Who is the world’s biggest bully? Paul Craig Roberts says it’s America – and I agree with him:

World’s Apex Bully Leads World into Lawlessness

The economy’s in a mess, so time to beat the war drums. That’s an entirely credible scenario as President Obama approaches the election for a potential second term. And what better way to ensure a win than to fall prey to Israeli propaganda and lies by waging a war on Iran.

Justin Raimondo, of Antiwar.com, gets to the root of the matter in his essay:

US to Iran: Surrender Dorothy!

From Jeff Clark of Casey Research:

There are many reasons why gold is still our favorite investment – from inflation fears and sovereign debt concerns to deeper, systemic economic problems. But let’s be honest: It’s been rising for over 11 years now, and only the imprudent would fail to think about when the run might end.

Is it time to start eyeing the exit? In a word, no. Here’s why…

George Carlin nails it – again…

Doug Casey emphatically says “no” in this pithy quote from the Casey Report:

In reality, there’s little philosophical difference between the Republicrats and the Demopublicans; they’re really just two wings of the same party. The left wing of the party claims to believe in social freedom (but doesn’t) and overtly disbelieves in economic freedom. The right wing says it believes in economic freedom (but doesn’t) and overtly disbelieves in social freedom. The right wing uses more aggressive rhetoric to build the warfare state, and the left wing talks more about the welfare state. But the net difference between them is minuscule. That’s because they share the same corrupt intellectual and moral views.

Much discussion has centered around the obvious fact that the American Empire is in decline. The signs are everywhere, and Philip Giraldi – former counter-terrorism specialist with the CIA – sees the end as inevitable:

Goodnight, America, and Good-Bye

In an increasingly totalitarian world – where every move, every purchase, every internet site visit, every email and a host of other personal things can be tracked if necessary – one can be excused for wanting to escape or “disappear”.

In a way, the basic idea behind the PT 6 flags strategy is to disappear in a limited way – just enough to increase one’s freedom considerably, without actually cutting oneself off from the world.

But there are people who want to fully disappear, for all sorts of reasons. So how would you do it?

James Altucher takes a personal look at this latent desire in his post…

How to Disappear Completely And Never Be Found
