Ralph de Costa Nunez erved in the Edward Koch mayoral administration. He held the late mayor in high esteem. During his tenure with the Koch Administration, his view towards education and poverty changed dramatically. While he stills believes that it is the government’s responsibility to provide good schools and economic opportunity and mobility, he realizes that there are limitations. While it would be nice if we could banish illiteracy or poverty with the stroke of a pen, the reality is that much more needs to be done. And the government alone cannot get it done.

In an industry where many of the veterans just started shaving, Barry Stuppler stands out. He’s been in the precious metals arena for decades and actually remembers the last bull market. He’s just written a new free report on hyperinflation. He doesn’t see anyway out of it and he’s probably right. He’s expecting at 20 percent inflation, perhaps higher. Your only salvation is gold and silver. History shows that this duo is the ultimate wealth protection system. While politicians can print up virtually unlimited amounts of fiat currency, they haven’t yet figured out how to create gold from lead, or other base metals. This insures that their purchasing power will increase after credit busts take place. It always has and always will.

Ranting Andy Hoffman thinks that the Pope’s retirement will cause a precious metals crash, since the Pope is a major precious metals buyer. Goldman Sachs cut employment estimates due to Nemo. Whatever happened to seasonal adjustments? And a storm that hits over the weekend can have such a statistical impact? Just like all the other numbers are cooked, so is this one. Many of the junior miners are facing their own extinction event, but you get to buy gold and silver at drastically subsidized prices. America really is a wonderful place.

Peter Schiff is a regular guest on FSN. He was way ahead of all the so-called experts, predicting the real estate crash at a time when Wall Street was still raking in the profits. We ran into him in the Bahamas at the Global Economic Summit. While others believe that country can still be saved, Peter believes that only a currency collapse, along with a complete cessation of easy credit is the only thing that can bring America to its senses. While there are certainly dangers from such an approach, it may be the only way to get Americans to accept the tough economic medicine that we so desperately need.

Yaron Brook as head of the Ayn Rand Institute is one of the greatest propents of capitalism today. He believes that business people need to be unapologetic for their financial successes. He’s also for eliminating the hybrid socialist/capitalist system that exists in contemporary America today. Although this is easier said than done, he sees renewed and continual interest in Ayn Rand’s writings and beliefs as a positive note. While presently it appears that the collectivists are winning, the battle is by no means over.

Joel Stern studied under Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago. Joel took that knowledge and has helped hundreds of companies raise profits and reward employees for their peformance. His system even helped the US Postal service turn a profit for nearly a decade, until new management abandoned the pla . Joel doesn’t believe in dividends and prefers that a compay reinvest their profits into new opportunities. We agreed to disagree on that point. But Joel’s EVA system has proven its worth with over 800 companies worldwide in companies like Coca-Cola, Tata Industries and many more.

Walter M. “Marty” Cummins Jr. believes that when people act as enlightened capitalists there is no problem that cannot be solved. Unfortunately the public perception of businessmen and businesses is quite negative. Marty is trying to change all that. By helping people to understand economic issues and how free markets and enlightened capitalism have raised the world out of poverty into prosperity. In fact, capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than all the government programs combined could ever accomplish.

We ran into Peter Schiff earlier today. He was answering questions from the group. He’s not convinced that the real estate boom we’ve been seeing is for real. He thinks it’s all part of the funny money Ponzi scheming Federal Reserve plot to make us all believe that things are better than they appear to be. Inflation is roaring along at nearly 6 percent, notwithstanding the government’s claims that it’s less than 2 percent. Interest rates have no where to go but up and this will eventually cause real estate prices to crater.

Mark Skousen founded Freedom Fest so that like-minded liberty loving people could regularly meet and discuss ways and means to further liberty throughout the world. Amazingly, before Skousen came up with the concept, no such meetings existed. Now there are several such groups and the liberty movement appears to be picking up steam. Perhaps people around the world are waking up to the fact that governments are doing their best to deprive their citizens of their inalienable rights, or perhaps they understand that it’s just the right thing to do. Either way, we need many more people to get involved and take up the fight.

We arrived at Nassau, Bahamas for Mark Skousen’s Global Financial Summit, which is a Freedom Fest production. The changes on the island were striking. First we arrived at the new airport, a project that took nearly 5 years to complete. The Bahamian Government gave it over to a Canadian Company in exchange for future payments. Controversial perhaps, but they got the job done for next to nothing. Next, the Chinese are building a $2.6 hotel casino–Baha Mar. The project seems to be economically unviable. Is the real purpose to colonize the Bahamas, stash money out of the reach of the Communist Party, establish a forward operating base for a future conflict with the US or all of the above? We’re not sure, but they shipped in 5,000 plus Chinese workers who are living on the site, in temporary housing that’s fenced in. Some might call it a concentration camp. It is distrubing that such a workers’ paradise just sprang up so close to the US.

USAWatchdog’s Greg Hunter is back for another installment. The government has finally decided to crack down on the financial institutions responsible for the collapse. Well not quite, just lowly Standard & Poors the rating agency. This is the same agency that cut the United States’ credit rating and will probably be doing it again shortly. So perhaps there’s more to this law suit than just punishing S&P for their alleged misdeeds in jacking up the ratings on dubious mortgage backed securities. Then there’s the recent Justice Department Memo that came out supporting extra-judicial killing of American Citizens anywhere in the world, even in the absence of any proof!

When we last talked to Tyler Gallagher he had just invested the bulk of his assets into physical silver. That was 6 weeks ago and nothing has happened to change his mind. During this time we have seen a virtual run on the US Mint’s Silver Eagle sales program. Over 7.5 million were sold in less than three weeks! A new record, which means that the world is waking up to the realities of fiat currency. In the physical market premiums have increased for Silver Eagles and 90 percent silver. These trends show a divergence between the paper and physical markets that’s going increase over the coming months and years.

He believes that if you have a system to attract new clients and follow through, success is virtually certain. Today, more people than ever have become accidental entrepreneurs. Cradle to grave employment and benefits no longer exist. Therefore, self-reliance and rugged invidualism are making a return in America and very few people actually realize that it’s happening.

Commander David E. Stevens has written a remarkable book trilogy that’s an apocalyptic thriller. The story starts out with Navy Commander Josh Logan attempting to prevent his burning fighter from crashing into a neighborhood. He ejects too late and is injured, however he’s provided a new mission in life. He’s tasked with exploiting highly classified military technology to stop a global cataclysm. Dave wrote the book for the same reasons we do the Financial Survival Network. To warn people of the potential calamities ahead and to plan accordingly for them. It’s that simple, yet the politicians will not pay attention until it’s too late.

DollarVigilante writer and editor Gary Gibson joined us today. He’s grappling with the same problems as the rest of us. Seems the government just won’t let us lead our lives and be free. But then again, when has a government ever just left its citizens alone to pursue happiness. Not very many times in history has that been the case. While there are certain things that Gary likes about the country, he sees our moral and economic slide as inevitably leading to collapse. So the problem is where to go, if any where, and Gary doesn’t yet have an answer to that one.

Ranting Andy Hoffman was right on time with his Monday rant. And exactly what he predicted last week is what came to pass. Interest rates were closing in at 2 percent and action had to be taken to prevent it. Today, interest rates are coming back down and all is right with the world, to most people. However, those buying precious metals see something else entirely different transpiring. How else can the record silver eagle sales at the US Mint be explained. Whileax the markets may be rigged, at least some people are busy stocking up on economic essentials.

“Move out of the politics of self-pity, and become a poised voter!” — says leadership adviser Gary Stokes, who has coached presidential appointees of both parties. As the 2012 election activities wind down, Stokes says many voters remain angry, impatient and judgmental with fellow citizens on the other side of the “great political divide between conservatives and liberals.”

We’ve had this discussion before, but now it’s becoming more and more apparent. The Texas economy is booming. Governor Rick Perry wants to pass a constitutional amendment to return a portion of the state’s sizeable surplus to its citizens. New York’s economy is in the pits. It’s going through its annual ritual of scrounging for citizen dollars. Now Governor Cuomo is trying to pass a constitutional amendment to allow widespread casino gambling. Governor Perry believes that Frackers create wealth. Governor Cuomo believes that Croupiers perform this task. Who’s right? Texas has a $12 billion rainy day fund, whereas New York’s budget is always having stormy financial weather. Who do you think is right?

I was recently honored by the Silver Stackers of Western Australia, when they asked me to address their annual gathering in Perth Australia. While I was unable to physically attend, through the miracle of the internet, I was able to speak to the group as if I was actually there. Imagine that, just a couple of years ago no one knew who I was, and most still don’t. However, the people who understand what’s really happening and are not content to just sit around and wait for it to occur, are listening to your host and many others the world over! Now that’s progress.

Brian Vanyo has written a book The American Ideology. In it he explains how the Founding Fathers helped create a country where people were encouraged to keep and treasure their God-given rights. The individual was supreme and the state was merely intended to protect the individual’s rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Fast forward to today, we have large portions of the populace dependent upon the generosity of the state. So many of the nation’s ills can be traced back to the failure to honor the Founders’ intent. But it’s not too late to change and Brian’s got some great ideas about returning to our ideals.

Greg Fettig is a leader of the leaderless Tea Party. It’s been tough sledding lately. With Obama’s re-election, the defeat of several high profile Tea Party backed senate candidates and the capitulation of the House Republicans, there’s not a lot to be hopeful about. But Gregg is still fighting. He’s looking for higher caliber candidates who can withstand the withering press scrutiny, to mobilize behind. The bottom line is that the Tea Party understands that there is something dreadfully wrong with the direction the country and the world is headed. They’re trying to do something about it, but it’s an uphill battle.

Roger Sorkin is busy raising funds to produce The Burden. He believes that finding other energy sources should be a national priority, up there with the Manhattan Project. Getting fuel to the troops in Afghanistan can cost as much as $400 per gallon! Not to mention that many of the Western World’s sources of energy are in areas that are unfriendly or hostile to its interests. Therefore, it’s extremely important to start the process now. The military is firmly behind this effort, as they understand better than anyone the high stakes involved.

Arch Crawford was back with more insights from the technical indicators and the stars. As if you didn’t know already, things are pretty bleak. The world recession has continued on, despite the protestations of the ruling elite to the contrary. Arch sees this as a long term cycle and reiterated his belief that you need to store up on gold, silver, food and even guns. He’s been stating a similar message for many months and while some of his predictions haven’t totally worked out, he’s been spot-on enough so that he should be listened to.

Carl Jarvis believes that monetary debasement leads to moral debasement. He traces many of today’s societal ills back to the abandonment of sound money. Many problems, even the gun control issue are manifestations of that underlying disease. In addition, the breakdown of the political parties is yet another sympton. Until we get back on a sound monetary footing, there can be no hope of lasting reform and rebirth for the country. Unfortunately, we can’t even have a political debate on this important issue, because there is no longer political debate in America.
