    He was right in the past even though he was laughed at.

    I do like his books they explain the crisis very well.

    He is a big gold and silver bug. They all call him Dr Doom.

    i listen to peter schiff alot. gold and silver markets are heavily manipulated by the federal reserve and the U.S. government. max keiser and jim rogers are other names you should look out for.

    Theres like four horsemen all called dr doom but really the four responsible are geithner, bernanke, bush and obama

    Heres another film on the subject giving a few interesting facts starting around 25 min mark. The money spent on bailouts recently out weighed the cost of every war fought in the last hundred years plus the space program

    Bush charged more debt to the us taxpayers then the collective cost of every president before him going back to washington. Obama then exponentially is set to do the same again including bush

    If usa raised rates by only 1% it would cost them 100bn in interest payments or equal to the annual cost of vietnam war. Most usa debt is short term and set to current rates. UK is more set to long term debt





    I have no speakers :(

    Very good documentary.

    The only question is how long can the USA keep the $ on life support?

    When the $ has a currency crisis how will that affect the rest of the world?

    What will happen to the price of gold and silver at this time?
  • how long can the USA keep the $ on life support?


    it cant at all. its down to the creditors of the usa I think. Collectively they might never call time or care about losses

    Wandered in to Russia Today on Freeview (channel 85) a couple of weeks ago - he's on midnight to half past a few nights a week, worth a look.
  • Yea I wasnt sure about him, gerald celente is a pleb but max explains a few things occasionally as well as lots of gloating, is that why russia likes him :laugh:


    Russia calls for return of sound money, isnt that massively ironic but perhaps they'd know better then anyone else recently
