Green Policy is Deadlier Than Guns

Every year around this time, a silent killer sneaks its way onto European shores and slaughters people by the tens of thousands. Last year, it killed more people in just three months than the number of civilians killed in the war in Ukraine all year. It killed three times as many people as

US Treasury pays 3.7%, violates every AML regulation on the books

Opening a bank account in the Land of the Free today feels like applying for a top secret security clearance. Banks often require multiple forms of ID, proof of address, proof of employment, plus detailed explanations of where your money came from, what you plan to do with it, and who you plan

The BBC wants to Make the Taliban Great Again

This week the British Broadcasting Corporation flew halfway around the world to find a sad story that it could blame on (1) America and (2) climate change. Their drama opens in Afghanistan’s Ghor province, where fathers line up before dawn at a dusty square hoping to find a day’s work. One man weeps

This booming Mexican city is an oasis for super productive people

[Editor’s note: This letter was written by Schiff Sovereign’s CEO, Viktorija, who is originally from Lithuania but lives in Mexico.] I’ve landed in a lot of cities. Most of them take a day or two before they show you who they really are. Monterrey, Mexico showed me in about fifteen minutes– on the

How to lose billions of dollars: trust the US government

America was at the top of the world in 1955. World War II had been over for ten years. Soldiers had come home to GI Bill mortgages in brand-new suburbs. Detroit was building cars faster than anywhere else on the planet. And the economy was booming— in fact that year a milkshake-machine salesman

The decade that made secession seem normal

Almost ten years ago to the day, I woke up in my hotel room in Bangkok and flipped on the TV; it was late, late in the evening in the UK, and the BBC News was broadcasting live coverage of the Brexit vote. As the results slowly trickled in and it became clear

Inspired Idiot of the Week: California’s Professor “So be it”

Emmanuel Saez is an expert. A PhD economist from UC Berkeley, Saez has devoted his entire career to diligent research in a complex and dynamic field. He has numerous publications and citations under his belt, and his “h-index” (which tracks research productivity) is off the charts. So when Saez came out in support

Treasury Yields Are Back at 1998 Levels. America Is Not.

The year was 1998. Titanic was still pulling people into theaters. Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were chasing Roger Maris’s home run record.

Trust the Science, Says the Guy Deleting Emails

In April 1953, CIA Director Allen Dulles tasked a chemist named Sidney Gottlieb with finding out whether the United States could do what the Soviets were rumored to have figured out: control human minds with drugs. His methods were absolutely insane; Gottlieb set up a brothel in San Francisco where CIA-paid prostitutes dosed

Another crushing blow to the ‘Spirit’ of America

The US presidential election of 1912 almost sounds like the setup to a joke. Two Republicans, a Democrat, and a Socialist walk into a bar… But it’s true: William Howard Taft and Teddy Roosevelt split the Republican vote (with Roosevelt starting his own “Bull Moose” ticket). Woodrow Wilson was on the Democratic side.

It’s All Fake

Fake net worth. Fake bestseller. Fake racial crisis. Three stories caught our attention this week which show just how much of politics is pure manipulation. Representative Ilhan Omar quietly amended her 2025 financial disclosure last week, revising her household assets from a range of $6 to $30 million, down to a range of

Why Central Banks Are STILL Dumping Dollars for Gold

In late February 2022, days after Russia invaded Ukraine, the United States responded by freezing billions of dollars of assets owned by the Russian government. Whether or not that action was justified is beyond the point. US government bonds had long been considered the safest asset on earth. But every central banker on

This mining company was so undervalued we bought it twice

10x in just nine months. That’s how much money our readers made on a precious metals mining company that we first featured in our investment newsletter Strategic Assets back in April 2025. At the time, the company’s stock was trading at a low, single-digit price/earnings multiple. We knew the precious metals boom wasn’t

Argentina got this warning before its collapse. America just got it last week.

In early December 2001, ‘normal’ life very suddenly ceased to exist in Argentina— anything that remotely resembled a functional society came to an abrupt end. And that is by no means an exaggeration. The banking system collapsed. Financial transactions ground to a halt. Desperate people looted supermarkets for food, and then grocery shelves emptied.
