Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

We talked with Steve A Klein who says he awakens Sleeping Giants. Steve has developed a wide range of training and consultation programs as well as a strong background in personal development training. As President of the Professional Development Center, Steve's mission is simple: he works with Individuals who want to double their sales in less time and Leaders who want to motivate and develop their people. He believes success is "the movement of one's potential toward their objective!"

Comrade DeBlasio has New York City on a race to the bottom and he's not going to let anyone or anything stop him. Hopefully gold and silver have beaten him there and are on their way up. We also cover basic Austrian Economics how regulations actually do cost jobs, $2 trillion worth every year! Also, we're looking a small winery in California that was put out of business by abusive regulation because of a horrible business practice called volunteers, the scourge of humanity. Oh the horror! And finally the long awaited Stockton CalPERS decision that sounds the death knell for public pensions and marks the golden age of municipal bankruptcy. 

Arch Crawford joined us today for a look at the stars and their impact upon world events and markets. This morning was the latest Blood Moon, which bodes ill for mankind and world markets. There's still several more left before the last next fall. What are the stars and planets trying to tell us? According to Arch, be ready for more turmoil and civil unrest. It's all ready taking place and it's bound to get worse. Arch isn't to optimistic about gold and silver in the short term, until they start making higher highs. However, everyone should own an "insurance policy" against economic chaos. There's a lot more coming up in the months ahead, so be prepared.

Tom Cloud has been selling precious metals for almost as long as he's been selling diamonds, 38 years! He's seen markets go up and down, several times. He's convinced that we'll soon see gold and silver put in their final lows and it will be all up from there. In the mean time, colored diamonds have been doing nothing but going up for the past decade, and that's with little interference from the cartel. So take your pick, but get ready, because fiat currencies are suspect and for good reason. 

Danielle Park joined us today. Besides the rising dollar and the affects being felt around the globe, from declining profits of America's multi-nationals to investment flows finding their way to the States, there's going to be a new Sheriff in town soon. Mr. Too Big To Jail Eric Holder has resigned as attorney general. Will this clear the way for the return of the rule of law in America? Danielle thinks it might and we certainly are hopeful.

Ivan Eland believes that neither the Congress nor the Courts will ever limit the President's war powers, regardless what it may say in the Constitution. They're unwilling to risk the fallout of having troops in the battlefield being forced to return home because there's no funding available to keep them stationed there. So the President effectively can make war at will, just like the kings of yesteryear. 

Former Dean Dob Neuman believes that college is still worth the time and expense if it's done properly. Properly means graduating is in 4 years or less if possible. That way you'll keep your debt to an absolute minimum. It also means getting the most in grants and scholarships and of course planning your major before you step foot on campus. Using this common sense approach will insure that your college education pays for itself, rather than you paying for it the rest of your life. 

Nationally known radio personality James Lowe believes that legal pot is helping the homeless in Colorado. Is it possible that the homeless are finding jobs and improving their lives as a result of the legalization movement? Well the studies aren't in yet, so you'll have to make up your own mind on the subject. 

What can you say about September that hasn't already been said? It was a horrible month for precious metals. Gold, silver, platinum and palladium were all down significantly. Same with energy except NatGas. Uranium was the stellar performer, up 26 percent for the quarter. All the stock markets started turning down with the TSX.V and the Emerging Markets really getting clobbered. The Dollar Index was a bigger winner for the month. Bitcoin got down 24%. Volatility was definitely the word for the month. Listen on for more details. 

Dick Morris, well known political consultant and media personality has written a new book Power Grab: Obama's Dangerous Plan For A One Party Nation. In it, Dick outlines what he believes is Obama's shadowy plan to make the Republican Party irrelevant. Using the levers of government through immigration, the EPA, the IRS and other agencies, it will soon be impossible for the Republicans to win the presidency. Scary, but it still can be stopped. Listen to Dick give the details of what's taking place before our very eyes. 

Frank Miniter, New Times Bestselling Author, debunks many gun control myths and explains how responsible gun owners make us all safer. The fact is that since the adoption of "shall-issue" carry permits, violent crime has greatly decreased across the country, despite what people like Nanny Bloomberg says. The statistics don't lie, unlike the many gun control advocates who refuse to honestly debate the issue. 

Bob Ong, a long time Wall Street Insider is concerned about the coming retirement crisis and he's helping people do something about it. Rather than going for Wall Street's conventional retirement strategies, which just aren't going to do the trick for most people, he outlines several ways to get larger returns without adding tons of risk. He says you should be investing in businesses and life insurance settlements. But make sure you do your due diligence. You always need to know exactly what you're investing in, before you write your check. 

J.V. Crum, III joined us today to discuss his work in helping people to discover their purpose, leading them to build a business based upon it. A recent Gallup polled shows that most people derive little or no satisfaction from their work, a situation that J.V. wants to change. The best way to remedy this situation is to find your passion and to start your own business. That's what we've done on FSN and that's what many thousands are doing around the world. 

Chris Vermeulen, TheGoldandOilGuy.com believes that we're getting very close to the bottom in gold and silver. When last we spoke, he said that he thought the weakness in precious metals was pointing to one more low before the trend reversed. Needless to say, Chris was right. Silver broke $18 the ounce yesterday and gold looks like it might break $1200. If that happens, even the most devout gold bulls might go running for the exits, in which case the low will be in and the bull will resume. Sounds logical to us. 

Wayne Allyn Root believes that Obama and his gang is out to destroy America and turn it into another socialist republic. He thinks that if we don't start fighting back soon and get a Republican senate that is willing to fight, the country is finished. So far he sees much evidence that he's right. Look at the border, at the chaos in the Middle East and what's happening in Europe. However, the US has come back before and it can come back again. 

Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute writes about Zombie spending in Washington. Old programs and taxes never die, they Zombify. A tax on long distance which was passed to fund the Spanish American War was finally repealed in 2006. The Rural Electrification Act which was passed during the heights of the Great Depression is still going strong as the Rural Utilities Service. The list goes on and on, but there doesn't seem to be much outrage. Perhaps the Zombies have taken over the Congress too.

Kyle Olson of EAGNews.org was on discussing those pesky new school nutrition standards that are driving Johnny not to eat, in school at least. It seems that Johnny wants potato chips not quinoa or jicama. But that doesn't matter any more. Since the First Lady stuck her nose into matter by helping to get the new Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act passed in 2010, school lunches will never be the same, and neither will bake sales or any other type of food obtained on school grounds. The result has been completely predictable. The kids hate the healthy food and are doing everything they can to avoid it, from brown-bagging it, to going off campus to their favorite fast food outlet. No matter how you figure it, where there's a will, there's an unhealthy food choice to be had.

Jayne D'Alessandro-Cox has written a book about Thomas Jefferson's life from when he was a youth up to age 30. Evidently, in spite of the large number of books written about him, no one ever thought to cover his youner years. While his outstanding achievements didn't happen until later, clearly this was his formative time where his philosophy of invidual rights and freedoms evolved. In addition, he was an accomplished surveyor, doing much work towards helping develop the New World. Ms. D'Alessandro-Cox spent many hours in obscure Virginia libraries, researching her book out, finding details that we all but forgotten over time.

Bruce Anderson is a computer security consultant and works with clients to keep their data and assets safe from hackers. He believes that corporations around the world don't take computer security seriously enough until it's too late. Target and Home Depot are just the latest examples. Many breaches never hit the headlines. Billions of dollars are being lost every year, often needlessly. Corporations need to get serious now or face the consequences.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, we find out that Comrade DeBlasio dropped Groundhog Staten Island Charlotte on her head during the Groundhog Day festivities. A week later she was dead, a victim of internal injuries. Oh the humanity, PETA should be outraged! And the 8 month cover-up that kept this vital information from the public. We'll see if the voters take it out on the mayor in the next election, Lord knows they have so much to take out on him anyway.

Due to DeBlasio's liberal leanings, Stop and Frisk is gone and shootings are way up. Until New York City's residents have the right to defend themselves, they must rely upon the police as they have the monopoly on armed force. 

Finally, we talk about Zombie Government Programs. The kind that have long since outlived their puropse, but can never be struck from the budget. There are thousands of them that cost taxpayers many hundreds of billions every year. 

John writes that U.S. Mint American Eagle gold coin sales set to rise sharply in September. 

(Reuters) – The U.S. Mint has sold nearly 50,000 ounces of American Eagle gold coins so far in September, almost double its total in August, as a sharp pullback in gold prices and geopolitical tensions boosted interest for physical products from retail investors.

With only six business days left until the end of September, sales of American Eagle bullion gold coins made for investors were 46,000 ounces, up 84 percent from August sales of 25,000 ounces, the latest U.S. Mint data showed on Monday.

Record highs in U.S. equities also prompted some retail investors to buy precious metal products to diversify their portfolios, said David Beahm, vice president at New Orleans coin dealer Blanchard & Co.

Jason Burack joined us to discuss his take on the plunging oil prices. He believes that it's part of the US's was on ISIS, payback to the Saudis for their lack of petro-dollar support and an attack on Russia for the Ukraine and their attacks on the dollar as well. He's got more to say about what's going on with precious metals prices and what that's going to do to the miners and it's not pretty. 

MainStreet.com's Nicholas Pell examines an alarming new trend in Identity Theft. Not content with making the living people's lives miserable, identity thieves are going after the recently deceased and children now as never before. While these groups have always been targets, special precautions can be taken to prevent their identities from being misappropriated. Nicholas explains how they do it and how not to be a victim, from the cradle or the grave.
