I've learned quite a bit from Jeff Berwick and respect his commitment as a champion of liberty. However, I do love what Doug Casey contributes to the world as well as Lew Rockwell. All champions of freedom. As far as the economy crashing I have a fairly unique viewpoint: I'm an astrologer (among other things!) and have been paying close attention to the "charts" of the US and California. The US chart has some extremely powerful challenges coming up with the economy that will hit the red line in 2021. But that's just what I'm seeing. Could be wrong. In the meantime let's make hay while the sun shines.
