You want to really know what’s going on in the EU?  Look no further than MEP Nigel Farage and his rant on the floor of the EU Parliament yesterday.  The German High Court OK’d the unlimited money printing and bond buying of the European Central Bank (ECB) and that is (in part) why gold and silver prices are going much higher in the years to come.  (more…)

The Federal Reserve is talking about “unlimited QE,” or money printing, to boost employment.  Economist John Williams says, “That’s absolutely nonsense.  The Fed is just propping up the banks.”  Williams says, “You’re likely going to see a dollar sell-off . . . That should evolve into hyperinflation.”   Williams, “Doesn’t see the current system holding together without hyperinflation beyond 2014.”  He contends the real annual deficit is “$5 trillion per year” and says, “That’s beyond containment.”  (more…)

I cannot believe Congressman Ron Paul is completely finished with politics.  I thought he would run third party, of course, he did not.  Could he run when he’s 80 in 2016?  Probably not, but I bet his son, Senator Rand Paul does.  If so, I’ll bet father Paul will help out on the campaign trail.  Dr. Paul is a man if integrity who never sold out the country.  In this day and age that is a rare trait in Congress.  Please enjoy the video below: (more…)

It looks like a European financial meltdown has been pushed back.  The head of the European Central Bank (ECB), Mario Draghi, announced a massive money printing bond buying program to keep countries like Spain and Italy from financial ruin.  One Wall Street analyst called the move “Classic Banana Republic.”  The news that is not being reported is this ECB action is not a done deal.  (more…)
