"We saw it coming.... Deep down, we suspected that, after capitulating to mandatory lockdowns, masks, and  social distancing, we would be told to 'man up' and stand in line for MANDATORY vaccines" cautions Carole Lieberman, M.D., M.P.H. Dr. Lieberman is not only a Board Certified Psychiatrist, with a Masters in  Public Health, she's a recipient of an NIMH Fellowship in Epidemiology for her UCLA research on how to use the media to prevent and treat physical and mental disorders. 
 
Carole Lieberman, M.D., M.P.H. ('America's Psychiatrist') , a board-certified Beverly Hills psychiatrist and bestselling author is available for interviews.
 
Dr. Lieberman is NOT telling people NOT to get the vaccine. Indeed, she says, "If you want a vaccine, by all means, go for it. But, if you let the government 'force you' to put something into your body, they will have  crossed the final frontier and your freedom is over!" Dr. Lieberman clarifies, "Does 'mandatory' mean they will come to your house, hold you down and stick a needle in you - like it or not? No (at least not at the moment).  
 
But, there are other ways of 'forcing' you to do this, and they have already begun. Even if no actual 'law' is  passed that makes it a crime to refuse the vaccine, there are already plans to make life impossible for people who won't simply comply." Here are seven examples: 
 
1. Vaccination certificates and Immunity passports have quietly become part of the language used when talking about coronavirus - and each has scientific and ethical downsides, as well as black market potential. 
 
2. Ticketmaster is making plans to verify your vaccination status via smartphone or whether you've tested  negative within a 24-72 hour window before a performance. Every event you want to attend - from the Lakers to Lady Gaga could be off-limits without proof of compliance.
 
3. Although it may be unconstitutional for the Federal government to make a law requiring you to get a vaccine,  they could do it in more surreptitious ways - such as requiring proof of vaccine to get a passport. 
 
4. A more serious threat is state and city governments, that can make such laws and create penalties like they have done for people who don't wear masks or who dare to take a walk in the park. These could be fines, taxes or worse. 
 
5. There is already precedent for Covid19 vaccine mandates to cite - such as when NYC required people in parts of Brooklyn to prove they got the measles vaccine or pay $1,000. Covid hotspots around the country could require the same. Some hospitals require staff to get flu vaccines. Schools require vaccines for certain diseases. But, none of these mandates were accompanied by other draconian measures like we have seen with Covid19. 
 
6. Companies could fire employees who refuse to get vaccinated, except in rare circumstances where  accommodation could be requested. 
 
7. Airlines, restaurants, stores and stadiums could also make the vaccine a condition of entry, just like they have done with signs that say, 'No shirt, no shoes, no service'."
 
Vaccines have been touted as the cure for the pandemic, so its no wonder many people are excited that they're almost here. But, before we roll up our sleeves - or pull down our pants - to get the needle, we need to not only thoroughly investigate the safety of each vaccine, but we also need to 'follow the money' to see who is getting  rich by promoting mass vaccination. Bottom line: Just like with lockdowns, masks, and social distancing, it must be each individual's FREE CHOICE whether we want to take the vaccine or not."

Inflation seems to be spreading. Houses are setting records (If CPI Measured Actual House Prices, Inflation Would Be 3% Right Now)

And copper is crushing it: 

How many things have to be soaring before we're in an inflationary environment? 

Still no action on stimulus and all kinds of benefits running out before year-end. 

Economy is starting to slow as people have to dig into savings to buy basics.

Gold still falling. Where's support? Does seasonality matter this year?

Biden's administration is looking like classic business as usual. All Clinton/Obama retreads. 

In other words, the Dems learned exactly nothing from half the country voting for a populist. The mid-terms might be brutal. 

Almost all Republicans believe the Dems stole the election. 

A bar owner in NYC won't close and they took away his liquor license so he declared an "autonomous zone" like in Seattle and stayed open. 

Osino Resources (sponsor) keeps hitting milestone after milestone, with no end in site. This is exactly what successful investors desire in an emerging junior miner along with being: well financed, well-run and an aggressive driller.  To date, their Twin Hills Central project has yielded impressive results and now there’s a significant new discovery at the Clouds Target, which further enhances and validates  Osino’s amazing potential.

If as expected, there’s significant mineralization between Clouds and Twin Hills, then the company will become a major success story. Osino’s CEO Heye Daun  plans to grow the resource and he expects investors to be pleasantly surprised when it’s released in 2021. Osino is Daun’s third venture, and this one really seems to be the charm. Which is why, as shareholders we are extremely optimistic.

According to Dan Ferris, editor of Extreme Value, intrinsic value has never changed throughout history. How you go about analyzing it is another story and it has changed much over time. Whereas, we used to use book value, asset value and other objective measures, now we look more to future events. The idea of reducing the value to book value or p/e no longer makes sense to Dan. The numbers are all history and they’re the result of actions taken by management in the past. This type of analysis can easily miss the boat. You look at what management did and ask if they can keep doing it or do it even better? Are there hidden assets that could be put to better use? Hidden assets tend to find you. Dan looks for optionality. The ability to grow over time even if it’s a wasting asset. Dan gives an example of finding companies that are rolling up their industry and consolidating it. Insurance and waste management are examples. You never know when a deal will come along that will transform the company. Dan is is industry agnostic and will examine any and all industries. Right now he’s avoiding commercial real estate and retail for obvious reasons. He’s North America focused but could go outside the US should the opportunity arise, but Dan is reluctant. And why should he, he's found amazing success right here at home. 

First, to all FSN Community Members, Happy Thanksgiving! While we are certainly living through unsettled times, there are many reasons to be thankful and banish despair from our lives. Years later when I look back at this time, it will have proven to be an amazing time of growth on many fronts. Spiritually, emotionally and materially.

Human growth and potential are harder to realize during the easy times. As I have repeatedly told my children over the course of their lives, you learn way more from failure than from success. I also want to share with you a recent discovery. I just came across the work of YouTube sensation Wim Hof. I have found his breathing exercises, when combined with my meditation practice, to be of immense benefit. It has revealed to me that in order to find true happiness, we must always focus within and act to lessen the impact of external affairs upon our lives. In other words, who is President should have no effect upon your internal state of joy. 

That’s a little more philosophical than I usually indulge in, but during these unprecedented times, there’s every reason to hope for and expect better times ahead. But as always, it must begin with a transition from within. 

The pull back in gold prices has been widely expected and anticipated. Gold bull markets don’t go up in a straight-line. Of course it’s painful to see your portfolio value go down quickly. But Jamie says that even at $1800 gold everything in mining stock portfolio is still worth holding on to. When it comes to Bitcoin vs. Gold, Jamie observes that there’s no leverage in BTC. Gold miners give an opportunity for major leveraged returns. While BTC has had a major move, it hasn’t gone up 100 or even 10 times. What we do know is that we don’t know what will happen with Bitcoin during these uncertain times. However, based upon history, we can  get a very good idea what will happen to precious metals. And that’s why the case for mining stocks is so compelling. 

Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles-Franklin joined us. We've seen a rather rapid decrease in precious metals prices during the past week. But Andy isn't concerned in the least. It's just an effort by the bullion banks to squeeze out weak holders. But it's destined to fail, because the people who actually take delivery from the Comex will not be cowed. They are family offices, hedge funds and sovereign wealth funds who understand that the time to buy gold is now. Andy explains that we are approaching contract expiration and that the goal is to stop this group from standing for delivery. It's all part of an elaborate effort to stop the outflow of metals from the Comex. And it's doomed to failure. Which is why the price for gold is going up no matter what. 

Lockdowns spreading, people are back to hoarding toilet paper and bullets.

Landmark Danish study finds no significant effect for facemask wearers

Only minimal stimulus seems likely during the transition. (Funny how anything less than a trillion dollars seems minimal these days.)

Is another broad-based crash like March coming?

How do you prepare for something like that?

-- Equity put options – example of an S&P 500 put that more than doubled in March while the market when down 20%. 

-- Stop loss orders – though they don’t always work in flash crashes.

-- Go to cash now and book a month at the beach. 

-- Low-ball good until cancelled buy orders. (Examples of gold mining stocks that tripled from their March lows.)

Expect gold miners to report great earnings and massive cash flow in January and Feb, which will support their stock prices.

GR Silver Mining (sponsor) currently has 20 Geologists working round the clock to expand their already impressive resource. Four drills are turning and more are on the way. The Company is proof that the harder you work, the luckier you get. While building a connector road to an underground access tunnel, the team came across some interesting geological samples. Upon closer look, they found extensive mineralization that should substantially add to their NI 43-101 resource. Marcio and the team are more excited than ever, and he believes they’re on the cusp to achieving their 100+ million ounce goal. GR is extremely well-financed, with C$8 million in the bank, so there’s need to go back to the market for additional capital to continue their aggressive drill program. Which is why we’re extremely optimistic and currently acquiring shares.

Market Forecast for the remainder of 2020 and 2021. Volatility is the theme. There’s so much uncertaintly that we could go anywhere. Changing political directions mean it’s up in the air. There’s lots of pains in Blue States, small business, restaurants, etc. People are stocking up on swimming pools and RV’s. Services are getting slammed. Employees will have to retrain and reinvent.

Instability economic, political and geopolitical will be a major theme for the coming year. Without a political change we’d have less uncertainty. Change can freeze spending and investments. A recession could be triggered.

Inflation outlook with trillions being printed out of thin air. Low interst rates and flooding money, real estate home prices aren’t falling. The supply of resale homes is dropping and so is demand. There are indicators that inflation could be a growing factor. Not sky-rocketing yet.

Above everything else, just keep saving and saving. You might need the funds to live on or you’ll have a great opportunity when prices come down

Stock markets have been trading on hope and optimism. 40 years ago was a similar tumultuous period. The Iranian Revolution and the Russian invasion of Aghanhistan. It’s the 40 year cycle taking place. The 40 year cycle has repeated itself very closely. We had the March meltdown, the spike recovery, and then new lows. Very similar to 1980. Anohther intermediate peak in coming this month and continuing to swing, which will lead to another leg up peaking in May 2021. But there are down swings coming.

Gold/silver coming peak again in May 2021. We could see a bottom by the end of 2020. Gold will move up with the stock market and then an inflation driven peak. Gold below $1800 before the end of the year and silver could hit $19. The Dollar has been bottoming and could see an increase at the same time. And perhaps a settling down geo-politically could be around the corner.

US Dollar, a rebound through mid-December. March 2021 could see the Dollar bottom, perhaps near the 2018 low of 88 on the DXY. The dollar was fortelling a democrat in the Whitehouse. Eric mentioned that several months ago when we last spoke and appears to be correct.

Interest rates have apparently hit their lows in mid 2020. Eric had been calling this a while. And it appears we’re there now. The high should hold for a couple of years. Rates will be edging higher. Government spending is going to cause rates to rise or the Dollar standing could be injured.

John Paul Mendocha --- Turnaround Specialist, Serial Entrepreneur and Author of “Remote Work for a Better World”& “Most Businesses Fail in the First 5 Minutes: It Just Takes Them 3 to 5 Years to Realize It” 

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced businesses to rethink their marketing plans, both now and into the future. The current pandemic has been a threat to the entire global economy and without a doubt; businesses took the biggest hit of all. 

While several brands already declared bankruptcy in the wake of eroding resources and dwindling assets, there are still many who would follow the same suit, provided the financial activities do not start the earliest. The post-lockdown era will see brands competing frantically for attention and eventually, survival and growth will depend on the strategies, proactive approaches, and certainly capital infusion. Where do they start? Do they all need a Turnaround?

• What are the best ways to approach a turnaround post COVID-19?
• Is reevaluating your brand the best strategy to take?
• Is using Fear as a motivator a proper way to build a presence?
• Final say: Shutdown or Turnaround? ---Which way makes more sense? 

John Paul Mendocha uses his expertise from his new book, “Remote Work for a Better World,” to share his tips on the best approach in the post COVID-19 era. 

Sheriff Joe joined the army at age 18. He went to Korea, and upon returning he went on to become a cop in DC. Moving on to Las Vegas, he arrested Elvis in Las Vegas for doing 100 mph on a motorcycle. Then he moved on to work for the DEA and traveled the fighting the flow of drugs. He moved up the ladder going on to work with G. Gordon Liddy, where they shut down the Mexican Border to force cooperation in the war on drugs. He was quite unpopular with the Mexican government. His wife started blueberry pie diplomacy, feeding the Mexican AG a steady stream of her baked goods. He eventually wound up in Arizona and retired after 31 years. Quickly tiring of his new leisure life style, at 60 years old he ran and won for Maricopa County Sheriff . Was elected 6 times. Chain gangs, tent cities and pink underwear became his hallmark. He blew the whistle on illegal immigration and took it on directly,  arresting many thousands of illegal immigrants, making him a target of the administration. His phones were tapped and he became a target.  Eventually, he was convicted of contempt of court, but was pardoned by President Trump. Now, he's again retired, but he's not slowing down, even at 88 years of age. 

Dr. Lameiro, PhD in math, and I review the issues raised by the election. We go over probablities, statistical anomalies and other issues that certainly raised eyebrows of impartial observers like Gerard and myself. Could it go to the House for the final determination. Attorney Alan Dershowitz believes that it’s Trump’s strategy to go to the House. Trump is prepared to use to troops if and when it’s necessary. Gerard believes that the riots were caused by the Dems panic at losing the minority voters. For more go to GreatNewsForAmerica.com.

At a recent major Chinese Communist Party meeting the   plan for world domination was spelled out in detail. China perceives an opportunity to become the world’s superpower and rule accordingly. Another reason why this election was so important. It’s either rule or be ruled. Will this result in Russia being driven more towards the West and away from China? China’s dam infrastructure in greatly imperiled. Most of China’s efforts are potentially damaging to West. You need to educate yourself and understand the magnitude of the threat. Chinese nationals are leaving the West and returning to China en masse. What is the significance of of that move? What's ahead for the world?

We take a look at the latest and emerging financial trends with noted analyst and newsletter writer Jim Welsh. There's some surprising forecasts here that you're probably not expecting. 

"Around the world, working women are facing brutally hard choices about whether to stay home with their children, if they haven’t already been laid off," says Laetitia Vancon New York Times.

As if working mothers did not have enough to worry about, experts are now sounding the alarm that progress toward gender equality may be the latest in a long list of casualties of the coronavirus pandemic.

Substantial research has shown that most professional gender gaps are in fact motherhood gaps: women without children are much closer to parity with men when it comes to salaries and promotions, but mothers pay a large career penalty.

Women tend to take on more of the burdens of caring for children and the family. To go to work, they need someone to help with that care. But fathers have been slow to change their behavior. And without subsidies, private child care can be prohibitively expensive.

Workplaces already tend to penalize women who choose to work fewer hours or need more flexibility, and that, too, is proving to be exacerbated in the pandemic.

“The bottom line is that based on decades of research we know that there was one institution that was effective at limiting gender inequality and encouraging women’s participation in the workplace, and it was early childhood education,” said Claudia Olivetti, an economist at Dartmouth College.

Now, the pandemic — and its hobbling of schools and child-care providers — is taking that away, too, piling pressure on working mothers, like me.

Around the world, working women are facing brutally hard choices about whether to stay home if they haven’t already been laid off. And the effect may be particularly severe in countries like the United States, where the pandemic is compounding inequalities that women already faced as a result of the lack of guaranteed paid maternity leave and affordable child care.

Live in the present, don’t dwell in the past or worry about the future. Our trust in the electoral system is being tested. When you’re anxious, your fears become reality. Stop drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes and eliminate stimulants like crystal meth or aderol. We’re all just acting out on our programming. When fight or flight is triggered you lose perspective. 

When discussing today’s precious metals market dive, noted investor Rick Rule says, “Volatility is part of dealing with investing. The volatility we’re seeing today is setting up the upcoming precious metals advance. Is it the vaccine or is there something else inovlved? It’s just part of the landscape. If you’re not psychologically prepared for these movements you need to get out of the market.” Rick’s got a hot list of 45 precious metals equities that he’s now considering for purchasie. He’s looking to sell a few dogs and buy the quality issues. Middle market companies generating substantial cash flow will lead thenext wave up. There’s a dearth of quality exploration issues. During the past decade, exploration has been nearly non-existent. Tier 1 deposits (5mm ounces of gold and 400k per year potential production) and Tier 2 (1-1.5 mm ounce resource 150k per year production) are going to sail higher. Institutional investors need to get into this market and understand the huge potential opportunity. Intelligently crafted mergers are starting to take place. For valuation purposed, P/E is pretty much irrelevant. P/NAV is where it’s at. Rick’s take on royalty companies, the larger ones are still going to do well because base metal producers will be selling their pm streams off. There will be huge transactions of this ilk. Hedge funds may very well become a driving factor in taking miners private. They’re sitting on funds that they either have to use or will have to return to investors. Pension funds are starting to call Rick. Suddenly there’s interest among the largest investors in the world considering putting money into the sector. And long suffering silver investors, take heart. Silver is next. Silver is substantially more volatile than gold. A cyclical decline in a secular bull market always hits silver harder than gold. First comes gold then comes silver, always in that order. Make sure you contact Ric by going to www.SprottUSA.com/rankings for a free resource stock portfolio evaluation.

Stocks were doing really well before today on the expectation that stimulus would be on the way, in very generous amounts. Treasuries were on the rise. Whatever happens next is great for gold, though the timing is tricky. If stocks tank when traders figure out that stimulus will be delayed, that might pull gold down. But the eventual resulting stimulus will send it through the roof.  NJ credit downgraded on big pension bond sale, Illinois tax measure failed, and that's pretty much it. Junk rating is coming. A sign of things to come all over.

Larry Klayman, has just written It Takes a Revolution: Forget the Scandal Industry! Larry founded and was chairman of the successful non-profit foundation Judicial Watch, and current chairman of Freedom Watch. 
 
In the book, Larry details how our executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government have become thoroughly corrupt and failed the citizenry.  

Imploring Americans to turn away from the “scandal industry” of the cable news networks, which enrich themselves by magnifying crises—if not creating mass panic to boost ratings and advertising dollars—and offering false hope to lure viewers that there will be justice to remedy government corruption, the author Larry Klayman, both the founder of Judicial Watch and now Freedom Watch, offers concrete solutions for creating a federal judiciary and instituting citizens’ grand juries. Quoting Founding Fathers like John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, Klayman explains above all that without ethics, morality, and religion, it will not matter how many times we change our forms of government or rules—there will be no lasting liberty.

This work is a call to arms during these times of crises, when government corruption has hit a “cancerous state.” The overriding message of It Takes a Revolution: Forget the Scandal Industry! is that Americans should turn off cable news, stop being entertained by it, get up off of the couch, and join the second American Revolution—albeit a peaceful and legal one—to restore the greatness of our nation in these trying and perilous times. Our continued existence hangs in the balance!
