Dollar Forced to Abdicate
For the most part, the value of the dollar is given cursory attention by the financial media. Typically, its movements are assigned an importance on par with much less determinative metrics such as natural gas futures and construction permits. It’s only when major milestones are reached that anyone really takes notice of the dollar. We…

The Recovery That Isn’t
For those market boosters who are prattling on about the possibility of a “jobless recovery,” I offer an invitation to join me for a breakfast of “fat-free bacon,” “eggless omelets,” and “no-carb bread.” As unappetizing as such a meal may sound, it would nevertheless offer more substance than the oxymoronic concept of an economic resurgence…

She and her twin sister had been experimental subjects of Nazi madman Dr. Josef Mengele. Mengele had tried to change the color of their eyes with…

On April 2, 2009, control of the planet’s banks was turned over to the secret decisions of eleven men—board members of a Swiss organization with a troubling Nazi past.

The Financial Crisis – Part 1: A Look Behind The Wizard’s Curtain
