An interesting lecture by DiLorenzo on US democracy and cronyism.



DiLorenzo has also written damning books on Lincoln, and the Indian genocide.

Peter Schiff On Obamanomics: "Not Enough Open Minds In The Capitol To Keep This Ship From Sinking"


Zero Hedge
Sept 20, 2011

Peter Schiff wraps his congressional testimony on the Obama jobs plan, which was one of the most memorable such Congressional hearings on the topic to date, with the following letter of caution to all Americans. To wit: "I don't think those few open minds in the Capitol are going to be enough to keep this ship from sinking. There just isn't enough time or a strong enough will for reform from the American people. That is why it is so important for you to act individually to protect yourself and your family from the new age of stagflation. Please take the time to view my testimony, understand the problems we face, and align your investments accordingly." We urge anyone who has not watched Peter's testimony yet to do so below.

She's right, he's a very approachable and friendly man. We could do with a link to the interview.

Farmer jailed in Hong Kong for burning flag



Burning the flag was made illegal in Hong Kong when it returned to China


A man has been jailed in Hong Kong for burning the national flag, in the first sentence of its kind.

Zhu Rongchang, 74, a farmer from mainland China, was sentenced to three weeks in prison over the 22 July incident.

He had denied the charge, saying he was exercising his right to free speech.

He burned the flag in Golden Bauhinia Square in central Hong Kong, in what he said was a protest against the government in Beijing.

Mr Zhu is the third person to be charged under the flag-burning law, which came into effect in 1997 when Hong Kong was returned to China, and the first to be jailed.

According to the South China Morning Post, Magistrate Jason Wan Siu-ming said that while freedom of speech was a universal value "pursued by all people", every freedom was restricted "in some way".

"No freedom comes without restrictions. I can appreciate the defendant's trail of thoughts but his way of expression breached the Hong Kong laws and therefore he is guilty," the newspaper quoted him as saying.

Seems that anyone who makes good calls faces someones wrath or bitterness.
I was in two minds whether to post this one as I don't like it, but in the interests of being vaguely 'balanced and fair' here it is.
I don't think this is a fair, balanced or an accurate appraisal of Rogers. Chapman does himself no favours here, these are 'personal' issues he has with the man, not valid criticism.

Rogers may well be 'an insider', and so what if he is? He got to the top of his field, it's what he did latter that matters. He's an insider who who says it as it is in the public domain, that puts him firmly on 'our side', remember when it comes down to it this is an information war. Rogers track record speaks for itself.

Nobody is perfect, Jones certainly has his issues, Keiser can be totally ott too, however when you look at some of 'the competition' the smell of bilge can be overpowering, check out these fools. You can see that this shower haven't ever owned a gram of precious metals in their lives.
Too bad as it has been the best performing asset in the last decade averaging about 22% per annum.

We are entering a period of shortages which are going to get worse.

Jim Rogers : As you know, I think everyone should learn about real assets. We're entering a period of shortages which are going to get worse. And even if they don't get worse, the governments are going to print money if the economies don't get better. So the best place for most people's money is in real assets. It's like the 1970s again. Stock markets and economies around the world were very bad in those 15 years or so. And yet commodities had one of the greatest bull markets of all time. You didn't make much money in stocks unless you were in very selective stocks. - in Daily Crux

Keep your assets outside of your own country
Jim Rogers : There's going to be much more social unrest, including in the U.S. Everyone has a fire insurance policy or medical insurance policy. They hope they never use these policies, but they have them. If you begin to look at your life and investments and finances in the same way, you see having some of your assets outside your own country – no matter which country that is – is a smart insurance policy, and perhaps a way to make a lot of money. - in Daily Crux

Learn how to sell short

Jim Rogers :.... I would also urge everyone to learn how to sell short. If you don't want to do that, at least learn about currencies. You don't want to keep all your money in cash in difficult times. A lot of people put all their money into Icelandic krona and thought they were fine. Of course, we know Iceland went bankrupt and the krona collapsed. So be sure you learn something about currencies, because keeping all your money in cash could be a disaster. For younger readers, I would suggest you work to learn foreign languages, preferably Chinese or at least an Asian language. I see finance as continuing to go into decline... It's going to be a very, very depressed area of the world economy for years to come. All those people thinking about getting an MBA – unless they're truly passionate about finance – should look at some of the other area, of the world economy where they're going to have much better outlooks. But even then – as I make clear in my book – they shouldn't go into something unless they really love it. - in Daily Crux
