  • Question for whoever reads this. Ok NIA's investing practices are wrong (?) but id there info about there economy correct? not defending just want to know

  • hyper inflation in the US is a myth its a fruad to gain our trust of the NIA . the truth is hyper inflation only occurs when the products become scarce. its not like people will raise price of pruducts when there plentiful

  • @TheNecropolis20 it occurs when there is an excess amount of the money supply in circulation. the more money the federal reserve pumps in via stimulus to "help the people" the more inflation we will experience. we don't want to experience what happened in germany in 1923.

  • Jesus Christ 250k in one day.

  • these guys siad college education is useless

  • Irony, exposing a fraud in the system while imposing your own fraud. Truely sad because this really is a problem.

  • What they are doing is very much illegal. Stay away from penny stocks.

  • Oh God! $1000 for a penny stock is WAAAAAAY too much! You can get the same Penny Stock names from a $39 newsletter!

  • Whatever whatever whatever! The information on their website and in their documentaries is what people should be focusing on. It is real it is is current and is something think everyone should take into mind.

  • NIA i quickly realized is a fraud. Their information in their articles were great, but its become very obvious how their greed has gotten to them. They dont make anymore useful articles and all they do is spam my email with their stock suggestions and crap.... sigh...

  • I don't believe what they're doing is illegal. It is definitely wrong, however. This is just the art of advertising and unfortunately lots of people buy into it.

  • Peter Schiff is a guest on Fast Money every so often making calls on commodities and so far he has ALWAYS been wrong. He gets made fun of by the other hosts, this guy is a joke...

  • @tonytocanova What the fuck are you talking about you fucking lying piece of shit. He has been right about everything. Of course they make fun of them because they're too stupid to understand what he's saying that's whay he predicted every bubble in history so far. YOU are a joke. Fucking loser.

  • I felt like the NIA was profiting from this all along. I mean, it's kind of simple, really. There's an organization going to great lengths to sway you into buying various stocks. There's no ads for sale. There's no membership. What else could drive them into such great measures except good old fashioned profit. It's sad though, that they're so underhanded. They are gaming the system and any money they've made should be returned to the people they STOLE it from.

  • There is no doubt that the American economy is in big trouble, but the NIA is using the situation to rob people.

  • Yeah, stuff stocks. I want real gold, it's already like $400 for like 10 grams of physical gold. I wonder if I can get a student loan to buy some gold?

  • @jaredtalbot LOL!!!! "Get a student loan to buy some gold," now that is funny stuff.

  • I made over $1000 due to NIA's news letters and i wasn't a member. NIA only advised the stock. It's really up to the individual trader when to sell or buy. In my opinion the entire stock market is a scam because insider trading happens all the time.

  • @MrFixIt1981 Of course the stock market is buyer beware, but NIA's founder was guilty of insider trading, of stock manipulation, and of front-running...all illegal; there's distinctions to be made. Jonathan Lebed is an example of a brilliant but misguided young man, the result of failed parenting, a fellow without ethics or scruples.

  • @Snookynibbles “Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.” - Aleister Crowley

  • so everything nia was saying was a lie, hyperinflation, end of liberty, college is a scam, everything was a fraud

  • @koreadude Not true.  The videos and research was/is quite good...those messages are basically sound. It's NIA's marketing scheme that's bogus (illegal).

  • peter schiff, gerald celente, marc faber, max keiser, and jim rodgers.. very wise men to follow

  • lllllllllllllllllll Ron Paul 2012 lllllllllllllllllllllllllll

  • @travissand amen 

  • I've got even MORE respect for Peter Schiff now.

  • I thought NIA was legitimate.

  • I have reported them to the SEC. Anyone else should do the same as well.

  • @FenrirLupus

    its short- selling, and it's economic

    genius. 

  • NIA sounds like a real life boiler room.

  • nice job, Mr. Schiffer.

  • Interesting... very interesting...

  • i don't know if Alex Jones is still advertising the NIA, but if he is we need to all call in and tell him what they are up to.

  • I noticed how there were no ads on the videos or on their website anywhere, which was more reason for suspicion because nobody does anything for free, they have to be getting money somehow. They didn't say anywhere on the website about how they were getting funded, so by then I was pretty sure something was wrong. I google National Inflation Association and the first sugestion that comes up is "scam", so I search for that and find this video, confirming my suspicions.

  • good thing I saw this, I was on the NIA website after watching the documentaries, which were good, except for a few parts which got me suspicious. I noticed at the end of college conspiracy they were mentioning to not only get into metals, but to get into metals trading companies and mines, and they would tell us if we signed up for the email. This itself was very suspicious since it looked like the whole point of making the documentary was to sell the stocks.

  • What the fuck is wrong with Peter's keyboard???????????

  • I liked NIA - until I saw the "president" of thier latest documentary. A KID - a kid in a business suit. I knew right then and there something was amiss. Theres something to be said for age bringing wisdom, and a KID in his 20s as the president of any company - is a recipe for disaster. Especially a company involved in finances. Most kids Gerard's age, are grappling with thier first credit card and car payments! I have renewed respect for George. Stand tall, George! Good man.

  • @MJ12AgentG

    I noticed the president was really young as well, there was something really tacky about appearance off the whole set, he spoke like a Egit as well.

  • An excellent point that was brought up, and which first made me suspicious months ago, is this:

    With all of these well-made, expensive documentaries and with a website to keep up, where do they get the money to keep going? What merchandise do they sell, what donations do they ask for, what DVD's do they sell? NONE! SCAM SCAM SCAM!

  • No Shit lol

  • Thank you George. Good to have inside confirmation about diabolical predators like the slime that runs NIA.

  • I figured out NIA business model very quickly 2.5 years ago, and why they include good free stuff. I'm absolutely shocked how many naive people are out there

  • Good on ya George you got a way to go but this is one hell of a first step

  • Jonathan Lebed of Lebed(dot)biz and Gerard Adams of WallStreetGrand and both of Inflation(dot)us, the National Inflation Association must be brought to justice if the public allegations that they have been front-running and defrauding people in pump-and-dump schemes is true (which it appears to me clearly is, from being a long-time subscriber to both). They would have gone away making fortunes in fraud.

    Google search: SEC Complaint Center and submit your own take.

  • I have unsubscribed from NIA. The good thing is I never once acted on their stock picks. I don't want to be a part of aiding and abetting scams.

  • George!You need to make a video in regards to your Peter Schiff interview about John Lebed and NIA. You said that you could tell much more. I for one think you owe it to your viewers, especially those who lost money in the stocks, to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I cant even begin to tell you how bad this is for the movement. I hope you do the right thing George. THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE PEOPLE. posted this on G4T's latest video as well. GO there and THUMBS UP.

  • Glad my interest in NIA was the Documentaries they made. If I had researched anything about John Lebed, I wouldn't have subscribed to NIA. It has now been unsubscribed. I tried to post a comment on NIA channel...its pending approval. I was gonna email NIA's subscribers...they're not listed on NIA channel. This goes to show the nature of THE ENEMY. Wolves in sheep's clothing. ANYONE WHO HAS FAVORITED THEIR DOCUMENTARIES, ADD A WARNING ABOUT NIA IN THE DESCRIPTION. THUMBS UP SO PEOPLE CAN SEE.

  • G4T, Peter Schiff according to VisionVictory none of the private stock promotions are ever disseminated again after they go out initially. He says NIA's business model is to promote free stocks that prove well then offer private company's to individuals who pay. That seems like a fair way to make money. After all no one is forcing these people to buy the reports. If there is wrong doing the SEC will find it, if not then this is just two big companies taking shots at each other over a fan base.

  • un-freaking-believable! These NIA jerks are a bunch of scallywags!  From the horses mouth.

  • Wow, reminds me of the book "reminiscence of a stock operator".

  • Where is the SEC?

  • Called out

  • Wow Peter Schiff does it again!!  I f-ing love that dude!!

  • How does George post his original response almost threatening Peter, and then turn around and do this interview? I'm confused by the split personality.

  • Sheriff Schiff!

  • National INCARCERATED Assocation

  • I bought into Nautilus Minerals last month. On the NIA website they still boast about an April 14th high of $3.26 a share well it's now trading at $2.69 where it was trading before they (NIA) sent out the emails. I stopped subscribing to their emails. Kudos to Peter for calling them out!

  • I sent them a nasty email in response to their $1000 solicitation, calling them touts! And now I've canceled my subscription and newletter since the content has been reduced to one solicitation after another. Thanks Peter for exposing them!

  • These guys don't come close to Goldman Sachs.

  • @tfrenn -no kidding-the center of the cesspool. "we live in

    TheUnitedStatesOfGoldmanSachs.­"

  • @wolfgangfaust Jonathan Lebed (born September 29, 1984) is an American notorious for using internet technology to hype stocks.

    Between September 1999 and February 2000 Lebed made hundreds of thousands of dollars by posting in internet chat rooms and on message boards encouraging people to buy penny stocks he already owned, thus, according to the SEC, artificially raising the price of the stock

  • The only problem I have is that I remember seeing a video of George talking about being firing by NIA. Now he's telling us he left? Hmmm. Something doesn't add up.

  • @fagan411

    Well you know I do not completely buy the view they are a complete scam.

    I never went by their recommendations, but most of their companies are solid companies, in a good timing.

    And most of their info is truth

    it really is perplexing to me and I do not know what to think about them.

    This guy doesn't have much credibility with me.

  • @ronaldvanbell That is why they are called confidence men, aka con-men. They get your confidence with a few good recommendations and then dump the rest on to you when you have your guard down. Don't be an easy mark. Peter is the trustworthy lighthouse in all of this.

  • @ronaldvanbell is a SHILL

  • George, I feel bad for what you've been through. I admire your choosing right over money.

    God sees everything!

  • This is all peter got these days

  • I can see FBI WARRANTS in a few days and SEC investigations.

  • @RETIREMESOON Yes, I hope the SEC and the FBI go after these crooks! They piggy backing off of great men to make money and ripping people off! No better than Govt Sachs and Madoff. I'll be sending a complaint to the SEC.

  • What is the most recent NIA reply?

  • Pete? Since I can no longer recommend the NIA video to friends. Regardless of what NIA has done.. It your actions that most influenced myself & many others to no longer share it. You said you agree with much of it. The message: The insane amount of debt taken on because of an 'away' 4yr college might have been a horrible investment,skyrocketing price,850mil debt. We need to talk to people about it. You need to replace the video you took down so we can share the message and your brand.Thanks!

  • Yeah, this is VERY wrong but compared to what the Fed is doing now, this is nothing.....

  • How about this ? That guy george posted "Re- Beware the NIA Penny Stock Pump _ Dump [G4T Response to Peter Schiff] (Part 2)" on May 20th and called Peter a loser and bull****er, and then has the guts to come and cry, oh poor me..... George you are a sad loser, hope the law gets to talk to you.

  • Comment removed

  • Oh my god this George guy is not an angle ether. Look around for george4title scam videos. He is always looking to pick a fight with me and I will not bite.

  • Here comes the SEC

  • Mega Precious Metals is now $0.53 at market close. look like John Lebed is now pumping it up so that the NIA member who bought it previous can dump it. He is losing big.

  • George, you went to the darkside with your eyes wide open. Now you have been exposed to the light. You know damn well the law is going to get involved in this scheme, and you are in a panic. Hope you squirreled away some cash for a good lawyer.

  • 7:44...Amazing...That guy is so scared.

    

  • Comment removed

  • great video nice comeback g4t

  • Comment removed

  • hey Peter, I see Mega precisous metal is up 10% today, is it possible that NIA use their own money to pump up Mega again to pretend that they are not riping people off and this stock has potential? and avoid being charge by SEC? how is the process work from SEC?

  • @hc167 No, they pumped the stock again today with a new emails. My unfortunate people being suckered into the con.

  • @SchiffReport if this is the case, look like there are still people not getting update from you about NIA scam.

  • @SchiffReport Well, despite this at least their documentary did revealed some harsh reality of U.S. economy situation although may reconsider their business agenda. At least that's some part of their virtue.

  • @ltmikepowell Agreed, i found the College Conspiracy to be highly interesting. Now i think about it though, i did feel the last part of it was like a sales pitch for a time share.

  • @Sozlled And End of Liberty as well. Most of them are quite similar to the reports which we heard in the past and present. And of course, the good old Hyperinflation Nation. 

  • @SchiffReport lol... are you serious? NIA might be fake... but the state of the economy is real.

  • In life, there are followers and then there are leaders. 95% of the people are followers. In other words, 95% of the people do not get far in life. Only 5% do! The members of the N.I.A. are followers.

  • watch?v=CnObbcpdEs0

    ^ WATCH THIS OR I KICK PUPPIES!!

    i love this young cat. FOX BUSINESS is Libertarian-Leaning! :)

  • 12 NIA employees have watched this video.

  • When did George elegedly part ways with NIA? He posted a video defending the NIA and bashing Peter Schiff right after Peter's first blog about the NIA within the past week! Now he is taking Peter's side just a few days later?

  • Lol, what's up the criticism and all the hating in the comment section? Seems like some people are getting defensive about NIA and don't like Peter Schiff showing their true colors and taking them down before they can do any more damage. Maybe we have some NIA soldiers trolling? Scumbags.

    Great job, Peter! I love how you stand up for what is right, and I like the ending message: They'll sue you first, because you have money, and all you have to say about it is "bring it on". :)

  • @dradeel it's no different than patriotism, or religion it depend on what side you on is the side you ride with. Us being american cry about our 5000 soldiers dieing in iraq when we kilt over 100,000,000 iraq people. We not to look at things unbiasly from race,religion, patriotism, politics and the whole thing

  • @bossswanky I'm sorry, but what you wrote was too incoherent for me to fully grasp what you were saying or what point you were trying to make. That it's natural for people to be on one side over another in a conflict of interests? Well duh. But this is a matter of an organization deliberately deceiving people and committing economic fraud, yet some people flock to this video to shoot the messenger and put him down entirely for standing up for those who got deceived. That smells like trolling.

  • @dradeel I totally agree with you. I was saying we need to stop being bias and look at both sides, because we as people do it all the time ,know matter if it political,race,social, religion, or any other thing that supposedly separating us as one

  • NIA makes great videos but this is outrageous. Then again, I also think it's irresponsible that Schiff is advocating investing in China, which is building empty ghost cities to inflate GDP numbers, while at the same time they are having huge power shortages, especially in industrial areas. They are doing the same thing as the US did prior to the 2008 crash.

  • Gerorge for title

  • i cant see any 1 beliveing anything G4T has to say , he has proven what type of person he is , show me your friends and ill tell you what kind of person you are

  • Ron Paul is a joke. I've been involved in the Ralph Nader movement since 1996. Ralph Nader is a true patriotic American hero, one who fights for real justice.

  • Pumping and dumping is not a moral crime.

  • don't worry G4T, Lebed will sue Peter before they sue you because Peter has a lot of money. #LOL it is all about the money. ok Peter I will sue you for all your money, just kidding.

  • What's ironic in this is the guy they hired Visionvictory speaks of owning physical silver and gold instead of paper. And is why I started to research the market more and what's going on. And also why I wont invest in stocks or anything related to paper value.

    I guess they hired Visionvictory(independence) for publicity and trust to beef up the scam.

    The videos NIA has spread is the truth about what's going on, which is good. But it's a shame they use the words of truth to be fraudulent.

  • Sounds like G4T resented not getting a piece of the pie. :)

  • @gary97209 You wouldn't, goodie two-shoes?

  • I wouldn't trust G4T further than I could flick him, but I've gained a gram of respect for coming clean. He's human after all.

  • G4CYA. How could anyone get involved with Lebed and NOT know what a crook he was? G4T isn't the sharpest tool in the shed but I don't believe for a moment he was totally in the dark about how crooked this pump n dump NIA crap is. Look at the company he keeps online.......manoftruth.... visionvictory.... and he is totally clean in this? Maybe he got used. Maybe not. He's getting owned all over the 'net and is just bailing before shtf at NIA when the feds come a knockin. G4indictment.

  • How has NIA responded? Or where have they?

  • LOL?

    

  • @Downfurlife apologies if i've interpreted 'LOL?' incorrectly but I assume you are asking a serious question as to why so many find this video to be hilariously funny. I think it is because there are two main things being commented upon. Firstly there is Peter's exposing of the pump and dum fraud that is the NIA. This is important and serious and potentially criminal matter and not funny. The LOL bit relates to G4Title. If you've watched his videos, the G4T scammer videos this video is funny.

  • @Matl I do not know who is lying. This comes down to who do you view as the authority or like more. If one party has proof the other is lying then why not force them to "cease & desist". If not for themselves then for me. These issues they speak about are complex enough with out this internet drama playing out in front of me. I am skeptical enough('green'?) to suggest both parties are receiving tremendous "PR" because of this war - much like when dem's/rep's pretend to disagree.

  • @Matloc I hate using 2 boxes. But, I only became interested in economics a year ago - after decades of being clueless. I've enjoyed Schiff & NIA a lot! As I said both parties understand most people listening do not begin to grasp the complexity of the issues they speak about. Drama sells more than complex issues. Either one party is absolutely lying or both are working towards the same objective. It is sooo GOD DAMN frustrating. I thought I found 2 great people now i am forced into this?

  • Wow, look how quick George4Title change his tune. Even after this video, I still wouldn't trust him with my female dog, the only inferred asset I have.

    "I don't know" "I don't know"? I don't think NIA can sue Schiff and expect to win other than a counter. Lebed's family is not that big and don't have that deep of a pocket and influence. Bye Bye NIA. George even throw VisionVictory in front of the bus too in the interveiw, Wow. Freemarket self regulation at work.

  • @schiffreport I am unsubbing this channel. WHO CARES ABOUT NIA?? We know they are liars but we don't come here to listen to you flame each other! I want good information not school yard arguing over some BS pump n dump scam! GOOD BYE!!

  • @lumberjak5010 Relax man. He is helping to expose a scam. Gold and silver are going up if that's what you want to hear.

  • NIA just sent out an e-mail that said this

    "We are only suggesting the company to help our members learn about a stock that we believe could become one of our biggest long-term gold winners in history. Anybody who says anything otherwise is lying because they are jealous of NIA's success.

    NIA is not an investment advisor. Please never make investment decisions based on anything we say. We never encourage our members to buy any stock or option."

  • @daimon7 Notice ow they write that "NIA" has not been paid. They say nothing about whether John Lebed or other people affiliated with NIA were paid, which we know they were. Their denial merely adds further proof of their quilt.

  • @SchiffReport Wall street grand gets paid and NIA promotes....no conflict of interest, right?

  • @SchiffReport How about talking about how people can reinvent themselves to bring value to America? America needs that or it's going to die. Nobody really cares what beef you and NIA have when bellies are growling. You can't deny the real stats NIA delivers to the people in the videos. And, the "Likely" or "Fictional" videos are actually right-on. It's almost fact. This "cake" has been baking since JFK was assassinated. Well, as far as research can show...

  • @daimon7 I got my email and clicked the unsubscribe button. I suggest everybody do this to let them know we know what they are up to and the gig is up.

  • @daimon7 I don't know what goes on internally with all of the stocks and stuff. But, I don't believe this guy. He just sounds disgruntled and simply said, "I don't know". And, he is the one here making an allegation.

    Now, the videos NIA posts tell the truth.... About what is happening now and what very likely will happen. The jealous people will be those with nothing to eat.

  • just got a new email from NIA. look like they do want to show that they are doing everything legally and did not ripe off people.

  • Oh! That guy! There are tons of people on yotube claiming george 4 title is a con artist.

  • "Don't invest in promoted stocks."

    "You never get something for nothing."

    "It's a plain as the nose on your face."

  • The person Peter is talking about at :20 is visionvictory

  • Thanks Peter. The flags have been up for a while and we needed a pro like you to wave it and get our attention. That 'subscription' fee was really a big red flag. Scammers!

  • George4Title? This is like way more complicated plot than Lonelygirl15.

  • I pumped and dumped last night

  • @homertalk I dump at least once a day, but I haven't pumped much recently.

  • How is this different than Cramer's Mad Money or CNBC on a daily basis? I'm sure the CNBC crew pumps and dumps daily.

  • I thought G4T was upset about the video Schiff made a few days ago? He did a video response to his video and seemed mad at schiff in the video

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • peter shouldn't have given that punk g4t the time of day!!! he's way too important to even acknowledge g4t!

  • I can't stand it when Schiff interrupts people before they complete at least one sentence.

  • @rawfodog75

    I wish I could interrupt your sentence, since it's out off subject.

  • Do you know what each father is scared to have in his life? son like Jonathan Lebed

  • i am sorry for those who have been screwed. many would say that this is an example of how a free market doesn't work, but i would say the exact opposite. look at how much light we have brought on this situation without a single regulator or court.

  • @redcommand85 Very Good point bud. I agree

  • These two, Peter - George understand each other, how innocent this George is.

  • The drama bitch has been had.

    HONESTY prevails!

    I love Peter Schiff.

  • Great picture of G4T...

  • Pete - you are THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!! NIA is like a vulture feeding on road kill... Jonathan Lebed is a lowlife dirtbag!

  • Wow I always knew George was a Ass Clown!!! Why didn't he come clean sooner loser.

  • @gimmeloot442 That's was a hard interview to deal with... go to wikipedia and read up on Front running and Insider trading. Peter is categorically confused.

  • considering the conflicting videos g4t has done re schiff, i think he would make a poor witness for either side. complain to the sec if u think nia is in violation otherwise you are opening urself up to a libel lawsuit.

  • You've have the mechanics right but still categorically wrong. Front running is about brokers getting their orders in prior to their customers. Insider trading is about information on a company prior to it being made public. Yes it looks the same, no it's not the same thing! You can buy and sell and talk about stocks all you want. People promote stocks they buy because... Duh!!!

  • George is a joke. About a year ago he was saying he was earning 10k a month and now in more recent video he has been e begging for donations and saying he may have to go on food stamps. Ive tried to bring this up on his own channel and he just blocked me from comment. George is just full of it!!

  • My question is... at what point do we take responsibility for our own actions? Is NIA engaging in 'pump & dump' scams? I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me either way. Point is, DO YOUR OWN FUCKIN' THINKING! YOUR FINANCES ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND NO ONE ELSE'S. Stop blaming others for your woes and take some fuckin' responsibility. Again, I don't claim to know whether or not they're running a scam. I do know that there's not a gun to your head. You can accept advice, or reject it.

  • @rkymtntruther No shit eh....and people complain that liberals want the government to look out for them, it is the same with these people who went and bought stocks on NIA recommendation alone. They want someone to do their thinking for them.

  • It's hilarious that anyone would have trusted a black American with their investments. HA! Just sayin'...but it's absolutely true.

  • @MarcusCMarcellus We are all dumber for having read your post.

  • @rkymtntruther Of course! All people are equal; there is no differences in incidences of crime among different peoples; a natural disaster in New Orleans is followed by the exact same behavior as Japan; there is no difference between Europe and Africa; hip-hop is the same as Mozart, of course, of course you're right. The intellectual output of Africa is the same as Europe and North America. Yes, indeed, silly me! Look, a unicorn - weeeee....
