- Jim Sinclair, March 7th 2010:

What is the difference between the State of California and the State of Greece? The State of California is a bigger bankruptcy… The financial industry is at war with Greece. The CDS-attack (Credit Default Swaps, an off-the-counter derivative) is a nuclear financial attack on Greece.

Very interesting two-part interview with the legendary Jim Sinclair of JSMineSet.com by King World News. Listen to this amazing interview: part 1 and part 2.

In part 2, Jim Sinclair talks about Quantitative Easing, hyperinflation and the coming One World Currency of the IMF and a de facto financial One World Government.

The interview ends with Jim Sinclair concluding:

Be prepared! This is a great civilization change. The most positive thing you can do is to recognize what is out there. The greatest contribution you can make to your family is to be prepared. So when all of this happens, you already have things in place: plans as of what you can do.
…We are not trying to scare anybody or trying to sell anything. We are simply saying, this is the hand writing on the wall. This is what’s most likely going to happen. In order to prepare you have to look at your financial and physical situation. You have to se weather or not this is a really great and significant shift in world history.
The entire purpose of all this is preparation, because the truth will set us free.”

That last statement is at the core of why I have this blog. The world is changing. If you want to protect the purchasing power of your savings from the devaluation of the printing press - buy gold. If you want to stimulate your mind and stay a head of the game, keep reading, listening and watching. Stay tuned…

The Chinese continue to move out of the US fiat paper currency and into real money, gold. India purchased 200 tones last year. As the saying goes “he who owns the gold makes the rules” this furthers the process already in the making for decades - the financial center of the world will move from the US to China and Asia.

Powerful article on sovereign debt and gold. Here’s a quote:

Wherever we look at the world economy today, we see a wall of risk…and potential financial catastrophe. We see a large number of virtually bankrupt major sovereign states (US, UK, Spain, Italy, Greece, Japan and many more) teetering atop a financial system that is bankrupt, but is temporarily kept alive with phony valuations and unlimited money printing. Increasingly, therefore, investors will want to exchange this funny money for gold.

Great interview with Marc Faber. FT.com really lets Faber talk in this 4-part interview giving him the chance to go into more depth than he is usually allowed to in F-TV interviews.

It has begun. The EU-bailout levys will soon be opened. Quantitate easing programs a la Bank of England and the Federal Reserve will be adopted by the ECB. Who is next? Spain? Portugal? This is the beginning of the end of the Euro. All fiat currencies will fall with the US Dollar and the Euro in terms of gold - the only real money. If you are still in trading mode, get into wealth protection mode now.

The Wall Street Journal: EU Leaders Agree on Greece Support

As many of you know Peter Schiff is now running for Senator in the State of Connecticut. Schiff is an American economist of the Austrian School, author, commentator and popular video blogger who regularly appears in the role of a bearish pundit on numerous financial news networks. He predicted the Dotcom crash of 2000 and the Housing crisis of 2007/2008 and like the author of this blog he belives that the US Dollar is heading for hyperinflation. He is a licensed stock broker, the president of Euro Pacific Capital with a 100 employees who successfully protect their clients wealth by moving out of the US dollar and into real money such as gold etc.

If you want a crash course in the problems with the US economy, watch this. A good hour well spent with a lot of information and humor. Enjoy.

Disclosure: I have no vested interest in Euro Pacific Capital nor do I receive any payment for writing this.
