The swastika has an broad history that extends back at least 5,000 years before Adolf Hitler designed the Nazi flag. The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika, which means “good fortune” or “well-being.” The motif even appears to have first been used in Neolithic Eurasia, perhaps representing the movement of the sun through the sky. Even currently, […]

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, its seems rather clear that for the last 30 years you would have been far better off just buying stocks rather than gold. 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 […]

  COMMENT: Marty, it is amazing that you seem to be the major source for trends and ideas. You may be the most plagiarized analyst or forecaster in history. You come out and say there will be an economic downturn from October and heads of states start saying this like David Cameron. Then you write […]

The World Gold Council’s annual demand trends study for 2014 are out and they show that there has been a very painful readjustment for the gold market after a record-breaking 2013 where 880 tons of gold was liquidated from the ETF area. The overall demand slipped 4% to 3,923 tonnes last year in 2014 with […]

  Nigel Farage reveals the stark un-Democratic European Union that rejects the right of the people to ever vote against them right on the floor of Parliament in Brussels. The comments coming out of Brussels are simply outrageous. They only see their own power and they know best when in fact they are destroying Europe […]

  While I am a supporter of  MATT TAIBBI at the Rolling Stone, his take on the Pension Crisis is really off the mark. Taibbi focuses on the fees being paid to hedge funds as robbing state worker pension funds. What he fails to address is that the taxes are rising on the Middle Class to pay […]

The Greek crisis began exactly on the Pi turning date to the day. Now, Greek demand for gold coins is rising as common citizens worry that Greece will exit the Euro. They have been taking cash out of the banks hoarding and buying gold coins as well according to the U.K. Royal Mint. But the bulk […]

Europe is moving against the USA and closer to Russia. Kerry has outright lied to the American public to cover-up their stupid sanctions policy. Following Francois Hollande’s calls for greater autonomy for Eastern Ukraine, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has come out in apparent support of Russia (and specifically against the US), “we are part […]

One of the most interesting aspects of my case was the astonishing claim by Republic/HSBC that $1 billion was missing and they had no possible idea of where it went.
