It's the first week of fall in the northern hemisphere.  And the first week of spring down south.  And, here in Acapulco, it's just the same as every other day of the year, 90F and sunny with a light breeze coming off the bay.  Here the terms "summer" or "spring" aren't even known.  But, in most parts of the world, the weather is a changin'.  In the north, summer is gone, the leaves are changing, but are the times? Judging by your feedback, they are not, and if they are, they are changing for the worse. At least the MSM can keep the sheeple distracted with Justin Bieber, iPhone 5s, and the fall TV season. But, dear TDV reader, you know where to come for all your needs in the quest for a life of true liberty.

Bob Dylan’s iconic, “The Times They Are A Changin’” starts off with the following lyrics:

Come gather 'round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone

Nothing could better symbolize the monetary state of affairs going on in the world today. We will all soon be drenched to the bone.

Two of the 20th century’s most prescient secular writers were George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, both of whom analyzed certain aspects of our current occult scientific dictatorship. Orwell was a confused radical who criticized fascism and communism and Huxley was an elitist whose own brother was a major player in the eugenicist machine.

Hello from Bocas del Toro, Panama!

We are just wrapping up a great and eventful conference here in Bocas.  Last week we were talking with Doug Casey and he mentioned that because the conference is in Panama, where the US Government has a decent size foothold, to expect "at least one or two spooks" in the audience.

I didn't think much of it, but as I arrived on the first night I had an experience that was certainly unusual and slightly circumspect.  You tell me what you think of this.
