Philosophy of Max Keiser, pt.1: Boycott Coca-Cola

One of the underlying premises of Max Keiser’s boycott activism is that “even those with no money can change the world.” Max understands that movements like the Tea Party & Occupy Wall Street have formed because “corporations run the show” and enslave individuals and pollute the planet, and so on.

The Guardian newspaper, in an item titled “Mad Max”, described Keiser’s Karmabanque hedge fund as a “fantastical scheme” and accused him of trying to exist “beyond the normal forces and controls of society.” I am sure Mr. Keiser does not feel this an actual offense against his character. READ ON!

Today at my locals farmer market, I asked a gentleman who runs an organic farm 45 minutes northeast of me about what foods best help aid an individual in detoxing from heavy metals. In a sign of the times, he immediately knew what I was referring to; namely, chemtrails. He and I both looked at each and said in unison: “cilantro,” to the original question—regarding heavy metals—without mention of the cause of concern. In my perusing, cilantro seems to be the best known ingredient in a detoxifier from heavy metals. He told me of a friend: READ ON!

Bob Chapman Interview - SilverVigilante.com

Many people hear about numismatics as a way to hedge against the political risk of corruption inherent in all markets, however it is clear that numismatics are oftentimes unreasonably priced. For those individuals worried about government confiscation of gold and silver, instead of numismatics, could platinum and palladium serve a similar purpose?

Numismatics and mint state graded numismatics are usually overpriced because of the commissions charged by dealers anywhere from 6% to 50%. This is particularly true in circulated numismatics – putting that aside the premium on mint state numismatic coins are close to their lowest level in 35 years. In the markets from 78 to 1980 we saw tremendous gains in numismatics and mint state guarantees did not exist at that time. Today, if purchased intelligently the mint state coins are a good buy. The same could be true of regular numismatics. I have never been an advocate of platinum or palladium. They are too strongly tied to commercial usage. READ ON!

Reuters Bamboozles Public, Dedicates Hit Piece To Silver

In an article Thursday, entitled silver: poor man’s gold turning to fool’s gold, Reuters warned silver bulls against their own optimism at the metal’s strong first-quarter price rise. The piece reads:

“Its advocates say silver, which occupies a middle ground between industrial metals like copper and investment vehicles like gold, can benefit both from the fledgling economic recovery that is lifting copper and from the investment that is driving gold.”

Kodak Bankruptcy Engineered by JP Morgan, Wall Street?

For the investor in silver, the recent Kodak chapter 11 bankruptcy is big news, for Kodak is among the largest consumers of silver. The photography industry is the second largest consumer of silver behind industry, using annually about 50 million ounces of silver. According to Bloomberg, the 131-year-old company consumes about 8.5 million ounces or $300 million worth of silver each year for its manufactured goods anhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifd supplies.

How To Retire

CNN Money, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal all publish articles soothing their reader, reassuring them that, despite the turbulent course of history, retirement in the modern age is still a possibility—so long as you play by their rules.

Oftentimes, such articles come across to the lackadaisical reader as reasonable, suggesting to folks they simply put x-amount of money away for saving per month. When taken in the context of the rest of mainstream articles—i struggle to call them „ARTicles“—then the intended takehome point is clear. Buy paper, feed the beast!

In one particular recent CNN article, it was stated that just 8% a year starting in one’s early thirties can turn into a seven figure bank account by retirement.

But, as we have bore witness to in guinea pig Greece and the western world over, retirement is becoming something grandpa and grandma had, but not something for the their progeny.

Regardless, there still exist options for fostering retirement, and I’ve hereafter listed some of my recommended techniques for ensuring a comfortable retirement. Read on!

Demonetization of Silver, An Act of War & The Consolidation of the United States by J.P. Morgan

History is just that: HIS-STORY. It is a play conjured by entrenched interests who have time and history on their side. The macro-events of daily life are not the effect of democratic processes or chance, but, instead, the execution of all things by powers-that-be, with 24 hour think-tanks and the bloodline of civilization, rule of money, to their advantage.

The 1873 Coinage Act listed all the coins to be minted under the legislation. It omitted the silver dollar, and because there was much demand for silver beyond monetary, as well as its strength through tradition, not much was changed – at first.

The act was sprung from London. As silver was demonetized in France, England and Holland in 1872, capital—approximately $500,000—was raised so that Ernest Seyd could head to United States, as an agent of foreign bond holders, finance capitalists and elitists centered on the Rothschild Empire, to achieve the same: the demonetization of silver. This was stated in the Congressional Globe of April 9, 1872, page 2304:

Ernest Seyd of London, a distinguished writer and bullionist, who is now here, has given great attention to the subject of mint and coinage. After having examined the first draft of this bill (for the demonetization of silver) he made various sensible suggestions, which the committee adopted and embodied in the bill.

Injury inflicted upon the people of the United States as silver was demonetized was critical. What ensued in the form of The Panic of 1873 represented one of the most disastrous episodes in U.S history. The years of 1873 until silver remonetization in 1878 brought bankruptcies and financial disaster to millions. The economic distress, as concluded by prominent statesmen of the time, and many analysts since, was caused by “the shrinkage in the volume of money.”

This was an effect of the departing of a flexible bimetallic standard in favor of a monometallic standard, a gold standard.

For background, throughout most the course of American history, leading up to the demonetization of silver in the year 1873, the dollar was defined in monetary context as composed of either 22.5 grains of gold or 270 grains of silver. This meant that, in practice, the legal price of silver in comparison with gold was 16 ounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold. Read on

Rothschild-Johnson Matthey Connection

In silver & gold shops across the United States and beyond, a constant refrain of customers is: “do you have any Johnson Matthey?” The customer is referring to the silver products of Johnson Matthey, refiner of precious metals products. The company has been a banner make of gold, silver, platinum and palladium products for decades after having been in business for approx. 150 years. Not only do younger generations seek the luster of Johnson Matthey, but so too do many veteran precious metals holders.

Many of these young and old investors are well-aware of the fraud perpetuated upon them through the grand experiment with purely fiat currencies and public debt. They stand opposed to international, illuminist banks such as JP Morgan and HSBC—amongst others—which, as we all know by now, have pillaged and continue to conquer the people of the world. When seeking Johnson Matthey products, however, these individuals are, in a way, serving their own masters. Read on!

Platinum Physical Ask Price Divorces from Paper Spot

The precious metals markets have witnessed a de facto separation between the paper platinum spot price and the physical bullion price, as US retailers oft pay more than 3.3% for non-numismatic coins and bars. The spread on platinum products are, in most cases, twice the amount of their gold counterparts. This is a trend that each precious metals market will soon also experience.

Many people have spoken about this event in relation to the silver market. They argue that, as a result of coerced silver pressure to the downside, physical demand will one day force a divide between what the paper-silver and the physical silver costs.

Platinum is the rarest precious metals on planet earth, and primary platinum is only mined in South Africa, where there are just 12 mines. In fact, all this platinum comes from a mere 200 miles of terrain. In Russia, to be sure, a small percentage of platinum is mined, if only as a by-product of their nickel mining.

When perusing the web, it’s quite clear that the availability of retail platinum to the public is dramatically limited. At Compare Platinum Prices.Com, one can spot-check the prices of the web’s most competitive platinum prices. At this website, you can see that the most competitive asking price for the Perth Mint’s Platinum Platypus—one of the most actively traded retail platinum products—is about $100. This is the premium paid for gold numismatic coins. The Platinum Platypus, however, is one of the main bullion products offered to individuals at the retail level.read on!

The Silver Liberation Army’s Numismatic Silver Coin: The 1964 JFK Half Dollar

It was November of 1963, and the most popular President perhaps in American History was the well-spoken and slick looking John F. Kennedy. Kennedy’s Presidency was assured by his appearances on the new invention the TELE-vision alongside Dick Nixon, who coulda been worse for the wear, but not by much.

On the 22nd of that month, in Dallas, he was assassinated, brains laid out upon the slippery steel of his automobile and the hard pavement, a shock to the nation, another page in the Books of History. The official story posits Lee Harvey Oswald as the perp, whilst a plethora of antagonistic stories suggest otherwise, such as the mafia conspired in his killing or Cuba or Russia.

My personal flavor is that the international bankers had something to do with the foul play (I guess I’m just trendy), along with their operatives within the United States Government, such as George Herbert Walker Bush who, working at the CIA at the time, though not quite yet director thereof as he soon would be, is quoted in at least two newspaper stories as not remembering where he was when Kennedy was shot.

I’ve known since I was a young boy that everybody in my parents’ and grandparents’ generations, respectively, remembers where they were as Kennedy died.

Plus, there are the photos of George Herbert Walker outside of the book depository during Kennedy’s last cavalcade. So, I gather, one of three things are happening here: a) either George has been an amnesiac since the early sixties or b) George was so traumatized by Kennedy’s death that he has blocked the memory or c) he is lying and has something to hide.

Money’s on C. Read on!
