Want to know how to keep internet access when your government shuts it down? Then read this article from Patrick Miller and David Daw.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the IMF's chief, bluntly called for worsening conditions worldwide and a deepening global economic crisis: "We could see rising social and political instability within nations – even war," he said. As the chief of one of the "world banks", when does identifying a problem you helped create absolve you from blame and its eventual repercussions?

The proper decision now regarding your child's education may be the difference in whether you set your child up for a life of failure or a life of success. Yes I really do believe that the decision on whether to send your child to university now or to forgo that traditional route is a “make or break your child’s life" type of decision.

You may feel that this is an odd time to write a piece about one of the riskiest sectors in the precious metal investment class, especially as gold and silver prices continue to plummet in the futures markets but the proper time to buy, of course, is when fear is high and prices are low.

One of F. William Engdahl’s latest articles is titled “Wikileaks, a Big Dangerous US Government Con Job”. In this article, Engdahl implies that Wikileaks is a US government-run propaganda operation with an end goal of restricting freedoms on the internet. Here are some of the key excerpts from this article.

On December 7, 2009, I sent out a warning from our Managing Director, JS Kim, to thousands of people via email about the deterioration of the global economy that he had discussed for years that the great majority of people were ignoring. Here is my latest interview with Mr. Kim that updates his views on his central thesis about a burgeoning economic disaster in the US.

Recent news this week again proves that bankers are among the largest charlatans in the universe. First Jim Rickards reported that a Swiss bank refused to deliver roughly $40 million of gold bullion to a wealthy client for 30 days. Then James Turk reported that another Swiss bank still has not delivered $550,000 of silver to one of its clients demanding physical delivery for two months now and has repeatedly tried to convince the client to accept the cash value of the silver instead.

The American Dream is dead, and we are responsible. Yes, I know what you are thinking. How can I possible say this when corrupt politicians and even more corrupt bankers are responsible for killing the American Dream? Of course I acknowledge this fact, but without our willing, gleefully ignorant participation in their “Death Race to the Bottom 2014” game, the death of the American Dream would not be possible.

Folker Hellmeyer, the chief analyst with the Bremer Landesbank, gives an exclusive interview to chaostheorien.de on his take on the global currency wars and China's role in the global economy moving forward.

QE explained in such a brilliantly simplistic manner that even asleep-at-the-wheel Americans whose lives revolve around the NFL team they call god can understand what it is.

In the last segment of the "Conspiracy Theory" TV show, Jesse Ventura, former Minnesota governor, takes on the boys at Goldman Sachs. As he leaves the room, he tells them, "And I'll keep fighting for the little guy and kick your asses." Enough said. Rock on Jesse.

Back on May 17, 2010, I granted an interview to Lars Schall of MMNews Germany, in which I stated, “if U.S. regulators stepped in and said Goldman Sachs, HSBC and JPMorgan couldn’t participate in the gold and silver futures market for three weeks, I really think you would see the gold and silver price more than double in that time.” The last seven trading days in the silver markets, in which the price of silver has risen 11.93%, has provided a window into just how much Central Banks and their puppet bullion banks have suppressed gold and silver prices over the past decade.

Far too many people equate the pursuit of advanced educational degrees with intelligence and an increased likelihood of success. I know this is conventional thinking, but I highly disagree with this theorem. As an entrepreneur, it is my sincere belief that the much safer route for young adults to seek during the next decade will be realized through the entrepreneurial pathway versus the traditional pathway of “climbing the corporate ladder”. This means skipping the traditional business academic process may become in vogue in future years.

Recently, in regard to the banker silver manipulation schemes, the CFTC's Mr. Chilton’s stated, “Under existing law, to prove manipulation, the government is required to demonstrate not only specific intent; we also need to prove that as a result of the intent and market control, that activity caused an artificial price.” I believe that the huge pricing anamolies in gold markets that existed on a regular basis during July, August, September of 2008 and that still occur today between the futures markets in Asia and those in London/New York intraday, as well as the significant anomalies between gold pricing in the futures markets and gold pricing in the physical markets is proof that the bankers’ price suppression schemes against gold create an artificial price.

I have maintained for several years now that bankers invented the SLV and GLD ETFs as part of their overall price suppression schemes enacted against gold and silver. Can we now leverage CFTC’s Bart Chilton’s recent allegations of silver manipulation to spur the SEC's heretofore immovable Chairman Mary Shapiro to action and investigate possible fraud in the GLD and SLV by the bankers?
