Commander David E. Stevens – The World Will Not End On 12-21-12 (Unless An Asteroid Strikes)

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Retired Commander David E. Stevens is a decorated naval pilot who was entrusted with some of our country’s most secret and sophisticated weapons technology. He’s not losing any sleep over 12-21-12 and he’s certainly not very worried about much else either. However, he believes that comets and asteroids pose far greater threats to our continued existence than almost thing else. One comet striking earth could be the equivalent of all the world’s nuclear weapons being simultaneously detonated. And there’s very little awareness or planning going on now to deal with such an eventuality. Hopefully after reading David’s excellent novel, more people will become awaken to this potential threat.

Triple Lutz Report #226 – The Lies Behind “Reality” TV

from FinancialSurvivalNet

From my live show on December 18, 2012 on 1490 WGCH, my take on the apparent implosion of Reality TV. Top rated show Storage Wars is now embroiled in serious litigation with former star villain Dave Coster. He’s claiming that the producers routinely salt abandoned storage lockers with valuable items, rig bids, and even financed a female cast member’s augmentation surgery to make her more sexually appealing to the audience. And not even the mother of all reality shows, American Idol is exempt. An insider just published a tell-all fictionalized account that leads one to the inescapable conclusion that all that glitters is not necessarily a talented star. Seems like your choice for America’s Idol may not have really been a choice at all.

Ed Steer – Debase The Currency, Debase The Society

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Ed Steer is well known in the precious metals community. He publishes the enormously popular Casey Research newsletter, Gold and Silver Daily. He’s been covering the metals for many years, trying to get the truth out about price supression, manipulation and the inevitable collapse. Right now he sees prices in a lockdown range, although there could be an end of the year price slam, bringing metal prices down to even lower levels. Either way, Ed believes the final result has never been in doubt and that 2013 will be an extremely active year for gold and silver markets.

Ranting Andy Hoffman – All The Dishonest Truth That’s Not Fit To Print

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Ranting Andy Hoffman is back. We made a horrible discovery this weekend. Storage Wars, the hit tv show turns out to be a complete fraud. Dave Hester the arch villain is suing the show for allegedly salting storage lockers, bid rigging and even financing augmentation surgery to make a contestant more sexually appealing to the audience. Over at American Idol, things aren’t much better. Paid talent scouts, manipulation of the talent and a host of other infractions lead to very dirty show. So TV is just as corrupt as the the financial system and the government. And the only incorruptible force of finance is gold and silver.

Norman Barnett – Dividends Can Save Your Retirement

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Norman Barnett is an investment expert. One result of financial repression is the inability of retirees to earn a reasonable return on their savings. This can lead greatly diminished standards of living for the elderly. They are effectively penalized for being thrifty and properly saving for their retirement. But it doesn’t have to be this way. While the Fed says that inflation is well under control, Dr. Norman L. Barnett believes that in addition to low interest rates, inflation is having a devastating impact upon your retirement. That’s why stocks with increasing dividend yields along with MLP’s can be the salvation to your retirement needs. Dr. Barnett is an expert in these stocks and he’s here to help you.

Jackie Grissom – We Are Truly Living In End Times: Here Comes The Four Horsemen

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Jackie Grissom and Steve Zarling believe that we are truly living in the End Times. Events are moving rapidly among the US, China, Russia, Israel and the Palestinians. They provide ample Biblical references to their theory that the rise of a Palestinian State is pivotal in the outcome of events. Jackie believes that we are in the most serious times of our lives and that we will all be called upon to decide. Russia will be ascendant and he believes that the US will be disarmed. After the January 1, 2013 we will see the President show his true nature and nothing will be left to doubt.

Doug Casey – Totally Incorrect: Go For The Grope

from FinancialSurvivalNet

We discuss legendary libertarian Doug Casey‘s new book, Totally Incorrect. He’s alarmed by the rapid degredation of individual rights and the expansion of government power. Homeland Security and the TSA are becoming more entrenched by day. They’re building new buildings and hiring employees by the thousands. Doug is spending most of his time in Argentina where he believes it’s easier to be left alone by the government. We’re coming out of the eye of the economic hurricane and you need to be prepared to weather the storm.

Tyler Gallagher – Putting His Money Where His Mouth Is: All-In On Silver

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Tyler Gallagher is president of Regal Assets LLC, and a sponsor of the Financial Survival Network. He’s so certain about where precious metals are heading that he just put 70 percent of his wealth into silver. He, as your host, believe that it’s a screaming bargain that you need take a serious look at. We’re seeing a rapid increase in the financial deterioration of the United States and the Western World. No one knows when the eventual crash will take place, which will probably result in the the dollar’s demise, but everyone is certain that it’s coming.

Paul LeJoy – It’s Impossible To Be Poor In America

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Paul LeJoy started a real estate company in 2007. Little did he know that the economy was about to hit the fan. Now it’s 5 years later and business is booming. He’s buying up foreclosures and short sales and selling them off at substantial profits and he’s even written a book about it. At FSN we believe that the real estate depression still has quite a while to go before it runs its course. However, Paul is putting his money where his mouth is and he sees smooth sailing ahead. Perhaps he’s correct.

Jonathan Burton – Always Get Back Up On The Investment Horse

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Jonathan Burton has been writing personal finance articles for over a decade. With the voice of experience he put together a list of rules that help investors be happy and sleep at night. There’s no substitute for peace of mind when it comes to having your porfolio safe and sound. You need to save regulary and review your investments on a regular basis. And always keep your emotions in check. Boring investments are generally the most reliable and yield the greatest long term profits. Don’t let your friend’s opinions influence your investment decisions.

Triple Lutz Report #225 – Ending The War On Drugs, and The $10,000 College Degree

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Judson Phillips, former prosecutor and Tea Party Leader wrote a useful column on The Drug War and its futility. He’s been at the forefront for 25 years and understands that there is no way to stop people from doing drugs. He believes that all drug users should face mandatory registration and then be allowed to consume as much as they desire. While we agree with that people should not be stopped and that their bodies belong to them, we don’t believe that they should be required to inform the state of these personal activities or anyone else.

The $10,000 college degree program is coming. The governors of Florida and Texas have encouraged their state universities to make college affordable to all takers. These programs will combine live instruction with internet classes in a variety of disciplines. Hopefully, it will train a new generation of students in areas for which ample employment opportunities exist.

Michael Krieger – Brave New Feudal Manor Houses

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg joined us for a recap of today’s emerging trends. The holidays are always a time when things slow down and people like to forget about what’s really happening around them. It’s exactly at this time that they should be examining things more closely. We see economic clouds coming in from every direction. Debt and spending are still increasing geometrically and the USA continues to further drift from its founding principals. Are we devolving towards another feudal era? That remains to be seen.

Danielle Park – How Millionaires Go Broke

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Danielle Park, Juggling Dynamite, joined us for a discussion of how the rich go broke. It’s often the new rich, celebrities, lottery winners and rapidly successful business people. Unfortunately, there’s no manual that explains how to hold on to your newly found wealth. But word of that wealth spreads remarkably fast. Relatives, charities and hangers-on quickly descend upon these fortunate souls and try to suck them dry. Learning how to say “no” is probably the most important skill they can acquire. And saying no to governments and other parasites that want to steal your wealth is always a good thing too.

Allen Hamm – Living Below Your Means Is The Key To A Wealthy Retirement

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Allen Hamm, Superior LTC., believes that people don’t start saving early enough and that they lack the discipline to insure a quality retirement. While it often seems like the current financial system could collapse at any moment, it might wind up lasting much longer than we ever thought possible. So the consequences of failing to secure your retirement now could be devastating. While we’d like to opt-out of the financial system right now, as long as it continues, we’re all a part of it.

Dave Franzetta – Selling The Family Business Can Be Hell

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Dave Franzetta, Designed Outcomes, is a little bit of a financial analyst, management expert and pyschologist, which makes him ideally suited to help small businesses develop succession plans and exit strategies. As you might guess, when dealing with families and their businesses, it some times gets insane. But Dave is unflappable and does his best to get the parties to keep their eye on the ball and to focus on the bigger picture. Right now there’s some 30 million small businesses owned by babyboomers who will retire within the next 17 years. Sounds like Dave will stay quite busy.

Jeffrey Christian – The Most Misunderstood Man In Precious Metals?

from FinancialSurvivalNet

When it comes to the precious metals marketplace, no one is more controversial than Jeffrey Christian of CPM Group. He is extremely bright and has an incredible grasp of the metals markets and economic history. When he’s not duking it out with GATA or making predictions about the decline of gold and silver prices, he’s running CPM Group, a large commodities operation in New York. Some people believe that he’s the front man for the elites and others believe that he’s part of the gold cartel. But as always the truth is much more complex. He makes a convincing case for why markets are behaving in very dysfunctional way, however, we take issue with his explanation of why precious metals get slammed every month around the time the Non-Farm Employment report is released. You be the judge.

Mike Shedlock – California Taking A Swan Dive Off The Fiscal Cliff Into An Empty Bath Tub

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Mike “Mish” Shedlock is a long term critic of wasteful government spending, greedy public sector unions and the inability or unwillingness of any politician to bring it all under control. He believes that California, or Taxifornia as he calls it, is about to implode. The effect of all those newly passed taxes will wind up with less taxes collected and more money spent. There’s a huge sucking sound as small businessmen, millionaires and billionaires flee the state. California has truly killed the goose that once laid the golden eggs. The Country needs more right to work states.

Andy Hoffman – Inflate and Die Tomorrow, or Deflate And Die Today

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Ranting Andy Hoffman joined us today for a dismal look at the state of the world’s economy. Not much good news to be had in Europe, certainly very little in the US and it’s a bit discouraging that Communist China has become the hope of the free world. There’s a massive race to the bottom in Europe and there’s nothing that can be done about it. The US is in complete denial over its own dire financial situation. 46% of every federal dollar spent is borrowed. The US’s deficit is coming in around $5 billion per day in Fiscal Year 2013. When will financial sanity happen? The only sanity left in the world is buying gold and silver.

John Jamieson – From College Dropout To Successful Businessman

from FinancialSurvivalNet

John Jamieson had trouble getting through high school and dropped out of college. No one who knew him then would have ever expected him to become the success that he eventually did. Then the financial collapse hit in 2008 and his finances were greatly impacted. But rather than waiting for the economy to turn around, he developed his own system for creating wealth. Centered around intelligent use of insurance and his belief that real estate was selling at near depressionary lows, John has come back big time. And now he’s sharing his secrets with you.

Daniel Arthur Nelson – College Dropout Makes Compelling Case For Money

[Ed. Note: Unfortunately, technical difficulties during recording made the audio in this interview somewhat quiet, and difficult to distinguish at times. We extend our apologies to both Daniel, and our listeners.]

from FinancialSurvivalNet

If you had a nickel for every time someone said “money is the root of all evil,” you’d be a pretty rich person, wouldn’t you? Daniel Arthur Nelson says accumulating all of that wealth might actually be a good thing. Daniel is a college dropout, but eventually went back and finished. He’s had a diverse career, and believes that money can be a source for positive change and results, both personally and socially. It all depends upon your moral core and your motivation, something that no government has any control over at all.

Karen Schoen – Agenda21 Is The Enemy

from FinancialSurvivalNet

According to Karen Schoen there’s a UN inspired movement that aims to take away your property and to destroy capitalism. This group believes that man is destroying the earth and that drastic actions must be taken. They’ve enlisted many officials from both parties. Their agenda is most obvious when zoning and land use issues arise. Man made climate change is another area where they’re always trying to sway the debate. Fortunately people like Karen are actively engaged and fighting back with a vengeance. This is a war against truth and everyone needs to be involved in it.

Stephanie Skaggs – Starting A Business Can Cut Your Taxes

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Stephanie Skaggs took time for another interview with FSN. Don’t worry about tax increases, keep working your ass off and hope for the best. There’s really not much more that you can. If you’re going to start a business or expand one, then this could actually be a great time. So many people have been scared out of the market that you’ll have less competition and a greater ability to expand market share. It sounds almost counter-intuitive, but more people became millionaires during the last Great Depression than at any other time in history. And don’t forget, there are certain tax advantages to having your own business that you can’t get anywhere else.

His boss, the erstwhile Porter Stansberry believes it will lead to an Obama third term.

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Evan J. Segal has worked in business, government and philanthropy. He likes helping people raise the bar as he did when he was a manager. One of his major accomplishments was actually exporting finished American made goods to China. The Chinese told him that US companies should be flattered that the Chinese chose to copy their designs and appropriate their IP, as this was a sign that the company was on the right track. With these kind of compliments, how long can any business survive? But Evan figured out the special sauce and now he teaches others the correct way of competing internationally.

Triple Lutz Report #223 – Happy Repeal Of Prohibition Day

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Today is a very special day at the Financial Survival Network. 79 years ago today, the 21st Amendment was passed, which repealed the 18th Amendment that commenced the war on alcohol. Of course warriors are always looking for other wars to fight and no sooner was booze legal than they went after marijuana, cocaine, opium and heroin. The rest is history. The wreckage, both economic and human that has been left in the war’s wake is beyond terrible. Thousands of deaths, new home grown and foreign “Al Capone’s” have been spawned and hundreds of thousands of souls are wasting away in prison. You and I deserve better. We must demand that this insanity be stopped and these draconian policies be done away with once and for all.

Michael Gray – The Taxman Is Coming To Take You Away

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Michael Gray of Tax Trimmers joins us today. Death, taxes and inflation, are three constants in life. As long as we breath and have a government, they will remain so. 2012-2013 will be particularly hazardous to your wealth. Taxes are going higher and there’s nothing you can do about it. Therefore, if you haven’t started already, it’s a good idea to get your planning done now. There’s still a number of ways to minimize your tax liability for this year and in succeeding years as well. And while you’re at it, you need to figure out what to do with your IRA too. Tax law changes mean that your current investment strategy might not be effective in the future.
