This Thursday, October 29, 2009, marks the release of a new book I highly recommend.
If you have woken up to the feeling that something is terribly
wrong with our economy, especially your economy. The main stream media
is daily rushing to assure you that the
worst is over and your life is getting better. If you want to
know what is really happening to your savings, your earnings, your
pensions
and your country then don't walk, RUSH out and buy the new book,
The Dollar Meltdown! Written
in easily understood prose, author and radio talk show host
Charles
Goyette presents his case on what is happening to the U.S. dollar, why it is happening,
who is responsible and most importantly how you can survive it.
Charles Goyette brings three things to the table to devastate
politicians and so called "bankers." First his wonderful
organizational and communication skills that have served him well as
both an orator and a writer. Second, his fantastic memory that pulls
together decades of reports on governmental and corporate theft that has built up
into the mess we inevitably will be forced to now live through.
Third, his lifelong honest pursuit of the facts and at personal cost his willingness to
stand against the lying politicians and corporate heads who only want
to mislead people away from the truth of their looting.
He has worked in most aspects of radio since he was in his teens.
He has been both suppressed and fired for opposing the unprovoked
invasion of a nation. He has exposed the lies of the press and
the political elite. He has done this with a polite demeanor that
has always allowed other opinions or dissent to voice their thoughts
and statements on his shows. And he has followed economics
throughout his life.
In his new book he makes it indisputably clear that there is no
mathematically possible way the U.S. dollar is going to survive the
massive debt that is exponentially building upon every man, woman and
child -- including many generations yet born -- even if there was
the political will to try to rein in the government debts. He instead
explains why it is in the interests of the political rulers to
keep up the staggering accumulation of debt and for them to actually look forward
to the eventual massive inflation and debasement of the currency
that is accelerating.
He explains why some people have set out to deliberately destroy the
U.S. dollar in order to get rich. He names names and
institutions, peppered with examples. In the end, like prosecutor, he has made a case that the U.S. economy has been stolen by
a few who rule or buy the ones who rule.
But thankfully he doesn't stop there. If you can't stop something
bad from occurring, then you must survive it. And here Mr.
Goyette lays out his ideas in over a third of the book on how to
survive "The Dollar Meltdown." And understand, he is not
predicting another disastrous few years of inflation and recession like
the Jimmy Carter years...he is making the case for hyperinflation as bad as it
gets. Perhaps Zimbabwe bad. He is talking unemployment as
bad as it gets. He is talking lack of material goods as bad as it
gets assuming you could afford them in the first place. His honest answers on how to
protect yourself and your family, and perhaps counsel your friends and
neighbors are the most valuable thing about the book.
Yes, it is good to know whom to hang, but it doesn't do much good if you
don't survive. This is the one must get book of the year.
It is an easy read and it will get you angry. The dollar is soon
done for---find out why and how to survive it's collapse.
My criticism are, I am old and the type is small. There are no
references which I consider inexcusable, though there is no doubt that
would have added quite a few pages to the book's length.
There really should have been a brief biography on Charles in the opening
prologue...it is confusing to immediately step into a historic
conversation between Charles and a guest caller from a past show at the
beginning of the book.
