COMMENT: The issue for me on the national level is debt-based money.  And that’s what the Federal Reserve is basically doing, issuing debt based money or currency.  I don’t see how we can have an honest monetary system if the currency itself always creates more debt for the American people.  The politicians will always choose […]

When I was in school, it became obvious that there were real sciences, and then there were “social sciences” based on opinions. In physics class, you learned that there were laws and that “God did not play dice with the universe”, as Einstein similarly put it. When you went to economics class, they said not […]

QUESTION:  Martin, I live in the Intermountain West.  Our local real estate market has been in the toilet for years.  One local broker has noted that her office typically has two homes in sales process this time of year.  This spring they have twenty-two homes in process — eleven times the recent average.  I think […]

I had a very interesting discussion with a top investigative journalist in Germany who was different from most. The journalist inquired, “How could you advise on trillions of dollars in a crisis when others are in a state of panic?” It made me think and reflect on what I was doing differently.

Yesterday, I spoke by invitation at the prestigious Dutch Nyenrode Business University, situated on a 13th century estate with its own genuine castle, moat, and drawbridges.

It is amazing how some people still do not understand. Some of the nasty comments we receive typically talk about gold, arguing that gold is money – nothing else – and I am dead wrong for saying that fractional banking is not the greatest evil. Example: “You talk about transitional banking that is wrong, I […]

Back in 1999, I stood up in court and objected Alan Cohen’s demands for my lawyers to turn over tapes of conversations I recorded to protect me as a journalist when I was writing about the various bank manipulations. I told Judge Richard Owen that those tapes revealed criminal activity by the major banks in […]

It is very interesting how outside of the U.S. people see Hillary for who she really is What is really interesting is that outside the USA, everyone sees Hillary for what she really is — a greedy politician. Of course, MSNBC would never say a bad word against Hillary for she walks on water. When […]

QUESTION: Hi Martin, I have been a fan of yours for a long time and congratulations on the Forecaster going to the big screen. Although I am just a small fish in a big pond, I am sure that I am not alone among you many readers. Have you thought about letting the throngs of […]
