As you watch this video, I want you to keep in mind that this is the guy the media has positioned as a credible expert for YOU, the audience. One of the easiest ways to get a good sense of how stupid and naive the general public has become is to note how close financial media resembles trash TV. For instance, instead of credible experts with proven track records of excellence, the financial media most often airs broken clock salesmen who are nothing more than con artists. But because the media claims these charlatans are "experts" all while lying about their track record, the audience goes along with these false claims as if they were true. The underlying problem is that people just haven't accepted the fact that the media not only has a LEGAL right to lie (you cannot...

“Regarding the Great Depression. You’re right, we did it. We’re very sorry. But thanks to you, we won’t do it again.” [1] That quote was taken from a speech made by then Board of Governors member Ben Bernanke in 2002 to the Federal Reserve. Unfortunately, Bernanke’s pledge has been broken. As clueless as Bernanke has been, if you follow what he says closely, on occasion you will see his own admission that the U.S. is either in a depression or is certainly headed for one.   For instance, on Tuesday November 30, 2010, as Bernanke attempted to defend his recent decision to buy $600 billion of U.S. Treasuries, he made ridiculous claims that this quantitative easing would lead to more jobs. He then used the often used scare tactic to justify this...

Gold bugs and dealers alike have pumped out so many misconceptions and flat out lies about gold, silver, and the economy that it would be impossible for me to set the story straight in a single article; that's saying a lot considering the fact that my articles tend to be rather lengthy. However, I have previously written several articles that address the majority of the most common of these myths and lies (check the end of this article for a partial list). If you have been sucked into the vortex of lies from these charlatans, you could stand to lose a HUGE amount of money over the next several years as the gold bull market comes to an end.  And if you really think gold will never again fall below $1000 as Marc Faber the gold-pumping clown has "guaranteed," I regret...

Professional gold-pumping doom and gloom marketers like Doug Casey (and his monkeys), Stefan Molyneux, Jeff Berwick, Peter Schiff, Marc Faber, Jim Rogers, John Williams, Harry Dent, Gerald Celente, David Stockman, Paul Craig Roberts, Lawrence Kotlikoff, Eric Sprott, Rick Rule, Jim Rickards, Robert Kiyosaki, James Turk, John Rubino, John Mauldin, Bill Fleckenstein, Mike Maloney, Alex Jones, Max Keiser, Ron Paul and hundreds of others (remember, birds of a feather always flock together) have many ways to get you to part with your hard-earned cash.  Did You Get Fleeced by Max Keiser, Alex Jones and the Rest of the Stooges?

Although one could argue Peter Schiff has been focusing his marketing rants (i.e. when he is on TV and radio pretending to be some sort of economic and investment expert) on conspiracy wackos for a very long time, it’s now official...Peter Schiff has teamed up with conspiracy nut, liar, gold pumper and con man Alex Jones to deliver his delusional economics and broken clock sales pitch to the gullible fools who tune into Jones.  This pretty much puts the final nail in the coffin for anyone still naive enough to think Schiff had an ounce of credibility.   Of course, Jones' gullible, low-IQ nut job audience is too stupid to realize that Schiff refuses to acknowledge the US government's role in 9-11. Yet, these "9-11 truthers" as they refer to themselves compris...

I’ve already exposed Ron Paul as an agent of controlled opposition working for the Koch brothers. I’ve also previously exposed him as a proponent of the military-industrial complex. That’s right. If you think Paul’s so-called “anti-war" policy means an end to the military giants you haven't examined his list of campaign contributors. Defense giants funded Paul's campaign for years.  Finally, I’ve shown that Ron Paul is an absolute investment disaster. But that should come as no surprise to anyone who has heard some of the outlandish things he has said. Many of his economic ideas often cause sensible people to scratch their head in disbelief.  Every good salesman has a unique pitch. Ron Paul is no different. He has been cashing in on his pho...

If America ever expects to fix its broken healthcare system, all the problems must first be identified. Only then can a solution be engineered. While Obama's plan certainly provides no real solution, the current system is clearly broken and needs a radical overhaul. Perhaps you’ve been brainwashed by the talking heads, Washington liars and other hacks that have been paid off by the industry to make you think the healthcare system is just fine. If you already have not already figured it out, you can’t trust ANYTHING from the media, especially CNBC and FOX.  Do I need to name names? Virtually everyone in the media, from the talking head neo-cons (Limbaugh, Hannity, Levine, Savage, etc.) to the clowns on televised networks and those they interview – fa...

Published on July 16, 2011. Updated on July 18, 2011.   I have not yet had the time to address the latest clown out there, Porter Stansberry with his BS video being pumped on conspiracy radio shows and even being advertised on TV.  Here I will make some brief comments regarding this slimy moron. To be honest, I feel it beneath me to even discuss these clowns. I only do it to warn people who might be lured to their hypnotic marketing ads and ridiculous claims. First, Stansberry is perhaps amongst the worst of the marketing clowns. That would place him in the same ranks with Martin Weiss, Agora Financial, and many other guys who try to get you to hand over $5000 for a membership into their secret "alliance" or "society" of BS.  See...

The main stars of America's financial trash TV are broken clocks and contrarian indicators who deliver the same sales pitch day after day, week after week, year after year. That's what salesmen do after all.      Once they've been finally called out for being completely wrong for years, they fight back by changing their talking points to focus on trivial rants, such as when the Fed is going to taper or raise interest rates. And their cult member following always fall for this tactic. Keep in mind that these talking heads focus on this type of nonsense as a way to distract from their investment failures and lousy predictions.   Schiff couldn't even get this right. The guy is a complete failure, so why does the media promote him constantly?   On the t...

I began my mission helping investors steer clear of Wall Street because I learned firsthand how the game was played after having worked in the industry.  Thereafter, I learned how the media helps Wall Street after I was black balled by all media in 2006 and thereafter for trying to warn main street about what would become an unprecedented financial crisis in 2008.  My mission has been to help investors become more knowledgeable and successful by providing cutting-edge investment research as well as top-notch educational content. I think I've done quite well in that regard.  As a part of this mission, I have also spent a great deal of time and effort exposing the criminal activities of the financial media, as it works with Wall Street to deceive and defraud main str...

Over the years, the media has turned financial news and commentary into trash TV. Have you noticed that the clowns the media calls “experts” resemble many of the inept goofballs from one of the media’s other scams known as “reality TV?” 

Jim Rogers has been praised as a top "commodities expert" by countless media outlets for several years. Indeed, Jim Rogers is a "legendary" investor according to the media. Despite the fact that Rogers has served as one of the best contrarian indicators in the world for the better part of the past two decades, the media continues to claim he is an investment "legend" without accurately discussing his track record.  In addition, I have never seen any concrete evidence that Jim Rogers is even a decent investor.  In fact, I've only seen evidence that indicates he's a terrible investor.  Premise: Jim Rogers is an investment "legend" because he was involved with George Soros' Quantum fund, which allegedly returned 4200 percent in less than ten years. But I argue th...

In yet another attempt to encourage you to call out the hacks, I am announcing a contest. It's quite simple. All you have to do is submit the most ludicrous statement or prediction by anyone in the financial media, any of the so-called experts, officials in Washington, Wall Street, economists and so on, pertaining to the real estate market, the stock market, the economy, employment, healthcare, or anything else related.  The time should span 2006 to present. The best submission will win a free copy of America's Healthcare Solution.  Each individual can make only one submission containing up to five (5) quotes. In other words, you can only send one email, but it wan contain five (5) quotes, all from the same person, or from different individuals. You...

UPDATED info on Harry "Doomsday" Dent and his SHITTY track record (20014 - 2015): EXPOSED: More Doomsday Charlatans (Agora Financial Pt 1) Harry Dent, Wall Street Investment Bible and Brazilian Real Estate Moron of the Month: Harry Dent (Take 2) In the past, I have discussed the many ways the media deceives, spins and even lies about financial information as a way to please its financial sponsors, all while creating drama so as to captivate its sheep audience. The goal of the media is two-fold. First, the media has to establish a large audience because the size of the audience determines the amount they charge companies that pay for sponsorships and advertisements. Second, the media has to make sure to keep its corporate sponsors happy. This goes well-beyond airing t...

On May 4, 2012 Charles Munger, vice chair of Berkshire Hathaway seized the opportunity to market his book and his fund during an interview with the Jewish-run criminal media firm CNBC. After all, this is the only reason why Munger or anyone else you see in the media agrees to an interview.  As I have previously explained, even during the rare times the media interviews real experts, they are not likely to provide any real value, for if they did they would first expose the media as a large part of the problem. But Munger did something you will rarely see. And it was by accident. During the following excerpt of this interview Munger slips up by biting the hand that feeds him when he stated that listening to the media would cause investors to lose their ass (paraphrased). Notic......

Several years ago I discussed the reason for Larry Kudlow's firing from Bear Stearns. According to several Bear Stearns employees, he missed an important client meeting and was found under his hotel desk all coked up.   

I have been saving video advertisements from JewTube for some time now. Based on my analysis, 99% of these ads are complete scams run by slimy fraudsters.  Note that each of the scam artists below "just so happens" to be Jewish.  A mere coincidence? Nope. Look at the numbers. Jews dominate in the creation of scams and fraudulent activities.  In fact, whenever you spot a particularly audacious scam you should assume the person(s) involved are Jewish until proven otherwise.  I have found this rule of thumb to be extremely accurate over the years.   In the future I will be publishing my full collection of JewTube scam ads.   I find it striking that the criminal parasites running JewTube have no problem allowing users...
