JM: Yes. I work for a lot of big media organizations, and I'm dumfounded at the wars I see when I walk into some of their offices. And these are people who are telling us what's going on in the world! When you see it on that level, it's easier to take the news a lot less seriously. It's just one...

Hi nononsense Tolle’s books are not religious texts, nor does he say anything new to what others have said before him, he just gives a good set of pointers on approaching life that I found helpful, but you may not. Having an intellectual discussion on his teachings is pointless, for it is...

Proof? If you wait for someone to knock on your door with all the proof that you need you will die like 99% of the people out there: with your eyes closed and in a state of anxiety. To reiterate, I agree with your views on the church, and can also see now why you hold the views that you do...

Sure, oxygenating your system through jogging as you do would be a great way of clearing your mind and lifting your spirit.

I do not know much about Art Bell at all, so did not say anything about him. As for the review that you highlighted, you must have pissed a lot of money up against the wall over the years on dud books if you follow reviews. You obviously carefully sifted through the reviews and selected one that...

I think he has looked at that school of economics and rejected it. He has also looked at money supply growth and replaced it with his notions on inflation targeting, which is a term I find amusing. He appears to only take money supply into account if it is falling, which will never happen for...

Sorry paperboy, I just saw your post. With the exception of recent days I do not visit ET that often, but I’m surprised you made the post less than a month ago – it feels like 3 months when I posted to this thread, and I’m amazed the thread even lasted longer than a few days. Malachi...

Sure, without the gold standard a loss in purchasing power is almost assured because the government and the Fed, being the first to spend the newly created money, benefit most from debasement. Savers as you would expect are the ones that are hurt the most by the process, but in the US most...

I suggest that you use Google to find the answers that you ask of me. I just keyed in ‘Bernanke Arrogance’ and got 10 pages of it – seems like many others see him that way as well. Here is the first one that appeared on the search – you can call up the rest...

After reading some of the earlier posts, I think you guys are too kind when it comes to Bernanke. I’m expecting Bernanke to be a much bigger disaster than Greenspan could ever have been. One need only read Greenspan’s essay, Gold and Economic Freedom, to see that the guy at some stage at...

99% of people must really be brain washed in this country – forget about war ppl. Unless we are dealing with true aggression like Nazi Germany it serves no purpose and costs us all dearly in the end. Iraq, just like Iran today, was never a treat to the US, there were no WMD, it was all...

That may be so, but what is the amount of debt on Guangdong Development Bank's books that they are taking over? I think Barings Bank was sold for just 1 pound after the Nick Leeson debacle.

GlobalFinancier Maybe I should have clarified my statement further. I was referring to the Governments of China and primarily Japan (the biggest buyer) being stupid because I expect that they will lose big time on their investments in US debt instruments in the years ahead. If you don’t...

TGregg IMHO the goal of the Chinese was not primarily to profit on their US bond purchases but rather to support the US dollar and in turn underpin their industrial expansion. Once the US has exported the bulk of its industrial base to them and consumers in China and the rest of the world are...

Studyandtrade You will find the answer to your question if you have a close look at the expansion in the US money supply over the years (do a google search) and consider how much further the US dollar will drop once Bernanke starts printing money in earnest to avert a downturn in the US...

It is interesting to see how people are so quick to pass judgment on Buffet without making any effort to understand his motives. I guess putting Buffet down makes many people feel good and that much more important. It’s also funny to see Buffet being labeled a loser on his currency play when...

Aiming to be the best at anything (which is totally different from doing your best) reeks of ego and often leads to disappointment and ultimate demise. Having thoughts in your head of being the best saps you of vital energy and blinds you to many opportunities that are present. Another way of...

Before anyone seriously considers getting involved in Magick they should also listen to this interview with Malachi Martin www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2002/12/17.html That interview should give one a good idea of the forces that they may encounter in their quest. Best to know what you may...

Over the long-term it is not really a choice between monetization and catastrophic debt-induced depression, for monetization, depending on its degree will eventually lead to a catastrophic debt-induced depression. Inflation begets deflation is an old economic adage that you surely must have come...
