What You Need to Know About Venezuela’s New Cryptocurrency
James Corbett, February 24 2018
So, what are we left with? A state-issued scam coin that is not "backed by oil" but by the government's willingness to accept it for taxes and "services". It will help Venezuelan tax collectors track down every transaction in the country's digital economy.
Meet the New Fed Chairman
James Corbett, February 17 2018
As always, the people know that the markets are rigged, that the dollar is a paper promise with nothing to back it up, and that the central bankers and their financier cronies are not the "Wizards of Wall Street" but the "Wizard of Oz," i.e., little men behind a curtain desperately trying to distract the public with their hocus pocus parlor tricks.
So, what isn’t fake?
Bob Rinear, February 14 2018
No matter where we look, we see it. The media lies, the politicians lie, the markets get rigged, and we’re left to try and navigate through this mess. It gets frustrating. You find a stock that should be trading considerably lower. Their balance sheet stinks like 5 day fish.
Memo Mania

The Financial Press Just Admitted the Markets are a Sham
James Corbett, January 20 2018

What are the options?
Bob Rinear, January 17 2018
There are all sorts of options plays you can have fun with. I suggest that 90% of the people should stay with the absolute basics of trading options, and that simply means buying call options if you think a stock is going to rise. It means buying a put option if you think the stock is going to fall.
Privacies You Didn't Know You Lost
James Corbett, January 13 2018
But for those worrying over the potential for the Big Brother police state to read your thoughts and arrest you for thought crime in real time... relax.
Absurdity is the New Normal
Bob Rinear, January 10 2018
We’re mired in a global debt and derivative “bomb” that is Mathematically impossible to get rid of. We’ve got quadrillions in derivatives and even the best experts suggest that they have no way of knowing how many millions of people would be affected by the failure of just a tenth of them.
New Year’s Predictions (That Won’t Come True)
James Corbett, January 6 2018
...without further ado, I present five ridiculous new year predictions that I guarantee will not actually happen this year!
So, It’s 2018 Now
Bob Rinear, January 3 2018
It’s a really good question, because one thing I’m very certain about. IF and it’s a big if, the Central banks stop their insane printing, the entire world will enter a recession of fairly epic proportions. Is that in the plans somewhere?
2017 Was the Year of Technocracy
James Corbett, December 30 2017
We have a choice in all of this... When you buy an Echo Dot for your home, you are making a choice. When you search for something on Google, you are making a choice. When you upgrade to the latest fondleslab so you can take advantage of Face ID, you are making a choice.

Democrat. Republican. When it comes to this collusion story, there’s no real difference.
The Sugar Conspiracy
James Corbett, December 9 2017
