"I Am Jim Rogers And I Support Ron Paul"
Ron Paul has another illustrious supporter - Jim Rogers. The Quantum fund co-founder, who has been spot on about pretty much everything for the past 3 years (see Roubini Versus Rogers Is Right Debate for 2010: Investor Jim Rogers thinks gold will double to at least $2,000 an ounce. Economist Nouriel Roubini says that’s “utter nonsense.” As these well-known market personalities duke it out, they’re doing us a favor by highlighting a critical debate: Which is the bigger threat -- inflation or deflation?), not to mention gold (to the amusement of such Keynesian soundbites recorded for posterity as the following: "Maybe it will reach $1,100 or so but $1,500 or $2,000 is nonsense"), and especially inflation (perhaps the only thing that will prompt a chuckle out of Gadaffi and Mubarak these days is someone telling them that their multi-decade reigns are over due to hyperdeflation and plunging food prices), was caught on tape voicing his endorsement of the only sane person who can possibly do something for this country. "In this election if Ron Paul gets anywhere near the nomination I would certainly support him. He is the only one that I've seen in American politics that seems to have a clue about what's going on." Zero Hedge agrees on all counts.

canot trust someone who has bow ties.
I'd take bow ties over Bo-tox.
"Or" was a partner with demon George Soros.
Ron Paul is against community. Programs like FEMA. Get your ass kicked, it was God's will.
You hate my community and wish us all dead.
My community is hurt when we have to unwillingly give away the money we saved to repair our family homes so that people who knowingly purchased property in fire and flood prone areas can get bailed out.
Why should my neighbors' children remain in need so that you don't have to perform due diligence on your real estate purchases?
Huh?
Could you say a little more about what you mean? I think he is very much about localization and community. I am a storm survivor. My neighbors were awesome. I will always remember it and look forward to the day, if needed, I can have their back in return.
Gratitude, Bitchez.
HAHA - yeah, he's a retired medical doctor, I'm sure he justs hates people YOU MORON. Go fuck yourself and stay on Huffpo instead of here.
We should all be grateful collapse of the trans-Atlantic banking system will not be postponed until sometime after the Republican party's nominating convention. So, there will be plenty of opportunity to see Ron Paul, policy-wise, is an isolated figure with little chance of building consensus in Congress capable of immediately remediating the chaos about to sweep the globe.
An urbanized, better connected electorate will not much longer tolerate any response from a federal government willfully weakening its voracity as promoter and defender of American principles. These are the final days of influence of the very tyrannical principle against which the American Revolution was fought and a power-giving Constitution won.
Ron Paul is correct in attacking contemporary arrangements compromising American principles. Yet policy-wise he is inept: unfit for the moment. If it were 1988, he might have hope of being nominated. But in 2011 he has no shot.
The Republican party will find a Lincoln pushing a greenbacks policy undercutting -- yet easily presented as the only hope of bolstering -- today's thoroughly bankrupt financial system. This candidate's credit policy will be directed toward investments in the national economy -- the likes sure to pay for themselves many times over. The challenge will be whether these will as well serve the many as they do the few. The answer will lie in how thoroughly today's corrupt servants of tyranny are rooted out and punished.
Greenspan and Bernanke should be first to go with an intention being they share a cell with Madoff. On this count Ron Paul is better thought an ally in Congress rather than capable of leading the charge. By all accounts, too, he has not shown himself willing to root out crime in the private sector, which is abundantly necessary if the purpose of all investment -- public and private -- is to serve the many as well as the few.
America needs to learn how to fall and then rise up again. Giving steroids to sustaiñ weak legs isn't gonna work. Let it fall, only then it will bounce back. Sometimes, you have to suck it up and cope with it.
I'll be supporting Ron Paul in the Iowa caucus. Good to hear Jim Roger's weigh in. I always enjoy listening to his interviews. When Warren Buffet goes on CNBC I throw shit at the TV and yell. When Jim Roger's comes on Bloomberg I sit up straight and get real quiet so I can hear everything he says. I made myself rich listening to him on palladium and silver...I probably would have bought most of it without him but he helped me have the conviction to double down. Thanks Jim!
Tyler, seems like every time Ron Paul is mentioned, the trolls show up in force.
Ron Paul wants to end the War on Drugs. Jah love, mon.
Ron Paul end War on Drugs. Jah love, mon.
Ron Paul end War on Truth. Jah love, mon.
Ron Paul end War on Love. Jah love, mon.
Jah love. Jah love.
Anyone else think Dr. Paul wouldn't make it through his first year? Assuming he attempted to go through with the policies he says he would implement.

Ron Paul is on fire. Must see this video. You pay attention to this and Ron Paul can be elected.

that is a great interview, I am going to post that on this really, horrible progressive site right now, they are saying Ron Paul is heartless because he doesn't worship at the entitlement alter.
Living through a currency devaluation and how to cope
I was managing an American subsidiary of a successful large US Company in Mexico. It had been a financial turnaround for our team. Cash flow had accumulated in our bank in Mexico and corporate didn’t want the money repatriated to the US. Although we had already paid a 35% income tax to the Mexican government, we would have to pay an additional 30% exit tax to repatriate the money. In addition, we would have to pay high fees for the peso/dollar exchange, in order to make the transfer. The company wanted to expand our successful business and so we decided to keep the money in Mexican pesos to be used for further expansion.
One morning, as my wife and I were on a trip driving on the highway, we heard a national message from the President of Mexico in 1976, Luis Echevarria, one of the most corrupt presidents in Mexican history. “It is a lie that we are going to devalue the peso,” he said.

Judging by the idiotic trolls popping up whenever RP is mentioned, seems to me he's the right man for the job. Anti-community......WTF? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA what a lameass attack........must have got bored with that he's pro-life and stuff.......
Dear Mr. Rogers,
Greetings from Central Alabama and the heart of the Blackbelt (no, outsiders, it's not a racially pejorative term -- it's descriptive of the rich and loamy soil).
On the off-chance this finds its way to your computer monitor all the way over in far-flung singapore, i'd like to say thanks for lashing the chattering classes with your gentle words of wisdom. i follow most everything you say; and well i should -- it's nice to know there's hope for us country boys.
if you're ever in the area, just swing on by and make yourself at home -- we keep the biscuits fresh and the gravy hot...football kicks off thursday night.
ps. i will be in demopolis in the very near, and i fully intend on asking after the Rogers family. we'll see what your kin have been up to; and i'll get started on a Jim Rogers anecdote collection.
hear that lonesome whupperwill/
she sounds too blue to fly/
that midnight train is whining low,
janus
There's some good folks in Alabama:
http://mises.org/about.aspx
what in the holy hell is going on?
crockett, thanks a ton. i confess i'm a bit befuddled/stunned...sometimes in life there's coincidence, and then there's a long series of independently occuring coincidencies all pulling for the same end -- seems it's Providence.
i mean to say, i backed away from here for a week to evaluate my errors in analysis and, in general, to get some seperation from the noise...i need total quiet when it comes to synthesizing the big ideas. and during that time i began to worry that i'd been too dismissive of theory. so with that in mind, i reckoned i'd investigate some of the leading schools and evaluate which one best conformed to my own way of seeing things (since i've set myself to learn this stuff, that is). so far, the mises school is a clear leader -- in so far as it's the only one that traffics in clarity at all...and for janus, clarity is a highly prized currency.
i'm sure i'll never be a doctrinaire vonmisite, but i figure i can steal everything he has worth stealing.
it's a shame the place is so close and so impossibly far off: janus was NEVER welcomed in ANY academic environment whatsoever. it seems i don't ask the right kinds of questions; and i've been told i do the wrong kind of critical thinking.
all for the best i suppose, it's like they say, 'those who can't, teach.' and so they do...or don't, as it were.
all the same, maybe i'll charm my way into the library. as long as i can keep conversation with teachers trite and superficial, i'm in like flynn....thanks again.
BTW, crockett, i grew up with the direct descendant of davy crockett; and his name, if you can believe it, was davy crockett VI (no shit)...if that's you, i'll let you know who i am in some clever fashion.
Glad you like Mises. I'm sure that the folks at the Institute welcome all who seek knowledge and act courteously.
I'm not related to Davy Crockett, my handle refers to a penny press publication from the 1840s which featured fictionalized accounts of Crockett's adventures. Like many other "low brow" endeavors (such as the plays of Shakespeare) it had an influence on the events and literature of its time. The motto of the Crockett Almanac was "Be sure you're right then go ahead." I've made that motto my own.
Peace.
you know, that's just the thing. i know i'm a bit of an ass around here; but mother raised me to abide the tenants of emily post, and so i believe firmly in civility, manners and graciousness. that being said, i never went into any class-room situation with a combative aim in mind --just a curious mind. i do, however, like to stay engaged; and if i have a question about the subject matter, i don't think a professsor should take it as a challenge to his august fucking dignity. yes, i ask difficult questions, i can dissolve the easy ones on my own; and phd or no, a wo/man should have enough dignity to just say, 'i don't know'.
because then, this happens: (s)he interprets me as a threat, and then attempts to neutralize the threat (lil ole janus) with banal insults and the like. well, i don't know how much you can divine of my nature just reading a few posts, but it's fair to say that i don't deal lightly with attack...and since we've then moved out of his/her area of expertise (acedemia) and into my own (the Hippodrome), they inevitably get their ass shredded. i really do feel badly about it, but i meet all men at eye level; any who expect me to make obesience are soon disappointed...or worse.
that being said, i'll cruise down there later this week (it's only 30 miles or so) and dip the ole toe in the water...see if it's one of those ossified soul-snuffing sausage factories they call a 'university', or if, perchance, there's a genuine place of learning left in this world -- but i'm old enough to not get my hopes up.
i like your motto.
the crockett family are salt of the earth.
funny thing is, a few months ago i was on course to be in med school at exactly this time next year (doin a bit of a career change in mid-stream -- had to sell a business). now instead of helpin baby-boomers ease through their golden years in spendid health, i'll be doin all i can to siphon off their ill-begotten wealth. i have no interest in accruing a stupendous fortune for the sake of accruing stupendous fortune -- this is about revenge! it's nothing but building an arsenal. my generation, and my class designation specifically, has been betrayed...i figured out what you did to me before i was even me, america (boomers, i'm lookin right at YOU); and now i intend to make you pay seven-fold.
i'm a comin, and i'm brining hell with me,
janus
Sounds like you're basically on the right track. But the Rebel Without a Cause shtick will cause you far more problems than it will solve. I speak from personal experience.
First off, the rebellious pose is usually a sign that TPTB have made one feel marginalized or worthless. No one is worthless and the more one pursues one's own identity and interests the more valuable one becomes to oneself and to others. Be proud of your iconoclastic nature but accept that you and those with whom you interact will benefit more from your out of the box thinking if you propose new ideas at a reasonable pace and with the temperament of a teacher rather than that of a rebel.
In the case of humor, however, all bets are off. Anything for a laugh, I always say.
it's difficult for me to convey the natue of my experience. i'm actually not a rebel. i believe in order, in disipline, in morality, in honor, in integrity, and above all in duty. in the last two year of my life, i've come to realize their futility in the face of the overwhelming wickedness that pervades this world. i'm no saint; don't get me wrong. but what you're reading from janus is not a complete picture. you can take me at my word on this, or don't, but i do know how to follow orders to the letter. i show respect and courtesy to both office and age. and i basically follow the rules.
my acedemic career is free of trouble and rebellion. the problem is something very odd; and i don't claim to know what it is. i have had a few professors who invested an inordinate amount of attention in me -- and it went a long way to help ease the confusion -- but they were definitely in the minority. in fact, i've had three seperate professors force me to withdraw from a class, not because i broke any rule, not because i was disruptive, but becaue i had a "negative" influence on the class, another said i was making an effort to "unnerve" her, and another made up lies and ended up getting herself into trouble trying to ruin me...now all three of these situation were after an agreement wherein i would be totally silent and only take notes -- they just refused to bear even my presence.
and, reallly, the more that i think about it, the more i fume about just how craven and obedient i've been my whole fucking life, the more i sit and stew over your (admittedly well-intentioned) advice, the more i really...it seems that they've been doing all they can to destroy me from the beginning. so what if i'm not naturally some mild, milktose prissy boy. so, fuck them all. i'd sooner see every last one of them rot in hell than pursue another degree -- my apologies to the one percent of you 'teachers' who are worth something to this world.
wow, thank you for reminding me of all that miserable pain -- stretching all the way back to kindergarten. i try not to dwell on things, but it's all comin back now: all the base insults from 'adults' so they could exercize their insecurities on a child. the perverse cruelty of teacher after teacher after teacher mocking you for hazarding an unorthodox idea (not rebellious, just different) or just in general trying to run your self-esteem into the ground...all the while elevating the retards, incompetents, and fuckwads! God forbid we let a young man be confident when he has reason to be...oh no! we only allow imbeciles to indulge at the well of self-esteem -- for the rest of us, we must be satisfied with meekness, humility and a downtrodden spirit (wouldn't want to remind the weak of their weakness) i better leave this be; i feel such fury swelling in me right now.
and to clear up one final thing: though i usually do intend quite a bit of humor in my posts, this post and the one above it are free of all humor.
i'm sure they're just dandy folks and all at mises, but on second thought, i think i'll pass -- my best friends and true teachers are all dead, but fortunately they are all still in print.
sometimes, america, i just want to take you by the scruff of your neck and bash your head into a ball of goo.
HEY, TEACHER, LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE!,

For those of you proposing that gold will go to zero if this or that happens...
What will undoubtedly happen is that gold will go to zero when the G20 nations (realizing that their fiat game is up) publically announce that Fukushima's 3 nuclear meltdowns are endangering all the earth's life and only GOLD can be used to seal up the radioactive threat. All gold will be forceably confiscated and "used" to seal the radioactive materials...
There you have it! "All the gold" in the world is irradiated for 10,000 years and unuseable.
Ron Paul has said that he would like to see competing currencies, as a way to phase out the Fed and irredeemable paper currency. So it is not gold that would go to zero, rather it is the USD that would go to zero as people quit accepting it as payment for goods and services. The whole debt based monetary system, that does nothing but make slaves of us all, would go away. How can that not be a good thing? Is anyone else proposing this type of monetary reform? The answer is of coarse NO. Therefore, a vote for anyone else is a vote for the status quo, a monetary system built by Bankers and the financial elite for their own benifit and your enslavement.
Jim Rogers, Treasury Secretary!
Who the fuck are these trolls ramboy (kid) an koaj.
Fuck off you pieces of feces.
Probably bankers, or people working for someone else's campaign. Most campaigns have paid trolls that are out on the internet spreading filth about opposing candidates. Ron Paul is a threat to many powerful players that get rich suckling the system.
He...(the troll) Ramboy,calls himself "Ramboy".cause he loves being rammed up the ass...boy....and loves it.
Fuck Off troll.
When have you posted anything beyond calling people troll, TROLL?
It's simple. Look at the list of presidential candidates. If you have half a brain and are not part of the machine, then Ron Paul is the only answer. Yeah, he's not perfect (he/she who is without sin, cast your stones now), but he is FRACKING light years ahead of the rest. RON PAUL 2012 TELL SOMEONE ELSE ABOUT HIM, DO YOUR PORTION, JERRY.
amazed and befuddled still am i
crocketttalmanac.com , one of the true believers, tells me to buy bank stock. i dont own stock and have no inkling to do so, thanks cockneck. so if anyone else can tell me how they expect RP to get elected, THEN legalize drugs? .........abolish the fed?..........lots of you people think he would actually go in there and abolish the FED?....or turn it around, paint it magenta, get the 'rascals' out?.......??......honestann says im dumber than a rock for thinkng he wouldnt change things. Dick Fitz says.....Crevass- I guess you were educated in a gubmint school, because I couldn't make heads nor tails of your post, but I think the gist is that you think RP is going to give up 30 years of saying the same thing- end the wars, restore civil liberty, stabilize the dollar- and turn into a bankster tool as soon as he is inaugurated?
HEY! Head Fitz! heads and tails says; to be inaugurated, your brownstar is a universal adaptor to fit whatever tool die they need at the moment. need reference? see americant history. my gubmint schooling, HAR! seems you need to get a dab of it yerself.
i dont care if he had end the wars tatooed on his schlong at birth
end the wars? are you serious?
restore civil liberty? (WHEN did we have that by the bye) are you really serious?
this is what im talking about. this is the same spew people were saying about the tool in office now, but this guys gonna be different?
vot on brothers and sisters. vote on
Same chocolate starfishes...different tool.
Clearly I was right, you are dumber than a rock. Either that, or you're pretending to be. If RonPaul is elected, and brings the troops home, we all invite you to eat dog poopoo on national TV to apologize for your overt and almost certainly intentional stupidity.
Anyone who makes any statement like "when did we have civil liberty" deserves to spend the rest of their lives in a cage (as in "prision"). Since you do not have "civil liberty" now, and you do not have "civil liberty" in a cage/prison, you won't mind one bit. In fact, maybe that's where you're writing your messages from... and you like it there. Anyone who points out (correctly, of course) that we never had "perfect civil liberty" is trying to say "there was no such thing, there is no such thing, so there is no reason to want to live in a world where the violations of civil liberty are less frequent and less egregious".
Only someone [pretending to be] dumber than a rock says these kinds of things. Probably you are an apologist for the predators-that-be and predator-class, which means you are a wanna-be predator or already a small-time predator, and enjoy your evil ways. Either way, you belong in that cage. After a few decades, we'll open the door momentarily and ask whether the only difference worth mentioning is "absolute, complete, utter civil liberty" or "zip, zero, nada, none-at-all). Your answer will be instructive... if you live that long.
Sure, no politican is "the answer", including Ron Paul. The answer is "the end of ALL politicians and ALL government". Lacking that, a less egregiously predatory government is an improvement, and people like you are definitely no freaking help whatsoever. I'd be willing to bet you are a predator of some kind. You certainly have the attitude of one.
Did Rogers move to Singapore?
Upcoming US presidential elections-On the Edge with Max keiser-08-26-2011
From: PressTVGlobalNews | Aug 27, 2011 | 6,691 views Loading... http://www.presstv.com/Program/196021.htmlIn this edition of On the Edge, Max Keiser interviews Alex Jones from infowars.com.
He talks about Ron Paul's bid for 2012 presidential elections.
THE ANSWER TO WHY GOLD WAS CONSIDERED AS MONEY AND MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE OVER OTHER METALS, OR FORM OF CURRENCY WAS FOR THE TWO MAIN REASON
- RARITY ( SO NO EASY PRINTING OR MINING OF GOLD , THUS VERY DIFFICULT FOR GOVERNMENT TO DEVALUE YOUR WEALTH)
- LONGETIVITY -> GOLD IS PROBABLY THE ONLY ELEMENT WHICH ONCE MINED DOES NOT DECAY, DECOMPOSE OR GET DESTROYED.. GOLD THROWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PACIFIC OR IN THE DEPTH OF THE MOST ACTIVE VOLCANO STILL RETAINS ITS PROPERTY (I.E GOLD REMAINS GOLD FOREVER)
