I am updating now from Europe. I will be in Europe for nearly two months for a lot of meetings. They would also like me to debate a few economists in a discussion on stage.

A virtual secret meeting took place in Washington with the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and World Bank present over the weekend. The mainstream media reported that they only spoke about Greece, but behind the […]

The hypocrisy of Hillary is just beyond belief. She and her husband have lined their pockets from government well beyond most. She steered the contract for mining in Haiti to her brother. Bill has taken unbelievable donations for his “library” from foreign governments, thanks to Hillary. Hillary has always taken money from the major banks, yet talks […]

Would you please then explain what quantitative easing is? It appears as if this is indeed the creation of money out of thin air. cs ANSWER: This is a different animal […]

  The reason for Optimism is knowing that something exists and that empowers us with the ability to change. We can learn from nature if we look at the divine structure of how things really work just for once. Some garden flowers follow the sun as it travels across the summer sky. Flowers that track […]
