issues to address here let's bring back gerald celente founder of trans research institute publisher of the trends journal to give us his thoughts on this so gerald we hear that this new york regulator maybe he's going rogue maybe he's the first guy willing to take on the big banks i don't know eliot spitzer when he did that years ago or maybe this is a case where someone else is going on i'm curious what your reaction is to this new york regulator well you know i only know what i'm reading yeah and what i'm reading is that the bank had been cooperative since two thousand and ten and has been giving them all the information that they wanted and that was in two hundred fifty billion dollars that was more you know in the in the tens of millions of dollars that is supposedly money laundering again only the facts that are being presented or whether or not there are facts but the information that's being presented and also left a little suspect. just in the sense of what the issue is and as i read about lawsky the the prosecutor they say he was born in the military base and this issue has

show gerald to level with everyone and thanks again that's gerald celente founder and trans research institute and publisher of the trends journal have a great weekend you too thank you. all right it's friday so let's wrap up with your feedback let's take it from wednesday jim rickards was on the show he was talking about pretty much everything operation twist the fed gold fort knox jamie diamond europe and who he calls the institutionalized rent seekers who have attached themselves like parasites to democrats and to the republican party respectively take a listen around secret someone who figures out a way to manipulate the system to assure a quo for themselves but they give very little back or give nothing back so they actually destroy well for society. so he identified public sector unions as the rent seekers for democrats and wall street as the rent seekers for republicans original prisoner x. said on you tube if people believe what almost all that is all economists left right and in between understand that wages have either stagnated or decreased for the past thirty years then how is it t

the public religion research institute's 2010 american values survey, the largest of its kind, by the way n surveying tea party members, reported similar findings about tea party members. 53% in support of relationship recognition for gay couples. this large pocket of support for same-sex recognition should come as no surprise given what the research, pew research center found in its own polling of the tea party movement. only 42% of self-identified tea party members agree with the conservative christian movement while 46% have no opinion of it or haven't heard of it, and 11% opposed it. striking confirmation, i think, that the religious right and the tea party are anything but synonymous movements. part of the reason, i think, for this much broader acceptance of social tolerance is the large number of libertarians in the tea party movement. i actually outlined three studies in the book, i show that approximately half of tea party activists are libertarians versus the more traditional conservative, that most people think make up the movement. and, in fact, a study by david kirby and e

should mention so deep gently is a regular guest on this show he's a brilliant bassist and his research institutional research is very highly regarded and this idea where the supplies are tight and people can't get their hands on large purchases or not even that large purchases of solver this is exactly why you see backwardation correct the price of the short term is higher then in the longer dated futures contracts correct indeed i would just say that this is a way of coloring that comment so yes i mean we've been in backwardation solidly pretty much from january of this year i mean there have been no it's very stripped out but basically we've had a. near permanent backwardation which which which sandeep and his and professor they would both say is permanent backwardation of gold and silver is a sign that everything is breaking down completely and at some point we are going to see this if we're to be correct in as much as only gold and silver money and everything else is just a credit and a promise which can't be paid are then one could expect this to happen it seems to be pretty close exact timing

century where the price that will eventually continue to go down the international food policy research institute has looked out to the future to twenty fifty and they basically think that food prices will stabilize about where they are now and remain more or less that way for the next forty years as productivity continues to rise around the world so ultimately food if you think about it in the last twenty years if you look at the average price of food it's never been cheaper or more abundant than any time else in history and i fully expect that trend to continue ok but david and in light of what well just said there's still a billion people that are hungry out there so the system is not working. that's because they're poor yeah and we need to do economic development so that they can buy food and markets we have plenty of food they just can't buy it and that's really the problem ok david you want jump in there go ahead well they have put plenty of food and. as a i think one thing that a lot of people are beginning to rethink is the impact of global warming and climate change on the prospects for
