In Age of Tyranny News, Jan comments about current events as well as market developments from a unique if somewhat apocalyptic perspective:

"I write Age Of Tyranny News for two purposes: First, to relate how a national emergency or event like a bird flu pandemic will establish martial law and tyrannical state corporate rule over the entire N. American continent.

Secondly, to communicate sound wealth preservation and management principles so that one can prosper in the coming Bear financial market."

Some of the more interesting features of Jan's Age of Tyranny News are the following:

• Jan divides recent times into different "Ages", and argues that we are now entering into the "Age of Financial Ruin" during which all asset classes except physical gold will rapidly and catastrophically depreciate in value. A true gold bug, Jan believes that gold mining shares do not hold the key to long term wealth preservation and will likely lose their value along with all other paper assets.

• Jan performs a very comprehensive analysis of Gold and other markets, using myriad tools, both fundamental and technical, including the esoteric Elliott Wave Theory. Jan's site is filled with numerous interesting charts as well as almost daily fundamental commentary, providing tons of ideas and information for fundamental investors and chartists alike.

• Jan has published numerous articles about the markets and wealth preservation, including many very insightful articles about Gold. The links to some of Jan's best articles are listed here: [https://www.quickbase.com/db/9jcvpas7?a=q&qid=20]

• Although Jan takes a more purist view about Gold than I do, I agree in many respects with the core precepts of his arguments about the dangers of the current downward trajectory of democracy and the deceptive health of the U.S. economy. I generally find Jan's analyses chilling compelling and consider Jan an intellectual ally, despite some differences between our respective approaches.
