It remains stubbornly high.

In the meantime, the Fed has been busy pumping money at a rate that has the dollar hitting new lows in the currency markets and gold reaching new highs until very… Continue

"I apologize for the down time and now we have over a dozen people ensuring the same does not happen again, or if it does happen - we can backtrack it to its source much easier this round.

Air travel is going to become increasingly dangerous

NaturalNews) When flight 214 crashed last week at the San Francisco airport, killing two people and injuring dozens, many people were in a state of disbelief. How could a Boeing 777 -- the "Titanic" of commercial airliners -- be piloted so carelessly that the pilot seemingly flew it into the seawall and caused the accident?
