Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St and managing editor of the News Doctors http://thenewsdoctors.com/ and independent financial journalist, Eric Dubin are back for Episode #12 of Welcome to Dystopia.

With the horror in Paris, we need to stress that terrorism doesn't
emerge out of a vacuum. Paul Craig Roberts' article on Paris attacks: http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/...

It has a political context, and it's impossible to understand the events in Paris without understanding that ISIS arose from conditions created by U.S. and allied nation policy - including direct financial and training support, particularly from Saudi Arabia
and Turkey playing key roles. The roots of U.S. policy of fomenting
Islamic radical terrorist groups as a tool extend all the way back to
the early 20th Century (led by the U.K.), but the biggest milestone
along the development of this "tool" is best represented by former
National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski's plan to build-up
Al-Qaeda as a proxy force, setting an Afghanistan "bear trap" to weaken the Soviet Union. This isn't conspiracy theory. It's documented history, and Brzezinski openly boasts about his role.

“‘What is most important to the history of the world?’ Brzezinski said in 1998, ‘some stirred-up Muslims or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?’ — it had at least one unexpected result: it created a global jihad movement, led by veteran fighters who were convinced that they had defeated one superpower and could defeat another.” See: http://thenewsdoctors.com/?p=542014

The policy of using radical jihadists as a political tool continues to
this very day. It was only a couple of weeks ago that we had top U.S. military brass and politicians taking to the media and testifying before Congress, arguing for the need for additional so-called "moderate
terrorists" to overthrow Syrian President Assad. These so-called
moderate terrorists are principally the Al-Qaeda spawn al-Nusra Front and related groups. The U.S. spent over a decade presenting Al-Qaeda as the greatest terrorist threat in history, and responsible for 9/11.

Eric discussed how there is a split within the U.S. policy community
when it comes to Chinese renminbi inclusion into the SDR basket. http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idU... You can see an expression of this split given the missives that come out of the "think tank" community. A prime example was published just yesterday by the Peterson Institute for International Economics: http://blogs.piie.com/realtime/?p=5244 Tune into the show for more, including Eric's explanation for how and why much of the media and alternative media are getting this story wrong.

Wall St for Main St welcome back Dr. Mark Thornton, who is a Austrian economist and Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute. In this podcast, we discussed the differences between Keynesian economic and Austrian economic on deflation, interest rates and  the boom/bust cycle. Find out why the government and central banks fear and loathe deflation!

This week's episode had special guest Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute For Peace and Prosperity http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/, Daniel McAdams.

Daniel McAdams is the executive director of the Ron Paul Institute. He formally served as the foreign affairs, civil liberties, and defense policy advisor to U.S. Congressman Ron Paul, MD (R-Texas) from 2001 until Dr. Paul’s 2012 retirement.

There's a popular misconception that libertarians advocating for a non-interventionist foreign policy is tantamount to isolationism. Nothing could be further from the truth, and the Ron Paul Institute is making progress advancing this understanding.

In a little over a month, power relationships in the Middle Eastern war theater have shifted considerably. Daniel provides us with perspective on the recent United Nations meeting between Russian and U.S. officials, and what conclusions we might draw now that the U.S. policy establishment is being forced to play out a hand with unanticipated cards and, with Moscow essentially exposing the absurdity of the American strategy of building up "moderate" terrorist forces with the goal of overthrowing the Assad government.

Now that Russian air raids have sent terrorist factions fleeing the Syrian theater, the US is sending in more special forces "boots on the ground." We say "more" because special forces have been operating in the Syrian theater all along. Daniel makes reference to Finian Cunningham's latest article at the Ron Paul Institute website: "US Special Forces deployed as ‘human shields’ to salvage terror assets in Syria." Access this link to read it: http://tinyurl.com/ojp3ukw

We discussed Hillary Clinton and Doug Henwood's latest book, "My Turn: Hillary Clinton Targets The Presidency." As a traditional progressive, Henwood is receiving considerable attention for daring to call out Hillary for her decidedly non-progressive politics. Wrapping oneself with the banner of championing women's and LGBT rights is all well and fine, but many progressive Hillary supporters have no idea Hillary's politics doesn't match that of a traditional progressive, especially when it comes to international relations and the support of crony capitalist interests at home and abroad. See: http://tinyurl.com/q4ckk9u ...and you have to see the cover of this book!

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on first time guest, Professor of Economics at Pace University, Academic VP of the Mises Institute https://mises.org/ and author of Money: Sound & Unsound, Dr. Joseph Salerno https://mises.org/profile/joseph-t-sa...

During this 40+ minute discussion, Jason asks Dr. Salerno about the difference between the Austrian School of Economics, Keynesian Economics, Monetarism and Marxism.

Dr Salerno summarizes these economic schools.

Next, Jason asks Dr. Salerno, which Austrian School of Economics books beginners who are curious should start with?

Jason then asks Joseph about Keynes and Keynesian Economics and why Keynesian Economics is largely to blame for the global economic problems we are experiencing.

Jason then asks Dr. Salerno about the Austrian True Money Supply or TMS, which is something Dr. Salerno invented with Murray Rothbard to to track monetary supply growth or inflation. Despite the mainstream financial media, Wall St, the Federal Reserve and academic Keynesians should about only deflation occurring right now, the TMS shows the money supply still growing at over 8%!

There's now monthly articles on the Mises website tracking TMS growth or monetary inflation in the US https://mises.org/blog/true-money-sup...

Jason and Dr. Salerno also discuss if real deflation for a prolonged period of time will be allowed without further intervention, why Austrians are able to see asset bubbles and credit bubbles coming years in advance with an inevitable bust after a boom, and why capitalism and free markets will still be blamed for problems in the economy despite the fact there's no free markets.

Many more exciting things are discussed in this excellent interview! If you love Austrian School of Economics or are curious about learning more about this school of thought and perspective, this is a great interview for that.

Greg talks about his experiences working as an investigative reporter in the mainstream media and why the mainstream media is no longer objective. Greg says the media puts out lots of disinformation, half truth and intentionally lies by omission all the time.

Jason asks Greg about what his listeners are telling him about the economy. Greg says many of his listeners are struggling mightily financially trying to keep their heads above water with rising bills.

Greg emphasizes how we don't have a real functioning media anymore because they are no longer objective or tell the whole truth and hold people in high positions accountable.

In this 30+ minute interview, Jason asks James about why China is dumping US Treasuries?

James thinks China felt it's currency dropped too much in value and it had to sell a large amount of its US Treasury holdings to stabilize the currency.

Next, Jason asks James if he thinks Japan, South Korea and other Asian countries will retaliate against China in another round of currency wars for China's devaluation?

James thinks the currency wars between Asian countries never stopped and will continue unabated.

Jason then asks James why he thinks the Yen hasn't collapsed yet? They discuss Japan's debt problem and how Japan may be in the process of doing a debt for equity swap throughout their entire society.

Jason then asks James about whether Japan is helping prop up the US stock market and US Treasury markets because there's a 1:1 correlation with the Yen falling and the US stock market rising.

James thinks Japan's government does what they are told to help the US government and US markets out at Japan's own expense. Jason and James discuss the Chinese economy, their gold holdings and whether the Chinese government will collapse.

James thinks the worse the Chinese government gets, the more physical gold holdings they will announce to keep the people calm and that if the Chinese economy were to totally collapse, it would accelerate the Chinese government being overthrown.

To wrap up the interview, Jason asks James about Japan's investment in robotics and why the Japanese seem so interested in being the leaders in robotics.

Wall St for Main St welcome back Peter Grandich, who is a former money manager, author and Founder of Peter Grandich & Company.

Jason asks Julia about Canada and how Canada is copying the US and becoming a police state. Julia talks about how Canada is basically a lap dog of the US. 

Jason asks Julia why countries like the US are adapting more big government and socialist/fascist/totalitarian control over their population's lives when former Soviet Union countries have abandoned communism and socialism. 

Next, Jason asks Julia how she found Bitcoin and became a proponent of using and owning Bitcoin. Julia found Bitcoin using the Silk Road and then she learned Austrian School Economics from Mises Canada and on her own. 

Jason and Julia discuss what Wall St embracing Bitcoin could mean. 

Finally, to wrap up the show Jason asks Julia why there aren't more women Libertarians? Julia has some very interesting ideas on the topic. 

Julia thinks governments like the US will keep growing bigger and bigger until they can't adapt anymore then they will eventually collapse and die. 

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, best selling author, Austrian School Economist, investor and President & CEO of Euro Pacific Capital http://www.europac.com/, Peter Schiffhttp://www.schiffradio.com/.

Peter says that in a fiat currency system with central banking, governments will not allow deflation or free market forces to correct many global imbalances for a long period of time without further intervention. 

Jason asks Peter about Harry Dent's views of deflation and Peter says that there will be deflation priced in gold as gold will gain purchasing power against other assets like stocks, real estate, other commodities, etc in the years to come. 

Next, Jason asks Peter about his newest book, The Real Crash, and why politicians won't allow wages and prices to fall naturally? 

Peter says politicians have made lots of campaign promises to get elected and if the economy crashes while they are in office they probably won't be re-elected. 

Jason then asks Peter about his article from last week http://www.europac.com/commentaries/f...

Peter says China is unfairly being blamed for the stock markets going down in the US. 

After discussing Wall St and the mainstream financial media playing the blame game, Jason asks Peter about gold and what will be the catalysts to drive higher gold and silver prices?

Peter thinks there will be a loss of confidence in the Federal Reserve and other central banks and people will abandon government currencies and other assets in favor of gold. 

Peter talks about his gold and silver backed debit card at Euro Pacific bank and how he has invested in new software and technology to improve the product and how it's different than Bitgold/Gold Money.

Dan thinks OPEC may cut production in the near future. 

Next, Jason asks Dan why M&A hasn't occurred in oil exploration and production companies? 

Dan expects that to occur in the near future after oil prices start to rise. 

Jason and Dan discuss the supply/demand fundamentals of oil. Dan says 25 times the amount of real oil is traded daily in paper oil. (Does this remind you of gold and silver futures markets?)
