New Owners
I think Jim Rogers does slightly better with the "let them fail" advice. Jim points out that a failed company will be run by new owners who may do a better job. The company and its assets don't disappear when bankruptcy is declared. A bankrupt company is taken over and reorganized by creditors.
This moderator in London set the stage for the assertion: let them fail and we all fail for years. Peter says just, yes, let them fail. Jim Rogers explains, let better managers purchase and take over the failed enterprises. This gives some hope for a revival (which is more true than the no-hope version).
But this complaint of mine is nit-picky. Peter does a marvelous job.
It's fine that he says it over and over -- about the same in each interview. New people in the audience hear him each time.
Some even wind up coming here to Daily Paul!

liberty yields harmony; tyrany yields chaos
That's not entirely true.
That's not entirely true. Schiff has on numerous occasions mentioned the same thing that the factories won't dissapear and they will be taken over by more competent people. He just didn't happen to mention that in this particular video segment.

Technical problems DO happen.
But isn't it funny how they tend to happen in the government's favor. I remember watching Olberman rant (I don't do that often) and he started to go off about how Clinton was put under oath over a BJ but Bush and Cheney weren't over 9/11. Within a few sentences, CNN was gone until he started talking about something else.

Hello Friends
Hey. Check out my vlog at www.darkdownhere.com It's got hundreds of hours of original and unique content that you are unlikely to find elsewhere. Thanks
Wow, that is a great site
I could spend all day there. Thanks, for sharing.
Why does everybody jump
straight to "They cut him off!" Maybe there was a problem. Why does it even bother you? You'll never know one way or another.
If it's meant to be it's up to WE!
Paranoid.
Why bring him on at all if there was some man behind the curtain who didn't want him to speak? Everyone already knows what he's going to say, as he says the same things in each interview, so they wouldn't have brought him on in the first place.
you might be
you might be surprised!

Why do you assume it was CNN
Why do you assume it was CNN that cut him off?
good grief again...
i CANNOT believe all the people on this thread bashing peter schiff...what the hell is wrong with you people???
he is a DAMN good guy and knows exactly what the hell he is talking about.
if you bash him you obviously just DON"T GET IT!
Ron Paul is My President
Need I also remind those
Need I also remind those bashing Peter Schiff that he was one of Ron Paul's economic advisers during his campaign?
While I am not sure I agree with everything Peter says (his optimism in foreign markets and currencies may be unfounded), he has been very accurate in his predictions so far.
True enough
But the point is that if the foreign currencies collapse, too, then we're in so much hurt there was no way for you to have really preserved your wealth in an effective fashion.
good grief...
"i'm sorry we've lost our guest there...technical problems"
what's the now infamous line from that movie - a few good men:
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
Ron Paul is My President
Maybe the Ron Paul supporters
RonPaulLincoln
should start a "Free Irwin Schiff" campaign. Irwin is Peters father and is featured in "Freedom to Fascism". All he does is state the facts and is imprisoned for his knowledge and truth. Wouldn't Peter and Ron be proud of us!
End the FED
End the IRS
Free America from financial slavery!
Now why is it that
we are not throwing his name in the pot for President or vp???? And Napolitano, why isn't his name front and center. I know people want him in the courts, but first things first.
Maybe we should be looking at a Napolitano/Schiff ticket if Dr. Paul isn't available.
As I recall, Peter said he didn't feel
that he was electable due to his family history (Dad and the tax bit) but he would love to serve (maybe Treasury Secretary) helping to put the country back on a solid footing. I hope to see him in Government one day.
Did his dad actually do something wrong?
I figured his dad is a hero he should be proud of, but I haven't followed the story.
He challenged the IRS.
He challenged the IRS. Depends on your definition of wrong.
Yes, yes, yes
yes, yes, yes my thoughts as well. This I could get behind, we need these two front and center.
And her comment was...
"I'm sorry we lost him". I'm sorry the party leadership in this country is not sitting down and talking with Peter every day to understand how they need to let the government stand down on these insane bailouts and stimuli that they keep borrowing from other countries, (and printing dollars) to dole out on our soil and prolong the pain and suffering here at home.
Peter lives here in the good ole USA
"As Americans, we do not swear an oath to protect the government or even the nation, but rather to protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic" Peter Schiff Crash Proof
and also from his book
"Over the next 10 years the dollar is going to depreciate against other currencies, by what degree they're not sure. But it is widely believed that, despite occasional hiccups, the dollar will continue is 40 year decline. With our lack of savings and current account deficits, it has to......"
I don't know if he will turn out to be correct on all accounts in the end, but his basic philosophy is that the country will need putting back together again when this is over. Investing abroad to protect oneself and family from dollar rot is the proper path to preserve wealth which will make it possible for as many who will listen to financially survive this hurricane. Funds can be repatriated at tat time so the rebuilding can commence.
In reading his book I never had the sense he was anti-American, far from it. He is a Libertarian, an Austrian Economist, amazingly prescient and a Patriot who wishes to see America thrive once again.

Thanks You Susan....BUMP
Ugh
what's with the horrible accent? I can barely understand that woman is this the BBC?
Look at the labels and maps under the images.
This is the international version of CNN. Notice that the interviewer is in London.
Peter lives here-let me say it again
And that did look like a technical problem, not Peter being cut off.
We get made fun of alot for being conspiracy theorists
This kind of post is why. Let's not speculate until there is more evidence. Peter said what he had to say, got his point out and then a technical problem occured. Until we can say otherwise with credible evidence let's refreain from going bat-poo about every percieved slight.

Chill out.
It seems those with REAL PRINCIPLE get bashed on this forum.
Peter Schiff is a hero of the Libertarian movement.
He is right on 90% +++ economic issues.
Peter Schiff is PRO-AMERICA all the way... and is honest enough to tell us what's wrong with this country, and how we can fix it.
He is simply warning people that we have long been headed down the wrong path.
Ron Paul for Peace!
Was he cut off or was it a technical problem?
What I am very interested in is some opinion of a video/tv engineer. I saw this clip in Europe a week ago, and the "lost connection effect" that I recall seeing over there was a different one, more with horizontal lines rather then diagonal. It totally doesn't make sense in the digital age to have this effect that reminds me of televisions in the '80's getting bad signal. You would expect the image of Peter to freeze or so.
Anyway: this might have been a loss of connection, but the timing makes me wonder. The CNN anchor lady just made her supposedly strongest pro-government / pro-banks move (throw away hand gesture while ridiculing the concept of the invisible hand), and Peter was about to counter it completely.
Just wondering if some editor actually has a big red panic button for situations like this :-)
Wouldn't You Know It
I just wrote a long piece to expand on your thoughts, I press "Post Comment" and lo and behold, my wireless internet connection cuts out, sending my post into the Web's equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle.
I guess these things happen sometimes?? :-) Can't be bothered to rewrite my post now (bedtime).
With this interview though, I think the plug was pulled. If you go back two weeks and search for a Peter Schiff interview on the CNN Campbell Brown show, you'll find that Peter's signal was cut then too, albeit just for a few seconds. It's like someone just can't take what he's saying any longer and hits a button.
P.S. Note To Self
Next time, compose post on word processor first and then copy and paste it into this website :-)
What a fu()$ng coward. He lives overseas along with the punkas#
bowtie guy and continues to bash America. True Patriots stand and fight inside the country. They don't run and make money and then bash the country where they made the money to begin with. God be with them in their new land, but a true patriot stands and fights and doesn't run. Go ahead and write what you may, but in the olden days these guys would be considered cowards and hung on site. I am sick of our government bailing out loser banks who have held us hostage and suck us dry, but I am just as sick of people like Shiff who bash our ass from afar! STAND UP and DO SOMETHING
You've been a member
for 46 weeks and you don't know any more than this? Where have you been?
He's not bashing US, he's bashing the idiots that are sending this country into bankruptcy.
Read up on Peter Schiff.
Schiff does none of what you
Schiff does none of what you say he does! Schiff does not bash anyone but the governemnt and the fed! and he is right! there is a difference between the federal governement and the the "country"! I hope people are seeing this. the "enemy" is the federal government!

Jim Rogers lives overseas
Peter lives here...
Way to go, man with 4 kids and Mike!
Yeah you libertarians, don't you get it?
Senators, bankers, and friends make bad decisions sometimes, they may lie to the public, use the constitution as toilet paper but they live in the USA and voted for the patriot act so we all have to support them as they are true patriots! If we all just stand and fight for our country, work harder, pay more tax to them and shut up it's going to be fine! It worked like that in Russia too you know! We should be like that horse in Animal Farm: "I will work harder".
Peter Schiff may tell the truth, yeah, but he does not live in the USA and he is not for the patriot act so he not a true patriot so we have to bash him!
Just for the Ron Paul fans who don't get it yet :-)
You must have read some comments on youtube
, some person raving on just like you. Obviously not aware of Peter Schiff, what he stands for, and I'd suggest you do some research before you stand firm with your opinion on this one.
He lives in america- what's
He lives in america- what's all this nonsense that he lives overseas? It even says connecticut right there in the video!!
Do you know who peter schiff's father is? He fought for Americans so that they didn't have to live with an income tax and they jailed him. Why are you angry that he bashes the american government? Why do we owe anything to the american government? I nor anyone else owes them anything. If he wants to leave the country that's his right- I mean what else do you expect people to do against something that's backed by the most powerful military in the world?
Schiff has already done much more in spreading the message of what the government is up to and the problems they will cause than you have I'm sure.
And if in the olden days people like him would be hung on site...then that means the olden days weren't that good now were they? A true patriot hangs people who disagrees with him? That's a fine way to live your life.
Peter Schiff doesn't care about America
He's all about making money. He's one of the ones who called the current crisis but he's still a parasite.
I trade
Gold & Silver and like/need to make paper/ fake money at this point in time. The/WE The People ARE AWAKENING to What Is Real & What Isnot. No Parasite Here! Just helps with my income & helps to care for my family, Gold & Silver ARE of Intrinsic value and IS True Money. Please, Don't Ever Forget This 2000 yr old verifiable....FACT that Gold & Silver IS REAL Money.
you do not have a
you do not have a clue!

About parasites
A parasite that only does business with you if you agree too it... is not a parasite, Mike.
How is he a parasite? He
How is he a parasite? He doesn't steal from people like the government does. How are you less of a parasite? What makes you special? What have you done for people in this country?
don't get all fighty---I think people who make money trading
money as a primary occupation are parasites. just my opinion. I work very hard for my living and I don't need to explain my past and present poltical work to you. I guarantee I've got him beat on a whole lot of issues.
Again...in what way are they
Again...in what way are they parasites? Some people who work hard for their money don't want to risk it being in the United States and losing it all- so he provides a service to help them keep their wealth. How is this parasitic? Would you be happier if he did it for free?
I'm not getting fighty I'm just having trouble understanding this kind of mentality. Whatever you're doing when you work is fine- but why is he a parasite and you are not? And what's the point of implying that you think you are a better person than him?
First of all, I implied nothing. A parasite is not necessarily
bad. it just is. To use a Schiff example, he's an eater. He profits from fluctuations in markets and skims the cream. There's nothing morally reprehensible about it, it is just parasitic by nature.
I like listening to him and I think he's a brilliant guy. But I stand by my original statement. He didn't decide to start a service because he hadn't tried it himself and made a ton of money. Maybe the growth of cream-skimmers contributed to the collapse, who knows.
so the company that invests
so the company that invests your money in your 401k or ira are parasites too! so indirectly you to are a parasite! for you also make money (until a year ago) on your retirement account correct? in the same market that Schiff does right? so you are very hypocritic are you not?

There is nothing "parasitic"
There is nothing "parasitic" about the way europacific profits.(lol I almost sound like a spokesperson) Whatever you're trying to get at- parasite is the wrong word- and complaining about these people is simply going after the wrong guys. All he does is buy foreign stocks and commodities for people so they can earn dividend income and/or save the value of their wealth from eroding.
A parasite IS necessarily bad because a parasite is harmful to others. Who is peter schiff harming? He's not harming the american economy- the government is. If he gives wrong advice and harms his clients- then he will suffer losses as people leave europac and his own investments collapse. There is no harm in a voluntary agreement like this.
wow
I couldn't have stated that any clearer. Thanks
Parasitic Thought
One of my older and well respected friends was in the middle of a statewide controversy about whether to legalize gambling in our state a few years back. She educated me that when money goes to the casino, it is taken away from the community. That money is no longer available in the community to be used in stores to purchase goods for families. Like somebody says ... the cream is skimmed off the top. Well, so much about our financial system is simply doing the same thing. You have the common people of America who truly work for their living, perhaps and perhaps not making a decent living wage. Then you have the fat cats who skim the serious money off the top ....... ala money traders, bankers, wall street less-than-ethical-folks, etc. Now INVESTING in a company, that's a different thing. But trading and our whole financial system has simply resulted in working people just pretty much able to live, not really get ahead. Guess what ... people lose the incentive to be business people, to work hard .... if you can't get ahead, why not just get a handout like the rest of the deadbeats. I make a good wage, but by the time the deductions etc get taken out (plus a manditory 8% toward a retirement program that now is bankrupted!), I come home with 50% of what I made. And that doesn't count the state sales and property taxes, vehicle taxes, gas taxes, etc. etc. And then you see on CSPAN the 5 Hedge Fund Managers who all made over 1 billion last year. Something's wrong with the picture, here. Yes, they're parasites, THE reason our country is in the shape it's in, and THE reason we're losing our country.
