Mac Slavo February 22nd, 2015 SHTFplan.com With the Federal Reserve printing trillions upon trillions of dollars to keep the economic system afloat, many investors and financial pundits have surmised that the fundamental economic problems facing the United States during the crash of 2008 have been resolved.

The Latest Country to Defy the Banksters – Will a Stampede Eventually Follow?
Resistance to Banker Rule Spreads As we’ve discussed before, the bankers have need of keeping the dream of Eurasia from becoming a reality.

Derivatives: The $563-Trillion Reason to Look at Gold
By Moe Zulfiqar BAS • Thursday, February 19, 2015 Interest rates in the U.S. economy have been remarkably low since 2007. We’re now hearing many analysts and pundits suggesting they will rise sometime this year. Unfortunately, there isn’t an exact time given, but when we look to the Federal Reserve, it seems very adamant about it, too. Officials at the Federal Reserve are continuously[...]
Hyperinflation To Start in 2015: Economist Says Get Supplies : “Gold, Silver, Canned Goods, Toilet Paper, Bottled Water…”
Mac Slavo February 19th, 2015 It’s impossible to predict when and how our economy will finally reach a breaking point, but according to contrarian Shadow Stats economist John Williams it’s coming one way or the other. The only thing we can do now is to prepare for it and that means stockpiling critical supplies, just like you might for an earthquake or snowstorm, but in larger[...]
How Germany Is Blowing Up The European Union
As Germany is set to reject a Greek loan extension request (and no, international press, that is not the same as an extension of the bailout program), Steve Keen uses proprietary numbers issued by the OECD – which is supposed to be on Germany’s side?! – to show how dramatically austerity has failed in Europe- that is, if the recovery of the Greek and Spanish economies was ever the real[...]
Why Gold is a Better Bet than Oil – Especially for the Next 5 Years – MarketWatch
By Cody Willard I've been saying for a while now that I don't see any reason to try to game a bottom, or any type of trade for that matter, in oil/energy. We've made a lot of money and avoided a lot of heartache over the years sticking with our strategies.

Back in 2013, The NSA was first exposed for secretly 'monitoring' the SWIFT payments flows. This appears to have been among the last straws for Russia (and others) as far as both NSA spying and dollar domination.

Why The Price Of Oil Is More Likely To Fall To $20 Rather Than Rise To $80
By Michael Snyder, on February 15th, 2015 This is just the beginning of the oil crisis. Over the past couple of weeks, the price of U.S. oil has rallied back above 50 dollars a barrel. In fact, as I write this, it is sitting at $52.93. But this rally will not last. In fact, analysts at the big banks are warning that we could soon see U.S. oil hit the $20 mark. The reason for this is that the[...]
