No Bear Market In Gold | Paul Craig Roberts
May 20, 2013 (PaulCraigRoberts.org) -- You know that gold bear market that the financial press keeps touting? The one George Soros keeps proclaiming? Well, it is not there.

The New Abnormal | James Howard Kunstler
James Howard Kunstler -- World News Trust May 20, 2013 The collective state of mind in the USA these days may be even more peculiar than what went on in Germany in the early 1930s, when the Nazis were freely elected to lead the country and reconstructed the battered national psyche into a superman cult that soon beat a path to mass death and ruin. America has its own way of going crazy. We don&...

Gangster State America | Paul Craig Roberts
May 13, 2013 (PaulCraigRoberts.com) -- There are many signs of gangster state America. One is the collusion between federal authorities and banksters in a criminal conspiracy to rig the markets for gold and silver. My explanation that the sudden appearance of an unprecedented 400 ton short sale of gold on the COMEX in April was a manipulation designed to protect the dollar from the Federal Reserv...

No Mo' PoMo? | James Howard Kunstler
James Howard Kunstler -- World News Trust May 13, 2013 Whenever the Federal Reserve wants to tweak the dials of the economy -- or pretend that it can -- it turns first to its sock puppet at The Wall Street Journal, Jon Hilsenrath, and "leaks" a rumor of policy change (HERE).

The Deep End of the Risk Pool | James Howard Kunstler
James Howard Kunstler -- World News Trust Where on earth did Paul Krugman get the idea -- expressed Monday morning -- that ours is "a weak economy?" The Dow Jones Industrial Average is about to scale previously uncharted heights and the Standard & Poors Index is piling onto its molehill, too. If stocks are up the economy can't be weak since stock markets = the economy. All the...
