2021-02-28 EXPERT INTERVIEW – KARL DENNINGER

If we have a hyperinflationary event, there’s going to be a civil war. If you take the current $2.3 trillion operating deficit, add $1.9 trillion to that, we’re at $4.2 trillion. Should another $3 trillion stimulus package be added to that, we could be looking at a $7 trillion deficit this year on a GDP of about not even three times that based on my numbers.  This week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates Radio you host Dennis Tubbergen is joined by guest, Karl Denninger. Join them for a great conversation about U.S. economy policy and its impending effects on Medicare in the next year or two.

2021-02-14 EXPERT INTERVIEW – ALASDAIR MCLEOD

We have two global problems. The potential bankruptcy, in fact, almost certain bankruptcy of the Eurozone and the ending of the Euro.

And, I’m talking about the very near future, because I don’t think it’s going to take very long for this to go wrong.  A dire forecast from this week’s guest, Mr. Alasdair MacLeod.

What we did in 2020 violates every canon of sound economics.  Money creation, over the course of 2020, looks just like a hockey stick. It’s terrifying.

2021-01-17 EXPERT INTERVIEW – SIMON POPPLE

The U.S. Federal Reserve, in December, just quietly changed the way they were going to report M1 and M2 money supply, stating that reporting would now take place monthly versus weekly, and they were changing the methodology.

Could we see Gold hit $8000 plus in 2021?  Our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates Radio, Mr. Jay Michael Oliver, says that given the continued degradation of money units by central banks abroad and the aggressive money printing policies here in the U.S., which the Fed vowed to continue, we’re entering a bull market in commodities not seen since the 1970’s.  Join your host Dennis Tubbergen for a conversation with first-time guest Mr. Oliver for his forecast on the coming new year.

2019-11-03 EXPERT INTERVIEW – IAN GORDON

Thomas Jefferson is quoted as protesting, “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered…. I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies…. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”
