Greg Hunter built his career working various mainstream media outlets. He was at CNN when he noticed that once reputable news groups were no longer interested in covering the real news. Whether it was the popping of the real estate bubble, the economic collapse, or Sherrif Joe Arpao's investigation into Obama's birth certificate, the media now refuses to cover stories that don't support its view of the world. But fortunately the internet has enabled curious minded people to tap an unlimited number of sources to uncover the truth. And this is the key to surviving and thriving in the new economy. All the institutions that you once put your faith and trust in, are no longer worthy of either. But you have a choice, go for what's real and what has lasting value. More and more people are doing it and so it's no wonder that the mainstream media becomes less relevant by the day.

Dr. Yaron Brook, head of the Ayn Rand Institute joined us for a discussion about the upcoming presidential election and his new book, Free Market Revolution: How Ayn Rand's Ideas Can End Big Government. It's shocking to think that the United States achieved its greatness, largely through the operation of free market economics and that now we must all hope for a Free Market Revolution. The Founders would not believe the state of the country they founded upon the unique principals of limited government and individual sovereignty. But these concepts are finding new audiences and they are resonating with college students who've acquired six figure debts with very poor career prospects to show for it.

Joel Stern studied under Milton Friedman and knows a lot about how the world's economy got where it is today. He's worked with countries, companies, and has been teaching students about the virtues of the free market and its ability to lift the human race's level of prosperity and contentment. The Rule of Law is the cornerstone of economic and individual freedom for decades. In the US today, the Rule is eroding and this poses a threat to everyone's liberty and their pursuit of happiness. Hopefully with people like Professor Stern fighting the fight, and others joining daily, freedom will advance around the world as well as in its birth place, the United States.

Bart Chilton who's a CFTC (Commodity Future Trading Commission) Commissioner appears to be an endangered species; an honest official who wants to protect the public. But besides possibly issuing a blistering minority report, he can’t do much more. The CFTC itself is a complete scam and they couldn't care less about the public. If that's not true why haven't they gone after Corzine and MF Global, which involved huge trading positions financed by stolen customer funds? Why has it taken them 4 years of soul searching to conclude an investigation that any accountant with a spreadsheet and some trading data could have completed in a beer laced weekend? And how could anyone expect a different outcome? 

The CFTC should never have been created. While we have no love for the SEC, they already regulate the futures and options traders anyway. The CFTC has been a regulatory backwater, pretty much a toothless tiger, since its 1974 inception. To believe that it would challenge the entrenched financial elite along with the US Government, and somehow blow the lid off of the incessant Silver Manipulators, is as Dr. Johnson said about second marriages, "The triumph of hope over experience." So get real, the only thing that will dethrone these econo-sociopaths is the ultimate crash, which is coming to a bourse near you in the not too distant future.

Ranting Andy was recently interviewed in the TheDailyBell.com, one of the top libertarian freedom thinking sites in the world. They’re out of Switzerland and they’ve interviewed hundreds of the top freedom lovers around the world, including yours truly. But Andy’s interview set new standards for his of the economic free fall that the elites have been trying to cover up for years. Andy believes that these elites can’t control much of anything anymore, besides interest rates and the money system, and that their ability to do even these tasks is rapidly diminishing. But the final chapter has yet to be written, so we’ll just have to see how it all works out.

We also discussed the Financial Times report on the CFTC's intent to close the silver manipulation investigation. It only took four years for them to figure out that there wasn't enough evidence. One must wonder what these government employees really do for a living. Anyone armed with a spreadsheet and the daily trading data can figure this one out. Bill is incredulous and has no confidence in the US Government, the Fed or the CFTC. He joins an ever growing club. 

In addition, Andy has been fully invested in gold and silver for nearly a decade and believes the best for gold/silver and the worst for fiat currencies is about to occur.

Val and Mo are back for another intoxicating stroll down the Corridors of Wall Street. They certainly know how to throw a party. They're using the so-called Dupont Screen, which means they're looking for stocks that are near the top of their markets and appear to be selling at a discount. And who came on that screen, none other than Apple! So did Coach, United Technologies and Ball Corp. You'd be surprised how much Apple Computer and Coach Leather have in common. But the Grey Goose affect was definitely being felt, so you be the judge of this one. (BLL, UTX, AAPL, COH). 

They're still had at work at then new Magic Screen, the ValMentum index. They might be on to something, who knows?

Great news on Friday! We added 163,000 new jobs. Break out the champagne, happy days are here again. I hope you're as skeptical as I am about these numbers. Seems like after you take into account the jobs that were supposedly created by new businesses that were formed, the so called birth-death index, strip out the seasonal adjustments, the numbers tell a somewhat different story. Those two numbers added over 400,000 "new" jobs to the total. So we actually had a near quarter million job loss for the month. And last month’s “gain” was adjusted downward as well. Now that's something that's sure to help the election prospects of the current occupant. But everyone, regardless of their educational level and understanding of the ways the books are cooked knows in their heart of hearts that things are getting worse not better. Housing is still in the dumps. Food stamp recipients keep going up and on and on. The stores on your main street or in the mall are still vacant. Who are they trying to kid?

George Matheis is our go to guy for all matters concerning preparation and self-defense. George has gotten extensive training in these areas and has been teaching law enforcement professionals for many years. Therefore, when he explains how to avoid becoming a target, we all should listen. First, when going out to public events, always map an escape route. This will help you in the event of fires and other emergencies. If you know how to escape, you're odds of survival go way up. Also, situational awareness is key. Know your surroundings and be aware of potential threats and dangers. And in the event of injury, to yourself or others, some basic first aid can go along way until the paramedics can reach you.

There's lots more here, including how big a private water supply you should have.

Perhaps you're unaware, but the unravelling of Europe continues at an epic pace. One half of Europe would like to live at the expense of the other half. And the people paying the bills are quickly getting fed up with the moochers. How much long will Finland put up with it, let alone Germany and the other producing nations that feel like total patsies? Thid is the important question. Usually, as Bob Hoye explained, major collapses take place in the Fall. No one has the appetite to address tragedy in the summer. The Europeans have extended vacations planned and besides, the deposits have already been paid. So what's a few more months, when your vacation is hanging in the balance?

Alasdair sees no respite from the non-stop financial collapse and he doesn't see any of the parties putting forth workable solutions. So the net result is more of the same until the ultimate break-up of the Euro and the European Union occurs. After all, there's really no country standing behind the Euro, just a mottly collection of central banks that are in serious decline.

The latest Flash Crash Blast. A lot of stocks got slammed and then came back resoundingly. It happened to big stocks and small stocks alike. Knight, the market maker responsible for it could be facing insolvency as a result. If things are going to wrong, they will go wrong in the fall. The corporate bond market has been rallying like crazy but appears to be getting close to its high. It looks like its time to start lightening up on them and perhaps treasuries as well.  It made an Eiffel Tower pattern with a clear downside pattern ahead. The same is likely to happen with the emerging market bonds. People have been chasing yield and looking for it in all the wrong places. Interestlingly commodities may also take a hit. They've risen in large measure due to the Midwest drought. There could be trouble this fall. The last 5 crashes going back hundreds of years have always occurred in the autumn. Will this crash be different than the rest?

Dudley Baker is an eternal optimist, but with good reason. Through his service www.PreciousMetalsWarrants.com, I have personally seen him score a number of extremely large returns, with very little investment and risk. Many of the stocks and warrants he's recommended are trading for just pennies a share. But they're not penny stocks, they have real operations, real management and real prospects for the future. Dudley uses a number of proprietary indicators to make his choices, but perhaps his most reliable metric is insider buying. While not a sure fire guarantee, it has been said that insiders can have many reasons for selling their stock, but only one for buying it--expected higher earnings and appreciation.

But Dudley's also just a genuinely nice guy who's really just trying to help. So when he thinks a bottom will be in place at some point in the future, I believe him.

Diana Zoppa has been an indispensible part of the Freedom-Based. Libertarian site www.The DailyBell.com. She's handled hundreds of interviews with many of the most pre-emminent minds in the world of finance, economics and philosophy. Diana's father believed in honest money--silver and implored Diana and her siblings to keep acquiring the shiny metal, and that one day they would thank him. And that day arrived several years ago.

We're extremely grateful that Diana will be joining us weekly to review the important trends facing you, your family and your community. She brings an international perspective, hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and having travelled extensively. And her husband Shawn's been involved in precious metals mining throughout his career, so Diana definitely gets the big picture.

The Mercenary Geologist and I got together for our monthly review of the markets. There was lots of action, but what a difference a day makes. But the important issues of the day far eclipsed the market wrap-up. The Fed basically said nothing, other than they are very concerned about the poor state of the economy and will do what needs to be done, can anyone say money printing? Oh and by the way, the US Postal Service is broke, insolvent and bankrupt. They're going to miss a $5.5 billion payment towards retiree health benefits that they would like to do away with anyway. There was another major flash crash that took place at major market maker Knights operation. But never fear, the SEC is on the case and heads are not gonna roll.

Casey Research's Ed Steer joined us for a look at the stunningly blatant manipulation that took place today in the gold and silver markets. The moment Ed hit his send key on today's gold and silver report, he knew what was going to happen. And as usual, he was not at all disappointed. Ed says that the biggest problem for investors today, is that they have to overcome market psychology and buy the precious metals in a falling market. Very few people have the stomach and the nerve do this. But as a recent guest said, "You're either a contrarian or you're a victim." The choice is yours.

Bill Holter, who's well know in precious metals and is an expert and finding safety from the approaching financial storm was with us again. He believes that the Fed and the Treasury are becoming less relevant by the moment. Together they've spent over $20 trillion trying to get the US and the World out of the current economic depression. And it's all been to no avail. The economy is getting worse, unemployment is up, so is foodstamp use and the list goes on and on. At some point we get to end game, and that's not too far away. Bill works with Ranting Andy Hoffman and we're looking forward to having them both come on FSN this Monday to expound on these important issues.

Ed Caccia live in the studio. He's a big fan of the Financial Survival Network and he's getting angrier and angrier at Mayor Nanny Mike Bloomberg's ever more tyrannical and fanatical efforts to dictate every aspect of your life, from how your children get their nutrition, to how many sodas you consume to whether or not you have the right to keep and bear arms as embodied in the Second Amendment. In times of crisis the government is like your un-wanted, un-loved brother-in-law (FBI). He wants to move into your house, live at your expense and then complain that the house isn't clean and that your wife is a lousy cook. How dare these people! Who do they think they are? Whatever happened to the notion of personal responsibility. Ed and I share a special bond as fellow New Yorkers and Westchesterites. We're both fed up and the ultimate move out of the People's Republic of New York gets ever closer.
