H L Quist - The Myth Buster

Our focus today is on the Federal Debt limit which will be breached sometime this fall unless it's increased. Since 1953 this threat of the Government's default on its' debt has been used by both parties as leverage to accomplish its' goals while never seeking to resolve the fundamental issues that create the continuous problem. Two experts recommend that Congress eliminate the charade and repeal the law limiting the total debt. We offer the pros and cons on this issue.

Our FEATURE today focuses on the extreme turmoil in America and the possibility that it may manifest itself into the Country's second civil war. According to Peggy Noonan in this weekends Wall St Journal these factions "all look down on each other and increase hate for each other". A very unhealthy environment for a resolution of differences perhaps not seen in the US since World War I. The attack on Republican House members at a practice field opens a whole new area of concern that this radical movement is out of control. We make our suggestions how Americans can defuse the ignition of a civil war.

Our FEATURE today focuses on a micro cap company VOIP-Pal.com who has successfully patented technology specifically targeting the routing of wireless calls and video that is seamless. Numerous major companies have been infringing on the IP of this company since 2010 but none have paid license fees to VPLM. The Company has filed a lawsuit vs Apple, Inc claiming that it owes $25 B in back licensing fees. Apple, Inc asked that this case be adjudicated through the Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB) which has been staffed with attorneys with past connections to Apple,Inc. This public revelation has created a firestorm in the industry when past litigants learned that 87% of all cases were decided in favor of Apple,Inc and other major companies. We discuss here recent events this past week which are a "game changer" for not only VPLM but for all those companies that lost their cases at the PTAB. Other topics include: The NASDAQ and the FAANG stocks take a bite, Bitcoin up 68,952% since 2012, Wave 111 of the Gold

Our FEATURE today focuses on President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.(ACC) His decision reinforces his position that American economic interests are foremost and the ACC is designed to bleed the US for redistribution to underdeveloped countries. It also allows us the opportunity to expose the fraudulence of this agreement. Most listeners are not aware how Al Gore and his partner David Blood (Blood & Gore) profited from the trade of "carbon credits" and how universities and climate scientists secured hundreds of millions or possibly billions of dollars in research grants for the support of this radical redistribution scheme.

Our FEATURE today focuses on the tactics used by various left wing groups to muzzle any speech that is in opposition to their beliefs. Our source for our program features Kimberley Strassel who writes "Potomac Watch" for the Wall St Journal and has authored a new book titled, "The Intimidation Game: How the Left is Silencing Free Speech". It will be shocking to most listeners how the left has used the IRS, false claims to secure confidential data, home invasions, mob violence, racism and other tactics to force opposition groups to withdraw from confrontation with them and education of the public.

Our FEATURE today focuses on Apple, Inc which is now the world's largest cap public company at $800 Billion and has built a massive monument to itself which is intended to project an image of its' power and success.   Apple Park located in Cupertino, Ca consists of 2.8 million square feet and is estimated to cost $5 Billion. At their peak of power the pharaohs built the pyramids to project their world dominance, the Caesars built the coliseum and in our time New York built the trade center. Historically circumstances and events occur that change the image and position of power of those governments and companies when public perception views them at their least vulnerable. Paul Mampilly of Profits Unlimited and your host offer a contrarian view.

Our FEATURE today focuses on what The Myth Buster believes is a new phenomenon in America that has prospered under a massive ideological shift in the past eight years. Some refer to it as "corporatism" or "corporate cronyism". That is a too benign of a title for such a powerful and destructive force in our economy. We have termed the marriage of large corporate interests with government as "FASCISM" and support that characterization with events that occurred in Italy in the 1920s and thirties. Listeners will be amazed at how the term fits.

Our FEATURE today discusses a scathing letter written by Dr Thomas E Sawyer, former Chairman of the Board of Voip-Pal.com and technological consultant to four US presidents, to the Hon. David P Ruschke, Chief Judge of the US Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB), detailing at length the inappropriate conflict of interest within the PTAB. Specifically Sawyer cites that since 2012 when the PTAB was formed 84% of all claims of infringement on patents brought by inventors and small tech companies have resulted in the cancellation of those claims to the financial detriment of the claimants. In particular Apple, Inc. has been able to control the PTAB process through judges that worked for Apple,Inc or law firms that previously were retained by Apple, Inc. In short Apple, Inc and other major tech firms have been able to destroy the constitutionally protected property rights  of US citizens, inventors and entrepreneurs. This is an example of one of America's most blatant criminal enterprises. Other topics

Our FEATURE today focuses on the performance of the US economy and more specifically the first quarter ending March 31st. At the beginning of the year a consensus of economists and analysts seemed to agree that GDP growth in Q1 should be in the 3% range. Why did they miss by such a large margin? With consumer sentiment near historical highs and the US financial markets at record highs, why would consumer spending be so "tepid" ? Our research offers some unexpected observations which can be interpolated in projecting results for the remainder of the year. Other topics include: The Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930, the Nasdaq all-time high, Mortgage REITS soar, "Problems in a Gold Rush", the silver squeeze "full pants down day", another Clinton corpse and the Salem witch trials revisited.

WHERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR US INVESTORS? DESCRIPTION: Our FEATURE today is timely especially since the French are voting today to choose amongst 16 candidates who will be their next president.  Preliminary results are in and there will be a run-off in 2 weeks to choose a new leader. The conservative, Marine Le Pen, strongly advocates that France should exit the European Union, initiate economic protectionism and deport Islamic terrorists. Although she is not the favorite to win, a surprise upset would significantly alter the economic and political landscape of Europe and could cause irreparable damage to the New World Order.

Our  FEATURE today focuses on data just released by the US Dept of Commerce for the first quarter of 2017. The statistics are both a surprise and are in contrast with the perception that the US economy was growing at a positive and accelerated rate. For example, retail sales have been negative for the past 2 months, Consumer prices have dropped for 2 months, bank loans have slowed markedly and the GDP is barely positive after initial forecasts of 3% in January. Consumer confidence however is at a 10 year high which presents a total disconnect from the stats which we offer our our conclusions. Other topics include: How will the market react to this data?, Trump's dollar, the gold anomaly, Curtains for global financial regulation, Why Richard Cordray can't be fired at the CFPB, Why Apple is rotten at its' core, Obama's mendacity, California's wasted water, the Noko missile failure, MOAB and Lois Lerner's comeuppance.

Today's FEATURE analyzes two divergent views of the US stock market. One, Steve Sjuggerud of Stansberry Associates forecasts a "melt-up" to 50,000 on the DJIA created principally by a $70 trillion cash hoard. Secondly, One of the Nations most accurate and longest tenured forecasters, James Dines, is calling for a 73% plunge in the value of the same index beginning in 2017. Dines is not a "perma -bear" recommending Apple,Inc $.43/sh in the mid 80's and Amazon at $4.72/sh in 1994. Dines considers this forecast a culmination of a life's work. In January, 2016 he created the Pot Stocks Index which is up 854% since then. When Jim makes a call you should listen.

Our FEATURE today focuses on the multiple organizations that have been formed by the ex-president to undermine the Trump Administration and the rule of law. Listeners should go to barackobama.com,  organizingforaction.org, organizingforamerica.org and others to validate the infrastructure that is already in place to finish the mission to fundamentally change America. The ex-president has used his skills as a community organizer to set up 250 offices throughout the US, enlist 32,000 volunteers and has raised about $40 million through his tax-free 501c4 organization to begin this effort. Coupled with a support system of the media, judges, numerous governors, government agencies, et al Obama has created a praetorian guard that's a government within a government. Chaos and the possibility of civil war could follow. Other topics include: "The Secret Civil War", Stanberry's "melt-up" to Dow 40,000/50,000, the $70 trillion cash hoard, the new high for margin debt, the incredible demand for long-term bonds, "Wha

Today's FEATURE focuses on a recent report by Mark Skousen a PHD in economics and well-known author who maintains that there is a provision in the Tax & Responsibility Act (TEFRA) enacted in 1982 that can tax minimum required distributions from qualified plans at rates as high as 50%. He calls it "the economic bombshell of the century". We haven't been able to confirm the exact circumstances that would create this ostensibly new tax but we should all make an inquiry with our CPAs.

Our FEATURE today is a follow-up to last week's PODCAST which revealed the CIA's ability to access our PCs, smartphones and other devices without our knowledge. Our source is a feature article in the March 12th edition of USA TODAY by Elizabeth Weise where she provides us with 12 tips that we can utilize to protect our privacy and our finances. Weise notes for example that 17% of our population use 123456 as a password which indicates a large number of users aren't making even the most basic step to protect themselves. Hopefully this program will motivate our listeners to get more proactive.

Our FEATURE today focuses on the recent WikiLeaks bomb of thousands of documents revealing how the CIA can hack into our servers, PCs, smartphones, TVs, voice activated devises etc that then act as "bugs" to record our conversations and remit to the CIA. For example you may believe that your TV is turned off but it's in "fake off mode" and can record all your communication. Voice activated devices such as Alexa, Echo and Home are perfect listening devices connecting to the "internet of everything". The CIA is legally prohibited from conducting electronic surveillance but they currently have no oversight. Next week we'll discuss how these efforts to invade our privacy and avoid extortion can be mitigated.

Our FEATURE today focuses on Donald Trump's speech to Congress last Tuesday and what can Americans take away from it. We believe that it's not an overstatement to conclude that the Nation was surprised and encouraged by his presentation given a 75% approval rating.Peggy Noonan, writing in the Wall St Journal this weekend, said that his speech had power because he "normalized" himself and his message was "clear and plain with surprising sweetness and rhetorical warmth". She added, "Mr Trump was finally understood to be President".

Today's FEATURE focuses on the front page headline of the Feb 23rd edition of the Wall St Journal quoted above. The subtitle of this article was "Signaling a possible March move". The Fed meeting is March 14th & 15th. The principal  question we address is, does this event mark the onset of significant economic expansion in the US? Janet Yellin, Chair of the Federal Reserve, told a Senate Panel recently, "Waiting too long to remove accommodation would be unwise potentially requiring the FOMC to eventually raise rates rapidly". Addressing the real estate sector, how will this policy change impact property markets?

Our FEATURE today focuses on the multiple forces that are determined to replace Donald Trump as President of the United States by any means possible. Trump's adversaries are referred to as globalists, elitists, the deep state, the establishment, socialists/communists et al who collectively subscribe to the concept of a one world government or One World Order. Trump's shocking triumph over Hillary Clinton foiled the plan by this group to control America and destroy free enterprise. Jim Rickards conceived the term ICE-9 from Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Cat's Cradle" to the globalists plan to "freeze" the financial system and create a panic amongst  the US population. Other topics are: The conundrum in the oil industry, the truth behind Flynn's resignation, the inflation Jeannine wants out of her bottle, America's lost courage, the Canadian plan to rehabilitate terrorists and California's contribution to its' disasters.

Our FEATURE today focuses on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) which most Americans assume was created to protect them from the evils of capitalistic financial institutions. This perception is a myth which we will debunk. Our source is from Jeb Hensarling who is Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee  who serves as a House member from Texas. His piece in the Wall St Journal titled "How We'll Stop a Federal Rogue Agency" appeared in the Feb 9th edition.He states that the power of this agency is both unconstitutional and tyrannical  and has harmed those it purports to help.
