The Affordable Care Act, or Obama Care, has been upheld by the Supreme Court.  As I was watching the mainstream media on television yesterday, the left appeared absolutely giddy.  One of the so-called fact checkers said it would cost around a trillion dollars over the next 10 years.  Fact checkers?

You might think the U.S. is only helping out the people of Syria with humanitarian aide.  In reality, the U.S. has been doing a lot more than that.  It has now been officially reported the U.S. is supplying weapons (through surrogates) to the Syrian rebels in a bloody civil war.  Congressman Ron Paul spelled out what has been happening on the floor of the House yesterday.

Anyone who thinks the U.S. is in recovery should stop listening to the mainstream media and listen to John Williams.  He heads up Shadowstats.com, and is one of the few economists who crunches the numbers to give unvarnished true statistics.  Adjusted for real inflation of about 7%, Williams says, “GDP has plunged, and we have been bottom bouncing” ever since the financial crisis started.  Williams says, “The next crash will be a lot worse (than 2008) because it will push us into the early stages of hyperinflation.”  …

I had the pleasure of being interviewed, last week, by Max Keiser on his show called “On the Edge.”    This show originates in Europe.  Don’t you love technology that can by-pass the MSM?  I sure do!!!   Max pulls no punches, and because of this, you will never see him on mainstream media.  This was a segment that was released a few days ago.  Please enjoy the video after the jump.  –Greg Hunter–

You might remember Dr. Michael Burry as the hedge fund manager who made hundreds of millions of dollars betting on the collapse of the housing market.  You, also, might remember everyone from the mainstream media (MSM) to the Federal Reserve claimed nobody could have seen the 2008 financial collapse coming.  How did Dr. Burry know a financial catastrophe was on the way while most financial experts and media were totally in the dark?

Moody’s dropped a bomb on global banks this week. It handed out credit rating cuts to 15 of the biggest banks in the western world. JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Citi were all cut two notches and Credit Suisse three notches. Since the 2008 financial crisis, it’s really been all about propping up the banks and nothing else. That’s why there has been growing talk of a world-wide money printing drop for weeks now, and one is coming soon.

If you want a no-nonsense look at the world and where we are heading, you talk to a journalist who has seen it all.  James Howard Kunstler began his career in the 1970’s at Rolling Stone magazine.  Thousands of articles and 11 books later, you have a writer with the experience to decipher a very complicated world.

Forget about the outcome of the Greek elections.  The only thing that matters, according to Karl Denninger of Market-ticker.org, is math.   Denninger thinks, “The powers that be are lying about the solvency of institutions and this is doomed to fail.”
He still thinks the financial crisis “detonates before the election,” and “layoff numbers start going back up.”

Forget about the Greek Elections because, in the end, Greece still has to pay its bills.  There probably will not be any one party that will get enough votes to garner a majority, but the anti-bailout party is gaining ground.  Spain is the latest bailout casualty, but it is all a sign of a system in a tailspin of insolvency.

The European debt crisis seems to get worse every day with no real solution in sight, just bailout after bailout.  This may look like it is an effort to save heavily indebted countries, but it is really all about saving insolvent banks.  Charles Biderman, CEO of TrimTabs.com, says, “. . . what we need is a central bank wipeout, which I think we really need to clean the decks so we can go forward and prosper as a globe.”

The UN says that civil war in Syria is “imminent.”  It looks to me it’s been imminent for months.  More than 9,000 people have been killed in the uprising which, at its core, is a fight between Shia and Sunni.  That’s the Hatfields and McCoys to you and me.  There is mounting pressure from the U.S. calling for regime change, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton echoed that call, again, this week.

Greece is on life support.   Spain is experiencing bank runs.  Many countries are in or heading into recession.  The European Union is in gridlock over what to do.  The bankers want money printing for bailouts and want the people to pay for it.  The leadership in the EU is, also, pushing for Euro-bonds that will spread the debt out to all the countries.
