The Two Paths—Massive Inflation or Deflationary Depression —
13 Feb 2013 —
Andrew Gause says the Congressional Budget Office estimate of future US federal debt—only $27T by 2023—is wildly optimistic, and Obama's SOTU proclamations of progress on debt reduction were verbal legerdemain at best. If the Fed increases the money supply commensurate with the future debt increases, we will see massive inflation; if it doesn't, we will have a deflationary depression. Other topics include avoiding the madness of the roiling populace; controlling inflation by reducing current purchasing power; safety (or not) of gold and silver ETFs; the pitfalls of investing in non-coin collectibles.

Militarization of Police Tactics, From Dorner to Waco to MOVE —
15 Feb 2013 —
Medical examiners positively identified the body of former Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner, the man authorities say killed four people over the past two weeks in a campaign of revenge against the LAPD. Dorner died in a California mountain cabin after police used incendiary tear gas to set fire to the structure. ~~ The Dorner take-down has elicited comparisons to the deadly 1993 raid on the Branch Davidian complex in Waco, Texas, and the 1985 police bombing of the MOVE headquarters in Philadelphia. Former Seattle police chief Norm Stamper and author Radley Balko add perspective to the police tactics in the cases.

The Tangled, Wicked Web of Debt and the Matey Monsters That Spin It —
09 Feb 2013 —
Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the wicked web of debt that has been weaved by the banksters who deceive. They also discuss the first law of thermo-derivatives, which states that risk cannot be destroyed, and how the financial mates in the grand hot tub of fraud hide behind their matey-ness. Then Max talks to Mitch Feierstein, author of Planet Ponzi, who discusses the central-banking bag of tricks, which includes divert and deflect, delay and pray, and extend and pretend. Finally they ponder whether we will see a global reset or individual sovereign failures.

The Christopher Dorner Case in Context —
10 Feb 2013 —
Mike Ruppert, who knew Chris Dorner during a previous phase of his career, discusses the case. Ruppert speculates that Dorner's activities are well planned and not likely to end peacefully. Though he does not condone Dorner's targeted killings, he does understand the culture of corruption within the system that could take a man to this level. Notably, Ruppert questions the authenticity of the gun control portion of Dorner's manifesto, saying it sounds like the passage was written by someone else—someone with an agenda.

Will Currency Vigilantes Bring on the Bondpocalypse? —
07 Feb 2013 —
Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert's news topics include... Wall Street finally comes around to talking about Keiser's predicted "bondpocalypse"; and how the financial shysters are quietly changing their customers' risk profiles without telling them, so when the bond bubble bursts, the firms won't be legally exposed for not telling their customers to get out of bonds. ~~ Max Keiser and John Butler of Amphora Capital discuss the manipulation of inflation figures in ways that cheat the populace; the lack of moral hazard and appropriate vigilantism in the financial markets; and the expanding dangers of the global currency war.

Andrew Gause on Trade Agreements, Federal Budget Games, Reagan, more —
06 Feb 2013 —
Andy Gause's topics include... NAFTA and similar trade agreements are not constitutional, but that does not matter because the power of law does not apply these days. They'll keep kicking the debt ceiling and sequestration date down the road—though he admits there is now about a 10% chance of financial collapse. Ronald Reagan is given credit as a conservative, but on financial matters, he was nothing of the sort, and the inflation his policies spawned are ignored by the political right. The American Plan is morphing into The Chinese Plan—oh my.

Science is telling us that humans are in the process of ruining the world for life as we know it and we're chewing through resources as though there is no tomorrow. We feel utterly helpless in the face of corp-gov insanity and declining economic conditions. As we look for alternatives, how can we avoid the pitfalls of past superstition, the craziness prevalent in most forms of media, and the depressive reality that threatens to transfix us with overwhelming dread?

So Much Magic —
12 Feb 2013 —
Maintaining the complexity of our civilization requires a consistent input of net energy and a stable climate. We've already experienced the first few years of a long emergency through economic stagnation and contraction, financial fraud, and a lack of meaningful political momentum. Can we expect advances in technology to make a useful contribution to solving modern challenges or are we headed for a technological time out? Are we approaching a magic moment when those oppressed by debt refuse to pay? James Howard Kunstler discusses these and related themes.

BPA—The Dose Doesn't Make the Poison, a Single Molecule Does —
07 Feb 2013 —
Fred vom Saal, professor of biology at the University of Missouri, talks about his decades-long investigation into Bisphenol-A (BPA). He explains that while the standard toxicology maxim "the dose makes the poison" does apply to many chemicals, it does not apply to endocrine-disrupting chemicals. BPA is one of these, and even an ultra-low level of these molecules in our bodies is a negative. A major source of exposure is canned food, with coconut milk and soup among the most contaminated products. Alternatives to BPA exist and have been implemented in Japan and Europe, but the US canning industry has resisted pressure to do the same.

Paul Kingsnorth, co-founder of the Dark Mountain project, discusses the themes in his recent Orion article, "Dark Ecology: Searching for Truth in a Post-Green World." Paul is critical of neo-environmentalists—environmental activists who have made peace with the logic of capitalism and the infinite growth paradigm. They see environmental stresses as technical problems which are best addressed with technological remedies, and they agree that anything that is real and worthy of consideration can be quantified by science and priced by the market. Kingsnorth refutes this position.

Exercise and diet guru Mark Sisson talks about how being fit is mostly about adhering to an exercise and eating plan that is compatible with our evolutionary design. His recommendations include: play-based activities (sports, etc) are more effective than gym workouts; intense short-burst activity is more effective than prolonged aerobics; nutrition influences about 80% of your body composition (vs. exercise); exposure to sun and soil is important; a diet high in vegetables, fruit, saturated fat and (some) protein works best.

It's both, of course; but the really interesting finding is that environmental influences can get genetically incorporated in a single generation and be passed down to offspring.

The Fight for GMO Labeling is Accelerating —

Three months ago, Prop 37, a California ballot measure to mandate the labeling of GMO foods was defeated, partly due to fierce lobbying from the food industry. But similar initiatives are underway in other states, including Vermont, New Mexico, and Washington. Now it looks as though some big players in the food industry may be less opposed to a federal labeling law because it would avoid a patchwork of state laws.

The JFK Assassination—The CIA or the Mob? —

This 1988 radio documentary focuses on the views of former New Orleans District Attorney, Jim Garrison, who was tangentially involved in the initial investigation of the JFK assassination, and then a few years later, reopened the case at the urging of Senator Russell Long. Garrison lays out the evidence that the CIA, at the behest of those at the helm of the military-industrial complex and with the complicity of some in the FBI and Dallas PD, was directly responsible for the assassination of JFK. Evidence for an alternate view, that the mob sanctioned a hit on Kennedy, is also considered but seems scanty compared to the case against the CIA and FBI.
