In an upside-down universe, nothing is as it seems. Black is white, up is down, cats marry dogs and television sitcoms are actually funny. Well, I don't know much about sitcoms, but economically speaking it can no longer be doubted that we live in an upside-down universe. Case in point. In a regular universe a rising currency is a sign that the market values the strength of your economy and the stability of your government. In our upside-down universe, however, a rising currency is merely a sign that you have the nicest looking economy in a rough neighbourhood and that your competitors' governments are likely to fall apart slightly quicker than your own. In other words, a rising currency in this universe is not necessarily a sign of strength. This is the situation we see developing in the USD as the greenback rises to 3-year highs not on the strength of its economic fundamentals (soaring unemployment, historic levels of Americans on food stamps, lacklustre retail performance) but solely on the fact that its main currency competitors are doing so poorly. That would of course be the Japanese Yen, which is falling in direct proportion to the skyrocketing Nikkei (and skyrocketing JGB volatility... but more on that later) and the plummeting Euro, which has just hit a six-week low as the ECB floats the possibility of introducing ne...

The thesis of this book by John Benson is that, based upon Murray, G.M. Leasing, and the government’s admission to the Supreme Court in 1977, and put into plain English, all IRS processes and procedures are, in substance and effect, simply the ancient English revenue processes and procedures employed by the king’s revenue officials in the Exchequer (Treasury) in 1791 dressed up in modern garb. To be sure, the author claims, the words used are different and not easily understood. However, as the Murray Court stated clearly, “The name bestowed upon it cannot affect its constitutional validity.” 59 U.S. 272, 276 (1856). Link.

American Free Press called this new book “an amazing encyclopedia” and “the final word on some of the biggest conspiracies in American history,” and I can tell you that I recommend it very highly. Florida talk-show host Bobby Lee said, “The Introduction alone is worth the price of the book.”

How Wall Street Fleeces AmericaThe 1913 Federal Reserve Act let powerful bankers usurp money creation authority in violation of the Constitution's Article I, Section 8, giving only Congress the power to "coin Money (and) regulate the Value thereof...." Thereafter, powerful bankers used their control over money, credit and debt for private self-enrichment, bankrolling and colluding with Congress and administrations to implement laws favoring them.

As a reader of The International Forecaster you already know the U.S. Dollar is in trouble. In fact irresponsible politicians, dependence on foreign creditors, metastasizing debt, and the Federal Reserve’s monetary malpractice guarantee a dollar calamity! I want you to read THE DOLLAR MELTDOWN, a brand new book by my friend Charles Goyette.
