Honest money would destroy today’s world…

Honest money is a widely-accepted medium of exchange that arises solely from voluntary market exchanges and maintains its value solely from voluntary market exchanges. People once settled on gold and silver coins as their preferred money, but we have long since been prohibited from using them. An employer who pays his employees by mutual consent in gold or silver coins is subject to prosecution from the guilty-until-proven-innocent IRS.

It would take a powerful criminal organization to prevent a nation of 320 million people from exercising their freedom to choose their own money, but that’s what has happened. Ironically, most people don’t consider this organization as criminal at all, but rather as necessary for the preservation and growth of civilization. Continue reading →

Millennials Didn’t Kill the Economy… The Economy Killed Millennials

The American system has thrown them into debt, depressed their wages, kept them from buying homes—and then blamed them for everything.

When a staid American institution is declared dead, the news media like to haul the same usual suspect before the court of public opinion: the Millennial generation.

The 80 million–plus people born in the United States between the early 1980s and the late 1990s stand accused of assassinating various hallmarks of modern life. The list of the deceased includes golf, department stores, the McDonald’s McWrap, and canned tuna. Millennials tore up napkins, threw out mayonnaise, and mercifully disposed of divorce and Applebee’s before graduating to somewhat postmodern crimes: “Have Millennials Killed Serendipity?” With the national murder rate in long-term decline, it may even be said that Millennials are killing killing.

Three Steps To Save America From Collapse

Our monetary system is broken. It’s given us low growth, a shrinking job force, inequality beyond what a healthy economy would produce, inefficiency, and the unnatural growth of finance as a portion of the economy. Our aging Federal Reserve System starves both small businesses and Silicon Valley of the capital needed to grow jobs and wages.

Fed policy translates into zero-interest-rate loans for the government and its cronies, and little or nothing for savers or small businesses. And it has transformed Wall Street from an engine of innovation into a servant of government power. Continue reading →

The History of Banking Control in the United States

The dictatorship of the bankers and their debt-money system are not limited to one country, but exist in every country in the world. They are working to keep their control tight, since one country freeing itself from this dictatorship and issuing its own interest – and debt-free currency, setting the example of what an honest system could be, would be enough to bring about the worldwide collapse of the bankers’ swindling debt-money system.

This fight of the International Financiers to install their fraudulent debt-money system has been particularly vicious in the United States of America since its very foundation, and historical facts show that several American statesmen were well aware of the dishonest money system the Financiers wanted to impose upon America and of all of its harmful effects. These statesmen were real patriots, who did all that they possibly could to maintain for the USA an honest money system, free from the control of the Financiers. The Financiers did everything in their power to keep in the dark this facet of the history of the United States, for fear that the example of these patriots might still be followed today. Here are some facts that the Financiers would like the population NOT to know… (Continue to full commentary)

CRYPTO MANIA

Bitcoin is making new highs for the year and it inspired me to draw this cartoon.

Mark Zuckerberg is going to roll out a Facebook cryptocurrency based on a reliable blockchain called “Libra,” suggesting scales of justice. It will be his justice, of course. VISA and PayPal are already backing it, and to me that raises even more red flags. Continue reading →

Numismatics Are Fool’s Gold

The following is mixed from two different columns, one from renowned economic commentator, Peter Schiff, and the other from the editor of the Kettle Moraine family of publications, including Morgana Precious Metals.

Numismatics Are Fool’s Gold
Last month, I addressed the hype around gold confiscation, and debunked the myth that collectible or numismatic coins would offer effective protection. But there is another sales pitch that many dealers will use while trying to “up sell” you to numismatics. They may argue that on investment merits alone, numismatics are a better bet. While this may be a more rational line of thinking than the typical confiscation con, it is bad advice for investors hoping to protect their assets in an economic slump. Continue reading →

The 90th anniversary is but months away….

Could it happen again?

Price: Gold, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Let’s think about economic life around the world, as it was one hundred years ago – a very short time ago, in historical terms.

The first thing that comes to my mind, is how difficult it was to accumulate any quantity of gold. My maternal grandfather was a schoolteacher and a minister; I guess he made some $600 dollars a year, and he raised a family of eleven on that wage. I doubt very much, that he ever owned a $20 dollar gold piece for any length of time. A silver quarter-dollar was an adequate birthday present for his children. Continue reading →

Mystery of the Spanish coins that predate Christopher Columbus by 200 years and have been found deep in the Utah desert

Coin discovered in the park, minted in Madrid, was likely made in 1662 or 1663

Spanish treasure that predates the arrival of Columbus by 200 years has been found in a US national park.

The two coins, one minted in Madrid in 1660 and the other made around the 1200s, were found lying on the floor at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Utah.

Their presence in the desert remains unexplained and no information has been released about whether they were found with other artifacts.

Spanish explorers arrived in Mexico in the 1500s and began exploring north, although there is no record of them being in America at the time the coins were made. Continue reading →
