The Financial Survival Network

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Michael Krieger, frequent Zero Hedge contributor and proprietor of  www.LibertyBlitzKrieg.com is extremely concerned over the individual's loss of rights and the expansion of the surveillance state. He's not happy with the election choices, but believes that Romney offers Fascism-Lite and Obama is implementing Fascism-Heavy. If Romney gets in perhaps we'll have the opportunity to further educate the sleeping masses and we'll be able to avoid the inevitable civil and class warfare that now seems inevitable. Once the genie is out of the bottle, there's no putting it back in. The day they come for everyone's guns, is the day that people will say Enough! But Michael and I are both hopeful that this fate can be averted. Go to www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com for the latest info on the economy and precious metals markets

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Danielle Park is back from vacation and joined us today to talk about the coming end of the Great Recession. While some call it a Depression, Danielle believes that the realities of the situation will have to be faced and that politicians will no longer be able to hide from them or to put them off indefinitely. This could be good news for the middle class who have suffered far worse than those in the upper and lower economic strata. Hopefully it's not just positive thinking and it will lead to real systemic reform and the minimization of debt in our society. Debt is the great economic killer and the inability of the government and individuals to reign it in has had and continues to have disastorous effects. So any improvement is a welcome one.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Ann Barnhardt was living her dream. She had a successul commodities firm, helping farmers across the US and Canada to hedge their crop risks. Then MF Global blew up and Ann realized that no matter how carefully she invested her clients' money, it could always be stolen right out from underneath them. Therefore, in good conscience she couldn't continue the business, so she liquidated the assets and paid off her clients in full, so that they would never have to suffer an MF Global meltdown. She has mixed thoughts about it to this day, but she's absolutely certain she did the morally correct act. And while Ann's business ethics are very much intertwined with her religious beliefs, she's decided that she cannot liver her life any other way. And we have to admit, there's something nice about being able to sleep at night, regardless what your religious beliefs may be.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Ranting Andy Hoffman the ace observer of gold price manipulation and a perpetual thorn in the cartel's backside joined us for the Monday Rant. While we were watching, gold got hammered and at one point was over $12 in the red. As a wise man said, we no longer have markets, just a series of ongoing governmental interventions. And if you don't believe it, just look at the price charts. They tell the whole story and it's not a pretty one at that. In the Elite's effort to prop up the markets and give the appearance of normalcy, they regularly manipulate the markets, all in the name of economic stability. But what we will wind up with is far from stability. Instead, they will cause the mother of all crashes. And us average Americans will be left to pick up the pieces and pay the piper.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents David Morgan joined us again, after last week's interview from the road. It's amazing what a brief vacation can do for the mind, body and soul. David's back and he's seeing renewed strength in the metals markets. The ability of silver to consistently stay above the $26 level and now above the $28, level is an indicator of underlying strength. And the same with gold. While both metals appeared ready to go parabolic last summer, they both wound up in one year corrections. And like all corrections, these too will end and the long term trend will assert itself. And for those of you who haven't been watching, that trend is up, up and away. But always remember that the tree does not grow to the sky and that once the excess debt and speculation has been wrung out of the system and the public and financial sectors of the economy have been drastically scaled back, then other more favorable investments may start to appear. But until that time, the metals are probably the place to be. Go to www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com for the latest info on the economy and precious metals markets

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Chris Duane was in the People's Cesspit, otherwise known as Washington, DC. He had the honor of meeting Dr. Ron Paul and discussing monetary policy and sound money with the good Doctor, who's been a 40 year proponent of it. And while Dr. Paul's is on his way towards a much deserved retirement, he has many followers who are only two happy to pick up the cause and fight for giving the people control over their money. Short of a revolution in how we define and treat money, the global economy will continue its death spiral for many years to come. And there's nothing the Ben Barnank and all of his cronies can do to save the system. It's broken beyond repair. So get ready. The mathematical facts will soon assert themselves with a vengeance.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Diana Zoppa and I got together for our weekly show. We talked a lot about these uncertain and somewhat scary times. It's amazing how a little thing like losing all your wealth can make you very spiritual. And Diana's 12 and 13 year old nieces are visiting her this week. Unlike many kids of that age, they actually seem to be concerned about the global economy and sound money. How did that ever happen? Perhaps it's because Diana's father has been giving them silver coins too. They've been learning about silver since the time they were in diapers. I guess the moral of the story is that if you want your kids to understand what real honest money is all about, you should start getting the real thing into their hands as soon as possible. There's lots more in our conversation. Diana's got an incredible conference coming up in October in Vancouver, which you can find out more about at Seedevent.org. Lots of incredible speakers and some great info on how to survive and thrive in the New Economy. Go to www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com for the latest info on the economy and precious metals markets

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Victor Sperandeo is a master trader who's affectionately referred to as Trader Vic. He's run up spectacular gains on the Street and he’s been warning about the potential for hyperinflation for over a year. He's done the research on every great hyperinflation in history and sees no way for the US to escape, unless it massively reforms its fiscal and monetary systems. And he sees very little chance of that happening, without forced discipline of a major meltdown. Like we've said many times on FSN, with the exception of Dr. Ron Paul, there's not a politician alive who has the stones to take on the financial elite. And unfortunately, one man, no matter how honest and intelligent cannot change a nation over night. Vic says to diversify your holdings, if you have any left. But one thing is certain, gold and silver are the backbone of any portfolio whose goal is to protect your remaining wealth.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Martin Armstrong the legendary cycle investor shared his thoughts on where the world economy is heading, and it ain't pretty. The good news is that he doesn't believe that hyperinflation is possible within the US. The bad news is that the current system is spinning out of control and there's no one watching the store, especially when it comes to the real money supply. Banks and financial institutions use the ever increasing supply of sovereign debt to further inflate the supply of money. And it all comes back to the US, where it faithfully earns interest and further depletes the supply of real wealth. Unfortunately, there's no solution that any politician who's concerned about re-election is willing to embrace. So that means that the final collapse is just a not so Black Swan away. It's either that or another Bretton Woods type conference where world economic leaders meet and cobble together a new monetary system. Martin's interviews are always compelling and thought provoking and this one is no different. Go to www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com for the latest info on the economy and precious metals markets

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Greg Hunter built his career working various mainstream media outlets. He was at CNN when he noticed that once reputable news groups were no longer interested in covering the real news. Whether it was the popping of the real estate bubble, the economic collapse, or Sherrif Joe Arpao's investigation into Obama's birth certificate, the media now refuses to cover stories that don't support its view of the world. But fortunately the internet has enabled curious minded people to tap an unlimited number of sources to uncover the truth. And this is the key to surviving and thriving in the new economy. All the institutions that you once put your faith and trust in, are no longer worthy of either. But you have a choice, go for what's real and what has lasting value. More and more people are doing it and so it's no wonder that the mainstream media becomes less relevant by the day.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Charles Biderman is one of the savviest investors we've come across in a very long time. He's long gold and inflation protected securities as well as being short a number of sectors that he believes will be the next crash victims. We asked him frankly if there was a market in the world that was not rigged and was functioning as it was intended. His answer was an unhesitating and resounding NO! The unabated flow of free money given out to the favoredToo Big To Fails and other financial institutions has completely corrupted the financial system. It's no longer a place where capital gets allocated and growing businesses get needed financing. Which is why companies use the free money to buy back their stock instead of expansion. And until the government lets it all fail, nothing can change. Go to www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com for the latest info on the economy and precious metals markets

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Nick Santiago of www.IntheMoneyStocks.com joined us for a critique of the Fed and current economic policy. If you were expecting a big revelation from our last sit down, think again. According to Nick, "The Soap Opera goes on and on and on." There's no let up from the policies that got us into this catastrophe and there doesn't seem to be any one interested in reforming the system to avoid the mother of all melt downs. And it will, and soon. It won't be long either. Inflation is kicking up and it's seeping into all aspects of the economy. Which is why gold and silver are your best means of protecting your wealth and your sanity from the wealth destructors in government and banking. There's really no other choice!

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Dr. Yaron Brook, head of the Ayn Rand Institute joined us for a discussion about the upcoming presidential election and his new book, Free Market Revolution: How Ayn Rand's Ideas Can End Big Government. It's shocking to think that the United States achieved its greatness, largely through the operation of free market economics and that now we must all hope for a Free Market Revolution. The Founders would not believe the state of the country they founded upon the unique principals of limited government and individual sovereignty. But these concepts are finding new audiences and they are resonating with college students who've acquired six figure debts with very poor career prospects to show for it.

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Joel Stern studied under Milton Friedman and knows a lot about how the world's economy got where it is today. He's worked with countries, companies, and has been teaching students about the virtues of the free market and its ability to lift the human race's level of prosperity and contentment. The Rule of Law is the cornerstone of economic and individual freedom for decades. In the US today, the Rule is eroding and this poses a threat to everyone's liberty and their pursuit of happiness. Hopefully with people like Professor Stern fighting the fight, and others joining daily, freedom will advance around the world as well as in its birth place, the United States.
