 First Hand Account - How Gold Jewelry Can Save Your Life  |
| In 1981, a 10-year-old Vietnamese girl, her parents and nine brothers and sisters began preparing for a perilous journey, a journey they knew they might not survive.
Since the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War in April 1975, life had been hard for the little girl’s family. The Communist government of North Vietnam inherited a country deeply divided, devastated by war, and on the verge of economic collapse. In an attempt to unify the country, the government instituted a centrally pWednesday, November 25, 2020 |

Canada has become a leader in the movement against the
racism practiced against indigenous peoples that has so long been common
practice in much of the world. Is it possible that Ottawa will really follow
the lead of Alberta and other provinces by recognizing the rights given to aboriginal
people in the Constitution without hassle? Such an act would shift cases out of courts
into nation-on-nation negotiations.

| Over the past 3-4 years we have witnessed a mass awakening taking place on a global scale. This mass awakening actually began with the Occupy Wall Street movement that immediately, almost instantaneously, went global. It was also crushed about as quickly as it arose. People being fragmented without a common voice and common direction is a great way to kill an uprising. It doesn’t matter as the idea became part of the conversation, the everyday conversation. Movements come and go but ideas don’t Friday, January 26, 2018 |

 Some Reflexions on History and Economics  |
| Nicolas Oresme, a Catholic bishop (1320-1382), studied human behavior with regard to money, which in his time consisted of gold and silver coinage; he was perhaps the first to observe that humans attribute varying valuations to the money that comes into their hands. He stated that holders of gold and silver coins prefer to tender their most deteriorated coins in payments, and retain the most bright, shiny and perfect of their coins. Thus, he was the true originator of what has come to be known aMonday, January 22, 2018 |

| When Government Shuts Down |
| [Editor’s note: As we face another so-called government shutdown, some may recall that we’ve been down this road before. In this 1996 article, Lew Rockwell explains that government “shutdowns” are neither as unpopular, or as troublesome, as the media and Washington politicians assume.]
According to official history, the 104th Congress doomed itself when it shut down the government to force its budget priorities on the president. People got up in arms and demanded that government be reopened. ThiMonday, January 22, 2018 |

| One-year score card for Trump |
| We understand our politicians to be human, with much that that implies. In a democracy, politics is a competitive business, which means that generally well-balanced individuals tend to succeed, while those who are obviously unbalanced do not. And as for political power corrupting individuals, that is normally limited by the obligation to periodically seek an electoral mandate. That, at least is the theory, but in late-2016, the election of President-elect Donald Trump caused us all to question tFriday, January 12, 2018 |

Forecast 2018 — What Could Go Wrong  |
| Markets
If you take your cues from Consensus Trance Central — the cable news networks, The New York Times, WashPost, and HuffPo — Trump is all that ails this foundering empire. Well, Trump and Russia, since the Golden Golem of Greatness is in league with Vladimir Putin to loot the world, or something like that.
Since I believe that the financial system is at the heart of today’s meta-question (What Could Go Wrong?), it would be perhaps more to the point to ask: what has held this matrix of rackeMonday, January 1, 2018 |

| Part 3 Sleaze, Various Other Truth Bombs |
| We scratched the surface on Government, finance, politics and the rule of law so far. Today, let’s take a look at sleaze and fraud. The sleaze part is not just “sensational”. It is important because in many cases it crosses any decent person’s red line and should piss anyone off who reads it or discovers it.
The first part is certainly not all inclusive but is wide ranging. That said, 2018 looks to be shaping up as barn burner for the arrests of child molesters and human traffickers. NoSaturday, December 30, 2017 |

The end of the world as we know it
It’s Christmas 2017 and North Korean Dear Leader Kim Jong-un is facing a crisis. Recently the United States, with UN approval, imposed the harshest round of economic sanctions yet on his reclusive regime.
While North Korea has been sanctioned since 2006 due to continuing attempts to develop nuclear weapons, this new provocation by its sworn nemesis is the last straw for Kim, who feels the great legacies of his father and grandfather, Kim Friday, December 29, 2017 |

| What's Keeping the German Grand Coalition Talks Alive |
| After rejecting a Grand Coalition, SPD's Sigmar Gabriel seeks to keep the hopes alive despite little party support. Why?Background
Heading into the last election, SPD failed to distinguish itself. Voters reacted appropriately, abandoning SPD, leading to its worst performance ever.
When SPD initially declined the opportunity to form a government, Merkel attempted a three-way coalition of CDU/CSU, FDP, and the Greens.
Differences were irreconcilable, and FDP broke off discussion.
