Dear Daily Bell,

Please do an "expose" on Jim Sinclair. People seem to follow him blindly when just listening to his words and looking at his background shows he is one of the "illuminate".

Jim Sinclair is primarily a precious metals specialist and a commodities and foreign currency trader. He founded the Sinclair Group of Companies (1977), which offered full brokerage services in stocks, bonds, and other investment vehicles. The companies, which operated branches in New York , Kansas City, Toronto , Chicago , London and Geneva , were sold in 1983.

From 1981 to 1984, Mr. Sinclair served as a Precious Metals Advisor to Hunt Oil and the Hunt family for the liquidation of their silver position as a prerequisite for the $1 billion loan arranged by the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Paul Volcker.

He was also a General Partner and Member of the Executive Committee of two New York Stock Exchange firms and President of Sinclair Global Clearing Corporation (commodity clearing firm) and Global Arbitrage (derivative dealer in metals and currencies).

In April 2002, shareholders of Tanzanian Royalty Exploration (formerly Tan Range Exploration) approved the acquisition of Tanzania American International, a company managed by the Sinclair family. Following this transaction, Mr. Sinclair became Chairman of Tanzanian Royalty and now leads its efforts to become a gold producer and royalty company.

He has authored numerous magazine articles and three books dealing with a variety of investment subjects, including precious metals, trading strategies and geopolitical events, and their relationship to world economics and the markets. He is a frequent and enormously popular speaker at gold investment conferences and his commentary on gold and other financial issues garners extensive media coverage at home and abroad.

In January 2003, Mr. Sinclair launched, “Jim Sinclair’s MineSet,” which now hosts his gold commentary and is intended as a free service to the gold community.

Mr. Rogers may see no reason to sell his dollars, but I moved to South America several years ago and the dollar has lost 46% of its value in the past five years. Even with this dramatic loss in value, the cost of living down here is less than half of what it is up north... With the same standard of living and as good as or better medical care. Actually, when you factor in the far lower cost of health care (and I can tell you from experience it is at least as good as in the US), the cost of living is probably closer to 75% less than in the US. I can certainly understand why Baby Boomers will have to work until they die. On the upside, that means lower payouts for Social Security.

Jim brings understanding and truth to those interested in gold. He does this free of charge. No one should follow anyone blindly, but Jim certainly has the creds. He is not part of the gang of criminals currently holding sway in banking and finance, in my opinion. In other words, there is nothing to expose.

Jim always has a way of stating the situation as if it is obvious, which to him I'm sure it is. Thanks Mr. Rogers. Now I gotta check out the ancient astronauts thing!

I agree, but how can he possible fall for the storyline that Iran is a threat to us? How long has it been since they attacked anyone vs. the history of those who demonize them? That is really the only thing I disagree with Jim on at this point and yes, it makes me wonder at times about his loyalties.

To be clear, I was referring to Jim Sinclair.

Video won't play all of the way through. I tried four times.

The video will not load at all. I think it has been disabled? What a surprise.

What is interesting to me is the promotion of Ron Paul as the presidential candidate who will reign in central banking. The only question I have, why does Ron Paul cozy up to the candidate of the central banking crowd, Mitt Romney... ???

Can anybody explain why Ron Paul takes Romney's back... ??? I don't understand it, unless Ron Paul is just a charlatan who is taking his supporters for a ride.

Ron Paul has accomplished "zip" legislatively in all his 24 years in Congress. Not a great record to recommend him as a politician.

His "ah-chucks" sort of approach in lecturing us on the Constitution as he campaigns, is becoming wearisome.

His recent mean-spirited remarks directed at Michelle Bachmann and Rick Santorum, show him as anything, but compassionate.

Add to it the fact that he never criticizes Romney, but runs negative ads attacking Santorum in a head-on race with Romney in Michigan, a state in which he doesn't actively campaign, and a picture of Ron Paul emerges which is down right scary.

However, this is a "free" country. People can choose who they want to support. The voters certainly proved their political savvy when they elected Obama in 2008.

The video works.

At first it didn't work for me either, I hit the page refresh button, then an ad played before the video, but it worked.

Greece has a coupon payment May 20. It's painfully obvious that Greece has nothing to gain be delaying a default.

Swaps & derivatives,, G8 and NATO are all meeting in Chicago in May. I suspect that Greece will default before the next coupon payment.
Everybody is meeting in Chicago to try to save the whole futures & options market.

While various powers are trying to paint a rosy picture leading up to the election, I don't see stability lasting that long.
The FED has successfully pumped up the stock market but, has failed to attract buyers for treasury bonds. That is a major-league failure. The BRICs are unloading treasuries by the ton. India is on track to buy 5,000 tons of silver to add to their private stash of 18,000 tons of gold.

The petrodollar should survive until the election but, not a whole lot longer.

I seriously doubt that obummer will get the stability that he wants.

Here's some speculation for ya Bischoff:

Working with what ya got? Making the best of a bad situation? I don't know.

Also, to say, "Ron Paul has accomplished "zip" legislatively in all his 24 years in Congress." is not correct,... and even if it were, sometimes doing nothing Is doing something,... which is often times the better thing to do, imho. I wish there were more like him.

One last thought, the popular vote in the presidential election is kind of meaningless, just ask Al Gore, it's the delegates that matter and Ron Paul is getting those,... so maybe Romney is setting himself up to be Ron Paul's vice president choice?

Stranger things have happened. It Is a horse race after all.

Something else is happening March 20, that might prove a game changer:

Jim Rogers makes the case that only Ron Paul understands the economic problems. When / if the CBOT blows up, there will be a lot more people willing to listen to someone with different ideas. If the PTB want to reelect obummer, they have to work some kind of magic in Chicago. Most investors have shown themselves too smart to fall for the BS. They don't believe in magic.

Bischoff,

You revealed a lot about your judgement to me when you came on this board and announced your support for NEWT GINGRICH. Now you attack Ron Paul because he "has not accomplished anything"? I suppose supporting the patriot act and No Child Left Behind would be considered a "accomplishment" by you?

You think it is "mean-spirited" for Ron Paul to call Santorum a fake? I think it is honest ... it is a major accomplishment in my book to bring honesty into the national debates. Traditional political "accomplishments" are nto able to change the direction of this country... only the broad sowing of ideas can move this country in a better direction and that has been Ron Paul's biggest accomplishment thus far.

Bischoff, it seems you underestimate the problems this country faces. You seem to not understand that democracy as it is practiced today is merely a tool of a control, meant to satiate the masses into thinking they are not feudal serfs while gauranteeing that the important interest of the money printers are never challenged. Seriously Newt Gingrich would not be an improvement over Obama, if you can't understand why then you are going to have problems relating to the ideas presented on this web site.

Just curious, why do you choose to come here instead of National Review or Red State or The Economist?

In the last 24 years how much legislation passed was unconstitutional? My guess is damn near all of it. Maybe if the rest of those parasites that vote the way their paid and the constitution be damned did the same as RP we citizens wouldn't be government assassin targets. And Maybe we wouldn't be holding our shoes in our hands waiting to be XXXrayed or felt up like good little serfs.

We wouldn't know how much and who the Federal Reserve gave it's freshly printed up paper to,,, now would we?

As the Bell and most others know,,, I have some questions about RP but his voting record isn't one of them. That's more than I can say about the others and especially Obomber who is a quote, "constitutional scholar" His entire life is sealed so how do we know where his area of expertise lies.

It isn't the quantity of legislation... it's the quality.

more fluoride please.

Gee, just bumped into this ... in case you haven't seen it already:

"The Secret Meeting That Launched the Federal Reserve: Echoes" (Bloomberg, Feb 15, 2012)

Quote: "Of course, the Jekyll Island conference, which met that month, was dodgy even by the standards of the Gilded Age: a self-selected handful of plutocrats secretly meeting at a private resort island to draw up a new framework for the nation's banking system. Add in the gnarly live oaks and dripping Spanish moss of coastal Georgia, and the baronial becomes baroque.

(... )

Today, a central bank is the global standard. All 187 members of the International Monetary Fund have them. In November 2010, Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke held a press conference on Jekyll Island to celebrate the centennial of the meeting. Aldrich and his colleagues would have been proud of their accomplishment -- but mortified by the publicity.

Thanks. Just read the comments! The cat is well and truly "out of the bag."

What's your point... ???

Read the comments below the article. People simply don't believe the Federal Reserve was created for "their" benefit. Even you have now admitted it was not merely a innocuous enterprise. It wasn't. It isn't. We even think it may be on the way out.
