting use of a stuffed kitty to prove his point. Max and Stacy break down Hollywood’s Enron-like accounting methods to reveal their obscenely exaggerated statements regarding the harmful effects of online piracy on their bottom line and discuss how SOPA, if passed, will infringe upon internet speech and freedom and perhaps destroy the fundamental infrastructure of the internet that allows a free exchange of knowledge and ideas. For the reasons discussed in this video, I moved my investment blog from a US-based server to one based in Asia a couple of years ago to prevent the US gov’t from shutting down my blog in response to one of my articles about how the fraudulent global banking and monetary system truly operates. Doing this still may not be enough to protect my blog, however, as governments worldwide seek to pass their own “SOPA” legislation and follow suit. I’ve posted the video below for your enjoyment. A must watch for anyone working in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles and anyone that cares about internet freedom of speech.

My latest appearance on the Max Keiser Report, in which I discuss the MF Global debacle and its connection to collapsing Open Interest in the Gold/Silvers Futures markets. My appearance starts approximately 12 minutes into the interview. Cheers everyone and hope you all are having a happy new year!

We wholeheartedly endorse peaceful revolution, but unfortunately, history tells us that when tyrannies force the majority of the middle class into poverty in any country, violent revolution will result. The banking cartel that controls the US military has been war gaming conditions of massive social unrest for years now with Unified Quest 2011. Whether you believe violent revolution will occur in your country or not, unfortunately this is an important read for everyone because often the signs for violent revolution simmer beneath the surface and are not visible out in the open, leaving millions in countries supremely unprepared to survive should systemic chaos break out. Violent revolution never happens “overnight” but the appearance that it happens overnight is due to the long periods of time it takes for negative conditions to percolate that produce an abundance of pent up frustration and anger in the populace that can explode and build momentum quickly. Look to Yugoslavia as a historic example. Though to the outside world, the Croat and Serb conflict appeared to explode out of nowhere in the early 1990s, political leaders in Croatia had fostered ethnic hatred between Croats and Serbs for at least the prior decade by using centuries-old prejudices to scapegoat each other for the building economic disaster in Yugoslavia. Pent-up ethnic hatred and economic frustration gave the appearance that this civil war seemed to explode “overnight” to the outside world though certainly Croatians and Serbians had seen signs of the impending disaster for years prior. Tensions between Croats and Serbs lead to the extermination of at least 100,000 to 200,000 people, lack of access to gas, water, food and electricity, and 2,500,000 refugees.

Did bankers use the MF Global bankruptcy to suppress gold and silver prices and create the panicked appearance of collapsing precious metals to give themselves additional precious time to delay the crash of the Euro and the US Dollar? As crazy as this sounds, a closer investigation of some key data seems to imply this possibility. Though bankers claim that they created futures markets to provide a mechanism for commodity producers to hedge against volatile market prices, I have never bought the kool-aid the bankers were selling in this explanation for the rationale behind their creation of futures markets. Given that today, futures and spot prices for gold and silver in the short-term are entirely set by banker manipulation of the supply and demand for paper derivatives that often have no backing of any physical metal, I believe that bankers created futures markets for the explicit intent of allowing themselves to manipulate the prices of commodities and to enrich themselves, and themselves only, through the process of alternately and artificially inflating and deflating prices as would not be allowed in any type of free market. In other words, bankers invented futures markets to allow themselves to siphon off and steal money from other parties that wanted to invest in commodities with a mechanism, risk-free to them, that required deception and zero honest work and zero integrity.

Today, gold and silver mining stocks offer the best value by far of any sector in any stock market anywhere in the world. Due to the recent massive volatility that bankers have introduced into the PM stock sector, and the fact that commercial investment advisers worldwide have erroneously re-educated millions of people with the concept that volatility equals risk, the majority of people worldwide will miss a massive opportunity in gold and silver mining stocks over the next several years due to their misguided belief that gold and silver mining stocks cannot escape the throes of banker manipulation.

There has been much acceptance of the theory that Central Banks and bankers perpetually manipulate gold and silver spot prices through the gold/silver futures markets due to strong circumstantial, non free-market evidence such as gold/silver futures prices being significantly higher in Asian futures markets versus Western futures markets for long stretches of time as well as out-and-out flagrant behavior such as the irrational raising of initial and maintenance margins on silver futures five times in nine working days into falling prices instead of into rising prices. For those not aware of the multitude of schemes Central Banks execute to suppress gold and silver futures prices, please refer to this article, JS Kim Uncovers Four Parallel Markets for Gold, when during the Wall Street collapse of 2008, bullion banks (controlled by Central Banks) routinely knocked the gold futures price down by $10, $20, $30 and sometimes even $40 an ounce usually right at market open of the NY COMEX at a time when gold was trading at less than $900 an ounce and such movements reflected 2%+ to 3%+ waterfall movements downward in price (comparatively speaking today, such percent movements would consist of $40 to $50 an ounce movements downward.

Since then, bullion banks have executed this scheme over and over, pulling bids at the market open of the NY COMEX to cause a waterfall decline in gold futures prices in a matter of a few minutes. Throw in for good measure that you can check all US holidays when the COMEX is closed for the past five years and you can find nary a day when gold is not higher or at least about even, simply for the reason that the NY Comex is closed and the Western banking cartel is non-operational in the gold/silver markets on these days.

Below in Volume 3 of my series, “The Truth Chronicles”, I discuss the pitfalls of falling victim to the bankster ruse of their use of partisan politics to cause division among the 99% of us that are victims of their deceive and steal scams.

A very important document, The Utah Monetary Declaration, is now circulating among the citizens of Utah. Though citizens of Utah are attempting to introduce the basic principles of this declaration into the Utah legislature, every citizen of every US state and every citizen of every country in the world should read the below document and note the similarities of the Utah Monetary Declaration to the US Coinage Act of 1972, which protected the freedoms of US citizens until they were destroyed by Central Bankers. You will note that Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers of the Republic of America, penned the US Coinage Act of 1792. Alexander Hamilton was so adamantly opposed to the process by which Central Banks create money today that when he wrote the US Coinage Act of 1792, he believed the no other threat other than the severe penalty of death would prevent bankers from deliberately debasing the value of coined money and thus, usurping the peoples’ freedoms. Today, I’m quite certain that Central Bankers would label the very man that helped found the Republic of America, were he still alive, as a terrorist, for his expressed ideals of freedom oppose all ideologies and principles for which a Central Banker stands.

For six years, SmartKnowledgeU has been revealing dirty secrets about the global commercial investment and banking industry and building considerable wealth for our clients at the same time. The key to earning positive returns in your portfolio during a horrible month for global developed stock markets around the world in August was to concentrate, not diversify, your assets. In fact, this has been the key to earning positive returns in your portfolio for years on end now. From the very first day I launched my newsletter in June of 2007, I have chosen to concentrate, not diversify, my newsletter portfolio in very few asset classes for my analysis for the past several years has told me that only a few asset classes will return significantly positive returns and that diversification is not only a waste of time, but a poor investment strategy. The commercial investment industry calls concentration short-sighted, risky, and foolish, but only because this means that the financial consultants that they hire actually have to be able to allocate portfolios intelligently rather than just spending the bulk of their time dialing-for-dollars to bring in the most fee-based income possible. In my world, concentration of assets is not only an intelligent strategy but one that is far more solid and far more rewarding to my clients. Read the rest of this entry »

(1) On September 9, 2006, I emphatically stated, “We are on the brink of a major global economic crisis” at the very same time economic pundits were calling for a new period of great economic boom and record low unemployment in the near future. Did this happen? CHECK!

(2) At the beginning of September, 2007, when gold was still trading at about $680 an ounce, JS stated that gold would reach $850 by the end of the year. What happened? Gold hit $850 an ounce on January 3, 2008. CHECK!

(3) On my company website, in a statement I posted in January, 2011, I said, “If you don’t understand how we can still be in a crisis when stock markets have risen around the world in 2010 and into 2011, [we still are].” What happened? The Dow Jones Industrial Average just plunged 2,074 points (-16.2%) in the last 15 trading days and the Hang Seng plummeted 3,311 points (-14.5%) in the last 9 trading days. CHECK!
