Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

Dimitri Speck visits for the first time. John Rubino, Gene Epstein and Daniel McAdams return. Speck’s book “The Gold Cartel” explains how the Feds are manipulating the gold price to continue conning Americans into accepting dollars. We will ask him to give us his best proof that gold is a massively manipulated market and why it should matter to the masses of people. Are there signs that gold manipulation will again contribute to destabilizing markets? And when the market implodes the next time, will gold play a role in the establishment of a new monetary regime? Or will bitcoin replace the dollar? We will ask John about his views on that topic as well as how he sees markets shaping up in 2014. Gene will preview the next Junto meeting and its topic, the emerging catastrophic health care system. And Daniel McAdams will update us on how the Neocons are attempting to foster corporate welfare by engaging Americans in the next bloody war.
