The question of whether Donald Trump will run for president seems to be the topic of conversation everywhere you turn. I think Trump is the master of marketing himself and has already decided to run but is just trying to build the hype for the main event. I'm sure trump is a busy man and wouldn't be putting all the effort into this if he wasn't planning on running.

Six Considerations For Discussing The Imposition Of A Libyan No-Fly Zone
I wish everyone talking about imposing a no-fly zone on Libya would take a deep breath Americans have an odd habit of backing into war . We first deployed ground combat forces into Vietnam in the spring of 1965 simply to protect American air bases, for example.
Another All Time Record In Food Stamp Usage
Bernanke's plan to recreate Libya in our own back yard is continuing to work magnificently. It is no surprise that on Charles Ponzi day, the update to food stamp usage indicates that in December those receiving an average of $134 per month has just hit 44.1 million people. These lucky people will soon be able to buy an inflation adjusted 2.3 crumbs of notional bread with this generous handout from the Chairsatan.

U.S. Military Seperation Agreement
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950′s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this current administration has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let’s just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:

Wars, Rumors Of Wars, Skyrocketing Oil Prices And Global Economic Chaos – Why Is All Of This Happening?
Did anyone out there anticipate that 2011 would be such a wild year? The year is barely over two months old and we have already seen multiple civil wars erupt, rumors of more wars all over the mainstream media (potentially even including the United States), riots and revolutions breaking out all over the globe, oil prices soaring into the stratosphere and chaos on global financial markets.
A Conspiracy With a Silver Lining
As Americans know all too well by this point, commodity prices — for corn, wheat, soybeans, crude oil, gold and even farmland — have been going through the roof for what seems like forever. There are many causes, primarily supply and demand pressures driven by fears about the unrest in the Middle East, the rise of consumerism in China and India, and the Fed’s $600 billion campaign to increase the money supply.
War Against Social Security
KINGSTON, NY, 3 March 2011 — Expensive wars and trillion dollar annual military/security budgets, bailouts and tax cuts for the mega-rich, and high unemployment and a shrunken tax base from jobs offshoring threaten price stability, the dollar’s role as reserve currency, and the financial viability of government in the United States.
If You Think This Oil Spike Is Temporary, Check Out This Chart
This oil price spike is going to be anything but short lived, if you believe this chart from Morgan Stanley.
So beyond the Middle East instability trend, there's a much bigger problem lurking.
It details how by the year 2013, there's not going to be any excess supply in the system. That means, even if the Saudis aren't lying about being able to ramp up production like Jim Rogers says, they've only got two more years to do so before that spare capacity evaporates.
Global Food Prices Hit A Record High For The Third Straight Month
Global food prices broke another record in February: higher than January, December and the so-called food crisis of 2008. At this point it's hard not to see food as a key factor in the Arab revolts.

Inflation Is Here – Just Open Up Your Eyes And Look At These 5 Financial Charts!
Despite what Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says, rampant inflation is officially here.

The American people are not stupid. They notice the differenceTuesday, March 1, 2011

Those who see hope in the Middle East uprisings seem to assume that they will lead in the direction of freedom or democracy.

The Market Is Telling Us That The Dollar Is Finished
There’s major shift occurring right now in financial markets.
Sure, the food and freedom riots that are spreading across the globe are a major indicator that civil unrest follows very closely behind resource shortages and economic turmoil… but there’s something else that I’ve noticed recently– it’s a sea change in the financial system.
In the past, major crises normally caused investors to seek safe haven assets, and everything else equal, the dollar would rise. They call it a ‘flight to safety’, and investors would flock towards the perceived stability of US Treasury securities.

Obama Well Knows What Chaos He Has Unleashed
Not content with creating havoc in the U.S. economy, setting Americans against each other, and forcing through a health reform act which has nothing to do with health but everything to do with the redistribution of wealth and an immense increase in governmental interference, our president has now opened a Pandora's Box in the Middle East. It may well usher in a catastrophe not seen since World War 2.
America Prepares To Ride The Oil Price Wave
Oil affects the global cost of everything from food to transport and also threatens to stifle economic recovery.
Protests in Arab countries seem to fuel one another; unrest is spreading like wildfire through the Middle East and North Africa. The protests are raging in or near oil-rich countries that help fuel the world’s use of more than 84 million barrels of crude a day.

Marc Faber Thinks We Are All Doomed
All who enjoy hearing a meaty Marc Faber fire and brimstone sermon, that cuts through the bullshit, will be happy to know that the Gloom, Boom and Doom author conducted a 40 minute interview with the McAlvany Financial Group, which covers all the usual suspects: gold, silver, precious and industrial metals, the "crack up boom", the future of the Ponzi and capital markets in general and much more. Of course, it wouldn't be a Faber interview without the requisite soundbite: "I think we are all doomed. I think what will happen is that we are in the midst of a kind of a crack-up boom that is not sustainable, that eventually the economy will deteriorate, that there will be more money-printing, and then you have inflation, and a poor economy, an extreme form of stagflation, and, eventually, in that situation, countries go to war, and, as a whole, derivatives, the market, and everything will collapse, and like a computer when it crashes, you will have to reboot it." Of course, on a long enough timeline...
