History of Central Banking & The FEDERAL RESERVE CARTEL:
Central banking was never designed to stabilize economies. It was designed to stabilize governments that spent more than they taxed. The Bank of England launched in 1694 with a straightforward transaction: a consortium of private bankers lent William III £1.2 million to fund his war against France, and in return received the right to issue banknotes against that debt. The template was set on day one. Public debt and money creation arrived as a package deal.
The Federal Reserve repeated the pattern, but with better marketing. Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, sold to the public as a bulwark against the banking panics that plagued the 19th century. The Fed produced the most catastrophic banking collapse in American history in 1929-1933, followed by a contraction that destroyed roughly a third of the money supply on its own watch. Milton Friedman documented this meticulously in "A Monetary History of the United States." The institution created to prevent bank runs presided over the worst bank runs in recorded American experience.
Every central bank in the 20th century eventually broke its commodity constraint. The U.S. severed the last formal gold link in August 1971, when Nixon closed the gold window and defaulted on America's obligations to foreign governments holding dollars. Since that date, the dollar has lost roughly 87% of its purchasing power. Prices you pay at a grocery store in 2026 reflect that slow-motion confiscation accumulated across five decades.
Ludwig von Mises identified inflation as a hidden tax before most economists would admit the mechanism existed. New money flows first to government and its preferred creditors. By the time it reaches wages and savings accounts, prices have already adjusted upward. The purchasing power transfer is real and directional: from your savings to the first spenders. Central banks perform a political function, not the economic function they advertise.
The institutional story of central banking is a government granting itself the power to manufacture its own revenue without a vote, and wrapping that power in the language of technocratic stabilization. Every financial crisis since 1913 has produced more Fed authority, larger balance sheets, and looser constraints, which means the incentive structure rewards failure with expansion.
Overheard at my local liberal-elite Massachusetts coffee shop:
A dad and grandfather were staging what sounded like a full-blown intervention for a teenage boy who had apparently told another kid, “Trump isn’t that bad”
They spent what felt like half an hour explaining their concerns before finally asking:
“Do you have anything to say for yourself, young man?”
The kid shrugged.
“I didn’t say I loved him. I just meant he isn’t Hitler.”
Dad seemed willing to accept that. Grandpa was not.
“Before you leave this coffee shop, you need to decide which side of history you want to be on.”
The kid looked him dead in the eyes and said:
“The not gay side.”
Dad and Grandpa looked like they were facing the headlights of a train but the gay barista nearly snorted coffee through his nose laughing.
Wholly Guacamole has no preservatives in it and it sits in the case for weeks. Here is how.
The ingredient list is Hass avocados, distilled vinegar, and under 2% water, jalapeno peppers, salt, dehydrated onion and granulated garlic.
The vinegar is there for more than flavor. It pulls the pH down low enough that bacterial spores can't grow, and that matters because pressure doesn't kill spores. Then the sealed package goes into a vessel full of water and the water gets pressurized to a level their own site describes as putting it at the bottom of the ocean. Because the pressure comes from every direction at once, the food is not crushed, just squeezed evenly. At that pressure the proteins inside bacteria and yeast unfold and stop working, so the product gets pasteurized without ever being heated.
Heat ruins fresh food. It turns avocado bitter and it cooks the fresh out of juice. Pressure kills the same bacteria and leaves the color and the flavor alone.
It's called high pressure processing or HPP. A lot of the refrigerated guacamole in the case gets it, and so does cold pressed juice and a lot of the deli meat that says no preservatives on the front.
Men tend to turn environments they dominate into hunting parties, locker rooms, or boxing rings. Women hate this. They find it threatening and vulgar, an "unsafe work environment." No more colorful jokes, boys, and take those pinup girls down off the wall.
Women turn every environment they dominate into a quilting bee ("meetings") or a kindergarten (HR struggle sessions, mandatory office fun time). Men hate this. They find it tiresome and infantilizing. Unless they're gay, or spiritually gay.
There's no squaring that circle. These are mutually incompatible environments. Establishing one precludes the other.
Wow. The Gumroad CEO restored my account, apologized, and thanked me for my work. Unfortunate this happened, but I really appreciate this gesture and it's the best possible outcome.
My Rails World keynote will be streaming in a few hours on YouTube. I dare say this one might ruffle a few feathers, but it also just needs to be said. https://t.co/M9RYFpjXLO
Opt out. Coming for ya!
You cannot take an organ from a cadaver. From a dead body. You have to be alive.
They appear to have changed the forms. Please check. Opt out. Tell family or they will be approached and you can be opted back in. The best organ donors? Under 30 years of age with a beating heart, a circulation and ideally on a ventilator. But they don’t care the documents we have read said to take everybody and it will be seen as practice They even take your long bones and replace them with broom handles… Yes, that is exactly what it states

@Polymarket Can't they just shave? Or maybe they are a Persian (Iranian,n) or Greek? Hairy people. Turkish people too. Chest hair for miles,,men & women.
The same day I exposed a massive MILLION-plus dollar alleged Somali daycare fraud scheme, Washington state Gov. Bob Ferguson announced a new $251 MILLION in funding for daycares.
This, after the state can’t account for over $430 million in taxpayer funds that have been distributed to daycares. https://t.co/KOPaaRECvz
From @ktrhnews: "U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico (D-TX) has been trying to walk back some of his most radical positions, like on gender and climate change. And the liberal left-wing media is all in.
Case in point, the leftist funded Texas Tribune, which wrote a lengthy propaganda piece on how Talarico will remain a moderate once he gets elected.
"The Tribune copy editors forgot how to spell, they clearly misspelled the word L-Y-I-N-G" said State Representative, Brian Harrison (R-TX), "Because moderating is not what he's doing."
If anyone would know, it's Harrison who has had to work alongside Talarico for years in the Texas House.
"I know James Talarico, I have for better or for worse served with him for many years now, and make know mistake about it, James Talarico is more liberal than Bernie Sanders" Harrison told KTRH.
Talarico's past comments, and voting records, back that up. So, it's no surprise that the 'mainstream' media is trying to help with his extreme makeover.
"I think he's more radical than that lunatic that he defeated, Jasmine Crockett" noted Harrison, "There has never been a more liberally extreme candidate who is more out of touch with the views of patriotic, hard working Texans, than James Talarico. He must be defeated at the ballot box."
Election Day is now just 41 days."
HOLY CR*P 🚨 Minnesota Rep Krista Knudsen says they just found out the state TURNED OFF tracking for money being sent overseas
They turned it on for 2 weeks. Saw all the money leaving, and Democrats quickly SHUT OFF TRACKING to allow it to keep happening
READ THAT AGAIN
“Today in the fraud committee, the Department of Human Services testified that they haven't been tracking the IP addresses of money that's being literally flown out of our state and where it's going.
They did turn on that reporting for 2 weeks, and they found that yes, a lot of those IP addresses were tied to overseas computers, and then they quickly shut it off after just 2 weeks of seeing where this money is actually going”
“Every time we turn around, it's just more and more fraud scandals in our state”

I want to go back to dismembering people for stealing just to see how many people would still risk it if it meant losing a finger.
Because I'd rather that then ask the associate to unlock the damn chicken because of retards like this.
If she joined the IDF, two things would happen:
1. Libs would all of a sudden have a problem with her killing kids
2. MAGA would all of a sudden have no problem with her killing kids
