Facebook Filing S-1 Tomorrow, Huge for BVSN!

2012-02-01T07:46:00.001-05:00

Facebook is expected to file their S-1 for their IPO tomorrow. It is expected that Facebook will begin trading in May with a market cap of approximately $100 billion and they will likely raise around $10 billion in the IPO.

Already this evening in the financial mainstream media, the Facebook IPO is the #1 topic being discussed. As we approach the Facebook IPO, the media coverage of it will only increase and everybody in the world will be talking about it. We expect investors to soon begin searching for other publicly traded stocks that could benefit greatly from Facebook's IPO. NIA believes there is no publicly traded company that will benefit more from the Facebook IPO than BroadVision Inc. (BVSN).

BVSN had a huge day on Tuesday rising $2.91 or 14% to $23.94 on volume of 1,045,997 and in afterhours trading BVSN is up another $0.31 to $24.25. The enterprise social networking industry today is still in its infancy, just like the consumer social networking industry was three years ago when Facebook began its rapid growth. BVSN along with Jive Software (JIVE) are the only two publicly traded pure enterprise social plays that exist today.

BVSN just reported on Thursday evening that they signed 117 new Clearvale Enterprise customers in 2011, which was up 290% from the 30 Clearvale Enterprise customers BVSN signed in 2010. BVSN also reported that they signed 33 new customers in the 4Q of 2011 alone, which was more than the whole previous year.

BVSN's growth has now surpassed the industry leader JIVE. While BVSN signed 117 new customers last year, JIVE only grew by 113 new customers in the 12 months ending June 30th, 2011. We estimate that JIVE now has about 680 total customers, which is much more than BVSN's estimated total customer base of 147. However, JIVE has been offering their Engage platform for many years. BVSN's Clearvale Enterprise platform is newer, better, and cheaper. Over the long-term we strongly believe BVSN could grow to become much bigger than JIVE is today.

At BVSN's current price of $23.94 per share it has a market cap of only $108.09 million. Once you subtract BVSN's $54.4 million cash position and an additional $17 million for BVSN's old legacy products, BVSN's Clearvale platforms are being valued at only $36.69 million, which is absolutely nothing. For comparison purposes, JIVE currently has a market cap of $877.13 million and once you subtract their net cash position of $200.99 million, JIVE's Engage platform is being valued at $676.14 million.

JIVE's Engage is currently being valued 18.43 times higher than BVSN's Clearvale, when BVSN's Clearvale is now growing much faster! BVSN only has about 21.6% of JIVE's customers, but if BVSN's Clearvale was worth 21.6% of what JIVE's Engage is currently worth, Clearvale would be worth $146.05 million. Add to that BVSN's $54.4 million in cash and $17 million for BVSN's old legacy products and BVSN would trade at a market cap of $217.45 million and a price of $48.16 per share.

While JIVE's Engage platform is the market leader in terms of fully featured paid for enterprise social networks, Yammer is the current market leader in terms of limited featured free enterprise social networks. A story just came out today about how employees at Alcatel-Lucent setup their own Yammer network and after their employees had so much success using the free Yammer enterprise social platform, Alcatel-Lucent decided to deploy their own fully featured enterprise social network using JIVE: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/ hinchcliffe/enterprise-20- success-alcatel-lucent/1917

Although Yammer offers an upgraded version with more features that companies can pay for, it doesn't offer nearly as many features and functions as BVSN's Clearvale Enterprise and JIVE's Engage. Although JIVE's Engage is a very good top-tier platform, JIVE doesn't offer a free version like Yammer with the potential to go viral.

BVSN offers the best of both worlds! BVSN is now offering a free "Twitter like" enterprise social network called Enterprise Express that is better than Yammer and we expect it to soon go viral like Yammer. Any employee of a company can setup Clearvale Express for free at http://clearvale.com and begin communicating online with their co-workers immediately in a secure environment.

Once employees have huge success with Clearvale Express, BVSN offers a quick and easy way for a company to upgrade seamlessly to BVSN's fully featured top-tier Clearvale Enterprise platform. So while Yammer is losing the majority of their customers when their free users like Alcatel-Lucent finally decide to upgrade to a paid fully featured network, we believe BVSN will keep the majority of their Clearvale Express clients and we will see most of them upgrade to Clearvale Enterprise.

When Clearvale Express begins to go viral as thousands of people around the world learn it is a more useful free network with better features than Yammer, we believe BVSN will quickly catch up to JIVE in terms of total paid customers. JIVE does not offer a free version of their platform and therefore we believe BVSN's Clearvale Express gives BVSN a huge advantage over JIVE.

The biggest catalyst we see coming for BVSN in the near-future that will further set BVSN apart from JIVE is BVSN's upcoming Clearvale Nexus. This new platform being developed by BVSN will soon become a major game-changer in the industry. Clearvale Nexus will allow BVSN's Clearvale Enterprise users to access a directory of other Clearvale Enterprise users at different companies and through Clearvale Nexus businesses will be able to form new partnerships with other businesses and collaborate with them through Clearvale in a secure environment. This is something that no other enterprise social platform in the world does. Clearvale Nexus has not yet been officially announced by BVSN, but when it finally is we expect BVSN to become one of the biggest plays on Wall Street.

NIA believes the run BVSN recently made to $44.75 is small compared to the run BVSN could soon make in the months to come as we get closer to the Facebook IPO. The month of March is going to be absolutely huge for BVSN. We expect BVSN to receive massive international exposure at the Digital London Summit conference on March 13-14. Go to http://www.digitallon.com/ and look at what company logos are on the homepage. The main attractions of the Digital London Summit will be BVSN, Adobe, Microsoft, Cisco, and Juniper. These are all multi billion dollar companies that are going to be making their presence felt at the Digital London Summit along with BVSN. The Mayor of London is even going to be participating at the summit!

After the Digital London Summit, think about the massive worldwide media attention BVSN could potentially receive as we approach the Facebook IPO a short time afterwards. BVSN's CEO will be speaking there about How Social Networking will Change the Way We Work!

NIA loves how BVSN's CEO owns 36.7% of his own company. JIVE's CEO only owns 1.85% of his own company! Speaking of BVSN's CEO, check out this old BusinessWeek article: http://www.businessweek.com/1999/99_39/b3648002.htm

It is called "The e.biz 25: Masters of the Web Universe" and names the 25 Internet pioneers who are changing the competitive landscape of almost every industry in the world. On the right side of the page there is a vertical box displaying the names of BusinessWeek's Top 25 Masters of the Web Universe along with their company names. You will see such people as Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Meg Whitman of eBay, and as you continue down right underneath Louis Gerstner of IBM you will see Pehong Chen of BVSN! Interestingly, also on the list is Masayoshi Son of Softbank, a $31 billion Japanese company that is now reselling BVSN's Clearvale social platforms to their own partners and customers!

Ron Paul Finishes 2nd in New Hampshire!

2012-01-11T07:13:00.001-05:00

Ron Paul finished 2nd place tonight in New Hampshire. With 73% of the votes counted, Ron Paul has 39,773 votes or 24% of the vote, behind Mitt Romney who has 64,122 votes or 38% of the vote, and ahead of Jon Huntsman who finished 3rd with 28,244 votes or 17%.

When Ron Paul finished 3rd in Iowa's popular vote the other day, a countless number of people in the mainstream media along with political experts in Washington declared Ron Paul's finish a high watermark for his campaign during the GOP primary season. Just one week later, Paul has already proved them wrong with a 2nd place finish. NIA believes that once Americans learn the truth about Paul and what he represents compared to Romney who is a puppet of the Federal Reserve, Paul has a real chance of becoming the nominee to take on Obama.

After Iowa, the media declared Santorum the only candidate with the ability to defeat Romney, despite the fact that most Americans have never heard of Santorum and he doesn't have the infrastructure in place to win a nationwide campaign. NIA said that out of the three best performing candidates in Iowa, only Romney and Paul have the infrastructure in place to win the nomination on a nationwide level. The truth is, Paul tied Romney and Santorum in Iowa for first place, because they will each receive 7 delegates from the state. The delegates are what determines the winner of the GOP nomination.

After tonight's results in New Hampshire, Paul is now in second place alone behind Romney in terms of delegates. Santorum only received less than 10% of the votes in New Hampshire, about the same as Newt Gingrich. If Paul finishes strong in South Carolina on January 21st, it is likely that many of the other candidates will drop out and all of the attention will be on just Romney and Paul. NIA predicts that at that point, Romney will refuse to debate Paul.

NIA's new video 'The Romney Con' is receiving rave reviews and has already been viewed over 115,000 times in just 4 days. 'The Romney Con' exposes the truth about Mitt Romney and why America needs to support Ron Paul. The best way that we can support Ron Paul besides donating is spreading the word about 'The Romney Con' so that as many Americans watch the video as possible: http://inflation.us/videos.html

NIA's staff spent countless hours away from their families throughout the holiday season putting 'The Romney Con' together in order to help Ron Paul (even working on Christmas and New Years Eve). So that Romney supporters don't accuse us of bashing Romney's name to promote our organization, NIA doesn't discuss itself in the video except for its logo being displayed for half a second at the very end.

The Romney Con: Must See Video

2012-01-07T09:05:00.001-05:00

NIA just posted its most important video that it has ever produced, 'The Romney Con'. Mitt Romney is a puppet of the Federal Reserve and Ben Bernanke. If Romney wins the GOP nomination, once again in the Presidential election just like four years ago, Americans will have a choice between two pro-inflation candidates who are exactly the same on all economic issues.

It is absolutely urgent that you spread the word about this video to every single person you know. The future of our country is at stake. The mainstream media has been manipulating Americans into supporting Mitt Romney, when if elected he will be exactly the same as Obama. Ron Paul is the only real candidate running for President. Ron Paul is our nation's only hope of surviving hyperinflation, but unless millions of people see this video, it will be very difficult for Ron Paul to defeat Mitt Romney.

'The Romney Con' is now available to watch on NIA's video page: http://inflation.us/videos.html

If millions of people see this video, NIA is confident that Ron Paul will win the GOP nomination and become our next President.

Ron Paul Has Real Chance of Becoming GOP Nominee

2011-12-09T18:29:00.001-05:00

Ron Paul Has Real Chance of Becoming GOP Nominee

NIA believes that the free market is the number one predictor of the future. We pay a lot of attention to the web site Intrade.com which allows investors to place bets on current events by buying shares on the outcome. Right now on Intrade for the cost of $4.69 you can buy shares that Mitt Romney will become the Republican Presidential Nominee. If Romney is victorious, your shares will become worth $10 and you will more than double your money. If Romney doesn't win the nomination, your shares will become worthless and you will lose your entire investment.

With shares in Romney costing $4.69 it means Romney has a 46.9% chance of winning. Back on November 14th shares in Romney cost $7.15 meaning he had a 71.5% chance of winning. In the last three weeks, Romney has gone from being an overwhelming favorite to no longer having a majority of support.

Along with Romney collapsing, so has Cain who dropped out of the race. Cain had a 9.5% chance of winning on October 15th, but now has only a 0.1% chance of winning. Meanwhile, Rick Perry was exposed as being the phony candidate from Texas. Perry's support has collapsed from 39.4% on September 3rd to only 2.1% today.

With Romney, Cain, and Perry collapsing, where has all of their support gone? Newt Gingrich's chances of winning have increased from a low of 0.8% on September 27th to 33.3% today. Ron Paul's chances of winning have increased from a low of 2.2% on November 8th to 7.4% today. Jon Huntsman's chances of winning have increased from a low of 2.1% on November 7th to 7% today.

Iowa is the first GOP caucus and widely recognized as the first step in becoming the Republican nominee. Intrade doesn't allow you to buy shares for the Iowa caucus, so we can only look at polling. A new PPP poll for the Iowa caucus just released on December 5th shows Gingrich in the lead with 27%, Paul in second with 18%, Romney in third with 16%, and Bachmann in fourth with 13%.

Rather than giving Ron Paul a serious chance of winning Iowa, the media is currently portraying Paul as a potential "spoiler". The Washington Examiner published an article this week with the headline, "Ron Paul could complicate GOP's two-horse race". Despite Paul currently polling second place in the most important primary state, many mainstream media news reports about the election have been mentioning Ron Paul's name before immediately saying, "who has no chance of winning the nomination."

History has shown that just like in a horse race, Presidential candidates who take a big lead early on almost never win the nomination. Those who think Romney will win the nomination also thought that Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani were going to be the two nominees four years ago. If history is right and Romney doesn't win the nomination, the winner will likely be either Gingrich or Paul.

NIA considers Gingrich to be unelectable and predicts that his support will soon evaporate as soon as voters learn the truth about him. Gingrich might as well be a Democrat. He would have zero chance of winning an election against Obama because voters would choose to go with the real thing. In the last Presidential election, voters only had a choice between two candidates who supported the government's bailout of Wall Street. You would think that Americans today would only be supporting candidates who were strongly against the government's bailout of Wall Street. Gingrich stated in 2008 that he "reluctantly and sadly" was supporting the $700 billion bailout of Wall Street. If Gingrich was the nominee, it will be a disaster for America because it will show that nobody in the U.S. has learned a thing.

Gingrich claims to have never favored cap-and-trade, but in 2007 he said that he would "strongly support" cap-and-trade with “a tax-incentive program for investing in the solutions.” He went on to say in 2009 that he might still support cap-and-trade for “the 2,000 most polluting places,” if packaged with green energy incentives. Even more disturbing than Gingrich's support of cap-and-trade, Gingrich was paid $30,000 per month by Freddie Mac as a consultant during the subprime mortgage crisis up until it effectively became a government controlled entity. Gingrich received a total of $1.8 million from Freddie Mac as part of two contracts, one that lasted from mid-1999 to 2002 and another that lasted from 2006 until September of 2008.

NIA believes that Gingrich is largely responsible for skyrocketing health care inflation in the U.S. today. In 2003, Gingrich founded The Center for Health Transformation, which was paid dues of $200,000 per year from health insurance providers and other health care firms. Those dues would provide health care companies with “access to Newt Gingrich” and “direct Newt interaction”, which NIA looks at as bribes that were paid to Gingrich by these health care giants to pass regulations that pushed health care costs through the roof. Gingrich's organization advocated that “anyone who earns more than $50,000 a year must purchase health insurance or post a bond." NIA believes it is unconstitutional for the government to force Americans to buy anything. This type of distortion of the free market by Gingrich is what has helped fuel massive health care inflation for the past decade.

On September 27th when Gingrich's support was only 0.8%, Paul was beating him with support of 2.6%. Gingrich is the latest flavor of the month. We also saw huge spikes in support for Perry and Cain before their support collapsed back to below 2% as voters figured out the truth about them. Paul is the only candidate who has never been below 2% and has enjoyed a very large and solid support base that has been growing consistently. Paul is currently second in Iowa and third nationwide and when voters realize he is the only candidate who will implement the changes that need to be made to save America from hyperinflation, Paul will be the only candidate left standing to take on Obama.

The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism just released a study yesterday of 20 million tweets and it shows that Ron Paul is overwhelmingly viewed more positively on Twitter than all of the other Republican candidates:

After studying 20 million tweets, 55% of tweets about Ron Paul were positive while only 15% were negative. For every other Republican candidate, negative tweets outweighed positive tweets by two-to-one. The mainstream media loves Twitter and when Lindsay Lohan tweeted that she enjoyed NIA's latest documentary, there were dozens of stories in the media about it. However, there was very little media coverage yesterday about the Pew Research Center's findings.

Ron Paul also leads all of the other Republican candidates in Google searches. Paul is currently receiving 823,000 monthly searches on Google compared to Bachmann in second with 673,000 monthly searches and Perry in third with 550,000 monthly searches. Cain and Romney are both tied with only 246,000 monthly searches. Flavor of the month Gingrich who the media is now portraying as the potential new frontrunner has been receiving only 165,000 monthly searches, which shows that Gingrich really has no grassroots support and that his artificial support is being fueled by the mainstream media trying to manipulate the minds of voters.

Ron Paul in September won the California GOP Presidential straw poll, but it got almost no mention at all by the mainstream media. At around the same time, Herman Cain won the Florida GOP Presidential straw poll and it became the number one story on the news with the media declaring Cain a serious threat to win the nomination. If you search on Google for "Ron Paul" and "California straw poll winner" only 25,400 results appear. However, if you search on Google for "Herman Cain" and "Florida straw poll winner" you get 54,600 results.

Last night on FOX News, they kept airing commercials repeatedly for upcoming FOX News segments about Perry and what he is doing to get back into the race with Romney and Gingrich. Perry has no chance of recovering from his current support on Intrade of 2.1%. In a recent GOP debate, Perry copied both Ron Paul and NIA by talking about branches of the government that he claims he wants to eliminate. The only problem is, Perry forgot the branches of government. It became clear to all watching the debate that Perry is merely trying to recite lines that he has memorized and is not a real Presidential candidate. Paul has been talking about eliminating many branches of government for decades and when Paul speaks, you can tell he is a real genuine candidate who speaks for himself and means what he says. Perry is just a parrot and if he were elected, he would not follow through with anything he has been attempting to say.

Important Breaking Inflation News

2011-11-30T17:32:00.001-05:00

The Federal Reserve along with the European Central Bank, Bank of Canada, Bank of Japan, Bank of England, and the Swiss National Bank are all lowering their U.S. dollar swap rates by 50 basis points! This is going to create massive worldwide monetary inflation and flood the world with U.S. dollars!

The Fed claims that these coordinated actions will enhance their capacity to provide liquidity support to the global financial system in order to "ease strains in financial markets and thereby mitigate the effects of such strains on the supply of credit to households and businesses and so help foster economic activity."

It was also announced this morning that arrangements have been made to establish temporary bilateral liquidity swap arrangements so that liquidity can be provided in each jurisdiction in any of their currencies should market conditions so warrant. Although the Fed said, "there is no need to offer liquidity in non-domestic currencies other than the U.S. dollar" at this time, the stage is now set to create massive worldwide monetary inflation in other fiat currencies as well. The whole entire global fiat currency system could soon come to an end. The only solution to the upcoming hyperinflationary crisis will be a global digital gold backed currency.

NIA believes China will soon announce that they have dramatically increased their gold holdings to backup their rapidly growing foreign currency reserves, which have now reached $3.2 trillion. China's central bank just announced this morning that they are lowering their reserve requirement ratio by 50 basis points to 21% from 21.5%!

NIA considers precious metal stocks to be extremely undervalued at this time and we believe they are set to outperform gains in gold and silver in the months ahead. We believe silver stocks have the most upside potential and that silver exploration stocks, although the most risky, could be the biggest silver gainers. NIA's latest stock suggestion Mines Management Inc. (MGN), at its current price of $2.10, has the lowest valuation out of all silver exploration stocks we are aware of with an enterprise value of only $39.89 million, which equals a valuation of only $0.173 per ounce of their estimated 230 million ounce silver resource base.

NIA also sees huge upside potential in alternative energy stocks and sees the biggest potential in ocean energy, because the ocean makes up 71% of the earth's surface and the ocean energy industry is still in its infancy compared to solar and wind. NIA's second to latest stock suggestion Ocean Power Technologies Inc. (OPTT) has established itself as the leader in ocean energy with 41 issued U.S. patents and major partners around the world including the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Department of Energy, Lockheed Martin, Mitsui Engineering in Japan, Iberdrola in Spain, and Leighton Contractors in Australia! OPTT is currently trading for well below its net cash position of $4.10 per share.

Disclaimer: NIA owns 108,200 shares of OPTT that it purchased at an average price of $3.1079 per share. NIA intends to sell its shares of OPTT in the future and can sell them at any time. NIA also reserves the right to accumulate additional shares of OPTT at any time.

Agriculture Update

2011-11-25T07:44:00.001-05:00

On October 30th, 2009, NIA released an article 'U.S. Inflation to Appear Next in Food and Agriculture' in which we said, "A massive rise in agriculture prices is just around the corner."

Since then, as a result of the Federal Reserve's money printing, agricultural commodities made their largest ever short-term gain. After dipping from their 2011 highs, we believe agricultural commodities are likely to soon resume their rally as the Fed prepares QE3. From their lows in 2010, we look for agricultural commodities to make the same percentage gains seen from their lows to highs in the 1970s by the year 2015, at the latest. We look for agricultural commodities to reach their 1970s highs adjusted for the real rate of price inflation by year 2020.

Here are the percentage gains that agricultural commodities made from their lows in 2010 to their highs in 2011:

Cotton +241%, Sugar +164%, Corn +146%, Coffee +142%, Wheat +110%, Orange Juice +63%, Soybeans +57%, Cocoa +49%. Average: +121.5%

After reaching their highs earlier this year, here are the percentages that each agricultural commodity has dipped based on their current prices:

Cotton -60%, Cocoa -37%, Sugar -35%, Wheat -33%, Corn -25%, Coffee -23% Soybeans -21%, Orange Juice -13%. Average: -31%

After dipping, here are their current gains from their lows in 2010 to their current prices:

Coffee +86%, Corn +84%, Sugar +71%, Orange Juice +43%, Wheat +40%, Cotton +37%, Soybeans +24%, Cocoa -6%. Average +47%

Here are the gains these agricultural commodities made from their lows to their highs during the 1970s inflation crisis:

Sugar +2,480%, Cocoa +1,095%, Orange Juice +588%, Coffee +525%, Soybeans +435%, Wheat +404%, Cotton +311%, Corn +265%. Average +763%

Gains these agricultural commodities need to make from current prices to reach the same percentage gains from the 1970s, beginning from their lows in 2010:

Sugar +1,412%, Cocoa +1,169%, Orange Juice +384%, Soybeans +330%, Wheat +260%, Coffee +236%, Cotton +200%, Corn +98%. Average +511%

Gains agricultural commodities need to make from current prices to reach their 1970s highs adjusted for inflation based on the CPI:

Sugar +1,126%, Cocoa +728%, Soybeans +473%, Cotton +443%, Coffee +441%, Wheat +420%, Orange Juice +348%, Corn +200%. Average +522%

Gains agricultural commodities need to make from current prices to reach their 1970s highs adjusted for inflation based on the real rate of price inflation:

Sugar +4,203%, Cocoa +2,810%, Soybeans +1,914%, Cotton +1,809%, Coffee +1,800%, Wheat +1,726%, Orange Juice +1,473%, Corn +954%. Average +2,086%

NIA will be releasing many additional extremely important agriculture updates in the weeks and months ahead.

Important NIA Update - correction

2011-11-17T05:29:00.001-05:00

We would first like to quickly correct a small typo in our last alert. The third sentence in the eighth paragraph should have read, "It is amazing how absolutely nobody in the mainstream media is accusing Corzine of doing anything wrong, when $600 million in funds is still missing weeks after MF Global filed for bankruptcy." We mistakenly used the word "excusing", when we meant to say "accusing".

A major development took place today related to two of NIA's stock suggestions, including our latest stock suggestion Mines Management Inc. (MGN).

NIA's previous stock suggestion Revett Minerals Inc. (RVM) today announced that it has received an affirmative decision from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit relating to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) appeal filed by the Rock Creek Alliance and other environmental groups. The Court affirmed "the Fish and Wildlife Service's determination that the mine would entail "no adverse modification" to bull trout critical habitat and would result in "no jeopardy" to grizzly bears was not arbitrary, capricious, or in violation of the Endangered Species Act."

NIA first suggested RVM on March 22nd, 2010, at $1.9975 per share. In our initial report about RVM, we told you in regards to their Rock Creek project that "if the judge issues a negative decision, we could see a short-term sell off in the stock."

Just one week later on March 30th, 2010, RVM announced that "the Forest Service's decision to approve the Rock Creek Mine Project is vacated, and the 2003 Record of Decision and 2001 Final Environmental Impact Statement are set aside and remanded to the Forest Service for further action consistent with the Court's forthcoming opinion."

On March 30th, 2010 after this negative news, RVM dipped to a low of $1.50 per share, but we told you "the odds are in RVM's favor that the project will eventually proceed" and that RVM's temporary decline in share price was a "blessing in disguise for NIA members."

Today, after RVM's very positive court ruling, which makes it likely that their Rock Creek project will proceed like NIA predicted, RVM gained 26% to $5.35 per share. RVM reached a high today of $5.90 for a gain of 195% from NIA's suggestion price!

This news is also very significant for NIA's brand new stock suggestion Mines Management Inc. (MGN). In fact, MGN started to rally after RVM's announcement. MGN finished today up 11% to $2.13.

MGN's Montanore Project is located right next to RVM's Rock Creek project! If RVM is able to proceed with Rock Creek it makes it very likely that MGN will be able to proceed with their Montanore Project as well!

MGN's Montanore Project has a resource base of more than 230 million ounces of silver and nearly 2 billion pounds of copper! MGN, to the best of our knowledge, has the lowest valuation per ounce out of all publicly traded silver exploration companies in the world today!

MGN has $21.98 million in cash and no debt. With only 28.74 million shares outstanding, MGN's market cap at $2.13 is only $61.22 million. If you subtract MGN's cash from its market cap, MGN has an enterprise value of only $39.24 million.

With an enterprise value of only $39.24 million and a resource base of 230 million ounces of silver, that equals a valuation of only $0.17 per ounce! Silver is currently $34 per ounce, meaning that MGN's silver resource base is currently being valued at only 1/2 of 1% the price of silver! No other public silver company we are aware of has a silver resource valuation that is anywhere close to MGN's low valuation!

RVM gained from our suggestion price of $1.9975 to a high today of $5.90 for a gain of 195% and we believe MGN has the potential to make similar gains from our recent suggestion price of $1.92!

NIA's two most recent new stock suggestions before MGN were OPTT and MGP, and they made gains as high as 135% and 151% respectively from NIA's suggestion prices. NIA will not be releasing any new stock suggestions until MGN rises to substantially higher levels.

NIA's suggestion of MGN is completely unbiased. NIA does NOT own a stake in MGN. NIA is NOT being compensated in any way for its suggestion of MGN.

MF Global Steals from NIA's Friend Gerald Celente

2011-11-16T18:02:00.001-05:00

NIA's most popular guest who has been featured in many of NIA's previous documentaries is Gerald Celente, President of the Trends Research Institutute and editor of the Trends Journal, which you can subscribe to by going to http://www.trendsresearch.com. Celente has been bullish on gold for a long time and has been trading gold since 1978. His strategy is to accumulate gold futures until he owns enough to take delivery of the physical gold. He then holds on to the physical gold for the long-term in order to preserve the purchasing power of his savings.

Celente has a futures account with Lind-Waldock, a division of MF Global Inc. Celente had been accumulating December gold futures and was planning to take delivery of the physical gold next month. Last Monday, Celente received a call from his broker informing him that he had a margin call on his gold futures. Celente thought this was impossible because he knew that he had plenty of funds in his account to meet the margin maintenance requirements. His broker then told him that his money was with the Trustee now and unless he immediately sent over a large amount of cash, his positions would be liquidated.

The Trustee, in coordination with the CFTC, SIPC, and the CME, transferred over 17,000 customer accounts from MF Global to R.J. O'Brien. However, the Trustee only transferred about $1.55 billion or approximately 62% of the $2.5 billion in collateral that MF Global clients had. According to R.J. O'Brien, the accounts they received had only 75% of the margin maintenance requirements related to their accounts. This meant that every single MF Global client was now faced with a margin call and had to deposit additional funds to bring their accounts above R.J. O'Brien's initial margin requirement.

Many gold investors are buying gold to protect themselves from hyperinflation, which could hit the U.S. as soon as next year. Most of these people only keep enough of their wealth in U.S. dollars to pay their short-term bills and aren't in a position to wire over a huge amount of cash the next day. Therefore, most former MF Global clients have seen other people enter into their own personal accounts and sell their assets in recent days.
MF Global's CEO for the past two years was Jon Corzine, who made his fortune as CEO of Goldman Sachs and went on to become governor of New Jersey. Corzine should know a thing or two about taking major risks. After all, Corzine was one of the Wall Street CEOs that helped orchestrate the bailout of Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM) in 1998 after LTCM borrowed 97% of the money that they invested heavily into Russian sovereign debt that Russia defaulted on.

MF Global, with Corzine at the helm, invested $6.3 billion into the bonds of Italy, Spain, Belgium, Ireland, and Portugal. These bonds were set to mature next year and Corzine thought that as long as none of these countries defaulted on their debt, MF Global would make a large profit. Corzine apparently agreed with NIA's viewpoint that the ECB is likely to bailout any large eurozone countries and rescue them from default.

Unfortunately, Corzine made the same mistake LTCM did and used leverage of over 40 to 1. MF Global had over $40 billion in assets, but had less than $1 billion in equity. Last month after it was disclosed that FINRA forced MF Global to increase their net capital backing its European sovereign debt position, ratings agencies downgraded MF Global's debt, clients pulled funds from their accounts, and shareholders sold their positions, forcing the company to file for bankruptcy.

There is now $600 million missing from the accounts of MF Global clients. Any brokerage firm is legally required to segregate their funds from the personal funds of clients so that if the firm goes under, their clients' money is safe. It is amazing how absolutely nobody in the mainstream media is excusing Corzine of doing anything wrong, when $600 million in funds is still missing weeks after MF Global filed for bankruptcy. It is impossible for this to have been an honest accounting mistake. These funds are not just going to turn up anytime soon.

Obviously, there must have been some kind of criminal wrongdoing by Corzine. Most likely, this money was used by Corzine to back their European sovereign debt positions as money was flowing out of the firm in its final hours and more funds were needed to be put up to prevent forced liquidations. It is insane how after every news story about MF Global in the mainstream media, they almost always say, "Corzine hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing." You can bet if somebody like Ron Paul was CEO of MF Global, who is against the unconstitutional actions of the Federal Reserve, he would've already been arrested for using the funds of clients. However, if somebody like Ron Paul was CEO of MF Global, not only would he not have used clients' funds for corporate purposes, but his first step after taking over as CEO of MF Global would have been to reduce their leverage and get the firm out of debt.

Corzine is without a doubt directly responsible for the $600 million in missing funds, but because he regularly has $35,800 per plate fundraisers for Obama, he remains free while Celente and other MF Global clients are left wondering if they will ever see their money again. Interestingly, when MF Global had their latest bond offering, it said right in the prospectus that if Corzine was appointed by Obama to become Treasury Secretary and confirmed by Congress, those MF Global investors would receive 1% in extra interest on their bonds. The only good thing that will come out of MF Global's bankruptcy is that Corzine now has no chance of becoming Treasury Secretary and bankrupting our country in less than two years like he did to MF Global and almost did to the State of New Jersey. Unfortunately, the U.S. will likely experience hyperinflation in less than two years no matter who is Treasury Secretary, because we are at a point where our debt can only be paid back through monetization by the Federal Reserve.

ECB Preparing Italy Bailout, Massive Inflation Coming

2011-11-10T16:56:00.001-05:00

ECB Preparing Italy Bailout, Massive Inflation Coming

Italy's 10 year bond yields rose above 7% on Wednesday and economists from around the world are now proclaiming that these interest rates are unsustainable with Italy's national debt now 120% of its GDP. NIA believes the ECB is currently working on their largest bailout in history where they will commit to purchasing over €1 trillion of Italian bonds and bonds of other eurozone countries that are at risk of becoming insolvent. Despite the signals currently being given by the ECB, they will not allow Italy to fail because it will cause a Great Depression throughout the European Union, which will lead to the destruction of the eurozone.

Economists today fail to realize that 10 year bond yields of 7% are normal for not just Italy, but the rest of the eurozone and the United States. If it wasn't for the ECB holding their benchmark interest rate at artificially low levels for over a decade, Italy and other eurozone countries wouldn't have the high levels of debt they do today and they would be able to withstand yields of 7% or higher. The ECB is entirely at fault for the European Debt Crisis and they are about to follow in the footsteps of the Federal Reserve by abandoning their objective of maintaining price stability and keeping inflation low.

German 10 year bond yields declined again today to 1.72% and the spread between Germany and Italy is at a new record of 553 basis points. Germany is benefiting from safe haven buying from investors selling Italian bonds and buying German bonds, but investors will soon realize that German bonds are no better than Italian bonds and the world will dump all Euro denominated bonds.

Bond investors currently expect very little inflation in the eurozone, as seen by Germany's low bond yields. The sole reason for the large spread between German and Italian bonds is Italy's greater risk of default. However, a default by Italy would lead to the failure of Germany's largest banks. Germany knows this but they don't want to raise inflation expectations by making the world think that the ECB will be monetizing Italy's debt. Therefore, Germany is now telling Italy to request aid from the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) if needed.

Unfortunately, the EFSF doesn't have the financial resources to rescue a country the size of Italy. Last week, the EFSF had to cancel a €3 billion auction of 10 year bonds due to a lack of investor interest. On Monday, the EFSF finally had the bond sale, but was met with subdued interest that barely covered the €3 billion in bonds being offered. So far the EFSF has only raised a total of €13 billion through bond sales, but has received €440 billion in guarantees from eurozone countries. If Italy becomes a recipient of EFSF funding, the EFSF will lose one of their largest contributors.

The EFSF is looking to leverage up its €440 billion in funding to over €1 trillion. The European Debt Crisis was caused by too much leverage and debt. It is complete insanity to believe that the EFSF is going to solve the debt crisis when it too is getting deeply into debt and planning to use huge leverage to increase their funds available for bailouts.

There was recently a report that a proposal was made at the G20 summit last week in Cannes for Germany and other leading countries in the eurozone to pool together their foreign currency reserves including their gold reserves to back the EFSF, which would allow it to easily leverage up their funds and raise more money through bond sales. As soon as this report surfaced, Germany immediately announced to the world that they will not be using their gold reserves to boost the EFSF and that their gold reserves are "untouchable".

Germany's unwillingness to use their gold reserves clearly shows that gold is the real safe haven where individuals should store their savings if they want to keep their purchasing power. Investors buying German 10 year bonds with a yield of only 1.72% should ask themselves why Germany is willing to fund the EFSF with Euros but not their gold. Maybe investors will come to their senses and change their mind about buying any Euro denominated bonds.

For the past decade there has been a bond bubble in both Europe and the U.S. where we have seen bond yields at artificially low levels for an unprecedented amount of time. This has caused modern economists to believe that low bond yields are the new normal. When central banks interfere in the free market by manipulating interest rates to artificially low levels, it creates asset bubbles that eventually burst. When asset bubbles burst, the free market takes over and attempts to correct the damage by raising interest rates to extremely high levels, which encourages consumers to reduce their consumption and increase their savings.

NIA believes that over the next five years, 10 year bond yields will reach double digit territory throughout the eurozone and the U.S. The free market wants countries like Greece and Italy to default on their debts and restructure them, which is why their bond yields are rising so high. Although Greece and Italy have the highest debt levels in the eurozone as a percentage of GDP, the whole entire eurozone borrowed too much and has too much debt. Germany and France both know that the failure of Italy will spread to them when German and French banks with Italian debt begin to fail. The EFSF will soon be exposed as a failure itself when it is unable to attract the funding necessary to rescue eurozone countries in need of bailouts. Unless the ECB decides to bailout eurozone countries through the EFSF by buying their bonds, the ECB will be forced to directly monetize debts across the entire eurozone.

Even though the destruction of the eurozone seems imminent, NIA believes it will take time to play out. Most likely, in about two or three months from now the media will begin focusing its attention on the U.S. crisis. When the spotlight is off Italy, their bond yields will temporarily dip back down, but U.S. bond yields will skyrocket. The U.S. national debt is very close to breaking 100% of GDP, which will likely be a catalyst for investors to begin dumping their U.S. dollar denominated assets. The U.S. has unfunded liabilities many times the size of Italy's unfunded liabilities. Including unfunded liabilities, while Italy's total debts are approximately 300% of their GDP, the U.S. has total debts equaling about 600% of its GDP.

Austerity cuts are becoming very common in the eurozone and although citizens still protest them, it has become politically acceptable for politicians in Italy and other eurozone countries to support them. Italy's cash budget deficit as a percentage of GDP is currently only 3.9% and their national debt has been barely growing. The U.S. cash budget deficit as a percentage of GDP is currently 8.7%, more than double Italy, and the U.S. national debt has been growing at a record rate. Americans are used to stimulus over austerity. Members of Congress are too afraid to make necessary spending cuts. The U.S. has a budget deficit from entitlement programs and interest payments on the debt alone.

The supercommittee created by Congress to recommend $1.5 trillion in deficit reductions by November 23rd, so far hasn't agreed to make reductions to any entitlement programs. The Democrats and Republicans have so far only reached consensus on changing the way the government calculates inflation for Social Security cost of living adjustment (COLA) increases. They want to calculate inflation by using a new chain weighted CPI, which will understate inflation even more than the current CPI they use.

Based on how the current CPI has been miscalculating inflation for decades, Social Security recipients today should be receiving approximately triple their current payments. All Americans should be outraged that the government is planning to once again reduce the deficit through deception, when they should be eliminating wasteful government agencies like the Department of Energy, the Department of Education, and the Department of Homeland Security, while bringing our troops home from the middle east and immediately cutting overseas military spending in half so that we have the resources to better protect ourselves at home.

The extremely high levels of debt in both Europe and the U.S. need to be liquidated as soon as possible. If Italy can't sustain itself with 7% interest rates, which is only average on a historical basis, think about how large the crisis will be in the U.S. when interest rates here reach 15% as price inflation spirals out of control. Less than three months ago Italy's interest rates were below 5%. Fundamentally, Italy's economy is the same as it was three months ago, but perceptions in the marketplace change quickly. Today, U.S. treasuries are still perceived to be a safe haven, but this will change 180 degrees in no time.

Just like how the U.S. government understates inflation when calculating COLA adjustments, they also understate inflation when calculating GDP growth. The U.S. recently reported 3Q GDP growth of 1.62% on a year-over-year basis, which used a price deflator of only 2.52%. If they used the real rate of price inflation, they would have reported negative GDP growth. The Federal Reserve just lowered forecasts for U.S. GDP growth in 2012 to between 2.5% and 2.9%, down from a forecast in June of between 3.3% and 3.7%. In order to ensure that we even meet the Fed's new projections, the Fed will soon be launching QE3. NIA predicts that the Fed will use fears of contagion from the European Debt Crisis as their excuse for launching QE3 in the near-future. Combined with massive inflation from Europe as the ECB monetizes debt to save banks with exposure to Italian bonds, gold will soon skyrocket to new all time highs with silver likely beginning to once again outperform gold.

European Debt Crisis Facts and Truth

2011-11-08T19:37:00.001-05:00

European Debt Crisis Facts and Truth

The mainstream media as of late has been focusing its total attention on the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and seemingly has forgotten that we have a much larger debt crisis in the U.S. that hasn't gone away and is only getting worse. Many global economists have been saying in recent weeks that if the European Central Bank (ECB) only went the way of the Federal Reserve, eurozone nations wouldn't be in the desperate situation they are in today. NIA believes that the ECB has already been acting just like the Fed, just not to the same extent.

Mario Draghi just took over as the new President of the ECB and as his first act in office, Draghi lowered the ECB's benchmark interest rate by 0.25% to 1.25%. The ECB's interest rate of 1.25%, while not quite as low as the Fed Funds Rate of 0% to 0.25%, is still very inflationary. The ECB's primary stated objective has always been maintaining price stability and containing inflation. However, with all of the rioting and civil unrest that took place in Greece in response to major austerity cuts, public officials in countries like Spain have been putting pressure on the ECB to abandon their objective to maintain price stability and instead focus on helping fuel growth.

In May of 2010, eurozone countries along with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreed to rescue Greece from default by giving them a 110 billion loan. Of the 110 billion loan, eurozone countries agreed to contribute 80 billion of the funds, including Germany providing 29.3 billion and France providing 22 billion. The IMF agreed to contribute the remaining 30 billion.

Unfortunately for Greece, their bond yields have been skyrocketing and they have been finding it difficult to raise money on their own. Greece is now in need of additional rescue funds. In July of 2011, after Greece's two year bond yield rose as high as 40.46%, European leaders negotiated in Brussels a deal to provide Greece with a new bailout of 109 billion in rescue loans. After this deal was announced, Greece's two year bond yield declined to 25.66% in just two days.

In August, Greece's two year bond yield started to surge once again, surpassing July's high of 40.46%. In mid-September, Moody's downgraded the credit ratings for the eight largest Greek banks, sending the two year bond yield to a new high in September of 84.52%. In early October 2011, Greece raised their 2011 budget deficit estimate as a percentage of GDP to 8.5%, well short of the 7.6% target that Greece promised to meet as a condition of the bailout package agreed to in July.

In late-October, European leaders abandoned their proposal from July and announced a new shocking bailout plan for Greece. Not only did they agree to give Greece new rescue funding of 130 billion, but in an additional part of the agreement, banks holding Greek bonds have agreed to accept a 50% haircut on the money they are owed by Greece. Greece Prime Minister George Papandreou, instead of accepting the deal on his own, announced that he was going to hold a referendum so that Greek citizens can vote on the deal.

Papandreou's proposed referendum infuriated leaders of Germany and France, who expressed their frustrations with Papandreou and threatened to pull the plug on the bailout deal. Greek bond investors once again panicked, sending the two year yield all the way up to a new high of 107.26%. Papandreou later announced that he was canceling the referendum, but still faced calls from the opposition to resign. Papandreou survived a confidence vote this weekend but is planning to soon step down to allow the creation of a new national unity government.

NIA believes that the best decision for Greece and its citizens would be to turn down the new bailout deal and declare bankruptcy. Greece would be best off leaving the eurozone and creating their own fiat currency. The bailouts are doing nothing to help the citizens of Greece, they are only helping the German and French banks that recklessly purchased Greek bonds at artificially low interest rates. If Greece declares bankruptcy, the country won't self-destruct. All of their infrastructure will still exist, but their debts will be eliminated and Greek citizens will enjoy a higher standard of living.

The only good news to come out of the European debt crisis so far is that the banks are willing to accept a 50% haircut on their Greek bonds. If the U.S. is going to survive its debt crisis without creating hyperinflation, it will need to convince its creditors to take an even larger haircut on U.S. treasuries. Unfortunately for Americans, the U.S. will never admit that it can't pay back its debts. The U.S. debt crisis is even worse than Greece, but the U.S. has a printing press that it will use to pay back China, Japan, and our other creditors, which will steal the remaining purchasing power of American citizens who don't have their savings in gold and silver.

The uncertainties and fears surrounding Greece are now spreading to Italy, which saw its 10 year bond yield skyrocket in recent days to a new Euro-era high today of 6.66%. Greece's liquidity problems began last year after their 10 year bond yield rose above 6%. Many people believe that Italy is becoming the next Greece and is now at risk of defaulting on its debt.

Even though Italy's debt to GDP ratio is 120%, the second highest out of eurozone countries behind Greece, Italy's budget deficit as a percentage of GDP is among the lowest in the eurozone at only 3.9%. It is insane for Italy's 10 year bond yield to be 6.66% with the U.S. 10 year bond at only 2.04%. The U.S. has no chance of ever balancing its budget and will likely see its deficit explode to new highs in the years ahead. Italy, on the other hand, could realistically balance its budget if it implements reform measures to cut spending.

NIA believes that Italy's 10 year bond yield is near a short-term peak because everybody has become negative on Italy all at once. It will likely decline back below 6% in the near future as Italy implements more austerity cuts. America's strategy to grow its way out of its own debt crisis will only create massive price inflation without any real economic growth. Before long, U.S. bond yields will surge faster than anybody has ever seen in history. In a few months, the media will forget about Italy and focus their attention on the U.S.

Although a 10 year bond yield for Italy above 6% may be a new high for the Euro-era, Italy's 10 year bond yield averaged well above 6% for many decades before the eurozone was created. Italy made a major mistake by joining the eurozone. Before joining the eurozone, Italy was able to survive even when their 10 year yield reached a high of 13.75% in 1995. After joining the eurozone, Italy was able to borrow money at interest rates that were manipulated to artificially low levels by the ECB. If Italy's bond yields were still being set by the free market this past decade, they would have no where near the level of debt they do today.

Many investors selling Italian bonds are now buying German bonds, because Germany has a low debt to GDP ratio and one of the world's largest manufacturing bases. German 10 year bond yields are now 1.78%, a record 488 basis points below Italy. This huge spread will not last and NIA believes investors are making a mistake by buying German debt over Italian debt. There is no chance of Italy being allowed to default on its debt. If Italy ever gets to the very edge of insolvency, Germany and France will allow the ECB to monetize Italy's debt. If Italy went bankrupt, many of the largest banks in Germany and France would fail. The ECB will not allow this to happen.

As bad as things are in Europe today, with the media making it seem like Euro Armageddon is fast approaching, you would expect the Euro to currently be collapsing on a daily basis. The Euro, which ended last year at $1.34, has risen so far in 2011 to $1.38. This shows that even with all of the inflation being created by the ECB, it is nothing compared to the inflation being created by the Fed. The U.S. is lucky for the European debt crisis because it is taking attention away from our problems and allowing the Fed to secretly prepare QE3 while our bond yields are still near record lows.

NIA Exposes Occupy Wall Street Truth

2011-10-21T14:58:00.001-05:00

NIA Exposes Occupy Wall Street Truth

The Occupy Wall Street movement is gaining tons of momentum and is likely to continue picking up steam in the weeks and months ahead. Americans are angry but they aren't exactly sure what they are angry about and they don't know for sure who they should be angry with. It is easy for them to point their fingers at Wall Street, but Wall Street is in no way responsible for the financial crisis our country has today.

NIA believes that Occupy Wall Street protesters need to be educated to the facts and truth about the U.S. economy and what is truly causing our economic problems. NIA is getting ready to release 'Occupy Wall Street the Documentary', which NIA has produced so that Occupy Wall Street protesters can understand exactly what changes need to be made in America if our country is going to survive the Hyperinflationary Great Depression that will soon hit America and steal all remaining purchasing power that the U.S. dollar still has left.

NIA first saw signs of the protests taking place today back in November of 2009 when we were in Beverly Hills filming our documentary 'The Dollar Bubble'. We were alerted by NIA members to a major protest that was breaking out at the University of California. We went to see it and witnessed a very violent protest of students upset about a 32% increase in college tuition for the next semester.

The UCLA protest showed us just how angry Americans can become about inflation. Because we were forecasting massive food inflation to start breaking out in 2010, we made the prediction that we would see large "End the Fed" protests beginning in 2010. We did see massive food inflation in late 2010, accelerating greatly throughout 2011. However, we overestimated the ability for average Americans to quickly point the finger at the Federal Reserve. We also didn't expect many citizens of foreign countries, especially Arab nations, to begin protesting before Americans did.

About one year after the violent UCLA tuition inflation protest that we witnessed, a larger even more violent tuition inflation protest broke out in London. When Prince Charles' security detail made the mistake of driving him and the Duchess of Cornwall past the area where the protest was taking place, in a vehicle that cost more than what each protester will earn in the next ten years combined, about 50 of the protesters broke through the motorcycle police protecting the Prince chanting "Off with their heads!", beating on the side of their Rolls-Royce with sticks and bottles. Luckily, the car was armored and only suffered minor damages, keeping Prince Charles and the Duchess safe. A Jaguar behind it containing police officers was destroyed to the extent that the officers ended up using car doors from the Jaguar as shields, which still couldn't prevent six of them from being seriously injured.

The food inflation protests that NIA had been expecting for over a year, started to break out in late January of this year in Algeria, with citizens chanting "Bring Us Sugar!" Eight citizens were killed during the protests in Algeria. This quickly spread to a massive outbreak of civil unrest in neighboring Tunisia, where thousands protested food inflation and high unemployment. The Tunisian revolution led to the ousting of longtime President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, but came at the expense of 79 protesters being killed.

This rapidly spread to the riots in Egypt. Before the Egyptian protests even began, six Egyptian citizens committed suicide in front of government buildings by dousing themselves with fuel and lighting themselves on fire. All together, 846 protesters were killed across different parts of Egypt and over 6,000 more were injured. The Egyptian protesters were eventually successful at getting Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to resign from office.

NIA saw the resignation of Mubarak as a farce from the beginning. We couldn't understand how thousands of angry Egyptians who were calling for Mubarak's head would within seconds of his resignation announcement erupt into cheers like Egypt had just won the World Cup. The resignation of one man would not eliminate the corruption in Egypt's government and fix their inflation and jobs crisis. Most of Mubarak's cronies are still in power. Mubarak agreed to just take one for the team. For the protesters to declare victory and go home after one man announced his resignation shows that most of the protesters were sheep who were just copying their friends without having a real grasp on the issues affecting the economy in Egypt. What if Mubarak came back on television and said "I was just kidding" or "I just changed my mind and decided not to resign", would the protesters have come back?

After Egypt, the protests spread to Jordan and Yemen. Once again, food inflation was the main root cause of the protests, something that the mainstream media in the U.S. largely ignored when reporting on the protests. The American mainstream media was not allowed to discuss inflation when corresponding about the global inflation protests, because it didn't want the world to connect the dots and realize that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is more responsible for the global food inflation crisis and protests than the leader of any foreign country.

Because of the U.S. dollar's status as the world's reserve currency, the majority of the world's most important agricultural and energy commodities are traded in U.S. dollars. When Bernanke prints trillions of dollars out of thin air in an attempt to reinflate the Real Estate bubble and lower unemployment in the U.S., it has a direct affect on what foreigners pay for all goods and services around the world. With China printing massive amounts of Yuan to keep it pegged to the U.S. dollar and the Bank of Japan intervening to keep the Yen from appreciating too rapidly against the U.S. dollar, countries like Australia are now quick to blame any short-term dip in manufacturing, agriculture production, or energy commodity exports on their currency being too strong against not just the U.S. dollar but the Yen, Yuan, and most other fiat currencies.

In just the last two weeks, the Australian dollar has risen 9.5% against the Yen, 8.5% against the U.S. dollar, and 8.6% against the Yuan. It should be no surprise to NIA members that attempts to copy "Occupy Wall Street" in Australia have been dismal. After 1,000 protesters initially showed up in Sydney on Saturday for their own "Occupy Wall Street" protest that was supposed to continue "indefinitely", less than 50 protesters remained on Monday as most people returned to work. Australia doesn't have an inflation or unemployment crisis because their central bank did the right thing and raised interest rates to 4.75% at a time when everybody else was lowering them. This is why since the inception of NIA we have always suggested Australia as our top choice for Americans to move to if they want to get out of harms way before hyperinflation hits the U.S. We hope that the Reserve Bank of Australia will continue to do the right thing and ignore calls from all around the world for them to lower rates.

The mainstream media is currently once again focused on the financial crisis in Europe, which is temporarily distracting from the debt crisis that really matters in the U.S. On Halloween, the official U.S. national debt for the first time ever will surpass U.S. GDP. At any time now without any warning or any new catalyst, we could see a huge onslaught of dollar dumping that causes the economic equivalent of 9/11.

There is no hope of preventing hyperinflation in America when President Obama is unwilling to consider any measure that would cut government spending in a meaningful way. In August when the Budget Control Act of 2011 was enacted by Congress, the mainstream media was widely reporting that the "supercommittee" formed by the act would be in charge of finding $1.5 trillion in spending cuts by Thanksgiving. In reality, this "supercommittee" that Obama was so heavily relying on to pay for his proposals in his "jobs bill", is not responsible for finding $1.5 trillion in spending cuts but only a $1.5 trillion reduction in the budget deficit over 10 years.

Obama promises to veto any proposals that make large spending cuts, especially to entitlement programs. Many Democrats are calling for a new 5% "surcharge" on Americans earning over $1 million per year. Within a few years, an annual income of $1 million will only have the purchasing power of what a $100,000 salary has today. This proposed new tax would discourage small business owners from expanding and hiring new employees. It would destroy any remaining hope that is left for a real economic recovery and encourage most American entrepreneurs to leave the country permanently.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) yesterday released their consumer price index (CPI) data for the month of September. The BLS reported year-over-year CPI growth of 3.87%, the highest rate of U.S. price inflation in three years. The official government reported year-over-year U.S. price inflation rate of 3.87% for September was up from 3.77% in August, 3.63% in July, 3.56% in June, 3.57% in May, 3.16% in April, 2.68% in March, 2.11% in February, 1.63% in January, 1.5% in December, and 1.1% in November. Year-over-year increases in the CPI have risen by 252% over the last ten months.

Even year-over-year core-CPI growth rose for the 11th straight month to 1.97% in September, an increase of 223% from year-over-year growth of 0.61% in November. NIA estimates the real rate of U.S. price inflation to currently be 8.5% on a year-over-year basis. It was just announced that American retirees receiving Social Security will receive a 3.6% COLA increase, the first increase since 2009. Social Security is the main reason the U.S. government reports artificially low CPI numbers. By giving retired Americans only a 3.6% Social Security payment increase when real price inflation is now 8.5%, Congress gets to spend the difference in the ways they see fit.

With inflation spiraling out of control, the government knows that they soon won't be able to afford even the artificially low COLA increases they are making today. Congress is now exploring ways to keep future COLA increases as low as possible. Many clueless Keynesian economists in Washington are now arguing that the inflation measure the government uses to calculate COLA increases, the CPI-W, is overestimating true increases in the cost of living. These economists claim that Americans can shift between items and if veal prices are rising too much, they can eat chicken or if lobster prices are rising too much, they can eat shrimp. They propose that the government switches to a version of CPI that accounts for these changes, called "chain weighted" CPI.

All Americans know that their cost to maintain the same standard of living has increased by a lot more than 3.6% over the past year. The CPI-W being used today already artificially understates inflation so much that current Social Security recipients deserve to be receiving triple their current payments. If "chain weighted" CPI was being used today, American seniors would only receive a 3% COLA increase next year.

If the U.S. government did the right thing and invested all FICA tax receipts into gold, it would be able to give Social Security recipients an increase next year of around 8.5% like they should be entitled to. American seniors are being hurt most by inflation because health care has consistently had the highest rate of inflation out of all goods and services. A COLA increase of 3.6% is nothing when NIA estimates the real rate of health care inflation to currently be 15% or 76.5% higher than the overall real rate of price inflation. To artificially lower COLA increases even more would mean utter devastation to the U.S. economy as seniors would need to reenter the workforce and Americans with jobs would need to stop spending money on goods and services in order to help their parents. This would mean even less jobs for the youth in America and less support for them from their parents.

NIA Inflation Update and Exclusive China Report

2011-09-19T18:03:00.001-05:00

NIA Inflation Update

The official CPI based price inflation rate on a year-over-year basis rose again in the month of August to 3.77% compared to 3.63% in July, 3.56% in June, 3.57% in May, 3.16% in April, 2.68% in March, 2.11% in February, 1.63% in January, 1.5% in December, 1.1% in November, and 1.17% in October. From the low in November, year-over-year CPI growth has increased by 243%!

Inflation is now spreading beyond food and energy and to the areas the Fed focuses on with core-CPI, which deceptively excludes food and energy. Core-CPI has now risen 10 months in a row and core-CPI is about to break the Fed's unofficial 1.5% to 2% target range, which will hopefully convince the Fed to finally believe there is an inflation crisis, something NIA members knew back when the Fed was still worried about deflation.

Core-CPI was up 1.95% in August on a year-over-year basis compared to 1.77% in July and 1.64% in June. Because the BLS likes to round all CPI numbers, core-CPI on a year-over-year basis is now officially 2% and at the top end of the Fed's unofficial target range. Back in October of 2010, year-over-year core-CPI growth reached a low of 0.6%.

From October until today, core-CPI growth on a year-over-year basis has risen from 0.6% to 1.95% for a gain of 225%. From October until today, regular CPI growth on a year-over-year basis has risen from 1.17% to 3.77% for a gain of 222%.

Changes in year-over-year core-CPI growth excluding food and energy were actually higher since October than changes in year-over-year regular CPI growth, which shows that the Fed will soon no longer be able to ignore skyrocketing price inflation. NIA believes real U.S. price inflation now exceeds 8% on a year-over-year basis.

Exclusive NIA China Stock Report Coming

NIA believes there is a once in a lifetime, very limited time opportunity today to enter China stocks trading on major U.S. exchanges at artificially low fire sale prices. Most China stocks that trade in the U.S. are down between 50% and 90% from their 52-week highs and they are almost all at or near 52-week lows. NIA has been spending hundreds of hours of time in recent months researching nearly every single Chinese company that trades on major U.S. exchanges.

We believe that real legitimate Chinese stocks that have been beaten down for no reason, will soon double or triple in value in the very short-term. The purpose of our report is to find these companies set to make massive short-term gains, while exposing the China stocks that could be scams due to major red flags that we have discovered.

The majority of China stocks in the U.S. are real, but there are many Chinese scams out there. NIA's report will be the most important report ever released in world history for investors in Chinese stocks. Those who invest into the right Chinese stocks that are artificially low for no reason can make a huge fortune in the short-term. However, it is important to avoid companies that could have major accounting problems down the road.

NIA's report will feature many China stocks in the U.S. that have P/E ratios as low as 1 or 2. NIA's report will feature many China stocks in the U.S. that are trading below cash and for well below working capital and shareholder equity. NIA's report will tell you which of these companies are for real with the potential to gain thousands of percent this decade, and which of these companies could be scams that will crash to zero.

If you would like information on how you can receive this exclusive report coming early this week, please visit the following link and join this special email list we have setup: http://inflation.us/exclusivechinareport.html

Chinese stocks at near 52 weeks lows!

2011-09-17T05:40:00.001-05:00

Over the past few months, NIA has spent a countless number of hours researching nearly every single Chinese stock that trades on U.S. exchanges. Chinese stocks in the U.S. today are more beaten down and undervalued than any type of stock in history. NIA is aware of many real Chinese companies trading below cash, with P/E ratios as low as 1, and with rapidly growing revenues and profits.

NIA is in the process of writing what will by far be our biggest stock suggestion report of all time. NIA's exclusive new report is going to rank nearly every single Chinese stock in order from the Chinese stocks that we believe are the most risky, to the Chinese stocks that we believe are the most undervalued with the greatest potential to make monster percentage gains.

The overwhelming majority of Chinese stocks are currently trading at or near 52-week lows with most Chinese stocks down between 50% and 90% from their 52-week highs. NIA believes that we will soon see dozens of Chinese stocks double or triple in value within just weeks. There are dozens of legitimate Chinese stocks at artificially low levels and these fire sale prices for Chinese stocks will not last for long. In our opinion, we could be days away from a massive short squeeze in all legitimate Chinese stocks that have fallen for no reason.

NIA's report will also expose what Chinese stocks are "too good to be true" with red flags and potential accounting irregularities. Our unbiased report will expose the companies that we believe investors should avoid because they could be scams.

As Warren Buffett likes to say, to become wealthy you need to buy when investors are fearful and sell when investors are greedy. NIA is 100% sure that we have reached a capitulation point in Chinese stocks. It is impossible for the investment community to become any more fearful about Chinese stocks that trade in the U.S. than they already are today. Although NIA is not an investment advisor and doesn't provide investment advice or any buy or sell recommendations, NIA believes that those who buy the right Chinese stocks today that have been beaten down artificially low for no reason, stand to make the biggest short-term gains on a percentage basis ever before seen in stock market history.

The Truth About Obama's Jobs Bill, more lies and deception

2011-09-10T09:04:00.001-05:00

The Truth About Obama's Jobs Bill

On Thursday evening, President Obama gave a speech to a joint session of Congress discussing the jobs situation here in America. The purpose of Obama's speech was to convince the American public and their elected representatives in Washington to support Obama's new $447 billion 'American Jobs Act', which has a cost that is 49% larger than the $300 billion act most people were expecting. NIA believes this bill will do nothing to reduce unemployment in America and that it is nothing but another stimulus bill in disguise that will add to our budget deficits.

Obama's bill proposes a $4,000 per employee tax credit for businesses that hire somebody who was previously unemployed for 6 months or more, at a cost of $8 billion. At the same time, Obama wants to extend emergency unemployment compensation (EUC), which allows Americans who have exhausted standard unemployment benefits that last for 26 weeks to continue receiving them for between 20 and 53 additional weeks. EUC benefits are set to expire at the end of 2011 and continuing them through the end of 2012 will cost U.S. taxpayers $49 billion.

It is totally absurd for Obama to give employers money to attempt to hire people he is simultaneously paying to stay out of work. What makes this even more outrageous is that employers have an incentive not to hire recently laid off workers, when only those unemployed for 6 months or more will bring them a $4,000 check. If this bill is passed it will make the unemployment situation in America far worse than it already is.

NIA has heard from members who own farms and have positions on their farms available, but can't find anybody interested in working for them and filling the available positions. Every time they hire somebody to work on their farm, the worker purposely does a poor job and tries to get fired. Their sole purpose of getting a job is to convince their local unemployment agency that they are trying to find employment so that they can keep receiving unemployment benefits, when in reality they are trying to take advantage of the system.

Obama is right that any future recovery will be driven by our businesses and our workers, but if Washington wants to make a positive difference the only step it should take to improve our people's lives, is get out of their lives. It is impossible for any piece of legislation including Obama's 'American Jobs Act', to improve the employment situation here in America. Obama needs to remove any government programs already in place that interfere with the free market. NIA believes that if the U.S. eliminated all unemployment benefits and also got rid of the minimum wage, it would cause the unemployment rate to return to healthy levels.

U.S. employees earning up to $106,800 annually currently pay a 4.2% payroll tax that is scheduled to revert back to 6.2% in 2012. Obama not only doesn't want employee payroll taxes to raise back up to the historical level of 6.2%, which went into effect in 1990, but he wants to further reduce them to 3.1% for 2012. The annual cost of this employee payroll tax reduction is estimated to be $175 billion. In an attempt to help small businesses, Obama also wants to cut employer side payroll taxes in half from 6.2% to 3.1% on the first $5 million of payroll, while eliminating employer side payroll taxes for new hires. The annual cost of this employer side payroll tax reduction is estimated to be $65 billion.

NIA believes all payroll taxes should be eliminated. Americans who make payroll tax payments today are paying for other Americans to receive entitlement programs that they will never receive. Social Security and Medicare are already on the verge of insolvency. By the end of this decade, NIA believes Americans receiving Social Security checks will be receiving checks that don't have any purchasing power and aren't worth cashing. Americans would be much better off if they were able to use the money they currently spend on payroll taxes to accumulate physical silver instead. Only Americans with enough savings in physical gold and silver will be able to retire in the future.

Obama's bill also provides $35 billion in state and local government aid, $50 billion in infrastructure repairs, $10 billion for a national infrastructure bank, $30 billion for school modernization and repairs, and $15 billion in housing expenditures. Unfortunately, the jobs Obama's bill will create for construction workers, teachers, veterans, and the long-term unemployed, are only temporary jobs that will vanish after the bill expires, and the money printed to pay these workers will steal from the purchasing power of American workers who already have jobs today. There is no doubt about it that America's infrastructure is decaying and we need to build new roads and bridges, but this is something that we can't afford to do until we return to an economy that is based on production instead of consumption.

We need to return to a trade surplus and begin paying off our debt before we can afford to make investments into infrastructure. China can afford to build newer airports and faster railroads because they have a $254 billion trade surplus and $3.2 trillion in foreign exchange reserves that they are better off spending on infrastructure improvements than keeping parked in U.S. dollars that will soon be worthless.

Obama says that everything in his bill will be paid for, but NIA wonders how? The government is claiming this isn't another stimulus bill and Obama didn't mention the word stimulus once during his speech. The truth is, NIA believes all of the measures in this bill will have to be paid for by borrowing and printing money, which will increase our budget deficit, expand the money supply, and lead to massive price inflation.

The jolt that Obama is trying to give to the economy he admits has stalled, is the same economy he tried to jolt with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which put the U.S. $787 billion deeper into debt. NIA said at the time this stimulus bill was passed that when it failed to produce the results the government said it would, instead of admitting that stimulating the economy failed and reversing course, they will say the stimulus didn't work because it wasn't big enough and attempt to pass further stimulus bills by making new false promises.

Obama is lying to the public just like Congress recently did in regards to its bill to raise the debt ceiling. Congress deceived Americans into believing that in return for raising the debt ceiling so that the government can continue operating as it is today, "spending cuts" would be made to lower future budget deficits. These so called "spending cuts" turned out to be minor reductions to very large spending increases, with even these minor reductions not beginning until early 2013. Government spending is set to rise every single year until the dollar doesn't have any purchasing power left.

Obama said in his speech last night that, "while corporate profits have come roaring back, smaller companies haven't." The reason this is true is only the largest banks and the companies they do business with have direct access to the Federal Reserve's cheap and easy money. If the Fed didn't bail out all of the banks on Wall Street that made risky leveraged up bets with other people's money for the sole purpose of paying their employees huge bonuses, smaller banks would have acquired their assets in bankruptcy court for pennies on the dollar and be prospering today. Instead, small banks that made sound decisions were punished for doing the right thing. The Fed has made it even more difficult than ever for them to compete with the large banks that should be out of business.

If the Fed and Treasury didn't bail out Wall Street, the world wouldn't have come to an end like former-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson conned everybody into believing. The truth is, we would be better off today because the bad assets would have been liquidated. The bad assets that caused the financial crisis of late-2008/early-2009 still exist today. The main difference between back then and now is, the size of the Fed's balance sheet has doubled to $2.862 trillion due to the toxic assets they purchased, and the world is now flooded with excess liquidity of U.S. dollars.

It is impossible for the U.S. not to feel the consequences of the money we squandered fighting wasteful wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and maintaining military bases all around the world. It is impossible for the U.S. not to feel the devastating effects of interest rates that have been left artificially low for way too long. When you have an artificial boom, that boom will eventually go bust and the more that is done to prop a phony economy up that is built on U.S. consumers spending money they don't have, the harder the economy will fall in terms of high unemployment, high inflation, and a total lack of purchasing power that will cause a permanent decline in the U.S. standard of living.

The fact that Obama felt the need to demand that Congress pass his bill 17 times in 1 speech, shows that nothing positive will come out of this bill for the average American citizen. The only people who will benefit from this bill are bankers on Wall Street who are in line to earn huge fees on the infrastructure deals that get funded by the new national infrastructure bank. While the official U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) unemployment rate in August was 9.1%, down from its peak in October of 2009 of 10.1%, the real rate of unemployment including both short and long-term discouraged workers is now 22.8%, up from 22% in October of 2009 and a new high since the Great Depression in 1933. By further impeding the free market, Obama's bill will further misallocate what little resources Americans still have left before hyperinflation arrives.

It is important to spread the word about NIA to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, if you want America to survive hyperinflation. Please tell everybody you know to become members of NIA for free immediately at: http://inflation.us

College is a SCAM, OH dont you know it?!?

2011-09-07T05:33:00.001-05:00

NIA is thrilled to announce that its latest critically acclaimed documentary 'College Conspiracy' just broke 2 million views! NIA's new economic documentary is now 90% complete and it promises to be the most informative and educational documentary ever produced about the U.S. economy! The new and much improved 'NIAnswers' along with NIA's latest update to its unbiased gold and silver seller review will launch coinciding with the new documentary! Stay tuned to NIA's email updates for very important details in the weeks to come!

'College Conspiracy' contained a countless number of priceless economic facts and statistics related to the college education industry, which besides the U.S. Treasury and U.S. dollar bubble, in our opinion is the largest bubble left in the U.S. today. NIA made many predictions in the movie about the upcoming collapse of the college bubble and how student loan default rates will soon skyrocket with college enrollments plummeting at the same time. NIA's goal is to not only prepare Americans for hyperinflation and educate Americans to the facts and truth about the real economic crisis ahead, but to help Americans learn how to prosper and become wealthy while the rest of America goes broke.

On June 24th, NIA released an exclusive private options suggestions report to a select group of NIA members who made a contribution to our organization to help fund our operating expenses. NIA's report contained 8 options suggestions and we rated each option in the report between 1 and 10, with 10 being our most confident options suggestions. Our report only contained one option that we rated a 10 and it was a put option betting that a student loan provider would see its share price collapse in value. NIA was right, from June 24th until now, the stock of the student loan company has declined 25%, with the put option that we suggested finishing Tuesday up 148% from our June 24th suggestion price.

In this same report there were two options that we rated a 9. One was a put option betting that the stock of the college we consider to be the biggest scam in the industry, would collapse in value from its then level. NIA was right, from June 24th until now, the stock of this college has declined 28%, with the put option that we suggested finishing Tuesday up 191% from our June 24th suggestion price.

NIA's report didn't just suggest put options, but it also contained call option suggestions. The second option that we rated a 9 was a call option betting that a security related to gold would skyrocket in value. NIA was right, this gold related security today reached a new 52-week high up 23% from its share price when we released our report, with the call option that we suggested finishing Tuesday up 206% from our June 24th suggestion price.

Gold on Tuesday reached a new all time high of $1,920 per ounce!

NIA's latest public stock suggestion is a gold stock Mega Precious Metals (TSX Venture: MGP) that we suggested on May 18th at $0.37. A short time after our suggestion, MGP announced a 47% increase in its resource base with a large amount of its inferred gold being upgraded to the measured and indicated categories. MGP went on to reach a high on August 15th of $0.93 for a gain of 151%, making it the best performing gold stock during that time period compared to the average junior gold stock only gaining 2%!

At some point this month, MGP is expected to release the resource update for their North Madsen property. We expect to see MGP once again report a very large increase in its gold resources, with a lot more of its inferred gold being upgraded to the measured and indicated categories! At its current price of $0.68, MGP appears to us to be at a short-term bottom and could be setting up to make its next major run back up to new highs, especially if their North Madsen resource update, which could be released any day now, shows a large increase in gold resources along with major upgrades!

NIA's latest private stock suggestion has been the biggest percentage gainer out of all agriculture stocks since we suggested it seven weeks ago! NIA recently discovered both the biggest short-term gold stock gainer and the biggest short-term agriculture stock gainer, during one of the toughest periods in Wall Street history to make money in the stock market!

There is no stock on any U.S. exchanges that is hotter right now than NIA's favorite agriculture stock suggestion and largest stock holding, which as of Tuesday's close has increased on 11 of the last 11 trading days with a total percentage gain during the last 11 trading days of 166%! NIA believes the stock is still a steal because it is trading for below the value of the shares they hold in a major foreign agriculture company. In fact, another even larger foreign agriculture company with nearly $10 billion in annual revenues recently made a $20 million investment to acquire a small stake in one of our agriculture stock suggestion's subsidiaries.

The transaction values our stock suggestion's remaining stake in the subsidiary at a large premium to its market cap at the current share price and that is not including any value at all for their many additional subsidiaries. Once you add in the value of their additional subsidiaries and the assets owned by them, including the value of their technology for producing a special kind of seed you can eat that has been recently winning prestigious awards at national industry leading conferences, we consider this to be the most undervalued agriculture stock in the world today from a fundamental standpoint with the best chance of becoming a huge winner that increases in purchasing power and makes shareholders wealthy during U.S. hyperinflation!

Because of the large position we hold in this company, NIA has never suggested it publicly and never will. We want our public stock suggestions to all be completely unbiased. On July 19th, NIA did send out an "Important NIA Update" alert informing NIA members that if they wanted to learn about this company, they could subscribe to a special email list for more information and details. A few days later, NIA profiled the company to a small exclusive group of NIA members who each made a contribution to help fund our operating expenses. Since that time, NIA increased its position in the company by 51%. We expect the company to soon file their new annual report and report a near 100-fold increase in its annualized revenues.

Please remember that NIA is not an investment advisor and you should never make investment decisions based on anything we say. NIA never recommends that you buy or sell any stock or option. Investing in stocks and options is extremely risky and you should never invest what you can't afford to lose. Our coverage of MGP is completely unbiased. We don't own any MGP shares and have never bought or sold a share of it. We have never received any form of compensation whatsoever for our coverage of MGP or any of our stock suggestions. NIA is gaining nothing financially for its coverage of MGP or any of its public stock suggestions. Our legal disclaimer: http://inflation.us/legaldisclaimer.html

NIA Agriculture Report Update

2011-09-02T05:42:00.001-05:00

NIA in July announced its favorite agriculture stock suggestion to an exclusive group of NIA members who made a contribution to help fund our operating expenses. Not only is this stock NIA's favorite agriculture stock suggestion, but it is NIA's largest stock holding. We promised to keep NIA members who didn't contribute and learn about this company, up-to-date with information on how this stock is performing. NIA's largest stock holding and favorite agriculture stock suggestion was very volatile in late-July and early-August. After initially making a large short-term gain, it then sold off with the rest of the market and dropped below the price where NIA purchased its position. NIA never sold a single share during the stock's initial rise because we know with 100% certainty that the true value of the company is many times higher and the stock will reach its true value very soon. When the stock sold off with the rest of the market, we considered ourselves to be blessed. We never thought in a million years that we would have the opportunity to accumulate more shares for below our initial purchase price and average down. Because we are so confident about this stock, we increased our position by 51%! This was a big risk for us because if we were somehow wrong and the stock kept falling, there is a chance that our organization wouldn't have had the funds to continue operating. However, if we were right, we would have the financial resources to launch many new services in 2012 along with a massive nationwide television advertising campaign to help spread our message and educate as many Americans as possible about how to prepare for hyperinflation and not only survive, but prosper during what will be the worst financial crisis to ever hit our country! NIA is very proud to announce that as of the close of trading on Thursday, our largest holding and favorite agriculture stock suggestion has now gained 9 trading days in a row! That's right, this stock has gained 9 out of the last 9 trading days for a total gain during the last 9 trading days of 101%! NIA is extremely happy to inform you that the stock closed Thursday at its highest close since NIA purchased its position and suggested it to an exclusive group of NIA members! Both the Dow Jones and Nasdaq are still down substantially from late-July and haven't recovered their losses. Not only did NIA's agriculture stock recover its losses, but it went on to make impressive gains. You can trust us that this stock isn't done running yet! Its biggest gains could potentially come between now and the end of 2011!

This agriculture company is about to go from having approximately $4 million in annual revenues to approximately $400 million in annual revenues, literally overnight! The stock is currently only trading for 1/3 of its book value! In fact, just the shares they own in one single publicly traded foreign agriculture company are currently worth 58% above its current share price. If you add in the value of notes they hold in this same company, their investment in this one single company is currently worth 96% above its current share price. We are referring to what their shares and notes in this company are worth right this second as we speak. It is one of the 50 largest companies on the exchange it trades on!

We are almost 100% sure that our agriculture stock suggestion will continue increasing steadily until it gains another 96% and reaches the value of their investment in this foreign agriculture company. Even after it rises 96%, it will still be extremely undervalued! That's right, at the current price it is a STEAL! After rising 96%, we believe it will still be extremely undervalued!

The only reason we believe this stock is trading so low is because for the past 1 1/2 years, the company had very little contact with the investment community. This has now changed, as they just added new people to the Board of Directors and management team who are focused on being in constant contact with shareholders and keeping them up-to-date with all of their latest developments. In the past week and a half, they have had four positive press releases announcing new huge major developments.

Up until a week and a half ago, an exclusive group of NIA members were just about the only people in the world who understood the truth about this company's assets and fundamentals. Now the word is finally spreading. A share price that is 96% higher than its current price would still give this company no value at all for assets that they own in a country that is becoming the world's new superpower.

For starters, this company has well over 10,000 acres of farmland in this rapidly growing nation that is a large creditor of the U.S. Even at a share price 96% higher, this farmland will be receiving no value.

This company also owns proprietary technology for producing special unique seeds that you can eat. They just won three awards out of four awards that were awarded for the best products in this category based on taste and performance! Over 150 types of seeds that you can eat were considered at this industry leading conference and our stock suggestion overwhelmingly dominated with the best products in the nation! Even at a share price 96% higher, their proprietary technology for producing these seeds will be receiving no value.

This company is currently generating well over $4 million in annual revenues from producing and selling these seeds that you can eat in this rapidly growing wealthy nation. Now that their seeds dominated the industry leading conference by taking home most of the very prestigious awards given out, we expect their revenues in this country to multiply! Even at a share price 96% higher, this business with major revenues and huge growth potential will be receiving no value.

We feel bad for those who didn't contribute to be a part of the exclusive group of NIA members who we informed about this company! It unfortunately is very unlikely that we will ever discover an opportunity this big in the agriculture sector again! We will keep you up-to-date in the weeks and months ahead as this stock continues to skyrocket to where it belongs!

The Largest Bubble in U.S. History

On August 6th after S&P downgraded the U.S. debt rating from AAA to AA+ with a negative outlook, NIA prayed that Americans would not make the mistake of buying U.S. Treasuries as a safe haven. We normally don't pray about economic matters, but only God can save the U.S. economy today as well as investors who have been brainwashed into believing U.S. government dollar-denominated bonds are a safe place to store wealth. Unfortunately, only when hyperinflation arrives will the majority of American citizens realize that fiat U.S. dollars should be used as a medium of exchange only and not a place to store wealth.

Since NIA was launched two and a half years ago, the overwhelming majority of our economic predictions have come true, with many of our accurate predictions being unique only to us. Sometimes we are a bit early with our predictions, but they almost always eventually come true. One of our predictions that we have been wrong about in the short-term, but will be proven right about later this decade, is the collapse of the U.S. Treasury market.

We thought there was a chance that many Americans would once again make the mistake of buying U.S. Treasuries during the recent sell-off of global financial markets, but we were shocked to see the yields of some U.S. Treasuries such as the 10-year bond, decline to new record lows. The yields of many government bonds have fallen through their lows of late-2008, but unlike the liquidity crisis of late-2008 when gold prices declined to a low of $720 per ounce, gold futures on August 22nd reached a new all time nominal high of $1,899.40 per ounce.

NIA likes gold as a bet against the U.S. Treasury market, which we believe is the largest bubble in world history. Any investor buying 10-year Treasuries with a yield of only 2.20% needs to have their head examined. Based on official Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data, year-over-year price inflation in the U.S. is already 3.63%. NIA estimates the real rate of price inflation to currently be approximately 8% and we project real price inflation to reach double-digits next year. NIA finds it very unlikely that the U.S. will be able to survive the next ten years without hyperinflation.

Take a look at the long-term chart of 10-year yields below. After the inflationary crisis of the 1970s, 10-year yields surged to a high in the early-1980s of 14.5%. After inflation began to decline in the mid-1980s, the 10-year yield bottomed at 7% before rising again to 9%. In the 1990s, the 10-year yield averaged around 6.5%.

With the help of NIA's critically acclaimed economic documentaries including 'Meltup', 'The Dollar Bubble', and 'Hyperinflation Nation' that have been seen by millions of people, a larger percentage of the investment community is educated than ever before about the currency crisis that is ahead. We estimate that about 1/10 of our country now finally understands that as long as we are running massive budget deficits with our government making no real attempt to cut spending in a meaningful way, gold will keep increasing in nominal value and the U.S. dollar will continue losing its purchasing power. However, 9/10 of our nation still doesn't understand why they should own gold and would chase after $1,000 in cash being blown by the wind before picking up a 1 oz gold coin lying below them on the ground.

Investors today are buying and selling assets based on what they perceive to be risk assets and safe haven assets. Market volatility is now at a level last seen in March of 2009 towards the end of the last financial crisis. On days with either positive economic news or rumors that Bernanke is getting ready to unleash QE3, stock prices rise while the prices of both gold and U.S. Treasuries fall. On days with either negative economic news or rumors that Bernanke is unlikely to unleash QE3, stock prices fall while both gold and U.S. Treasury prices rise. Investors are buying both gold and U.S. Treasuries as a safe haven. Those buying U.S. Treasuries as a safe haven are doing so based on the market's actions in late-2008 when Treasuries rallied with the stock market collapsing. They fail to realize that every financial crisis is different and the next crisis will be nothing like 2008.

In 2008, we had a crisis due to a lack of liquidity. Today, the world is flooded with liquidity, but most people don't realize it yet because trillions of dollars are being hoarded on the sidelines and not chasing goods and services. Nobody knew for sure in 2008 how the Federal Reserve would react to the liquidity crisis. If the Federal Reserve did the right thing and allowed banks to fail we would have experienced many years of deflation. The Federal Reserve has made it clear that they will print enough money to bailout all major banks or other companies deemed "too big to fail". We are in a situation where the worse the economy gets, the more money the Fed will print and the higher prices of all assets will rise.

NIA predicts right now that over the next 16 months between now and the end of calendar year 2012, we will see the largest short-term increase in 10-year bond yields on a percentage basis in history. With CPI growth increasing for eight straight months and even the Fed's misleading core-CPI growth up 290% since October on a year-over-year basis, investors will soon realize that it is far too risky to own bonds that are paying such low yields.

President Obama yesterday nominated Alan Kreuger to lead his Council of Economic Advisers. We laughed when he heard Obama tell Kreuger that it will be tough for him to fill the shoes of Austan Goolsbee, who recently left his post to resume teaching at the University of Chicago. Whether it be Kreuger, Goolsbee, or Christina Romer (who preceded Goolsbee), they are all Keynesians who believe that more government spending and intervention is the key to bringing down unemployment and having a healthy economy.

Krueger worked in the White House during the first two years of the Obama administration as assistant Treasury secretary for economic policy. Krueger received his Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University and has worked at Princeton University since 1987, where his mail frequently gets mixed up with fellow Keynesian and New York Times op-ed columnist Paul Krugman. Krueger is the author of a book that was written solely to convince readers that having a high minimum wage doesn't cause unemployment. It should be common sense to all NIA members that if the government raised the minimum wage to $50 per hour, unemployment would rise dramatically as most jobs paying wages below $50 per hour would be destroyed. The truth is, eliminating the U.S. minimum wage would create thousands of new entry-level jobs in America and help lower the unemployment rate. Krueger was also instrumental in developing the "cash-for-clunkers" program, which NIA has written about on many occasions as being a monumental disaster for the U.S. economy.

It is absurd how the mainstream media calls Ron Paul an extremist for wanting to eliminate government intervention in our financial markets, reduce government spending, balance the budget, stop the Fed from printing money, and return to sound money. In NIA's opinion, Krueger is the real extremist. If there was no minimum wage and there never was "cash-for-clunkers", many unemployed 17 year old kids who are home on Facebook, could instead be out earning enough money to buy their own used car. The youth unemployment rate is currently double the overall unemployment rate and used car prices are up 20% during the past year, because of the policies supported by Krueger.

The U.S. government used "cash-for-clunkers" to buy phony GDP growth in 2009, stealing from future automobile sales. After the "cash-for-clunkers" program ended, General Motors reported that their sales in August of 2010 declined 25% from sales in August of 2009. NIA predicted on September 1, 2010, that this would lead to a sharp contraction in GDP growth and cause the Fed to unleash the mother of all quantitative easing. Two months later on November 3, 2010, the Fed announced $600 billion in additional quantitative easing.

GDP growth in the 4Q of 2010 declined to 3.14% on a year-over-year basis, down from 3.51% in the 3Q of 2010. GDP growth has continued to decline lower this year to 2.24% in the first quarter and 1.55% in the second quarter (which was just revised downward from an initial estimate of 1.62%). The BLS used a price deflator of only 2.5% in the 2Q. In our opinion, real GDP in the U.S. today is already in negative territory. With it becoming increasingly likely that official year-over-year GDP changes will become negative by the end of calendar year 2011, it is only a matter of time before the Federal Reserve unleashes QE3 in disguise under a new name.

With the Federal Reserve no longer reporting the M3 money supply, the broadest measure of money supply currently reported by the Fed is M2. During the past few weeks, the U.S. has been seeing a very alarming rise in M2. The M2 money supply has risen $228.5 billion over the past four weeks to $9.5218 trillion. On an annualized basis, this equals a 32% increase in M2. Much of this gain can be attributed to people moving funds from institutional money funds and large time deposits into checking and savings accounts. Investors are nervous about the state of our economy and as soon as the investment community begins to realize that the next economic crisis will be a currency crisis, not a liquidity crisis, we will see the world lose confidence in the U.S. dollar and rush out of U.S. Treasuries and into gold, silver, and other real assets.

Facts and Truth About U.S. Inflation, Debt, and Political Crisis

2011-08-20T06:51:00.001-05:00

Facts and Truth About U.S. Inflation, Debt, and Political Crisis

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) yesterday released their consumer price index (CPI) data for the month of July. The BLS reported an increase in year-over-year CPI growth to 3.63%, the highest rate of U.S. price inflation since October of 2008. July's official government reported year-over-year U.S. price inflation rate of 3.63% was up from 3.56% in June, 3.57% in May, 3.16% in April, 2.68% in March, 2.11% in February, 1.63% in January, 1.5% in December, and 1.1% in November.

The official rate of U.S. price inflation has increased by 230% over the last eight months. NIA conservatively projects the official rate of U.S. price inflation to surpass 4% by year-end and 5% in early 2012. NIA estimates the real rate of U.S. price inflation, without geometric weighting and hedonics, to currently be approaching 8%. NIA projects the real rate of U.S. price inflation to reach double-digit territory by mid-2012, if not much sooner.

Gold prices today reached a new all time high of $1,877 per ounce. Gold is the best gauge of inflation, not the CPI. On June 15th when the BLS reported May CPI data, gold was trading for only $1,520 per ounce. Even though the BLS reported a year-over-year CPI increase for the month of May of 3.16%, the mainstream media reported that inflation was slowing down and not a problem because gas prices were declining. Although seasonal adjusted gas prices in the month of May were down 2%, NIA reported to you that non-adjusted gas prices actually rose 3.6%. NIA then warned you that the BLS's seasonal adjustments will reverse beginning in the month of July and start boosting reported gas prices.

NIA was right, seasonal adjusted gas prices in the month of July increased 4.7%. The mainstream media intentionally misled Americans about price inflation during the month of June, but the world is now recognizing the truth about how U.S. price inflation is spiraling out of control with the price of gold having risen 23% since mid-June. The investment community is also finally realizing what NIA has been saying for years, inflation does not create real economic growth.

The Dow Jones declined today by 172.93 points to 10,817.65 and the Dow Jones/Gold ratio fell to 5.84. The Dow Jones/Gold ratio is declining at a faster rate than even we expected. NIA was one of the only organizations in the world to accurately predict that the Dow Jones/Gold ratio would decline to 6.5 in 2011. NIA continues to believe that the Dow Jones/Gold ratio will decline to 1 this decade, which will mean another 83% loss for Dow Jones stocks in terms of real money.

The lower the stock market declines in the near-term, the greater the chances are that the Federal Reserve will soon unleash QE3 in disguise under a new name. Despite gold reaching a new all time high, the core-CPI, which the Federal Reserve likes to use to gauge inflation because it excludes food and energy prices, is currently up 1.77% on a year-over-year basis, compared to an annual gain of 0.61% in October of last year. Even though core-CPI growth appears to still be low, year-over-year core-CPI growth has increased by 290% since October of last year, a larger gain on a percentage basis than the official CPI. Ever since the Federal Reserve announced QE2 in November of last year, core-CPI has increased for nine straight months.

By the time the 2012 Presidential election comes around, inflation will be the top concern on the minds of all Americans. Inflation will be an even bigger concern than unemployment, because nobody will want to have a job that pays them a salary in U.S. dollars. The only Presidential candidate who has the knowledge and courage necessary to preserve what little purchasing power the U.S. dollar still has left is Ron Paul. NIA supports Ron Paul to become the Republican nominee in the 2012 U.S. Presidential election. To become the Republican nominee, Ron Paul will need to win the Republican presidential primaries. Unlike the general election to be held on November 6th, 2012, the Republican primaries are a series of primary elections and caucuses that are spread out over five months beginning in February.

Iowa is always the first state to vote and will have their caucuses on February 6th, followed by New Hampshire on February 14th, Nevada on February 18th, and South Carolina on February 28th. The results of the first few primaries/caucuses usually influence how people will vote in the following primaries/caucuses. It is important for a candidate to build momentum early on. If a candidate doesn't have a strong showing in early primary states, they frequently drop out of the race before all of the primaries/caucuses are completed.

The way the primaries are structured gives voters in early primary states, especially voters in Iowa, a lot of power compared to voters in states like New York who very often don't vote until the nominee has already been determined. About six months before every Iowa Republican primary is the Ames Straw Poll, an unofficial Presidential straw poll that takes place in Ames, Iowa, of who Iowa voters are planning to support in their caucuses. The 2011 Ames Straw Poll just took place on August 13th with Michele Bachmann finishing first place with 4,823 votes and Ron Paul coming in second with 4,671 votes, only 152 votes behind Bachmann.

To attend the Ames Straw Poll and have the opportunity to vote in the poll, attendees were required to purchase a ticket priced at $30. Bachmann gave her supporters 6,000 free tickets at a cost to her campaign of $180,000. Only 80% of the people she gave free tickets to actually voted for her and that's assuming none of the people who bought tickets voted for her. Bachmann didn't just pay for the entrance of 6,000 people who she thought supported her, but she paid a small fortune to have Grammy Award winning country singer Randy Travis perform in a special air-conditioned tent. Bachmann even paid to transport forty bus loads of Randy Travis fans to the event, who were required to register at the Bachmann table and vote before seeing the entertainment.

With Bachmann spending a total of nearly $1 million on this event, she should have won the straw poll in a blow out. Click on the link below to see a shocking video we just posted to the NIA blog of the never ending line of Bachmann "supporters" registering at her table so that they could vote without paying the $30 fee. NIA believes that many of these people pretended to support her in order to get free tickets, but actually voted for Ron Paul: http://inflation.us/blog/2011/08/crazy-video-of-bachmann-ames-straw-poll-line/

The morning after Bachmann's phony victory, she appeared on five different nationwide talk shows. Ron Paul wasn't allowed to appear on any, with both 'Meet the Press' and 'Fox News Sunday' canceling interviews they had scheduled with him. Meet the Press spent the morning talking about Bachmann's win and Tim Pawlenty dropping out of the race after finishing third with less than half of the votes of Bachmann and Ron Paul. They barely mentioned Ron Paul even when he finished in a statistical dead heat with Bachmann.

Even more frustrating and disturbing, the Wall Street Journal published a long article Sunday morning about the race and it focused almost entirely on Bachmann's straw poll win and Rick Perry's entry into the race. The article only had one sentence about Ron Paul that read, “Libertarian Ron Paul, who has no chance to win the nomination, finished a close second.” On Monday morning, Ron Paul was scheduled to appear on NBC’s 'Today' show, but that interview was canceled as well with an NBC official saying it was due to "logistics and timing reasons with the news in Indiana and Somalia."

The mainstream media believes that if they repeat "Ron Paul has no chance of winning" enough times, it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. The same applies to the media constantly referring to Mitt Romney as the front-runner. The media supports Romney because they like how he is a part of the Republican establishment and if elected would stick with the status quo in Washington.

Four years ago when Ron Paul was relatively unknown, Romney was the winner of the 2007 Ames Straw Poll. Rudy Giuliani and John McCain, who were both also seeking the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, chose not to participate in the 2007 Ames Straw Poll. Romney at the time in his own words called Giuliani and McCain cowards. Romney said, "I think if they thought they could have won, they would have been here," and "If you can't compete in the heartland, if you can't compete in Iowa in August, how are you going to compete in January when the caucuses are held, and how are you going to compete in November of '08?"

NIA believes that if Romney thought that he could have won the 2011 Ames Straw Poll, he would have been there. Romney knows that he lost all of his grassroots supporters when he spoke out in favor of the Federal Reserve's destructive monetary policies and said Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke was doing a good job. Romney showed his true colors when he said that the Federal Reserve is a non-issue and that he won't be discussing it during his campaign. He has now proven himself to be a hypocrite who was scared of looking bad by losing to Ron Paul in the straw poll and losing his "front-runner" status that was handed to him by the mainstream media. If Romney was afraid to compete in Iowa this month, NIA sees no chance of him winning in Iowa this February and no chance of him winning the Republican nomination.

With Iowa voters having a lot of power being in the first primary state, Iowa residents have spent more time researching the candidates than residents of most other states. Because Iowa voters are educated on the issues, especially issues affecting the economy, the media knew Ron Paul would have a strong showing in the Ames Straw Poll and for weeks leading up to it ran countless stories designed to downplay the poll and make it seem irrelevant. One Fox News reporter even went as far as saying that winning the straw poll is a negative and makes it nearly impossible to win the nomination. None of these things were said before the poll in 2007 because the media knew their darling Romney would win.

All educated Americans who understand the facts and truth about the U.S. economy and inflation are in strong support of Ron Paul because of his 24 year record in Congress of voting against increases in government spending and taxes, and voting for measures to strengthen our currency and reduce monetary inflation. Ron Paul stands for everything that NIA believes in such as liberty, freedom, and sound money. He has done more to protect the U.S. Constitution than any other person in Washington. Our founding fathers had the foresight 224 years ago to see the economic problems we have today. Even back then, rulers of nations had a history of coin clipping, replacing the silver in coins with base metals, and implementing other measures that stole from the purchasing power of ordinary citizens. Our founding fathers never would have imagined just how easy it has become to create inflation, where now the Federal Reserve with the click of a mouse can credit trillions of dollars to any banking institution worldwide.

For years, the media has dismissed Ron Paul's fight against the Federal Reserve and its destruction of the U.S. dollar. The media calls Ron Paul's ideas radical, but NIA believes Ron Paul is the most sane person in Washington. NIA believes balancing the budget, auditing the Federal Reserve, returning to a gold standard, and bringing our troops home from the Middle East, are all sane ideas that must be implemented if we want to have any hope of avoiding hyperinflation.

Rick Perry, the governor of Texas who just entered the race for the Republican presidential nomination, was recently asked about the Federal Reserve and in response he called Bernanke's acts of printing money "treasonous". NIA was the first to call Bernanke's actions treasonous. Back on December 9th of last year, NIA released an article entitled "WikiLeaks, Bernanke, and Hyperinflation" in which NIA said that it was "deeply disturbed by how U.S. politicians and the mainstream media have been calling for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be charged with treason." Although in no way does NIA support Assange or his actions, we expressed in our article how we don't believe it is a treasonous act to help spread the truth about our country's foreign policy and other sensitive topics when the information he posted was given to him and in no way did he hack any government systems to obtain it.

NIA went on to state in its December 9th article, "If there is one American who deserves to be charged with treason, it is Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke." It is not humanly possible to betray ones country in a way that is more egregious than Bernanke's despicable acts. NIA is currently in the process of producing a sequel to its critically acclaimed documentary 'Meltup', which has received over 1.1 million views with 96% of its viewers "liking" the movie and only 4% "disliking" it, a record for YouTube documentaries at least 50 minutes in length with over 1 million views. NIA's sequel to 'Meltup' will expose the latest updated facts and truth about the U.S. economy, Federal Reserve, and inflation. It will set a whole new standard as the most in-depth, informative, educational, and entertaining economic documentary ever produced. Most importantly, it will expose why Bernanke's actions are indeed treasonous.

As far as Rick Perry is concerned, he is really no different than Romney. Perry like Romney is a governor who was elected to office due to his strong ties to the Republican establishment. Both Perry and Romney according to many media pundits look very Presidential. You will never hear Perry or Romney speak a word about bringing our troops home, repealing legislation that invades Americans' privacy rights without making us any safer here at home, and eliminating entire departments of government including the Department of Education, Department of Energy, Department of Commerce, Department of Health and Human Services, and Department of Homeland Security. These unnecessary bureaucracies have done nothing but add to our budget deficits, without a single success story to justify their existence.

Perry is not a true fiscal conservative. He and his wife complained that the Texas governor's mansion was too small and is now spending $11 million of President Obama's stimulus money to renovate and expand its size. With the construction now taking place at the governor's mansion and Perry unable to live there, Texas taxpayers have so far spent $700,000 to rent him an even bigger Texas mansion and to cover expenses at the mansion including Neiman Marcus window coverings and a subscription to Food & Wine Magazine.

What is unbelievable to us is that Perry for the most part has been a career politician, yet he has somehow managed to become a multi-millionaire while spending nearly all of his time in public office earning a relatively modest salary. Of course, if Perry was elected President, nothing much will change from the Obama administration and within a few years, he might become a multi-billionaire because a billionaire will be the new millionaire. Make no mistake about it, Perry may be trying to differentiate himself from Romney by speaking out against the Fed, but as President of the United States of America, NIA guarantees that Perry wouldn't do a damn thing to limit the Fed's powers and stop it from wiping out both the savings of senior citizens and the purchasing power of their Social Security checks. Perry is already in the pocket of the big banks and we just posted an 11 second video on the NIA blog that proves it: http://inflation.us/blog/2011/08/shocking-video-bank-of-america-executive-offers-to-help-out-rick-perry/

Tomorrow, Saturday, August 20th, is Ron Paul's birthday. To celebrate his birthday and help build momentum for his Presidential campaign, Ron Paul supporters have organized a huge "moneybomb" that starts at midnight tonight. If you would like to give Ron Paul the best possible birthday President and help increase the chances of our nation's survival, please make a donation beginning at midnight tonight by going to: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/

S&P Downgrades U.S. Debt Rating

2011-08-06T06:30:00.001-05:00

S&P just announced late this evening that they have downgraded the U.S. debt rating from AAA to AA+ with a negative outlook.

NIA is absolutely shocked by this. What shocks us is just how long it took them to make this downgrade. Just like how S&P and Moody's didn't downgrade subprime CDOs until the mortgage-backed bonds they held were practically worthless, S&P waited for U.S. debt obligations to reach five times GDP and for the U.S. dollar to lose 84% of its purchasing power over the course of a single decade. The U.S. was a hair away from defaulting on its debt this week if the debt ceiling wasn't raised, yet it still had a AAA rating.

NIA believes that a AAA rating should be reserved for countries that have budget surpluses, low levels of debt that could easily be paid off without printing money, and low levels of inflation. The U.S. had a cash budget deficit last year of $1.3 trillion, but once you include increases to unfunded liabilities, our real budget deficit was approximately $5 trillion. Even if Americans were taxed 100% of their income it wouldn't be enough to balance the budget.

It is hard to imagine a fiscal situation worse than this, but the credit ratings agencies have justified giving the U.S. a AAA rating based on the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency and the Federal Reserve's ability to monetize our deficits and debts by printing money. If it wasn't for our printing press and the world's willingness to accept and hoard the dollars we print in return for the real products and commodities they produce, the U.S. credit rating would be junk.

S&P claims that their reason for downgrading the U.S. debt rating at this time is because, "the differences between political parties have proven to be extraordinarily difficult to bridge". According to S&P, it is because our two political parties are so far apart that we weren't able to pass a bill with anything but modest spending cuts. The reality is, the Republicans and Democrats aren't far apart at all. Neither parties are serious about cutting spending and the underlying fundamentals of both their proposed bills were exactly the same. The Republicans that American tea party supporters elected to office have broken their promises to make major spending cuts and have accomplished absolutely nothing positive since entering office.

Our country just had an unbelievable opportunity to dramatically cut government spending in a last ditch effort to prevent hyperinflation. Instead, our government passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling that had no real spending cuts at all. The mainstream media tried to spin the bill into being a victory for U.S. tea party supporters due to the purported "spending cuts" that it contained. The truth is, government spending is set to rise every single year until the dollar is worthless. The $2.1 trillion in phony spending cuts are only tiny reductions to large spending increases and none of them will begin until early 2013 when we will need to once again raise the debt ceiling. Even if the government in early 2013 decides to follow through with them, rising interest payments on our national debt will mean substantially larger budget deficits than what are projected today.

Credit ratings agencies have absolutely zero credibility left and we believe that with hyperinflation coming soon, credit ratings will become a thing of the past. To capitalize on this, on May 23rd NIA suggested to you put options in the only publicly traded pure credit ratings play, Moody's (MCO). On May 23rd with MCO trading for $37.90, NIA suggested to you MCO November 2011 $35 put options at $1.98. MCO today closed at $32.88 and our MCO put option suggestion finished the day with a last trade of $5.20 for a huge gain of 163% in a little over two months. NIA is very pleased that we figured out the #1 most profitable way to capitalize on the major fundamental shift that is taking place in this industry and as far as we are aware, NIA is the only organization in the world that suggested MCO puts in recent months.

With the stock market down big in recent weeks, NIA believes that this evening's news is already mostly factored into stock prices. With the Fed Funds Rate having been left near zero for over two years, the world is flooded with excess liquidity of U.S. dollars and there is no chance of the stock market crashing like in late-2008/early-2009. In fact, the recent downward move in the stock market means the Federal Reserve is likely to soon implement additional monetary inflation measures and will leave the Fed Funds Rate near zero permanently.

The GDP was already on its way to becoming negative in the second half of 2011 and if the U.S. wants to avoid a debt default later this decade, it needs the Federal Reserve to print enough money to see at least 5% annual nominal GDP growth. It's not just the Federal Government that needs GDP to grow, but most cities and states will default on their debts if GDP doesn't grow rapidly. Cities and states don't have printing presses so unless the U.S. government wants to bail them all out like the European Union is bailing out Greece, Portugal, and Ireland, it needs to create GDP growth even if that means the Federal Reserve eliminating interest payments on the $1.6 trillion in excess reserves held by banks and taxing banks who don't lend the money.

NIA prays that Americans don't make the mistake of buying U.S. Treasuries as a safe haven, as they are now the riskiest asset of all. If U.S. Treasuries rally next week, it will only be temporary and will be followed by the largest and sharpest reversal in history with a crash in Treasury prices and an explosion in yields like never seen before. Most Keynesian economists will likely forecast rising Treasury prices despite the U.S. debt crisis, because they claim the bond markets in other countries are tiny compared to ours and there simply is no other place to park safe haven money. In our opinion, there is no reason to own the fiat currency denominated bonds of any country or company. Gold and silver are the only true safe havens and it is our belief that by the end of this year, the U.S. public will begin investing into gold and silver in droves as they realize that although we avoided a debt default for now, a debt default by inflation is still on its way. The largest ever short-term rally in precious metals and mining stocks is ahead.

Dow Drops 500 on Obama's Birthday

2011-08-04T19:09:00.001-05:00

NIA would like to wish President Obama a Happy Birthday and we hope that he enjoys his birthday present, a more than 500 point drop in the Dow Jones, its largest single day point drop since October of 2008.

The Dow Jones fell today by 512.76 points to 11,383.68, a percentage decline of 4.3%. The Nasdaq declined 5.1% today with the S&P down 4.8%.

The Dow Jones/Gold ratio is now down to 6.9 and is rapidly approaching NIA's prediction for the Dow Jones/Gold ratio to decline this year to 6.5. NIA made this prediction in its top 10 predictions for 2011 on January 4th when the ratio was 8.1.

From an economic standpoint, NIA considers this decline to be a sharp correction due to the world waking up and realizing that the U.S. economic recovery is phony. 1Q GDP growth was recently revised downward by 81% from 1.91% to 0.36%. There is now a strong likelihood of U.S. GDP going negative by the end of 2011, which means the U.S. economy will officially enter a double-dip recession. It is NIA's belief that the recession never ended and we are headed towards a hyperinflationary depression.

From a technical standpoint, NIA believes that today's huge drop was triggered by margin calls. Before yesterday, the market had declined eight days in a row for a total point drop of 857.79. Many investors who didn't have cash to cover these margin calls were forced to liquidate their stock holdings. With all of the U.S. economic uncertainties today, there is a lack of buying in U.S. stocks. Margin call sellers had to take anything they could get for their shares. Some investors were even forced to liquidate their gold and silver in order to cover margin calls, which drove the U.S. dollar and U.S. treasury prices temporarily higher.

If this was late-2008/early-2009, gold would have dropped a lot more than the $7.40 it sold off today. The fact that gold fell so little during a major margin call forced liquidation situation is extremely bullish for where gold is headed by the end of this year.

Today did highlight why for some people gold is better than silver. NIA has always stressed that in order to triple or quadruple your purchasing power this decade by owning silver as opposed to gold, you need to be ready for silver's volatility. Silver's percentage decline today was 13 times larger than gold's percentage decline. For some people, this volatility is simply too much to stomach and they rather just own gold, the safest and most stable asset in the world.

Yesterday evening with the Gold/Silver ratio at 40, we said silver would only slightly outperform gold over the next five months. After today's dip in silver to $38.92 per ounce and rise in the Gold/Silver ratio to 42.4, silver is now a lot more attractive for the short-term than it was yesterday evening.

This stock market correction will not turn into a crash like in late-2008/early-2009. Back then we had a liquidity crisis, but with interest rates today near zero and having been there for over two years, the world is now flooded with excess liquidity of U.S. dollars. Stocks became overvalued in recent months with the Dow Jones/Gold ratio reaching a high on May 5th of 8.36 and were overdue for a large correction. If the stock market continues to fall, we will soon hear from the Federal Reserve who will either unleash QE3 in disguise or act to push the $1.6 trillion in excess reserves of banks into the economy. By the end of 2011, we expect gold and silver stocks to decouple from the rest of the market and for many of them to reach new highs.

NIA's latest gold stock suggestion Mega Precious Metals (TSX Venture: MGP) was one of the only big winners in the market today. MGP gained 7.8% to $0.69 on very strong volume of 809,264. MGP is currently up 86.5% from our May 18th suggestion price of $0.37, while the Dow Jones is down 9.4% during this same time period.

MGP's gold resource base at their Monument Bay project recently grew by 48% to 1.78 million with 592,093 ounces being upgraded from the inferred category to the much more valuable measured and indicated categories. MGP's total gold resource base is now 1.82 million ounces of gold. MGP has about $7 million in cash and no debt. With a market cap of $52.6 million, MGP's enterprise value is only $45.6 million and MGP's gold resource base is being valued at only $25 per ounce or a stunningly low 1.5% of the current gold price of $1,650.

Several huge catalysts are ahead that we believe could send MGP soaring past our highest expectations. In the 4Q of this year, MGP will be announcing its latest Monument Bay 43-101 resource update, which MGP believes could add 300,000 ounces of gold to its measured and indicated resource base and increase the total Monument Bay resource to 2.2 million ounces of gold.

Even sooner, MGP expects to next month release their North Madsen 43-101 resource update. MGP believes that their measured and indicated resource base at North Madsen has the potential to increase nine-fold from 32,511 ounces of gold to 300,000 ounces of gold, and that their inferred resource base at North Madsen could potentially increase two-hundred-fold from 3,416 ounces of gold to 700,000 ounces of gold, for a total resource base at North Madsen of 1 million ounces of gold.

Therefore, between now and the end of 2011 we could see MGP increase their total resource base by another 75.8% to 3.2 million ounces of gold and increase their measured and indicated resource base by another 103% to 1.2 million ounces of gold.

Please remember that NIA is not an investment advisor and you should never make investment decisions based on anything we say. Our coverage of MGP is completely unbiased. We don't own any MGP shares and have never bought or sold a single share of MGP. We have never received any form of compensation whatsoever for our coverage of MGP. NIA will gain nothing financially for its coverage of MGP. We are only trying to help our members learn about a company we believe is undervalued so that our members can do their own research and make their own investment decisions.

Market Update

2011-08-02T18:56:00.001-05:00

Although NIA was praying that the debt ceiling bill would be voted down, we told you that it would definitely pass and today it was approved by the Senate and President.

Even with the debt ceiling bill passed, the world is waking up to the fact that the U.S. economic recovery is phony, which sent the Dow Jones Index down 265.87 today to 11,866.62. With the Dow Jones in decline we can pretty much guarantee that Bernanke is preparing QE3 in disguise, which could set the stage for hyperinflation to arrive sooner than we originally expected.

As we did expect, gold today rose $37.50 to a new all time high of $1,659.20 per ounce and silver was up $1.476 to $40.785 per ounce.

On January 4th with the Dow Jones/Gold ratio at 8.1, NIA predicted that it would make a major decline in 2011 down to 6.5. We are only into the eighth month of the year and already after today's trading the Dow Jones/Gold ratio is now down to 7.15. NIA remains very confident that its forecast for the ratio to reach 6.5 this year will indeed come true.

Also on January 4th with the Gold/Silver ratio at 46, NIA predicted that it would make a major decline in 2011 down to 38. The Gold/Silver ratio is now down to 40.68 and at one point earlier this year NIA's prediction did come true and the Gold/Silver ratio not only declined to 38 but it fell as low as 30.50. When the Gold/Silver ratio reached 30.50 we said that silver got ahead of itself and would dip, which it did. For the rest of the year we expect silver to slightly outperform gold and for the ratio to once again decline to 38.

NIA's latest gold stock suggestion from 11 weeks ago Mega Precious Metals (TSX Venture: MGP) is looking very strong and closed today at $0.59 up 59% from our May 18th suggestion price of $0.37. The Dow Jones is down 5.5% from May 18th until now and not many stocks are up 59% during this time period. We continue to believe that MGP is undervalued with huge long-term upside potential.

Please remember that NIA is not an investment advisor and you should never make investment decisions based on anything we say.

Important Debt Ceiling Update

2011-08-01T09:27:00.001-05:00

Important Debt Ceiling Update

President Obama just announced late this evening that a deal has been reached to cut government spending and raise the debt ceiling in order to avoid a debt default. If the deal is approved on Monday, it will raise the debt ceiling by between $2.1 and $2.4 trillion in three installments: $400 billion immediately, $500 billion this fall subject to a disapproval vote by Congress, and $1.2 to $1.5 trillion more after a special committee agrees on a matching amount of spending cuts that will be in addition to $900 billion in spending cuts proposed in the bill. With no tax increases included in this plan, all of this additional debt will eventually be monetized and paid for through monetary inflation.

Although the deal is supposed to cut as much as $2.4 trillion in spending over the next decade, Obama said that none of the spending cuts will occur anytime soon so that not to derail the phony economic recovery. That's right, none of the cuts will come until early 2013 and by then we will need to once again raise the debt ceiling to north of $20 trillion. If our elected representatives were serious about cutting spending, they would have the bulk of the spending cuts now and not in the future when many of them will be out of office.

This deal is a complete and total sham, and will do nothing to prevent hyperinflation. In no way will these spending cuts be mandated and nothing will force future Congresses to abide by them. Even with these cuts, government spending is going to increase every single year for the next decade. As price inflation spirals out of control in the years ahead causing the purchasing power of the dollar to plummet, all government employees will demand higher salaries and it will cost more to run all parts of the government. Future Congresses will raise spending and make the spending cuts proposed in this deal meaningless.

NIA believes that all of the events that took place in Washington this weekend were scripted in advance. It is likely that both parties knew from the beginning what deal they would ultimately agree to, but came out with these other proposed bills in order to satisfy tea party supporters and make them think that their efforts are making a difference. The reality is, although the tea party movement helped Republicans take over the House of Representatives so that Democrats didn't have free rein in Washington, most of the new Republicans elected to Congress haven't followed through with their promises and have failed to make any kind of a positive difference.

Everybody in Washington assumes that interest rates will remain at artificially low levels for the rest of this decade. The interest rate that the U.S. paid on its total marketable debt in the month of June was only 2.38%. Exactly one decade earlier, in June of 2001, we paid 6.162% interest on our total marketable debt or 159% higher than current average interest rates. On August 15th we owe our next interest payment of approximately $30 billion. Imagine if that payment rises 159% higher to $77.7 billion or $932.4 billion annualized. Later this decade, interest rates will not only rise back to normal levels like we had in 2001, but will likely rise to artificially high levels to balance out the damage being created today from artificially low interest rates.

If this bill is approved by Congress and the President on Monday, it will avoid a short-term honest debt default but just about guarantee a default by inflation later this decade. There is about a 1 in 1,000 chance that future Congresses will stick with the spending cuts in this bill, but even if they do, rising interest payments will not only wipe out the $2.4 trillion in spending cuts, but they will add trillions more to future deficits and the national debt. A new Gallup Poll shows that 53% of Americans oppose raising the debt ceiling compared to only 37% who favor an increase. We pray that millions of Americans march to Washington tomorrow in protest of this bill and that millions more call, email, and fax their elected representatives in the morning demanding that they vote no.

Debt Ceiling Truth

2011-07-31T08:42:00.001-05:00

NIA Exposes Debt Ceiling Truth

NIA hasn't written about the whole debt ceiling issue over the past few weeks because in our minds it is completely irrelevant. Our elected representatives in Washington along with the mainstream media have been wasting thousands of hours of time and hundreds of millions of dollars debating a topic that has no meaning at all. The President, Senate, and House of Representatives are putting on a show to make it look like they care about cutting spending and balancing the budget. Except for a select few elected representatives like Ron Paul who care about protecting the U.S. Constitution and preserving what little purchasing power the U.S. dollar still has left, every other politician in Washington is putting on a complete charade in order to trick their constituents into believing there is a difference between the proposals from the Republicans and Democrats.

While our incompetent and corrupt mainstream media has been proclaiming there are major differences between the two bills proposed by House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, NIA believes John Boehner might as well be a Democrat and Harry Reid could easily pass himself off as a Republican. There are absolutely no meaningful fundamental differences between Boehner's plan that was approved by the House of Representatives yesterday evening, before being killed by the Senate two short hours later, and Reid's bill, which was just rejected by the House today in a pre-emptive vote before the Senate even had a chance to vote on it.

Both bills are estimated to reduce the U.S. budget deficit by approximately $900 billion over the next 10 years. Of the $900 billion only about $750 billion are actual discretionary spending cuts with the rest being an expected reduction in interest payments on the national debt as a result of either bill passing. When you have an unstable fiat currency that is rapidly losing its purchasing power and could collapse at any time, it is impossible to accurately project what our budget deficits will be 5 or 6 years from now, let alone 9 or 10 years from today. As far as the next two fiscal years are concerned, both proposed bills from Boehner and Reid are estimated to only cut spending by a total of about $70 billion in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 combined.

The budget that former President Bush submitted to Congress in early-2007, projected the deficit to decline in each of the following four fiscal years. Not only did the deficit not decline the next four years in a row, but it nearly tripled in 2008 and from there more than tripled in 2009. Shockingly, Bush's budget actually projected a $61 billion surplus in fiscal year 2012, but instead we will have a budget deficit of $1.1 trillion based on President Obama's latest budget, which takes into account unrealistic GDP growth next year of 4.86%.

U.S. GDP growth for the first quarter of 2011 was just revised down yesterday by 81% from 1.91% to 0.36%. The advance estimate of second quarter GDP growth came in at 1.28%, well below the consensus estimate of 1.8%. NIA is going to really go out on a limb and predict that second quarter GDP growth will soon be revised downward as well. If this is the highest GDP growth the U.S. could muster after the Federal Reserve's $600 billion in QE2 money printing, this should prove once and for all that monetary inflation does not create real economic growth and employment.

The U.S. Treasury as of Thursday night had $51.6 billion in cash, with its cash position declining by $15.2 billion during the previous 24 hours. It expects to bring in $172.4 billion from August 3rd through August 31st in tax receipts, but is scheduled to pay out $306.7 billion during this time period for an estimated deficit of $134.3 billion. The U.S. is scheduled to make its next interest payment on the national debt on August 15th and it will equal approximately $30 billion. Over the last 9 months the U.S. has spent a total of $385.9 billion on interest payments on the national debt, which means it is on track to spend a record $514.5 billion this year on interest payments alone. Just a tiny 30 basis point increase in the interest rate on the national debt would totally wipe out the deficit reductions proposed by both Boehner and Reid.

The U.S. Treasury has been able to pay its bills in recent weeks by using many different accounting gimmicks. However, come Tuesday, there will be no more accounting tricks left to play and the U.S. won't be able to meet all of its obligations. Without a raise in the debt ceiling, the U.S. government will have to prioritize who it pays using the tax receipts coming in, which will probably include the $30 billion interest payment on the national debt (to avoid a default), $49.2 billion in Social Security payments, $50 billion in Medicare/Medicaid payments, $31.7 billion in defense payments, and $12.8 billion in unemployment benefits. With $23 billion of the $49.2 billion in Social Security payments due to be paid on August 3rd and $59 billion in t-bills due on August 4th, the U.S. Treasury's remaining cash balance could dissipate very quickly.

The 10-year bond yield reached a new 2011 low yesterday of 2.785%, its lowest level since November 30th of last year. It is approaching its record low of 2.08% from December of 2008 during the middle of the financial crisis. With threats of a U.S. debt default making headlines across the world, investors are once again rushing into U.S. bonds as a safe haven. It is almost as if the whole world has gone insane. The world is fearful of the U.S. government defaulting on its debt and not being able to pay off maturing bonds, so as a safe haven let's just all rush into the very asset that will soon be worthless due to either an honest default or default by inflation. The U.S. dollar bubble is the largest and longest running bubble in world history and U.S. bonds are currently mispriced big time.

U.S. dollar-denominated bonds should be the last asset in the world to benefit from fears of a U.S. debt default. One positive sign that NIA members are having success at spreading our message to the world is that gold reached a new all time high yesterday, rising $15 to $1,631 per ounce, with silver rising $0.31 to $40.10 per ounce. Thanks to the efforts of NIA members who worked tirelessly to spread the word about NIA's economic documentaries including 'Meltup', 'The Dollar Bubble', and 'Hyperinflation Nation', a larger percentage of the global population than ever before is educated about the global currency crisis that is ahead.

During the financial crisis of late-2008/early-2009, gold and silver prices declined along with all other assets. Today, NIA estimates that half of the world's investors seeking a safe haven are buying dollar-denominated assets like U.S. Treasuries and the other half are seeking safety in precious metals. By mid-2012, investors will most likely no longer look at U.S. bonds and other dollar-denominated assets as a safe haven. During future times of uncertainty, NIA believes that precious metals will receive nearly 100% of safe haven buying, just like the U.S. dollar received 100% of safe haven buying in late-2008/early-2009.

Once the debt ceiling is inevitably raised, the U.S. Treasury will have a lot of catching up to do in order to get its house in order, and we will likely see the largest amount of debt ever sold by the U.S. government in a single month. With QE2 having finished at the end of June, the U.S. will be relying on foreigners in these upcoming record Treasury auctions. In our opinion, we are likely going to see interest rates rise at an unprecedented rate that will shock the world.

Don't believe the mainstream media's laughable claim that there is a shortage of U.S. Treasuries. It was just reported yesterday that Cambodia, one of the most rapidly growing emerging market economies with GDP growth this year of 6.5%, is moving away from the U.S. dollar, which currently accounts for 90% of their currency in circulation, in favor of its own currency the riel. NIA believes it is only a matter of time until China ends its currency peg with the U.S. dollar. The world is flooded with trillions of dollars in U.S. Treasuries that will soon have no buyers except the Federal Reserve. There is no chance of yields falling below record lows from December of 2008.

The mainstream media has been reporting all week that if the U.S. defaults on its debt as a result of a failure to raise the debt ceiling, it will be the first time that our nation has defaulted on its debt obligations. Most NIA members know that the real U.S. debt default already occurred in 1971 when President Nixon closed the gold window and stopped allowing foreign governments to convert their U.S. dollar holdings into gold. Since then, the U.S. currency system has been completely fiat and the national debt has increased by 3,400%.

For the past 40 years, the U.S. government has been running on fumes left over from when countries were able to convert their paper U.S. dollars into gold. The price of gold has increased by 3,900% during this time period, meaning the U.S. dollar has lost 97.5% of its purchasing power. Meanwhile, the median household income has only increased by 384%. In terms of gold, the median U.S. household is earning 87.9% less income today than they did in 1971. The U.S. debt default of 1971 was many times more significant than the pending debt default, because back then our foreign creditors expected to receive real money and not a piece of paper with no real value that we print. The average American family has experienced a dramatic decline in its standard of living since 1971. The U.S. dollar and its reserve currency status is currently serving as the last thread that is keeping our "house of cards" economy propped up.

The U.S. debt ceiling is very similar to a publicly traded company's authorized shares. When a public company consistently loses money like the U.S. government does, they print new shares just like the Federal Reserve prints dollars and when its total outstanding shares reach the shares authorized, the company's Board of Directors simply raises the shares authorized, which allows it to continue issuing shares and diluting shareholders. Since 1962, the U.S. has raised its debt ceiling 74 times. Any public company that needed to raise its authorized shares 74 times would likely have seen its stock price decline by 99.99% from above $10 to below 1 penny.

NIA is strongly against an increase in the debt ceiling because there are ways for our country to stay afloat and continue operating without getting deeper into debt. The U.S. is currently supposed to have 8,133.5 tonnes of gold reserves at Fort Knox. We don't know for sure if these gold reserves still exist because the last audit of our gold reserves took place in 1954 and we had the little minor issue of our real debt default in 1971. Assuming that all of our gold is still there, this gold is worth $426.5 billion at the present time, enough to cover our U.S. government's deficit spending for almost four whole months. The U.S. government also owns valuable land, buildings, monuments, and other types of Real Estate, that could also be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Although we don't support selling all of our gold and Real Estate, if the U.S. government isn't going to implement real spending cuts that will lead to a balanced budget, we rather sell our assets than see the dollar-denominated savings and incomes of all Americans lose its purchasing power.

If we continue raising the debt ceiling and getting deeper into debt in order to pay back the debts we already have, we are defaulting on our debts through inflation. With gold at a record high of $1,631 per ounce, the market is clearly telling us that a default through inflation is coming. As the Chinese, Japanese, and our other creditors are paid back in U.S. dollars that are rapidly losing their purchasing power, they will be reluctant to increase their purchases of U.S. Treasuries in the future, which we desperately need them to do in order to fund our spending increases. With the Federal Reserve likely to become the Treasury buyer of last resort, the world will lose their confidence in the U.S. dollar and hyperinflation could potentially break out as soon as 2013.

NIA believes it is very likely that U.S. GDP will begin declining again in late-2011, which will officially put the U.S. in double-dip recession territory. In our opinion, the U.S. is still in the early stages of a hyperinflationary depression and the so-called economic recovery reported by the government and mainstream media has been completely phony and only due to misleading and manipulated economic statistics that don't factor in the real rate of U.S. price inflation. We expect Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to do everything in his power to avoid a double-dip recession at all costs.

By the end of 2011, we are confident that not only will we see QE3 under a new name, but the Fed will act to force banks to lend their $1.6 trillion in excess reserves. It is a joke that we are debating spending cuts of $70 billion over the next two years, when only very dramatic across the board spending cuts of 50% or more of the total budget will give the U.S. any hope of balancing the budget and avoiding hyperinflation. Best case scenario, if the U.S. government cuts spending by 50% or more in all areas of the budget including entitlement programs and is able to prevent hyperinflation, NIA still believes we will see the U.S. dollar lose 90% of its purchasing power this decade with the price of gold rising to above $16,000 per ounce.

All Assets Return to Intrinsic Value

2011-07-23T09:18:00.001-05:00

All assets always return to their intrinsic value. The intrinsic value of our new agriculture stock suggestion is currently 115% above its current share price, based only on their ownership of the largest agriculture company in one of our top two favorite English speaking countries. The market is currently mispricing this stock, but this small window of opportunity might only last a month or two.

NIA is going to continue offering its agriculture report for the rest of this weekend. If you weren't able to submit your contribution on Thursday or Friday, you haven't missed anything yet. The stock closed Friday at what we consider to be an incredibly perfect entry point. To receive the report go to: http://inflation.us/exclusiveagreport.html (after submitting your contribution you will instantly receive a link with a username and password to immediately download the report)

After we started accepting contributions Thursday at 1:30PM EST, the stock rose 11% to its Thursday closing price. Then it gapped up 35% Friday morning. However, with some people up about 50% from their entry point on Thursday, many people took profits and the stock declined throughout the rest of the day and finished slightly down. The average trade for the day was 21% above the closing price. Because of this, we believe the stock is likely to bounce strongly next week from where it closed this week and start moving back towards its intrinsic value.

All assets always return to their intrinsic value. The U.S. dollar's intrinsic value is zero and we expect it to reach close to zero sometime this decade. Best care scenario for the U.S. dollar, it only loses 90% more of its purchasing power this decade with the price of gold rising to $16,000 per ounce.

Our agriculture stock suggestion's intrinsic value based only on their ownership of a foreign agriculture company, whose stock was up yesterday, is now 115% above its current share price. NIA's last public stock suggestion gained as much as 114% in two months and it wouldn't surprise us if our agriculture stock suggestion gains 115% over the next two months back to its intrinsic value.

It could even happen a lot sooner than two months, but if for some reason it doesn't happen in two months, we are still absolutely certain that it will eventually. Of course, if the share price of the foreign agriculture company they own falls, then the intrinsic value of our stock suggestion would fall. But again, the foreign stock was up yesterday and we expect it to rise a lot higher because it is currently well below its book value and one of China's largest agriculture companies thinks highly enough about this foreign agriculture company that it recently made a major investment into our stock suggestion.

Our agriculture stock suggestion has a large cash position and if you net out all the debts they owe along with the debts other people owe them for loans they made to other companies, we estimate that their net cash position would add 12% to their intrinsic value for a total intrinsic value that is 141% above its current share price.

NIA Agriculture Stock Suggestion

2011-07-20T07:51:00.001-05:00

NIA has just discovered what could be a once in a lifetime opportunity in the agricultural sector. We have accumulated a very large position in this company and made it our largest position. We are going to tell a select few NIA members about it later this week.

The company we have discovered trades on a major U.S. exchange and is very liquid. They own stock in a foreign agriculture company that is worth about 2 1/2 times its current market cap. The foreign agriculture company they own stock in is also very liquid on a major foreign exchange. It is one of the largest agriculture companies in the English speaking country it is located in.

In our opinion, the U.S. listed company that we are rapidly accumulating deserves to at least increase by 150% in the short-term to reflect the value of their shares in this major foreign agriculture company. It appears as though the investment community simply doesn't realize that they own such a large position in this foreign agriculture company. We discovered it while reading the filings of many agriculture companies, trying to determine what agriculture stock is the most undervalued. As of their latest public filing, this company had a cash position that was much larger than their small amount of debt. This is a financially sound company and there is simply no reason for it to be trading this low.

This is the only agriculture stock that we are buying right now and on Friday morning we will be telling a small exclusive group of NIA members about it. On Thursday morning, we will be sending you an email with all of the details on how you can receive our special exclusive report on Friday and be among the few to learn about this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Since we own a large position in this stock, it will never be suggested publicly on NIA. Our report will fully disclose the position we own and we will agree to a holding period. Although we expect this stock to make a major move in the short-term, we plan on holding our shares for the long-term.

Many people ask us why we like gold and silver so much when you can't eat it. Some of these people claim that when hyperinflation hits the U.S., everybody will want food and nobody will care about precious metals.

We agree that when stores shelves in the U.S. become empty during the upcoming hyperinflationary crisis, Americans will desperately need food more than anything else. However, Americans will also need a stable and reliable form of money in order to sell goods and services, and buy food. Those who prepared and have gold and silver will be able to buy any type of item in the black market including food. Without gold and silver, Americans who want food will need to bring as many household items as possible with them to the nearest farm and see if the farmer wants their television, computer, or chair, in return for a dozen bushels of corn.

Pretty soon, it won't matter how many dollars you have. Your wealth will be determined by your purchasing and in order to see if your purchasing power is rising or falling, you will need to measure it in terms of gold. Real Estate prices will soon bottom and begin rising again in terms of dollars, but if your house increases by 20% in price during a time period that gold increases 50% in price, your house will have actually lost 20% of its purchasing power instead of gaining 20%.

Gold is the backbone of the global economy, which is why central banks own so much of it. Bernanke's excuse for central banks owning gold is that it is a "tradition". The truth is, Bernanke says this because he doesn't want you to own gold. If all Americans start buying gold instead of bonds, the U.S. government will no longer be able to recklessly spend endlessly.

Gold is the best gauge of inflation and with gold doubling in price since Obama was elected President, it means the U.S. dollar has lost half of its purchasing power since the last Presidential election. The mainstream media should be talking about this every night and inflation should be the number one most discussed issue in the country today. NIA will not rest until every single American is educated to the economic facts and truth that the government and media have been working tirelessly to distract us from.

The only assets that NIA believes will increase in purchasing power this decade are agricultural commodities, silver, and a select few stocks. The stock market in general is going to decline substantially in purchasing power. The Dow Jones to gold ratio is currently 8 and when it declines back to 1 like it did in 1980 at the peak of the last currency crisis, it will represent an 87.5% decline in the purchasing power of Dow Jones stocks from their current levels. There are absolutely no gold, silver, or agriculture stocks in the Dow Jones today. NIA believes that these stocks will decouple from the rest of the market and increase in purchasing power this decade.

The wealthiest Americans of the future will be those who invest into the right gold, silver, and agriculture stocks today. The foreign agriculture company that our U.S. listed discovery owns stock in is one of the largest and most stable and successful agriculture companies in the world today. We believe this foreign stock is a sure thing to increase in purchasing power substantially over the next few years. However, the biggest agriculture opportunity we have ever discovered is the U.S. listed company that we will tell a select few members about on Friday.

Our latest public stock suggestion gained as much as 114% in less than two months. One of the three companies from our exclusive private silver stock suggestion report released on March 2nd gained as much as 133% in four months, making it the best performing silver stock in the entire market during the time period. In fact, all three companies from our March 2nd report are currently up substantially, which is unbelievable when you consider that the overwhelming majority of silver stocks including SLW, PAAS, CDE, HL, SVM, MVG, and SLX, are all down since March 2nd.

We are confident that we have discovered what could become the biggest winner in the agricultural sector. Look for our email on Thursday with information on how you can learn about this company on Friday.

Helicopter Ben Bernanke is Wrong, Gold is Money

2011-07-13T20:31:00.001-05:00

Bernanke is Wrong, Gold is Money

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke today said that the Federal Reserve is prepared to act with an additional round of quantitative easing if there is any weakening of the U.S. economy and threat of deflation. Bernanke also said that the Fed could act in other ways to stimulate the economy, such as cutting the interest rate that the Fed pays to banks on their $1.5 trillion in excess reserves that they currently keep parked at the Fed. NIA believes this $1.5 trillion alone would multiply into $15 trillion once it circulates through the U.S. economy and if Bernanke on top of that unleashes any additional quantitative easing, it will just about guarantee hyperinflation. Bernanke has made it very clear that he is prepared to print money until the U.S. dollar becomes worthless and the incomes and savings of all U.S. citizens are destroyed.

Ron Paul today asked Bernanke whether or not he watches the price of gold and if he thinks gold is money. Although Bernanke admitted that he does watch the price of gold, Bernanke said that gold is not money, but it is only an asset. Bernanke explained that central banks only hold gold as a "tradition". The truth is, gold has been accepted as money throughout all civilizations over periods of thousands of years. Bernanke doesn't want U.S. citizens to wake up and realize that they can opt-out of the criminal Federal Reserve system if they get rid of their U.S. dollars and store all of their wealth in gold and silver. To see a video of Ron Paul's exchange today with Bernanke, simply visit our blog at: http://inflation.us/blog/2011/07/video-of-ron-paul-asking-bernanke-if-gold-is-money/

The U.S. Constitution defined gold as legal tender and the current fiat currency system we have today where Bernanke can steal from the purchasing power of the poor and middle-class and redistribute this wealth to his banker friends on Wall Street is unconstitutional, immoral, and illegal. The U.S. dollar originally only had purchasing power because it was backed by gold. Today, the U.S. dollar is a fiat currency that is backed by nothing. Any remaining purchasing power the U.S. dollar still has is just an illusion and will soon evaporate due to Bernanke's actions.

In order for an item to function as money, it should be liquid and easily tradable, easily transportable, and durable. It should be divisible into smaller units without destroying its value and should also be fungible, meaning one unit of equal weight must be equivalent to another (which is why diamonds can't be used as money). The item must also be a specific weight, measure, or size, so that it is easy to count. It must be long lasting, durable, and not perishable or subject to decay (which is why food items can't be used as money).

Money must be easily recognizable and most importantly, it must be difficult to counterfeit. The U.S. dollar simply isn't real money because Bernanke has been counterfeiting trillions of dollars out of thin air. Money shouldn't require a mark or image to be valuable, but it should just be valuable based on weight and measure. Gold is valuable based on its weight and measure, and fits all of these other qualities and characteristics as well. Never do people explore shipwrecks hoping to discover U.S. dollars, because dollars that Bernanke can print at will even if they could survive the corrosion of the ocean, simply won't have any purchasing power left by the time explorers can locate them. People explore shipwrecks for gold, because it will last underwater for thousands of years and always retain its value.

When Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe ordered their central bank to implement exactly the same monetary policies that Bernanke has been ordered to implement here in the U.S., the Zimbabwe dollar became worthless and Zimbabweans were forced to pan their rivers for gold. Citizens of Zimbabwe who were able to find 0.1 gram of gold after a long hard day's work of shifting through thousands of buckets full of mud, were able to take that 0.1 gram of gold and exchange it for a loaf of bread. Those who were too old or weak to pan for gold simply couldn't afford food and starved to death.

NIA recommends to all U.S. citizens that they read this eHow article about homemade gold panning: http://www.ehow.com/how_7763218_homemade-gold-panning.html This is a skill all Americans will need to have in order to survive hyperinflation. Unfortunately, unlike in Zimbabwe, most gold in U.S. rivers has already been explored for, so Americans might not be as lucky as Zimbabweans.

In order for an asset to be considered money, its supply must be kept scarce. Bernanke has spent a total of $4.7 trillion since the financial crisis of late-2008, which has flooded the world with excess liquidity of U.S. dollars and led to massive inflation in the prices of food and energy, the two items that Americans need most to live and survive. The inflation problems in China are a direct result of their currency peg to the U.S. dollar and willingness to accept the dollars we print in return for the real goods they produce. As soon as the Chinese central bank decides to end their currency peg, China's currency will increase in purchasing power and all of the monetary inflation the U.S. has exported to them will flow back to the U.S. like a giant tsunami.

Ron Paul today pointed out exactly what we said in our last article. Since the last Presidential election about three years ago, the U.S. dollar has lost about half of its purchasing power priced in gold. Although the U.S. government's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has reported only 2% annual price inflation over the past three years, when you account for how the U.S. government used to calculate price inflation before the implementation of hedonics and quantitative easing, annual price inflation has actually been closer to 9%. Soon when price inflation begins spiraling out of control, Bernanke will be forced to raise the Fed Funds Rate north of 10%, which will cause our interest payments on the national debt to soar to over $1 trillion per year. The U.S. government will then need to immediately end Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and all other entitlement programs, to have any chance of survival.

It is important to spread the word about NIA to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, if you want America to survive hyperinflation. Please tell everybody you know to become members of NIA for free immediately at: http://inflation.us

Media Already Marginalizing Ron Paul Presidential Campaign

Media Already Marginalizing Ron Paul Presidential Campaign

We are at the very beginning of our nation's most important Presidential election season in history. Historically in all Presidential elections, taxation has always been one of the top issues. The Republicans always call for lower taxes, while the Democrats say we should tax the rich more and cut taxes on the poor and middle class. The truth is, taxation today means nothing when the real U.S. budget deficit is now more than twice the government's total tax receipts. Taxation is used to distract U.S. citizens as the Federal Reserve prints trillions of dollars out of thin air, stealing from the incomes and savings of all Americans.

NIA's number one goal during the next year is to educate as many Americans as possible to the truth about the U.S. economy so that come the 2012 Republican primaries and general Presidential election, inflation is the number one issue on everybody's minds. During the 2008 Presidential debates between President Obama and John McCain, Obama did not use the word inflation once. McCain used the word inflation only a handful of times, but spoke about taxation nearly one hundred times. When McCain mentioned inflation, he said that we need to make it easier for students to borrow larger amounts of money to attend college due to inflation, when it is actually the government's willingness to provide easy access to student loans that is causing tuition inflation.

In the 2008 Presidential election, Americans did not have a choice to vote for an anti-inflation candidate. Although polls in late-2008 indicated that the majority of U.S. citizens were against the government's bailouts of Wall Street and artificial stimulus bills, both Obama and McCain were in support of them. Despite Ron Paul doubling McCain's fundraising in the 4Q of 2007 and raising $20 million, ending the year with $7.8 million in cash on hand while McCain's campaign was broke and in debt, the mainstream media manipulated the minds of Americans into voting for McCain as the Republican nominee, when it is Ron Paul who would have put a stop to Congress' reckless, dangerous, and destructive spending that can only be paid for by borrowing and printing money.

Since Obama was elected President on November 4th, 2008, the U.S. dollar has lost 48% of its purchasing power. Americans today spend 48% more for gasoline than they did the day of the last election. Americans today also spend 105% more for sugar, 78% more for coffee, 58% more for corn, with similar gains for many other agricultural commodities. The U.S. government and Federal Reserve created all of this inflation in an attempt to reinflate the Real Estate bubble, yet the median U.S. home price declined by 2.4% during this time period. Meanwhile, the real unemployment rate has increased from 16.8% to 22.3%.

The media worked tirelessly in 2008 to marginalize Ron Paul's Presidential campaign. After every Republican candidate debate, FOX News would have a text message and online voting poll on who won the debate. Ron Paul would overwhelmingly win most of the polls, with hundreds of thousands of people voting, yet the FOX News hosts wouldn't give credit to Ron Paul for winning the debate. They instead would claim that their own poll was somehow compromised and manipulated by tech savvy Ron Paul supporters. Ron Paul supporters did not manipulate FOX News' polls, FOX News and the rest of the mainstream media manipulated the minds of their viewers into nominating John McCain who had the exact same viewpoints as Obama on every economic issue, except that Obama said he would tax the rich slightly more than McCain (big deal!).

The media is already beginning their massive campaign to marginalize Ron Paul's Presidential campaign for the Republican nomination in the 2012 election. After the first Republican debate on June 13th, Bill O'Reilly referred to a snap poll that declared Mitt Romney the winner with 51% of the vote and Ron Paul the loser with 0%. The very fine print on the screen said that 54 people voted in the poll that Bill O'Reilly was using to declare Romney the winner of the debate. So when hundreds of thousands of real voters support Ron Paul in a FOX News poll, the network's hosts downplay it and claim that their own poll was rigged; but when 54 Washington insiders vote for Romney and 0 vote for Ron Paul, Bill O'Reilly gives credibility to that poll in an attempt to influence his viewers into believing Ron Paul has no chance of being elected!

The mainstream media has already hand selected Romney to be their nominee in the 2012 election. No matter where you look this week, the headlines read that Romney raised $15 to $20 million in the second quarter, most of it coming from bankers on Wall Street. Meanwhile, Ron Paul has raised $4.5 million from grassroots supporters, more than Tim Pawlenty, Jon Huntsman, or anybody else that has reported so far, but nobody gives Ron Paul any credit. All of the articles written about Ron Paul call him a "long-shot", solely in an attempt to manipulate the minds of voters.

Romney's millions of dollars in donations are coming from those who benefited from the Federal Reserve's unconstitutional and criminal acts of stealing the wealth of hardworking middle-class Americans through inflation. Romney has made it very clear that he won't discuss the Federal Reserve and that he believes Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is doing a good job. The fact is, unless we address the Federal Reserve and the endless monetary inflation they are creating, no other issues matter at all.

Some of the people who benefited from the Federal Reserve's bailouts are hedging their bets and not just supporting Romney, but are supporting all of the Republican candidates other than Ron Paul. Jack Welch, former Chairman of General Electric (GE), yesterday declared Romney, Pawlenty, and Huntsman the three "real contenders" in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination, saying that, "each of them has their pluses and minuses". Welch gave no mention of Ron Paul, despite the fact that he raised more money than Pawlenty and Huntsman last quarter. Welch in the same interview called Bernanke a "hero during the crisis". After all, GE would have gone bankrupt due to Welch's reckless management of the company if it wasn't for the U.S. government backing $139 billion of GE's debt during the financial crisis.

Bill O'Reilly has been trying to portray Ron Paul as some kind of a lunatic, when O'Reilly is clearly uneducated about the economic issues that matter today. In a shocking display of just how incompetent O'Reilly is, he recently played a clip of Ron Paul speaking at the June 13th debate about how the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency has become our main export in return for all of the real products we import from countries like China and Japan. O'Reilly said he was "very confused" by what Ron Paul was saying. O'Reilly apparently thinks this is normal and will be sustainable continuously forever. To see this shocking video of O'Reilly's incompetence, simply go to our recent blog posting at: http://inflation.us/blog/2011/06/bill-oreilly-clueless-about-economics-and-inflation/

Glenn Beck, the only person in the mainstream media who has called NIA a credible organization and has referenced our food inflation report on the air on many occasions, recently left FOX News to start his own Internet television network. With Glenn Beck leaving FOX News, the balance of power has now shifted. If you combine all of the major alternative media organizations on the Internet, they now have larger reach than the mainstream media news organizations on television. Due to this shift in power, NIA now truly believes that a candidate like Ron Paul has a chance of actually winning the 2012 Presidential election.

In order for our movement to succeed in electing a real President like Ron Paul in 2012, we must all work together. Americans need to realize that the real war isn't CNN, MSNBC, and the Democrats vs. FOX News and the Republicans. The real information war is alternative news organizations on the Internet that speak the truth along with politicians who believe in Austrian economics and protecting the U.S. Constitution vs. CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and the rest of the mainstream media, which spread false propaganda in order to support the Democrats and Republicans that have been brainwashed by our nation's colleges with Keynesian economic principles, and have put our nation on the brink of hyperinflation.

It is important to spread the word about NIA to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, if you want America to survive hyperinflation. Please tell everybody you know to become members of NIA for free immediately at: http://inflation.us

America's Oil Price Inflation Crisis is Yet to Come

2011-06-30T20:13:00.001-05:00

America's Oil Price Inflation Crisis is Yet to Come
NIA is very disturbed by President Obama's decision to sell off oil from the U.S. emergency oil reserve, in an attempt to drive down oil prices. One week ago it was announced that the U.S. and other oil-consuming nations that are a part of the International Energy Agency (IEA) will begin releasing 60 million barrels of oil from their reserves, with 30 million barrels coming from the U.S. government-owned reserve. They hoped that by flooding the market with excess supply, they would cause an artificial forced liquidation of oil futures contract holders who bought using leverage.

The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is the world's largest government-owned stockpile of emergency crude oil reserves and is maintained by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). It holds 727 million barrels of oil reserves at four different sites along the Gulf of Mexico. Considering that the U.S. is releasing 30 million barrels of oil from these reserves, we are reducing the size of our emergency reserve by 4.1%.

After Obama's decision was announced on June 22nd, crude oil prices originally dipped as much as $5.71 per barrel from $95.41 per barrel down to a low of $89.70 per barrel on June 23rd. Oil prices declined slightly more during the next two trading days, reaching a low this past Monday of $89.61 per barrel and closing Monday at $90.61 per barrel. However, oil prices have surged $4.81 during the past three days and are currently $95.42 per barrel. Oil has recovered the entire dip that came after Obama's decision was announced and is now a penny higher than before his announcement. Unlike 2008 when most oil futures contract holders were hedge funds using leverage in an attempt to make short-term profits, today most oil investors are much stronger hands who bought with cash, because the world is now flooded with dollars thanks to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

It certainly wasn't worth jeopardizing the homeland security of this country by reducing our emergency oil reserve by 4.1%, just to see a $4 reduction in oil prices that lasted for only 3 days. If the White House had any faith whatsoever in Bernanke's assertion that rising oil prices are only transitory, there would be no reason to release 30 million barrels of oil from our emergency reserve. The rising oil prices we have experienced so far is far from an emergency. The emergency will come soon when the world turns its back on the U.S. dollar and we see a rapid decline in its purchasing power. The emergency will be here when the U.S. can no longer import oil from foreigners at any price due to hyperinflation, and we are forced to live with only the oil produced in this country.

At any time that they choose, China has the power to set off in our country the economic equivalent of a nuclear bomb. China can at any time announce that they are no longer going to buy U.S. treasuries, but they are going to take their $2 trillion in U.S. dollar reserves and use them to buy gold. The price of gold would double overnight, with the U.S. dollar immediately losing half of its purchasing power. The yuan would then skyrocket in purchasing power, automatically giving China the world's largest economy with the Chinese GDP soaring past U.S. GDP. There would be a massive rush out of the U.S. dollar with our trading partners unwilling to export any oil to us.

The U.S. currently produces only 5.5 million barrels of oil per day, but consumes about 19.3 million barrels of oil per day, with total input into refineries of 14.7 million barrels of oil per day. This means the U.S. currently needs to import 9.2 million barrels of oil per day. U.S. commercial crude oil stockpiles are currently 359.5 million barrels or enough to last for 24 days without any domestic production. In the event of hyperinflation where the U.S. is cut off from oil imports, if we were forced to live off of our own oil production of 5.5 million barrels of oil per day, our commercial stockpiles would be gone in 39 days.

Without an emergency oil reserve, in the event of a major oil shortage due to hyperinflation, after a period of just 39 days, farmers won't have enough oil to produce food, manufacturing plants won't have enough oil to process and package food, and logistics companies won't have enough oil to get finished food products into our supermarkets. This is why we have an emergency oil reserve, to prevent store shelves from becoming empty in our supermarkets due to a fuel shortage.

It takes 13 days for oil from our emergency reserve to begin entering the market and once it does, the most it can add to the market on a daily basis is 4.4 million barrels of oil. Therefore, in a crisis we must first use only our commercial stockpiles for 13 days, which would cause our commercial reserve to decline down to 239.9 million barrels of oil. Beginning on the 14th day of a crisis, 4.4 million barrels of oil per day can come into the market from our emergency reserve with 4.8 million barrels of oil per day entering the market from our commercial reserve.

After 50 additional days, our commercial reserve will be depleted and all that will be left is 507 million barrels of oil in our emergency reserve. That will give us 115 more days where we can withdraw 4.4 million barrels of oil per day, but the U.S. will be forced to reduce its daily oil consumption by 33% during those 115 days. This is based off of an emergency reserve of 727 million barrels of oil. With Obama this month prematurely releasing 30 million barrels of oil from our emergency reserve, we will actually only have 108 days where the U.S. will be able to consume 2/3 of its normal oil consumption, after 63 days of full oil consumption.

The solution to high oil prices is not more government intervention, but is less government interference in the free market. Instead of trying to manipulate oil prices down using artificial methods that will only last temporarily, the U.S. government should look at the root cause of rising oil prices. Oil is rising due to the U.S. government's deficit spending and the Federal Reserve's willingness to monetize our deficits and debts. If they want to see lower oil prices, the government should start out by eliminating the DOE. The DOE was created in 1977 to make the U.S. less dependent on oil imports. In 1977, we imported 44% of the oil used in U.S. refineries. Today, we import 63% of the oil used in U.S. refineries. Eliminating the DOE would save this country $27 billion annually.

Priced in terms of real money (gold), oil prices haven't been rising at all. The Federal Reserve's QE2, in which it printed $600 billion out of thin air, has created artificial demand for oil. If it wasn't for the Federal Reserve working tirelessly trying to prevent a much needed recession, Americans would be cutting back on oil consumption and oil prices would be declining. If the free market was allowed to operate, falling oil prices would make it easier for Americans to live with the real unemployment rate currently at 22.3%.

  WHERE ARE THE GIRLFRIENDS???

  I hadn't thought about this - but where are O's past girlfriends - surely
he had at least one? No past girl friends popping up anywhere? Strange -
strange to the point of being downright weird!
  OK, this is just plain old common sense, no political agendas for either
side. Just common knowledge for citizens of a country, especially American
citizens, who know every little tidbit about every other president (and
their wives) and even know that Andrew Jackson's wife smoked a corn cob pipe
and was accused of adultery, or that Lincoln never went to school or Kennedy
wore a back brace or Truman played the piano.
  We are Americans! Our Media vets these things out! We are known for our
humanitarian interests and caring for our 'fellow man.' We care, but none of
us know one single humanizing fact about the history of our own president.
  Honestly, and this is a personal thing ... but it's bugged me for years
that no one who ever dated him ever showed up. Taken his charisma, which
caused the women to be drawn to him so obviously during his campaign, looks
like some lady would not have missed the opportunity....
  We all know about JFK's magnetism, McCain was no monk, Palin's courtship
and even her athletic prowess were probed. Biden's aneurisms are no secret.
Look at Cheney and Clinton-we all know about their heart problems. How could
I have left out Wild Bill before or during the White House?
  Nope... not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy," or "What
a great dancer!"
  Now look at the rest of what we know... no classmates, not even the
recorder for the Columbia class notes ever heard of him.
  Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Check for groomsmen.
Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony.
  Has anyone talked to the professors? Isn't it odd that no one is bragging
that they knew him or taught him or lived with him.
  When did he meet Michele and how? Are there photos? Every president
provides the public with all their photos, etc. for their library. What has
he released? Nada - other than what was in this so-called biography! And
experts who study writing styles, etc. claim it was not O's own words or
typical of his speech patterns, etc.
  Does this make any of you wonder?
  Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from Obama's past, saying they
knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc. ?
  Not one person has ever come forward from his past.
  This should really be a cause for great concern. Did you see the movie
titled, The Manchurian Candidate?
  Let's face it. As insignificant as we all are... someone whom we went to
school with remembers our name or face...someone remembers we were the clown
or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something about
us.
  George Stephanopoulos, ABC News said the same thing during the 2008
campaign.
  Even George questions why no one has acknowledged that the president was
in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches
on campus.
  Stephanopoulos was a classmate of Obama at Columbia-class of 1984.
  He says he never had a single class with him.
  Since he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's college
class remember him?
  And, why won't he allow Columbia to release his records?
  Do you like millions of others, simply assume all this is explainable -
even though no one can?
  NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA
  Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia
University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there,
butnot one remembers him. For example,Wayne Allyn Root was (like Obama) a
political science major at Columbia, who graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root
says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and
they all know me. I don't have a single classmate who ever knew Barack Obama
at Columbia ... EVER! Nobody recalls him.
  Root adds that he was, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says,
"You don't get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life,
don't know anyone who ever met him."
  At our 20th class reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker
of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody
even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the,
as we say in New York, 'the macha' who knows everybody, has yet to find a
person, a human who ever met him."
  Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook, and Obama
consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide
school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends
while at Columbia. How can this be?
  NOTE: Wayne Allyn Root can easily be verified. He graduated valedictorian
from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia
University in 1983 as a Political Science major in the same '83 class in
which Barack Hussein Obama states he was. Some other interesting questions.
  Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002?
  Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by court order?
  According to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama - but 27
Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases. WHAT!?
  The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he
is never reported to have lived. No wonder all his records are sealed!
  Please continue sending this out to everyone. Somewhere, someone had to
know him in school...before he "reorganized" Chicago and burst upon the
scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention and made us swoon with his charm,
poise, and speaking pizzazz.
  One of the biggest CONS this country has ever seen, and getting away with
it. Go watch the movie The Manchurian Candidate, with Lawrence Harvey! Good
movie!

NIA's Options Suggestions Report

2011-06-22T18:56:00.001-05:00

On Friday morning, NIA will be releasing its exclusive private report with its top options suggestions for the next 7 months! Tomorrow (Thursday) morning, NIA will be releasing all of the details on how you can receive the report Friday morning. Be ready for NIA's extremely important alert tomorrow morning on how you can be the first to receive NIA's options suggestions report coming this Friday.

NIA believes that over the next 7 months, we will see a massive decline in the U.S. dollar with huge gains in a select few gold/silver, agriculture, and commodity related stocks and ETFs.

NIA believes we will also see the U.S. college bubble begin to collapse with a huge surge in student loan defaults and a large nationwide drop in college enrollments.

NIA believes the U.S. consumer will be hit hard by surging price inflation and will need to cut back big time on discretionary spending, in order to put food on their tables, air condition and heat their homes, and buy fuel for their automobiles.

By utilizing put options, NIA believes there are massive gains to be made by betting against the stocks of companies that will be hurt the worst by the collapsing college bubble. NIA also believes there is potential to make astronomical gains in the upcoming months by utilizing put options to bet against a select few U.S. discretionary spending stocks.

Just like how NIA suggested call options in the silver ETF "SLV" that gained 1,002% last year, NIA believes there are more huge gains to be made during the next 7 months with brand new call option plays related to precious metals and other real assets.

In NIA's opinion, interest rates on U.S. treasuries are set to rise dramatically in the upcoming months, and NIA's report will also have an options suggestion that we believe could make large gains due to rising interest rates.

By diversifying and utilizing an options trading strategy of betting on both call and put options based on NIA's economic outlook for the rest of 2011 and early 2012, NIA believes options can provide huge leverage to maximize profits, while simultaneously hedging against market risks.

NIA has so far been 3 for 4 with options suggestions for a success rate of 75%, with its 3 winning options suggestions making gains at their highs of 1,002%, 276%, and 74%! NIA's President has proven his ability to pick huge options winners and hopes for his options trading success to continue in the months ahead!

If you haven't read it yet, please be sure to read NIA's free educational report on options trading: http://inflation.us/NIA_Educational_Report_Options.pdf

If you have no options trading experience, NIA's upcoming options suggestions report is not for you. Options are very risky and our report coming this Friday is for experienced investors only.

Options trading is extremely risky. Past performance is not an indicator of future returns. NIA is not an investment advisor. NIA's options suggestions are not a solicitation or recommendation to buy or sell any option. Never make investment decisions based on anything NIA says. Always do your own research and make your own investment decisions based on your own personal level of experience and risk tolerance. Never invest money into any option unless you can afford to lose 100% of your investment.

NIA Extremely Important Update

2011-06-22T05:37:00.001-05:00

Add billionaire "Bond King" founder of Pimco, Bill Gross, to the nearly 1 million people who have watched NIA's critically acclaimed documentary 'College Conspiracy'! In Gross' brand new July newsletter that he released today, he focused entirely on a college education in America being a waste and featured many of the facts, statistics, and viewpoints that NIA was the first to expose to the world in 'College Conspiracy'.

It is not a coincidence that before the release of 'College Conspiracy' 5 weeks ago, almost nobody in the U.S. was calling college education a scam. Since the release of 'College Conspiracy', in a period of just 5 weeks there have been literally hundreds of articles and stories in the mainstream media about how college is a scam and why American students are much better off avoiding college all together.

We would like to thank all NIA members who worked tirelessly to spread the word about 'College Conspiracy'. When we all work together to spread the facts and truth about the U.S. economy and inflation, our message is able to reach nearly every single American across the country!

We just posted Gross' July newsletter to our blog for you to see: http://inflation.us/blog/2011/06/bill-gross-appears-to-have-watched-college-conspiracy/

We have been receiving many emails over the past week asking us to comment on Kitco, which is one of the companies in our online gold and silver sellers review. We had previously given Kitco an overall rating of 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars.

About a week ago, Kitco's offices were raided by Canadian authorities as part of an investigation into if Kitco has been paying all of their sales taxes owed. Kitco has allegedly avoided paying $150 million in sales taxes on $1.8 billion in transactions. Although we must presume Kitco to be innocent until these allegations are proven, we are going to temporarily lower Kitco's overall rating to 1 star and issue a warning on our site until this matter is resolved.

The Kitco situation proves just how valuable NIA's 'NIAnswers' have been for NIA members. Note: 'NIAnswers' is currently offline as we finish programming the final version of our software, but will be back online very soon with much improved functionality and many new features.

A few months ago, an NIA member submitted the following question on 'NIAnswers': "I am going to purchase silver from Kitco. I'm wondering would you recommend or consider a pool account more advantageous over delivering and physically owning the silver?"

NIA's response to this question on 'NIAnswers' was: "If you purchase silver through a pool account with Kitco, your silver is unallocated and therefore you are at risk of losing the silver in the event of the firm's insolvency. Basically, by owning unallocated silver in a pool account, you are a general creditor of the firm. We suggest staying away from Kitco pool accounts and only purchasing physical silver from them."

NIA's response to this question could have saved this NIA member and possibly others from losing their silver. If it is proven that Kitco owes this $150 million in Canadian taxes, Kitco will likely become insolvent and the Canadian government will go after all assets owned by Kitco, including unallocated gold and silver that Kitco's customers have in pool accounts. The Canadian government will have priority over other Kitco creditors, and there is a strong likelihood that those who purchased unallocated gold and silver through Kitco and were storing it in a Kitco pool account, will lose everything!

Hopefully, NIA's response on 'NIAnswers' was enough to convince this member and other NIA members not to buy unallocated gold and silver in a pool account with Kitco or any other firm!

NIA will soon be updating its unbiased reviews of online sellers of gold and silver bullion. If you would like us to review a company that isn't already in our review, please send an email to reviews@inflation.us and we will review that company next month in our latest review update. The company must allow you to purchase gold and silver entirely online. It can't be a company that requires you to call them on the phone to place your order.

NIA's President sold his Moody's (MCO) put options at the perfect time. On May 23rd, NIA's President purchased 150 MCO November 2011 $35 put options at $1.98 for a bet of $29,700 that MCO would decline in value, and NIA immediately sent out an alert suggesting this option. On June 17th, MCO declined by as much as $3.14 down to $35.13 per share and NIA's President sold his options at $3.45, earning a gross profit of $22,050 on a percentage gain of 74% in less than one month! NIA alerted you to his sale immediately afterwards. MCO has bounced in recent days back up to $37.84.

NIA has had 4 options suggestions so far, with 3 of them or 75% of them being huge winners! NIA's 3 winning options suggestions gained by 1,002%, 276%, and 74% at their highs, with NIA's 1 losing options suggestion expiring worthless and losing 100% of its value. Most stock options expire worthless, so to be right 75% of the time is like a baseball player batting .750 for the season.

Because only a small number of NIA members have the knowledge, experience, and sophistication necessary to successfully trade options, we will no longer be sending out options suggestions to our main email list. If you would like to learn about NIA's top options suggestions for the second half of 2011, please go to http://inflation.us/optionssuggestions.html and submit your email address to be added onto our special email list.

It is important to spread the word about NIA to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, if you want America to survive hyperinflation. Please tell everybody you know to become members of NIA for free immediately at: http://inflation.us

Bernanke to Invent New Term for Printing Money

2011-06-20T10:26:00.001-05:00

Bernanke to Invent New Term for Printing Money

When the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) reported their latest consumer price index (CPI) inflation data last week, everybody in the mainstream media worked tirelessly to spin the data in order to proclaim that U.S. price inflation is not a problem. Most articles in the media reported that inflation slowed in May due to falling gas prices. The truth is, gas prices rose last month and U.S. price inflation is spiraling out of control.

Price inflation based on the CPI on a year-over-year basis rose during the month of May to 3.57%, up from 3.16% in April, 2.68% in March, 2.11% in February, 1.63% in January, 1.5% in December, and 1.1% in November. The official rate of price inflation has more than tripled over the past 6 months. Yes, maybe the rate of year-over-year price inflation rose by slightly less in May over April, than it did in April over March, but this isn't good news at all. This U.S. dollar is still rapidly losing its purchasing power and the rate at which it is declining in purchasing power is accelerating.

On an unadjusted basis, gas prices rose 3.6% in the month of May. The media is reporting gas prices based on the BLS's seasonal adjustments. Only with the BLS's deceptive seasonal adjustments did gas prices decline by 2% in the month of May. The BLS's seasonal adjustments will actually reverse starting in the month of July and add to reported gasoline prices. NIA predicts that come August when the BLS releases its July CPI report, the media will begin focusing on unadjusted gasoline prices because the unadjusted gain will be less than the adjusted one. The media always reports the data that supports their agenda and ignores the data that works against it.

The media is obviously just saying what the U.S. government wants them to say. Larry Summers, a Keynesian economist who served for 5 years last decade as President of Harvard and was up until late-2010 director of President Obama's White House National Economic Council, just said last week that, "the underlying rate of inflation is still trending downwards". The media's favorite economist Paul Krugman, a Keynesian who has an op-ed column in the New York Times, said last week that, "There's really nothing here to shake my view that deflation, not inflation, is the threat."

Krugman, who has been calling for massive price deflation the whole entire time that NIA has been predicting massive price inflation, is refusing to admit he has been wrong and is telling all Americans to ignore rapidly rising food and energy prices because he claims they are too volatile. He is telling the world to focus solely on the core CPI, which ignores food and energy, the two items that Americans need most to live and survive. Core CPI is weighed heavily by rents and America's Real Estate bubble still isn't done deflating. The only purpose of having a core CPI is for Keynesian economists like Krugman to use it to mislead Americans and deceive them into believing that inflation is not a problem.

Core CPI was an invention of the Nixon administration, which right there should tell you all you need to know about it. President Nixon's idea for creating core CPI, was to deceive Americans about price inflation by excluding the items that were rising the most, which he would justify by calling these items "too volatile". NIA has predicted from the very beginning that inflation will not effect all goods and services equally and that as inflation begins to spiral out of control, inflation would gravitate most towards the prices of the items that Americans need the most, and there is nothing that Americans need more than food and agricultural products, and to a lesser extent energy.

Whenever the mainstream media reports about global inflation and they show a map of the world, the map always shows massive inflation in Middle Eastern and Asian countries, with the U.S. having the least price inflation. The truth is, inflation in Middle Eastern and Asian countries isn't many times worse than the U.S., it is just that their governments are many times more honest and aren't as advanced in manipulating economic statistics as our government is. While all of the headlines from major American news organizations about U.S. inflation said last week that inflation is slowing and not a problem, those same news organizations wrote articles about Chinese inflation being at a new 34-month high of 5.5%. The fact is, official U.S. price inflation is also at its highest level in nearly three years and our real price inflation rate is actually higher than China's reported rate of price inflation.

Based on the BLS's CPI, year-over-year U.S. price inflation in the month of May of 3.57% was the highest year-over-year price inflation rate since October of 2008, right before the global financial crisis. If it wasn't for the global financial crisis of late-2008/early-2009 and the world's mistake of liquidating real assets and hoarding fiat U.S. dollars as a safe haven, it is likely that the official rate of U.S. price inflation would already be in the double-digits today. NIA estimates the real rate of U.S. price inflation, minus geometric weighting and hedonics, to currently be approximately 7.5% on a year-over-year basis. It is possible that the real U.S. price inflation rate will reach double digits in the second half of 2011. That will be devastating to the U.S. economy because at that point it will just about guarantee that the Federal Reserve will have to raise the federal funds rate to north of 10% by the middle of this decade.

The Federal Reserve's balance sheet just reached a brand new record of $2.832 trillion, up from $2.815 trillion in the prior week, as we approach the end of QE2 at the end of June. The stock market is already anticipating the end of QE2 with the Dow Jones currently down over 900 points from its high at the end of April. The declining stock market is pretty much sowing the seeds for a QE3. After all, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke doesn't want to see the phony U.S. economic recovery blow up in smoke.

Bernanke will do everything possible to disguise QE3 and will never admit to there being a QE3. Remember, this is the same Federal Reserve Chairman who lied to every single American on '60 Minutes' when he said, "We're not printing money." That is exactly what QE2 is, printing money, but just like how Bernanke won't admit to printing money, Bernanke is now going to retire the term "quantitative easing" and come up with a new term for the Fed's latest destructive policy of creating massive monetary inflation.

It is important to spread the word about NIA to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, if you want America to survive hyperinflation. Please tell everybody you know to become members of NIA for free immediately at: http://inflation.us

FAQ for the Week starting June 12, 2011

2011-06-12T06:32:00.001-05:00

Here are the top 10 most important economic questions that NIA answered during the past week.

NIAnswers is currently offline as we program the final version of our software. Up until now, NIAnswers was in the beta phase. The final version should be online by the end of June. Until then, please email your economic questions to us.

1) I bought silver when NIA declared it the best investment for the next decade at $17 per ounce. Should I get out now while I am still up big? For my friends who don't own silver, should I tell them it is too late to invest? What is your outlook for silver in the second half of 2011?
It is dangerous not to own gold and silver. Although the U.S. dollar seems like a safe haven to most Americans because it has a number on it that always stays the same, the U.S. dollar is a fiat currency with no real value because it is no longer backed by gold. The only reason the U.S. dollar still has any purchasing power at all is due to the public's perception that it will always be accepted as money. Gold is the world's most stable asset and silver possesses all of the same monetary qualities as gold, but is a lot more volatile than gold.

We believe silver is a much better bargain than gold because the gold/silver ratio is currently 42 and during periods of high inflation it always declines to 16, which is where the Coinage Act of 1834 defined their values until silver was demonitized in 1873. Ever since silver was demonitized, America has been a fiat country gone insane with Americans being brainwashed into believing silver is only an industrial metal and paper dollars are money. Bernanke's devastating inflationary monetary policies will soon wake Americans up to the truth and we will see a decline in the ratio back to 16 or below permanently, which means we will see at least a 2.625 times increase in purchasing power for those who own silver vs. gold from their current levels. We are 100% confident the gold/silver ratio will at least decline to 16 this decade.

Because silver has been so undervalued for so long with a gold/silver ratio averaging north of 50 for the past century, most silver produced in recent decades has been consumed by industrial purposes and there are actually much larger inventories of gold available above ground today. Most likely we will probably see the gold/silver ratio overcorrect to the downside, possibly down to 10 or lower. Only 10 times more silver has been produced in world history than gold so a gold/silver ratio of 10 is actually a very realistic possibility. This means those who own silver will likely more than quadruple their purchasing power from current levels this decade, while Americans with savings in U.S. dollars lose all of their purchasing power.

COMEX registered physical silver inventories have declined 30% over the past six weeks down to 28.8 million ounces or just $1 billion worth of silver. A major shortage of physical silver is developing. A COMEX default is likely coming in the near-future as those holding futures contracts demand physical delivery and COMEX can't deliver. This could cause an explosion in silver prices, possibly to $100 per ounce overnight.

Silver prices rose too far too fast during the month of April. When we announced silver as the best investment for the next decade at $17 per ounce, we never thought silver would nearly reach $50 per ounce in early 2011. We were looking for silver to reach $50 per ounce in late 2011 with a decline in the gold/silver ratio this year to 38.

When silver reached a new all time nominal high of near $50 per ounce in April, the gold/silver ratio temporarily declined as low as 30.5, far below NIA's outlook for 2011 of 38. Silver prices were due for a natural pullback, but because COMEX raised margin requirements on multiple occasions right when silver began to dip, we saw a very rapid and steep pullback in silver prices due to forced liquidations, profit taking, and panic selling. The timing of COMEX's margin requirement increases can be described in no other way than manipulation.

COMEX has been manipulating down the price of silver in order to help their friends at JP Morgan, who have a huge silver naked short position. The manipulation has allowed JP Morgan to decrease its silver short position to just about its lowest level since it was acquired in 2008 from Bear Stearns with the backing of the Federal Reserve. Without this manipulation, it is possible that after a brief pullback, JP Morgan would be covering its silver short position today above $50 per ounce.

Although the pullback in silver was steep, this was not unexpected. It is something that NIA has warned about on countless occasions. We believe the pullback in silver is now over and most of the silver sold by speculators is now owned by stronger hands that are holding for the long-term. In our opinion, silver will make another move towards $50 per ounce and instead of pulling back, this time silver will break $50 per ounce and reach new all time nominal highs. We don't see much downsize risk for silver, because there are many investors who are waiting to buy as much silver as possible on any kind of dip from these levels.

2) What do you think about the new Utah money where people will be able to pay taxes and each other in gold and silver coins? Do you think this will pass the U.S. Senate and what will that do to silver?

Utah just legalized gold and silver as a currency, which is something that NIA strongly supports. Gold and silver will now be exempt from state capital gains tax in Utah. However, Utah doesn't have the power to exempt it from Federal capital gains tax. We support Ron Paul for President in the 2012 election because he will eliminate Federal taxes on gold and silver. After all, when gold prices go up you actually aren't making money. You are simply retaining your purchasing power as the U.S. dollar goes down. Ron Paul is the only candidate who understands this and understands that the U.S. constitution mandated only gold and silver to be used as legal tender. Fiat currencies are unconstitutional. Ben Bernanke is a criminal who is stealing the wealth of all Americans through inflation and NIA will not stop until all Americans understand the truth.

3) At the price of gold and silver now, is it safe to continue to purchase these metals? When do you plan to sell?

We are still buying gold and silver, and we will hold our gold and silver until the Dow Jones/gold ratio at least declines to 1, the median U.S. home/silver ratio at least declines to 1,000, and the gold/silver ratio at least declines to 16. Only when these ratios are met will it be a sign that it is time to diversify from precious metals. However, we will never sell precious metals in order to buy a fiat currency. We plan to use our precious metals to buy dirt cheap Real Estate in the U.S. once the market has completely bottomed, which is still many years away from happening.

4) What do you mean when you say, "No amount of tax increases and spending decreases will ever allow the U.S. to balance its budget."? Is there no way out of this hole? Is there no way to turn this bus around and prevent it from going over a cliff and into the abyss of hyperinflation?

If the government acted immediately and cut expenses across the board by 50% including entitlement programs, and the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to at least 5% or 6%, we believe hyperinflation could be prevented. However, the government doesn't believe inflation is a problem because the Fed looks at the core consumer price index (CPI), which excludes food and energy, because the Fed says food and energy inflation is transitory. The core CPI is mainly comprised of rents, which is very misleading because rents aren't going to rise by much in the short-term being that we just had the largest Real Estate bubble in history that still isn't done deflating.

Even core CPI will begin rising dramatically eventually. When price inflation becomes so large that the government realizes something must be done and can no longer ignore it, it will be too late. Our budget deficit as a percentage of annual government expenditures is at a level that many other countries were at right before they experienced hyperinflation. What triggered hyperinflation in prior instances is when foreigners stopped lending and a country's own central bank needed to print the money to fund the bulk of a country's deficit spending. We believe our two largest foreign lenders China and Japan are about to pull the plug on the U.S. and the Federal Reserve will become the U.S. treasury buyer of last resort. The Fed already owns more U.S. treasuries than China and Japan, but soon the Fed will be the only treasury buyer left.

If we wait another year to make dramatic spending cuts, it will be too late because soon we will have to deal with rising interest payments on our national debt. The annual interest we pay on our national debt is currently only around $200 billion per year due to our artificially low interest rates. When rates start to rise, annual interest on our debt could easily exceed $1 trillion and cause our budget deficits to explode even higher. The first place the U.S. needs to cut is the military. We need to leave Afghanistan immediately now than Bin Laden is dead and we must stop attacking countries that are no threat to us like Libya.

5) One of the issues that has propped up the dollar for decades is the ability of the U.S. government to "enforce" the dollar because of its enormous and superior military. What are your thoughts about this?

We don't think we can threaten other countries by force and make them continue buying U.S. treasuries because if they stopped buying our debt, the dollar would collapse and we won't have the resources to fund our military. Some people believe the world is buying our treasuries because they like the U.S. military policing the world, but we strongly disagree. We believe the world resents the U.S. for maintaining its 700 military bases in 130 countries. In our opinion, we are gaining enemies this way. China and Japan would be much better off using the money they spend on U.S. treasuries to expand the size of their own militaries. When the dollar collapses due to hyperinflation, no longer will the U.S. be the world's superpower due to its military. China's military will eventually exceed the size of ours. Our current military empire where we spend just about the same on defense as the rest of the world combined is unsustainable and over the long-term this wasteful spending is making us a lot less safe as a result. Having a safe and stable currency is the most important fundamental building block of having a safe and stable country.

6) We have a nation full of incredibly financially smart folks who should be concentrating on the solution instead of the problem. Where are they and why isn't anyone stepping up to the plate to try to save our country? I heard that Donald Trump had a plan to get us out of debt but don't know what that plan is. Have you heard about this plan and is it credible?

Donald Trump isn't very credible when it comes to getting out of debt, because his casino company is one of the most indebted companies in the world and it has filed for bankruptcy on numerous occasions. But then again, the U.S. is for all intents and purposes bankrupt so if Donald Trump changed his mind and decided to run for President, he could campaign based on his experience with reorganizing under bankruptcy and keeping companies alive and operating despite them being bankrupt. Unfortunately, Donald Trump has screwed over his shareholders countless times who were left with nothing, so he would probably also screw over holders of U.S. dollars who would be left with worthless pieces of paper that have no purchasing power.

7) When do you expect inflation to crimp the margins of consumer discretionary stocks?

Inflation is already hurting the margins of many consumer discretionary stocks that have been reporting earnings in recent weeks, which is something NIA predicted would happen late last year. Retailers are passing some of their rising costs on to their customers, but are reluctant to pass all of them on. Many retailers are passing on 1/2 of their rising wholesale costs by raising retail prices and eating the other 1/2 through shrinking gross margins. This same thing is happening to the product manufacturers who are seeing large raw material input cost increases. They are eating some of their rising costs to stay competitive and passing the rest on to their customers. Many manufacturers and retailers are hoping that Bernanke is right and that commodity inflation is transitory. Although some commodities have run too far too fast and will dip in the short-term as the dollar makes a possible temporary bounce, we can assure you that inflation is not transitory and the dollar collapse has just begun.

8) NIA says there is no chance of the U.S. ever balancing its budget, without eliminating the so-called untouchable entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. How exactly would the disabled live if these entitlement programs were gone? It sounds like retirement would have to be eliminated. Would a person basically have to work to death?

Retirement will become a thing of the past for Americans relying on Social Security to retire as well as Americans with their savings in U.S. dollars. Seniors who are not relying on Social Security and have at least one third of the savings necessary to retire, and are smart enough to invest their savings now into silver, we believe will be able to retire and stay retired as they will increase their purchasing power while the rest of America goes broke. NIA expects to see a major trend in the upcoming years of retired Americans reentering the workforce as their Social Security checks continue to buy less and less. Seniors haven't seen any Social Security cost-of-living adjustment increases in years, despite there being massive price inflation, especially for food and energy. Adjusted for real price inflation, Americans receiving Social Security today should be receiving almost triple the amount that they are currently receiving.

9) When the U.S. dollar drops to zero value and it becomes necessary to use gold for daily needs, how will the exchange of goods for gold be accomplished? How do I use a 1 ounce gold coin, with present value of about $1,500, to purchase a loaf of bread and/or a quart of milk, for example? How will these 1 ounce coins be broken down?

It is possible to buy American Eagle and Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins that are as small as 1/10 of an ounce, but NIA strongly recommends against buying these coins because you will likely end up paying a 15% premium for them compared to just a 4% premium for the 1 ounce versions of these coins. We believe silver will be more commonly used for bartering purposes, as silver is currently around $36 per ounce and a few ounces of silver can easily buy a week's worth of groceries for a family. In fact, with the gold/silver ratio currently at 42 despite the fact that only 10 times more silver has been produced in world history than gold (with most of this silver being consumed for industrial purposes never to be seen again), NIA believes silver is undervalued compared to gold and will increase around 3 to 4 times in purchasing power compared to gold this decade. Therefore, it is possible that only 1 ounce of silver could be enough to buy a week's worth of groceries for a family during hyperinflation.

10) One of your stock suggestions from August of 2009 was Capital Gold at $2.48 per share and it was recently acquired by Gammon Gold for $6.56 per share. Do you have any opinions on Gammon?

A few weeks ago one of NIA's co-founders had a meeting with the co-founders of Gammon Gold (they left Gammon years ago and we didn't know them until after Gammon had already acquired Capital Gold). They told us that they have strong confidence in Gammon's current management team. We believe Gammon is a solid company for the long-term, but we also believe there are much bigger opportunities out there. We liked Capital Gold because it was one of the lowest market cap publicly traded gold producers that was profitable with a strong balance sheet. Gammon was very smart for acquiring Capital Gold because it was accretive to their EPS. However, it will be very difficult for Gammon to grow organically. Gammon's future revenue growth will likely come from both rising gold prices and possible further acquisitions. It will be hard for them to find another amazing acquisition opportunity like Capital Gold was. Gammon is changing its corporate name and starting next week will be known as AuRico Gold.

U.S. Economic and Inflation Update, just the facts folks not the fraud

2011-06-06T17:07:00.001-05:00

NIA Releases U.S. Economic and Inflation Update

The official U.S. unemployment rate rose during the month of May to 9.1%, up from 9% in April, with only 54,000 non-farm jobs being created for the month. The real unemployment rate including short and long-term discouraged workers is now 22.3%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) used the birth/death model to produce a positive monthly bias during the month of May of 206,000 jobs, up from 175,000 in April, 117,000 in March, and 112,000 in February. Without the birth/death model, 152,000 jobs were lost during the month of May.

By utilizing the birth/death model, the BLS is assuming that during the month of May, the number of new jobs created by start-up businesses were 206,000 greater than the number of jobs lost from companies going out of business. NIA finds this assumption to be absurd and believes it is likely that jobs lost from companies going out of business were actually much higher than jobs created by new start-up firms. It is obvious to us that the BLS is using the birth/death model to manipulate unemployment figures to make the U.S. employment situation seem far less worse than it truly is. There is absolutely no legitimate reason for the birth/death model upward bias to have increased 84% over the past three months.

McDonald's recently had their own "National Hiring Day" in which they encouraged Americans to apply for new jobs at the company. All together, 1 million Americans applied for 62,000 jobs at McDonald's and over 900,000 Americans had to be turned down. To us, this is a sign that despite government economic statistics that are bottom bouncing from their lows due to the Federal Reserve printing trillions of dollars out of thin air, the U.S. economy is still in a severe downturn without the possibility of a real recovery. It is NIA's belief that the Fed needs to allow the U.S. economy to enter into a severe depression where all bad debts can be liquidated and the free market can rebalance the economy from the ground-floor with a solid foundation.

The fact that the BLS needs to resort to deceptive birth/death model manipulative practices to give the appearance of any job creation, proves that the Federal Reserve's destructive monetary policies of zero percent interest rates and endless money printing are not creating a sustainable reduction in the unemployment rate. Bernanke can claim all he wants that America's inflation is transitory, but the only thing transitory about our economy is the artificial decline in the official U-3 unemployment rate from its peak in October of 2009 of 10.1%. The real unemployment rate has increased since October of 2009 and NIA believes that the official unemployment rate will likely rise back into double-digit territory in 2012.

From October of 2009 until now, the number of employed Americans has increased by 1.09% while the U.S. population has increased by 1.12%. The only reason the official unemployment rate has declined from 10.1% down to 9.1% is a decline in the labor force participation rate from 65.1% down to 64.2%. Based on what the labor force would be today if the participation rate had stayed the same over the past 20 months and factoring in the increasing population, 2.1 million Americans have completely given up looking for work.

The 1.09% increase in employed Americans over the past 20 months comes at the expense of a $1.30 increase in the price of gas from $2.48 to $3.78 per gallon for a gain of 52% during this time period. Many agricultural commodities have increased over the past 20 months by an even greater percentage than gas. Although prices of all commodities are volatile and have many short-term ups and downs, NIA believes that gas prices are heading to $5 per gallon over the next 12 months and food inflation is going to rapidly accelerate in the months and years ahead.

Prices are now beginning to rapidly rise for U.S. goods outside of the food and energy sectors. 90% of sporting goods manufacturers have seen their input costs rise substantially this year and 41% of them have already announced major price increases for athletic apparel, footwear, and sports equipment. As the 8,000 toy manufacturers in China are forced to raise the wages they pay their employees, Toys R' Us is now beginning to see major wholesale price increases for their products, which they will have to pass on to U.S. consumers. Hasbo recently raised prices on all of their products by 6% to 7%. Mattel recently imposed an across the board high single digit price increase after reporting a 33% decline in quarterly profits (despite sales surging by 8%) due to skyrocketing raw material costs.

The U.S. is about to be cut off from its two largest foreign lenders China and Japan, which means the Federal Reserve will need to fund all of the U.S. government's deficit spending through outright money printing. Federal Reserve holdings of U.S. treasuries just reached a new record of $1.532 trillion. Meanwhile, China's U.S. treasury holdings have fallen five months in a row down to $1.145 trillion. Chinese central bankers are now calling for the country to reduce their foreign exchange reserves, which have increased by $200 billion this year up to over $3 trillion. Japan is currently the third largest holder of U.S. treasuries with treasury holdings of $907.9 billion. Unfortunately, Japan is in desperate need to raise $300 billion to fund their rebuilding efforts and this will likely come from them dumping some of their U.S. treasuries, during a time when the U.S. desperately needs Japan to buy more U.S. treasuries than ever before.

If we look back at previous occurrences of hyperinflation in countries like Bolivia and Brazil, hyperinflation broke out as soon as their central banks were forced to begin monetizing the bulk of their government's deficit spending, as foreigners stopped lending. China's inflation crisis is a direct result of the Fed's quantitative easing and the monetary inflation that we have exported to them in return for their sporting goods, toys, and other products they produce. If China stops buying U.S. treasuries and decides to instead use their foreign currency reserves to accumulate gold that can be used to back their own currency, the Fed will have no other choice but to become the U.S. treasury buyer of last resort. Not only will we see quantitative easing to infinity, but we will see the $1.5 trillion in excess reserves currently parked at the Fed enter into the money supply and increase the money supply by as much as $15 trillion.

Besides gold, one place where the Chinese are investing their money in order to diversify out of U.S. dollars is Real Estate. Housing prices in Beijing and Shanghai rose 28% and 26% last year respectively. With concerns that Chinese Real Estate is becoming a bubble, the Chinese are now buying Real Estate in North America. However, they are avoiding the U.S. Real Estate market because of the civil unrest that will take place in major U.S. cities during hyperinflation due to empty store shelves. The most popular destination for the Chinese in North America is Vancouver, where Real Estate prices are now more expensive than New York City. While New York City Real Estate prices still haven't finished deflating, Vancouver Real Estate prices are soaring to new record highs due to Chinese buyers, with the average Vancouver home price rising 14% last year. In the Westside section of Vancouver, housing prices are up 77% since 2005.

Canada's GDP grew by 3.9% in the first quarter of 2011 on an annualized basis, up from 3.1% in the fourth quarter of 2010, 2.5% in the third quarter of 2010, and 2.3% in the second quarter of 2010. Canada's GDP growth has increased for four straight quarters. U.S. GDP growth in the first quarter of 2011 declined to 1.8% on an annualized basis, down from 3.1% in the fourth quarter of 2010. Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper just announced plans on Friday to attract more foreign capital and diversify trade in an attempt to protect Canada from a collapsing U.S. economy.

The U.S. still has a AAA credit rating even with its 2011 budget deficit projected to reach 43% of government expenditures, exactly the same as Brazil's budget deficit as a percentage of expenditures right before they experienced hyperinflation. There is a major charade taking place in Washington today where Republicans are calling for spending cuts to take place in order for them to approve an increase in the debt ceiling. NIA predicts that the debt ceiling will be raised no matter what, most likely at the very last minute. We have zero confidence that Washington will implement any kind of meaningful spending cuts. The U.S. government clearly chose inflation over austerity in its attempt to stimulate the economy. It doesn't make sense for them to reverse course now, because then they will look incompetent for not having chosen austerity to begin with.

The U.S. currently has a budget deficit from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other mandatory programs alone, without even paying the interest on our national debt. Major entitlement spending cuts are necessary if we are going to have even the slightest hope of balancing the budget and preventing hyperinflation. Unfortunately, most Americans have become dependent on entitlement programs and government transfer payments just to survive. These Americans fail to realize that the reason they are dependent on food stamps and other transfer payments to survive is because of the government's deficit spending and the Federal Reserve's massive monetary inflation. Only when the dollar completely collapses and Americans' unemployment and Social Security checks aren't worth enough to pay for the gas needed to drive to the bank to cash them, will they understand the need to elect a President like Ron Paul who will mandate a balanced budget and return the country to sound money, but by that time it will be too late. The only way America will survive as an industrialized nation is if we educate as many Americans as possible to the facts and truth about the U.S. economy that the mainstream media ignores, so that as many Americans as possible can prepare for hyperinflation and we have enough resources to rebuild afterwards.

NIA Releases Educational Report on Options Trading

2011-05-23T16:53:00.001-05:00

NIA has just released its long-awaited free educational report on options trading. You can download NIA's exclusive options report by going to: http://inflation.us/NIA_Educational_Report_Options.pdf

NIA's President just purchased 150 Moody's (MCO) November 2011 $35 put options at $1.98 for a total bet of $29,700 that MCO will decline substantially in value over the next six months.

NIA has been 2 for 3 with options picks so far. In February of 2010, NIA suggested SLV call options that gained at its high by 1,002%. In January of 2011, NIA suggested Ford (F) put options that gained at its high by 183%.

NIA's only options loser was Moody's (MCO) put options in October of 2010 that ended up expiring worthless. MCO has risen 52% since October of 2010 and NIA believes more than ever that this company will have no reason to exist in a few years. Just like how most traditional old-fashioned stock brokerages that rip off their clients with huge commissions will soon be out of business, so will most U.S. credit ratings agencies.

As NIA exposed in its critically acclaimed documentary 'Meltup', which has been viewed by over 1 million people, MCO rated subprime mortgage bonds as AAA that didn't just decline in value, but went to zero. Today they are rating U.S. treasuries as AAA that NIA believes should be rated junk.

NIA has never been compensated in any way for any of its stock or option suggestions whether from any of the companies or a third-party. All of NIA's stock and option suggestions have been completely unbiased.

Options trading is extremely risky and not suitable for all investors. As NIA's explains in its brand new educational report on options trading, there are some options strategies that increase leverage and others that hedge against risk.

NIA is not an investment advisor. Please never make investment decisions based on anything we say. We never encourage our members to buy any stock or option. In fact, we strongly urge our members NOT to buy our stock and option suggestions. We are only suggesting companies for you to do your own research on so that you can make your own investment decisions!

It is important to spread the word about NIA to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, if you want America to survive hyperinflation. Please tell everybody you know to become members of NIA for free immediately at: http://inflation.us

Top 10 New Answers to FAQ about current economics

2011-05-23T06:05:00.001-05:00

Here is a list of NIA's top 10 most important new NIAnswers that we recently added into our database:
1) I am feeling a little worried about the huge drop in silver after it hit a new all time high of nearly $50 per ounce. What do you think is causing it?

We never expected silver to rise to almost $50 per ounce so quickly. Silver simply rose too far too fast and was due for a correction. The correction appears to be almost over with silver showing signs of forming a strong support level. After silver nearly hit $50 per ounce, the CME rose margin requirements substantially. This caused a forced liquidation of hedge funds that were buying silver using leverage. The CME's actions were pure manipulation and done to help their banker friends at JP Morgan who were short 122.5 million ounces of silver. This same thing happened in 1980 after silver first hit $49.45 per ounce and it was later proven that 9 of the 23 COMEX board members were short 38 million ounces of silver. JP Morgan is losing billions of dollars on their short position and without the CME's actions, JP Morgan would have been forced to cover its short position, which would have sent silver to $100 per ounce in just weeks. NIA is pleased that the new Hong Kong Mercantile Exchange will end the COMEX monopoly and make them a lot less likely to manipulate precious metals prices in the future.

NIA is 99.9% sure silver will rise well above $100 per ounce this decade. Based on the current price of gold, a return in the gold/silver ratio to 16 would mean a silver price of $94 per ounce, but we are sure gold will rise many times higher than its current level of $1,508.90 per ounce. In NIA's opinion, the currency crisis won't be over until the Dow Jones/gold ratio returns to 1. The Dow Jones is currently 12,512. Even if gold meets the Dow Jones mid-way at 7,010, it would mean $438 per ounce silver based on a gold/silver ratio of 16.

2) Do you feel now is a good time to trade a good portion of gold for silver?

Yes, with the gold/silver ratio back up to 43, those who exchange their gold for silver now will at a very minimum see their purchasing power increase by 2.6875 times during the next 2 to 3 years if NIA is right and the gold/silver ratio declines to 16 or lower. Silver has dipped enough where we now feel comfortable to start buying it once again using money that we currently have in gold. We are very happy that silver has dipped, because the more time NIA members have to accumulate cheap silver, the more wealth NIA members will gain when hyperinflation hits the U.S.

3) What if Bernanke decides to raise interest rates so high that hyperinflation can be avoided? What happens to silver then?

If Bernanke rose interest rates to let's say 20%, the interest payments on our national debt will soar to approximately $2 trillion per year. Instead of a $1.645 trillion budget deficit we will have a $3.44 trillion budget deficit. The U.S. government will only be able to fund the deficit by having the Fed print the money to buy U.S. treasuries, which would cause hyperinflation. Bernanke is in a very bad position. Even raising interest rates dramatically won't prevent hyperinflation at this point. In NIA's opinion, silver will rise over the long-term no matter what Bernanke does.

Silver may have dipped after reaching a new all time nominal high of near $50 per ounce a few weeks ago, but adjusted for real inflation, when silver hit $49.45 per ounce in 1980 that would equal about $400 per ounce in today's dollars. Silver has not seen its high, we can promise you that. This is a buying opportunity that won't last for long.

4) Would it be more profitable now to buy silver mining shares rather than silver metal?

When silver broke $40 per ounce and made a move to almost $50 per ounce, silver stocks did not make any gains during that $10 rise in silver. It is almost as if the stocks knew silver was running too far too fast and would need to correct. From their highs on April 28th to their closing prices last week, physical silver has declined 29% while silver stocks have only declined 18%. Silver stocks appear to be at a bottom and when the price of physical silver begins to rebound, we believe silver stocks will likely rise 2 to 3 times faster, with a select few small-cap silver stocks rising 4 to 5 times faster than the silver bullion itself.

It is always safer to buy physical silver because mining shares have many different factors affecting them, such as geopolitical risks and the experience of management. However, if you do your homework and spend a lot of time researching silver stocks, there is a lot more money to be made owning the right silver stocks than owning physical silver. Just keep in mind that not all silver stocks will be winners. Some silver mining companies will fail and eventually go out of business.

5) What do you think of the leveraged silver ETF, ProShares Ultra Silver?

ProShares Ultra Silver is designed to make double the daily gains or losses of silver. Silver prices are volatile enough as it is and this ETF isn't suitable for most investors. What especially makes it risky is that leveraged ETFs decay over time. At the end of 2010, ProShares Ultra Silver closed at $158.59 and the regular silver ETF closed at $30.18. Today, the regular silver ETF is $34.18 up 13%, but ProShares Ultra Silver is only $171.94 up just 8%. Therefore, while this leveraged silver ETF may double the regular silver ETF's gains on a daily basis, over longer periods of time the leveraged ETF decays and may not perform as well. ProShares Ultra Silver is only good as a short-term trading vehicle for experienced risk tolerant investors.

6) Will I be able to use my gold and silver coins as money instead of it being taxed as a commodity?

NIA will be supporting Ron Paul for President in the 2012 election, because he will eliminate all taxes on gold and silver. When gold and silver prices go up, it isn't the value of gold and silver that is increasing, but it is the U.S. dollar that is losing its purchasing power. Almost nobody in Washington wants to end taxes on precious metals, because it forces people to continue using U.S. dollars as money.

When Americans eventually abandon the U.S. dollar, politicians won't be able to have the Fed print the money to fund their deficit spending, because the dollar won't have any purchasing power. The U.S. Constitution states that only gold and silver shall be used as legal tender. NIA believes that fiat U.S. dollars are unconstitutional and we must move back to sound money if our country is going to survive as an industrialized nation. However, don't let taxes persuade you not to purchase gold and silver. When hyperinflation arrives, taxes won't matter because you will be able to sell an old pair of tennis shoes to pay off your entire tax bill. During hyperinflation, the government will fund more than 99% of its spending by printing money and less than 1% through taxation.

7) So reading between the lines in the new Senate bill to adjust the 401K, is this the start of the government trying to control these funds like they stole gold from the population back in the 1930s?

The new Senate bill is the government's attempt to stop Americans from borrowing against their 401K so that less Americans are able to buy gold and silver. NIA has countless members who tell us they are borrowing against their 401K in order to buy gold and silver. This is allowing them to protect their 401K money from hyperinflation, because their 401K doesn't give them the option to invest into gold and silver. 401Ks usually only give Americans very limited investment options, which almost always include U.S. treasuries. This is something the government is OK with because it helps fund their deficit spending.

By Americans borrowing against their 401Ks and buying gold and silver, they are betting against the U.S. dollar and the government wants to prevent this. By forcing Americans to invest into U.S. government bonds and not giving them the opportunity to use their savings to buy gold and silver, they are able to steal the purchasing power of Americans through inflation. If everybody was able to buy gold and silver with their 401K money, the U.S. dollar would immediately collapse and the government would have no way of funding its budget deficits.

8) Since the U.S. has reached its debt ceiling, will hyperinflation occur soon after August if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling and the government is forced to default on its debts?

By the government claiming it will default on its debts to foreigners if they aren't able to borrow more and get more deeply into debt, it is admitting to running a ponzi scheme. The debt ceiling will be raised and even if it wasn't, it doesn't mean the U.S. will have to default on its debts. With our current record low interest rates, the U.S. certainly has enough tax revenues to continue making payments on its debts if it made major cuts in other areas of the budget. If the U.S. did default on its debts, that itself wouldn't cause hyperinflation. What will cause hyperinflation is if we continue printing the money to pay back our debts, which is what NIA is deeply concerned about.

9) I was a supporter of Ron Paul, but was horrified by his comments that he thinks it's a good idea for the U.S. to sell its gold. Some day the U.S. may need its gold to go back on a gold standard. What are your thoughts?

We believe Ron Paul is only saying this because he doesn't believe our gold reserves actually exist at Fort Knox. The last real audit of our gold reserves took place in 1954. In the audit that supposedly took place in 2005, KPMG LLP only audited the mint's fiscal year 2005 financial statements and never saw any physical gold or even went to Fort Knox.

By suggesting we sell our gold reserves to help pay off our national debt, we feel Ron Paul is only trying to get Congress talking about our gold reserves. He wants to make it a mainstream political issue so that the public demands an audit of Fort Knox and our nation's gold reserves. NIA agrees with Ron Paul that we need to audit our gold reserves and find out if the gold we are supposed to have really still exists.

If in 1971 the U.S. government was forced to admit that it couldn't pay the gold it owed to foreigners and defaulted on its gold obligations by ending the gold standard, NIA believes the odds are that our gold reserves either no longer exist or have been compromised in some way. NIA does not support selling our gold reserves and we don't think Ron Paul truly does either. Don't worry, if Ron Paul says that he supports selling our gold reserves, the rest of Congress will automatically want to do the opposite.

10) I would like to gain more knowledge financially. Where should I start? What should I do to gain more advanced knowledge?

The way NIA's co-founders became economic and stock market experts was from a very young age, reading the SEC filings of publicly traded companies. Every single day, they would read the latest annual report called a 10-K of a company they were interested in and had knowledge about.

NIA's co-founders started to do this when they were just kids. They would read the 10-Ks of companies that produced video games, action figures, or other items that they bought as kids. It is amazing just how much financial knowledge you pick up this way. If you don't understand some of the terminology contained inside of a 10-K, then simply go to http://investopedia.com and look up the word in their glossary.

For somebody who is starting from scratch or already has basic financial knowledge and wants to become an expert on the stock market, these simple steps are by far the best way to go. You will learn a lot more this way than by going to any college. If this is something you are truly interested in and have a passion for, you will have a lot of fun and enjoy doing it.

We suggest picking a different company each day from our stock suggestion page and if it is an American company, reading its annual report by going to http://sec.gov and clicking on "Search for Company Filings" and searching for the company's name and pulling up their latest 10-K. If it is a Canadian based company on the TSX you will need to go to http://sedar.com and search for its annual report there.

NIA is not an investment advisor. NIA's NIAnswers are meant for informational and educational purposes only. Never make investment decisions based on any information contained in any of NIA's NIAnswers. Just because many of NIA's previous economic predictions and forecasts were accurate, doesn't mean NIA's future economic predictions and forecasts will be accurate. All of NIA's predictions and forecasts could turn out to be completely wrong.

Mainstream Media Finally Acknowledging College Bubble

2011-05-20T15:25:00.001-05:00

Mainstream Media Finally Acknowledging College Bubble
The National Inflation Association would like to congratulate its members for helping spread the word during the past week about America's college tuition bubble and how college education is the largest scam in U.S. history. After NIA's release of 'College Conspiracy' on Saturday, May 14th, over 340,000 people have watched the documentary in its first six days of release, with many thousands of Americans tweeting about the movie on Twitter and sharing the movie on Facebook. Because of your help in spreading NIA's message, the New York Times finally felt compelled to admit the truth and write a cover story Thursday morning discussing some of the facts that NIA exposed in 'College Conspiracy'. Bloomberg, NBC News, the Washington Post, and many other mainstream media outlets, also came out with their own reports in recent days exposing some of the facts from 'College Conspiracy'.
On Thursday's cover of the New York Times, Catherine Rampell wrote an article entitled 'Many With New College Degree Find the Job Market Humbling'. According to the New York Times article, only 56% of college graduates in 2010 were able to get a job by this spring, compared to 90% of the graduates in years 2006 and 2007. Only half of those finding a job, found a job where their degree was required. The median starting salary for college graduates last year was $27,000, down 10% from the $30,000 starting income in years 2006 to 2008.
One of NIA's expert guests in 'College Conspiracy' was Brian Mackey, a national recruitment manager for GEI Consultants. He said in our movie that 60% of college graduates are now being employed in low skill jobs where their college degree wasn't even required. NIA's research has uncovered that 70% of high school graduates have been successful at getting these exact same jobs without even needing a college degree. Mackey also pointed out in 'College Conspiracy' that 20% all new waiter and waitress positions are being filled by college graduates. The New York Times article added to Mackey's point, reporting in their cover story that college graduates aged 25 to 34 working in the food service industry at bars and restaurants increased 17% in 2009 over 2008.
Bloomberg aired a live television segment on Thursday, 'Is a 4-Year College Degree Worth the Cost?' and cited a poll that shows 57% of U.S. adults say college is not worth the price with 75% of U.S. adults saying college is unaffordable. Bloomberg had on a guest Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit.com, who said, "there are plenty of students out there who would really benefit from just avoiding a lot of the college stuff and just trying to create something". NIA agrees with Ohanian that the experience of trying to create a job in the real world will do most Americans a lot more good than getting deeply into debt to attend college. Ohanian says that his company and other firms in Silicon Valley hire employees based entirely on their experience and past accomplishments and not a college degree.
NBC News anchor Brian Williams came out with a report Thursday night about the college bubble in a segment entitled, 'Education Nation'. Williams reported many of the basic facts from 'College Conspiracy' including that student loans are one of the few types of debts you can't get rid of in bankruptcy and that total student loan debt is now above $800 billion and exceeds credit card debt. NBC News spoke to one prospective student who has chosen to attend a community college rather than the prestigious $50,000 per year school she was accepted to, saying, "I don't want to graduate with a bachelor's degree with $80,000 worth of debt."
According to the NBC News report, Tidewater Community College in Virginia is now requiring students who apply for a student loan to complete a worksheet detailing their future ability to pay the loan back. Although NIA applauds Tidewater for taking the initiative, we find it absurd that the U.S. government doesn't already do this. The U.S. government gives out student loans to practically anybody, regardless of their future ability to pay the loan back. This is complete insanity, because not only is this the reason tuition inflation is so high, but it will be all U.S. taxpayers and holders of U.S. dollars who will end up paying for these bad debts.
The Washington Post published an article this week entitled, 'The Real Debt Crisis', which reported that 85% of college graduates this year will be moving back home to live with their parents. The Post discussed the stunning growth in for-profit colleges from year 2000 to 2008, which saw a 225% increase in enrollments from 670,000 to 1.6 million. The five largest for-profit colleges are receiving 77% of their revenues from government loans and grants.
In 'College Conspiracy', NIA discussed how an NIA member who is the owner of a private vocational school is forced to raise tuitions every time the government increases financial aid to students. This is due to the 90/10 rule, which mandates for-profit colleges to receive at least 10% of their revenues from private sources. It is insane that the government would even need a 90/10 rule. This is just another example of government legislation that was passed solely to deal with the problems created by the government's own programs and regulations.
Up until this week, the mainstream media completely ignored the college bubble, just like how they previously for many years ignored the Real Estate bubble. Up until the Real Estate bubble began to burst in 2006, the media encouraged Americans to take out no money down interest only subprime mortgage loans to buy a house at a monthly mortgage payment that was double the cost to rent that same house. The media proclaimed that housing prices can only go up and that Americans who didn't buy a house would be priced out of the market forever. The media brainwashed the public to look down at renters as if they were incompetent and throwing their money away, even though they were putting a roof over their head at a very affordable price and are in much better financial shape today.
After the Real Estate bubble began to burst in 2006, which led to the financial crisis of 2008, the media began proclaiming the new best investment to be a college degree. Whereas in the past, Americans didn't need a job, they would simply take out mortgages to buy multiple houses and live off of the appreciation in home values; now that Americans needed to get a job, the media began brainwashing them into believing that college degrees were their passport to prosperity. The media promoted myths that NIA has proven in 'College Conspiracy' to be completely made up lies, like that college graduates earn $1 million more in lifetime income than high school graduates without a degree. The media also frequently cited and gave credibility to phony research reports that projected there to be major employee shortages in different fields, all of which turned out not to be true.
Up until the release of 'College Conspiracy' this week, the mainstream media never did a thing to warn Americans about a college bubble. Not once did anybody in the mainstream media ever connect the dots and tell the truth that college tuitions are rising as a direct result of government financial aid. The media simply published articles on how to save money for college and why parents should setup college savings accounts for their children. The media brainwashed the public to look down at parents who didn't send their kids to college, with the notion that if you don't go to college and get a college degree, you will never have a successful career.
NIA believes the U.S. government needs to end all financial aid to students immediately. There is nothing in the U.S. constitution that authorizes the U.S. government to be in the student loan business. If there were no government student loans and grants, all Americans would be able to afford college and the quality of education would be far superior to what it is today.
It is important to spread the word about NIA to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, if you want America to survive hyperinflation. Please tell everybody you know to become members of NIA for free immediately at: http://inflation.us

Lemons and Cancer - VERY Important read

2011-05-16T18:34:00.001-05:00

Lemons and Cancer -

Eating a Lemon is lot Healthier than eating an Orange ........ LEMON   will clean all your INTESTINES.. Which orange don't ...

LISTEN UP FOLKS:
This is something that we should all take seriously. Even doctors are now saying that there in value in trying "LEMON"


A must-read-
The surprising benefits of lemon!
I remain perplexed!
================================
Institute of Health Sciences, 819 N. L.L.C. Charles Street Baltimore , MD 1201.
This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer!
Read carefully & you be the judge.
Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.
Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations? As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders.
The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ... The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

NIA Issues Important Press Release

2011-05-16T09:44:00.001-05:00

'College Conspiracy' has already received over 110,000 views in just 36 hours. Out of hundreds of millions of videos on YouTube, it is currently the #11 top favorited video of the day in all categories. All 10 of the videos favorited more than 'College Conspiracy' during the past day are truly mind-numbing. It is a real shame what type of content our youth spend their days watching when they could be self-educating themselves about any field of their choice over the Internet so that they can one day have a successful career and help stop the U.S. from becoming a third-world nation.

NIA just issued the following press release officially announcing the launch of 'College Conspiracy' to the education industry. This press release went out a few minutes ago to the nationwide US1 education newswire and to two special education microlists, which includes thousands of college administrators and higher education journalists.

College Education is a Scam Says New Documentary

FORT LEE, N.J., May. 16 /PRNewswire/ The National Inflation Association - http://inflation.us - today officially released the most comprehensive documentary ever produced about higher education in the U.S. NIA's hour-long documentary called 'College Conspiracy' exposes the facts and truth about America's college education system. 'College Conspiracy' was produced over a six-month period by NIA's team of expert Austrian economists with the help of thousands of NIA members who contributed their ideas and personal stories for the film. NIA believes the U.S. college education system is a scam that turns vulnerable young Americans into debt slaves for life.

NIA tracks price inflation in all U.S. industries and there is no industry that has seen more consistent price inflation this decade than college education. After the burst of the Real Estate bubble, student loans are now the easiest loan to receive in the U.S., and total student loan debts now exceed credit card debts. The government gives out easy student loans to anybody, regardless of grades, credit history, what they are majoring in, and what their job prospects are. NIA believes it is illegal for the U.S. government to be in the student loan business because the U.S. constitution doesn't authorize it. Just like how the U.S. government created Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make housing affordable, but instead drove housing prices through the roof; the U.S. government, by trying to make college more affordable, is accomplishing the exact opposite and driving tuition prices to astronomical levels that provide a negative return on investment.

The U.S. has been experiencing 5.15% annual college tuition inflation this decade. Despite this, 70.1% of high school graduates are now enrolling into college, a new all time record. 2/3 of college students are now graduating with an average of $24,000 in debt. There is nothing special about getting a college degree if everyone else has one, and it is certainly not worth getting $24,000 into debt to camouflage yourself into the crowd. NIA's President is friends with hundreds of CEOs of mid-sized corporations who tell him that someone who skipped college is a lot more likely to stand out amongst the hundreds of applicants who apply for each job available.

The real unemployment rate in America is now 22% and 60% of college graduates who are lucky enough to find a job, are receiving low skilled jobs where a college degree isn't even required. In fact, 70% of high school graduates who didn't go to college, were able to get these very same jobs as the average college graduate. The main difference is, by the time Americans who went to college get their degree, those who went straight into the work force after high school will already have 4 to 6 years of valuable workplace experience. Instead of having $24,000 in debt, these experienced Americans will be working their way up to a higher paid position or a better job at a different company.

All across America, colleges are deceiving prospective students with misleading and often fraudulent tactics and statistics. The fact is, law schools are handing out 43,000 law degrees each year, when there are 15,000 less attorney and legal staff jobs in the U.S. than three years ago. Many law schools are advertising a 90% job placement rate within one year of graduating. However, weeks before job placement surveys are conducted, some law schools will hire unemployed graduates to work in their admissions department. They are let go as soon as these surveys are completed, but count as being part of the 90% employed.

'College Conspiracy' also exposes how three years ago when 15 new pharmacist schools were getting ready to open in the U.S., the college cartel created a pharmacist shortage hoax to scam Americans into investing hundreds of thousands of dollars to attend pharmacist school. NIA has uncovered how economists were bribed to produce phony studies that forecast the need for 150,000 new pharmacists in America by 2020. Today, NIA is hearing from many young Americans who were deceived into getting pharmacist degrees and can't find any pharmacist jobs no matter how many they apply for. These Americans are now deeply in debt and admit that they would have been better off getting minimum wage jobs stocking shelves somewhere.

NIA is very pro-education and dedicated to educating its members to the truth about the U.S. economy and inflation for free. Americans who read NIA's articles and watch NIA's documentaries for one year are guaranteed to learn more about the U.S. economy than they would have learned studying economics at an ivy league college for 4 years. NIA believes that in today's world, any young American who is motivated to become well educated and have a successful career, can become self-educated by simply reading college textbooks and using the Internet.

Americans today need to change their mindsets. Instead of worrying about getting a job, they need to focus on making a job. Not only is it possible to become educated online at a low cost, but it is also possible to start an online business with almost no overhead expenses. The current system in America that everybody follows of studying useless information to get good grades in high school, taking out a student loan, going to college, taking out a mortgage, buying a house, and getting married, is setup to transfer wealth through inflation from the middle-class to bankers and lawyers who produce nothing for society. Americans need to stop being sheep and learn how to think for themselves.

We have decided to hold off on our press release officially announcing the launch of the movie to the education industry until tomorrow morning! Those who watch 'College Conspiracy' tonight are watching it before the official launch to the rest of the world!

Please spread the word about 'College Conspiracy' to all of your family members, friends, and business associates, as soon as possible! This is a movie that the whole world needs to see!

Here is what some people are saying so far about 'College Conspiracy':

"another? stunner!"

"I thought this was coming out tomorrow? Oh well thanks for the early release NIA. I wouldn't be surprised if this film reaches a million views within the next few days? considering how many views 'The day the dollar collapsed' has so far."

"i am making it right now financially, but i fell into this scam for a while. the payments are pretty brutal on my bank account. i have considered just telling them to f*** off, but i don't know what will happen. i would like to live somewhere other than an apartment? complex some day."

"YES!!! I've been waiting for this!! Thank you! Now, to show this doc to the damn? sheeps in my neighborhood."

"this brought tears? to my eyes."

"watch the video, it says it all.?"

"This? is a good video to promote Ron Paul's campaign."

"Dickerson Cattle Company..."You don't get a job you make one" Darol Dickerson...perfect!, wonderfully expressed ...sort of like I always state..."you are your? own job"...you are a walking job...now, go out and make progress."

"This? is good really good keep it up"

"This is another way of cutting down on the population.With the payments most? people can't afford children."

"Oh btw I'm 22 and trade? stocks for a living. F*** College ;)"

"Thanks? for another great video NIA. I was duped into attending a 4yr university and sold a bill of goods that my business degree would pay in spades. I have learned more in 2 years of digging for truth on the internet, than the 18yrs I spent sitting in a classroom listening to teachers/professors regurgitate horses**t from obsolete books."

"For over a year I have been converting all disposable income from worthless fiat into Au and Ag. S**t is going to hit the fan and I will be prepared."

"It has Gerald? Celente in it so this documentary is guaranteed to be completely true."

"yep this is all true. I only have watched the first 3 minutes. I owe 60k on college. my parents owe 20k and the tax payers covered the other third of that. I now work in transportation and make ok money but I don't use my? degree because I couldn't find a job in the field I studied for. oh well. "

"My entire life in the NZ education system I was told repeatedly 'you wont be qualified to clean toilets without a degree' Took 30k in student? loan debt to figure they were right, because thats exactly what the university graduates are doing. Working for those who had the insight and balls to do their own thing."

"Glad to say I have spent the past 3 years earning and stacking silver. They get their money when the 30k inflates so 1oz pays it. Thank god our student loans are interest free"

"I was almost pulled into this monsters ( AKA college) grasp I attended one year of school then I found that I was more intelligent then even most of my professors. They could only spew the crap from the text books. So I started to do my own research witch eventually lead me to NIA. I'm still in a world of? hurt from one year of college but nothing like what most will be in when TSHTF."

"sweet great? job nia u hit the nail on the head with this one "

"Now? i realize why i hate so much to the economists, because they are no longer economists they are keynesians"

"Finally NIA released a new vid!! was going through mad withdraw?"

"the end of this video is true. I learned more on youtube about politics and? economics than my entire schooling combined."

"Love this! Have been preaching this premise for many years, but you guys have just PILED ON the undeniable FACTS..."

"Well done 5***** will recommend and add to favorites. Eye opening and inspiring, NIA will go down as one of the? most informative and well known documentaries of our era. I was told that if I go to college I would make $30,000 a year and I still live with family 3 years later, wow."

"Wow! Another revolutionary documentary just exactly one? year after one of the best films ever made called: Meltup"

"AWESOME!!!!!!!! As a college grad, I can attest? to what was very well put!"

"I had 4 diplomas and one degree coming I quit in the middle of my last class before I? was to graduate! I told them to f***ing Keep'em! True story people! F*** them people! They dont live in reality!"

"I've been doing plumbing, Heating & Cooling for 4 years and I say f*** college and all the debt that comes with it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"My sister-in-law graduated to day with a BS in Education. All she can get right? now is a substitute position... and there are no substitutes needed. She's nearly $50,000 in debt. My brother graduated last November with a BA in Business Administration. He had to take a job as a glorified bank teller. He kept spewing the same old nonsense at me about going to college. When I asked him if having his degree helped him get his job. He had to admit, it had nothing to do with getting the job."

"I have been following these videos for about? a year now ... best education I have ever received !!! Thank you !"

"Great documentary!"

"Thank God for NIA. I have learned sooo much about our countries poor economic policies, and what I can do to protect my family. I truly feel bad for anyone that not only ignores but argues against the logic of what will inevitably be the GREATEST DEPRESSION fueled by hyper inflation. It? always feels good to be right and taunt others with "ha ha. I told you so." but in this case being wrong is more comforting. I dont want to see my loved ones suffer, but I know suffering is coming. "

"amazing video! thank you so much for all of your hard work!!!!!! i am a college graduate with over 30K of student loan debt. it totally controls my life and is a crazy joke.? They are about to garnish my wages.....who cares...i will never pay these loans I swear on my life and they can kiss my A**!!!!!!!!!"

"Excellent documentary! My best friend owes about 300K in student loans. She knows she will never pay it back and you can never declare bankruptcy against them. I'm grateful I moved out of state and dropped out and didn't go back. The only scam bigger than the college bubble is the entire money and banking system. "
"Groundbreaking, Eye-opening. Just plain awesome! "

"Hilarious, because it is so true! I love the dramatic background music!"

"Since I started at NIA I have become educated in economics. I have purchased physical silver. I have learned about sq.ft. gardening, medicine, and mechanics. I have saved food, invented a water purification system, and have generally become prepared for a crash. If the crash never comes I still have become a more realistic family man, and have enjoyed every second of my new? education. Thanks to NIA. This film was enlightening insight that I can impart on my Grandchildren. Thanks you are Hero's.."

"Fantastic Job! Excellent Video! The Most Professional Video I have seen? to date on Youtube"

"I subscribed to this channel over a month ago and I have been hooked? on all of your videos. Definitely taking the message of your videos seriously. "

"This is an excellent film for those that truly want to succeed in life. It unveils the truth about the deception and the collusion between the Government and the colleges. Motivation and ambition cannot be taught in any university. To become successful and financially free, you most have? a passion and a burning desire to succeed. Find your niche, love it and be the best you can at it without going deep into debt. "

"I'm so glad NIA made this movie because it is so true what they say about college. I have a B.A. degree and haven't found anything better than part time work since I graduated. I have a friend who has a B.S. in Engineering from an ivy league who is still? unemployed after graduating. My cousin has a masters in IT and can only find part time work at a call center. And the list can go on and on for millions of college graduates not only in the US but in other countries as well."

"fantastic video. this is a? must watch"

"Very Well Done Documentation of some Cold truth"

"great film?"

"Excellent video.?"

"This makes me want? to drop out of college!"

"Absolutely? excellent video"

"As a young guy who was born in 1988 and went to 3 different Highschools, I agree with this video 100%. All they ever told me was to? go to college and then AAAALL my dreams would come true."

"Thumbs up to Gerard Adams, a real patriot.?"

"Nice work! Continue with? the message"

"This is an outstanding video. I couldnt agree more about the future of higher education. I have 3 degrees obtained in the 90's. I own my own successful business. My kids wont be attending traditional 4 year university. I can teach them everything? they need to know. The money set aside for their education will be their interest free start up capital for their own business. Well done video. 5 stars."

"Great video.. Makes a lot of sense and I hope it becomes a wake-up call to the public."

"the? BEST documentary yet"

"Thank you NIA! I learned so much about economy from your website other? then anything. I am going to share this video to all people I know on facebook. Guys and gals, you gotta do the same!"

"This was a? complete eye opener. Since I became a member of NIA a couple of years back, I have taken measures in preparing for the upcoming economic collapse"

"Inflation.US has to watch out now because the new world order may try to smear or intimidate you for this? video because it is powerful and I know a lot of college students will look at this video."

"nice video guys,? thanks"

"thanks NIA and everyone who helped? make this video, thumbs up to show them love and support!!"

"This video is NOT bashing education. It's simply exposing the scam that ridiculously overcharges students with the cost of tuition that schools charge, with the promise of them guaranteeing a good job, job security, and knowledge that one can't obtain anywhere else."

"I feel much better for not having a college degree after watching this film hehe. Most collegy educated dumb a** i talk? to sounds like an idiot anyway..."

"Excellent video!"

"Gerald Celente is excellent? in this video in usual."

"Amazing. Share this video like you would share a justin bieber video. Get the f***ing word out. The? education bubble is going to pop. Colleges are over saturated thus making degrees worthless while putting people into life-long debt. "

"I'm kicking myself for? going to college. I thought I was smarter than that, I went to college after all."

"awesome video! NIA is? a wonderful organization"

"NIA really does produce some thought provoking documentaries! This one is no exception... we really must move our educational system to a online distribution method, that would lower costs and make it possible to connect the best teachers in the? world to kids in school! ...education should not be demoted but must be revamped!"

"This Video is very informative and it has open my eyes not to go to GRAD SCHOOL and waste money. College Industrial Complex. Your School Loans are paying for universities new dorms and etc.."

"thanks a lot NIA for this? eyeopener"

"FANTASTIC!?"

"Lawyers make little to add value to society. I've been thinking that for SO many years. The law? should be known to everyone, there shouldn't be any particular guru to consult when thinking "Is this legal?" Law like exists now is just corruption on paper."

"Brilliant educational video clip? on worthless degrees."

"This? was a really good video. Thanks for posting this video. I feel more educated and enlightened."

"I dropped out of high school. I have been operating heavy machinery since. Today I am a crane operator and do 105k? a year without a GED. (I pick stuff up and put 'em down). I built my own house on 45 acres. I'd put my skills up against a college grad any day! I also have 28 shoe boxes of silver bars and coins."

"all I can say is in my own personal experience (going to college & working in a higher education environment...)? that everything said in this video is true. "

"This is a truly terrifying look at what's happening in our country currently. Everything is unraveling at a rate that would have been unthinkable in 2005, when I was leaving military technical training. Now I find myself hurrying to complete a Bachelors of? Science in Computer Information Systems that will not only be worthless but a liability when hyperinflation begins in 2014"
"Great job? guys. WAKE UP SHEEP!!!"

"Ive seen people get their check for their? student loan and immediately run and buy some drugs... smh. way to go."

"Wake up, sheep! ANYTHING financed by the gov't rather than the free market is destined to fail economically: retirement, education, health care...? it doesn't matter what system you want to analyze... a free market, not socialism, is the only proper government when money is involved. Yes, unfortunately, some people would not be able to survive because their level of stupidity won't allow them to compete in a free market, but better to have a system that works for most of the people than for none."

"This is what I call a good documentary!? Good job NIA."

"Excellent Video. Thank you so much? NIA."

"Thank you SO much NIA.? Unfortunately, many people will chose not to heed your warnings. These actions will lead to outright class warfare and revolution. Totalitarian crackdowns, martial law, and outright civil war are truly on our horizon. If there is any hope for us it is to seek out others that are awake and band together in close physical proximity in strength..."

"This? documentary is a 'must-see' for the entire country. Well done!"

"well done?"

"Finally this comes out! I've been waiting for this. Its absolutely amazing and I recommend this to anybody. ? The fact remains that the government seeping into the college educational system and its finances has absolutely incinerated the once prosperous education system we used to have. America and Americans all over need to get their head straight to survive incoming hyper-inflation."

"wow i was just going? to watch like 3mins of this video and i ended watching it all "

"Great documentary and worth seeing. I'm glad I am prepared and will be part of the 'NEW RICH' once the US Dollar fails and MILLIONS of people will lose EVERYTHING? THEY OWN because of their holding of US denominated paper assets."

"Excellent and informing video!! Gerard why don't you run for POTUS!!! I am very serious, you would have my vote! ? Thanks again for all of your wisdom."
"once again great video.?"

"Thank you so much for the upload. Absolutely mindblowing? doc."

"Once again, you guys did an? awesome piece of work. Thanks for everything!!!"

"Actually, thanks to NIA i was able to accumulate enough silver at $18/ounce to pay off all four years of my college education. NIA is doing more to educate Americans about the economy? and what is going on behind the scenes than any other news source I know of. And thanks to them I am financially independent of the death grip of student loans. How about a thumbs up for that."

"One Hell of a VIDEO!!!!!!!!? CONGRATS TO NIA FOR OPENING OUR EYES!!!! "

"As a teacher, I say a vigorous AMEN!!!! I have been arguing with others in the educational system about this for years! I'll be sharing this video! The 72 people who dislike this? video are sheep who can't think for themselves and believe whatever the "system" tells them."

"THIS? VIDEO HITS IT OUT OF THE BALL PARK !!!"

'College Conspiracy' Just Released!

2011-05-15T05:34:00.001-05:00

We just released 'College Conspiracy' a day early so that NIA members can see the movie before we issue our press release tomorrow morning to not just the nationwide education news wire, but to thousands of college administrators and education journalists through two special education microlists.

Please watch 'College Conspiracy' immediately and spread the word to every single one of your friends, family members, and co-workers: http://inflation.us/videos.html

It is up to every single one of you to help make this movie a success by spreading the word to as many people as possible. Considering how our latest video 'The Day the Dollar Died' has now reached close to 2 million views in 6 months, we are very optimistic that we can get 'College Conspiracy' to be seen by an even larger audience.

We need to get millions of people to watch 'College Conspiracy' if we are going to expose what we believe is the largest scam in U.S. history! NIA is the most pro-education organization in the world, but the college bubble we have today is destroying the lives of millions of Americans who deserve to be receiving a much higher quality of education for only a fraction of the cost.

As you watch this documentary, we hope that you notice and appreciate the quality of work that we put into it. We hired one of the best Hollywood animators and a famous Hollywood narrator to help make this movie our most impressive and professional documentary of all time. It took us three months just to write the script, which used many of the ideas that were submitted to us by NIA members.

We would like to give our most sincere thank you to the thousands of NIA members who emailed us suggestions of topics to cover and expert guests to interview!

'College Conspiracy' is going to open up the minds of millions of students who have been brainwashed their entire lives by the propaganda in the mainstream media. We are a nation of sheep, where nobody thinks for themselves and everybody follows the same system. The system we have today turns everybody into debt slaves, while the Federal Reserve allows bankers on Wall Street to steal the wealth of middle-class Americans through inflation.

Now is the time for all young Americans to think outside of the box and become self-educated. Don't rely on others to provide jobs for you. Go out there and make a job yourself!

Watch 'College Conspiracy' right away at: http://inflation.us/videos.html

NIA's entire staff worked day and night for the past six months producing this movie. Now is your turn to help make a difference by spreading the word!

Colleges Deceiving Public with Myths and Hoaxes

Colleges Deceiving Public with Myths and Hoaxes

The National Inflation Association's eagerly anticipated must see hour-long documentary being released on Sunday, May 15th, 'College Conspiracy', will expose college education as the largest scam in U.S. history. NIA's latest special video 'The Day the Dollar Died' has now surpassed 1,750,000 views in less than six months, averaging over 10,000 views per day. NIA considers 'College Conspiracy' to be its most important and informative economic video ever produced in history.

'College Conspiracy' will debunk many myths, including the belief that Americans with college degrees earn $1 million more in lifetime income compared to high school graduates without a college degree. The most important basic fact that most Americans don't understand about 4-year colleges is that most Americans spend 6 years attending them before graduating. With U.S. tuition inflation for private colleges averaging 5.15% over the past half a decade, assuming this same rate of tuition inflation continues, a college with tuition of $30,000 today will have tuition of $38,563 in the sixth year a student attends it. In 'College Conspiracy', NIA analyzes the total cost to attend college by factoring in not just rapidly rising tuition expenses, but also the interest payments on student loans, and the lost income that college students would have earned if they worked at an average entry-level job that doesn't require a college degree.

NIA's investigation has determined that the organizations that helped create and promote the $1 million in additional income myth, included General Equivalency Diploma (GED) recipients as being high school graduates. The truth is, GED recipients are not real high school graduates and they are being used to unfairly skew down the average income of high school graduates without a college degree. This has the effect of artificially inflating the amount of additional lifetime income that college graduates earn over high school graduates. 'College Conspiracy' will show the real numbers that never get discussed in the mainstream media.

The college-industrial complex has created not only myths, but outright hoaxes, in order to scam American students into becoming indentured servants for life. Three years ago when 15 new pharmacist schools were about to open in the U.S., the college cartel bribed economists to come out with phony research reports showing that the U.S. was experiencing a huge shortage of pharmacists. The reports said that 150,000 new pharmacists would be needed in the U.S. by 2020 due to the aging babyboomer population and a huge boom in 24-hour pharmacies being built nationwide. Today, NIA is receiving reports of pharmacies on the east coast receiving 300 applications for each new pharmacist job opening.

As NIA will show in 'College Conspiracy', the value of a college degree today is close to zero, with some degrees being more worthless than others. One of our many expert guests in 'College Conspiracy' is Gerald Celente, editor of The Trends Journal at http://www.trendsresearch.com. According to Mr. Celente, colleges are handing out "degrees in worthlessness" in social studies, philosophy, art history, women's studies, minority studies, foreign affairs, public administration, corporate management, and marketing. Instead of getting deeply into debt and wasting many years of your life to obtain a "degree in worthlessness", NIA believes more Americans should seek to become an apprentice under someone who is highly qualified and experienced in their field of interest.

All parts of the college education industry are saturated with corruption, yet students and their parents still fail to realize that college administrators no longer care about what is in the best interest of their students. One segment of the college education industry that is perhaps the most highly enriched with corruption is the textbook business. In a high tech world of Kindles and iPads, there is no reason for students to be spending $200 each on eight new textbooks each semester. The information should come free with the cost of tuition.
Twenty years ago, $200 was enough to buy all of the required textbooks for an entire year of college. If the free market was allowed to operate, there would be a vibrant market for used textbooks and $200 would still be enough to purchase a year's worth of textbooks. However, in what can be described in no other way than collusion, colleges today are accepting kickbacks from book publishers to force students to buy "custom" textbooks that are created for that specific college. Some of these custom textbooks include special codes inside that students need in order to do their homework online. Each semester, the book publishers release new slightly revised versions of each custom textbook. This makes old textbooks practically worthless and steals from the wealth of students.
We need to begin teaching our youth from a very early age that the key to having a successful career is not attending college, but is thinking outside of the box. Since it is now possible to acquire used college textbooks for practically nothing, instead of getting deeply into debt to attend college for a degree that is worthless because everybody else has one, students should acquire college textbooks in the field of their choice and begin reading them. Students who are motivated with a strong desire to build a successful career can self-educate themselves. Most college professors failed to make a living in the field that they teach, which is why they became professors. Therefore, students are not missing out on anything by not having a professor there to teach them the same information they can learn on their own.
High schools in America have become nothing other than infomercials for higher education. All across the country, high schools have been eliminating shop, home economics, and art classes. Any type of class that teaches students how to produce something real and tangible is apparently not good enough to be a part of high school curriculums anymore. NIA believes high schools went in the completely wrong direction. Instead of eliminating classes that teach very important lifelong skills, high schools in the U.S. should be adding classes that teach the basics regarding plumbing; electrical work; sewing; computer, television, and cell phone repair; and construction. Students who gain these basic skills will be best positioned to perform valuable services during hyperinflation that can be exchanged for goods or other services.
Not only do high schools waste students' time by teaching them courses they will never need to have knowledge about in the real world, but colleges force students to take courses that have nothing to do with their major. There is absolutely no rational reason for a student majoring in electrical engineering to be required to take classes in history, humanity, sociology, and economics. It is because of these worthless courses that it takes some students six years to graduate college and learn what they could have learned in just one year of self-education. Instead of getting deeply into debt for five wasted years, self-educated students can be working at an entry-level job during those five years where they accumulate valuable work place experience.
Although many Americans are spoiled nowadays and consider entry-level jobs to be beneath them, NIA believes Americans need to realize that with or without a college degree, they should be happy, grateful, and appreciative to have any job in today's economy. The fact of the matter is, 60% of college graduates since 1992 are now employed in positions that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) considers to be "low skilled". Meaning, for the majority of college graduates, they didn't need their college degree to get the job that they have today.

NIA's President Gerard Adams is in regular contact with the CEOs of over one hundred large multi-million dollar corporations and only about a dozen of them are hiring at this time. Of the dozen or so companies that are hiring, 100% of them are choosing who to hire based entirely on their experience and passion for the work that they do. None of them care one iota about whether or not the applicant has a college degree. Shockingly, several CEOs recently told Mr. Adams that in today's world, those who didn't attend college are actually more likely to stand out from the crowd.

'College Conspiracy' the Documentary Coming on May 15th

2011-05-10T21:14:00.001-05:00

The National Inflation Association (NIA) is getting ready to release its latest feature documentary 'College Conspiracy'. NIA intends to release the movie 5 days from now on Sunday, May 15th. 'College Conspiracy' will be the most comprehensive documentary ever produced that exposes the facts and truth about U.S. college education, which NIA considers to be the largest scam in American history.

Despite college tuition inflation being the most consistent form of price inflation over the past decade, 70.1% of high school graduates are currently enrolling into college, a new record. The value of a college degree is declining even faster than tuitions are skyrocketing in price, but students are being brainwashed by the college-industrial complex, which is working in cahoots with the mainstream media and U.S. government to turn students into indentured servants for life.

Back in 1960, only 45.1% of American high school students enrolled into college. However, during the following 8 year period from 1960 to 1968, the number of high school graduates enrolling into college increased by 90.5%. America's college enrollment rate broke 50% for the first time in 1965 and reached a high in 1968 of 55.4%.

Most people don't realize what caused the majority of Americans to begin enrolling into college. The initial dramatic increase was caused almost entirely by the Vietnam War. Attending college was a valid exemption to avoid the draft for the Vietnam War. With millions of Americans not wanting to risk their lives by fighting in a war, attending college was an easy way to get out of the draft. The draft was used as a powerful persuasive device to convince Americans to attend college.

After the college enrollment rate reached a peak in 1968 of 55.4%, as the draft came to an end, it dropped over the next 6 years to a low in 1974 of 47.5%. 11 years later in 1985, the college enrollment rate reached a new record high of 57.7%. Since then, the college enrollment rate has increased steadily to its current record level of 70.1%. 'College Conspiracy' will expose why college enrollment rates have risen to artificially high levels and why a major collapse in college enrollments is imminent, and how this will destroy the lives of millions of Americans.

If you believe college is such a great thing for our nation, with enrollments at a record high of 70.1%, you really need to ask yourself how it is possible our nation is in the dire shape it's in today. We are a nation of unhealthy junk food eating prescription drug addicts who have elected the most incompetent group of representatives to Congress in history. If college education was working, then why is it that our ivy league educated Congressmen have been trying to fix our problems that were created by having too much debt, by increasing our budget deficits and getting us trillions of dollars deeper into debt? Colleges have brainwashed students with dangerous Keynesian economic principles that have put our nation on the brink of hyperinflation. Ironically, hyperinflation is quite possibly the only way for Americans with hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans to ever escape their debts!

The college education industry has used fraud and deception to brainwash prospective college students and their parents. 'College Conspiracy' will expose the fraudulent tactics being used today by colleges and universities to mislead and deceive students and their families. There are so many young Americans today who have an inkling in their mind that college isn't for them, but their parents, teachers, and guidance counselors don't know any better than to intensely pressure them to apply. It is a real shame that the majority of the U.S. population has fallen for the propaganda being spread by the college cartel.

NIA believes that 'College Conspiracy' will help convince American students and their parents to think for themselves. Too many Americans have become sheep to the system and either attend college or force their children to attend college, simply because that is what everybody else is doing. During the Real Estate bubble there were many people who said, "Yes, I know this 2 bedroom shack that is in a state of disrepair isn't worth $500,000, but if I don't buy it now I will be priced out of the market forever." Today, many people are saying, "Yes, I know spending $35,000 per year on tuition and getting deeply into debt to attend college isn't worth it, but if I don't get a degree now, I won't be able to even get a job at McDonald's in future." This is pure insanity and proves that we have a college bubble.

America's College Bubble Next to Burst

2011-05-07T22:58:00.001-05:00

America's College Bubble Next to Burst

The National Inflation Association (NIA) is pleased to officially announce that it will soon be releasing its hour long documentary 'College Conspiracy', which will expose the U.S. college education system as the largest scam in U.S. history. NIA has been producing 'College Conspiracy' for the past six months and plans to release the movie on May 15th. NIA members will be given the first opportunity to watch this must see documentary, which we hope will change the college education industry for the better.

NIA expects 'College Conspiracy' to take college education by storm and expose the facts and truth about tuition inflation to prospective college students. Almost everybody applying to college has heard the oft-repeated statistic that Americans with college degrees earn $1 million more in lifetime income than high school graduates without a degree. This is one of those statistics that gets repeated so many times that just about everybody accepts it as fact, but nobody actually does the research to confirm whether or not it is true. 'College Conspiracy' will prove once and for all if indeed this so-called statistic is true or just a myth.

If 70.1% of high school graduates enroll in a college or university, how does a college degree give you an advantage over the rest of the population? Back in the early 1960s, Americans didn't need to go to college. We were a creditor nation with a strong manufacturing base. With an unemployment rate of only 5%, jobs were available to almost everybody. Less than 50% of American high school graduates enrolled into college. For those who did attend college and graduate with a degree, it was actually something special that made you stand out from the rest of the field, because not everybody had one.

American college tuition inflation has been out of control for the past decade. During the financial crisis of late-2008/early-2009, almost all goods and services in America at least temporarily declined in price. The only service in America that continued to rise in price throughout the financial crisis, besides health care, was college education. Despite real unemployment in America reaching 22%, students were brainwashed into believing that if they were lucky enough to be blessed with the privilege to get half a million dollars into debt to obtain a college degree, they will be on a path to riches and have a guaranteed successful career; whereas those who don't attend college are destined to be failures in life.

The current college education bubble is one of the largest bubbles in U.S. history. The college bubble has been fueled by the U.S. government's willingness to give out cheap and easy student loans to anybody who applied for them, regardless of if they will ever have the ability to pay the loans back. Student loan debt in America is now larger than credit card debt, but unlike credit card debt, student loan debt can't be discharged in bankruptcy.

During the 1970s, college students were able to afford their own college tuition without getting into any debt, simply by working a part-time job year round or by working a full-time job during the summer. Not only that, but most college students were also able to afford their own car and a small apartment. However, since 1970, Americans have experienced a 50% decline in their standard of living due to the Federal Reserve's dangerous and destructive monetary policies. You never heard of parents setting up college savings accounts for their children 40 years ago, but thanks to the Federal Reserve, this has become the norm.

The biggest competitive threat to Wal-Mart today in terms of market cap ($192 billion) is not Target ($35 billion) like you might think, but is actually Amazon.com ($89 billion). Wal-Mart is able to offer the lowest prices out of all brick and mortar retailers, because of the size and scope of the company, which allows them to be profitable even at extremely low gross margins. However, while Wal-Mart's stock price is only up 16% from where it was exactly 5 years ago, Amazon.com's stock price is up 470% during this same time period.

Amazon.com's stock price has risen by a 29 times higher percentage than Wal-Mart due to the fact that they sell their products over the Internet with substantially less overhead costs. NIA believes that the future of college education is over the Internet and that Americans in the future will be able to receive a better quality education from the best professors from all around the world at only a fraction of the cost of a traditional brick and mortar college education.

For the vast majority of college courses, there is absolutely nothing that students can learn in a huge multi-million dollar lecture hall with hundreds of other students that they can't learn at home listening to that same professor on a computer. The only reason online colleges haven't taken off yet in America and still have less than a 1% market share of U.S. higher education is because America has a college-industrial complex that cares only about profits and not educating students. The people who control the system simply don't want the system to change, because they are making way too much money by turning American students into indentured servants.

Back in the 1980s when Americans graduated high school, they would get hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt to buy a house. Today, millions of Americans have mortgage-sized debts, but still live with their parents. All they have is a piece of paper called a college degree, that is rapidly declining in value even faster than tuitions are skyrocketing in price.

'College Conspiracy' was made possible by the personal stories that were submitted to us by thousands of NIA members. NIA's staff spent the past six months traveling across the country, interviewing our country's top expert guests in nine different states. Please tell all of you family members and friends to become members of NIA for free immediately at http://inflation.us so that they along with you can be among the first to see 'College Conspiracy'.

Osama Bin Laden to Cause U.S. Hyperinflation

2011-05-06T09:24:00.001-05:00

Osama Bin Laden to Cause U.S. Hyperinflation

NIA is very pleased that Osama Bin Laden has been neutralized and is no longer a threat to American citizens. During a White House press event yesterday, counterterrorism adviser John Brennan was answering reporters questions and made the comment that al Qaeda "is becoming increasingly bankrupt". Unfortunately, Mr. Brennan got this backwards. The United States is becoming increasingly bankrupt as a result of al Qaeda.

Although America has been safe since 9/11, we need to look at what the cost has been. The U.S. military is currently spending just as much as all other militaries around the world combined. If the U.S. experiences hyperinflation as a result of our military spending, we will no longer be able to protect ourselves from terrorism in the future. The U.S. is currently spending about $1 trillion annually on maintaining a military empire around the world. This is unsustainable, as we are relying on borrowing and printing money to fund this, and Americans are now paying the price with massive inflation in food and energy prices.

The U.S. military captured Bin Laden in Pakistan using a special team comprised of about two dozen navy seals. In other words, the trillions we have spent fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were all for nothing. We could have captured Bin Laden without our operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and have much smaller annual budget deficits and a much lower national debt today, with a much stronger U.S. dollar.

NIA believes that with the capture of Bin Laden, now is the time to bring our troops home from Afghanistan. There is also no reason for the U.S. to be supporting the war in Libya, when Libya presents no threat to the U.S. In recent U.S. led NATO strikes in Libya, we killed Muammar Gadhafi's son and several of his grandchildren who were under the age of 12. There was absolutely no reason for us to take the lives of Gadhafi's innocent young grandchildren. Yes, Libya did kill some of their own citizens who were protesting the government, but it is possible that U.S. led NATO forces have now killed more innocent civilians in Libya than the Libyan government. Syria has been killing a lot more anti-government protesters than Libya. If our military is currently occupying Libya, it only makes sense for the U.S. military to invade Syria as well, but NIA believes there is no reason for us to attack either. We can't police the entire world when we simply don't collect enough tax revenues to fund it.

We hate to say it, but if the U.S. experiences hyperinflation within the next few years, it will be what Bin Laden wanted. If the incomes and savings of Americans no longer have enough purchasing power to put food on the table and heat homes, many more Americans will die from hyperinflation than were killed on 9/11. Yes, we finally got him, but we had to borrow and print trillions of dollars over nearly a decade and there are no signs of our military spending slowing down. The success of killing Bin Laden could potentially be used as an excuse to increase military spending to all new record highs. The purchasing power of the U.S. dollar is crashing to new all time lows on a daily basis. This is not an "orderly" collapse. The dollar is falling off of a cliff and a worldwide rush out of the dollar could be imminent. A weak U.S. dollar as a result of our massive budget deficits, largely from military spending, is the worst possible thing for the homeland security of our country.

It is important to spread the word about NIA to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, if you want America to survive hyperinflation. Please tell everybody you know to become members of NIA for free immediately at: http://inflation.us

PANETTA ORDERED THE RAID???? This is where it gets fishy - could this be true?

2011-05-05T13:02:00.001-05:00

-----Original Message-----
From: xxxxxx@aol.com
Sent: Thu, May 5, 2011 12:18 pm
Subject: Fwd: PANETTA ORDERED THE RAID???? Now THIS is believable!

This, forwarded by one of my Navy buddies is devastating if true!

"What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him –and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound."

Q: You stated that President Obama was “overruled” by military/intelligence officials regarding the decision to send in military specialists into the Osama Bin Laden compound. Was that accurate?

A: I was told – in these exact terms, “we overruled him.” (Obama) I have since followed up and received further details on exactly what that meant, as well as the specifics of how Leon Panetta worked around the president’s “persistent hesitation to act.” There appears NOT to have been an outright overruling of any specific position by President Obama, simply because there was no specific position from the president to do so. President Obama was, in this case, as in all others, working as an absentee president.

(Notice that Panetta is NOT in the room)

This update comes some 24 hours after our longtime Washington D.C. Insider first outlined shocking details of an Obama administration having been “overruled” by senior military and intelligence officials leading up to the successful attack against terrorist Osama Bin Laden. What follows is further clarification of Insider’s insights surrounding that event.

I was correct in stating there had been a push to invade the compound for several weeks if not months, primarily led by Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates, David Petraeus, and Jim Clapper. The primary opposition to this plan originated from Valerie Jarrett, and it was her opposition that was enough to create uncertainty within President Obama. Obama would meet with various components of the pro-invasion faction, almost always with Jarrett present, and then often fail to indicate his position. This situation continued for some time, though the division between Jarrett/Obama and the rest intensified more recently, most notably from Hillary Clinton. She was livid over the president’s failure to act, and her office began a campaign of anonymous leaks to the media indicating such. As for Jarrett, her concern rested on two primary fronts. One, that the military action could fail and harm the president’s already weakened standing with both the American public and the world. Second, that the attack would be viewed as an act of aggression against Muslims, and further destabilize conditions in the Middle East.

Q: What changed the president’s position and enabled the attack against Osama Bin Laden to proceed?

A: Nothing changed with the president’s opinion – he continued to avoid having one. Every time military and intelligence officials appeared to make progress in forming a position, Jarrett would intervene and the stalling would begin again. Hillary started the ball really rolling as far as pressuring Obama began, but it was Panetta and Petraeus who ultimately pushed Obama to finally act – sort of. Panetta was receiving significant reports from both his direct CIA sources, as well as Petraeus-originating Intel. Petraeus was threatening to act on his own via a bombing attack. Panetta reported back to the president that a bombing of the compound would result in successful killing of Osama Bin Laden, and little risk to American lives. Initially, as he had done before, the president indicated a willingness to act. But once again, Jarrett intervened, convincing the president that innocent Pakistani lives could be lost in such a bombing attack, and Obama would be left attempting to explain Panetta’s failed policy. Again Obama hesitated – this time openly delaying further meetings to discuss the issue with Panetta. A brief meeting was held at this time with other officials, including Secretary Gates and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but Gates, like Panetta, was unable to push the president to act. It was at this time that Gates indicated to certain Pentagon officials that he may resign earlier than originally indicated – he was that frustrated. Both Panetta and Clinton convinced him to stay on and see the operation through.

What happened from there is what was described by me as a “masterful manipulation” by Leon Panetta. Panetta indicated to Obama that leaks regarding knowledge of Osama Bin Laden’s location were certain to get out sooner rather than later, and action must be taken by the administration or the public backlash to the president’s inaction would be “…significant to the point of political debilitation.” It was at that time that Obama stated an on-ground campaign would be far more acceptable to him than a bombing raid. This was intended as a stalling tactic, and it had originated from Jarrett. Such a campaign would take both time, and present a far greater risk of failure. The president had been instructed by Jarrett to inform Mr., Panetta that he would have sole discretion to act against the Osama Bin Laden compound. Jarrett believed this would further delay Panetta from acting, as the responsibility for failure would then fall almost entirely on him. What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him –and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound. Basically, the whole damn operation was already ready to go – including the specific team support Intel necessary to engage the enemy within hours of being given notice. Panetta then made plans to proceed with an on-ground assault. This information reached either Hillary Clinton or Robert Gates first (likely via military contacts directly associated with the impending mission) who then informed the other. Those two then met with Panetta, who informed each of them he had been given the authority by the president to proceed with a mission if the opportunity presented itself. Both Gates and Clinton warned Panetta of the implications of that authority – namely he was possibly being made into a scapegoat. Panetta admitted that possibility, but felt the opportunity to get Bin Laden outweighed that risk. During that meeting, Hillary Clinton was first to pledge her full support for Panetta, indicating she would defend him if necessary. Similar support was then followed by Gates. The following day, and with Panetta’s permission, Clinton met in private with Bill Daley and urged him to get the president’s full and open approval of the Panetta plan. Daley agreed such approval would be of great benefit to the action, and instructed Clinton to delay proceeding until he had secured that approval. Daley contacted Clinton within hours of their meeting indicating
Jarrett refused to allow the president to give that approval. Daley then informed Clinton that he too would fully support Panetta in his actions, even if it meant disclosing the president’s indecision to the American public should that action fail to produce a successful conclusion. Clinton took that message back to Panetta and the CIA director initiated the 48 hour engagement order. At this point, the President of the United States was not informed of the engagement order – it did not originate from him, and for several hours after the order had been given and the special ops forces were preparing for action into Pakistan from their position in Afghanistan, Daley successfully kept Obama and Jarrett insulated from that order.

This insulation ended at some point with an abort order that I believe originated from Valerie Jarrett’s office, and was then followed up by President Obama. This abort order was later explained as a delay due to weather conditions, but the actual conditions at that time would have been acceptable for the mission. A storm system had been in the area earlier, but was no longer an issue. Check the data yourself to confirm. Jarrett, having been caught off guard, was now scrambling to determine who had initiated the plan. She was furious, repeating the acronym “CoC” and saying it was not being followed. This is where Bill Daley intervened. The particulars of that intervention are not clear to me beyond knowing he did meet with Jarrett in his office and following that meeting, Valerie Jarrett was not seen in the West Wing for some time, and apparently no longer offered up any resistance to the Osama Bin Laden mission. What did follow from there was one or more brief meetings between Bill Daley, Hillary Clinton, a representative from Robert Gates’ office, a representative from Leon Panetta’s office, and a representative from Jim Clapper’s office. I have to assume that these meetings were in essence, detailing the move to proceed with the operation against the Osama Bin Laden compound. I have been told by more than one source that Leon Panetta was directing the operation with both his own CIA operatives, as well as direct contacts with military – both entities were reporting to Panetta only at this point, and not the President of the United States. There was not going to be another delay as had happened 24 hour earlier. The operation at this point, was in effect, unknown to President Barack Obama or Valerie Jarrett and it remained that way until AFTER it was already underway. President Obama was literally pulled from a golf outing and escorted back to the White House to be informed of the mission. Upon his arrival there was a briefing held which included Bill Daley, John Brennan, and a high ranking member of the military. When Obama emerged from the briefing, he was described as looking “very confused and uncertain.” The president was then placed in the “situation room” where several of the players in this event had already been watching the operation unfold. Another interesting tidbit regarding this is that the Vice President was already “up to speed” on the operation. A source indicated they believe Hillary Clinton had personally made certain the Vice President was made aware of that day’s events before the president was. The now famous photo released shows the particulars of that of that room and its occupants. What that photo does not communicate directly is that the military personnel present in that room during the operation unfolding, deferred to either Hillary Clinton or Robert Gates. The president’s role was minimal, including their acknowledging of his presence in the room.

At the conclusion of the mission, after it had been repeatedly confirmed a success, President Obama was once again briefed behind closed doors. The only ones who went in that room besides the president were Bill Daley. John Brennan, and a third individual whose identity remains unknown to me. When leaving this briefing, the president came out of it “…much more confident. Much more certain of himself.” He was also carrying papers in his hand that quite possibly was the address to the nation given later that evening on the Bin Laden mission. The president did not have those papers with him prior to that briefing. The president then returned to the war room, where by this time, Leon Panetta had personally arrived and was receiving congratulations from all who were present.

In my initial communication to you of these events I described what unfolded as a temporary Coup initiated by high ranking intelligence and military officials. I stand by that term. These figures worked around the uncertainty of President Obama and the repeated resistance of Valerie Jarrett. If they had not been willing to do so, I am certain Osama Bin Laden would still be alive today. There will be no punishment to those who acted outside the authority of the president’s office. The president cannot afford to admit such a fact. What will be most interesting from here is to now see what becomes of Valerie Jarrett. One source indicated she is threatening resignation. I find that unlikely given my strong belief she needs the protection afforded her by the Oval Office and its immense powers to delay and eventually terminate investigations back in Chicago, but we shall see.

Food and Energy Inflation is Not Transitory

2011-04-28T16:00:00.001-05:00

Food and Energy Inflation is Not Transitory
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Wednesday held his first press conference in history. The press conference took place shortly after the Fed announced its decision to leave the Fed Funds Rate at a record low of 0% to 0.25%, where it has been for an unprecedented 28 months. The U.S. economy is flooded with U.S. dollars and is close to overdosing on excess liquidity. The fact that our financial markets are not falling on the possibility of the Fed not unleashing QE3 immediately at the end of QE2, shows that we could be on the verge of hyperinflation with or without QE3.

The Federal Reserve currently has a mandate of both maintaining price stability and facilitating job creation. However, central banks don't have the ability to create real employment. If any jobs happen to be created as a result of a central bank's policies, they are only temporary jobs created due to the errors and distortions of phony asset bubbles. All phony asset bubbles that are fueled by monetary inflation eventually burst, sending unemployment through the roof.

Almost every major central bank besides the Federal Reserve, understands the truth about job creation, and has a mandate that focuses solely on keeping price inflation low. The Bank of Japan, Swiss National Bank, Bank of Canada, and Bank of New Zealand, all have mandates that are entirely about low inflation and don't even mention the creation of jobs or the rate of employment. Bernanke said on Wednesday that, "while it is very, very important for us to try to help the economy create jobs and to support the recovery, I think every central banker understands that keeping inflation low and stable is absolutely essential to a successful economy."

Bernanke has decided to go down a route that no central banker has ever gone before. Bernanke has literally invented countless ways to create inflation that nobody else has ever thought of. If keeping inflation low was ever Bernanke's slightest concern, the Fed Funds Rate would currently be north of 5% and the U.S. economy would be in a steep recession. Bernanke has never once thought about keeping inflation low. He has literally implemented every measure he could possibly think of to create as much inflation as possible, while outright lying to the American public and saying that he isn't printing money and that inflation is under control.

Bernanke would like the public to believe that his policies of expanding the money supply through cheap and easy money will cause the U.S. economy to recover and unemployment to decline back to pre-crisis levels, and that right before price inflation spirals out of control, he can raise interest rates and prevent massive price inflation without disrupting the recovery. Unfortunately, this is impossible because the recovery isn't real and massive price inflation is already here. Bernanke's policies may have created 1 million artificial jobs since December of 2009, after 8.75 million jobs were lost in the previous two years, but he did this at the expense of 310 million Americans already seeing double-digit percentage increases in food and energy prices.

Since after the Real Estate bubble burst in late-2008, the primary economic concern of Americans has been finding a stable job in order to make mortgage payments and put food on the table. Under the pressure of Congress, the Fed printed enough money to prevent a much needed recession that would be healthy for the long-term U.S. economy. In its attempt to reinflate the Real Estate bubble, the Fed has been destroying the free market and creating new economic distortions, which caused an artificial bounce in the rate of employment. Unfortunately, when you add together the money the Fed has either printed or committed for bailouts and stimulus programs, over $4 million has been spent for each job created. The Fed would have been better off just crediting the bank accounts of unemployed Americans with the average U.S. income.

When asked about rising gas prices, NIA is very happy that Chairman Bernanke acknowledged that gas prices "have risen quite significantly" and are "creating a great deal of financial hardship for a lot of people". Bernanke admitted that gas is a "necessity" as "people need to drive to work" for the artificial jobs Bernanke created at a cost of $4 million per job. However, Bernanke seemed to be confused when he said "higher gas prices add to inflation". The truth is, Bernanke's zero percent interest rates and quantitative easing are the inflation, and inflation leads to higher gas prices.

Bernanke is directly responsible for gas prices rising back to $3.87 per gallon, yet refuses to admit it. Bernanke placed the blame on the growing global and emerging market economies, and their strong demand for oil. He said that America's demand for oil is going down, which NIA believes is actually due to the U.S. dollar losing its purchasing power and Americans seeing their standard of living decline. Bernanke said there is nothing that he can do about rising oil and gas prices "without derailing growth entirely". The truth is, Bernanke already derailed growth entirely when he derailed the free market. It is impossible to see real economic growth when a government and central bank is interfering in every aspect of the economy and impeding the free market in every possible way. All nominal GDP growth in the U.S., along with growth in retail sales, is solely due to inflation. Even when the government adjusts GDP and retail sales growth to the rate of inflation, it is based off of the consumer price index, which NIA believes is currently understating price inflation by approximately 4%.

Although Bernanke denies he has the ability to reduce gas prices, he claims he can prevent "gas prices from passing into other prices and wages throughout the economy and creating a broader inflation which will be much more difficult to extinguish." Bernanke obviously doesn't want Americans to see higher wages because he believes it could lead to broader inflation, but NIA believes rising wages would be a good thing. Inflation hurts Americans most when the rate of inflation is far outpacing wage increases. The fact is, the U.S. is already experiencing broad inflation even without wage increases.

Bernanke's brand new favorite word as of late seems to be "transitory", which he used about a dozen times during his press conference. Despite what Bernanke says, NIA strongly believes that rising food and gas prices are not transitory. Bernanke likes the word "transitory" because he can use it to try and pretend that rising food and gas prices are only just a temporary phenomenon and that their current high levels aren't here to stay. Many Americans can remember the day 40 years ago when a can of Coca-Cola cost a dime and a Hershey chocolate bar cost a nickel, with a gallon of gas back then costing only thirty-five cents. Have rising food and gas prices over the past four decades been transitory?

NIA first predicted two years ago in its documentary 'Hyperinflation Nation', that rising food and gas prices would soon become the primary concern of all American citizens as a result of the Fed's dangerous and destructive monetary policies. Bernanke back then claimed that inflation would not be a problem and said that the U.S. risked deflation. If Bernanke has been so wrong about the inflation that Americans are faced with today, NIA doesn't see how anybody can possibly believe that Bernanke will be right and that current high food and gas prices aren't here to stay. In our opinion, the food and gas price inflation that Americans have experienced over the past 40 years, is likely to occur all over again during the next 4 years. NIA believes that 4 years from now, Americans will look back at the good old days of having cheap $4 a gallon gas.

The last thing the U.S. government wants is for the American public to realize that Bernanke is responsible for rising food and gas prices. If the public demanded to end the Federal Reserve, the government will no longer be able to spend recklessly knowing that the Fed will be there to monetize their deficit spending. In an attempt to make up excuses for rising gas prices and deflect attention away from the Fed, Congress has been pressuring the U.S. Attorney General to investigate the matter. Attorney General Eric Holder just announced the formation of the Oil & Gas Price Fraud Working Group. The stated purpose of this working group is to monitor the oil and gas markets for potential violations of criminal or civil laws to safeguard against unlawful consumer harm.

NIA considers this to be complete insanity. Any government interference in the oil markets will only drive oil prices up even higher. Oil prices are rising solely do to supply and demand. Demand is going through the roof because the Federal Reserve is creating a lot of inflation, and inflation always gravitates to the goods that Americans need the most to live and survive. Oil supplies are falling because President Obama has ordered U.S. troops to occupy Libya. In the past we at least made up excuses to invade countries like Iraq over oil by claiming they had weapons of mass destruction. Today, the U.S. government doesn't even bother. Obama campaigned as an anti-war President, saying he would bring our troops home from the middle-east. Instead, he has increased our middle-east troop levels, and the sheep who voted for him are showing absolutely no signs of outrage.

It is important to spread the word about NIA to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, if you want America to survive hyperinflation. Please tell everybody you know to become members of NIA for free immediately at: http://inflation.us

Silver Reaches New All Time High of $49.79!

2011-04-25T16:00:00.001-05:00

Silver reached a new all time high this morning of $49.79 per ounce up 186% since NIA declared silver the best investment for the next decade on December 11th, 2009, at $17.40 per ounce!

NIA first predicted a huge silver short squeeze in its April 3rd, 2010, article entitled, "Silver Short Squeeze Could Be Imminent". NIA said in this article, "Silver closed this week at a 10-week high of $17.89 per ounce and a major short squeeze to the upside could be imminent. With the spotlight now on JP Morgan, NIA believes they will be less likely to naked short silver at these levels and manipulate the price down like in February."

On May 13th, 2010, NIA released its critically acclaimed hour long documentary 'Meltup'. Beginning at 26:30 into the movie, NIA had a six minute segment dedicated exclusively to silver in which NIA's President Gerard Adams exposed JP Morgan's manipulation of silver. Silver was $18 per ounce at the time and NIA predicted a massive silver short squeeze saying that silver could rise to $72 per ounce as soon as JP Morgan's manipulation is over. We are more than half way there already!

NIA perfectly called the short-term bottom on silver in its July 28th, 2010, article entitled, "Gold and Silver Capitulation is Near". Silver was $17.63 at the time and almost everybody on Wall Street and in the media had become bearish on silver. NIA said in its article, "The sentiment on gold and silver has abruptly changed to the negative like nothing we have ever seen before and to us this means the big move to the upside is right around the corner." After NIA published this article, silver prices rose on 70 out of the following 101 trading days.

On September 9th, 2010, NIA wrote an article entitled, "Is JP Morgan's Silver Manipulation Over?". The gold/silver ratio was 63 at the time and NIA said, "the biggest move downward in the gold/silver ratio could come in the months ahead." NIA was right, the gold/silver ratio reached a low today of 30.5!

Then came NIA's October 28th, 2010, article entitled, "Silver Short Position Could Cost JP Morgan Billions in Losses". In this article, NIA wrote, "NIA estimates that $50 per ounce silver would mean approximately $4 billion in losses to JP Morgan." Guess who is now losing approximately $4 billion while NIA members make a fortune?

NIA gave the world the first heads up that JP Morgan was beginning to cover their silver short position when we published our December 14th, 2010, article entitled, "JP Morgan Covering Silver Short Position".

The massive short squeeze in silver that NIA has long been predicting is clearly taking place right now! NIA estimates that JP Morgan has so far only covered about 20% of its silver short position. Silver still has a lot more upside potential left, especially for the long-term!

NIA believes the best way to get wealthy off of silver and gold this decade will be with silver and gold mining stocks. Despite silver and gold being at new all time highs, most silver and gold mining stocks are still below their 52-week highs. NIA believes the largest ever short-term rally in both silver and gold stocks could be just around the corner!

Tomorrow morning, NIA will be releasing one of our biggest silver stock suggestions of all time in an exclusive private stock suggestion report to a select few NIA members. NIA will also be suggesting two gold stocks that we believe are the most undervalued gold stocks in the world today. If you would like to receive this exclusive private report, please visit: http://inflation.us/specialgoldsilverreport.html and enter your email address.

NIA members interested in our exclusive private silver and gold stock suggestion report will be contacted this evening with all of the details on how to receive it!

It is important to spread the word about NIA to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, if you want America to survive hyperinflation. Please tell everybody you know to become members of NIA for free immediately at: http://inflation.us
