Posted on by The INO.com Team

“Legalized Plunder – Why we have all been had, fooled and deceived…. and the surprising reason we keep asking for more of the same bad medicine”

Author G Edward Griffin was pilloried from all sides when his book The Creature from Jekyll Island was first published in 1994.

18 years later, when prediction after prediction has come true, and Griffins claim that we are in the middle of enormous changes to society that will affect your lifestyle, your livelihood and your financial wellbeing are playing out every day, people are taking notice.

Last week in his candid video interview with Caseys Research’s Louis James. Griffin talked about the book, his thoughts on the ominous slide towards a totalitarian state and where he feels we are heading. From here on in. Continue reading "Legalized Plunder" →

The Bottom Line on Gold, the Dollar, and the Euro

By Louis James, Casey Research

One of the points we've made several times over the last year is that traders stuck in an old paradigm are frequently selling gold for the wrong reasons.

The most egregious (or just plain silly) example is that gold often drops when the euro drops.

This happens, not because there's anything wrong with gold at such times, but because gold is priced in dollars. Instead of being thought of as a store of value in many investors' minds, gold is viewed as a hedge against weakness in the dollar.

Don Coxe: For the first 17 centuries of the so-called Christian Era, China and India together generated about 40-50% of global gross domestic product (GDP), due to the sheer size of their populations. But when they did not participate in the Industrial Revolution, the relatively small number of people living in Europe and North America were able to take over 70% of global GDP. The East stagnated.
