Private Blog Gold Update for the Close of August 2016
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, What comes first? The banking Crisis or the Sovereign Debt Crisis? Thank you for bringing our attention to these events OD ANSWER: The central banks are trapped. They can no longer even hope to sell the bonds they have bought in a vain attempt to stimulate the economy. So government can, in theory, keep their rates […]
The roads in Illinois are in decay. This may be the first state to go bankrupt. The question is not if, but when. State unions are so greedy that they are destroying the very state. This is exactly how Rome fell — government employees against the people. Seven states have constitutional provisions that state employee […]

I previously reported that one in ten currency notes in Switzerland being printed is now the 1000 franc note. In fact, there is some 41.6 billion in Swiss francs now in circulation in 1000 […]
The trend toward replacing opinion-oriented fields like analysis is also taking root in medicine as well as law. The new computer named ‘ROSS’ is an AI computer that acts as a bankruptcy lawyer and is now being employed by some of the world’s largest law firms. Oh, they will still charge you as if a person spent […]
The very core tenet of Marxism and its two versions called socialism and communism is to actually replace the family structure.

Children were taught that the state was their parent instead of their biological parents, and if those creatures spoke anything against the state then […]
