Mike Krieger saved TBP back in May of 2014. A denial of service attack had the site down for days when Mike emailed me and hooked me up with his IT guru TMWNN. I was hours away from pulling the plug on TBP. Within two days TMWNN had fought off the attack and has protected TBP ever since. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Mike for helping out a fellow blogger.
We both started blogging around the same time (2009/2010) and both had the same goal – to warn as many people as possible about the dire financial consequences from the actions of the Fed, Wall Street and politicians. We both thought we could change enough minds to make a difference.

Mike seems to have found solace in his family and gardens. I wish him well and anticipate his new website.
