Taking America to the Cleaners

Our nation and people have experienced higher inflation in past years, than we are currently experiencing, but the difference today is our federal government rests in the hands of America’s radicals who are acting with purpose and intent to destroy capitalism and the republic itself, and the 6.2 percent official number is a deception at best.

We’ve never had an administration similar to the Biden regime that is so willing to stoke the flames of continued and growing inflation by advancing and promoting massive infrastructure bills that are essentially Marxist-Maoist social-engineering programs, along with other terrible policies, aimed at making the American people subjects to future totalitarian regimes, rather than free people who command the government.

Dollar Demolition in Progress

The United States government has effectively defaulted on its obligations four times in history.

WTF???

It happened to the Continental Dollar in 1779, the Greenback during the Civil War, the 1934 Liberty Bonds, and Nixon breaking away from the gold standard in 1971. If you count the Greyback, the currency of the Confederacy, that’s five effective defaults… and this starts to look less like an outlier and more like a pattern, complete with economic chaos and civil strife each time. Continue reading

The Lure of Plunder

Leftists deep down believe that all our earnings, like our children, belong to the government. In its beneficence, government gives some back, often with strings, instead of taking every dime.

Remember when Democrats proposed in their multi-trillion spendathon that the IRS would track all transactions of $600 or more in personal bank accounts?

Well, they took a licking from the public, so they upped it to a still-absurd $10,000 in total yearly transactions. Continue reading

The Nation in the Bubble

Why is the U.S. economy stagnating instead of booming? Simple: We have spent a year training Americans to believe that work is alternately unsafe, unavailable or unnecessary.

This week, the Biden administration received just the latest slap in the face from cruel reality: An economic report showing just 194,000 jobs added in the month of September, short of the 500,000 jobs forecast by most economists. The unemployment rate dived to 4.8% from 5.2% – not as a result of job gains, but as a result of more and more Americans dumping out of the work force. Meanwhile, inflation continued to pick up steam, with domestic labor shortages exacerbating supply-chain bottlenecks. Continue reading

The Necessity of Avoiding Group Think For Future Financial Survival

For the past year now, I have been writing about the importance of not only avoiding group think and greatly increasing one’s ability to think critically but also of the necessity to get one’s finances in order. These two achievements are inextricably linked and cannot be separated from one another. However, my observations, over the last 18-months, of blind compliance of the masses to tyrannical lockdown mandates issued all over the world, but specifically to tyranny of an elevated nature in the Pacific Rim nations, has convinced me that very few among us, ever spend a single minute per month cultivating the ability to think clearly, reason intellectually, and to formulate conclusions based upon facts. This ability will be essential to financial survival in the next few years. Continue reading

“Gold, Mr. Bond!”

Goldfinger’ 2021 plot twist could be villainous for banks

Gert Fröbe as Goldfinger in the eponymous 1964 James Bond film. He hoped to lift the value of his gold supplies by setting off an atomic bomb at Fort Knox

In the plot to the 1964 James Bond classic, international gold smuggler Auric Goldfinger hatches a dastardly plan to enrich himself and his outsized gold holdings by setting off a Chinese-made atomic bomb at Fort Knox, the home of the US gold reserve.

Goldfinger’s rationale is that the nuclear fallout will render the US bullion unusable for many decades, impeding its mobility through the international financial system, and in so doing lift the value of his own unaffected supplies, thus making him the richest man in the world. Continue reading
