Robot Traders of the NYSE. Behavioural Economics. History of the Financial Warfare Model. THE MONEY MASTERS is a 3 1/2 hour non-fiction, historical documentary that traces the origins of the political power structure. The modern political power structure has its roots in the hidden manipulation and accumulation of gold and other forms of money. The development of fractional reserve banking practices in the 17th century brought to a cunning sophistication the secret techniques initially used by goldsmiths fraudulently to accumulate wealth. With the formation of the privately-owned Bank of England in 1694, the yoke of economic slavery to a privately-owned “central” bank was first forced upon the backs of an entire nation, not removed but only made heavier with the passing of the three centuries to our day. Nation after nation has fallen prey to this cabal of international central bankers. I highly recommend reading through the quotes at the bottom of this post as well and looking over the Money Masters Website.

Wall Street's Naked Swindle : Rolling Stone. Foundations of Crisis. This week I have a special Outside the Box for you. My long-time friend Doug Casey wrote a very prescient piece back in 1997.

Doug summarized the book and makes some observations based on that understanding, many of which turned out to be true and some of which may well be in out future. Doug is chairman of Casey Research, author of numerous best-sellers over the last 25 years, raconteur and a certified expert in resources stocks. Here’s wishing you a very happy and prosperous New Year. Foundations of Crisis By Doug Casey, Chairman, Casey Research, LLC. Everybody wants predictions. I’m intensely optimistic about the long-term future. Hari Seldon: Where Are You When We Need You?
