Standard & Poors Slashes Russian Credit to Junk, but Why?
Submitted by Sprott Money on 02/12/2015 12:17 -0500The Russian economy continues to suffer. The absolute desolation of the oil market effectively destroyed the economy in Russia, which is incredibly dependent on the commodity.

Greece Says ‘No’ To Fake Bail-Outs
Submitted by Sprott Money on 02/11/2015 12:17 -0500With a sane (and apparently honest/legitimate) government achieving election in Greece, the past six years of European “bail-out” fraud is about to be fully exposed.

Silver and Gold Truth Versus Fiat Lies
Submitted by Sprott Money on 02/10/2015 16:45 -0500The Jefferson Airplane sang about truth and lies nearly 50 years ago.
“When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies…”
