First Interview in the “World War III” Series Is Now Live When it comes to opposing war and to raising objections even when it is extremely unpopular and even when one is the only sole voice speaking out against collective madness, there are very few individuals alive today that have repeatedly demonstrated the courage to do so. Even among these select few, arguable no-one has been as consistent, as tireless and as consistently sidelined and...

World War III: A film that challenges everything we have been told

2026-01-17

Over the past decades, and especially in the last few years, war has been radically reframed in the public mind. It’s not raw and brutal bloodshed, senseless destruction and atrocious human pain and suffering. War is no longer seen as an abomination, as the absolute worst case scenario that we must all do our best to avoid. The mainstream media and political leadership of the western world is enthusiastically calling for war, with ominous...

Inflation as a moral hazard

2025-12-19

by Claudio Grass

2025-12-19

As I have argued many times in the past, the corruption of money itself and its purposeful devaluation is by far the most important problem facing not just investors and savers, but virtually every single citizen on the face of the planet. Taxation, especially the extremely predatory and aggressive kind that most governments enforce today, might indeed be theft, but inflation is even worse. This is because taxation might be robbery, but at least it...

“Sometimes, the only winning move is not to play”

2025-11-23

This was the conclusion of the assessment of legendary investor Michael Burry regarding the current market conditions. To be precise, his take as recently posted on X, in full, was “Sometimes, we see bubbles. Sometimes, there is something to do about it. Sometimes, the only winning move is not to play.” The insight behind these words is something that a lot of investors could use at this time. The unrestrained, unjustifiable and unrealistic...

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

2025-11-04

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...

Bastiat’s enduring legacy

2025-10-17

by Claudio Grass

2025-10-17

Frédéric Bastiat, the 19th-century French economist and philosopher, is best known for his defense of individual liberty, free markets, and limited government, and his ideas, especially at the time he conceived them were as profound as they were simple and elegant. He recognized the absolute need to protect the smallest minority in the world, the individual, and he clearly saw the numerous dangers of state overreach, of aggressive interventionism...

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...

At the end of last month, a shock announcement came from the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), declaring that one-kilogram and 100-ounce gold bars imported from Switzerland would be subject to a hefty 39% tariff, under the country’s “reciprocal tariffs” policy, which had already applied broadly to Swiss goods. This CBP decision came in response to a Swiss refiner’s request for clarity and guidance on whether gold would be part of the wider US...

By now, I’m pretty sure that all of my clients and regular readers fully understand why allocating a part of their wealth to physical precious metals is not just the smart move, but an increasingly essential one. Owing real, tangible gold and silver is the only way to protect yourself from both monetary and fiscal excesses and from government overreach. However, it is equally important to know what to do with it once you bought it. Preparing for...
