04.17.26- Silver’s Next Wave Starts Now
Adam Sharp

Precious metals are starting to get their shine back.

Silver is now up $10/oz from its recent low of around $70/oz. Gold is up more than $400 from its dip to $4,400/oz.

Bullion is looking good here. Read More

04.15.26- Taxing, Borrowing, and Printing:
Three Ways America Pays for Government
Stefan Bartl

Government is expensive, and America is running up the bill to the tune of $40 trillion. Every April, Americans are reminded of this basic truth. On April 15, the IRS forces citizens to confront what the government takes directly from their income. But taxation is only one way Washington finances itself. It also borrows on a massive scale and operates within an inflationary monetary environment that quietly erodes the purchasing power of the dollar. To understand America’s public finances and the broader health, or malaise, of the republic, one must look at taxes, borrowing, and inflation. Read More

04.13.26- Time Is Not on Trump’s Side
David DeGerolamo

Let’s stop pretending that Iran is a poor Arab country with poorly educated people. Their current President is a heart surgeon. They rank 4th in the world for IQ based on the 2026 Average IQ by Country rankings from the International IQ Test; much higher than the United States which was 39th.

What is their plan for this war? Time. The above picture shows the cliffs on the Iranian Persian Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz. They are embedded with military installations to hold off any invasion. Their western and eastern borders are large mountain ranges. In other words, an invasion would be suicide. Just ask Iraq.

04.10.26- This Is Going To Be A Complete And Utter Disaster For The Global Economy
Michael Snyder

Iran is still holding traffic through the Strait of Hormuz hostage, and the entire world is going to suffer. Before the war, commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz flowed freely, and the global economy functioned normally. But even though there is a temporary ceasefire, Iran continues to maintain a stranglehold on the waterway, and they are insisting that this will continue to be the case when a permanent deal to end the war is reached. In other words, the Iranians are making it clear that this is how things are going to operate from now on, and they know that the U.S. and Europe are not eager to do what it would take militarily to reopen the Strait.

04.08,26- Resource Wars and
the Accelerating Big Reset
Willem Middelkoop

When I wrote The Big Reset in 2013, I argued that the post-1971 dollar-based monetary system, built on the quicksand of endless debt, suppressed gold prices, and American financial dominance, was unsustainable. I predicted a coming reboot where gold would reclaim its role as a monetary anchor, the dollar would lose its exclusive reserve status, and powers like China and Russia would force a multipolar order. In the afterword, I warned that it could lead to war first. The events of early 2026 have not only validated that thesis but also accelerated it dramatically. Read More

04.06.26- A Storm Is Coming: High Prices and Slowing Growth Are Converging
Peter Reagan

Sometimes life doesn’t space things out for you.

It stacks them.

A broken appliance. A medical scare. A bill you weren’t expecting. None of those things are unusual on their own – but when they arrive together, that’s when it starts to feel overwhelming. Read More

04.03.26- The American Dream now includes an exit strategy
James Hickman

After the second active shooter scare at his 8-year-old’s school, Michael Le Blanc decided he’d had enough of Los Angeles. The 56-year-old and his wife packed up their two kids and moved to Lisbon.

His story was one of dozens featured in a recent Wall Street Journal article about Americans are leaving the country in record numbers.

Americans residing in Portugal have increased 500% since COVID. More Americans moved to Germany last year than Germans moved to America. Requests to renounce US citizenship jumped 48%. Read More

04.01.26- The Power of Sunrise
Justin O. Smith

The French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre argued that human beings are condemned to freedom — that we are always responsible not only for our actions but for how we interpret them. In existential terms, one cannot hide behind ideology or collective narratives. If you believe an act was necessary, even just, then your lack of remorse may reflect a deeply integrated moral framework rather than moral deficiency. The discomfort may stem from external voices insisting that your interior landscape should look different.  Read More

03.27.26- America's Cost Of Living Is Exploding – These Numbers Are Alarming
Peter Reagan

There are a few ways economists try to measure how the economy is doing.

Gross domestic product is the one you’ll hear about most often. It gets reported, revised, debated – and then repeated as shorthand for “everything is fine.” But if you’ve ever stood in a grocery aisle lately or looked at home prices in your area, you already know something doesn’t quite add up.

The Farce of “Independent” Central Banks
Nick Giambruno

When Zimbabwe makes the news, it’s rarely for good reasons.

There’s a good reason for that.

The country has spent years in a state of perpetual crisis.

Hyperinflation obliterated its currency and decimated the economy. Read More

03.23.26- Tax Season Will Bring Record Refunds. Use Them Wisely
Marc Cadin

Affordability is the defining economic challenge for millions of Americans. A recent poll found that 70% of Americans report that the cost of living is no longer affordable where they live, a concern that was highlighted in the most recent elections. From rising housing costs to the grocery aisle to the electricity bill, families are struggling to stay afloat. Read More

03.20.26- The Real Causes
of the American War of Secession
Doug Casey

I wish to disabuse you of something you’ve probably believed since you were ten years old. Only a third of you have been subjected to the American public school version of history, but that version has permeated throughout the world. After all, the winners get to write the history books. What Americans are taught about their so-called “Civil War” is, in good measure, a fairy tale. Read More

03.18.26- Private Equity Killed Grandma

Private equity.

The term once seemed sophisticated and mysterious.

Now it’s usually uttered as a curse.

For example, a friend recently lamented that, “Private equity just bought Jersey Mike’s. They’re going to ruin it…” Read More

03.16.26- The Two-Tier Economy Most Americans Can’t Escape
Peter Reagan

One of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to understand the economy is focusing only on the surface.

Headlines tell us what happened today. But they rarely explain why.

And often the deeper forces shaping the economy aren’t obvious at first glance.

Sometimes you have to step back and look at several seemingly unrelated stories together before the pattern becomes clear. Read More

03.13.26- A global food price shock looms
as Middle East war rages on.
Here’s who will be hit hardest
Lee Ying Shan

The Middle East conflict has disrupted trade through the Strait of Hormuz and its impact could ripple far beyond the energy markets, risking a spike in global food prices.

The strait is not only a key artery for oil and gas shipments but also for fertilizers critical to global agriculture. Analysts told CNBC disruptions could feed through to higher farming costs, reduced crop yields and ultimately more expensive food. Read More

03.11.26- Will the Dollar be a Casualty of the Iran War?
Ron Paul

President Trump’s unconstitutional and unjust war against Iran is setting back his “affordability” agenda. The war has caused a big rise in gasoline prices. Among the related concerns is the hindering of the movement of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, the only available passage for ships to transport oil from the Persian Gulf. Read More

03.09.26- Are You Prepared For The Worst Global Oil Crisis In More Than 50 Years?
MIchael Snyder

If you have not already done so, I would recommend filling up your vehicle, because it looks like the price of gasoline is going to go much higher. At the very beginning of this war with Iran, the price of oil didn’t rise too much because many investors were anticipating a quick victory over Iran. But now it has become exceedingly clear that there will be no quick victory, and the price of oil is spiking dramatically. Unless something really crazy happens, this is going to be an extended conflict, and that means that the flow of oil out of the Middle East will not return to normal for quite some time. Read More

03.06.26- The Quiet Push to Reshape Your Retirement Savings
Peter Reagan

For most of the 20th century, retirement in America followed a simple model.

You worked for decades, usually for the same employer. Not least because most employers offered a pension. And when you chose to retire, a monthly check arrived like clockwork. The specific amount was based on your pay and years of service. And it was a known quantity – you knew "If I retire next month, I'll get a check for exactly $951 for the rest of my life." So this was a good deal for workers (and by "workers" I mean factory laborers, management – pretty much everybody who isn’t an owner). Read More

02.25.26- Fantasy vs. Reality
Harley Schlanger

When U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee tells Tucker Carlson that “it would be fine” for Israel to claim all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates, and fourteen governments issue a joint condemnation within 48 hours, and the administration’s own tariff proclamation simultaneously admits that the United States faces “fundamental international payments problems”—including the worst current account deficit since 2008, one of the most negative net international investment positions of any developed country—the gap between the fantasy world inhabited by American policymakers and the real conditions of life on this planet becomes impossible to ignore.

02.23.26- Echoes of the Human Struggle ~ 
Truth That Lives and Truth That Dies
Justin O. Smith

In the dim glow of my easy chair, beneath the spell of classic rock anthems, jazz riffs, and soulful blues, my mind drifts through the labyrinth of a life forged in fire. Sixty-nine years on this spinning rock, and a profound sorrow grips me – not for myself, but for America, for humanity’s squandered promise. We enter this world as innocents, brimming with potential, yet too often we descend into baseness, immorality, and outright evil. What does it mean to be human in a world where the Golden Rule is trampled underfoot, where man’s eternal battle against his fellow man and the merciless forces of nature reveals our deepest flaws and rarest triumphs?

Third-quarter gross domestic product grew at a 4.3% annualized pace, far exceeding expectations and marking the biggest expansion in two years.”—Nicole Goodkind, “The Economy Is Heating Up.

02.18.26- National Self-Determination and Individual Liberty
Dr. Wanjiru Njoya

In his book The Essential Rothbard, David Gordon observes that, “Rothbard was no ivory-tower scholar, interested only in academic controversies. Quite the contrary, he combined Austrian economics with a fervent commitment to individual liberty.” One of Rothbard’s important intellectual contributions to defending individual liberty concerns the subject of national self-determination. In his essay “The Nationalities Question,” he depicted national self-determination as “a moral principle and a beacon-light for all nations,” insisting that self-determination is derived from the individual right to self-ownership and “not something to be imposed by outside governmental coercion.” Read More

Graham Summers

The investing world is currently falling for one of the greatest trojan horse operations in history.

The term “trojan horse” relates to the famous Greek poem Aeneid, which chronicles the 10-year siege of the city of Troy by Greek soldiers. In its simplest rendering, after years of failing to enter the city through brute military strength, the Greeks opted for an act of deception. Read More
