The Hidden Costs of ‘Free Trade’ Agreements

There’s Nothing Free about ‘Free Trade’

There’s Nothing Free about ‘Free Trade’J.B. Shurk – President Trump, Treasury secretary Bessent, and Commerce secretary Lutnick are effectively teaching a course right now on the fundamentals of international trade. How many Americans previously understood that nations around the world use tariffs and other economic tools to keep American-made products from reaching their markets?

Hasn’t the United States been spreading the gospel of “free trade” for centuries? Doesn’t commitment to “free markets” separate the civilizational West from more authoritarian countries with “closed” economies? Shouldn’t a “rules-based international order” ensure that the rules are the same for all participating countries? Continue reading

The End Game of Fiat Currency: What Lies Ahead [Video]

The End Game of Fiat Currency: What Lies AheadGreg Hunter – Back in February, when everyone was predicting a Fed rate cut, precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter said rates would be going up and not down.  Since that call, the 10-Year Treasury is up more than 30 basis points.  It closed today at 4.67%. Now Holter is still calling for higher interest rates that will coincide with higher gold and silver prices.  Why?  It’s called inflation, and it’s not temporary.

Gold And Silver Fight Tyranny [Video]

Gold And Silver Fight TyrannyGreg Hunter – Catherine Austin Fitts (CAF), Publisher of The Solari Report, financial expert and former Assistant Secretary of Housing (Bush 41 Admin.), says, “The federal government is being run as a criminal enterprise. . . .not just a little criminal, but a lot criminal.”

CAF thinks now is the time for state governments to act to protect their citizens from the dangers of a falling dollar and increasing central control over “We the People.”  CAF explains, “One of the things we are talking with the states about is Sovereign State Banks, so they can protect their transactions in dollars.  We are also talking about State Bullion Depositories.  This is so states can protect their rainy-day reserve and, ultimately, their transaction ability with gold and silver.
