Dr. Chester Wilk has taken on a lot of adversaries in his life, once defeating the powerful American Medical Association in an anti-trust action. He attributes many of his predictions to his guardian angel who helped him when he was young. Now he’s on a new mission, trying to save America from the devil and Barack Obama, whom he believes is doing the devil’s work. We’re hoping he’s successful because he certainly has his work cut out for him.

We talked with D.S. Brown today, author of the book Why I Voted For President Barack Hussein Obama II. While the title may give you certain ideas and predispositions about D.S.’s political agenda, I found him to be a thinker. While I didn’t agree with many of his opinions, I found him to be engaging and well informed, the anti-thesis of your typical progressive. While I couldn’t quite convince him that the mass ammo and weapon purchases by DHS are for nefarious purposes, he nonetheless admitted that it required an explanation. We look forward to having D.S. on again to discuss other important issues facing America and the World.

Danielle Park and I have been expecting an event such as what happened in Cyprus over the weekend. Once the systemic crack becomes apparent it will be too late to do anything about it. The time to act is now. Forget risk on, risk off. It’s time to really start planning and protect your wealth, whatever you may have left of it. The collapse has been caused by a complete lack of morality and adherence to the rule of law. Once the rule of law no longer protects individuals from the powerful financial class, confidence is lost and the system implodes. We’re on our way now. When it will happen is anyone’s guess, but be assured it will happen!

Robert K. Lifton has been Donald Trump’s landlord, talked with presidents Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, met with Nelson Mandela and Yasser Arafat, worked with prime ministers and sultans to try to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and fended off overtures from Jimmy Hoffa—and that’s just his shortlist of accomplishments. Listen to him as we discuss the entrepreneurial spirit.

Ambassador Fred J. Eckert and his new book about the dumbest things Barack Obama has said—That’s a Crock, Barack—is an exploration into the lies that the American Public is told and the media’s complete indifference to telling the truth when it doesn’t fit their meme. The examples are legendary, funny and instructive. By going statement by statement, Ambassador Eckert helps expose the wizard behind the curtain.

Ranting Andy Hoffman joined us for a followup to yesterday’s emergency report on the chaos enveloping Cyprus. While most Americans haven’t a clue where the island nation may be, they’re going to find out soon. Putin and his cronies are none to happy with the resolution either. Meanwhile, the Cypriot banks will remain closed until at least Thursday while their government tries to get enough votes to confirm this Faustian bargain. Gold is up, the Euro’s down and there’s much more to come.

Perhaps you’re unaware of what took place over the weekend. Cyprus, an island in the Mediterranean went bust. Their banks required a life saving bailout from the European Central Bank. The help came with a steep price tag. In exchange for $13 billion in aid, account holders were required to forfeit up to 10 percent of their deposits. This is earth shattering. It is a major confidence destruction event. When it comes to fiat currency and fractional reserve banking, confidence is the mother’s milk of the system. Now that it’s dried up, the rest of the great unwinding has begun.

Ranting Andy Hoffman and I connected for a rare Sunday session. The subject of course was the botched bank bailout in Cyprus and the resulting bank run. Could this be the black swan event that catapults gold and silver higher the world into utter chaos. Obviously there will be a large flow of funds into the US Dollar. But Andy believes that propaganda machine has been permanently broken and the end of the gold cartel is upon us. How many billions will the precious metals shorts lose in the next week? We know from massive deliveries on the Comex that a loss of confidence event is very close. Andy, myself and dozens of my other guests have been warning about this for years. Will the elites be able to forestall the collapse yet one more time? Doubtful, but anything is possible.

Jeff Berwick joined us from sunny Acapulco. He’s alarmed by the rapid erosion of individual rights in the US and the Western World. When a Frenchman defects to Russia for it’s low taxes, you just can’t ignore that. The justice department appears to have little regard for the constitutional protections that all Americans were supposedly born with. Perhaps the purported gun grab is just a diversion for what’s really going on and for the next freedom busting move by the government.

Nick Santiago has been buying gold since 2004. So he obviously must know something. He likes the chart right now and believes that we may very well have hit bottom on precious metals prices. In any event, he’s a buyer now and also he’s looking closely at the miners. Newmont is a high quality company that’s paying a large 4.3% dividend. And there’s many companies out there just like Newmont. The fundamentals of what’s happening to the US and the World Economy are gold’s best friend.

Harvey Organ joined us this evening for a lengthy discussion of the enormous Comex physical gold deliveries in February and March, traditional non-delivery months. He believes that there’s a loss of market confidence taking place. China is taking delivery and shipping the metal to their shores. Harvey thinks that the markets and the international financial system is in a precarious place at this moment. There’s no way out of it and at some point-after the collapse, countries will have to get together and revalue their currencies in gold. It all makes for very interesting times.

We met up with Warren Meyer today to discuss a number of things. Among them, Steven Rattner’s trepidation over crowd-source funding. Also we discussed the upcoming Obamacare debacle and how bad it’s going to be for Americans, just on a supply-demand basis, without even looking at the many unintended consequences. The current administration is always hammering away at business and the free market, except for the privileged crony-capitalist class who can do no wrong.

Niki Pfeiffer is a successful entrepreneur who’s come to the belief that business plans are somewhat obsolete. Rather she believes that having a working model of your business, knowing your customers and following your passion is the way to go. Business plans can take too long and can actually get in the way of your start-up. She says that even venture capitalists are shying away from them now. Niki thinks that having a more flexible and efficient approach is the way to go. And who are we to argue, so far it’s been work well for her.

Today we spoke to Dr. Richard Ruhling. He’s a cardiologist and board-certified internist who taught Health Science at Loma Linda University. He says he made three interesting discoveries while teaching. He believes that the leading cause of death is reaction between various pharmaceutical drugs that have been prescribed. The numbers are quite staggering, amounting to hundreds of thousands of people every years. Therefore, you need to take control of your health as soon as possible before things get any worse.

We connected with Les Gold, star of the hit show Hardcore Pawn joined us today on FSN. Just like on the show, Les is charismatic, intelligent and extremely articulate. We talked about the store, his family and his history as a pawn broker. Les has built a huge business right in the heart of downtown Detroit. He’s extremely proud of the work he does. For so many people, he’s not just their last hope, he’s their only hope. Every month dozens of people avoid eviction, feed their families and keep going because of Les. As far as future political plans, Les thinks that Detroit’s Mayor and Michigan’s Governor have it covered. However, he’d gladly become a consultant to Detroit, perhaps chief negotiator would be the proper role. FSN still believes he’s the man for the Emergency City Manger slot. His book, For What It’s Worth is coming out in June so stay tuned.

Dan Collins of the The China Money Report sees smooth sailing for the Chinese economy. He believes that much Western reporting that makes numerous claims of an economic bubble are gross exaggerations. The ghost cities are largely overblown. Most Chinese are cash buyers and even those that take out mortgages still put up 30 percent. China has become the largest trading nation in the world. Its currency is set to supplant the dollar over the next several years. Their main problems are inflation and the environment-which continues to rapidly deteriorate. Dan believes the best way for Americans to play the China story is by investing in Hong Kong. Right now HK dollar is pegged to the US dollar, but many experts expect that peg to soon break. That will lead to massive profits for those holding the HK$.

And then there’s an emerging technology area of palm/biometric security where he sees the next big thing. It will greatly enhance security and insure proper record management in crucial applications such as medicine.

Dr. Alieta Eck has been practicing medicine for many years. She’s an unabashed critic of the current medical system. She believes that Obamacare is only going to make things worse. Expanding the failing Medicaid system, will only result in more failure, guaranteed. Medicaid refuses to pay doctors enough to make it a work. The solutions to the system are to be found in good old fashioned voluntarism and the free market. By having the government handle any medical malpractice claims, doctors will be free to concentrate on treatments and not high-priced CYA medical testing. This isn’t just theory, Dr. Eck has done it in New Jersey and hopes that it will spread across the county.

Today New York Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling struck down Mayor Michael The Nanny Bloomberg’s ban on large servings of sugary soft drinks at the City’s restaurants, delis, theaters and bars. His ruling chastized the mayor for over stepping his authority and stated that the actions of the New York City Board of Health were arbitrary and capricous. Bloomberg has vowed to immediately appeal, however from this veteran court observer’s view, the decision is pretty much bullet-proof!

Another Monday, another rant. Ranting Andy joins us for a look into the murky world of job reporting. Guess what! This report is as fake as all the others, aren’t you shocked? Seems we’re becoming a nation of part-timers. No wonder government work is so sought after. If you’re going to work part-time, you might as well get paid full time wages. Also, we saw another $100 billion surreptiously shipped off to European banks by the magnanimous Fed. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Where it alls no one can guess, but end it will.

Well known author, Andrew Blum, spent quite a while studying the Internet’s infrastructure. He visited dozens of data centers, switching points and other key internet distribution points. He’s concluded that the Internet is a network of networks that is full of its own unique system of checks and balances. While parts of the network can be attacked and disabled, other parts continue on unabated. Amazingly, the system was never centrally designed or planned. It evolved over time, with countless contributors. Perhaps it’s a lesson in the proper design of complex systems.

Michael gives a detailed explanation of which taxes have increased as well other significant changes that will have a major impact if you’re a high earning taxpayer.

Now he helps other people realize and take advantage of similar opportunities. It’s one thing to have an idea for a new business, it’s quite another thing to actually go out and do it. While WL is a religious person, he believes most strongly in the ability of the individual to succeed, even in the face of the most challenging circumstances.

Today was a first on FSN. Our guest, Jo Comerford of National Priorities Project, ended the interview early. Perhaps I was a bit too aggressive, but when someone tells me that we’re not spending enough money on education or health or a myriad of other federal programs, I guess I go into overdrive. Ms. Comerford is a very sincere policy wonk. She believes that government programs like home heating assistance are beneficial and help people. She also believes that we’re not spending enough on programs like Head Start and other well intentioned initiatives and she feels that there’s plenty of money available for them. I challenged her on these points and she beat a hasty retreat. You decide who has the better argument.

We caught up again with Diana Zoppa. We covered more ways to save money and to insure that you’ll have enough leftover funds to put into gold and silver. We also discussed Rand Paul’s filibuster and how much difference it’s really going to make. If the Attorney General of the United States, the highest law enforcement officer in the nation, can’t state for the record that drone attacks non-combatant citizens at a Starbucks is forbidden by the Constitution, then we have certainly come a long way from what the Founding Fathers envisioned.

Ned Schmidt is a financial engineer specializing in global capital flows. He has been an advocate and practitioner of value oriented investing for thirty years. He is absolutely certain that gold and silver are going up. Once the funds see the folly of the stock market, they’ll come running back to commodities. However, if you try to catch the bottom of the market, you’ll probably wind up shut out. And there’s plenty of opportunities. Newmont Mining is yielding 4.4% and Barrack is at 2.7%. These returns are way higher than bonds and other fixed return investments.

Jordan Roy Byrne, a frequent contributor to FSN, joined us for a precious metals market update. He’s unconcerned about the consolidation over the past 18 months. This is typical of what happens in a bull market. There are always pullbacks and consolidations and this time is no different. You shouldn’t be staying nights worry about where the metals are heading. Nothing in the world has happened to change his view. Money printing continues unabated. The economy continues down and gold and silver will resume their upward advance.

Kenton Ralph Toews of Sprott Global Resources joined us to discuss the current trends in precious metals and the markets. Kenton believes that new monetary systems are evolving now and that we will end up with a system of gold backed BitCoins or something very similar. People are fed up with the Fed’s ability to create trillions of currency units on a whim and the world financial system can no longer abide by it. This means that money will change, whether the US and the EU approve or not.
