Pastor Britt Minshall didn’t start out in the clergy. Rather he founded a private security company on the Jersey Shore after his participation in the Freedom Riders Movement ended his prospect of becoming a police officer. From there, he had a religious experience which transformed his life and he went on to lead several churches. He’s written a number of books and believes the key to solving society’s problems is to stop being afraid and to connect with our fellow humans. Once we do this on a large scale a truly remarkable transformation will take place.

Judge David Minier (Ret.) still tries cases around California and is a diehard advocate for liberty. He’s sees Obama confiscating guns, restricting economic opportunity and completely undermining the American way of life. He believes that if we don’t start fighting back soon, your children and their children will be condemned to a life of tyranny. Socialists always claim that if only the right people were running things, it would succeed. However, we all know that this is never case. Socialism, collectivism and statism are at their core failures, and their proponents always blame it all on capitalism. America must wake up to these facts soon, or face dire consequences.

We caught up with Diana Zoppa today. Like many women, she’s an expert at saving her husband money on her purchases. However, Diana has a talent to maintain her family’s standard of living while cutting back on many unessential expenditures. We’re continuing this series and expect to help save you a veritable fortune. We also talked about higher gold and silver prices. And the fact that there’s no point in saving money, unless you put it into real money, gold and silver.

We caught up with Robert Ian in Las Vegas at the New Media Expo. He was filled with major optimism about the housing recovery, not. There are over 6 million home owners who have either stopped paying their mortgages or they are seriously delinquent. The banks as per the Fed have been in no hurry to repossess these homes. This has led to the creation of a shadow inventory, homes existing in a financial limbo with virtually no chance of being brought back into the market in the near future. The housing supply has been artificially shrunk and these broke homeowners get to remain in their homes rent and payment free. Isn’t America a great country?

It’s time for Mickey Fulp‘s year-end market review. Year-end reviews are extremely important, especially in a year when the world was supposed to end on December 21. Mickey and I reviewed the major markets and found some interesting trends. The major and emerging stock markets did very well in 2012. Oil was down in the US and up in the rest of the world. Even the depressed natural gas price went up. The dollar and the euro were pretty stable. Gold and silver both were up. Check out the review to see where the markets finished up.

Ranting Andy Hoffman joins us for yet another Monday Rant. The metals are under attack but it won’t matter. 2.5 years worth of blatant manipulation is coming to an end, probably towards the middle of January, after the inauguration. To think that the US will be the only country in history to avoid a currency collapse is quite naive. Forty years is pretty much the limit for fiat currency and we’re living on borrowed time. Even Bill Gross has come to the inescapable conclusion that hyperinflation is inevitable.

Mickey Fulp, the Mercenary Geologist, joined us for the monthly market review. Basically most markets were stagnant. Silver and natural gas were the biggest losers. Every thing else was more of the same. But stagnant markets never last for very long. Reality and Black Swans have a way of catching up with them. And when that happens, volatility sky rockets and that’s what will probably happen very shortly.

Chris Duane is truly on a mission. Who else could have come up with a series of privately minted silver coins that would shake up the world’s private mints? In just three months, he’s sold an incredible number. His coins are one ounce of pure silver and they each have a unique theme dealing with the current monetary system’s exploitative aspects. The latest arrival is the Slave Queen. Take a look and have a good laugh. Buy silver now at $30, a real bargain.

James Corbett is a well known Japan-based media host. He’s now writing the editorials for the late Bob Chapman’s International Forecaster. He’s seeing a lot more of the same for 2013. 1) Heightened attacks on internet freedom, 2) Greater use of contrived emergencies to help foster and implement regional governments, leading to one world government, and 3) More locally produced food to improve nutrition and help take people off the food grid. So it’s not all doom and gloom for the year ahead, but you need to be very careful and aware of the coming changes.

Bix Weir was back with us today. Of course today was the latest rigged jobs number report. And of course gold and silver have been taken down the past two days. But the time is coming when the real values will assert themselves. Paper asset is truly an oxymoron. It is at best merely evidence of an asset’s ownership. And the day is coming when it will no longer even be that. Keep your eyes open. We’re seeing more and more signs that the system is becoming frayed and less stable. The time will come when people have to decide whether they’re just sheeple or whether they want to control their lives. Bix thinks we’re just one derivative meltdown away from it.

David Kotok is head of Cumberland Advisors and a frequent contributor to Bloomberg and CNBC. He doesn’t see inflation in the present or the future. He believes that the recovery will continue and that unemployment will continue to decline and housing will keep recovering. He knows Bernanke and supports the current Fed policies. He believes that the economy is a mess, but that eventually we’ll get to better times through the current policies. While your humble host disagrees, Mr. Kotok’s arguments are cogent, and well thought out.

Jeffrey Christian of CPM Group joined us for his take on the Fiscal Cliff and his predictions for the year ahead. As he said, “It’s much easier to predict history.” Unfortunately, it’s very hard to make money off of what happened in the past. The key to profits or to protecting your wealth is getting a glimpse of what the futre holds. Unfortunately this is extremely difficult, especially in the current economic environment. No one really knows what will happen or when. However, when we see our leaders fail to protect the country and it’s future, you need to prepare for the worst. Jeff thinks gold prices will range between $1500 to $1800. We believe these estimates are extremely conservative. Time will tell.

Rabbi Aryeh Spero of Caucus for America is a highly visible well known proponent of a moral based society. He believes that the decline of Western Civilization is due in large part to the attack/rejection/abandonment of our historic Judeo-Christian based ideals and traditions. Until we all acknowledge the problem, there will not be a workable solution to our decline. Regular attendance at a house of worship isn’t required to be a moral person. Rather the respect for what a house of worship stands for and the desire to embrace high moral standards is what is important to the individual. This is a compelling discussion on what each of us can do to restore faith in ourselves and our country.

Diana Zoppa and I returned to Catch Up after a long hiatus. The holidays and New Years always makes it difficult to connect. We finally pulled it off and we’re both planning conferences and getting ready for an intense year ahead. So start it out right and save some money. Don’t buy a new car! If you’re going to spend $100 or more, do some shopping engine searches and some Google queries. eBay is always a great place to check too. You never know what kind of bargain you’re gonna find. And while you’re at it, check out your cable service and dump as many useless features as you can. There are much less costly alternatives available.

Arch Crawford joined us today and consulted his technical and celestial charts, in an effort to try to understand the road ahead. He believes that 2013 will be a challenging year (who’d thunk it) with no clear investment trends. Gold and silver are uncertain in the near future but should break-out much higher later in the year. The US Dollar is looking okay in the intermediate term, mainly due to weakness in the other world currencies. The stock markets look ready for a major decline and yesterday’s 300 point advance on very low volume seems like confirmation. We’ll revisit Arch in the months ahead and check the accuracy of his predictions.

Your humble host against all odds survived a near catastrophic trip to Grand Bahama Island. It started with a 30 minute flight aboard an antique propeller driven aircraft, from Fort Lauderdale Airport to Freeport Bahamas that was delayed by 3 hours. It finished with a gut-wrenching 3 hour ferry ride from Freeport to Fort Lauderdale that was also delayed by three hours. The ferry ride was punctuated by periods of and sea-sick inducing waves and other unpleasantries. The moral of the story is, if you must go there, take a US flagged carrier.

Congressmen come and go, but the Kleptocracy goes on and on. What would have happened had the parties not reached a deal. Probably nothing much different than now. But maybe the price of gold and silver would have gone down instead of up. This was a complete PR event, stage-managed from the get go to make you believe that higher taxes and increased government spending are the answers to what ails the country and the economy. In the end, none of the changes necessary to save the US and the world from a complete and utter economic catastrophy have been taken. Buy gold, silver, guns and food. They will be life saving investments in 2013.

My first ever interview on Russia Today! I don’t know whether they’re a propaganda piece for Putin or a bona fide news gathering organization. You can be the judge, but they don’t seem to be any more aware of what’s really going on than anyone else. At least they asked some of the right questions, for which your humble host had more than a few answers for. Obviously not what this gent was expecting, but when you come on enter the Financial Survival Network, you take what you get. Happy New Year! May you enjoy it in peace with those who make the most difference in your life. I’m off to party.

Ranting Andy Hoffman is back again. The New Year’s Clff has arrived. Count on the powers that be in Washington to do something stupid and destructive to the country and to all of us. This group who puportedly run things has no desire to change a thing. The Republicans are not a credible deterrent to what’s happening and what will happen. The parties are pretty much identical and there is no leader in our Capital who will tell the truth, let alone try to do something about. But you can and you must. Buy gold and silver now! Miles Franklin’s sales have been off the charts for the entire fourth quarter and will continue that way into the New Year. Good luck and God Bless Everyone!

Chris Duane has been at the forefront of the world’s evolving monetary system and the re-monetization of silver. He’s not only put his blog where his mouth is, but he’s also designed a series of coins that are proving immensely popular. The first issue sold 54,000 coins/ounces in just a matter of weeks. The second one has done even better and is set to stop production by year end. It’s amazing that with precious metals prices so tightly controlled, the demand for physcial silver is so strong. We also discussed the Liberty Master Mind Meetup which will take place on June 21, 2013, in the City of Dallas, located in the Republic of Texas. Please join us. Details will come out shortly.

When it comes to understanding what’s really happening to the world’s economic system, there’s no one better than Martin Armstrong. He believes that Asia is still growing rapidly and they’ve passed reforms to help prevent future bubbles. Europe is dire straights with virtually no leadership to be found. Martin foretold this state of affairs when the Euro was created and it has lived up to his expectations. The US is in much the same situation with no deal between Obama and Boehner in site. Martin believes there is a way out and is having a conference about it in Philadelphia in March 2013. We will be there to report on it.

Ross Hansen has been involved in precious metals for nearly four decades. During this time he’s learned a thing or two about the metals markets and the US Dollar. His company, Northwest Territorial Mint, is now the largest mint in North America. He’s sees tough times ahead for the US Dollar as taxes increase, regulatons proliferate and standards of living decline. The only thing an ordinary person can do to get shelter from the coming storm is to invest in precious metals. Ross firmly believes that the current bull market in metals has no resemblance to the 1970’s bull. The government is running out of bullets, which means precious metals will become the currency of choice for those seeking to survive.

James Jaeger, Molon.us, has not been a lifetime Second Amendment Supporter, as has your host. Recently he’s come to understand the vital function this amendment plays in keeping us all free. It’s not a matter of the latest tragedy being used to promote an agenda of citizen disarmament, but rather the Founding Father’s understanding only too well that the citizens needed to hold their government accountable under any circumstances. This amendment was merely a recognition that all able bodied men were required to be armed and to join a local militia to insure the protection of all citizens.

Ken Arnone graduated from Pace University, just like your host. He did a successful stint on Wall Street for several years and then gave it all up to pursue his life’s passion, being a chef. He signed up at the world famous Culinary Institute of America (CIA) to get the skills and experience that goal required. That decision has taken him quite far in life. He is one of just 67 Certified Master Chefs in America (there’s only 300 worldwide). He consults for some of the world’s top restaurants and hospitality chains. And he’s just written a book about wine and food pairings with our recent guest Jennifer Simonetti-Bryan.

Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio has done a ground-breaking recitation and analysis of all relevant gun control arguments and his conclusions are virtually unassailable. Guns cut down on violence, save lives and property and help protect the public. Over 2.5 million times per year, guns prevent robberies and armed assaults on the public. Stefan’s coverage of this always difficult subject, especially in the aftermath of the horrid Newtown Connecticut school shooting, puts the matter into perspective and helps us to understand that the best way to stop gun crime is by allowing honest law abiding citizens to responsibly own and carry weapons.

Ranting Andy Hoffman was back for a pre-Christmas rant. He’s unflappable as usual and has no fear about where the metals prices are headed. He’s taken as much money out of the banking system as possible and is always seeking ways to further minimize his participation. Eventually, we’ll all reach a point where it’s just not practical to reduce our paper holdings any further. And that time is probably not too far off into the future. We’re getting to the point where controlling the precious metals prices will just not be possible or desirable. Especially, when famed silver trader Andrew Maguire says that premiums between the paper and physical markets are going way up.

All the mainstream country club “Bow Tie” Republicans are shaking their heads and wondering. “What went wrong?” The answer is really as simple as it is overlooked. In 2010, Republicans were swept into control of the House of Representatives and were within a stone’s throw of Senate control. Were it not for a few candidates who did themselves in as well as being done in by the establishment republican types, there may well have been a tied senate. Just two years later, Obama is re-elected and the Republicans lose ground in the House and Senate. What on earth happened?

Bix Weir avid observer of the rigged precious metals markets just informed us that the US Mint has halted production of Silver Eagles until 1-7-13. Perhaps they’re hoping that 12-21-12 really is the end of the world, so they can be relieved of the ever increasing burden of producing bullion coins. The law was recently changed and production of these coins can be halted if the Treasury Secretary gives his blessing. And that’s exactly what happened here. And no sooner was production suspended than the latest precious metals slam down took place. Will coincidences ever cease?
