In just over a century, the international monetary system has collapsed three times: in 1914, in 1939, and in 1971, when Nixon severed the dollar’s last ties to gold. We are due for another major breakdown soon. This time, the US dollar will lose its status as the world’s premier reserve currency. And the ramifications of that happening are hard to overstate. It will likely be the tipping point at which the US government becomes desperate enough to officially restrict the movement of people and their money… desperate enough to nationalize retirement savings… and desperate enough to make other forms … Continue reading →

The post Economic Collapse? appeared first on LewRockwell.

[This appears to have been written while Professor Raico was a university student. No date is given. The paper was found in a folder in the Rothbard Papers.] As a university student, as an heir of the Western tradition, and as a libertarian — on all three of these counts I was aroused by Mr. Buckley’s article, “Peace and Pacifism.” For he has, it appears to me, considered the just arguments neither of youth, nor of civilization, nor, even, of freedom, all of which will live or die, depending on whether it is to be peace or atomic war. To … Continue reading →

If you prefer fake news, fake data, and a fake narrative about an improving economy and stock market headed to 30,000 don’t read this fact based, reality check article. The level of stupidity engulfing the country has reached epic proportions, as the mainstream fake news networks flog bullshit Russian conspiracy stories, knowing at least 50% of the non-thinking iGadget distracted public believes anything they hear on the boob tube. This stupendous degree of utter stupidity goes to a new level of idiocy when it comes to the stock market. The rigged fleecing machine known as Wall Street has gone into … Continue reading →

Shooting a handgun is an activity that looks really easy, but definitely is not. It’s a skill that requires more focus and dexterity than using a rifle or a shotgun, and I’d wager that for most people, it takes a bit longer to master the basics too. That’s why if you’ve never fired a handgun before, you definitely want to take some advice from someone with more experience before you get started. And what would be better than learning from the best? That’s what you get when you listen to Rob Leatham, a world renown professional shooter who has won … Continue reading →

April 04, 2017 “Information Clearing House” – “At least 58 people were killed in an alleged horrific gas attack in the Idlib Governorate this morning“. However, even before investigations could be conducted and for evidence to emerge, Federica Mogherini, the Italian politician High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, condemned the Syrian government stating that the “Assad regime bears responsibility for ‘awful’ Syria ‘chemical’ attack.” The immediate accusation from a high-ranking EU official serves as a dangerous precedent where public outcry can be made even before the truth surrounding the tragedy can emerge Israeli President, Benjamin … Continue reading →

The post Something Is Not Adding Up appeared first on LewRockwell.

“The Irrepressible Rothbard” Murray Rothbard, writing at the time of the collapse of communist Eastern Europe, addresses the issue of the suppressed nationalities: …it is a chance in Europe at long last, to begin to reverse the monstrous twin injustices of Sarajevo and Versailles One wonders why Sarajevo and Versailles would need to be addressed if nationality was irrelevant to humans. After all, one border is just as good as the next; no one really cares with whom they make political bond. Isn’t that right? There are several groups hostile to this idea of “nation.” I will touch on a … Continue reading →

Fancy digs on the A380. What could possibly ruin this?    Photo by the author. June 29, 2016 Instant Access to Current Spot Prices & Interactive Charts I CONTINUE to be astounded by the sheer number of people traveling around the world with babies, toddlers, and other preschool-age children. Even more astounding is how many of these kids are traveling in first or business class. These tickets cost thousands of dollars, yet it seems there’s no shortage of travelers well-heeled enough to be jetting around in the forward rows with two, three, even a half-dozen small children. How the demographics of … Continue reading →

The post Should Kids Be Banned From First and Business Class? appeared first on LewRockwell.

The FBI is super sketchy. Questions abound over their role in various assassinations. The case of Martin Luther King Jr. is no exception. Today is the 49th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., a man who stood for peace and encouraged everyone to not judge people by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. The personal attacks that MLK suffered at the hands of the FBI are well documented, though they sound like conspiracy theories to the unaware. The FBI investigation into King started as a national security issue, with the official … Continue reading →
