YES, i think you should be in Senate, we need people who know how things work around and how to act, not those know how to talk, i don't know what politic is anyway. I think that if there should be a World War 3 without getting us involved....well, we were and are one of the top of weapon manufacture all over the world, and the profit is like 1/4 of profit from selling diamond....ha, just a joke, but that would show how desperate we totally are.
The media depicts Americans as greedy gamblers on the stock market. The media tells consumers to BUY BUY BUY!!! How can they buy when they have no jobs??? Our media is just a tool to get people to buy things even though they are in debt. That way all the rich can make money from Wall Street while the rest of us get deeper in debt. Don't buy into that. If you have little or no money you don't have to buy.
Politics doesn't work, you can't join the state and turn it into a sensible organization, all it does is destroy.
Sure you can enlighten a lot of people by running for senate but I think you can enlighten way more by going about this the way you've been doing so far.
That way you don't have to deal with nonsense from politicians and you can focus on the real economic issues.
The short sales are HOT this week on SIRI Sirius XM Radio Inc. has two principal wholly owned subsidiaries, XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. and Satellite CD Radio Inc.
I thought short selling a stock drove the price down? Lots of people are doing it! It must be profitable! SIRI
I'v read one of your books, but I think as long you say:"the dollar will fall because the policies WE are pursuing", the bottom is not in. Bernanke/Obama listens to you and only hears:WE. He will think "my budy Peter is on my side". Only as you start saying:"because of the policies THEY are pursuing", the government will slow down. It will not stop until the word policies is replaced by crimes. "the policies we are pursuing" => "the crimes they are committing". That will stop the machine of evil
Where is all the money that's supposed to create this inflation warned of here. People have less money than ever before and less credit. Where is this cash supposed to be dumped out of the sky to the street below? Yes then the inflation game begin. But it's not being circulated into the economy so no worry. This is fear mongering. So then since you don't see inflation nor will w/out more cash in your hands. Ask yourself why is PS scaring you into inflation theory? It's just not hyperinflating

We the people congress could sure use you. Each State will be voting for 3 delegates that will meet in Philadelphia later this year. It will be broadcast ed all over the world via the internet. Its our chance to peacefully restore Our Republic.
Which is it. The stock market is rallying because of fear of the dollar or inflation? How are the people getting the money to cause inflation? Through wages and credit?
but we can't produce because we can't compete with foreigners. This is why the fed intervened to begin with. Materialistic Americans have to live like kings and queens but soon they will be living in third world squalor.
Peter don't let your fans push you in to the Senate if you don't think politics is the game for you. Federal offices are mostly for scum bags, with the incredibly rare of exception of people like Paul who are only aiming to educate.
Please take Dodd's seat in the Senate; then run for President or VP with Ron Paul. By 2012 America will be ready for what you two have both been saying. We will have a massive rebuilding job ahead. Most members of Congress have to go!
Peter Schiff needs to run for Senate so we have one other person who speaks the truth besides Ron Paul! Hyperinflation will soon destroy the U.S. and we need to prepare now! Read the artiicles and signup for the free newsletter at: Inflation . us
this is my first time seeing a fund manager talking about the economy on such a regular basis, either he's exploiting the panic and hence trying to get more clients, or the economy is in a really bad shape and he wants to save more people's lives. I tend to believe the latter. Peter, dont let us down!!!
The current S&P PE ratio is a whopping 57! Stocks are not just overbought; they are very much OVERVALUED. The Dividend yield on the S&P is only 2.8. Combine this with a dying US dollar, foreign countries backing away from US Treasuries, a full-on collpase of the residential and commercial real estate market, a U6 unemployment rate above 15% and the end game is clear.
Ron Paul didn't win the nomination, but his candidacy spawned a movement.
The freedom message needs to be propagated and there is no one more articulate than Peter Schiff. Win or lose, Schiff 2010 can only bring good. Run Peter Run!
Thank you for your common sense. I do not believe the census workers is a good idea either...this is so important.

You know it will take a lot out your personal and business life, hopefully you find you have the time and commitment to run for office. We are outnumbered big time by the crooks in Washington. We need a few good guys there to help change this country.
i say dont go, cuz the way he speaks he will create many enemies, and if he go politics, his life might be in danger. In addition, we need him to continue to tell people how to invest!
you cant get rid of the mafia by joining them(that very thing creates profit incentives to strengthen the power of mafia). you have to show how pathetic and pointless and meaningless they are so people stop supporting them
If you rely solely upon persuading all the people to simply refuse to cooperate in any way with the people with the guns, I assure you, your cause is doomed. It might have worked for Gandhi, who preached a doctrine of self sacrifice. But for those who preach a doctrine of self reliance, you will not convince the people to lay down before tanks. Both the hearts of the people and the center of government must move toward freedom, or there shall never be any movement.
I expect he would probably run as the Republican candidate. The Republican party needs to get back to it's fundamentals, that of free market advocacy as opposed to the current neocon fascism. Third party candidates can go nowhere due to the way the Democrats and Republicans have colluded to gain a strangle hold on the political system. The only way right now to actually win, is to win within one of the two parties. That, and then defeat the party itself, from within.
Peter, if you would decide not to run, why not your brother (Andrew?) for senator? He can run on your name recognition and with your support. If you do run, you will be a very formidable competitor. With the GOP polling at only 21%, they must welcome an outsider/independent who is well known and has an excellent reputation and honest and smart guy. The GOP senators need smart economists, e.g not more lawyers as Murray Sabrin also heard last year.
I'd love to believe otherwise, but he'd face extremely longshot odds were he to choose to run. Sorry, but Connecticut is a very middle of the road (which isn't necessarily a good thing) state.
That's not a reason not to run. To force Dodd to have to answer to Peter Schiff for the duration of a campaign would serve the dual function of gaining massively more exposure to both Dodd's errors and Schiff's Austrian perspective. Plus it might even educate Dodd a bit. It would be fantastic if Peter Schiff would actually win the race, but him simply running in the race, would still be a win.
He'd have to get past the GOP primary as well. Remember this is a state whose GOP leadership threw their own candidate under the bus when Lieberman ran as an Independent after losing to Lamont in the primary. The last GOP Congressman, Shays, was a nice guy but he would have been a centrist Democrat is other parts of the country. I'd like to see him run too, but I don't see him making it past the primary. Connecticut has a closed primary system as well, so that hurts his chances as well.
if you want to go for microsecession, it would not work well without some politicians taking the initiative and the state or area must be strong enough to make it a viable country. Schiff can have a strong influence in senate, based on his reputation and take a leading role.
We need to fill Congress to the rafters with good people. Someone like you who is so intelligent, articulate, and convincing...those are qualities we need on our side at a time like this.
The only thing is, though, the GOVERNMENT is curtailing our ability to do useful things. One way or another, we have to DEAL WITH THE GOVERNMENT. How so? What do you advocate? By saying don't even try to change things peacefully, you must be advocating a bloodry revolution.
I understand your perspective, but the same perspective would also have you request Ron Paul not to run, as that too is a waste of his talent. Yet Ron Paul running has been the single biggest aid to the spreading of the message of Austrian economics in history. Peter Schiff's run would build on that and help push it even further, win or loose.
well if he gets elected as a senator, he would not exactly have a gov. position, being from the opposition party, unless then Obama admin would then want to select him as treasury secretary, which is unlikely. If Paul or Johnson is the GOP candidate in 2012, he can play a very productive role in the administration.
he cannot talk partypolitics on TV and it is not exactly a good idea to spill your whole campaign strategy beans in front of all, including your competitors. He is already newsworthy with all his predictions that came true. There are two youtube videos on that...in a certain sense he can simply spread that to ALL in the state and he could win in theory on that alone. He is a good debater.
Run and make a website where grassroots organize everything, raising and spending money themselves. Create a completely transparent microcosm of a capitalist system that uses the Internet to the fullest extent possible. Pretend your campaign is the government, the way it's supposed to be run. Invite your opponents to debate you online any time via youtube. Do not participate in the old media any more then to invite your supporters and potential supporters to engage you directly online.
I really hope Peter runs! Besides Peter the only other people I trust are Ron Paul and VisionVictory. I also suggest reading the articles and signing up for the free newsletter at: Inflation . us
What Schiff said about Zandi is dead on. Zandi is a media darling (which is to say he's a absolute charlatan), and he's beyond doubt one of the most ignorant individuals ever holding himself out to the public as an "economist".
Please Run!! We need more people like you in office. We have Ron in the house and that's about it! I will do anything I can to get more Austrian Economists in office. You can't scapegoat microeconomics....they try and try...but they only prolong and arbitrate the way the market corrects itself.....I know I am preaching to the choir here!!! The market force here is, you guys are in high-demand.. My profession is IT and I can get a lot done for little! I volunteer to help you and our cause!
Given that Senator Dodd is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee; given that he is the number one recipient in Congress of campaign funds from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and that 'therefor' he denied 'rumors' these firms were in financial crisis; Dodd is effectively the single individual in the US government MOST responsible for the current crisis. And no one is better suited to bringing this villain down than Peter Schiff running against him.
Come on man!!!1 you damn well know that even if you do get into the senete you're not gonna be able to change a damn fucken thing because of these other corrupt and fucked up politicians
He will not, all on his own, change the direction of government. That would not be is job. Rather he can influence minds, educate, and gradually steer those who are in power in a healthier direction. Ron Paul has had significant influence that way. Peter Schiff in the Senate would double the voice of Freedom.
That said, an Austrian, kicking the head of the Senate Banking Committee out of Washington, would be a pretty major coup in and of itself!
that's NOT ENUFF....there has to be somebody BIG in order to make ANY KIND of an Impact...to connect with the dumbshits....sure the schiff made some impact on some here, but there's STILL shitload of fucking assclowns that dont know/dont give a shit about what's happening and only care about their gayshit american idol !!!
No, it is not enough. Ron Paul was not enough either, but you likely would not have even heard of the Austrian perspective if it weren't for Ron Paul. Peter Schiff and Rand Paul will not be enough either, but even more people will be influenced by their voices. Then others will join them in Congress and the Senate, and the momentum builds. Someday it will be enough, as long as people such as Peter Schiff are willing to step up to the fight.
some of you morons here are just incredible by giving thumbs down to what i just said, you're just like those fuckfaces on fox news riduculing schiff 3 years ago
you give every libeterian a bad name and now you're acting like barack obama cause you dont have a fucking clue how things work in government ! ! !
Peter Schiff should run for senate. His campaign strategy should be to provide us with tools to run a campaign. We need web tools that make grass roots money spending transparent. Make it easy for grass roots to organize projects that involve money. Forget raising money for yourself. Focus on making it easy for third parties to raise and spend money. If you do it right it will turn into a business in itself, and spur a political and economic revolution. That's what I think anyway.
Thanks for your excellent commentary. It must be a difficult decision, but if you do decide to run, you will be a very strong candidate against Dodd and can attack him on his strengths and weaknesses on the issues. The GOP would also desperately need someone in finance with name recognition plus you would be picking up a crucial senate seat for the party. In case you decide not to run, why doesn't your brother (Andrew?) consider?
Good, I think money is not the problem, he would need a lot of volunteers to work very hard and from door to door, also good people and a very good campaign manger etc.
Peter, you have my support and you will have a check for $100 in the mail when you announce you are running and the same goes for Rand Paul. You are both patriots that the American people need to represent them. We the people need you!
its funny how peter licks his lips at the end of every video. also, IF both rand paul AND peter schiff are elected into the senate, the influence of the population may finally dramatically and positively effect the course of this shitty government.
It would be nice if there were two Peter Schiffs: one in the Senate and one to keep doing what he does here. We could definitely use him in our Senate. As a Republican, he would take a seat back from the (D)'s and culturally, that would send a huge message about what kind of candidate Americans want now. He does a lot of good outside govt. too and that is important. Govt. doesn't change the country, people change the govt. We need educated people and that's what he does right now.
Schiff, if you do read your comments. alot of great leaders become great leaders because the people want them there,(george washington) and the leaders never really thought much of it. i think schiff would be awesome sauce for senate
I think "SchiffReport" is the original and "TheSchiffReport" is fake. The reason is that if you go to their pages you can see in the top left corner when it was created or "joined" as it says.
Peter Schiff is awesome he is the man! This sucker's rally won't last and gold will soon go through the roof. Hyperinflation will destroy the US dollar and we need to prepare now. Read the articles and signup for the free newsletter at: Inflation . us
I would normally be against it, but this may be the time to do it for the country. We need patriots to stand up everywhere before there is no country left.
Angel Peter.. .good speech. Yeah Senate seems to be a time consuming thing. Hope he makes the right decision. Swedish Krona got from 7.91 to 7.64 today. biggest drop for some time
Peter Schiff as far as 'we' are concerned will very likely continue to do as he is doing. What we want Peter Schiff to continue doing is be in the media's eye, to make his video blogs and keep doing his radio program. He could still do most of that, if not all of it, if he ran for Senate, win or loose. Indeed his running for Senate would put him even more in the media's eye, furthering the reach of his message.
Most people are clueless. The Govt/Fed are trying to pump the market to build confidence. They want to suck more money out of Americans and turn us into a welfare country.

PLEASE AVOID POLITICS. THE government is so wasteful. It is a waste of your talent to run for a useless government position.

The only thing is, though, the GOVERNMENT is curtailing our ability to do useful things. One way or another, we have to DEAL WITH THE GOVERNMENT. How so? What do you advocate? By saying don't even try to change things peacefully, you must be advocating a bloodry revolution.
libertyeconomics 2 years ago
I understand your perspective, but the same perspective would also have you request Ron Paul not to run, as that too is a waste of his talent. Yet Ron Paul running has been the single biggest aid to the spreading of the message of Austrian economics in history. Peter Schiff's run would build on that and help push it even further, win or loose.

well if he gets elected as a senator, he would not exactly have a gov. position, being from the opposition party, unless then Obama admin would then want to select him as treasury secretary, which is unlikely. If Paul or Johnson is the GOP candidate in 2012, he can play a very productive role in the administration.

When you go on television, talk campaign strategy, let that set you apart, let that make you newsworthy.
theantirobot 2 years ago 2
he cannot talk partypolitics on TV and it is not exactly a good idea to spill your whole campaign strategy beans in front of all, including your competitors. He is already newsworthy with all his predictions that came true. There are two youtube videos on that...in a certain sense he can simply spread that to ALL in the state and he could win in theory on that alone. He is a good debater.

Run and make a website where grassroots organize everything, raising and spending money themselves. Create a completely transparent microcosm of a capitalist system that uses the Internet to the fullest extent possible. Pretend your campaign is the government, the way it's supposed to be run. Invite your opponents to debate you online any time via youtube. Do not participate in the old media any more then to invite your supporters and potential supporters to engage you directly online.

I really hope Peter runs! Besides Peter the only other people I trust are Ron Paul and VisionVictory. I also suggest reading the articles and signing up for the free newsletter at: Inflation . us

What Schiff said about Zandi is dead on. Zandi is a media darling (which is to say he's a absolute charlatan), and he's beyond doubt one of the most ignorant individuals ever holding himself out to the public as an "economist".
banquo60615 2 years ago
Please Run!! We need more people like you in office. We have Ron in the house and that's about it! I will do anything I can to get more Austrian Economists in office. You can't scapegoat microeconomics....they try and try...but they only prolong and arbitrate the way the market corrects itself.....I know I am preaching to the choir here!!! The market force here is, you guys are in high-demand.. My profession is IT and I can get a lot done for little! I volunteer to help you and our cause!

Preach on Peter! You are spot on. Of course, I am also of the Austrian school of thought. I wish we were wrong....but I highly doubt it....

Given that Senator Dodd is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee; given that he is the number one recipient in Congress of campaign funds from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and that 'therefor' he denied 'rumors' these firms were in financial crisis; Dodd is effectively the single individual in the US government MOST responsible for the current crisis. And no one is better suited to bringing this villain down than Peter Schiff running against him.

He will not, all on his own, change the direction of government. That would not be is job. Rather he can influence minds, educate, and gradually steer those who are in power in a healthier direction. Ron Paul has had significant influence that way. Peter Schiff in the Senate would double the voice of Freedom.
That said, an Austrian, kicking the head of the Senate Banking Committee out of Washington, would be a pretty major coup in and of itself!

that's NOT ENUFF....there has to be somebody BIG in order to make ANY KIND of an Impact...to connect with the dumbshits....sure the schiff made some impact on some here, but there's STILL shitload of fucking assclowns that dont know/dont give a shit about what's happening and only care about their gayshit american idol !!!
dudebud007 2 years ago
No, it is not enough. Ron Paul was not enough either, but you likely would not have even heard of the Austrian perspective if it weren't for Ron Paul. Peter Schiff and Rand Paul will not be enough either, but even more people will be influenced by their voices. Then others will join them in Congress and the Senate, and the momentum builds. Someday it will be enough, as long as people such as Peter Schiff are willing to step up to the fight.

Peter Schiff should run for senate. His campaign strategy should be to provide us with tools to run a campaign. We need web tools that make grass roots money spending transparent. Make it easy for grass roots to organize projects that involve money. Forget raising money for yourself. Focus on making it easy for third parties to raise and spend money. If you do it right it will turn into a business in itself, and spur a political and economic revolution. That's what I think anyway.

Thanks for your excellent commentary. It must be a difficult decision, but if you do decide to run, you will be a very strong candidate against Dodd and can attack him on his strengths and weaknesses on the issues. The GOP would also desperately need someone in finance with name recognition plus you would be picking up a crucial senate seat for the party. In case you decide not to run, why doesn't your brother (Andrew?) consider?

People from all over the USA would fund a Peter Schiff run for office. You have the backing Peter and your country needs you.

It would be nice if there were two Peter Schiffs: one in the Senate and one to keep doing what he does here. We could definitely use him in our Senate. As a Republican, he would take a seat back from the (D)'s and culturally, that would send a huge message about what kind of candidate Americans want now. He does a lot of good outside govt. too and that is important. Govt. doesn't change the country, people change the govt. We need educated people and that's what he does right now.

btw, which is the official peter schiff channel "TheSchiffReport" or SchiffReport"
4rcane 2 years ago
I think "SchiffReport" is the original and "TheSchiffReport" is fake. The reason is that if you go to their pages you can see in the top left corner when it was created or "joined" as it says.
"SchiffReport" was made march 17.
"TheSchiffReport" was made a month later.
That´s my opinion anyway.

Peter Schiff as far as 'we' are concerned will very likely continue to do as he is doing. What we want Peter Schiff to continue doing is be in the media's eye, to make his video blogs and keep doing his radio program. He could still do most of that, if not all of it, if he ran for Senate, win or loose. Indeed his running for Senate would put him even more in the media's eye, furthering the reach of his message.
