June 18, 2009 It is best to be prepared for what several budget cycles of severe state and local budget cuts could mean - whether to local services, the economy, or the municipal bond markets. This month, Californians are most at risk. However, the U.S. state and local government budget crunch is a financial wave coming to your door. This wave will have a dramatic impact on most North Americans and could fundamentally alter the relationship of American states with the federal government. |

June 11, 2009 Franklin Sanders and I address developments in the precious metals market, including:

June 4, 2009 Few people understand the risks of depositing funds and financial data with large banking institutions. The opportunity for strong relationships and better customer service in local institutions is often overlooked. Many depositors do not appreciate the power we have to impact our economy by shifting our deposits to the local and regional institutions. |

May 21, 2009 Not everyone wants to know what's really going on. Some people want to stay in alignment with the people around them. Some want to please the people who they believe can help them get something or somewhere. Some of us find looking at aspects of our situation too unpleasant and not a good use of our time. But, as we see losses in retirement savings, income, and jobs, the number of people who want to know what's really happening is increasing. The risk of not knowing is on the rise.

May 14, 2009 Franklin and I address developments in the precious metals market and review Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)—is the gold and silver really in inventory? Following up my Derivatives 101 report (see below), we'll discuss derivatives that relate to precious metals. Finally, we get to chew on that often asked question, “Where can I put my cash?” |
|
|
May 7, 2009 What are derivatives? Who uses them and why? Why are derivatives at the heart of the current bailouts? I cover these questions as well as how critical derivatives are to the political management of the financial system and maintenance of the "Slow Burn." Understanding derivatives is part of understanding the federal credit system—and how Anglo-American interests maintain a strong dollar as well as trigger and exploit collapses that subsidize it. Derivatives are at the financial heart of building Empire. |

Apr 23, 2009 It started with posts by George Ure at urbansurvival.com. George mentioned a webbot program that searches and interprets what's happening on the Internet and what it says about where the collective “we” are going together—including the economy. I didn't understand it, but if George thought it was useful, there must have been something there. Then subscribers began e-mailing me about the subscription service at Half Past Human. Finally, one said, “I really want you to read this and tell me what you think.” So I subscribed.

Apr 16, 2009 Dmitry Orlov was an eyewitness to the collapse of the Soviet Union's government, currency, and economy over several extended visits to his Russian homeland in the late '80s and mid-'90s. His observations are described in the book, Reinventing Collapse. Dmitry's articles on the Russian collapse experience and what Americans can learn from it are widely read, including, Closing the Collapse Gap, which compares the collapse-preparedness of the USA and the USSR, and Social Collapse Best Practices. |

Apr 9, 2009 In addition to covering current market events, Franklin Sanders and I discuss how he and his colleagues track and trade the Gold-Silver Ratio, as well as the performance of the equity markets when priced in gold and silver. As background for our discussion, Franklin has generously provided us with historical charts. |

Apr 2, 2009 I am reminded of a British investment manager who said at a private conference in 2000, “The question of whether or not aliens exist is rising in importance. Now that Americans have borrowed 80% of all the capital on the planet, it appears that the only place they could go for more capital is off planet.” Actually, there is more that can be extracted on the planet and that is what my Slow Burn scenario and belief that the military holds the US dollar up is all about. |

Mar 19, 2009 A Solari Circle is a financial action club that uses the Solari philosophy of total economic return to protect and grow members’ real wealth in a manner that contributes to families and communities. Michael Allwright and I review the steps that a Circle takes to invest together and how that informs initial organization. |

Mar 12, 2009 Franklin Sanders and I cover the questions that we most often get about the gold and silver markets. I also discuss Stanley Kubrick’s movie, Eyes Wide Shut, and important family-safety issues you should understand in regards to the proposed national health database. |

Mar 5, 2009 John Rubino recently published, Clean Money: Picking Winners in the Green-Tech Boom. We discuss green-tech investing—what is it, what are the risks and opportunities, and how you can learn more about it. We also talk about the outlook for the global equity markets and what this could mean for whether capital is flowing to real solutions or not. |

Feb 19, 2009 James Turk is the founder of GoldMoney.com, the author (with John Rubino) of The Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit from It, and publishes The Freemarket Gold & Money Report. We discuss recent events in the precious metals markets, the state of the global economy, and the outlook for the US economy and the dollar. |
|
|
Feb 12, 2009 In addition to looking at current market events and responding to subscriber questions, Franklin Sanders and I answer the most frequently asked questions that he and his team at the Moneychanger get about buying gold and silver coins. This includes Franklin's Ten Commandments of Gold and Silver Buying. |

Feb 05, 2009 I discuss how we can organize to build greater local resiliency with Albert Bates, a leader in Transition Towns and Financial Permaculture. In “Money & Markets”, I will connect the dots between the global financial coup d’Etat and this week’s headlines, including the deterioration in our infrastructure. |

Jan 22, 2009 If we are to build a strong economy, it will be made up of strong families. Either families in the traditional sense, or families that we create. Many of us are members of families that, like the Corleone family in The Godfather series, have been torn apart by the manipulation of our ambition, greed, or naivete by powerful financial interests. Most of us assume that The Godfather films — Part I, Part II, Part III — are movies about an organized crime family. The reality is that we all live inside The Godfather’s world. The Godfather series has much to teach us about navigating in our current environment. |

Jan 15, 2009 I began hearing questions about whether it was safe to leave money in 401(k)s and IRAs late last year. These questions were due, in part, to a report in the Carolina Journal that floated the idea of federally-managed retirement accounts. And there were other concerns: the ease with which financial interests have manipulated Congress, the passage of the highly unpopular bailout package in 2008, and the growing federal deficit. These issues have raised the possibility of greater financial losses in 2009, increased capital controls, and possible constraints on 401(k)s and IRAs. |

Jan 08, 2009 There are a few basic rules that will help you protect yourself from most financial frauds. Consistent returns were the dead giveaway that something was fishy at Madoff’s operations. Madoff raised funds through intimate networks. Critics say this is why you would not bank and invest with people you know. Rubbish. You need to know who you bank and invest with. You also need to know what they are doing with the money. Black boxes are usually frauds — whether by individual investment firms or by the partnership of the Treasury and central bank. |

Dec 26, 2008 The big question in 2008 was “Where is the money?” It just keeps disappearing. There was $4 trillion-plus that disappeared from the U.S. government between 1998 and 2002 along with the pump-and-dump of the Internet, telecom, and Enron stocks. Since then and into 2008, funds keep disappearing into the Afghanistan and Iraq campaigns. Now we have $700 billion in bailouts and $7 trillion plus in loans by the Fed, not to mention the $5 trillion in mortgage market liabilities assumed by the Federal government with the passage of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The fraud in the US mortgage bubble was clearly enormous. But, where did all the money go? |

Dec 18, 2008 Health problems are one of the most significant causes of financial problems. Given the change and uncertainty in our economy, you need your mind to be alert and clear and body strong in 2009. In this Solari Report, I talk with investigative reporter Jon Rappoport about the challenges posed by fluoride and chlorine in your water, why you should avoid vaccines, and the importance of keeping your immune system strong. |

Dec 11, 2008 In a slow burn scenario, it is possible to prop-up trillions of dollars in financial asset values by systematically arranging subsidies that ultimately liquidate life. This is what “managing” markets really means: de-populating people and places to maintain phony values created and necessitated by derivative bets. The reason why it is difficult for sophisticated financial people to discern that a slow burn is taking place is because we have not yet collectively mastered the operational detail of how it is implemented. This is an extremely important subject. |
