Lindsay Williams predicts total collapse within 12 months
This guy claimed back when oil was near its peak that he was given inside knowledge of a coming oil collapse, the purpose of which would be to bankrupt OPEC countries and consolidate control over America. I remember reading his article at the time, and ignoring it, thinking he was nuts. I forgot about it until I came across this interview with Alex Jones. Deflation in Zimbabwe?
How can a currency be in short supply and hyperinflationary at the same time? Economics 101 tells us that reducing supply should increase price, but that doesn’t seem to apply in this case. Perhaps it’s because most banking happens electronically, or perhaps it’s because hyperinflation is as much psychological as monetary. They have lost confidence in the Zimbabwe dollar and there is nothing the government can do about it. Once the process gets going, even if you take away the punch bowl nobody cares. I seem to remember Bernanke making the case US dollars will not lose their reserve currency status because there is a shortage around the world. Ideas for America
America has one advantage, the perception of freedom and opportunity. Any economic recovery plan that doesn’t play to this core strength in my opinion will be in vain. Here are a few ideas off the top of my head: 1929 – The Great Crash
A documentary about the 1929 stock market crash and subsequent great depression. 1 of 6 Hyper-inflation is not off the table
I haven’t been shy about warning the dollar is doomed. The long run is fast approaching, but that doesn’t mean it will arrive tomorrow. It could, but it probably won’t. We have seen a powerful dollar rally over the last year and many people believe it will continue. I think they’re wrong. We’ve declared war on work
A speech by Mike Rowe of the TV show “Dirty jobs”. If you can get passed the first few minutes of disturbing imagery he makes an interesting point. The Housing Collapse of 2009 May Be Worse Than 2008
The true history of the Arab-Israeli conflict
The origins of this problem are found in the aftermath of WW1. This remarkable video from Mark Bruzonsky is over 15 years old, but you wouldn’t have known it if I didn’t tell you. It’s incredible how little has changed. There are actually experts in the world, sometimes. Amer-Israeli empire strikes back
I have stood silent for too long. Ask any Israeli supporter, “who started the 1967 war?” and they will answer, Egypt. The Nasser government imposed a blockade of Israel’s southern Red Sea port which they considered an act of war; Israel responded with a massive air and ground assault, capturing Gaza and the Sinai from Egypt, the Golan heights from Syria and the West Bank from Jordan. More than 40 years ago, the occupation of Palestine began. For many decades there was practically no violent resistance: no Hamas, no rockets, no suicide bombers. So much for Gandhi, the global community did nothing to restrain Israel as it tightened the noose and continued to expand settlements. Before this latest conflict, Israel imposed a near total blockade of the entire Gaza strip, yet none of those same people who declared Nasser’s actions an act of war in 1967 are honest enough to also call Israel’s actions more recently an act of war. They still maintain Hamas began this conflict, as if the occupation began last week, bull shit. |
