In part 2 Mike Maloney describes how confidence affects a currency, that the monetary system changes every 40 years and the end of the dollar as it is known today by 2020. He also shows how gold and silver have performed compared with stocks and shares (I think you know the answer to this already :)

[preciousmetalsguy]

In this first part of a two part series, Mike Maloney exposes the forthcoming dollar crisis and deflation. He shows that all the economies trade in the same direction as the US. A US economic problem is now a global problem. Most of us have heard of Zimbabwean hyperinflation, here Mike shows how long it took to take hold (get ready for a surprise!) He touches on how money is created, where the value of a currency comes from and the danger of using debt based currency; hyperinflation. He literally also calls BS on a room full of bankers! Gotta love this guy! Part 2 will follow tomorrow.

OK, so those of us who follow silver “know” that it’s price is manipulated. Here Mike Maloney tells you EXACTLY how it‘s done.

This short video explores the pent up demand for silver in China. Per capita China uses 1/70th of the silver that is used in the United States and globally more silver is being used than mined. Also explained are the reasons why Chinese silver consumption will increase. Guess what the effect on price will be with an increase in silver consumption and without an increase in it’s production?

In my view the prices of precious metals ARE manipulated - silver in particular. They just do not reflect the physical demand for them; it is the derivative (paper) trading e.g. ETFs such as GLD and SLV that have a major effect on their prices (along with the Central Banks) Will silver reach $936 an ounce? Watch the video for some food for thought...

Published on 25 Jul 2014 For those who “know” that silver is good to stack, this video explains some of the reasons “why”. It goes into the fundamentals of silver supply and demand (in an understable non-technical way) and why it is so cheap (really) right now. It’s well worth a watch...you may be surprised at what you learn. I was....:)

How to make $91 billion out of thin air

Last week, the Federal Reserve announced that it earned $91 billion in 2012. How? By reaping yields off the government bonds that it used fictional money to purchase. It sounds like something that would be a crime if anyone besides a government-sanctioned monetary cartel was doing it.

Nonetheless, it’s what US banks do everyday. They borrow money from Federal Reserve at near-zero percent interest rates, then lend it out to saps like us for mortgages. Note to self: that old saying “it takes money to make money” doesn’t mean much when you control the printing presses.
