Thank you for caring enough about the future of the Silver Bear Cafe Hi, and welcome to my shameless "beg for donations" page. I started the Silver Bear Cafe in 2002, soon after my wife's retirement account took a vicious hit, as a result of the bursting of the "DotCom" bubble. I thought that, through some diligent research, I might understand and explain the causes of her losses. It just didn't seem natural that a bubble of such magnitude could have been allowed to inflate. In fact, I suspected that there was "funny business" going on that brought about her losses. I went about initiating a "follow the money campaign" to see if I could, at least, steer her investments on to a less vulnerable path. As a result, the first few years, "the Bear" was concerned with issues of finance and an attempt to gain a greater understanding of markets, worldwide. I was solely concerned with seeking out the wisdom of tenured pundits whose insights could provide our readership with an investment road map, so to speak. As the site progressively gained popularity, my research became more and more fruitful. That success turned out to be a mixed blessing. "The Bear" has, over the years, altered direction, editorially speaking. I have discovered and uncovered wide spread corruption in banking and politics which accounted for and continues to account for the siphoning off of trillions of dollars by a whole slew of bad guys. What started out as an apolitical exercise has morphed into a highly political commentary. That is because the markets and economy have been hijacked by some malevolent, self absorbed maniacs. The downside has become an ever growing lack of good news. There is so much bad happening, that is the direct result of felonious activities by the criminal minions, that it is hard to find any redemption in my daily travails. Essentially, I am saying that, over the years, my tone has changed. My helpful advice has evolved into a daily wake up call. The state of the economy, and the Union for that matter, has become so dire, that I feel the need to shout out warnings, as loudly as I can, constantly. I have found myself changing from a mild mannered conservative economics buff, into a would be champion of the Liberty Movement in America, because, in my opinion, those of us that are willing to fight for our individual liberties constitute the only line of defence when attempting to ensure that our American way of life endures. As my tone has grown harder, I have, apparently, chased off a faction of readers who would rather not consider the possibility that we are being, summarily, driven off a metaphoric cliff. So I need, once again, to entreat your support. In order to cover the expenses that I incur on an ongoing basis, I need your help. If you would like me to continue to bring you news and commentary that might help you to prepare for what is about to happen, make a donation. Your generosity will insure that the Silver Bear Cafe will continue to continue. Its not what you don't know that will screw you up, it's what you know that is wrong. The spin you hear from the mainstream media is intended to mislead you. Open your eyes and face the future. If you leave your head in the sand and ignore it, you are only leaving your butt exposed for the world to kick. This all may sound like gloom and doom, but when you get a handle on what is going to happen, you will have a future filled with opportunity. Fortune favors the Informed.
