At least we are safe from those evil “terrorists.” Right?

Geopolitical tensions have created a growing number of current global conflicts that threaten the existing global financial order.
Confused about the recent debt ceiling debate? Let Jerry’s satirical piece be your guide.
“The USPS is bleeding — losing $3.2 billion in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 — and its problems require immediate Congressional action.”
With prices currently below $2 and demand growing, U.S. natural gas prices will eventually stabilize at a much higher equilibrium price.
Here’s a round up of the some of the latest shocking numbers detailing the continuing bankruptcy of our nation.
For those who are new to swing trading, right now is an interesting time amid the global volatility. I typically hold a stock for at least three days.
How does the government work? Forget the top 1%… We are talking about “the top 1% of the top 1%” that really pull the strings in this country. Learn more here.

Is FoxNews Really “Looking Out For You?” If you haven’t studied the rise of FoxNews in its influence over the neoconservatives and its manipulation of the evangelical community, it is simply fascinating. We will save that story for another day. Suffice it to say that there has never been a better descriptive phrase than television “programming.” FoxNews Exposed.
Now, as a student of Austrian economics and as a firm believer in the free markets, I am not opposed at all to leveraging one’s talents and abilities to increase wealth. However, doesn’t it seem that our modern day “public servants” may be getting the better end of the deal? After all, they are sent to Washington with a mandate to promote the will of the people. However, America’s politicians often end up serving the wishes of their corporate masters as well as other special interest groups.
Ron Paul’s Presidential Campaign has just released a brand new web ad exposing the serial hypocrisy of corrupt former Speaker, Newt Gingrich entitled: Selling Access.
Here are three reasons why I have chosen to support the Presidential candidacy of Rep. Ron Paul in upcoming 2012 elections. We begin with a look at Ron Paul’s faith and foreign policy. This is why I am supporting Ron Paul for President.

Jerry gives some brief comments on the Supreme Court’s recent decision to hear a challenge to Obamacare. He also discusses what to expect on this weekend’s FTMWeekly radio show which includes special guests, Peter Schiff, and David Morgan. And what are those strange lines in the Chinese desert?
Economist and author Peter Schiff recently braved a stroll through the loony mob (affectionately referred to as the “Occupy Wall Street” movement by the mainstream media) currently inhabiting Lower Manhattan. He was armed with a video camera and a microphone. There is no need for further comment. Just watch the video for yourself.

Stocks rallied in the final hour of trading on Friday with all three major indexes logging a 10-week high, amid optimism the euro zone would find a solution to its debt crisis. The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted its best week in a month and ended firmly in positive territory for the year. The S&P 500 had its best week since July 2009, while the Nasdaq finished higher for 2011.
Here’s a few stories that caught my eye this week that I wanted to share. Some of these flew under the mainstream media’s radar.
Despite trillions of dollars in stimulus and Washington’s hype over a “recovery”, the economy is still barely growing in most parts of the country.
If you believe that the market is heading lower and that inflation is inevitable, as we do, then it would be wise to re-examine your finances to ensure that they are aligned with your beliefs about the future. Do you own any precious metals? Do you have any exposure to agriculture in your portfolio? How many of the stocks in your portfolio will benefit as the U.S. continues its decline? Have you considered starting your own business? It’s time to get ahead of the curve.

This weekend, I ran across this unique presentation that attempts to visualize the U.S. National Debt through stacks of $100 bills.
Friends, you often hear me talk about the fact that America has a debt-based monetary system. But what exactly does that mean? Watch this video to see how money is debt.
What a surprise! After the mainstream media forced you to watch hours upon hours of coverage on the staged debt ceiling “crisis,” Washington somehow found a way to save their own hides, and pull off a “last-minute” debt deal.
Here’s what to expect now…
Washington continues to fail on a debt deal. The simple goal for Washington right now is to pass a deal that will reduce the deficit. Washington leaders only have one incentive: re-election.
This is just a quick post to let all of our subscribers know about some upcoming events this weekend.
After seven down weeks in the stock market, it’s nice to be getting some relief. So far this week, I have enjoyed watching many of my own personal stock and ETF holdings rise in value.
Our FTM Investment Portfolio has also taken a beating with the rest of the market over the last several weeks. But lately, it has begun to perk up.
But I remain cautiously optimistic in the short-term.
This week, I have been working very hard on two projects: Our new FTM Quarterly newsletter and our new upcoming e-book on creating multiple streams of income.
Most Americans have no clue that the Federal Reserve is not part of the U.S. Federal government. But even fewer know that they have a machine-gun toting police force as well.

There will be no FTMWeekly Radio show this week as Jerry will be out of the office this weekend. In lieu of our regular weekly program, enjoy this recent interview with Jerry Robinson on Financial Survival Radio.
It helps if you think of the Fed as a drug pusher. Pushers don’t “market” their drugs. Instead, they rely upon the addicts to come crawling back for more. The Fed doesn’t need to push QE3 on the public. This would only bring more attention to its true intentions. Instead, the Fed will let the public demand it.
Stocks are getting hammered today after U.S. companies added fewer employees than forecast in May. Here are some of my random thoughts on the U.S. economic “recovery.”

There are three forces working against your future wealth. Each and every day we wake up, you and I are confronted by these three powerful forces that exist to devour our hard-earned money. Each of these forces are powerful in and of themselves. However, when they are combined, their strength is exponentially increased.
To help understand the coming dollar collapse due to the faltering petrodollar system, I often use an illustration about a hamburger stand. Here it goes…
FTMDaily.com Founder, Jerry Robinson, was recently interviewed about the state of the U.S. economy on Iranian State Television (presstv.ir).
Will the Euro survive? Or will the Euro collapse? There are a lot of questions swirling around the debt-ridden Eurozone. Before I tell you my thoughts, let’s take a brief look at how all of this mess got started.

One chilly Sunday morning, amid the height of the subprime crisis in early 2009, I found my way to a church service in the heart of the Midwest. The church, known as a “megachurch” and one of the largest in the region, was typical of most churches its size.
I must admit that as I sat down to watch the State of the Union address last night, I was more hopeful than usual that the President would at least propose a handful of ideas for effectively reducing our budget deficits and our collective national debt.

A report was released by the World Economic Forum ahead of the organization’s high-profile annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, which is scheduled for next weekend. According to the report the organization is claiming that the global economy will need access to an additional $103 trillion in “credit” to sustain normal economic growth.
How will the creation of more “debt” help our debt-ridden global economy? It will not. However, it will directly benefit global financial institutions and the banking community… and that is what matters most these days. The more money they can lend, the more interest they can earn.

On Wednesday, newly empowered House Republicans took the reins and opened the 112th Congress to a new era of divided government in the nation’s capitol. Images graced the pages of the print media showing former Speaker Nancy Pelosi handing the gavel, the symbol of power in the Congress, to the apparently humbled Speaker John Boehner.
While the yuan is still years away from being able to displace the dollar in global trade, it is inevitable that the U.S. dollar will continue its downward trend which will require the rise of other currencies. The two contenders to watch closely in the coming years are the euro and the yuan.

Ladies and Gentlemen, what’s happening in our nation’s airports right now is quite simply mind-boggling. Through the power invested into them by a bloated and power hungry Federal Government and the Homeland Security department, the Transportation Security Administration (also known as the TSA) is now able to treat law-abiding American citizens who want to travel by airplane as criminals and terrorists without probable cause.
