Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

Guests - Todd Wood, Ellen Brown and Gene Epstein. Wood visits for the first time to talk about his novel “Currency.” This novel explains the rise of America and its middle class up into the 1970s and our current decline caused largely by fiat money and embellished in spades by Ben Bernanke. Wood warns that current American monetary policy is leading our nation into an economic decline nationally and as a superpower the dollar is falling from favor by China and other creditor nations. Todd is aware of the pathology of our banking system too, a topic we will discuss with Ellen Brown who returns to update us on the threat to all of us that we will be “Cyprussed!” She will also talk about a much more citizen-friendly banking structure illustrated by the Bank of North Dakota, which is owned by the people of that State rather than the international robber barons who own you and me as their servants. Gene Epstein will return to talk about the next NYC Junto, markets and the economy.

IT executive Alexis Ringwald visits for the first time and U.S. Global Funds manager, Frank Holmes, stops by again. We often talk on this show about how financial promiscuity has led to mal investment and unemployment. Recently Dr. Mark Skousen suggested that in spite of government policies, mal investment is at least partly working its way out of our beleaguered economy thanks to people like Alexis Ringwald whose latest innovation, “Learn Up,” is an IT to train and thus equip employees for entry level jobs and in the process increase efficiency in the hiring process. U.S. Global Funds manager Frank Holmes, an innovator, global thinker, and optimist will help us put the recent decline in the price of gold into perspective and tell us what he sees for the future of the global economy. Your host along with Charles Nenner and/or David Gurwitz will address the gold, silver, equity and bond markets. Also I will talk about a couple ridiculously undervalued gold stocks.

Curtis Ellis appears for the first time while Jeff Berwick and Jonathan Moore return. Anarchy advocate, Jeff Berwick, who has recently been featured on all major media to explain the Bitcoin phenomena, will do the same for our listeners in more depth than at CNBC, Fox and CNN. Curtis Ellis, who has been a producer for Lou Dobbs and who knows his way around the halls of Congress, explains why and how the one-world order advocates are seeking to destroy the last vestiges of American sovereignty as President Obama seeks to sneak through legislation that commits America to the TransPacific Partnership that would subject American law to a tribunal of 11 nations that will favor foreign companies that set up business in the U.S. over U.S. companies. If this isn’t a conspiracy, I don’t know what this is. Jonathan Moore of the NY Metals & Minerals Conference (previously NY Hard Assets Conference) will talk of the upcoming conference on May 13 & 14 featuring Ron Paul & other great speakers.

Christopher Martenson returns and David Gurwitz of Charles Nenner Research joins us for the first time to give us his firm’s views of where the equity, bond and precious metals markets are heading when natural deflationary forces are being countered with the most massive monetary printing in the history of humankind. But money printing is only fooling the masses into thinking exponential growth of money and prosperity can be printed into existence despite the fact that the world has long ago reached peak production of basic wealth creating raw materials like energy, food and base metals. Chris Martenson tells how you can proactively adapt to a changing world on your own terms and live a richer life. Part of preparing for major changes ahead is having necessary supplies for future emergencies. Eric Radez of All-In-One-Preparedness will join me to explain how that can be done. Your editor will comment on the new sponsors for the Spring season that begins this week.

Ellen Hodgson Brown and Dmitry Orlov will discuss the continuing collapse of western society thanks to the parasitic behavior of our banking establishment. With outright confiscation of depositor money in Cyprus, parasitic elite is no longer robbing us in the night through the hidden tax of inflation but now robs people through outright confiscation of deposits. How long yet before Robert Prechter’s next dark age arrives? Orlov will give us an idea of which of the five Stages of Collapse the U.S. is now in, as he compares our demise to that of the former Soviet Union's collapse. In an attempt to survive, we look to honest money--gold bullion and gold shares. So, on an upbeat note, we have Jean Martineau, of Dynacor Gold Mines visiting to talk about his company’s dramatic earnings growth from gold production in Peru. And the usually optimistic Gene Epstein will share his latest take on the U.S. economy and talk about the next NYC Junto this Thursday.

Chris Martenson and Eric Coffin appear for the first time while returning Bob Hoy will tell us why he thinks gold and gold share markets are bottoming out. Martenson will talk about the unsustainable future of our economy, energy and the environment and how we should prepare our lives to deal with the adversities we most certainly will face. Then, one of the best and most independent junior mine stock pickers in the world, Eric Coffin, will share his appraisal of the current depressed state of the small-cap mining sector and how you should play it now. Eric has a solid technical understanding of exploration and mining industries and mining economics, not to mention various other dynamics that drive small cap markets in the mining sector. And, your host will pass along Jim Sinclair's comments about why gold is heading to over $3,500 in two years as well as some of his own exciting gold share ideas at at time when gold shares are as undervalued as they have ever been.

Dr. Peter Treadway visits for the first time as does mining executive Carlos H. Fernandez Mazzi who headed up President Clinton’s Sustainable Growth Initiative. Carlos will talk about Golden Arrow's evolving silver deposit. Our main focus is on Dr. Treadway’s book, “Investing in the Age of Sovereign Defaults.” He examines the role technology plays in redistributing wealth and how governments are being driven toward destructive socialism as a result. One of the main problems we investors face is a constant flow of false economic info from government as it manipulates the minds and hearts to perpetuate its power. Economist John Williams will give us the true inflation and unemployment numbers and how government’s fantasy stats are creating a false sense of security among investors, sucking us in to the bears’ den just in time for the next crash. If one believes Williams, we are in the midst of another Great Depression. The only viable investments according to him are gold and silver.

David Tice and Pamela Aden return as main guests. David who sold his interest in the Prudent Bear Fund, which he founded to enter a career of movie making, will talk about his second film, The Bubble, which is starring many past guests on this show such as Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, Doug Casey, Gene Epstein, Marc Faber and more, lays out the reasons for past bubbles and predicts another major bubble crisis is emerging. Tice will talk about his film and what he sees now in the economy. The major point? Fiat money is leading us down a path of economic death and destruction. Pam Aden will tell us if her charts are telling her the bull market in gold is over or whether we have a lot further to run. We will also ask her about equity, commodity, bond and currency markets. For company updates, Dave Cole of Eurasian Minerals, Chris Crupi of Paramount Gold and Silver and Richard Bedell of Renaissance Gold will check in. If you believe in gold shares, now is the time to listen.

Gene Epstein and Rick Rule return as featured guests. Epstein will speak of his latest Barron’s Economic Beat article, “One of the Costliest Ponzi Schemes Ever,” illustrating how the U.S. social security system is nothing but that—one of the largest Ponzi schemes ever! Of course, that doesn’t even take into account other confiscatory acts by the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve in recent years. The productive middle class of America is being eaten alive by parasitic Washington and Wall Street with average Americans no longer having any real recourse through the ballet box. How then can we survive, never mind thrive, in an increasingly statist economic environment? We'll ask legendary investor Rick Rule who has learned how to profit from government-induced market dislocations for some ideas. Dave Cole of Eurasian Minerals and John Burgess of Northern Freegold will update us on their companies’ quest to finding the antithesis to Ponzi schemes—gold.

Jim Rogers and Dr. Alvin Schmidt are first time guests. Passing wisdom from his latest book, “Street Smarts,” Rogers talks of the importance of thinking beyond conventional wisdom and understanding cultures outside of the West in gaining the “street smarts” you'll need to survive the decline of the West. He will help us understand, at least from our earthly perch, why China is on the rise and the West is in decline. Many of the lessons Rogers provides are also inherent in the work of Dr. Schmidt who will discuss his book, “How Christianity Changed the World.” Now that the West has largely turned its back on Christianity, could that be one reason for our decline? Regardless of your take on the cause of our decline, surviving in the here and now is something we can all agree is most necessary. To help us along those lines will be Amir Adnani of Brazil Resources and Jeffrey Wilson of Precipitate Gold Corp. Your host will also offer some thoughts on the plunging price of gold.

Peter Schiff and Mark Skousen are first time guests. Schiff is well known for his strident free market views and outspoken-in-your-face style against the Fed & socialism. Just as firmly grounded in free market economics but a bit more laid back and academic, is Dr. Mark Skousen. Neither will find little if anything good about current statist economic & foreign policies. But, how will the existing economic pathology play out? Will it be through the fires of an explosive hyperinflation or a devastating deflationary depression? Will new technologies empower governments to watch our every move and take what's left of our private property and liberty? Or will markets demand a gold or silver backed monetary system as a foundation for restoring personal property and liberty from our increasingly tyrannical world? Joe Kizis, Dir. & Pres. of Bravada Gold (TSX-BVA-$0.04) and Amir Adnani of Brazil Resources (TSX-BRI-$1.10) will update investors on their respective Jr. gold company's progress.
