America's Forgotten War Against the Central Banks |
"Let me issue and control a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes
its laws." (Mayer Amschel Rothschild, Founder of Rothschild Banking Dynasty)
Many prominent Americans such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and
Andrew Jackson have argued and fought against the central banking polices used
throughout Europe.
A note issued by a central bank, such as the Federal Reserve Note, is bank
currency. These notes are given to the government in exchange for an interest-bearing

Why bad economic theories remain popular |
Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, the most prominent “Austrian” economists of the time, anticipated the 1929 stock market crash and correctly predicted the dire consequences of government attempts to artificially stimulate economic growth in the aftermath of the crash. John Maynard Keynes, on the other hand, was totally blindsided by the stock market crash and the economic disaster of the early 1930s. And yet, Keynes’s theories gained enormous popularity during the 1930s whereas the work of Tuesday, April 28, 2020 |

Gold is a Giant Ouija Board |
We have been promising to get back to the topic of capital destruction, which we put on hiatus for the last several weeks to make our case that the interest rate remains in a falling trend. Today, we have a different way of looking at capital destruction.
Socialism is the system of seeking out and destroying capital. Redistribution means taking someone’s capital and handing it over as income to someone else. The rightful owner would steward and compound it, not consume it. But the recipient of uMonday, February 26, 2018 |

Speculating Our Way to Prosperity |
We have been discussing the consumption of capital. Last week, for example, we concluded with:
“We see people eating more of the seed corn.”
Morally, socialism is the enslavement of man to man. If you create something, they want not just to take it from you, but to render you unable to create anything else. They declare that the ideal is “from each according to his ability.” This is about the most perfect expression of envy ever put into words. By envy, we mean the hatred of the good for being tTuesday, January 16, 2018 |

Donald Trump – Modern Day Walpole |
“Hatred of Walpole was almost the only feeling which was common to them. On this one point they concentrated their whole strength. With gross ignorance, or gross dishonesty, they represented the Minister as the main grievance of the state. His dismissal, his punishment, would prove the certain cure for all the evils which the nation suffered. What was to be done after his fall, how misgovernment was to be prevented in the future, were questions to which there were as many answers as there were nSunday, January 7, 2018 |

The Size Of The Financial Avalanche Coming Grows Larger - Dave Kranzler |
Inflation vs deflation. The true economic definition of “inflation”
is the rate of increase in the money supply in excess of the rate of
increase in wealth output. Inflation is monetary in nature. Rising
prices are the manifestation of inflation. Someone I follow on Twitter
posted an ingenious example from which to conceptualize the true concept
of inflation using the game of Monopoly:
The players all start out with reasonable
amounts of money to speculate on real estate. As the game proceTuesday, November 14, 2017 |

Hidden Forces of Economics, Gold Silver Report 27 Aug 2017 |
We have noticed a proliferation of pundits, newsletter hawkers, and even mainstream market analysts focusing on one aspect of the bitcoin market. Big money, institutional money, public markets money, is soon to flood into bitcoin. Or so they say.
We will not offer our guess as to whether this is true. Instead, we want to point out something that should be self-evident. If big money is soon to come in, and presumably drive the price up to whatever new height—perhaps even the magic $1,000,000—whatMonday, August 28, 2017 |

Bad Ideas About Money, Bitcoin, and Gold Report |
Most false or irrational ideas about money are
not new. For example, take the idea that government can just fix the price of
one monetary asset against another. Some people think that we can have a gold
standard by such a decree today. This idea goes back at least as far as the
Coinage Act of 1792, when the government fixed 371.25 grains of silver to the
same value as 24.75 grains of gold, or a ratio of 15 to 1. This caused problems
because the market valued silver a bit lower than that.

Market Warning: “A Signal That This Reversal In The Stock Bubble Will Take Place Very Soon” |
The following report was originally published by Brandon Smith of Alt-Market.com
Though stock markets in general are meaningless and indicate nothing in terms of the health of the economy they still function as a form of hypnosis, or a kind of Pavlovian mechanism; a tool that central bankers can use to keep a population servile and salivating at the ring of a bell. As I have mentioned in the past, the only two elements of the economy that the average person pays attention to in the slightest arWednesday, July 19, 2017 |

Cryptocurrencies vs. Bullion - Jeff Nielson |
Bitcoin and ethereum. By now, at least one of these names
will be familiar to readers. These are “crypto-currencies”.
What is a crypto-currency? In general terms, a
crypto-currency is a digital currency where the value/exchange rate of that
currency is the product of a complex mathematical formula.
Proponents of these crypto-currencies are adamant that these
formulae are valid and therefore this ensures the integrity of these new
currencies. That point will be briefly addressed later in this artThursday, July 13, 2017 |
