Among his other amazing forecasts, Mike Stathis is the ONLY financial professional in the world to have timed the gold and silver bull and bear market, starting with recommendations to clients to buy select gold stocks in late 2001, as well as his recommendation to buy gold and silver ETFs in his landmark 2006 book, America's Financial Apocalypse, to his warnings about a gold bubble that would rise to 1500 to 2000 and then burst and continue a downward trend for many years.

Doomsday douche bags and gold charlatans come in all varieties, from smooth talking sharks who claim to be investment experts (despite their lacking credentials), to fruit loops who continue to predict hyperinflation and destruction of the dollar, year after year, even as the dollar soars to twelve year highs in one of the most breathtaking dollar rallies in decades.
And then there are some who are bold enough to claim they have been in the dollar throughout its historic rise, despite claiming it was confetti a short time earlier.
I have exposed virtually every single one of these con men, idiots and broken clocks.
I have published hundreds of articles, audios and videos exposing these frauds, pointing to their broken clock miserable track records, showing you how they fool their sheep. I have also shown how the media is involved in promoting these con men.
No one else in the world has even attempted to call out the endless lies by this gang of filthy scum bags.
Think long and hard about that.
At this stage I believe it is important to ask yourself why I have been the ONLY person in the world to expose the enormous network of doomsday con men and their scams.
Is everyone else really that naive not to see what is going on?
Perhaps others who realize these scams are ripping off millions of people simply do not care because it does not affect them, so they remain silent.
The latter situation is more likely. It has been this mentality of "it doesn't affect me so who cares" or "I'm only going to devote my time and efforts towards things which make me money" that has been largely responsible for the decline of America and the emergence of entire industries of con men.
Ask yourself if financial professionals with extensive investment experience such as Warren Buffett (or any other seasoned fund managers for that matter) realize that millions of people are being hoodwinked by the gold scam and all of the lies behind it.
Sure, Buffett knows about the gold con game. I guarantee it.
The question is why Buffett and others who have open access to the media have not come out and exposed it.
Think about that the next time you want to believe that Warren Buffett is a "great guy."
America is now the world's capital of scams and con men.
The United States of America not only serves as an incubator for great ideas and new technologies. It also serves as the incubator for the latest con artist tactics. Today, America beats out every other nation when it comes to the complexity, volume and pervasiveness of scams.
The most recent scam has been centered on linking gold and silver with various doomsday scenarios. The gold and silver doomsday propaganda campaign has been in the making for a number of years and it has been elaborately engineered.
The charlatans involved have spent billions of dollars in marketing, with thousands of pitch men on their payroll, from Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh, to Mark Levine and Sean Hannity. This scam has been particularly widespread within the so-called "alternative media" venue, with known liars and charlatans such as Alex Jones, Max Keiser and Jeff Rense giving life to the next generation of con men.
The so-called "experts" behind this scam have become some of the greatest contrarian indicators in world history. Guys like Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, and Mark Faber are just a few of the guys who have been dead wrong on just about everything that has come out of their mouths. Yet, they continue to receive widespread media attention.
The fact that the media continues to air these broken clock morons addresses the media's role in a much greater scam now one other than Mike Stathis addresses.
No expense has been spared to carry out this grand production because the payoff is enormous to those who are involved in the scam, from 7%, all the way up to 50% commissions on every dollar they convince their sheep to lay down on gold and silver.
Perhaps the best thing about this scam (from the perspective of those who are running it) is that there is NO real regulation of the precious metals industry.
What that means is that it is much easier for all of the players (from precious metals dealers to paid hacks and others) to get away with fraud.
Precious metals dealers can also charge as much as they want. And as long as they keep instilling fear of doomsday into the minds of their sheep, these sheep won't bother to so much as question the financial merits of paying huge commissions for something that is supposed to protect them from the zombie apocalypse. The entire gold and silver pumping movement is a huge scam.
I have previously highlighted the lack of regulation in the precious metals industry as a large contributing factor accounting for large scale fraud that exists.
I have also previously pointed out that it is the same people who are against government regulation who are also the scam artists.
You see, they want to be able to scam the public without any threat of government controls or prosecution. This clan consists of "libertarians."
Whenever someone claims they are a libertarian you can be sure of one of two things; they are either a naive sheep or a con man who leads these sheep.
The plot is simple...
First, convince naive and/or unsophisticated individuals that the dollar is headed to 0, hyperinflation is inevitable, your fiat currency will soon be worthless, and the stock market is going to collapse by as much as 80%.
As your main support for these extremely ridiculous claims, you point to the "endless fiat currency printing" by the fed which is certain to cause "hyperinflation," despite the fact that there really is not endless printing and more important, deflation is the problem.
But there's more to the scam.
If you want to create a cult of duped sheep, you need to position some core values that most people embrace along with your scam. For instance, when the neo-con talking heads in the media want to get naive Americans to go along with the inhumane and costly wars in the Middle East, they state that "you are not a patriot" if you don't support these wars.
And when gold charlatans want you to buy into the mythology they have created that supports buying gold and silver, they liken owning precious metals to "freedom and liberty."
They also liken replacing fiat currency with precious metals as a way to "defeat the evil bankers."
In order to create the maximum impact for this scam, you must ignore all relevant data (including the current ongoing collapse of currencies) and claim that the ruble, real and yuan will unite to "defeat the dollar's dominance," despite the fact that these currencies have collapsed by more than 70% over the past few years.
And because you have taken the required steps to transform mere sheep into cult followers, you will be able to keep the scam going despite obvious signs that the game is over.
For instance, a few years ago the con men were positioning gold and silver as way to make insane amounts of money.
We saw how that's worked out. Unfortunately, gold and silver are going lower.
Now that gold and silver have collapsed by 45% and 70% from their 2011 highs, the huge network of gold-pumping, "liberty-loving, free-market-embracing" con men have not only convinced their cult members that the collapse is due to the "evil bankers," they have also claimed that the goal in owning precious metals isn't as an investment but for insurance.
Never mind that it is illegal to make such claims. The cult will continue to drink the Kool-Aid even though it's been spiked to ensure a disastrous outcome.
Jonestown Suicide Tape
Of course these sales pitches constitute fraud because the pitch men are selling a product (gold and silver) or are being paid to promote the mythology by others which will lead to more sales of these products based on false information.
But so long as the sheep believe your cherry-picked version of doomsday, no one will complain and the con men will continue to fleece their sheep.
After all, your audience consists of sheep, so they will believe anything you tell them without bothering to do any fact-checking. These are typically the same people who listen to disinfo agents and complete liars and frauds such as Alex Jones.
In fact, it is by no coincidence that these con men are frequently interviewed by the kingpin of conspiracies and con men himself, Alex Jones.
This large group of charlatans is also interviewed by many other conspiracy, fear-mongering sociopaths, whose only goal is to make money from ads and steer their sheep towards doomsday products offered by their shady sponsors.
Even if they attempt to check into things you have told them, they lack sufficient financial, investment and economic knowledge to decipher that you are lying to them. And I have not even mentioned the impact that confirmation bias has on the sheep. The more outrageous the prediction, the more they will buy into it.
Next, position gold and silver as your savior from doom. When the banks fail and all hell breaks loose, your life will be spared during the "zombie apocalypse" if you have gold and silver.
Doomsday Preppers
(video has been lost)
But you'll also want to include those who are looking to get rich with no effort, so you engineer the classic greed pitch.
The result?
You position this "opportunity to own gold and silver" as the "greatest transfer of wealth" once the dollar "goes to 0."
That is, you convince your sheep that they stand to win big while the rest of the world loses, including the brightest investment minds and wealthiest investors, who for some reason just don't get it.
Yet, low-IQ , broke chumps, with no real investment experience are onto something that's poised to make them rich because they were fortunate enough to have listened to Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, Mike Maloney, Eric Sprott and thousands of other con artists and idiots, all of which have been completely wrong.
While those who listened to these charlatans have lost large sums of money, these scum bags have made large sums of money, but not from merit. They have essentially taken the money of the sheep who have fallen for their pitch.
To further optimize the effectiveness and reach of the scam, you enlist the help of the entire doomsday crime syndicate to echo your message.
It sounds too good to be true because it is.
But the sheep will fall for it if you keep repeating it.
The "Greatest Transfer of Wealth Opportunity" Hoax
Finally, attack the "evil banks" and "Wall Street" and preach "freedom and liberty" along with your dollar doomsday message so that you are able to lure in those who are disgusted with the banking crooks as well as those who are easily lured by the "feel good" message.
With a complex production like that, those who have fallen for the scam rarely think about the high commissions they are paying for gold and silver. They focus on buying as much as they can because they are convinced the dollar is headed to 0, hyperinflation is coming, the stock market is going to collapse by 80%, and so on.
This entire series of steps comprising the scam consists of nothing more than several low-level psychological tactics that can be easily spotted by those who are alert.
The entire scam constitutes fraud. There is no doubt about it.
The one thing you will NEVER hear these charlatans discuss is the role of the Jewish Mafia in Wall Street and elsewhere. The reason for this is due to the fact that the vast majority of gold and silver dealers and promoters of precious metals are themselves Jewish.
That's right. We have yet another "solution" being offered by Jews to Gentiles who are looking for a way out of the original problem (Wall Street and banks) which is also under the control of the Jewish Mafia.
In order to carry out this heist, these charlatans utilize one of the oldest and most common tricks used by the media. I call it the flooding approach. I'm sure it has a formal name in media circles, but I'll label this media tactic based on how it works.
Here is how the flooding approach works. If you get several individuals constantly delivering the same message, most people will accept it as true. This is one of the most commonly used media tricks to brainwash its audience.
For instance, do you remember how the media kept insisting that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction?
Well, we all know how that turned out. Yet, fast forward more than a decades later and US troops are STILL in Iraq.
The media also uses this approach to reprogram the public when it keeps broadcasts its host of stooges (most of which who are Jewish) to tell you that if you criticize someone, you are a "hater." Of course, this illustrates one of many tactics used to socially intimidate people who dare to speak the truth.
The list of examples of the flooding approach is endless.
In fact, the basis of the flooding approach serves as the primary element of the manipulation that regularly occurs online; in social media and even in article, video or news comment sections.
For instance, the "thumbs up" indicator frequently seen in comment areas is also used to alter public opinion via social pressures by flooding readers with perceived "consensus viewpoints" while hidding comments that have received "thumbs down."
Beyond the obvious brainwashing that occurs, people do not even know whether these results have been manipulated. In many cases they have.
This giant wave of deceit and fraud features numerous conferences, events and other platforms created specifically for the purpose of advancing the countless lies, myths and scare tactics all of which comprise the case for gold and silver as a way to protect yourself from the destruction of all currencies.
Notice they are all Jewish
Nearly every single one of these charlatans is Jewish
"birds of a feather always flock together"
Notice they are all Jewish
These con men and mental midgets are seen and heard everywhere you look, from mainstream and alternative media, to thousands of websites and radio stations.
What I'd like to know is why the vast majority of these losers happens to be Jewish. Is that a coincidence?
Given that Jews make up less than 2% of US population and less than 0.2% of the world population, do some simple statistics calculations and you will see that no such coincidence can explain these findings.
We see the same situation on Wall Street and related financial segments, as well as the media, US government and so on. The Jewish Mafia is alive and well.
Their online presence is inescapable.
No matter where you turn, you will see ads for gold and silver and doomsday scenarios on virtually every website containing ad-based content, pointing to just how much money is involved in pumping the precious metals doomsday sales pitch.
Most of these liars are also Jewish. And the ones who aren't are 100% controlled by Jews. Just examine who they work for and who they have on their staff.
The gold/silver doomsday scam has offered hope for thousands of unemployed individuals who now support themselves by serving as whores for Google via Adsense, whether it be by pimping ads for precious metals on their website or their You Tube channel.
FYI, Molyneux is Jewish, as are the vast majority of gold dealers and gold pumpers. Keep in mind Jews comprise 2% of the US population and less than 0.2% of the world population.
We suspect this con man has mental issues. He is also a confirmed liar who claims to have worked as an analyst and trader at Bear Stearns, which is not true. He now works as a physician assistant while posing as an economic and investment expert for the low-IQ morons who hang around You Tube.
Greg Hunter is one of the biggest promoters of con men on You Tube. He is committing fraud. Notice that Harry Dent makes a prediction of gold falling to $700 (previously he stated $750) several years AFTER it had peaked and was already in a bear market.
Mike Stathis predicted gold would decline as low as $400 by around 2029 after peaking at $2000. Stathis made this forecast publicly in 2009 and gold was still only around $1000 (see Fool's Gold).
The clown below is another one of these libertarian goofballs aligned with morons like Peter Schiff and Ron Paul.
This scumbag has latched onto the doomsday porn as a way to make huge amounts of money selling gold ads.
Another con man raking in the cash by latching onto the gold-pumping doomsday movement. There are thousands of these low-level con men all over You Tube.
Some even hold a day job, but greed has gotten the best of them so they too have become paid whores for the highly deceptive precious metals industry.
They have become small-scale versions of Peter Schiff, Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, Maxx Keiser and other filth spewing all kinds of ridiculous statements and scare tactics.
Working part time, there have been some who have managed to bring in a six-figure income selling precious metals and doomsday ads through their gold pumping websites and You Tube channels as a part-time gig.
And of course we cannot forget about the guys pitching gold "chocolate bars" which are marketed as a way to "protect the value of your currency."
In fact, these awkward thin slabs of gold are even positioned as a real currency that might place one at a huge advantage during high inflation.
Wow. The suggestive nature of this pitch is alarming, especially considering the fact that the main pitch man is a licensed securities professional, supposedly with strict oversight by FINRA and the SEC.
As you can imagine, if you want to rip people off and get away with it, it pays to be Jewish, especially when you work in industries completely controlled by the Jewish Mafia.
After you purchase this "gold currency," it immediately loses 8% of its value due to the fees paid to the vender.
Oddly, these venders never mention this reality. I wonder why.
I won't even talk about how much gold has declined in price since Schiff started pitching this BS.
But if you think $1100 gold is low, you will be in for a rude awakening in a few years.
And we certainly cannot leave out all of those self-proclaiming "patriots, liberty-lovers and capitalists" who sell non-government issued silver coins that cannot even be used as monopoly money, but which are being sold for prices much higher than the spot metal price.
I'm willing to bet that a good deal of these coins contain less silver than advertised.
It is indeed amazing just how gullible the general population has become. This points to the significance of our warnings about the media, excessive use of electronic devices and other media platforms. These things are being used to distract and dumb the population down.
I do not know what is more depressing; the gullible nature of the general population or the large and growing number of con men looking to suck every penny from anyone they can.
During the California Gold Rush of the 1800s, most of the people who struck it rich weren't gold miners. The guys who really made a fortune were the ones who opened general stores. They made a killing selling these hopeful gold prospectors supplies.
This is exactly how the current precious metals scam will play out as well. The guys who make all the money will be those who are selling you the precious metals, doomsday products and those who sell advertisements.
As Mike has been warning, if you pay attention to ad-based content your life is going to suffer in many ways. And by the time you truly realize this it might be too late.
Regardless of the angle utilized to herd the sheep, all of these doomsday charlatans have a few things in common.
1) They target an audience that is susceptible to believing wild claims.
This is why precious metals dealers are most often seen and heard by disinfo conspiracy nuts like Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, Jeff Rense, George Noory, Max Keiser and many others.
Furthermore, you may have noticed that guys like Peter Schiff, Marc Faber, Eric Sprott and several others who are in the financial industry have also made ridiculous statements pertaining to the economy, the stock market, the bond market and precious metals that are consistent with the kind of bull shit aired by Alex Jones, Glenn Beck Jeff Rense, George Noory, Max Keiser and many other charlatans.
Remember, "You are judged by the company you keep."
"Birds of a feather always flock together."
Note that guys like Peter Schiff, Mike Shedlock and many other clowns who call themselves "financial professionals" are being interviewed by these chumps.
If you did not already realize it by now, the bar is quite low for entering the financial industry.
And there really is no bar for being interviewed by the media other than being a shill, idiot, liar or con man.
So let's ask an important question. If you were a serious financial professional, would you associate with conspiracy lunatics who talk about big foot and UFOs and other nonsense?
Perhaps your purpose is to lure a certain group of delusional fruit loops rather than sophisticated investors.
This leads us to the next gimmick...
2) They target individuals that are unsophisticated in the field of investments, economics and finance.
They target these sheep using comical arguments that don't stand up to the most basic level of reasoning or facts. In this manner, they can feed them all sorts of lies and delusional conclusions, all of which fits in with their central theme.
And the central theme always has a link to the advertisers.
After all, if you try to appeal to a group of lunatics, you will be able to attract them based on the "I agree with you guys" mentality instead of attracting them based on your investment performance and track record.
This strategy is very common among clowns who are unable to compete with competent financial professionals.
Haven't you ever wondered why precious metals dealers and promoters have spent so much money (I estimate the amo
