Is the coming financial collapse going to be inflationary or deflationary? Are we headed for rampant inflation or crippling deflation? This is a subject that is hotly debated by economists all over the country. Some insist that the wild money printing that the Federal Reserve is doing combined with out of control government spending will eventually result in hyperinflation. Others point to all of the deflationary factors in our economy and argue that we will experience tremendous deflation when the bubble economy that we are currently living in bursts. So what is the truth? Well, for the reasons listed below, I believe that we will see both. The next major financial panic will cause a substantial deflationary wave first, and after that we will see unprecedented inflation as the central bankers and our politicians respond to the financial crisis.

05.22.13- Is America's Economy Being Sovietized?
Does the U.S. economy's path resemble the Soviet template exactly? No. And I'm sure the very suggestion will make the average unaware free market evangelical froth at the mouth. However, as I plan to show, the parallels in our fundamentals are disturbing; the reality is that true free markets in America died a long time ago. Read More |

05.18.13- The Collapse Of Fiat Money by a Falling Energy Supply
However, faith in the dollar is waning as debts, derivatives and dishonesty plague the financial system. Most analysts (including many in the precious metal camp) are wasting time debating over the mere symptoms and not the disease itself. We must remember, debts are nothing more than "Energy IOU's." To pay back a debt, energy has to be burned so the market can generate goods and services. Thus, this allows for growth to continue which provides a surplus of wealth enabling the repayment of debts.

05.17.13- Check this out– IRS scandal is just the tip of the iceberg…
Some days one can’t help but look at the headlines and think of Ayn Rand. With all the destructive measures by desperate governments from Cyprus to Argentina, it seems sometimes like we’re reading from the pages of her seminal work, Atlas Shrugged. But what we’re seeing now seems to have far surpassed Atlas Shrugged. We’re definitely into 1984 territory. We’ve recently learned that the US federal government has (a) secretly tapped the Associated Press’s phone records, and (b) used the nation’s tax authorities to target opposition political groups.

05.16.13- The Federal Reserve Will Panic and Climb Even Higher
Whoa! Investors are acting like it's 2007 all over again. ‘NEW YORK — Emboldened by soaring stock prices and record-low borrowing costs, stock investors are taking out loans against their portfolios at the fastest pace since before the Great Recession hit. ‘So-called margin debt hit $379.5 billion in March, the highest level since July 2007 when such debt hit an all-time record of $381.4 billion, according to the most recent data available compiled by the New York Stock Exchange. ‘The trend signals that investors are more comfortable with stocks and are more willing to use borrowed money to buy more securities in hopes of garnering fatter returns in a hot market that has pushed the Dow Jones industrials up more than 15% in 2013.’Read More |
05.15.13- The Bernanke Agenda - It Isn't What You Think It Is Chairman Bernanke, the engineer of the most manipulated and contrived market rally in history has informed us he won't be making an appearance at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium this year. The reason - a scheduling conflict. Could there be something significant here? He didn't tell us what he sees as more important than one of the biggest events of the year for a central banker. In my opinion it must be a pretty big deal. Here's what I think - by August the market will have imploded once again and world economic leaders will be "circling the wagons" to offer up an epic solution to our global economic dilemma.

05.14.13- QE3 – Pay Attention If You Are in the Real Estate Market The challenge for Ben Bernanke and the Fed governors since the 2008 bailouts has been how to deal with the backlog of fraud – not just fraudulent mortgages and fraudulent mortgage securities but the derivatives piled on top and the politics of who owns them, such as sovereign nations with nuclear arsenals, and how they feel about taking massive losses on AAA paper purchased in good faith.

05.13.13- Steve Forbes: Fed Sinking Real Economy; Calls QE's "Titanics"
First, on the precipitous drop in gold, Forbes explains: I think what you saw there was anticipation that there'd be a huge rise in inflation because of the major increases in money—money printing done by the Federal Reserve. And so, starting in 2011, when we had one of these QE's, gold reached a peak of almost $1900/ounce. But what the Federal Reserve did is that it indeed did print up the money and then, what I don't think the gold market fully grasped until recently, was that the Fed then sterilized the money.

05.11.13- Insanity Cubed
What do we see with our politicians, bankers, economists, and media talking-heads? Bludgeon your way through all of the obfuscation; and we see that most of our economic problems are derived directly from two, failed policies: excessive money-printing and excessive debt. Yet what are the only two “solutions” for these problems being proposed by Western governments (and their apologists in the Corporate Media) today? Even more-extreme money-printing, and even more-extreme debt-creation. Putting out the fire with gasoline. Insanity. Read More |

05.08.13- The Greatest Lie the Fed Ever Told
At the start of last week, it was widely reported that US central bankers had gone as far as they were willing to go. There were voices in the Fed, said the news, urging caution. There would be no further monetary stimulus measures, said the commentators. Investors grew cautious. But by the end of the week, they were rolling the dice again. The Fed was working hard to fight the impression that it had either lost its nerve or recovered its senses. From The New York Times: Read More |
05.07.13- Correcting Gresham's Law
Conversely, merely because a principle (or so-called "Law") expresses a simple thought does not mean it automatically conveys some "important/elementary truth." Instead, sometimes "simple" is merely simplistic. Closer examination reveals that the principle lacks validity, generally due to a combination of faulty conceptual understanding and the use of misleading semantics. This is precisely what one finds on any rigorous analytical scrutiny of the economic/monetary myth known as Gresham's Law. First however, for those readers not familiar with this dogma: definition of terms. "Gresham's Law" expresses the seemingly obvious idea that in any economy "good money will drive out bad money."

05.06.13- The US Federal Reserve: What a Humiliating Failure!
But the accident hasn't happened yet. So most people have stopped worrying about it. They smell the liquor on the driver's breath. But they get on the bus anyway. Why not? At least the Federal Reserve is trying…even if they see little actual good coming from it. The New York Times reports: The Federal Reserve is making modest progress in its push to reduce the unemployment rate. But that is not the jobs goal Congress actually established for the Fed. The central bank is supposed to be maximizing employment. And on that front, it is not making progress. Read More |
05.04.13- Bye-Bye, Bernanke… Hello Timmy? Can you do it? If so, you should apply to be the next Fed chairman – because that's exactly what he or she will need to figure out how to do for the economy. You know the story by now: in response to the US economic crisis of 2008, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke inundated the US financial system with trillions of dollars, an unprecedented gambit designed to reflate a rapidly deflating economy. And you have to hand it to him: phase one of his plan worked well. Stocks are at all-time highs, housing has recovered, and virtually all asset prices are inflated. Read More |
05.03.12- How the Fed Creates Bull and Bear Markets
While it's no secret that loose monetary policy on the Fed's part benefits stocks and can lead to credit bubbles, researchers tend to underestimate the effect tight money policy has in creating market crashes and economic recessions. Restrictive money policy on the Fed's part has frequently led to falling stock prices. The extent and duration of the monetary tightness is what determines the severity of the bear market. The longer the Fed restricts money, the more severe the downturn will be. Read More |
