The outlook was bleak. The banks all seemed to be failing, stocks had crashed, housing was belly-up, and the Fed was printing money like mad.

Overheating the economy with a massive increase in government spending, disguising employment with public sector jobs, and soaring federal debt. The foundation of Neokeynesian economics always rests on the idea that an economy must prioritize government spending, leading to full blown socialism. When the economy is growing, government spending rises because, allegedly, it is time to borrow and grow. When the economy overheats and enters the inevitable recession, government spending must rise again because it needs to support growth. See? Read More |

The United States unemployment rate has risen to 4.1%, the highest in three years, which is also significantly higher than the level seen in 2019. In June, a 70,000 increase in government jobs boosted payroll employment by 206,000. One-third of job creation is public sector jobs paid with more debt. Both the employment-to-population ratio and the labor force participation ratio are below the pre-pandemic level, and immigrants account for all the labor force growth since the pandemic, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Ned Davis Research.

The significance of the passage of time,” she repeated solemnly on a tour of a Louisiana library in 2022. “So, when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.” Yes, ma’am.

President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth have recently been critical of NATO, calling for the European NATO countries to pay for their own defense. This is all to the good, though it does not go far enough. As the great Dr. Ron Paul has pointed out, “We also need a change in policy. Americans are beginning to understand the economic costs of maintaining a global military empire. US taxpayers are forced to cover more than half of the entire NATO budget while European countries rattle sabers at Russia and threaten war. If Europe feels so threatened by Russia, why don’t they cover the costs of their own defense? Why do poor Americans have to pay for the defense of rich Europeans? Haven’t we had enough of this? 
In the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2009, I was obsessed with the risk of a “double-dip” recession.
The biggest obstacle the United States faces at this point in time is the Republican party. They’re not acting to strip all of the funds from USAID, the Treasury, HHS, etc., but are waiting for the crisis of March 15 to hit and force the hand of Donald Trump to sign a CR. That’s all they’re doing. They prefer to work off the Biden budget, filled with the Green New Deal and Inflation Reduction Act pork, misspending, fraud and waste. They’re changing literally nothing in the future budget. Despite the fact that they have already passed numerous budget appropriation bills, they are not attending to the rest of them and the Senate has done nothing to pass the ones sent to them by the House. 
Now that the US and Israeli military has bombed almost all of Gaza into a smoldering ruin and killed tens or hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, President Trump has proposed getting Jordan and Egypt to house the remaining Palestinians. He has threatened to withdraw US taxpayer “aid” to these countries if they do not accept his proposal. This is essentially a revival of Lincoln’s lifelong dream of deporting or “colonizing” all of the black people out of the United States. 
Trump is shaking the whole world more severely than any leader has in the past century, and he hasn’t even been back in office for a month!
Among the things at once hilarious and alarming to those who understand and support the Bill of Rights—all of it—are the efforts of anti-liberty/gun cracktivists. This includes not only the operatives of anti-gun groups whose normal discourse is shot full of inaccuracies and lies, but the Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) media who usually haven’t a clue of the science and reality of guns, ballistics and every related topic. That doesn’t stop them from grotesquely and purposely misinforming the public on those issues.

Did you know that approximately $1,000,000,000 in obviously fraudulent payments flow through the U.S. Treasury’s payment system every week? Until Elon Musk and his DOGE team stepped in, nobody in the government was doing anything about this theft. Please read all the way to the end of this article for the details. Suspiciously, the Democrats are desperately trying to get the courts to keep Elon Musk and his team out of the U.S. Treasury’s payment system. Why is that? What are they working so hard to hide?

Bloggers were revved up when last week began, trumpeting a warning that China’s DeepSeek R1 threatened to crush America’s capital-intensive effort to lead the world in AI development. ZeroHedge was among the first to jump on the story. “The future of humanity is being decided as we speak,” wrote Mark Whitney. “This is a full-blown, scorched-earth free-for-all that has already racked up a number of casualties, though you wouldn’t know it from reading headlines that typically ignore recent ‘cataclysmic’ developments.” 
What in the world just happened at Reagan National Airport? Like many of you, I was deeply distressed to hear of such a great tragedy that should have been so easy to avoid. There is no way that we can bring back those that have died. Many believe that if competent people were running things at Reagan National Airport, they would still be with us. Others are entirely convinced that we aren’t being given the entire picture. There are so many unanswered questions, and I am going to share quite a few with you in this article. 
Chinese startup DeepSeek's latest AI models, V3 and R1, were reportedly trained on just 2,048 Nvidia H800 chips—GPUs that were blacklisted by the US government in 2023 for sale to Chinese firms.

A term once reserved for granola-eating hippies, “crunchy” moms has evolved into a label for women who embrace a more natural lifestyle for their families.
Although it sounds tough, yet often stated by me, is that I don’t give a damn what someone has to say, but very much I care what can be proven. Knowledge vs Ignorance. Repetition of ignorance is ignorance raised to the power two.
In 1970, futurists Alvin and Heidi Toffler released the first of three seminal books about the trajectory that America, and the world was on. They published them at roughly decade intervals: Future Shock (1970), Power Shift, (1984), and Third Wave(1991). There were others (like War & Anti-War and Revolutionary Wealth), but those three laid out what was coming down the pipe and they were largely correct about it because their core premise was so simple: 
Americans should be deeply concerned that our government and financial institutions are not only spying on us but also potentially abusing their power to target Americans for their political views.
Critics of the strict air regulation plan are applauding regulators’ decision to withdraw a waiver request from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Donald Trump’s most recent comments have perplexed everyone. Sure, he always says provocative things, and trolling is an essential characteristic of the Trumpenstein Project. But he has inexplicably introduced ideas and proposals which he has never touched on before. And they contradict everything about the MAGA movement. 
Over the past 10 years, “socially-conscious” investors have shunned sectors such as tobacco, firearms, oil and gas, and alcohol.
Amid the horrific fires in Los Angeles that have destroyed hundreds of homes and caused numerous deaths and injuries we have reports of massive infrastructure and fire equipment failures that have certainly made the situation much worse and have probably cost lives.
Criticisms of pro-market policies, such as lower corporate taxes and deregulation, are often rooted in a form of discrimination rarely acknowledged: upward classism. This prejudice against people of higher socio-economic status misrepresents the contributions of “the rich” and distorts discussions about public policy. While these policies are castigated as benefiting the wealthy, they have demonstrable benefits for broader economic growth and living standards. 
You Can Now be Considered A “Potential Terrorist” Just Because Of Your Religious Or Political Beliefs. 
Readers of this column will remember some years ago my many reports on gratuitous police violence, often resulting in death of innocent and unresisting people. Many incidents were the result of SWAT teams being sent to the wrong address. On one occasion the police, not realizing where they were, arrested their own mayor on drug charges and terrified his family. A 12 or 13 year old black kid was shot down by police without the police asking a single question, mistaking his toy gun for a real one. A man in a wheel chair was choked to death. 
Imagine waking up one morning to find that the value of your savings has plummeted overnight, stores are struggling to stock essentials, and economic news is filled with words like “recession” and “crisis.” It’s a scenario that many of us prefer not to think about, but the reality is that financial collapses have happened before and can happen again. 
When we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we are celebrating one of the most improbable miracles in all of human history. You see, the truth is that not just anyone could have showed up and claimed to be the Messiah. According to the Scriptures, the Messiah had to come from a very specific bloodline, the Messiah had to be born at a very specific place, and the Messiah had to be born at a very specific time. It was exceedingly unlikely that anyone would ever be able to fulfill all of those prophecies, but Jesus did. The prophecies about the first coming of Christ that we find in the Bible are powerful evidence for the reality of the Christian faith, and yet these prophecies are rarely taught in our churches today. 
The term “False Flag” gets thrown around rather haphazardly these days and it’s important to recognize that a real false flag requires a particular end result – The public blaming the wrong culprit for an event that someone else (usually our own government) perpetrated. When it comes to the increasing fervor over major drone activity across the US, I have very little doubt that what we are witnessing is a false flag scenario. 
When I was twenty-four, I knew virtually nothing about business and less about banking. I had very limited self-esteem and assumed that, if someone was wearing a suit, he knew what he was doing and I shouldn’t question him.
From sexy goldfish to AI toilets, federal bureaucrats have spent staggering quantities of our money on truly insane projects. It’s not only misguided and wasteful – it’s a direct drain on our financial security. Here’s how much it’s costing you…
History is either “one damned thing after another”–a chaotic collection of random events–or there are connections between events that are not readily visible. The study of history includes both rooting around for more factual evidence to aid our understanding, and interpreting what is known–both the factual evidence and what people living at that time described and thought was happening. 
Since the start of the 21st century, America's defense spending has soared nearly 50%, with this year's budget surpassing $841 billion. Yet, despite being the world's largest military spender, the Pentagon alarmingly struggles to protect the homeland against the rising threat of spy drones operating within US borders. 
Here in Italy, he’s known as Tommaso d’Aquino. But to the English-speaking world, he’s St. Thomas Aquinas, Doctor Angelicus, and the foremost Scholastic thinker, theologian, and philosopher of the Middle Ages. His Summa Theologiae is over 5,000 pages long; thank heavens God sent Catholic author Peter Kreeft to the 20th and 21st centuries to summarize the Summa for us modern readers.
Have things been getting better for the middle class, or have things been getting worse? Needless to say, the answer to that question is obvious. The cost of living is absolutely crushing us, we can’t afford to replace our rapidly aging vehicles, debt levels are exploding, and the proportion of the country that is living paycheck to paycheck 
The hope here is that facing the reality of moral collapse frees us of the delusion that fiddling with technocratic financial abstractions and policy tweaks can reverse moral collapse. 
Nick Giambruno: Doug, you’re one of the foremost authorities in the world on the topic of crisis investing. Tell us a bit about your background on this topic.
Chaos is starting to erupt all over the planet. Martial law was just declared in South Korea, civil unrest is raging in the streets of Georgia, and civil war threatens to topple the Assad regime in Syria. It is almost as if someone decided to flip a switch and now vast hordes of people are going completely nuts. Unfortunately, I think that this is just the beginning, because I am convinced that civil unrest will be a major theme in 2025. 
I bought some Dogecoin the other day.
I am making my way to Knoxville for the annual Turkey Trot after which I shall engage in the debauchery of good food and better Scotch.
As of Nov. 21, the U.S. national debt broke $36 trillion. It took over 200 years to hit $1 trillion – then just 40 years to shatter $36 trillion. That’s much more than just a massive number. It’s an obligation – and it matters even more than you might think…
If SHTF, living in one of these states, may put you at the unnecessary risk of a potential missile or nuclear strike.
If you live in a warm home and you have plenty of food to eat, you should consider yourself to be extremely blessed, because millions of others are deeply suffering right now. Most of the country is living paycheck to paycheck, the number of homeless Americans is higher than ever, demand at food banks is back to pandemic levels, and many victims of Hurricane Helene are living in very thin tents and 
We’re seeing increasing signs of desperation from “them.” Europe is in deep trouble, but maybe not as much trouble as the S&P500 companies that force mandated vaccines that injured their own workforce and now face the prospect of trillions in injury claims and settlements.
Frequently an accepted version of the past turns out to be based on mythology, created to advance special interests. Even when we become aware of these interests, it is difficult to break loose from the common opinion. In few areas of history has the conventional wisdom assumed such dominance as in the Reconstruction era (1865–77) that followed the War between the States. 
Throughout this very long war, the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv has continued to operate even though there has been a constant threat of missile strikes and drone attacks. But now it has closed because it has received “specific information” that the Russians are about to conduct a “significant air attack”. By the time many of you read this article, that attack may have already happened. We don’t know exactly when the Russians will strike, and we don’t know what specific targets they will hit, but it appears that they are gearing up for something really big. 
Renowned Attorney Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and later Freedom Watch, has been fighting government corruption and winning for decades. Today, the fight has turned into an all-out war and fight to the death. Klayman explains, “Bottom line is we have been in a war, but now we are at red alert. The fact that Donald Trump has been reelected the 47th President of the United States with the popular vote and an overwhelming landslide in the Electoral College, the Left is on the run, but it’s stung. It’s like a wounded tiger. It’s vicious. 
The Trump transition team on Wednesday announced that he is nominating South Dakota governor Kristi Noem as the next head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In the coming weeks, we’ll hear a lot about Noem’s personal politics and origins. We’ll also hear about how the DHS is, as the AP 
Donald Trump is now America’s President-Elect. As I said previously, I fully expected that Trump would win by a comfortable electoral margin and that it would be a clean sweep for the GOP.
Mitch McConnell is a RINO and is a traitor to the people of this country. He staged a COUP against the incoming president and should have been hauled out of the Senate in chains, for he has abused his personal power to try to obstruct what the American people voted for to protect the swamp. Mitch McConnell engineered a coup against Trump’s agenda by calling for early leadership elections in the Senate to ensure that the RINOS would select his replacement to obstruct the American people again as he did throughout the previous Trump Administration. 
The soaring costs of home ownership are changing the metrics of unaffordability in important ways.
The fourth word in the title is the one to stress. There is much that we suspected – including a few things we were sure of but could not prove definitively – that we now know to be incontrovertible. The evidence is unimpeachable. The implications are unavoidable. (And ending three sentences in a row with a polysyllabic adjective is something I should try not to do.)
On the political Richter scale, that was a killer – literally. What was supposed to be a Liberal Totalitarian Show was brutally, unceremoniously, swept out of the park – any park. Even before Election Day, critical thinking was aware of the stakes. With fraud, Kamala wins.
There have been quite a few breakouts this year in precious metals.
Are you an aspiring oligarch, dictator or autocrat? Do you want to wield power whilst maintaining a façade of popular support and democratic mandate? Do you want to make your proles believe they have a choice?
Everybody knows it. Here's what to do.
The younger generations expecting to inherit the immense wealth piled up by Boomers in home equity and stocks may be in for a shock. 
If you want to get people angry, just start a debate about immigration. There are very few issues that are capable of arousing such passion right now. In recent days, the left and the right have been engaged in an all-out war of words over what may or may not be happening in the city of Springfield, Ohio. Haitian migrants now make up approximately a quarter of the city’s entire population, and many local residents have publicly expressed frustration about the chaos that these migrants have caused. Of course many on the left are disputing these claims even though they don’t live in that community. 
As you near retirement age, one of the decisions you get to make is when to file for 
What we are facing is greater than war, greater than civil war, greater than genocide, greater than worldwide migration, greater than being conquered; it’s greater than recession or depression, dispossession, bankruptcy or collapse. It’s even greater than famine or disease. It’s all of these things at the same time. Either this is a coordinated effort by numerous nations across the globe, the maladministration of global elites (who have their fingers in everything) or some sort of mass psychosis. I don’t totally rule out a combination of these forces, either. 
I frequently receive comments about the strength of the United States economy and the unfairness of perceiving things as less than stellar. Is it really the “strongest economy ever”? It’s evident that it’s far from being the “strongest economy ever.”
The book “1984” is supposed to be a warning. Today’s leftists are using it as an instruction manual...
“The global economy is becoming unburdened by what has been.” — Jordan Schachtel on “X”
If the year of 2024 has proven anything so far, it’s that our worries about the potential outbreak of WWIII are absolutely reasonable. The skeptics making accusations of “conspiracy theory” and “doom and gloom” have been proven wrong yet again. The geopolitical atmosphere is turning sour fast.
“What we are witnessing is nothing less than the failure of the greatest propaganda apparatus in history.” 
What in the world has happened to our military? When I was growing up, I was proud that my father was an officer in the U.S. Navy. At that time we possessed the most powerful military in the entire world by a wide margin, and as a result nobody wanted to mess with us. But now everything has changed. Our military has been transformed into a “woke” joke, and we all saw what happened during the absolutely disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. We desperately need to get our act together, 
A new major currency will be hitting the world stage soon as BRICS – being the economic block of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and a growing number of non-western nations – is coming closer to officially launching its collective tender. Details of the currency, which will be called 
A lot of people would like political solutions to their problems, i.e., getting the government to make other people do what they want. People with any moral sense, however, recognize that can only create more problems. Clever players, therefore, use the government as a tool but do so from behind a curtain. They know that it's more effective, and a lot safer, to pull the puppet's strings from offstage. Sometimes, they step into the limelight, depending on the circumstances and the depth of their personal narcissism. But they're all about two things: Power and money. Call them the Deep State. 
The past month of American politics has been utter chaos. Former president Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt by a matter of millimetres. Joe Biden went to Las Vegas, reportedly got Covid, and disappeared completely from public view. A day after his campaign team 
As Elon Musk says, the US is headed for bankruptcy. [Kamala strongly backs Joe’s economic plans.]
Rising national debt has long been a pressing issue in America, and it has caught the attention of Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
International Man: On July 13, there was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. What’s your take on what really happened?
Do you remember how, when you were a child, you used to believe in all kinds of silly things? We used to believe that some guy lived up in the North Pole, making toys all year long, to be delivered to all the children who had been good on Christmas Day. We used to believe that the Easter Bunny delivered colored eggs and candy for us to find scattered around our homes. We used to believe that if we left a baby tooth that had fallen out under our pillow, that during the night the Tooth Fairy would come along and exchange it for a quarter; at least it was a quarter when I was a kid.
As I am writing this article, Biden has stepped aside from his reelection campaign, and baring some kind of last-minute chicanery, Vice President Kamala Harris is the likely nominee. Whereas the optics will change from frail, older White man whose facilities have long since departed, to a younger (59) black-Indian female, the election dynamics will not change. Effectively, it is Trump versus the Establishment – or more accurately, the current Establishment in power (Harris) versus the Establishment out of power (Trump). The policies will not change much, regardless of the election outcome. 
Kimberly Cheatle, Biden’s diversity-hire choice to head up the Secret Service, has been subpoenaed by Congress to answer for her deadly dereliction of duty.
In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the US government has launched its most aggressive sanctions campaign ever.
You’re receiving today’s issue early because it’s very important, and I want to make sure you didn’t miss it.
Editor’s Note: Doug Casey and the International Man team have published extensively on the topic of the coming crisis, including actionable information and advice on how to survive and thrive. Today, we’re publishing an article written by 18-year old Maxim Smith on how to prepare your children for the difficulties ahead.
Instead of a sizzling summer rally, crypto once again finds itself at a crossroads.
If you were in charge of feeding everyone this Fourth of July, you probably noticed a hike in prices.
How will we make America beautiful again?
Can a couple of hardworking people live well in America on $30,000 a year in earnings? Yes, if they're willing to do what's needed to make it happen. 
Here is the trouble with America’s jingos, warhawks, drum-beaters, glory hounds, world-improvers and idealists:
It’s no secret that the vast majority of the so-called elites are advocates of climate alarmism and are taken in by the Green New Scam.
There were plenty of surprises in last week’s presidential debate. For one, Americans who rely on the mainstream media for their news learned that they had been lied to for the past three years about President Biden’s capability to do the job he was elected to do.
