Hans-Hermann Hoppe: “The State is the greatest parasite in history”

2026-09-03

I have long admired Hans-Hermann Hoppe and closely followed his work for over a decade, as in my view, his is one of the most uncompromising, intellectually courageous and rigorous voices in the Austrian tradition. A few days ago I came across a wide-ranging conversation he gave on the Portuguese podcast CdK and at a time when Western societies appear increasingly trapped in cycles of debt, demographic decline, geopolitical overreach and...

Prof. David Betz: Mass Migration to Civil War

2026-08-04

Part of the upcoming “World War III” documentary For decades, but especially over the last one, Europeans have been told to embrace multiculturalism as a net positive for society and for the economy. They were told to open their hearts and their doors to newcomers and to give them a chance to culturally enrich their nations. Of course, they weren’t actually given a choice in the matter, as their leaders opened the doors anyway, without asking...

Why gold’s recent “silence” is a flashing buy signal

2026-04-02

2026-04-02

The recent “calm” in the gold market has left many observers, and especially the precious metal’s critics, questioning whether the “safe-haven” thesis still stands or whether its time has passed. In the shadow of the ongoing Middle East conflict and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the yellow metal failed to deliver the immediate, parabolic spike that many assumed should accompany a global energy crisis. Instead, we witnessed the opposite,...

Gold’s flashing warning: The end is nigh for fiat

2025-11-04

by

2025-11-04

Gold’s spectacular performance has drawn a lot of attention and invited endless analyses and commentaries. There are many theories out there as to why the yellow metal is surging like never before in modern memory, however most of them are shortsighted, or tend to miss the forest for the trees. The metal’s meteoric rise is not merely sending message about inflation expectations or rate policy. It’s flashing a clear warning sign about the...

A conversation with Catherine Austin Fitts

I recently had the great pleasure of (virtually) sitting down with Catherine Austin Fitts, investment banker, President of Solari, and former US Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing, and having an extremely interesting conversation about the outlook for gold and silver. It was a fascinating discussion, especially given our current economic, monetary and geopolitical context: there so many risks and challenges ahead, that...

Geopolitical theater and implications for investors (or lack thereof)

2025-07-11

by

2025-07-11

The last month has been truly remarkable for modern human history – at least if one was paying attention to mainstream news headlines and TV anchors. Apparently, we came extremely close to World War III and we very likely had a very tight escape from an all-out nuclear holocaust that could have forever changed the our species’ trajectory and annihilated millions.  It all started with Israel’s surprise bombardment of Iran (which wasn’t really a...

A Politically Incorrect “Where Are We Now?”

2025-06-09

A few days ago, I had the great pleasure to sit down again with my good friend James Patrick in person, in Monte Brè. It was a truly spontaneous and unfiltered conversation about the current state of the world, the bizarre geopolitical situation and the tragicomical moment in history that we find ourselves in. We talked about the extreme, and likely unprecedented, risks we face in the global economic and financial system and I’m very glad we...

Gold climbing from record high to record high: why buy now?

2024-10-28

by

2024-10-28

Share this article Part I of II There is no question that gold owners have been finally and spectacularly vindicated over the last months: the “barbarous relic”, the “worthless shiny rock”, as many have called the yellow metal, once again proved its value as a true safe haven. In the face of inflation, intense geopolitical turmoil and widespread uncertainty, investors fled to safety “en masse”, as they consistently, repeatedly and predictably...

Economic freedom: Politics, of course, by its nature is always the pursuit of the Left

2024-07-08

by

2024-07-08

Share this article Article II of II, by Claudio Grass Collectivism is extremely versatile and very easy for political animals to “sell” to the public and to weaponize. Politics, of course, by its nature is always the pursuit of the Left, if we are to follow strict definitions. It seeks to influence and coerce others and it abhors individual liberties and self-determination. What we know as far-right is national socialism and the rest is...

Is gold too expensive to buy right now?

2024-04-08

Share this article This question has been at the center of a great many conversations I’ve been recently having with clients and friends. The way I like to answer it is with another question: Expensive compared to what?  Despite its recent surge to record highs, there are compelling reasons why purchasing gold right now is a prudent decision, with strong indications that its value is poised to climb even higher. Making investment decisions...

People invest in gold for many different reasons. Many do so out of concern over economic, monetary or political uncertainty. Others seek a hedge against inflation, a way to protect and preserve the real purchasing power of their savings.

War is the health of the State

2023-11-22

Part I of II by Claudio Grass For any reasonably well read adult, any amateur student of history or any responsible citizen for that matter, the idea that ”war is the health of the State” should be adjacent to a truism. After all, literally nobody benefits from violence and bloodshed apart from those at the heart of any State that is directly or indirectly involved and their cronies. In fact, the more horrific the violence and the more...

Part II of II by Claudio Grass, Hünenberg See, Switzerland. For those of us who have studied history, these Ingenuous beliefs and expectations likely bring a smirk to our face. However, these are entirely reasonable assumptions for most citizens, as the majority of the population is blissfully unaware of the numerous real-life examples that clearly demonstrate just how capable and how eager the government is to do these things – to fail, or to lie,...

Part I of II by Claudio Grass, Hünenberg See, Switzerland To most observant citizens and diligent investors it is surely quite obvious that the current monetary, fiscal and banking system is inherently flawed, hopelessly unjust, corrupt, unsustainable and simply destined to collapse sooner or later. With every (predictable) recession and every (foreseeable) crisis, this structure gets weaker; its very own architects increasingly second-guess...
