A lot emails have come in where people did not realize that Stalin was no more Russian than Hitler was actually German. Hitler’s father, Alois Hitler Sr, (1837–1903), was an Austrian Civil Servant. If we look at the same trend of an outsider rising to the head of a nation we need look no further than […]

The crisis in the Euro is leading to an extreme bubble in government bonds as central banks move to this crazy idea of negative interest rates. The attack on Denmark to abandon the peg to the Euro continues. Now we are seeing even Sweden is cutting its rates below zero. These central banks have no […]

We have a huge audience in Russia who now number nearly 50% of American readers. Germans often point out that Hitler came from Austria. Likewise, to be absolutely accurate, Stalin was not Russian. Stalin was born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili on the 18th of December 1878 in the town of Gori, Georgia.

The Star & Crescent may have originated much further back in time. A reader sent this one in. Clearly the symbol appears on this stela of Ur-Nammu of Babylon from around 4000BC.

COMMENT: Marty, your bubble-gum analogy is brilliant. You are correct, They cannot manage anything. REPLY: Most politicians are lawyers who know only how to write laws. They are incapable of managing an economy. They are way too corrupt to run it properly always available to the highest bidder as the repeal of Dodd-Frank just illustrated, […]

I do not understand how people can even listen to these gold promoters who have no regard for a person’s financial survival. I have to wonder if they are […]
