December 12, 2019 | Rise in US Dollar Will Force Defaults in Third World
The countless analysts who keep preaching that the dollar will collapse have been singing the same song since 1971.

QUESTION: Marty; Why is Legarde pitching Euro Green Bonds when they lose money?

November 19, 2019 | The Repo Crisis
QUESTION: Marty; The goldbugs are back and claiming the Repo Crisis is MMT and this is again just printing money endlessly to cover up a major banking crisis in the USA so buy gold of course.

November 11, 2019 | Warren’s Wealth Tax
Warren’s Wealth Tax is so destructive to the economy and demonstrates that she listens to Thomas Piketty, the French communist pretend economist.

The attorney for the claimed whistleblower against President Donald Trump that the Democrats are desperate to try to hide his identity, Mark Zaid, defended his tweets calling for a “coup” against President Trump.

QUESTION: Marty, you said at the conference the efforts to overthrow the dollar as the reserve currency have failed and it will take the Monetary Crisis Cycle to accomplish that.
