Looks like it's 2008 all over again. The only question is what institution or country is going to blow up? There's so many possibilities that it's impossible to predict. But the situation is quite grave. Greece is getting worse by the moment. Japan is rapidly sinking. Overnight rates in China purportedly hit 35 percent. And of course in the US the 10 year hit 2.43%. It's getting more interesting by the moment, so buckle your seat belt.

After a brief hiatus, we caught up today with Diana Zoppa. We proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that drivers in the developing world have more fatalities per mile driven than those in the developed world. It's not an ethnic issue. It's one of experience, developed world drivers have been at it longer, that's all. But while we're on the topic of driving, take a defensive driving course and save some money on your insurance costs today.

John Rubino bought the DollarCollapse url back in 2004. He's been waiting for it to happen ever since. The odds are he won't have to wait much longer. The pace of the collapse is clearly accelerating. Gold and silver prices collapsed today along with stocks and bonds. Where is it going to end? Will every fiat currency across the globe collapse? John's guess is yes.

Gold's down $60 and silver is under $20! What's going on in the world? Charles Nenner had this nailed several months ago. In fact, he was advising people to get out of gold when it hit $1900 an ounce. Not many of us were smart enough to listen. However, the bull market remains in force and according to Charles will resume its upward trajectory in July.

Jason Burack joined us again for a discussion of successful investment strategies. He's still bullish on MLP's (master limited partnerships), commodities and energy.  He believes that the precious metals sector will sort itself out in the next 12 months, because the cost of production is  higher than current metal prices. In addition, he's a big proponent of using options to hedge risk because it can be done so inexpensively. The main thing is to keep an open mind to other investment sector opportunities. You never know where your next great profit will come from.

"The United States debt, foreign and domestic, was the price of liberty. The faith of America has been repeatedly pledged for it... Among ourselves, the most enlightened friends of good government are those whose expectations of prompt payment are the highest. To justify and preserve their confidence; to promote the increasing respectability of the American name; to answer the calls of justice; to restore landed property to its due value; to furnish new resources, both to agriculture and commerce; to cement more closely the Union of the States; to add to their security against foreign attack; to establish public order on the basis of an upright and liberal policy; these are the great and invaluable ends to be secured by a proper and adequate provision, at the present period, for the support of public credit."

Alexander Hamilton, 1790, First Report on the Public Credit

Ken Liguanas graduated with over $30,000 in debt from the University of Buffalo and zero job prospects. So he fled to the Alaskan frontier and worked for two and a half years till he paid it off. Determined not to make the same mistake twice, he entered Duke's grad school and lived out of his van to avoid taking on debt. This became the basis of a book Walden On Wheels: On the Open Road from Debt to Freedom. Sound advice from someone who knows. 

Next, we talked about Michael Nanny Bloomberg's sound advice to skip college and become a plumber. Anytime a self-obsessed multi-billionaire gives career advice, you should listen. There's a certain logic to his advice that many should find compelling.

Michael Croix mastered the art of debt reduction before it became fashionable during the last financial crisis. As the saying goes, "If you owe the bank $10,000, you have a problem. If you owe them $1,000,000, they have a problem." The key is understanding what the creditor is looking to accomplish. Their goal in life is not to ruin your credit score. Rather. they are looking for cash flow. They want to recover the maximum amount possible. Your goal is to pay the least amount you can or perhaps the most you can afford. Michael's strategies will help you do both.

Don Harrold's been buying silver for many years. He sold off a portion of his holdings when silver hit its 2011 high. Now he's buying it back at greatly discounted prices. He doesn't believe any of the hype about manipulation and price supression. He does however believe that this is a good time to be buying the metal. Long term currency debasement and erosion of the dollar are baked into the cake. Therefore, once rates start heading higher, you will see the velocity of money speed-up and inflation will increase dramatically. We do agree with his long term silver outlook.

Aaron Clarey is a master of minimalist living. He walks the walk. He believes that you usually can't do much about your total income, but you can certainly control how much of your disposable income you choose to part with. Aaron is traveling around the country riding his motorcycle having a great time.  There are many ways to live happily in today's world, but unfortunately most people are locked into the paradigm of what use to work, such as getting a college degree, buying a home and living the American Dream. Unfortunately, things have changed and that's why Aaron's philosophy is so relevant today.

New York City Mayor Michael Nanny Bloomberg's attorneys were arguing to overturn the Big Gulp court decision that stopped him from regulating sugary soft drink sizes. When one of the most liberal courts in the country has the knives out for the uber-Nanny, you know that something is up. He does have one more futile bite of the apple. He must convince the state's highest court to reverse the lower court decisons, good luck on that one. Like we said before, Justice Milton Tingling's decision which stopped the ban dead in its tracks was pretty much bullet-proof. And it appears the Appellate Division will agree.

Next we talked about the rising South. Most of the nation's growing cities and states are located down south. There's no accident here. While the Northeastern elites deride the culture and intellect of the country's southern inhabitants, in the area of economic performance and growth there's no contest; the South has been winning hands down for over a generation.

Our sponsor Jason Hartman joined us today to discuss a number of real estate investor success stories. Understand that while he may be "talking his book," he's been at this game for a long time and has helped a number of people capture oversized returns. Of course there are risks and pitfalls, as there is in any type of investing. However, Jason has the proof, which is thousands of satisfied clients. While there are no guarantees in life or investing, there are ways to reduce risk to tolerable levels. And if the economic collapse continues at its near glacial pace of late, then real estate investing could be a good bet.

Chris Duane is gearing up for the Liberty Mastermind Symposium. We discussed why we created the event and what you need to know to get through the awful times ahead. There's so much more to living the life you were meant to than worrying about the power elite and who controls what. They only exist because we've given them our power. Once you start to take it back, they will quickly crumble into irrelevancy. Perhaps taking control of your mind and your thoughts is the most powerful act you are capable of. It's time to start.

Detroit's emergency manager announced last Friday that the city would stop paying approximately $2.5 billion in debts. He got several hundred creditors together and explained the dire situation to them. It looks like pensioners and bondholders are going to take it on the chin. The city is offering them around 10 cents on the dollar, which could be a very good deal, especially if Detroit must file for bankruptcy protection. Then all bets are off! However, Mr. Orr needs to do more than simply rearrange the deck chairs on this fiscal Titanic. He should take this opportunity to privatize virtually all of Detroit's services, eliminate the public school system and develop new economic opportunities to help restore this once great city. Whether it's urban marijuana farming, expanding the airport or cutting taxes to an essential minimum, now is the time for bold initiatives. Otherwise, Detroit will further devolve into a dystopian image of America's post-industrial future.

The miners are tanking, big time! Andy doesn't believe that a higher gold and silver price will help them turn around anytime soon. The news is uniformly bad for the sector. A great contraction is under way. Which is ironic, considering that gold and silver appear at their near and long term bottoms, but there's a lot more to running a successful mine than high grade ore deposits. The political risks have never been greater. At the same time it appears that the JP Morgue has virtually eliminated its short silver position and is now net long. If this is true, then this could mark a major turning point for silver. You can expect new highs and major shortages. But the operative word is IF.

We connected with Turd Ferguson today. Turd can see the day when the Chinese get fed up with the Fed and allow the Yuan to be fully convertible and perhaps backed by gold. This is going to be a cataclysmic event for those aren't ready for it. Unfortunately, that will be most of the Western World. It's extremely hard for the average person to accept much less make plans for this inevitable event. We all grew up in a world where the Dollar ruled and that's going to change soon. So please get ready now, it's for your own benefit.

Wayne Allyn Root returned for an in-depth discussion of the NSA Surveillance State and the way that your freedoms are being diminshed at a rapidly escalating rate. The Ponzi Scheme is being run and maintained by the Federal Reserve. It cannot be stopped without a complete economic collapse. Wayne and I discussed using gold and silver to protect your future and your family. If it's really bad, gold and silver prices may decline as well, however their purchasing power will go up as it always has throughout history.

When desperate times hit, desperate things happen. You need to prepare for the worst. Paper isn't safe. Hard assets are more difficult to confiscate or otherwise grab. Is there really a difference between the US's financial system and Cyprus's? Hardly. The US has already taxed the wealthy and now it's running out of options. As things proceed toward their inevitable conclusion, gold and silver will no doubt assume their traditional roles underpinning the monetary system. Tyler believes that there needs to be a collapse before things can get better.

We caught up with David Morgan today, not always the easiest thing to do. He's always busy, after all he's one of the most experienced voices in the precious metals arena. He's pretty confident that the metals markets are finding their bottom, if they haven't done so already. He believes that this is a great time to be buying, but not all at once. Trying to get in at the bottom and out at the top is a fool's errand. David's our featured speaker at the Liberty MasterMind Symposium and we're looking forward to seeing him and you in Dallas on June 28-29. www.LibertyMasterMind.us

George is just finishing up his personal self defense manual. He's been laid up for a while but has put the time to good use, posting many entries on his blog and finishing up the manual. He talks about awareness a lot. Wherever you go, you need to be aware of your surroundings and the people around you. As George says, we live in a heads down society. More and more people walk around focused on their smart phone, rather than what's going on around. This is a problem on several levels. You should be in a safe place not moving around with your back to the wall if possible. Following George's simple rules will help keep you and your family safe.

Last year, $34 billion worth of vacation time was forfeited, but vacations reduce stress, increase happiness, help reconnect with loved ones and balance life. This time of year, you’re either going on vacation or feeling bad because you can’t afford to take one. Rami Lazarescu says everyone should use their vacation - whether they can afford a trip or not – to invest in happiness.  In fact, memorable experiences contribute more to our happiness than our money or ‘stuff.’ We here at the Financial Survival Network couldn't agree more. Do what you have to do, but make sure you take a meaningful break regularly.

From an old engineer's standpoint, Japan's QE actions have set the world's economies reeling. Currency wars are going off the charts and developing economies are taking it on the chin. The sanctity of brands have been eroding as well. Try counting your bathroom tissue or check out the bottom of the jar being hollowed out. There's no hope of righting the system. The rule of law continues to erode and the elites are running rough-shod over all of us. The security surveillance complex is out to get us all. Be on the look out for even more scandals and a further undermining of the global power structure.

Jon C. Frank returns to the Financial Survival Network to discuss the pros and mostly cons of GMO foods. Monsanto, the leading proponent of these so-call Frankenfoods has won some major court victories lately, but they've been getting killed in the court of public opinion. More and more countries are banning them outright and there's a huge growing backlash in the United States as well. It seems like public acceptance of genetically engineered food is sinking like a stone. Hopefully the debate will be resolved shortly and we can go back to a nutritionally healthy food supply.
