"... a compendium of information on business, finance, economics and social and political issues worldwide. In its present form it has been published since 1991. Prior to that it was published as the Gary Allen Report between 1978 and 1990. Robert Chapman has been writing in the same vein since 1967. He spent 28 years in the stock brokerage business. For 18 of those years he owned his own firm. He was one of the biggest precious metals stockbrokers over those years. The publication has had a number of very successful recommendations over the past ten years, particularly in interest rates and their market effect, currency recommendation, commodity picks and views on market direction. This is a sophisticated publication written in a simple and concise manner. Mr. Chapman does a tremendous amount of research each month in several languages. This is not a highlights publication. It goes into subjects in depth utilizing and weaving finance and economics with the realities of social and political issues bringing about a synthesis, which hopefully determines the direction of different markets. If you are a reader you won't be bored. This publication pulls no punches."

OMG! I read a couple of the other "Train Wreck of the Week" articles & if this stuff is really going on, things are much worse than even I thought they were!
From the 1/22 column:
Our police state marches on. In Truro, Maine, state troopers were stopping motorists and getting DNA samples. Authorities said they would be compelled to look at those who refused to give a sample.
Fed up with the judicial system a Jackson County, Alabama man put a sign on his front lawn, which said, “Our court system is a joke.” He was thrown in jail. What happened to free speech?
In Fairfax County, Virginia, police are going directly into bars and restaurants to make arrests. The police and some locals think they are a modern day Gestapo.
In Huston, parents of students who habitually fail to complete their homework and miss a mandatory after school program are being summoned to court and issued tickets for $185.00 fines, Police often break into the wrong apartment or house in possible drug busts. They terrorize the people, find nothing and sometimes apologize when they leave. Who pays for the door they just kicked in? A deputy used pepper spray on a 12-year-old girl and wrestled her to the ground when she ignored repeated orders to stop jaywalking.
The city of Portland, Oregon has agreed to pay $145,000 to an elderly blind woman after police pepper sprayed and shocked her with a stun gun. To kick the crap out of old folks is a bit too much in the name of law enforcement. In St. Paul, MN, an 85-year-old man was pepper sprayed during a traffic stop. He was also beaten for taking too long to stop his car.
The incidents go on and on. We have more than 100, but you get the idea. Ninety-five percent of police officers are the best. We only hear about the meatheads. We do believe though that many policemen and women have become much more aggressive since the Patriot Acts and we believe it will get much worse in the future.

And check out these numbers, especially those booshes!
Just as we suspected, George W. Bush is a half-wit. On 8/2/04, the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pa. released the results of a four-month study into the intelligence quotient (IQ) of President George W. Bush. The IQ is used to measure a person’s capacity for learning. Since 1973, the Institute has been rating the mental capacities of presidents and here are the results. FDR 147; Harry Truman 132; Dwight Eisenhower 122; John F. Kennedy 174; Lyndon Johnson 126; Richard Nixon 155; Gerald Ford 121; Jimmy Carter 175; Ronald Reagan 105; George H.W. Bush 98; Bill Clinton 182 and George W. Bush 91. Over fifty years the average IQ was 115. George W. Bush is dumb. Incidentally, the average American Caucasian’s IQ is 118.
