Darryl Schoon is a well known scholar and expert in banking systems. He expects the system to collapse and says that the day that gold goes parabolic will be the saddest day ever, because it means that the system has collapsed. Gold and silver will go sky high because the bankers have marginalized it and have scammed the public into believing that paper has value. When the realization hits that paper money has no value, a new era will begin. And precious metals will be the foundation of that system. Acquire gold and silver but be certain to enjoy your life. There’s really nothing else you or I can do.

Bill Howald grew up in Montana in a mining family. He has a passion for finding buried treasure. And he has the plan to get it done. Hethree decades of mining industry experience, and he’s done exploration around the globe. Now he’s going for the gold in Nevada, which happens to be the most mining friendly state in the US, with no state income tax, excellent infrastructure and a stable work force. Rye has acquired a number of projects that appear to hold great potential for major gold deposits. Most importantly Rye Patch has the financing to insure that it can make Bill’s vision a reality.
Great news! We checked in with our close friend Peter Grandich and his constant stream of negative email has stopped, we hope permanently. Gold is a hated investment. It’s like going to a Chevy dealer and expecting him to sell you a Ford. Same with expecting investment professionals who want to sell you paper, not physical metal. And these so-called experts ignored that the metals markets were making higher lows, which is extremely bullish. That’s why Peter and I have remained bullish against such overwhelming negativity. An understanding of market history is very helpful and it is your key to understanding that the media is always wrong about gold and silver.
David Schectman got into selling gold purely by chance. But he realized that it was his calling and he hasn’t looked back once. He’s been following the world’s central banks economic foibles for nearly three decades. It’s been going down hill since 1971 and there’s nothing that can stop it. Major economies are giving up on the dollar and bartering among themselves. The days of living of the strength of fiat dollar are rapidly coming to an end. It will be replaced by something, which most likely be gold. That’s why it’s so important to be buying gold and silver now, before it’s too late.
Thom Reilly was Manager of Clark County Nevada, before it fell off the fiscal cliff. So no one’s in a better position than he is to understand why municipal finances are crashing all over America. The answer is quite simple. Retiree pension and health benefits are through the roof. It has gotten to the point where essential services are being scaled back to honor these ill-conceived committments. But the citizenry has had it. Their personal finances have been decimated by the Great Recession, and they want their public servants to share the burden. This means that pension contributions will be going up, retirement ages will be increased and the retirement systems will be converted to defined contribution plans. While the transition is happening slowly in many places, Wisconsin is the shape of things to come.
BrotherJohnF has been calling the current precious metals for a couple of months now. The markets are displaying much different behaviors than previously. The Asian market is picking up metals with near reckless abandon. Silver is crucial to industrial use and there are no government stock piles. Therefore, when supply gets crimped, prices will sky rocket. Which explains its volatility when compared to gold. Renewed silver investment demand could cause the price to rise several multiples over what it is now. Keep watching the silver price, it might just be the tail that wags the economic dog.
Harvey Organ is a pharmacist from Canada. He’s been the bane of the elites since 1999, when he started writing his blog, which chronicled the sick exploits of the precious metal cartel. He so attuned that it’s to the point where he knows what the cartel is going to do before they do. He’s found their major weakness too-once they’ve started a raid, they can’t stop it. In the past month, the market dynamics have changed and this has cost the cartel big time. It’s now obvious to all that the Federal Reserve is behind the chicanery. The manipulation is criminal. Money is being stolen from investors accounts and no one seems at all. But their scheme is losing its effectiveness and it’s almost game over! Harvey thinks the collapse could be here as early as this September.
Bladimir Mercedes was a victim of identity theft. Putting his financial life back together again was a daunting challenge. But it led him to his passion, which is helping people restore their reputations and to get the credit that they deserve. Amazingly, nearly 80 percent of all credit reports contain inaccuracies that can keep people from buying homes, automobiles and many of life’s necessities. Millions of people are living off off the grid. They’ve been forced to join the cash economy. There are steps that can be taken to rebuild their credit ratings and their lives. They just don’t know what to do or where to turn. That’s where Bladimir comes in. He goes head to head with the credit bureaus and the creditors and forces them to abide by the law. He’s helped so many tolegally raise their scores, enabling them to rejoin the mainstream economy.
Brandon Raub served his country honorably in Afghanistan and Iraq as a Marine Engineer. Lately he’s become incredibly disenchanted with the government and its policies. He’s been making a number of Facebook posts that somehow led him to the authories’ attention. And then it happened. The knock on the door came. In marched the Secret Service, the FBI and the local police. They took him away and tried to have him committed a local psychiatric hospital. Fortunately, this time justice prevailed and the Court set him free. 
There’s no better authority on China than Dan Collins of the China Money Report. He settled in Shanghai during college and hasn’t left. lending rates are currently at 9 percent and inflation appears to be diminishing. But that has come at a cost, much lower growth. And if Europe continues its implosion and the US goes back into recession, then China will no doubt be affected. But the Chinese has been accumulating gold for the past several years. And their silver purchases are picking up too. The world is waking up now and the fiat currency scheme will soon be gone.
Bix Weir had a few free minutes and joined us today. He’s been busy writing up a storm and he’s expecting a lot more shoes to drop in the precious metals markets. He thinks that the Cartel is on the ropes, but there’s still some life left in those market manipulators and they might be getting ready for one last grand slam down. Much like the gambler on a terrible losing streak, who keeps doubling down and praying to get even, the modern banksters are behaving in a similar manner. And why shouldn’t they, your government is there to make sure they stay afloat. It’s okay if you fail, but don’t expect them to allow a Too Big To Fail Bank to go down the tubes. That might bring down the whole house of cards and the global economy. The elites always take care of each other.
Bill Murphy is approaching a time that he often believed couldn’t happen. The Global Elite Metals Cartel appears to be dying before our very eyes. And this can only mean one thing for precious metals prices, it’s up, up and away. And we’re seeing them take off right now. Bill has reason to believe that yet another major financial scandal will be breaking very shortly. And could this be the mother of them all? The masses around the globe have been nothing short of indifferent over Libor-gate. Will this one really be different?
It was time for Catching Up with Diana Zoppa. She has been The Daily Bell’s point person for many years. She’s helped interview hundreds of financial, philosophical and economic luminaries from around the world. And she’s tough, I know from personal experience. She’s currently visiting Nathaniel Brandon, former Ayn Rand beau and co-founder of the objectivist school of philosophical thought. Amazingly, some 55 years later, this book remains a bestseller and has never been out of print. This week she also interviewed famed Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano and renowned anarchist Doug Casey. That’s a pretty intense workload. Which was a great place to start Catching Up.
First off congratulations to Alasdair. He is now the Director of Research at GoldMoney. Alasdair has been closely watching gold and silver’s rather rapid ascent and he believes that it is indicative of the rapidly deteriorating financial system. He’s hopeful that at some point the political elite will become aware of the potential disaster that their actions have cause and they will be forced to mend their evil ways. We only wish that we could believe it as well, but when was the last time you saw a politician do the right thing and put aside the interests of the global financial elite for the benefit of society as a whole? Not recently, that’s for certain.
Gerald Celente, world known, well respected trend forecaster made his debut on FSN. World War Three could break out at any moment, but even if it doesn’t you still need to prepare. Get into shape, buy healthy foods, stop buying at chain stores and support the shopkeepers of America. Start detaching from the false economy and the false political system, while you still have time. Gerald may not be perfect when it comes to exact timing, although he predicted the Crash of 1987 with amazing precision, but he knows that the Country has been lead down a dead end road and that the only way to come back from this awful fate is to to become aware and to prepare. Gerald’s knowledge of history and his amazing ability to apply its lessons to today’s world is extremely worthy of your consideration. Gerald will be coming back to FSN again and again, as we’re both fellow New Yorkers. And as Gerald says, now is not the time to be running away, stay and fight for what you believe in. Taking up arms isn’t the way to go, refusing to be controlled and living your own life are what’s important.
We’ve long been a fan of Adam Hamilton’s writing. He’s been writing for years for Kitco and his work and research is top notch. And while he’s been a bit off the mark about commodities and resource stocks for the past year, with what’s going on now in the markets, for those who stayed in them, it won’t make much difference. As the father of young children, Adam is determined to protect their world and believes that the only possible way to insure their generation is through gold and silver. And while he’s not going out on a limb as far as timing is concerned, he really doesn’t have to, as the precious metals markets seem to be taking care of him quite nicely right now. Find him at

Ranting Andy Hoffman joined us for a Tuesday rant. The situation is ugly and getting uglier. Treasuries are getting slammed and gold and silver are starting to rise. Who would have ever thought such a thing could happen? And yet, here it is larger than life. That’s because the real economy continues to contract and there’s no appetite for the powers that be-the global financial elite-to address the underlying problems. Government is the solution to all that ails man and nothing in their narrow world view is going to change that. Except the global financial cataclysm that’s coming your way. Be prepared, both with precious metals and your personal survival plan. That’s all you can do.
Inflation has killed the middle class and provided a windfall to Wall Street. The financial sector has outgrown the real economy substantially over the past 30 years. The financial sector no longer exists to allocate capital but rather to act as the “house” in the largest casino that the world has ever known. This means that over time the sector will revert to the mean, which means that it is due for a large deflation. This means that geographical diversification is essential to preserving wealth. Real estate has a money-laundering component that makes it a magnet for black market income around the world. People don’t trust the market any longer. Corzine and others have completely undermined the credibility of the system. And the debt collapse could occur at any time.
Barry Stuppler is bullish on gold and he is trying to protect US buyers from a wave of Chinese counterfeit precious metals coins and bars. Barry always has his ear to the ground and his hand on the pulse of the precious metals markets around the world. He believes that the narrow sideways price channel that the metals have been trading in for the past year is ending. He bases this opinion on his knowledge of the markets and the fact that the Chinese and Asian demand has never been stronger. China is attempting to acquire the world’s largest gold hoard. There are over 2 million Chinese who are participating in private gold purchase programs. In addition, many nations, especially the BRICS have also been busy increasing their gold positions. And of course on the European and American fronts, money printing continues unabated. So based on all these factors, Barry believes the price can only increase in the long run.
Francis Cianfrocca is a noted writer and financial authority. He feels that we are in for a very rough fall. Traditionally, most crashes occur in the fall and have been doing so for hundreds of years. It probably has something to do with the agricultural crop cycle, where loans get made earlier in the year and then the Autumnal harvest comes in. And bad harvests in our historic agricultural economy led to market crashes around the world. And even though the economy has evolved from its agricultural past, the cycle hasn’t. Also, many people have started expecting the economy to crash in the fall. And Frances believes that 2012 could be a repeat performance of 2008, only worse. Either way, we’ll find out soon.
Gary Gibson, our old friend has joined a new site. He’s working with another friend, Jeff Berwick of 
Jeffrey A. Tucker was with us today to discuss a problem that all regular air travelers must confront, the TSA. There is no other governmental interaction that is quite so dehumanizing and aggravating. While most of us agree on the need for airport and aircraft security, there is a debate on the proper methods for assuring safety. Government service seems to bring out the worst in people and the TSA is no exception. And many people question whether they provide real security or simply security theater. And who’s ever in charge of staff scheduling really doesn’t have a clue. Often there’s too many workers during slow periods and not enough during high more active times. Jeff believes that the TSA and the government could learn a lot from the way Tiffany’s Jewelry Stores provide seemless, professional and friendly security at their many locations around the world. He may just have a point.
Michael Krieger, frequent Zero Hedge contributor and proprietor of 
Danielle Park is back from vacation and joined us today to talk about the coming end of the Great Recession. While some call it a Depression, Danielle believes that the realities of the situation will have to be faced and that politicians will no longer be able to hide from them or to put them off indefinitely. This could be good news for the middle class who have suffered far worse than those in the upper and lower economic strata. Hopefully it’s not just positive thinking and it will lead to real systemic reform and the minimization of debt in our society. Debt is the great economic killer and the inability of the government and individuals to reign it in has had and continues to have disastorous effects. So any improvement is a welcome one.
Arch Crawford is convinced that the stars and planets do influence economic and political events here on earth. He’s studied their effects for over 40 years and his record of calling the important events has been impressive, if not perfect. And he’s extremely troubled by the election charts. He believes that it may be delayed or cancelled and that martial law might be in effect. He thinks mid September to the end of the month will be very chaotic and tumultuous times. He’s recommending that people stock up on food and consider the virtues of acquiring firearms. Of course we have no way of knowing whether he will be right or wrong, but we certainly can’t just dismiss his projections out of hand. Going back to the 2000 elections, the chart foreshadowed some extremely strange and weird events and we wound up with Bush v. Gore. While no one knows exactly what the future will bring, anything is certainly possible.
