Ret. Detective Ralph Friedman‘s record on the New York City Police Department reads like a crime thriller. 2,000 arrests. 100 off-duty arrests. 6,000 assists. 15 shootings. 8 shot. 4 kills. These are not the performance statistics of an entire NYPD unit. They are the record that makes Detective 2nd Grade Ralph Friedman a legend. Friedman was arguably the toughest cop ever to wear the shield and was the most decorated detective in the NYPD’s 170-year history. Stationed at the South Bronx’s notorious 41 Precinct, known by its nickname “Fort Apache,” Friedman served during one of the city’s most dire times: the 1970s and ‘80s, when fiscal crisis, political disillusionment, an out-of-control welfare system, and surging crime and drug use were just a few of its problems. Street Warrior tells an unvarnished story of harrowing vice and heroic grit, including Friedman’s reflections on racial profiling, confrontations with the citizens he swore to protect, and the use of deadly force. And there’s now a television series based upon his work on Investigative Discovery, Street Justice: Bronx.

Mark Tapson, a close associate of David Horowitz joined us. Free Speech Week at Berkeley/Bezerkly was cancelled. It imploded. The organizers say that the university’s leadership obstructed the entire event. However, Milo Yiannopoulos showed and was promptly escorted out. It was a sad state of affairs for the home of the Free Speech Movement.

Martin Armstrong joined us today for a review of the global economic landscape. Hurricanes aren’t just in the Atlantic, but all over the world’s economies. The rush into the stock markets continues and will keep on going. Faith in governments and socialism keep going down and down. The democratic party is in a multi-generational bear market with no end in sight. Finally, the stock market is on course to double from it’s present level. It’s the only game in town. Bitcoin will be prohibited by governments. Eventually all countries will go electronic currency. The dollar is poised to remain the reserve currency until it rises too high, which will require a world-wide meeting to remedy.

Timothy Trainer is extremely alarmed about the counterfeiting epidemic. The global economic value of counterfeiting and piracy could reach $2.3 trillion by 2022, with job losses totaling in excess of 5 million. Counterfeiting is a growing and increasingly dangerous global problem. It can threaten the health, safety and livelihoods of consumers, as well as the economic competitiveness of the territories in which they live. The call has been made for Government to do more. Have they answered? What can they do to control these numbers? As usual the answer lies with technology and perhaps the blockchain.

While Andrew Hoffman still loves gold, he says it’s becoming an extremely boring topic, given how powerful government control (for now) has become on the gold market. He’s now spending 90% of his time on Bitcoin/crypto.

(https://cryptogoldcentral.com/2017/09/23/big-value-in-small-packages-why-bitcoin-and-gold-not-silver-are-the-future-of-wealth-storage/)

Today’s principal topic is the “Bitcoin Big Bang”, when Draghi said of crypto, “it would actually not be in our powers to prohibit and regulate them.”

Also, the upcoming SegWit 2x and B-Gold hard forks, exploding 2018 crypto capital and investment spending, and whether Litecoin is “silver to Bitcoin’s gold.”

Gerald Celente of The Trends Journal joined us today. Gerald is thinking that #Bitcoin, etc., is just another manifestation of populism. People are waking up to what governments are all about and that’s leading to other ways to store value outside the government sanctioned systems. Gold is in a upward pattern but needs to break $1400 for the next move upward, which could be parabolic once it does. And Gerald also forecast the election of Trump and the rising stock market, adding to his record

Danielle thinks we’re heading for 12 years of subpar returns and she may be overly optimistic on that score. Let’s see what happens next!

Kate Stalter knows that planning for retirement is composed of many factors and goals. Chief among them is that you don’t want to outlive your money. Otherwise you might wind up as a greeter at Walmart. But that’s only the beginning. You need to think about spouses, children and many other things. Kate also gives a very candid view of annuities. They might be right for some, but very wrong for many others. Much sage advice from someone who’s been in the business a while.

As we wrote previously, President Trump is on a mission to destroy the MSM. The NFL is going to be collateral damage in the process. To beat the media, you have to hit them where it hurts, in the wallet and Trump is doing just that. It’s all part of a strategy. This is a hard time for sports. A massive college basketball scandal just broke. Well known coaches have been getting huge kickbacks to steer talented student athletes to financial people and sneaker sponsors. Just breaking, it’s gonna be huge! The profs at Cornell University will be doing a sympathy kneel-in to show solidarity with the NFL. What a shock. And lots more!

We all know that President Trump is a buffoon, has low intelligence and is incapable of any strategic thought or planning. The media and the democratic party has beaten him at every turn. The White House’s prior occupant laid out a carefully placed minefield, which has blown up on various Trump personnel and family members. And yet, Trump won the presidency with something carefully resembling an ingenious strategy, which saw him winning in Blue states, formerly believed to be unwinnable by a republican.

There must be something more at play here than meets the eye. Perhaps the President has a lot more going for him than is widely believed. Were this not the case, we’d now be saying President Hillary Clinton. The current NFL brouhaha is a textbook example. There’s no disputing that the dying mainstream media is Trump’s sworn enemy. Therefore, it seems reasonable that Trump will go to any extent necessary to vanquish this foe. Tweeting at daybreak, when most reporters are starting to come to grips with the day’s hangover, or trolling them with deliberate minor factual misstatements, which throws them into a frenzy, he never lets up. Trump is this war’s aggressor and he’s totally gotten into their decision loop.

John Rubino asks what’s happening to the country and the world? We see signs all over the place. In the US, it’s the NFL vs. Trump. The Spanish are calling up the rear guard before the Catalonian referendum and the Kurds are getting ready to make their move to form a country. Add to that North Korea, Iran and Venezuela and there’s your proof, as if you needed any anyway.

Patrick Donnelly, president of our sponsor First Mining Finance, joined us today. He had exciting news, the PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment) came in on their Springpole project and it’s way better than anyone reasonably expected. While the Company’s stock has been flat since the rebalancing of the GDX-J ETF, Patrick believes that this has created a great opportunity. He’s seeing increased interest from major miners looking to restock and replenish their reserves. And best of all, as we’ve said in the past, all of First Mining’s projects are in stable jurisdictions with first class infrastructure. Is FF’s time coming soon?

Senior Fellow Seth Cropsey began his career in government at the Defense Department as Assistant to the Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and has been involved with the Navy ever since. The recent series of mishaps isn’t due to hacking. Rather, the problem is that American seapower is over-stretched. At the end of the Cold War, the U.S. combat fleet numbered approximately 600 ships. Today we have 276. The requirements that the Navy is asked to fill have been increasing steadily since a few years after the Cold War ended.

David Morgan‘s weekly perspective for September 22nd, 2017…

Charles Hugh Smith, financialization and the destruction of the real economy. Financialization eventually destroys an economy. Everyone is trying to sell everyone financial instruments. Nothing is really produced. The financial structure is really very fragile. The ability of the system to seize up is very real. PM Trudeau was extolling the virtues of globalization. But in reality how much has it really accomplished, other than increasing debt? The Fed said they’re going to unwind their balance sheet. It will take them 23 years at the announced rate. The entire system is coming apart as we speak. The macro picture, where we’re at. Transports rise to new record levels. Toys-R-Us files for BK. Retail is suffering greatly. Trucking index hit new records. Oil and gas trading above its 200 moving average. And lot’s more.

According to our good friend Alasdair MacLeod of GoldMoney.com, China is booming and taking the rest of the world with it, except for the US that is.

The US has isolated itself and is being left in the dust. China has shifted their economy away from making junk to high quality, hi-tech goods.

Will it work? What about all the debt they’ve created in mean time? Let’s see what happens next.

Ivan Eland joined us again… President Trump spoke at the UN yesterday. Many of his policy aspirations echo those of Andrew Jackson. America First! Let other countries fight their own battles, with the US’s support. He also castigated the UN’s corruption and wastefulness. How he will square his stated policy with the continued ground war in Afghanistan is another issue. Nation building is still taking place and there’s no end in sight and there’s no way to determine if we’re winning. A quagmire.

Former congressman John LeBoutillier and I squared off about the Trump investigation. John believes there’s something there and that the President has reason to be concerned. I’m skeptical of the entire witch hunt. The Russians are coming was a great movie, but not so good a political meme. Let’s see what happens next. And let’s see the republicans go into full scale panic mode to pas the Trump Agenda, or at least major parts of it. They’re scared to death about the 2018 elections.

Andrew Hoffman reports that after being in business for 8 days, things are going great. Check out his special 7 day free trial at CryptoGoldCentral.com. Gold’s fundamentals keep getting stronger. Gold’s still at $1310. We talked about China’s efforts to contain Bitcoin and the Crypto-Currencies. Today’s historic Fed meeting. Claims that they’re going to reduce their balance sheet are nonsense. It can’t be done. We’re never going above 2.5% rates, proof is today we’re at 2.2%. We’re missing two interest rate hikes promised for this year. Just wait till the King of Debt Donald Trump really kicks into high gear.

Richard C. Cella, III talks about how the Equifax data breach that potentially affects 143 million U.S. customers, nearly two-thirds of the adult U.S. population, could be quite the mess to clean up. The hackers had access to EFX, -14.23% data from May until July 2017, which included Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers and credit card numbers, among other data.The company detected the breach on July 29, it said, and hired a cybersecurity firm to determine what data the hackers accessed. But in the time it took for the company to alert customers who could be affected, hackers could have used their data for purposes including opening credit cards or other lines of credit. And any impact on their credit scores of erroneous activity could take years to repair. Here’s how to know if you were affected and what to do next: Check if your data was breached.Equifax created a website consumers can check if their data was breached, www.equifaxsecurity2017.com. The company said it would offer a free year of service from its subsidiary, TrustedID, which monitors credit reports from Equifax as well as Experian EXPN, -1.38% and TransUnion TRU, -4.66% , as well as offering identity theft insurance and internet scanning for social security numbers. Equifax will also send direct mail notices to consumers whose credit card numbers or personal information were impacted. (The company did not immediately reply to a request for comment.) Customers should immediately freeze their accounts at all three credit bureaus, said Adam Levin, a consumer advocate and chairman of security firm CyberScout. This restricts access to your credit report, which helps prevent other credit card companies accessing it to open up new accounts.

David Morgan‘s weekly perspective for September 15th, 2017…

From Zerohedge, the most important chart in the world – the US Dollar. Penetrated the 94 level which is a big resistance point. Lower dollar prices ahead, but a short term small bounce is probably in the cards which, will pressure gold. The implications are tremendous. Higher profits for multi-nationals. The number of Americans living hand to mouth is astoundingly high. The middle class is getting wiped out here and abroad. It’s the elite vs. the lower class. Debt markets, the bond market, US debt has massive one day increase. Rates at 2.2%. What would happen if interest rates were allowed to rise to 5%? There’s no way the US gov’t can afford to allow rates to rise. At 5% interest payments would rise to $1 trillion. They’re not going higher. Those in the know will act accordingly. Gold, silver and precious metals will be the beneficiary. Printing wealth doesn’t and cannot work. Equity markets according to Charles Hugh Smith is that this time is different. It’s terribly bearish. Nothing has been fixed. The policy fixes have weakened the system.

John Rubino notes that the stock market keeps going higher on bad economic news. How’s that supposed to work and can it keep going higher? Then in precious metals, the COT (commitment of traders) report flashed a bearish sign and right on schedule gold and silver have gone down. How long will it last for? Not too much longer, we would venture a guess. Especially with the upcoming Chinese Oil Contract that will be payable in gold. Things are heating up.

State Dept. asked embassy security firm to replace benghazi guards one week before attack… And then instructed them to remain silent. Brad Owens recounts that 11 days before the attack on the U.S. Benghazi compound in 2012, the State Department asked Torres Advanced Solutions, an embassy security contractor, to replace the guard force then protecting the facility because it was the compound by its current contractor. The attack came just as Torres was gearing up to move in and take over the task of guarding the facility. After the September 11th attacks destroyed the compound and killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, the State Department instructed Torres and associates not to reveal that the request to move in and take over had been made. In addition, the State Department demanded that Torres’s force be unarmed, just like the guard force then deployed. Torres objected and said that they planned to arm the guards anyway. The State Department also instructed them not to reveal the request that the guards be unarmed. None of these facts have been disclosed previously.

Just moved my studio once again. What a pain it can be. I can hook up the mixer and microphone and all the equipment within 15-20 minutes. But then comes the hard part, making your show sound as good as it was in your old studio. This was a real challenge in my new studio, because it had a lot of echo and it’s a very lively room. In addition, the Skype signal was constantly dropping and getting garbled. I even received several complaints from our listeners saying that the show’s audio quality had noticeably declined. What to do? I didn’t want to foam the place, which is the obvious solution. I hate the way it looks and it ruins the pain. I was watching an episode of the hit TV show The Profit. Marcus Lemonis invested in a firm Overtone Acoustics. They manufacture acoustic panels to reduce echo and help the sound profile of your room. I figured, probably won’t work but I’ll give it a try. I ordered 6 2’x4′ panels. They weigh about 7 pounds each and look like cloth panels. They’re stuffed with acoustic absorption material. I mounted them and the change was amazing. They’re not cheap at around $80 each, but well worth it. To fix the Skype issues, I connected an ethernet cable right from my computer to the WiFi router. Presto, no more Skype issues. Evidently, I had a misbehaved WiFi signal that was causing all the problems. I guess the answer is don’t move unless you absolutely have to. I should probably put together a moving check list, should I move again. Don’t forget to purchase my book, Viral Podcasting. Just click the link.

Danielle Park had an interesting article on her site written by CNBC anchor Steve Sedgwick. He explores the concept of the Spend Now, Pay Never attitude that has swept the UK (and the US as well). Millions have leased shiny new cars and will never own them. They’ll never be paid off. This is a symptom of declining savings rates in many countries. Interesting turn of events. This story closely correlates with the fact that most of us concerning our personal finance, as in life, are our own worst enemies. We engage in long-term destructive behaviors for the sake of a short pleasure. In addition, we then look to correct a life time of failed financial planning by upping our appetite for risk, while being cheered on by the financial industry. A recipe for disaster.

Peter Schiff joined us to discuss the latest developments in the economic landscape. Contrary to MSM opinion, the crash of 2008 was only a precursor to what’s coming next. And unlike Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, there’s no hiding from it. When it hits, not if, the devastation to the financial system will be the equivalent of a Cat 5 making a direct hit on Wall Street. Time to prepare now before it’s too late. Gold, silver but not Bitcoin as it’s not worth the paper it’s not printed on.
