Dr. Jeff Lewis came back on the show and we discussed Nassim Nicholas Taleb's latest book AntiFragile and what it means to society, the economy and your life. Turns out it's very relevant to what's happening now. There's not just bad black swans, there's good black swans and it's up to all of us to learn the difference. We also talked about the soon to be realized demise of hyper-hypothecation. Seems there's just not enough high quality collateral left in the world. The cycle of debt and death could be coming to an end soon. But Chris Duane would give you an argument on that point.

Ivan Eland believes that The United States, which has dominated East Asia since World War II, is now "pivoting" towards that region to stem the rise of a new regional power – China. The instinct of most status quo powers is to foil the ascent of a rival for domination. This approach rarely works, because the emerging power is usually rising because of internal factors that the status quo power can do little about. Thus, U.S. attempts to contain a rising China that is experiencing rapid economic growth – because of its huge population and partial economic privatization over the last few decades – is unlikely to succeed.

Danielle Park is back from vacation and we talked about Larry Summers being all but certain as the next Fed Chairman. No one is too happy with the choice as he was the prime enabler of the derivatives mess the world now finds itself in. He appears to be an advocate of Fed tapering of securities purchases, but we'll see about that one later. If he actually follows through then Dow 5,000 could be a reality. Danielle believes that it won't really affect the real economy which has been in the pits since 2008 anyway.

Heidi Boghosian explains that with ex-CIA staffer Edward Snowden’s leaks about National Security Agency surveillance in the headlines, her book Spying on Democracy: Government Surveillance, Corporate Power, and Public Resistance is especially timely. She reveals how the government acquires information from telecommunications companies and other organizations to create databases about 'persons of interest. However, anyone could be a person of interest in this day and age, which is why we all need to be concerned and involved.

Jerry Robinson came on the show to discuss the Middle East war cries. He believes that it's just part of the containment effort against Iran. There's an effort to build a gas pipeline through Iraq and Syria to enable Iran to ship its natural gas, against US wishes. As a result, Syria needs to be eliminated as a barrier to US policy. This could involve a cyber attack, to take them off the grid. Witness last week's outages of NASDAQ and Google, which is gearing up for a cyber war. Sounds far-fetched but who can say for sure?

Mickey Fulp joined us for a review the major markets. Gold and silver had major advances over the past two months. Gold broke $1400 and silver broke $24. Stock markets pulled back and energy went up as well. Currencies were flat. Rates, which we just started following are going up as well. This state of affairs was called by our expert Linsay Hall who urged our audience at the Liberty Mastermind Symposium to make a simple trade and short Treasuries. Much more to be heard here.

Our 300th Triple Lutz Report and it's hard to believe that we haven't run out of things to say yet. If we haven't by this point I guess we never will. If that upsets some people, they'll just have to get over it. Obamacare just can't seem to catch a break. This ill-conceived poorly implemented piece of Washington garbage is quickly becoming a laughing stock. How bad can it possibly get? Just wait, you ain't seen nothing yet! And just like we promised you, Colorado and the City of Denver are about to discover how much of a cash cow Marijuana really is. They both have tax initiatives on the ballot.

John Rubino of www.DollarCollapse.com joined us today. He sees that the real estate bubble, which looked like it was successfully reinflated, has begun to deflate. Higher interest rates, a slowing economy, and other factors appear to be taking their toll. Currently, over half of real purchases taking place are for cash. This means that investors are the primary market and that the public is largely absent from the home market arena. Other disturbing trends are in place. War clouds are on the horizon and the developing economies are seeing hot money draining out of their economies. Where's the next black swan going to appear? Good question and no doubt the answer will present itself shortly.

Bob Harper has been beating the market for decades. 18 percent average return isn't too shabby. He's got some simple rules that go a long way. In 2008 his only losing year, he lost just a few percent. This year he's up around 20 percent. His golf buddies still can't believe his performance. He doesn't pick indvidual stocks. He invests in index funds with low transaction costs and no commissions. Pretty remarkable performance for a low risk strategy.

Martha Guidry is the Concept Queen. She helps businesses, large and small, come up with compelling concepts to drive business and sales. We discussed a number of blunders committed by companies that should have known better. Top of the list was New Coke, which lasted exactly 79 days. Then there was the Ford Edsel, the Ford Pinto and a whole lot more. The point is that even the pros make mistakes, big ones sometimes, but they live to fight another day.

Martin Lee of Project CBD is concerned that people suffering from many diseases are being deprived of effective cannabis treatments. Millions of people could see their symptoms relieved and their suffering diminished. The war on drugs has become a government make work program and has served little other purpose. It's time now to look at the science on cannabis that has been collected in so many other countries and end this pointless moratorium.

Les Landes has spent a life time trying to figure out what it takes to get a company's employees to go the extra mile. Some companies, like Apple, just have a knack for it, while other companies can't seem to get their employees to show up for work. He's discovered that there are definite methods that work and that any company that's motivated can use them to turn their employees into rockets. We discussed the Lockheed Skunkworks and the amazing aircraft they produced, as an example of Les's principals in action.

Constitutional scholar Carl Jarvis was back discussing the need for congress to approve of any military action against Syria. It seems like just yesterday when Congressional Democrats were demanding that George W. Bush seek their approval before invading Iraq. Now they are silent about Obama needing their approval for action against Syria. Seems like a double standard, doesn't it. The fact is that the congress has abdicated its role in declaring war and allowed the president near unfettered authority to decide when to attack. The Founders clearly didn't want such a state of affairs and for good reason.

Jon Frank believes that your food may not be providing you with adequate nutrition. The solution is quite simple. Look for foods that are nutritionally dense. Jon gives common sense tips that show you how to find foods that have the nutritional value that you need to keep you healthy. The good thing is that these foods actually taste better. Once you get the hang of it, it's actually quite simple to identify them. Just because something says organic, doesn't mean that it's nutritious. You need to go the extra mile to establish it's nutrional value.

Woody O'Brien is very skeptical of the so-called chemical attack that took place in Syria and is concerned that it's a false flag attack and a justification for American involvement there. He's also concerned about the potential market and economic collapse here in the US as he sees revenues at Walmart and many other companies weakening, even after major price increases have been pushed through. He's looking for increased farm automation and other technological breakthroughs on the farm to help keep the world fed. In short he's a visionary.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is going after The Donald Trump for alleged fraud involving Trump University. Trump claims it's all because he didn't give Schneiderman enough campaign contributions. Trump's willing to go to the mat with politicians who rub him the wrong way, so be prepared for a lot of fun and countless amusing sound bites.

Would you believe that there are private workers collecting government pensions? That's right, lobbyists that represent schools districts, county, town and city associations get big bucks and on top of all that get to retire on the public's dime. Seems corrupt to the core but in 20 states it's actually legal. Gives new meaning to the word parasite.  

Finally, LA's mayor has declared a state of emergency because movies and tv shows are fleeing the city for better subsidies and cheaper costs. Surprise, surprise.

Chris Simmons says that since 9-11 America has spent trillions for the purported purpose of making the homeland more secure. Much of that money has been wasted and hasn't accomplished very little, if anything. The number of Americans killed by Al Qaeda each year is very few and yet we're spending hundreds of billions defending against this remote threat. Things in Syria are heating up and the Kurds are fleeing by the thousands. Chris is extremely concerned about this development. The Kurds are an extremely hardy people, who are used to living in a hostile environment, so for them to be running is an ominous sign.

Andy Hoffman joined us for another of his famous Monday rants. Things are going exactly as planned. Interest rates are on the rise. New housing sales are declining and so are durable goods orders, which is strange because July is right in the middle of what should be peak housing numbers. Could it bee that things aren't as rosy as the politicians would have you believe? But how could that be, they promised that prosperity was just around the corner. And they would never lie to you, would they?

Richard Ruhling, MD, is a retired physician who taught Health Science at Loma Linda. He believes that the government is pushing medical care as healthcare, but that the more prescriptions one takes, the worse one's health becomes. He became board-certified in internal medicine, but says drugs create illness due to Adverse Drug Reactions that make medical care a leading cause of death. Adverse Drug Reactions are defnied as from a drug "properly prescribed and administered." It's not an overdose or a bad prescription. And of course Obamacare does nothing to address this situation and instead perpetuates the bad behaviors that led to the need to take the drugs in the first place. It was written by big pharma to encourage more people to take drugs.

The panel includes John Stossel of FOX business news and author of No They Can’t: Why government fails but individuals succeed; as well as David Walker, former US Comptroller. They both are warning about how the government has overpromised and the real threat of decreased social security and medicare benefits for retirees going forward. Dennis will be talking about how traditional retirement strategies no longer work and how people need to act now to put their retirement plan into place. You can check it out at www.americasbrokenpromise.org.

Dr. Elaina George is an outspoken critic of Obamacare. As a practicing physician she sees first hand the damage that it is causing. Unless patinets and doctors resist this draconian incursion of the state into the doctor patient relationship, the results will be devastating. Avoidable deaths will increase and the health of the American public will decline. There is no alternative. The congress will not save us and the republicans are all but useless in the debate.
