www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Chris Duane joins us for our weekly discussion of the meltdown of the western Economic system. Chris also discusses the weird Blythe Masters interview on CNBC a couple weeks ago. Chris and I agree it seemed totally scripted and was only put out for some very underhanded reasons. Something big is cooking, and obviously JP Morgan is under a lot of pressure and used Blythe’s interview in an attempt to put some good publicity out there. We have all seen how the Da Boyz can successfully manipulate the market for a few days, but consider that JP Morgan much like the Fed will only admit what they cant hide anymore.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Joanne "Jo" Nova has made a career of fighting a never ending war against propaganda, media manipulation, and ignorance. Jo is the ultimate climate change skeptic, and she's even written a book about it. From Australia, where she resides, her message resonates around the world; stand up, think for yourself, and stop letting the government think for you. This message, along with many others, is in her book Skeptic's Handbook, which has hit 200,000 copies. Jo is trying to get people to understand there's a lot more to widely held popular beliefs; thus, we all need to question them on a regular basis. According to Jo, the current economic crisis is not being caused by a failure of free markets, which haven't been seen around the world for over 100 years. Rather, it's the opposite that is the cause. Jo believes crony capitalism, manipulated central planning, and collectivist tendencies of governments worldwide are what have put us in this protracted economic instability and collapse.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Dana L. Meador is a CPA with over 27 years of experience in accounting, taxation, and business management. For the past 20 years, she has been a consultant to the insular world of ultra-high net worth individuals and their partnerships, trusts, and corporations (which have ranged from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies in a variety of industries such as equity investment, real estate, restaurant, retail, banking, oil and gas, and online services). Dana believes that for the first time since the Great Depression, our country is in real financial peril. People want to follow a nobler path; they need a new breed of business executive to inspire them - one who is willing to set a positive example and prove to his employees that earning a reasonable amount of compensation and building a profitable company with purpose and staying power don’t have to be mutually-exclusive concepts. We must rekindle our ethics, reduce the disparity between the have and have-nots in this country and embrace global humanistic ideals that will restore our standing as the most respected nation in the world. With fear and desperation gripping our nation, there's no other way out; this is why Dana is seeking to spread the wealth shift.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Bob Chapman joined FSN again for our biweekly check-in. He believes things are going so badly in Europe, and they are getting worse by the moment. This means the elites must do everything in their power to keep the price of gold and silver in the cellar, no matter what it takes. But, it can only go on for so long until the market rights itself, and the manipulators get swept away. The good news is we're getting closer to that point, it's just a matter of time! While it's certainly a good idea to have some cold hard cash on hand, Bob believes it will only take a matter of days for people to adjust to the new monetary paradigm, when gold and silver become real money again.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents James Jaeger is a noted filmaker and documentarian. We interviewed him several months back about his latest work Spoiler, which examined whether Dr. Ron Paul could wind up being elected president. Many people have questioned Dr. Paul's viability as a bona fide candidate, and the main stream media has all but written him off. However, Ron Paul has plugged on and has been experiencing a larger and larger following. Perhaps the ultimate question is whether the perception of economic well-being, which is totally unfounded in reality, will evaporate before the parties' candidates are chosen. From the looks of things, that's a very real possibility. If the collapse re-emerges then Dr. Paul's odds go way up. But if the elitists are able to stave off the collapse until after the summer, then he will be eliminated from consideration, unless he starts a third-party candidacy. To date, Dr. Ron Paul hasn't indicated if he's willing to do this, but he hasn't rejected it either. As of now, nothing is settled, and all eyes are upon the economy and Dr. Paul.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Ed Caccia is a loyal listener to the show. He's also a fellow New Yorker, and a very savvy investor. By studying history and understanding the life cycle of unbacked monetary systems, he came to the inescapable conclusion the only lasting wealth comes from the ground. While there are certainly other ways to earn a living or a return, resource based investing has proven time and again, that food, gold, silver, and energy are always worth considering as investments. Ed and I also talked about the dumbing down of schools and their failure to teach American History. "Those who fail to learn from history are destined to repeat it," this catchphrase has never been truer than today. Hearing someone in Ed's position explain how he came to understand that the present system was doomed can be very instructive. We're looking forward to having Ed on again for a follow-up interview soon. Go to www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com for the latest info on the Economy, Markets and Precious Metals.

But, he has developed a number of steps that you can take to avoid much of the brunt of the coming economic calamity. HisUnconventional Guide to Investing in Troubled Times is a must for those struggling to make it through these trying times. You need to be hopeful and optimistic in your own personal affairs regardless how bad things appear to be. Charles has new insights into starting a business and how to make it succeed.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents "Ranting" Andy Hoffman joins us for our Monday get together, fresh with news that YPF, a large Argentine Oil Company, partly owned by Spanish Oil Company Respol, was nationalized by the Argentine Government. Sounds like a trade war to us. But this underscores the point that no paper wealth is safe from the clutches of government. It doesn't matter what country's government we are talking about. Eventually, when there's an existential threat to its continued survival, no man's life, liberty, or property is safe. We're truly talking man versus state. And whether there's a socialist slant to the argument, is really irrelevant. Government is the destroyer of wealth, freedom, and the individual. What we are seeing now is simply a trend that has been forming for many years. The battle of the individual and his primacy over the state has been going on since man realized that some form of government was necessary to help ensure survival. Unfortunately, like all other man-made creations, what starts out as an asset, transforms into a liability. In this instance one that threatens everyone's survival.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Rick Ackerman is a technical analyst par excellent. His hidden pivot system has been right so many times that FSN reviews his work regularly to assess upcoming trends. Right now, he’s seeing another uptrend in the dollar and more bad news for Europe. The ECB blew through $1 trillion in a very short time and at this rate what can they do next? The bond markets are being “stage-managed” by the Fed and the ECB to try to create the appearance of normalcy. But these markets are far from normal! There’s a lot of dark storm clouds on the horizon. So watch out! Are you wondering how long these markets can continue on their merry way to higher highs and higher lows? While the long term trend may be obvious to most, it’s in the short term where you lose the money-- as in right now! Rick Ackerman’s short term calls over the past year have been uncanny. He’ll let you know where he thinks the dollar and the Euro are heading now. Go to www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com for the latest info on the Economy, Markets and Precious Metals.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Some call it a global depression, but Bob Hoye calls it a post-bubble contraction. Bob has seen it all, and what he hasn’t seen, he’s studied. With a degree in geophysics and a lot of summers spent working in mining, Bob’s got some very interesting views on history and financial history especially. In the past, his capitulation model has been extremely accurate. He is a proud member of the rational fringe, which uses research instead of feelings to understand interest rate manipulations and their economic impact. Bob believes as did Mark Twain, while history may not repeat itself, it certainly rhymes. And nothing rhymes more than financial cycles of boom and bust from the beginning of history to present. According to Bob, one thing occurs in booms and it's the increase in real purchasing power of gold and silver. You can find Bob at www.InstitutionalAdvisors.com.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Trevor Bradley from Georgetown Marketing discussed how to internationalize your assets before it's too late. Many people are unaware that it is currently completely legal to invest funds overseas. Whether you're opening a bank account, investing in a business, or buying real estate, you are free to invest as you desire. However, you must do it properly and report it to the irs/government. Failure to properly disclose your overseas assets and investments can result in extremely Draconian fines and penalties. With the rapid deterioration of the US economic system, how much longer will Uncle Sam allow this? Trevor Bradley, a resident of Belize, is an expert in helping you do it the right way. The banks in Belize have an extremely high reserve requirement, 24 percent, the highest in the world! They only invest in 50 percent mortgages, meaning the borrower must put down 50 percent cash to purchase real estate. It's certainly worth looking into, if you're in the right circumstances. You never know when the government will prohibit overseas investment or asset holdings. They've been moving in that direction for many years.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Ty Andros and I wrap-up the week and discuss the serious situation in Europe, especially Spain. A former partner of mine who worked for a large telecom company always used to state, "The situation is hopeless, but never serious." But for Europe and the US it often appears hopeless and extremely serious. But, perhaps the "geniuses" that reside at the Fed and the European Central Bank will find a way out. That hasn't happened yet, and we're extremely skeptical that it will happen now, which means, it's inflate or die. The problem with this approach is that it merely puts off the day of reckoning to a time when hyper-inflation becomes the inevitable result of profligate money printing. This is where the world is heading! Every central bank in the world seems to have its chairman's gaze fixed on the rearview mirror and his foot all the way down on the accelerator. They are all acting totally oblivious to the abyss quickly approaching ahead. Perhaps one day soon the charmen will soon stare into that abyss and slam on the brakes. We can only hope!

www.financialsurvivalnetwork.com presents: Max Yemets was back on talking more about hyper-inflation and how debts get destroyed. He told the story of how his father took out a loan to purchase a bicycle back in post-Soviet controlled Ukraine. It was a large loan by their standards; but when hyper-inflation hit, his father was able to repay the loan for virtually nothing. There's something instructive about this scenario, and history could very well repeat itself. Imagine having a large mortgage that you get to pay back in greatly depreciated dollars. Max believes that if you aren't buying metals now, you should be! He suggests starting out small with pre-1965, US, 90% silver coins. Buy a few Quarters for around $6 each. Pretty soon, you'll just intuitively understand what real money is all about, and you'll know exactly what to do.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents: Danielle Park, the extremely talented host of www.JugglingDynamite.com and gifted money manager, joined us for our bi-weekly get-together and analysis of the rapidly unraveling global financial system. There's a major trader at JP Morgan who's literally juggling financial dynamite! Just like the big casino gambler that he actually is, his nickname is "The London Whale." He's juggling billions in derivatives positions and when those explosive units come crashing down to earth, the monetary system might very well crash with it. Why would he be allowed to act so recklessly? While we know there are many high-powered listeners to the show, who would have thought the Premier of China would be one of them? Wen Jiabao, while not quoting the Financial Survival Network interview, expressed his distaste for too big to fall banks, who are getting a free ride at the global public's expense. He favored breaking them up and forcing them to relinquish power. Who says all politicians are dense and unable or unwilling to grasp the dangers of over concentrated financial power? Now if he would only be as honest about the Chinese Communist Party and its Too Big To Fail State Enterprise Empire, China could get some real Hope and Change they could believe in!

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents: Dr. Marc Faber (Gloom Boom and Doom Report) thinks real estate in extremely depressed markets may be a good buy. He may be right, but he could also be wrong, and the markets could decline further. Yes markets in Florida, Phoenix and Vegas have declined by as much as 75% since the economic collapse began in 2007. However, that doesn’t mean these markets can’t decline even further. If you see a house in a boarded up subdivision, and it’s selling for next to nothing, that doesn’t make it a good buy. We propose several means of valuing a property you’re considering purchasing: 1) Is the house selling for 3 times or less than the average income of that neighborhood? That’s a traditional valuation that became obsolete during the housing boom, but has seen a revival. 2) Is it cheaper to own than it is to rent, before the tax benefit? This is becoming more and more prevalent in especially hard hit areas of the country. 3) Can you realize a positive cash flow on a home bought for investment or a multifamily property? As Robert Kiyosaki, of Rich Dad, Poor Dad acclaim says, an asset is something that returns a cash-flow. A liability is something a costs you money. Of course, you shouldn’t forget that pot of government subsidized mortgage money. Artificially low rates and minimal down payments could make a real estate purchase very attractive. But be selective; don’t settle for anything less than you want. After all, you’re a buyer in the mother of all buyer’s markets.

"Ranting" Andy Hoffman Reviews The End of the Indian Gold Strike and Faked Jobs Numbers--09.Apr.2012
FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents: "Ranting" Andy Hoffman of Miles Franklin joined us again for his weekly rant. He was particularly peeved today because his internet service went down, compliments of a wonderful oligarchic cable company that wants to control his existence. Then we got down to the end of the Great Indian Gold Strike of 2012. The gold merchants of India, which is by the way the largest gold consuming nation on Earth, won their battle against the government's attempt to impose an excise tax on gold imports. The strike lasted three weeks, during which time gold sellers were heard to proclaim, "No Gold for You!" The jobs numbers which were released last week, to coincide with the holidays and decreased public attention, were absolutely abismal. There was nothing redeeming about them, and they will lead to an immediate dose of Quantitative Easing 3.0. The numbers are so horrid; it's getting to the point where even the manipulators at the Bureau of Labor Statistics can't make them look good. The Labor Force Participation rate is in the cellar--over 88 million people are divorced from the force, an all time high.

FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents: Billy Murphy has been fighting the good battle for 13 years. His organization www.Gata.org has been the David fighting the Goliath of the Fed, the Bullion Banks, the US Government and many other foreign interests as well. Bill categorically states there hasn't been a free market in gold and silver for decades, and he's got the evidence to back it up. There are thousands of documents proving Fed manipulation and witnesses calling major price moves days before the actual event occurs. The manipulation and price rigging has only gotten worse since the beginning of 2012. First there was the Leap Day Metals Massacre. Then there was lasts week's slam during the slow holiday markets. While the intervention has become more constant, the elitist's efforts to hide it has not. Therefore, it's not unusual to see an entire year's supply of gold and silver sold into the futures markets in a matter of minutes. However, people and governments are starting to understand, which eventually will be the gold/silver cartel's undoing.

FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents: Chris Duane has just finished a new video about silver confiscation and why it's not going to happen. Many people are concerned about the ever-expanding government. We fear that eventually our silver will be confiscated, just like gold was in the 1930's. This is a highly unlikely occurrence, as there are too many large, attractive confiscation candidates, such as: COMEX, GLD, SLV and the other major dealers. Going house-to-house to seize physical holdings of precious metals is just not practical and could lead to violent backlashes. Chris and I also discussed why Homeland Security needs 450 million rounds of .40 caliber ammunition and 20,000 cleaning kits. It sounds much more like a lucrative corpratist giveaway that the government has become so expert at over the years. That's not to say you shouldn't be concerned, but rather there are much more important matters right now that need your attention, like building your financial survival plan.

FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents: The extent of the governmental corruption in the United States today is beyond comprehension. With that corruption comes the continuing erosion of individual rights and the escalating movement towards totalitarianism. Here's another example of what we are facing as a nation. A bill, which was passed by overwhelmingly majority in the US Senate, provides for revocation of a citizen's passport in the event of the delinquency of $50,000 or more on federal income taxes. Fortunately, passage in the House is questionable for now, but your government is clearly capable of anything. We see the same types of outrageous actions taking place with government backed student loans. If you're delinquent on your educational loan, good luck getting your transcript from your private university or college. You'll quickly find that it's being held for ransom. Is this really the way we want our government to behave towards us? How much longer before a violation of Obamacare leads to passport revocation? Or perhaps, in New York City failure to eat healthy or cease smoking will lead to seizure of your tax refund? Where will it all end?

FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents: The lastest jobs number was abysmal. GM's cars are rotting in the dealer lots, and there's just too much negative news to fullly absorb. The debt in Spain falls mainly at the Fed, and there's no possibility of saving the system because it died a long time ago. There's no way to bring the Zombie Banks back to life. So start saving your silver and gold because there's going to be a major upswing shortly. Forget the short term swings, look back over the past 10 years and think where you'd be now, if only you invested in the metals. Ty's perspective has been proven right over and over again.

Bix Weir-European Derivatives Are Blowing Up and The JP Morgan Rogue Trader Cover Story--06.Apr.2012
FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents: Bix Weir of www.RoadtoRoota.com fame believes there's an extreme derivatives induced meltdown taking place in Europe as we speak. Of course there's the story of a rogue trader from JP Morgan who's taken control of the world CDS market and is bending it to his will: obviously, with little or no supervision from his bosses. How can such things happen in today's financial world, especially after the passage of Dodd-Frank, which was supposed to solve all these problems?
The head of commodities trading at JP Morgan, also accused by some of being the antichrist of precious metals, Blyteh Masters appears for a completely scripted interview on a financial network and proclaims that she's shocked there's gambling and manipulation taking place, because it's so illegal. JP Morgan handles customer orders and hedges. The company has no control or influence over metals prices in any market, because that wouldn't be right. The metals investors have been known to pull out the garlic necklaces and silver crosses! Masters also happened to mention that she just bought a bridge in lower Manhattan and is entertaining offers on it. She proposed setting up EZ Pass toll lanes to charge bikers and pedestrians for the right to cross. It's so comforting to know that she's looking out for the public.

Go to FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com for the latest info on the Economy, Markets and Precious Metals. Ellen Brown has been studying the government debt problem for years and believes she has a solution. Rather than governments borrowing money from banks and outsiders, they should be borrowing directly from central banks. Thus any interest owed would be paid back to the government, eliminating a large portion of the resulting debt burden. Combine this with borrowing only for projects that will generate sufficient revenues to self-liquidate the loans and you have a prescription for responsible government finance. Canada did this successfully until the 1970's, when the Bank for International Settlements stepped in and helped end the practice. Now, Canada as well as most other developed Western nations, find themselves adopting austerity budgets, which Ellen believes will further accelerate the economic decline and have awful results. While Ellen's theory may sound much like having our cake and eating it too, it is important to understand that nothing else has even come close to working, so every possible option must be explored. You can find more of Ellen's unique economic writing at her site, www.WebOfDebt.com.
