Dear fellow investor,
I put this message together quickly, to get it to you ASAP. So, please forgive me if there are typos.
It concerns a rapidly developing investment opportunity you can get into today for less than $5 per share.
But as you'll see, that price is about to double -- and then double again by year end simply because it's ....
The One Company Comcast, Verizon and Cisco Can't Do Without...
You see, the company I'm talking about manufactures an irreplaceable semiconductor chip for almost every big name in the communications industry -- Comcast, Verizon, Cisco, Motorola, Samsung, DirectTV... the list goes on.
Chances are you've already got a handful of these chips in your home as they power your HDTV, paid television reception, and Wi-Fi internet connections. More importantly, without modification, these chips are already capable of handling the next-gen services on deck in the communications arena.
But here's the thing... Right now, there's probably only a handful of individual investors who even know this company exists. That's why you can still get shares of this company for less than $5 each.
However, I can guarantee you that's going to change quickly.
You see, the company has been pointing to the third quarter of 2013 as its profitability starting line, with revenues projected to jump 217% by year's end alone.
With growth that fast, it won't remain small for long.
That's why I am sending you a link to a time-sensitive investment report about this company.
I urge you to view it as soon as possible to discover why this company is the must-buy investment of the summer.
Because the quicker you get into it, the higher your profits will rise.
You see, the report explains in detail how this company's shares could double almost overnight -- within the next few months, or even weeks.
And they could even turn around and double again before year's end... Making your $5 shares worth $20 each, inside of six months.
So don't delay, click the link below and learn about this small-cap, chip-making company with a stranglehold on the communications industry:
The One Company Comcast, Verizon and Cisco Can't Do Without...
Realistically, it's only a matter of time before the street's Fat Cats take notice and start pouring in big money.
When that happens, the share price will take off like a Saturn V rocket. And early-in investors will make a killing. Become one of the earliest-in today,The One Company Comcast, Verizon and Cisco Can't Do Without...
Yours in profits and prosperity,

The Ever-Changing American Enemy: Thank you, Russia ?
Dear Laissez Faire Today Reader,
Baltimore, MD -- What happens when you spend a day at home searching the Internet for home appliances and maybe some back-to-school supplies? For most people, you get a lazy afternoon. But one couple in Long Island, N.Y., got a visit from their local police department. They had some questions about their peculiar Internet searches.
Better sit down before you read this. And move away any valuables you might throw at a wall in a fit of rage.
Michele Catalano was doing Google searches for pressure cookers. Her husband was looking for a new backpack. A couple days later, six members of the "Joint Terrorism Task Force" knocked on their door and asked them to explain their actions. These weren't people from the FBI, the NSA, or the Department of Homeland Security. Rather, they were local police officers. Yet they had access to Internet searches that only a few specific agencies were granted.
The news cycle is trying to draw the American attention away from the ongoing spying scandal, but it's stories like this that keep it from completely dying. This story of the Catalano family from New York merely confirms your worst suspicions. So why would police be looking at the Google searches of a normal, middle-class American family?
The government says that they can look at information of only Americans who are connected to terror suspects by no more than two people. And though it sounds small and limited in its scope, a simple example shows just how far their reach extends.
Let's say on average, a person calls or contacts 40 unique people. Under the current guidelines, the government would be able to mine the records of "only" 2.5 million people. So when the people behind the controls say they did "only" a few hundred searches, they're not including all the other records that fall under their extended network.
Which brings us back to the couple from New York. They're probably a lot like you and countless other people in America. People who accidentally fell into a government surveillance net. All because they knew someone who knew someone who knew someone who made a long-distance phone call to someone on a government watch list.
Fortunately, there isn't a sad ending to this story. The joint terrorism task force didn't arrest them for their inopportune Google searches. But it makes you wonder just how anonymous you are in the mass that is the Internet. Unlike getting lost in a physical crowd, there is an electronic marker that distinguishes you from all other Internet users. And now it seems like someone somewhere is always watching.
When Edward Snowden revealed just how deep the NSA spying rabbit hole went, he revealed how little privacy we really have. And as his story continues to unfold, America's reputation and honor quickly loses its credibility. Before, people saw America as a refuge from oppression. Now Americans are looking to our former enemies for the same protection.
But as Laissez Faire's own Jeffrey Tucker writes in today's article, America's fickle relationship with other countries seems to be a familiar theme throughout our history. See what it means for our current situation, and how Edward Snowden plays a key role for the foreseeable future.
Introducing Jeffrey Tucker's... Thank You, Russia?
Lon Snowden, father of whistle-blower Edward Snowden,
gave an interview to the media this week. The venue: Rossiya 24, a
state-owned station. His message was one of gratitude to Russia for
considering his son's request for asylum. Edward, as everyone knows, is
on the run for having revealed to the American people that their
government is logging every communication and storing it for later use.
In other words, Edward is in big trouble for revealing that our government is doing to its own citizens what the U.S. once accused Russia of doing to its citizens. In what is really a bizarre turn of events, Russia has become a safe haven for an American whistle-blower. Any friend of freedom has to join Lon Snowden in expressing gratitude. Because as it turns out, there are only a handful of countries in the world that the U.S. government can't intimidate into compliance.
I'm as glad as the next guy that "we" won the Cold War. But sometimes you just have to wonder: What was the point of those 45 years of nuclear stalemate? All that time, we were told that this was a mighty struggle between individualism and collectivism, between freedom and tyranny, between capitalism and communism.
But at the end of the day, once everything has shaken itself out, it is Russia that is providing sanctuary to our best citizens.
Is this some sort of strange dystopian novel? Well, yes, and it has a name: Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell. Murray Rothbard once did a reconstruction of the hidden meaning of that novel. He demonstrated that Orwell was writing about the reality of the wartime and postwar period. A time when Russia's status as an enemy turned to friend and back to enemy again in the blink of an eye.
In Orwell's depiction, the world is dominated by three superpowers: Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. Alliances would turn on a dime depending on political priorities. "We've always been at war with Eastasia," says the slogan. Sounds just like something we'd hear today.
Islamic fundamentalists were U.S. allies in my living memory. They were heralded in the 1980s as freedom fighters who held to traditional family values and served as a mighty bulwark against atheistic communism. After the Cold War, our friends became our enemies. Now the right-wing talk shows speak daily of how we've always been at war with Islam.
The Russia case is particularly interesting. In the 1920s, American politics was sporadically consumed with the Red Scare. By the 1930s, Russia had become a kind of paradigm of progress. It was a model after which the New Deal copied its planning schemes for agriculture and large industry. By wartime, Russia was our dearest friend, a heroic ally in the struggle against Japanese and German imperialism. But only a year after WWII ended, President Truman spun it again: Now Russia was the biggest threat to Europe's freedom, and thus began the long Cold War.
But it is even more complicated than that. As Rothbard wrote in 1986:
As should be clear, Orwell was not so much writing about a future that might come to pass as a present that had already revealed itself in politics throughout the 20th century. This was the century of the total state. What does that mean? It means that no aspect of life is conceptually out of reach for the government. All your data belong to them. All your products, services, and activities are their business. Our property we own only at their discretion. No aspect of life is unplanned by our masters, provided they have the interest and means to make it happen.
The totalitarian mind is revealed in its fullness in the attitude toward war. Beginning in the age of democracy of the 20th century, entire populations were considered to be combatants and potential targets. You know how during U.S. wars, we hear about how civilians are just as culpable for tyrannical power because they are somehow permitting the dictator to rule by failing to overthrow him? We heard this constantly during the Iraq War.
This is a totalitarian mentality. No one is considered outside the political constellation.
Freedom and the total state are incompatible, except that, of course, any state is happy to use propaganda to proclaim itself to be the true land of the free and home of the brave. The reality is borne out in the state's attitude toward dissidents. If you see something and say something bad about the government, what happens to you? It's a basic test of freedom. In this case, the U.S. has been failing miserably.
But the humiliation is increased for Americans to see our former enemies (well, one-time enemies turned friends turned enemies turned friends, etc....) now providing a safe haven to a young man who told the truth about the U.S. surveillance state. Edward Snowden, said Doug Casey last week at Agora Financial's Vancouver Symposium, is not just a hero, but a superhero. He gave up everything to do a public service, all in the interest of making a dent in the inexorable tendency toward total control.
What's fascinating is to see how completely lacking in cynicism Snowden truly is. He thinks that the system can change. He wants Congress to do something. He wants the American people to rise up and demand that their government keep to normal standards of civility and afford their citizens some degree of privacy. In expressing that hope, Edward Snowden revealed himself as one of the last men to actually believe that the system can work to the good. Most of the rest of us lost that hope long ago.
Now he hides... in Russia.
Or as George Orwell might write, "Yet, after all, we've always been at war with Russia."
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Tucker
P.S. Try to remember for a moment what some of your most recent Google searches were. Maybe they were just harmless inquiries that popped into your head. But to some government employee looking for a lead on the next big break, it could be an unlucky combination for you and your family.
Police knocking on your door because you made an innocuous search at the wrong time. Someone combing through your emails because something you wrote as a joke could be construed the wrong way...
Imagine that one day as they're watching your Internet activity everything goes silent. Your electronic trail goes cold. And there's nothing on the Internet that ties you to anything. You've gone dark, and the watchers have no idea what happened.
This isn't the beginning of a new science-fiction techno thriller. It's what thousands of Americans are doing in response to the NSA's surveillance program. Compliance means consent, and a growing number of people in the country have not consented, nor will they ever consent, to this level of government overreach. And now, if you haven't already, you can join their ranks.

The best investment secret on the planet
...is one financial "experts" don't want you to know about.
Investment advisers won't tell you about this secret because it gives you a low-cost, lower-risk strategy for bagging huge stock gains fast -- like 61%, 82% or even 119% -- without paying any fees!
Wall Street big boys don't talk about this secret because it's a strategy many are not even allowed to use.
But Jonas Elmerraji wants to tell you all about it. And you won't want to miss what he has to say.

But it is even more complicated than that. As Rothbard wrote in 1986:
"Our deadly enemies in World War II, Germany and Japan, are now considered prime Good Guys, the only problem being their unfortunate reluctance to take up arms against the former Good Guys, the Soviet Union. China, having been a much lauded Good Guy under Chiang Kai-shek when fighting Bad Guy Japan, became the worst of the Bad Guys under communism, and indeed, the United States fought the Korean and Vietnamese wars largely for the sake of containing the expansionism of Communist China, which was supposed to be an even worse guy than the Soviet Union. But now all that is changed, and Communist China is now the virtual ally of the United States against the principal Enemy in the Kremlin."And today? Following some years of friendship in union with the anti-Islamist cause (the U.S. has tacitly backed President Putin in all his imperial wars), Russia is the enemy again. After all, this awful state is protecting a whistle-blower from capture by the U.S.! Meanwhile, Japan doesn't figure into world politics at all, while China is said to be an unrelenting menace to our industrial superiority due to its propensity to steal trade secrets.
As should be clear, Orwell was not so much writing about a future that might come to pass as a present that had already revealed itself in politics throughout the 20th century. This was the century of the total state. What does that mean? It means that no aspect of life is conceptually out of reach for the government. All your data belong to them.

Could Asparagus Be the Next Cure For Cancer?
Asparagus as a cancer cure is not as bizarre as it sounds.
Scientists around the world have been discovering the power of
antioxidant-rich nutrition in the fight against chronic illness and disease.
This flavorful vegetable is one of the most powerful.
There are more than 300 varieties of asparagus – Asparagus Officinalis is the variety most commonly grown and eaten in the United States – but less than 20 are edible. Asparagus shoots resemble spears with small florets at the top and are green or purple in color.
The more purple a bunch of asparagus health benefits that it has, the sweeter its taste. The best time of year to buy asparagus is in the spring and early summer – it should be consumed within two days of purchase.
Asparagus has been grown as a food source for more than 2000 years but it is still one of the least popular vegetables! A shorter growing season keeps the price higher than more typical vegetables such as broccoli and spinach, but the nutrients in asparagus make it crucial to cancer prevention.
Consuming foods with naturally high anti-inflammatory properties lowers the risk of inflammation getting out of control and possibly leading to disease.
The known cancer-fighting properties of the nutrient folate, found in asparagus, were discovered when patients diagnosed with the disease were found to be folate-deficient, according to the American Cancer Society.
Women who drink alcohol regularly tend to have low folate levels and are at higher risk for breast cancer. Adding dietary folate to your nutrition helps reduce risks associated with alcohol.
Folate regulates cell division – cancer is the result of damaged cells dividing again and again. Folate, along with its synthetic cousin folic acid, prevents cellular mutations.
Additional research needs to be conducted and human trials established before scientists can say definitively that asparagus is a cancer cure; adding folate to your diet now means this powerhouse nutrient can work to protect your DNA and prevent cancer before it starts.
Asparagus health benefits is a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-depressant.
Many people report a strong smell in their urine following consumption of asparagus, but scientists can find no cause for the odor. They are certain, however, that it is not an adverse reaction – there is no danger associated with the strange odor.
Folate is critical to heart health because it regulates homocysteine levels – an amino acid found in the blood that is caused by eating too much meat and not getting enough folate in your diet.
A study conducted in Norway linked high levels of homocysteine to strokes and heart attacks that resulted in death. Folate breaks down homocysteine and keeps it from forming fatty deposits in the arteries.
As a great source of vitamin K, asparagus health benefits prevents the buildup of calcium in the cardiovascular system, a proven cause of heart disease. Vitamin K also strengthens bones.
It increases urine output, which helps to prevent and treat bladder, urinary tract and kidney infections. The potassium, folate, glutathione and vitamin K in asparagus have also been shown to lower the risk of kidney stones.
The carbohydrate called inulin in asparagus prevents the growth of bad gut bacteria and stimulates the growth of good gut bacteria. Asparagus health benefits is also high in fiber, which stabilizes digestion, makes you feel fuller faster and prevents constipation.
According to the UCLA Medical Center, asparagus is naturally low in calories, salt-free and contains no fat or cholesterol, making it ideal for detoxification. Every cup of asparagus is packed with potassium, which has been found to minimize fat deposits in the belly.
The next time you pass it in your supermarket produce section, stop and give those stems a chance!
This flavorful vegetable is one of the most powerful.
There are more than 300 varieties of asparagus – Asparagus Officinalis is the variety most commonly grown and eaten in the United States – but less than 20 are edible. Asparagus shoots resemble spears with small florets at the top and are green or purple in color.
The more purple a bunch of asparagus health benefits that it has, the sweeter its taste. The best time of year to buy asparagus is in the spring and early summer – it should be consumed within two days of purchase.
Asparagus has been grown as a food source for more than 2000 years but it is still one of the least popular vegetables! A shorter growing season keeps the price higher than more typical vegetables such as broccoli and spinach, but the nutrients in asparagus make it crucial to cancer prevention.
Is the Cure for Cancer in Asparagus?
Scientists believe that chronic inflammation is the root cause of not only cancer but many other diseases. Heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and autoimmune diseases are among those linked to inflammation.Consuming foods with naturally high anti-inflammatory properties lowers the risk of inflammation getting out of control and possibly leading to disease.
Folate: The Key Cancer Prevention Nutrient in Asparagus
Asparagus health benefits has shown great promise in the fight against breast, colon, lung, prostate, ovarian and other cancers.The known cancer-fighting properties of the nutrient folate, found in asparagus, were discovered when patients diagnosed with the disease were found to be folate-deficient, according to the American Cancer Society.
Women who drink alcohol regularly tend to have low folate levels and are at higher risk for breast cancer. Adding dietary folate to your nutrition helps reduce risks associated with alcohol.
Folate regulates cell division – cancer is the result of damaged cells dividing again and again. Folate, along with its synthetic cousin folic acid, prevents cellular mutations.
Additional research needs to be conducted and human trials established before scientists can say definitively that asparagus is a cancer cure; adding folate to your diet now means this powerhouse nutrient can work to protect your DNA and prevent cancer before it starts.
Asparagus health benefits is a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-depressant.
An Overlooked Super Food
Many aspects of asparagus health benefits are simply overlooked perhaps because it’s either too expensive or because people are turned off by its effect on urine.Many people report a strong smell in their urine following consumption of asparagus, but scientists can find no cause for the odor. They are certain, however, that it is not an adverse reaction – there is no danger associated with the strange odor.
Asparagus and Heart Health
66% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of folate is contained in one cup of asparagus.Folate is critical to heart health because it regulates homocysteine levels – an amino acid found in the blood that is caused by eating too much meat and not getting enough folate in your diet.
A study conducted in Norway linked high levels of homocysteine to strokes and heart attacks that resulted in death. Folate breaks down homocysteine and keeps it from forming fatty deposits in the arteries.
As a great source of vitamin K, asparagus health benefits prevents the buildup of calcium in the cardiovascular system, a proven cause of heart disease. Vitamin K also strengthens bones.
Diuretic, Detoxifier and Digestive Aid
Asparagus works well as a natural diuretic for the treatment of water retention related to PMS.It increases urine output, which helps to prevent and treat bladder, urinary tract and kidney infections. The potassium, folate, glutathione and vitamin K in asparagus have also been shown to lower the risk of kidney stones.
The carbohydrate called inulin in asparagus prevents the growth of bad gut bacteria and stimulates the growth of good gut bacteria. Asparagus health benefits is also high in fiber, which stabilizes digestion, makes you feel fuller faster and prevents constipation.
According to the UCLA Medical Center, asparagus is naturally low in calories, salt-free and contains no fat or cholesterol, making it ideal for detoxification. Every cup of asparagus is packed with potassium, which has been found to minimize fat deposits in the belly.
Bone Health
Asparagus is the number one source for vitamin K – containing almost 70% of the RDA in a single cup. Vitamin K keeps bones strong and repairs damage, preventing the risk of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.Folate and Vitamin K Aren’t the Only Heroes in Asparagus:
-
• Vitamin A is abundant in asparagus and protects vision, bone development and growth.
• Tryptophan is pivotal to the synthesis of serotonin – a mood-enhancing hormone. Low levels of tryptophan in those with cancer can lead to increased feelings of depression and hopelessness.
• Vitamin B2 metabolizes fat and carbohydrates in your body but is also crucial for normal cell growth.

NSA Surveillance of European Allies May Block EU-U.S. Trade Talks
NSA Surveillance of European Allies May Block EU-U.S. Trade Talks
Dear Laissez Faire Today Reader,
Las Vegas, NV -- "See something, say something." That's the line that's touted in countless public transportation systems or transit hubs throughout the country. In our nation's capital, D.C., they actually encourage riders to ask one another, "Is that your bag?" As if making this inquisition hides the fact that they want you to do their dirty work. They want you to keep an eye on your neighbor.
Because once you can't even trust your fellow countrymen, they're banking that you end up putting your trust in your all powerful, Big Brother.
"See something, say something. If you're not sure, let the proper authority handle it."
And for some people, it's not just a suggestion. It's an order. And if you don't follow it, meaning that if you don't keep tabs on your fellow Americans, you could wind up breaking the law.
You see, this administration, in an attempt to put Nixon to shame, is making government employees responsible for keeping state secrets secret. But we don't need to tell you that this isn't surprising. As more and more stories about the government's surveillance program leaks out to the public, the less surprised the American people become. And that's the real danger.
Fortunately, our allies overseas are getting fed up with constantly being spied on. And even though president Obama tried to calm the American public by saying everyone does it, they're not taking the bait.
And as today's article by Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) writer, Maira Sutton, shows, the NSA's surveillance tactics could cause an international incident. As part of EFF's International team, she monitors and advocates emerging tech policy around the world. Some areas they focus on are intellectual property and innovation issues.
Obama's been working hard on various trade agreements that would help create better trade relations with our European allies. Unfortunately, in order to gain an upper hand, he's had his snoops bug various offices of diplomats. And now that they're aware of what's going on, it could jeopardize these potential trade agreements. While it's bad press for the administration, it's regular Americans like you that ultimately feel the brunt of it.
Introducing Maira Sutton's...NSA Surveillance of European Allies May Block EU-U.S.. Trade Talks
The first round of negotiations over a new trade agreement between
the U.S. and the European Union is scheduled to start this week, but it
may be doomed before it even begins. EU officials are demanding answers
and threatening to call off the negotiations in light of the latest NSA
revelations released last week showing how the U.S. has been involved in
extensive spying on EU diplomats. The diminishing trust between the two
allies could have a knock-on effect on global copyright regulation and
stiffen Europe's resolve to better protect its own citizens' online
privacy.
The new NSA leaks shed light on the extensive nature of U.S. surveillance on EU officials. By installing bugs and infiltrating their computer networks, the NSA has had access to private discussions, emails, and internal computer documents housed in the EU office in Washington, D.C. There is even indication that EU reps at the United Nations were similarly spied on. According to the leaked documents, the aim of the surveillance scheme was "to gather inside knowledge of policy disagreements on global issues and other rifts between member states."
That kind of inside information would no doubt be put to use in the forthcoming negotiations over the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), also known as the Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA). Negotiators plan to draft TTIP under the same secretive processes as previous trade agreements. Officials from both regions have indicated their intention to regulate copyright in this latest trans-Atlantic trade deal. Also on the bargaining block has been the regulation of trans-Atlantic data flows of personal information from and about European citizens to American companies like Facebook, Google, and Yahoo.
The EU has had comparatively better privacy safeguards, but it's clear the U.S. has been working to chip away at them, partly to protect U.S. companies that rely on the "safe harbor" exceptions to European privacy law and partly to defend its international spying activities. Over a year ago, the Obama administration lobbied EU officials to drop an "anti-FISA" clause from Europe's current reform of its privacy legislation, the Data Protection Directive. According to The Washington Post, the European Commission dropped the rule in order to avoid complications in future trade deals, including TTIP.
Given recent revelations, the EU may now have two big reasons to push back harder on privacy, no matter how much that might "complicate" relations with the United States. As European Digital Rights (EDRi) said last month:
It's still unclear as of the time this was written whether EU-U.S. trade negotiations will go on as scheduled. Other countries targeted in the surveillance program include Mexico and Japan, which are parties to the separate negotiations. While Japan has joined the call to demand answers from the U.S., it is not yet clear if this will also lead to similar complications for those trade talks.
Trade agreements, like any other international policymaking space, reflect the geopolitical and economic realities in which they take place. It's clear that these NSA spying revelations undermine the trust and goodwill other nations held for the U.S., the consequences for which will likely be felt for months, if not for years, to come.
It may also transform the debate about the transparency of international agreements. The blatant hypocrisy of the U.S. government asserting the importance of negotiating trade agreements in private -- out of the sight of public scrutiny -- yet all the while covertly collecting such intimate information on the internal debates of our state allies may give other countries pause as to how imbalanced supposedly secret negotiations can be.
It's now clear more than ever how crucial transparency is for enabling democratic international rule making to take place. In order for our governments to enact proper, functional policies that address real issues and primarily benefit the broad public, our laws and the process for creating them need to be out in the open, visible to all: not just those who have the resources and the brazen intent to spy on their international partners.

[Ed. note: There's something even more devious at play here. Europe might be upset about the United States spying on its diplomats, and even its citizens. But that doesn't mean that they don't have their own systems in place tracking your internet usage. And as bad as it is that our government is watching us, at least there's a chance of legal recourse.
When the bureaucrats on the other side of the Atlantic watch, monitor and record us, there's very little we can do. In fact, it might actually be a way that president Obama can say in truth that his government doesn't spy on American citizens. He just gets his allies to do it for him.

Given recent revelations, the EU may now have two big reasons to push back harder on privacy, no matter how much that might "complicate" relations with the United States. As European Digital Rights (EDRi) said last month:
"The USA already has one scandal on government access to data (PRISM) undermining trust in U.S. companies. They know that the lack of a comprehensive privacy framework means that a scandal regarding corporations' use of data is inevitable. The U.S. desperately needs to ensure that Europe does not have a privacy framework that will give it a major competitive advantage."EU officials are rightly upset over revelations that their own negotiators are being spied upon. Leaders of EU nations including German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President François Hollande have called on the U.S. for explanations. German officials have accused the U.S. of using "Cold War"-like tactics to undermine their mutual trust. Hollande has called for an immediate halt to the programs or else will call off the TTIP talks next week.
It's still unclear as of the time this was written whether EU-U.S. trade negotiations will go on as scheduled.
