Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

Ian Gordon will place the current economic malaise in an historical perspective that will explain why equity markets are destined for the crash of a lifetime, surpassing that of 1987 and the more recent post-Lehman Brothers gut-wrenching declines. He will also explain why efforts to inflate to the highest debt levels in history are destined to fail and why the more stimulus that is provided the harder it will be the ultimate fall. In fact, Ian believes this deflationary decline will be far worse than that of the 1930s. Over the past 100 years or so, when the stock markets reached a true capitulation bottom, the Dow- to-gold ratio approached 1 to 1. Ian will tell why this time he thinks it will be Dow 1,000 and gold $4,000. With that kind of a ratio, gold mining profits should soar, which is why Ian thinks gold mining stocks are now the buy of a lifetime. He may even talk of some of his favorite gold mining shares. You won't want to miss this extremely important discussion.

Jeff Deist, Congressman Ron Paul’s Chief of Staff will explain how Congress deceives the American people into thinking it is controlling the Fed. But in fact, Jeff will point out investigations by Congress are a smokescreen to convince the public that their elected officials are looking out for them. That’s on the surface. The reason Congress did not pass an “Audit the Fed” bill with teeth is because it does not want the Fed to disappear. Were that to happen, Congressmen could no longer spend more money than they are able to tax. Representatives know that if they had to raise taxes for all they spend, they would be thrown out of office in a New York Minute. So getting rid of the Fed or auditing the Fed, which would no doubt mandate its death, is out of the question. Yet, the popularity of Jeff’s boss, Ron Paul is rising among the middle class in large part because he has stood against the Fed. A Ron Paul led revolution is underway. Can Americans recoup their country? We’ll ask Jeff.

Guest Daniel Estulin is the word’s primary authority on the most secretive and clandestine group on the face of the earth, namely the Bilderberg Group. The most prominent members of the largest corporations, presidents and kings of the world’s super powers and lesser powers join together annually in this secretive group to plot your future. Davos economic forums and G-8 meetings are discussed in every newspaper in the land, but never a word is permitted to be spoken about what transpires at these highly secret annual meetings. What are these makers and shakers of world policy up to? How is it that most Americans care more about who wins the NBA championship than who is really ruling over us? Is there a link between the Bilderberg group and the Oklahoma City bombing? The American drug trade? The false accusation of Viktor Bout? Is Russia and China represented in the Bilderberg group? Is the Fed linked in to them? Those questions and more will be posed to Daniel Estulin.

Ron Paul talks about how the Federal Reserve and fiat money have been used to destroy the middle class and take away the economic freedom of Americans. Ron also comments on his bill to audit the Federal Reserve as well as his repeated attempts to have the Federal Reserve and the IRS outlawed. How could both of these powerful institutions be outlawed without major disruption to America? Will we have major problems if we do not do away with them? Ron will comment on a recent Rasmussen poll that showed him even with President Obama in a popularity contest and he will talk about the revolution that he has played such a major role in creating. Joining us later in the show is Vancouver-based market Bob Hoye to put the current credit contraction cycle in a 300-year historical perspective. Bob will tell us what that means for gold and gold mining stocks. And he will explain how markets act to meet the society's needs for gold as money. Corp. interviews: Magellan Min. & Canacao Resc.

Last week Richard Simmon’s peak oil theory painted a doomsday scenario for western civilization. Slightly more than a year ago, Dick Bove was predicting the same for the financial community. Now bank profits are booming and Dick Bove has turned optimistic about the future of our financial system. Meantime, guest Paul Michael Wihbey suggests peak oil is more a figment of imagination as new technologies enable the economic harvesting of massive quantities of hydrocarbons to keep the lights on. Energy savvy investor extraordinaire Rick Rule will offer some guidance for investors by telling us where he is putting his very smart money. Gold mining companies Apollo Gold and Coronado Resources will also be interviewed on this show.

Most of the large readily-accessible oil reserves in the world have been discovered and many of them have rapidly declining levels of production. This comes at a time when global wealth is shifting to the most highly populated countries in the world. Where will petroleum supplies come from to meet surging global demand? We have long thought Saudi Arabia could provide endless supplies, but our special gust this week, Matt Simmons suggests the prolific oil fields of that nation are not only in rapid decline but that the supplies Americans assume still exist may no longer be extractable. Might new technologies provide a solution? If not, what will it mean for our living standards and America’s position in the world as a global super power. These and more questions will be asked of peak oil theorist, Matt Simmons. Also to be interviewed are the CEOs of an emerging uranium and a coal producer.

Since the lows of March of 2009, we have had a major rise in equity and commodity markets. Many pundits in the mainstream media opine that this is the start of a new major bull market and that Keynesian economics have once again triumphed over natural economic laws. For some likely contrary ideas to that mainstream thesis real estate professional and congressional hopeful, Dave Corsi, will be joining me as will London/New-York based hedge fund manager Gijsbert Groenewegen. After Corsi and Groewewegen tell us what they think from their perspectives as fundamental analysts, technical analyst Arch Crawford will join us to tell us what the movements of the planets may be suggesting. We will also be interviewing Australian gold producer, Crocodile Gold Corp and soon to be Texas uranium producer, Uranium Energy Corp.

Adrian Salbuchi will continue with his insights from last week’s discussion into who are the powers behind the throne and what you can expect from them if you sit idly by, buy into their propaganda and take what they give you. First time guest Dave Corsi, a libertarian, free market Republican candidate for U.S. Congress from the 12th district of New Jersey and Ron Paul Look alike, will explain how he plans not to sit idly by but rather help return our government to the people by restoring the U.S. Constitution. Finally, Gijsbert Groenewegen will tell you how he is managing his hedge fund to help his clients thrive in these challenging economic times. We will also interview two exciting junior gold mining firms during the first and last half hours of our two hour long show.

Ron Paul noted on this show that if we remain free, America can recover economically. On 9-11-91, George Bush Sr. talked of a New World Order which has since been redefined as Globalization. Globalization is an ideology identifying the Sovereign Nation-State as its key enemy. Accordingly, the forces of globalization seek to weaken, dissolve and eventually destroy the Nation-State as a basic social institution, and replace it with new supra-national worldwide social, political, economic, financial and military management structures. Such structures tie in with the political objectives and economic interests of a small number of highly concentrated and very powerful groups and organizations which drive and steer globalization for their own benefit. But is Globalization a threat to you? Who is behind it? Special guest Adrian Salbuchi will explain. Call in with questions at 866-472-5790. Also, we will comment on the markets with investment ideas for these troubled times.

In terms of stated objectives of maintaining stable prices and full employment, the Federal Reserve Bank (FED) has been a horrible failure. But, as G. E. Griffin told us in prior interviews, the Fed has been a raving success in terms of its unstated goals--to privatize profits while socializing risk, even as it pretends to fend for all Americans. It’s bad enough that a fascist government has evolved to protect the rich and powerful at the expense of the middle class. But do these sinister forces have even bigger goals in mind than the rape and pillage of Americans? As John Perkins has noted, national sovereignty is largely a thing of the past because large corporate interests aligned with the IMF and World Bank are now dictating policies of national leaders. John Truman Wolfe will explain who these powers behind the IMF and World Bank thrones are, how they are setting up to force us to join a one world dictatorship and he will also offer ideas for financial protection.

Dmitry Orlov, author of “Reinventing Collapse” tells of his experience in Russia during that country’s collapse to warn Americans that the a similar event has begun in the U.S. There are five stages of the collapse: financial collapse, commercial collapse, political collapse, social collapse and cultural collapse. Orlov believe the U.S. is undergoing a financial collapse now. “Financial institutions become insolvent; savings are wiped out, and access to capital is lost,” Orlov writes. Does that sound familiar? With commercial collapse, store shelves are stripped bare. Political collapse is a breakdown of public order. In social collapse people lose faith that society will take care of them and begin to fend for themselves. Cultural collapse is when even those bonds are broken. In seeking to turn those hard times into good times Kim Harris of Midlands Minerals will update us on that gold mining company's progress. Also with us, Chen Lin, Roger Wiegand and Pat Gorman.

Mr. Faber will explain why he thinks we face prospects for hyper inflation. Mish Shedlock will provide counter arguments. Ambar Dakar will explain what the new credit card legislation will mean for consumers. Pat Gorman will provide advice on silver and gold bullion investing and Ian Forman, President of Yale Resources Ltd., suggests his company’s shares offer excellent value at their current price.

John Williams and Bob Hoye square off this week to discuss their divergent views on the most important question investors need to grapple with. John Williams strongly believes the U.S. is headed for a severe hyper inflation. As the dollar weakens, surging import prices and a shortage of domestically-produced essential goods will ensure dramatic increases in the CPI. Bob Hoye has noted that during periods of great credit contractions like the one we are in now, the reserve currency is the strongest. Because the country with the world’s reserve currency has the largest currency short position, when loans are called for payment, demand for the currency surges, sending bankruptcy and unemployment through the roof as everything that can be sold is sold to pay the margin clerk. Rather than weak dollar and inflation, Hoye sees a stronger dollar and falling prices no matter how much money is printed by the Fed. Don't miss this most important inflation-deflation investment debate.

Brian Rich, Dr. Robert McHugh and a representative from All-In-One Preparedness will tell us to hope for the best but prepare for the unexpected worst case scenario. Talk about the unexpected! Brian Rich will tell us why the dollar may be surprisingly strong for much longer than even establishment advocates think and what that may mean for the U.S. economy. Dr. Robert McHugh not only believes we are in a secular bear market that began in 2007, but that the next leg down in the bear market will be so severe that life as we know it will cease being. He believes the “C wave Down” will evolve into a “cataclysmic nation changing event.” If we are in fact facing a “cataclysmic nation changing event,” All-In-One Preparedness has some products that could well help you and your loved ones survive the kind of civil disorder and infrastructure breakdown that is predictable if America’s depression worsens. Rich, McHugh and others guests will provide practical advice you can’t afford to miss.

Ian Gordon has been warning of massive declines in the stock market just before the dot com bubble peaked in 2000. At that time, mainstream pundits were predicting a Dow that would soon hit 40,000 on its way to 100,000. That kind of irrational exuberance had no place in Ian Gordon’s thinking then or now. As a student of history, he knew societies go through long periods of credit expansion that culminate in irrational exuberance. With that perspective and based on the work of Nicolai Kondratieff, Ian was convinced a bear market of a lifetime was about to take stocks down for many years to come. Now, his latest work suggests very strongly that the Dow will decline to 1,000 or lower even as gold rises to $4,000 per ounce. Ian provides a perspective on gold as real money and explains why it will thrive while paper money products perish. You won’t want to miss Ian’s life sustaining message.

Last April, John Perkins told our listeners of a New World Order that emerged in the post WWII nuclear age. He explained how the ruling elite has since used its power to enslave foreign countries. In his latest book, “Hoodwinked,” John provides his views on how corporate elitist abuse of the masses led to the implosion of our financial markets. Perkins offers ways he thinks Americans can take their country back. But can that happen while powerful bankers have the ability to print infinite amounts of money they use to bribe and buy off U.S. and foreign leaders? We will explore what Perkins thinks is going on with China's involvement in the Iraqi oil fields. Are U.S. bribes working to form a One-World government? Is Perkins partial toward leftist dictators as Ed Griffin suggests? If so, why? Does John know our former guest “The living Will Smith” and her travails for her honesty? What can really be done to restore liberty? Call 866-472-5790 with questions for John Perkins.

Last week we interviewed G. Edwin Griffin, author of the Creature from Jekyll Island. Ed explained that the Federal Reserve has been created to preserve the interests of the bankers. Gold is an enemy of the Fed because,when it is demanded as money, it restricts their ability to re-allocate wealth from the people who create it, the miners, manufacturers, farmers and inventors to themselves as they create fiat money out of thin air. Bill Murphy and Chris Powell, our guests for this week, created the Gold Anti Trust Action Committee to educate the public about how policy makers have manipulated the price of gold to keep the public disinterested in this honest form of money. Bill and Chris will share evidence of how policy makers have kept the American people in the dark about economic problems in part by suppressing the price of gold. That in turn made possible various bubbles that have set the stage for an economic disaster. Call 866-472-5790 with questions and comments.

The U.S. Constitution supposedly provided Americans with a form of government that allowed them to elect leaders and remove them when they get out of line. In The Creature from Jekyll Island G. Edwin Griffin discusses how the Federal Reserve Bank was used to grab power from the American people and engage in systemic theft of the American people. Griffin talks about the last two World Wars, who was behind their creation and how tens of thousands of American lives were sacrificed not necessarily for your freedom and mine but for the elite that created the Fed and who literally own America. Griffin talks about how this ruling elite has used legalized systemic theft to control the media and educational system not only to consolidate political power but to socialize risk while reallocating wealth form those who produce it--the miners, manufacturers, farmers and inventors to those in control of the system. These topics and more will be discussed in this weeks feature interview.

Sentiment toward gold investments has become much more bullish than when this week’s guest, John Hathaway, began managing the Tocqueville gold fund in 1998. Then, almost everyone spurned gold in favor of paper investments. Buying undervalued asset classes is a successful strategy employed by Tocqueville. But now, as the mood toward gold turned positive, are we nearing the end of the gold bull market? Or not? What about gold mining shares? Is it possible the economics for gold mining could be improving, even if the metal itself levels off in nominal terms? What are some of the qualities the Tocqueville Gold Fund seeks when picking stocks for its portfolio? What are some of the fund’s largest holdings? What is the fund’s track record? When might investors look forward to a growing, healthy U.S. economy that would allow us to invest in sectors other than gold? What other funds does Tocqueville offer? How can you buy Tocqueville shares? John will explain all and more.
