Martin Armstrong sees an increasing level of lawlessness as government tries ever harder to keep the system going. It can't last and will eventually lead to a new currency. There is no other way. This means that your best bet for surviving the transition is gold/silver, stocks and real estate. Tangible goods are your key to survival. You need to be carefully examine your future retirement. Be sure to build relationships with health care providers. Failure to do so could leave you unable to obtain treatment.

This was lengthy interview touching upon many different areas. Our best discussion to date. Remember, government will always attempt to spend more than it takes in. Our responsibility as citizens is to prevent this natural course of events from happening again and again.

Professor Laurence Kotlikoff is an expert on the federal budget and the world banking system. The entire deposit insurance scheme has many fissures and will not protect you when you most need it. There's too many deposits to be paid and not enough many to pay it. Prof. Kotlikoff has a better idea, force banks to put their deposits into mutual funds who will then be responsible for investing it. This will take the casino aspect out of the system and restore stability. Prof. Kotlikoff also has some very valuable investment tools available. Check them out at www.esplanner.com and www.MaximizeMySocialSecurity.com. They are excellent guides to help you plan your retirement.

Commander David Stevens (Ret) and I spoke just before a meteor rained down on Russia. Talk about vindication coming from the heavens, Dave has been warning our leaders and humanity about the possibility of catastrophic asteroid and comet strikes on planet Earth. Obviously, he must know something that we don't. While it's a difficult subject to address, by simply eliminating a little bit of government waste around the planet, a system could be put in place to protect you from this possible extinction event.

Jonathan Burton is a noted investment expert and writer. While it appears that the entire world has recently discovered high dividend stocks, Jonathan caustions that they often come with added risk. You need to do your research to be certain that the dividend is safe and secure. You also need to understand that these stocks are susceptible to market corrections, just like the rest of your portfolio. There is no such thing as a risk free investment. Your challenge is to understand the risks inherent in any investment and use readily available strategies to minimize it.

Gary Gibson joined FSN today. He's kicking himself in the butt, just as yours truly, for not buying bitcoins when they 50 cents a piece. While the alternative currency is rapidly escalating in price, it could go even higher. At $253 per bitcoin it's hard to imagine it doing so, but it's certainly a possibility. This is the first of many emerging digital currencies that willsweep the globe. Perhaps a currency that is locked in at a maximum of 21 million units is more trustworthy than currencies like the dollar and the euro which can be manufactured in infinite quantities. Beware, governments know that this is a major threat to their currency monopoly and it's just a matter of time till they declare war upon alternative currencies. Be ready!

Shock of all shocks. Marijuana tourism is happening now in Washington State and Colorado. And it promises to be a financial windfall, for business and the government. An entire industry is being legitimized before our very eyes. From custom made $350 glass bongs to marijuana infused baked goods, free market economic expansion is being allowed to work its magic. Perhaps it's a sign of things to come. No doubt, more states will be liberalizing the weed, once they see the economically beneficial effects in CO and WA.

We caught up with Ranting Andy Hoffman even though we're on the road. We tried to solve the Chinese riddle, "How can the unemployment rate go down, when unemployment is going up?" It's really quite simple, lying government statistics. Adjust for people leaving the labor force faster than unemployment increases. Then before you know it, you'll have a nation of unemployed citizens, while at the same time that there will be more people on the streets than ever before. Throw in a generous disability insurance system and there's no limit to the improvement in the economy.

Today's report discussed the coming Obamacare crash. It's going to be an epic fail. It can't be implemented and even if it could, the unintended consequences doom it to failure. Nextl, we discuss the latest egregious case of Foodstamp fraud. An enterprising convenience store owner in my new home state was buying deeply discounted EBT cards and redeeming them for food to stock his store's shelves with. And he was a second time offender. Fnally, Breitbart believes it has debunked the myth of huge ammo purchases by Big Sis's Department of Homeland Security. But, perhaps not.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it is. Seems the lazy bureaucrats have a real problem on their hands. There's just not enough time to figure out the 70,000 pages of Obamacare regulations. This means that implementation has hit a real roadblock, which is good for you and good for America. How Congress will choose to fix this problem is anyone's guess, but I expect thst it will never see the light of day. The program is going to be dropped and forgotten as soon as possible. So get ready, you heard it here first.

Diana and I discussed a story about supposed memos that the Department of Homeland Security sent to banks around the country. In it, they assert that they have the unfettered right to enter and seize safe deposit boxes, without a court order, looking for gold, silver, guns and currency. I question the validity of this story, although there's no question in my mind that Big Sis Janet Napolitano is certainly more than capable of such travesties. This is certainly where we're headed anyway, but we can't accept any internet story at face valueI jwithout proof.

A new guest on FSN, Aaron Clarey, a/k/a Capitain Capitalism. He writes a popular blog and has published a number of books. He lays out a plan that all of us can take advantage of in dealing with the escalating decline of the United States. You're only one of 300 million people and there's not a lot that you can do to affect the inevitable outcome. However, you don't have to let it depress you and make you feel bad about life. In fact, you can do the exact opposite. You can use the decline to improve and enjoy your life more than you ever have before.

Ned Schmidt is a regular guest on FSN. He's been writing a newsletter for many years and he's welcomed the recent precious metals decline. It's a great time to buy. The hedge funds are being forced from the market. This is all good for the future of precious metals. He thinks that the market might have put in a final bottom today. As Ned explains, first the newly printed dollars went into bonds, then into the stock market and finally they're going into commodites. Finally the inflation really picks up steam and then it's off to the precious metals markets.

Alasdair McLeod of GoldMoney joined us today for an engaging discussion about what's going on in the bank world today. The world has made the decision that in the event of wide scale bank failures, large depositors are going to pony up or participate in an involuntary bail-in. While this may be the only way to save the system, it could be a case of killing the village to save it, a strategy popularized by the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War. If this doesn't get large depositors spreading their wealth around, then nothing will.

Woody O'Brien and I became friends on Facebook. I was enjoying a number of his postings and he became fond of FSN. Thus a relationship was born. Like so many others in the new economy, a physical meeting is not required. Woody has purchased a farm and is living in an undisclosed location in West Virginia. He believes the collapse is getting closer and wants to be prepared, with ample food, water and ammo. Preparation is the key and that's what he's doing now.

Daniel Park is still suffering through a nasty bout of winter, as is the world financial system. Fortunately, spring will follow winter, in Canada as well as Wall Street. However, it's going to take a lot of effort and reform for the monetary system to again see better days. Until that happens, we'll be seing a lot more Cypruses along the way. What happened to the Cypriot large depositors is nothing new. Large depositors have been getting their haircut for many years. Deposit insurance isn't meant to cover everyone, but rather the smaller depositors who would find themselves waiting on line to take their money out.

Obamacare is just the tip of the regulatory iceberg. The Obama regime is flooding the country with new regulations on virtually every aspect of the economy. The results will be slower growth and an increasing of the pace towards a socialistic system. Brian believes that a cultural change is necessary so that government can be reigned in and made accountable. Accomplishing this task is going to a major event that forces people to undertstand that it is neither possible no preferrable that the government be all things to all people.

The TEA Party is a living and breathing poiitical movement that is evolving and becoming much more than a movement of disgruntled rightists looking to bring back the better times of days past. Greg wants to see the Congress and politicians enforce the Constitution and go back to a government of limited powers. Right now, we have a government of unlimited powers. If they simply followed the Constitution, most of the problems that we're encountering now would be solved. And for that reason Greg has vowed to fight on.

Mickey Fulp, the erstwhile Mercenary Geologist joined us for the monthly market mop up. A lot actually happened in March. The stock markets with the exception of the TSX and TSX-V continued their resounding march forward. Metals continued getting beat up, except Platinum and Palladium. The energies were up, especially natural gas, which is currently trading over $4, who would have thunk it? And the dollar, currently being the lesser of the two evils, traded up. It was an exciting month with lots of volatility, which is always a trader's best friend.

Gordon, myself and so many others have been foretelling the end of the current monetary system for too long. Now the reality is starting to happen and there's not much anyone can do about it. Every country in the world is going to be affected by this cataclysmic event. While the world is certainly heading to towards Chinese domination, there's nothing set in stone. The knowledge boom is sweeping away the orthodoxy and we're all on our own. Individuals will reign supreme. Small companies will be dominant.

First, check out this link to a classic South Park episode. http://www.therundown.tv/videos/misc-videos/south-park-and-its-gone-scene/. At Stanley's father's insistence, he goes to the bank to deposit a $100 check from his grandmother. The nice accommodating bank officer puts it into a money market fund, the proceeds of which will be invested in a safe foreign currency investment derivative. No sooner are the funds deposited, then the officer informs Stanley, "It's gone!" Stanley is angered and dumbfounded and is shooed out of the bank by the Bankster. Same thing is happening now in Cyprus. It's gone!
