John Titus is a lawyer, licensed before the U.S. Supreme Court, who’s practiced patent litigation for over 15 years. In 2011-12, he took a break from his practice to make a feature-length film, Bailout, about the real cause of the financial crisis: criminal fraud.
John joins us today to discuss what actually caused the financial crisis because it isn’t what the TV told you. Why he went to the expense and trouble of making a film. What distinguishes Bailout from other financial crisis films and the direct cause and effect relationship between Wallstreet elites and the crisis.
I think you will be intrigued when I ask him how many bankers should be in jail a you hear the math behind his response. We also will discuss how this crisis will end and the sad answer can be summed up as bad or worse.
Before becoming a lawyer, John worked as a circuit designer for motors used on the Space Shuttle and space station. He was a free market Republican until the party betrayed itself as a total sham in 2008 by getting TARP passed.

Episode-1092- Marjory Wildcraft on Cuba's Experience During Economic Collapse[ 1:17:31 ]Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
Marjory WIldcraft of Backyard Food Production
Today Marjory Wildcraft of Back Yard Food Production joins us to discuss taking control of your own food supply with home growing, small livestock and community building.
Not long ago humans fed themselves, provided for their on needs and were largely self sufficient. They knew how to feed themselves, how to take care of animals, what to plant and what to do when something went wrong. Marjory’s DVD, “Food Production Systems for a Backyard or Small Farm” is your guide to recapturing that lost knowledge.
Marjory is a nationally recognized expert in organic backyard food production. She is the creator of a widely acclaimed video tutorial titled Food Production Systems for a Backyard or Small Farm. Marjory teaches people with no gardening or agricultural experience, how to successfully grow healthy, vibrant, life-giving nutritious food.
Her DVD is endorsed and carried by such notables as The Permaculture Activist, Acre’s USA, John Jeavons and Ecology Action’s premier seed and tool company Bountiful Gardens, SurvivalBlog.com and The Weston-Price Nutrition Foundation. It has now been viewed by over 250,000 people in more then 30 countries.
Today she joins us to discuss her recent visit to Cuba to review the results of what can only be called a “forced organic revolution”. Marjory will give you the good, the bad and the ugly on what happened with the U.S.S.R. fell apart and Russia pulled the plug on all Cuban support. You will see there is a lot of accuracy in the documentary “The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil” and that the documentary is at the same time, quite, overly optimistic.
Join us today as we discuss…
What sudden and total economic collapse was like for Cuba
The real reason Cuba went all organic, they had to
Black market and criminal activity during the collapse
Some of the major advantages Cuba had over a nation like the US in a collapse
Some of the major disadvantages Cuba faced compared to a nation like the US
How many Cubans committed suicide during the collapse
The false promise of socialism and how it has disempowered the Cuban people
How we can use what the Cuban’s learned prior to a collapse
Is Jack Spirko Smoking Crack – (video by a listener who says 13 skills is to many in one year – what say you? BE NICE if you comment on his video, he isn’t being a jerk)

There are two schools of thought that seem to exist about our economy right now. The first seems to be we are screwed and very soon. The second seems to be there is nothing to worry about, the economy will have ups and downs just like always but long term we will continue to grow and move forward.
Both of these are short sighted. The first view is like being told you have a treatable but eventually fatal cancer and assuming that means you will be dead by next week. So you blow all your money on a big party and a trip around the world. The second view is like just ignoring the cancer since it is slow moving and likely won’t kill you for a couple years, who knows you might survive 5 years or more so don’t worry about it.
In both these scenarios the patient is harmed more then they should be. The smart decision would be to evaluate and pursue the most common sense and reasonable treatment available while attempting to continuing living your life, hopefully valuing each day more and doing what you can to beat the odds and become an odds breaking survivor. Well, in the case of our economy it isn’t you that has cancer, it is someone you care about. Put into this context we understand why we need to take a sobering look at out economic future.

Glen Tate is the author of the ten-book prepper novel series “299 Days” published by Prepper Press.
The books describe an average guy who prepares for, and lives through, a partial collapse of the United States.
Glen joins us today to discuss a bit of the plot line for book five in the 299 Days book series.
Today we discuss how and ongoing collapse will play out, how it will both divide and unite citizens and human nature during the worst of times. We also discuss the problems creating the collapse at their core, some solutions, and why some components of the “union” may ball apart.
Glen is a moderator on the TSP forum under the name “Heavy G.” He lives and works in Olympia, Washington where he has a front row seat to the corruption in government. Much like the main character in the series, the author is a forty-something resident of the capitol of Washington State, Olympia, and is a very active prepper. He grew up in the remote logging town of Forks, Washington.
“Glen” keeps his identity a secret so he won’t lose his job because, in his line of work, being a prepper and questioning the motives of government is not appreciated.
The story line of 299 Days is as follows,
In it, the main character, Grant Matson, has a job that allows him to see what’s wrong with government. He realizes he needs to prepare for what’s coming and he does so. His wife, Lisa, is reluctant to prepare because she thinks things are just fine. When the civil unrest and political collapse hit in a dramatic way, it is undeniable that they need to leave their Olympia, Washington home and head to their cabin. But, Lisa is still reluctant; she desperately wants things to remain “normal.”
Out at the cabin, a collection of amazing–yet real–people assemble. They create their own community because the government isn’t functioning in their area. They have to work together and, as a community, they manage to achieve some impressive results. Unlike most prepper stories, in 299 Days America suffers a partial collapse. The utilities stay one (due to a spell-binding plot twist) and the government functions in larger cities. People in rural areas still get some food and services from the government, but must increasingly rely on themselves. There are no zombies or cannibalism; 299 Days describes a much more likely partial collapse scenario.
Grant’s friends, who work in government, describe how things continue to go down hill in the city and how the government is trying to maintain control. They describe exactly why the government, as big and powerful as it once was, cannot control things. Many in the military and law enforcement step in to stop the bad things; others in the military and law enforcement perpetuate the bad things.
After a while out at the cabin, some important visitors arrive and present Grant with a difficult choice. Eventually, the Patriots–the side Grant is on–are forced to take on what’s left of the former government. There is a huge battle. In the end, Grant has an important job at the beginning of the rebuilding.
Recently I have had to explain many times that TSP is not about “the end of the world” in the way prepping is portrayed in “Doomsday Preppers” and other such mass media things. I don’t mean on the air, I mean in real life and in some email exchanges. This is part of why I hate things like Doomsday Non Reality TV.
Thing is I don’t really care if someone thinks I am nuts. Hell my business partner Neil Franklin calls me “Crazy Jack”. The concern is that when prepping is presented as “extreme” to the masses it actually emboldens them to remain unprepared. They look at this stuff and think “those people are nuts” and the natural response to take the show to be nothing more then entertainment like Jersey Shore of the bimbo Kardahians.
The reality is along with things like natural disasters which we have all witnessed many suffer the consequences of not being prepared for, we have a bigger issue. The world is not going to end but it is shifting right now in many ways, today we are going to discuss that shift.
Join Me Today As We Discuss…
How we got here collectively
How we got here individually (more important)
Some Shifts we Must Understand
Population
Economics
Politics
Migration
Resource Competition
Long Term Cycles
Why these things will happen, not might happen
What we can do to prepare for them
Why we need to be prepared to help more then just “our own”
The community you are part of whether you want to be or not
Why there is a lot of hope in our future despite a lot of challenge

Today you get an opportunity to win a signed proof edition of the third and forth books in the 299 Days series. Not just by Glen but by me as well, make sure to pay attention to how to do that in today’s episode.
Glen Tate is the author of the ten-book prepper novel series “299 Days” published by Prepper Press. The books describe an average guy who prepares for, and lives through, a partial collapse of the United States.
Glen joins us today to discuss the plot lines of books three and four in the 299 Days book series. Today we discuss what an initial collapse would look like and why Glen feels it is inevitable based on his close up insider seat within the walls of government.
We also discuss the newest changes Glen has made in his personal life, progress on “flipping his spouse” and the reality that many people within government are becoming receptive to both TSP and the message of 299 days.
The story line of 299 Days is as follows,
In it, the main character, Grant Matson, has a job that allows him to see what’s wrong with government. He realizes he needs to prepare for what’s coming and he does so.

The First of the 299 Days Series

Glen Tate is the author of the ten-book prepper novel series “299 Days” published by Prepper Press. The books describe an average guy who prepares for, and lives through, a partial collapse of the United States.
Glen joins us today for a bit of a look at the next two books in the series, an update of feedback thus far on the release of the first two books and how people are opening minds with the first two books. We also discuss prepping with a reluctant spouse and how it can be done under the radar if necessary along with the importance of never saying “I told you so” in such important matters.
The story line of 299 Days is as follows,
In it, the main character, Grant Matson, has a job that allows him to see what’s wrong with government. He realizes he needs to prepare for what’s coming and he does so.

I am only calling it QE3 because that is how it is mostly known to the public. It would be more accurate to call this thing QEF (quantitative easing forever) or QEI (quantitative easing infinity).
I also know the majority of people who will read this post and watch these videos will be fairly educated financially and will likely at first have a problem with my claim that it will “work”, please understand work here DOES NOT MEAN, it will be good or it will fix out problems.
Work as I am using it means it will do what it is actually supposed to do, create a financial shell game that will buy the Fed and the Banking Elite time to set up a financial check mate when they shift the current monetary paradigm. So listen with an open mind and get as prepared as you can for what is on the horizon.
