As the financial crisis of 2008 took shape, the policy recommendations were not slow in coming: why, economic stability and American prosperity demand fiscal and monetary stimulus to jump-start the sick economy back to life. And so we got fiscal stimulus, as well as a program of monetary expansion without precedent in US history. David Stockman recently noted that we have in effect had fifteen solid years of stimulus – not just the high-profile programs like the $700 billion TARP and the $800 billion in fiscal stimulus, but also $4 trillion of money printing and 165 out of 180 months … Continue reading →

Seymour Hersh’s report on the killing of Osama bin Laden makes Americans wonder whether their government is lying to them about other events, Ron Paul and Daniel McAdams stressed. Some influential US policy-makers have rushed to dismiss the report of American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh who published new relevations on the death of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, due to the fact that Hersh is challenging the government explanation of what happened, emphasized Ron Paul,  a former Republican congressman and two-time US presidential candidate. “I think the goal is mostly to discredit him [Seymour Hersh] and he is not an easy person to discredit because he is challenging … Continue reading →

Imagine a dystopian future in which the life-expectancy of human beings has plummeted from about 70-80 years to around 20 years. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, life expectations at one’s birth averaged 30-35 years, with the death rate among children under the age of five reaching almost 75% by the mid-18th century. During the Industrial Revolution, the population in England sharply increased, leading many to wonder as to the causes. As the deaths of children decreased to just under 32% in the early 19th century, it became evident to intelligent minds that there might be a correlation between the liberty … Continue reading →

Dozens of articles have been published in the last few weeks, glorifying the removal of vaccine exemptions. The state of Vermont, whose state motto is, “Freedom and Unity,” voted 85 to 57 to remove the state’s philosophical exemption. Other states under heavy fire are California, New Jersey, Connecticut and Maine. Why should we have to fight so hard to protect our children and our own body from medical tyranny? But the introduction of the Vaccinate All Children Act of 2015 by Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson (FL-24) has really got me going. My biggest concern is a sneak attack, like the introduction of … Continue reading →

Europe is moving full speed ahead to eliminate all cash. Instead of reforming and tackling the economic problems, government always seeks to maintain the same course of thinking that now leads us to the totalitarian approach coming from Brussels. To maintain the euro, they must maintain the banks. However, the bank reserves are debts of all member states. As government becomes insolvent as in Greece, the banking system is undermined. The only way to prevent the banking collapse is to prevent people from withdrawing cash. Hence, we see this trend is surfacing in all the mainstream press to get the … Continue reading →

China, meaning China’s central bank — the People’s Bank of China — started buying Treasury IOU’s again in March. It purchased $36 billion worth. It now holds over $1.2 trillion in Treasury IOU’s. China has now leaped ahead of Japan as the #1 foreign holder of U.S. government debt. Add Hong Kong to this: another $180 billion. The statistics are here. A few mid-level PBOC officials have talked tough for two years. “We’re through with the U.S. dollar!” Great rhetoric. But when push came to shove, the government buckled. So did the People’s Bank of China. The PBOC buys dollars … Continue reading →
