On this day 110 years ago, the Federal Reserve was created.
Since then, the US Dollar has lost more than 97% of its value.
Put another way, the US government and Federal Reserve have stolen 97% of your wealth, before you pay a penny in taxes.
It is long past time to end the Fed and get government out of the money business, for good.
Sometime soon, the economy is going to have a massive correction.
If this is allowed to happen without bailouts or intervention from government, prices will fall, deflation will set in, and the ruling class who set these conditions in motion will lose the most.
Which is why they'll push hard for bailouts, which you'll be made to pay for, with interest.
The government and corporate media will pull out every stop to fearmonger you into supporting it.
They'll tell you that if they don't get their bailouts, you'll lose everything.
It's a lie.
The truth is, if they get their bailouts, you'll lose more, they'll get it all, and prices will continue to rise.
Reject their lies, and demand that elected officials let the correction happen without any bailouts.
To be clear, when the correction comes, things will be tough for most people. Joblessness, depletion of savings, temporary increases in poverty.
If bailouts happen too, all of that will be worse, and the people who created those conditions will be rewarded for doing it.
Which is an incentive for them to do it again. And again. And again.
But if the bailouts don't happen, and the "too big to fail" banks and corporations collapse, so will prices, and smaller competitors will have an opportunity to rise.
Companies who didn't engage in reckless business practices will be rewarded with larger market shares and more profit.
Those of you who've saved and waited for a chance to own a home or business will have that opportunity.
And the jobs will come back, this time without prices outstripping income.
And there will be NO incentive for banks and policymakers to play fast and loose with the economy again.
The boom-bust-bailout cycle ends now, with us.
You want to be able to afford food, fuel and other basic necessities again?
You want to be able to buy a home?
Then demand no bailouts.
Only support officials and candidates who refuse to bail out a single crony.
Let them suffer the consequences of what they created for a change.
President Trump offers his solution to solving the dramatic increase in looting and organized retail theft:
"We will immediately stop all of the pillaging and theft. Very simply if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store."
The Anaheim crowd responded by chanting "Trump, Trump, Trump!"
1. Read the 9th Amendment.
2. Even if the Constitution explicitly prohibited it, we wouldn't care.
We don't seek permission to defend ourselves in whatever manner we see fit.
And thanks to 3D printing, your opinion is only relevant if you decide to stack up and try to do something about it.
I wouldn't recommend that though.
One of the great tweets of all time
"Yes, sure, gay dudes naked on bikes in front of children is happening. But if it weren't, the Right would just AI it into existence. So we shouldn't stop doing it."
Listen up gun owners!!
If the IRS or police come to your house.....
Know your rights!!
1) Never answer any questions.
Example: Hello, I'm IRS agent Smith. We would like to verify a handgun purchase that you made at ABC gun store.
Your Response - I don't answer questions.
IRS agent Smith:
Do you mind if we come in and check your weapons?
Home Owner:
I don't consent to any searches
or seizure of my property.
IRS agent: Why?
Home owner: I don't answer questions.
IRS agent: Can I get your I.D. so I can document who I spoke with.
Home owner:
No, you can't see my I.D. unless
you have reasonable articulable suspicion that I've committed a crime.
IRS Agent: Well, we are investigating, so I need your I.D.
Home Owner: The law states I only have to show you my ID, If and when you have reasonable articulable suspicion that I have committed a crime.
Pass it on!!

The presidential campaign slogans aren't doing it for me so far.
Make America Great Again
Build Back Better
Leading The Great American Comeback
They all sound just fine at first, but at their core, their message is the same:
"Vote for me, and I'll use government to improve things."
And that's a lie.
Government can do 2 things:
1. Get out of our way, so we can make things better.
2. Get in our way, and make everything worse.
We do better without their involvement than with it, because we operate out of respect for each other's lives, boundaries, and well-being.
But when they show up and rob us, lie to us, threaten us, harm us and inject political division into everything, they just screw things up.
We wouldn't tolerate it from a home intruder or pickpocket, and we shouldn't tolerate it from them.
So instead of a slogan that promises more government "help", how about something completely different?
I'm thinking something like...
Respect The People
Make it clear that the best way for things to get better is for them to simply respect you, let you live your life, and stay out of your way.
Because you know better what you need than any stranger, especially one who extorts and threatens for a living.
In fact, if we don't tolerate common criminals who extort and threaten us, why would we tolerate it from anyone else?
Yeah, I think Respect The People would make a good presidential slogan.
What do you think?
Imagine if you earned 31.35 times what you earn now, and everything still costs what it currently does.
How much more would you be able to afford?
How much less financial stress would you have?
Now, imagine if you had always earned that much more.
And your parents earned about 20 times more than they did.
And your grandparents earned about 10 times more.
Imagine the generational wealth you'd have now.
That's how much the Federal Reserve has robbed you.
How did they do this?
By printing out more money, without tying it to anything of value.
When more money is in circulation, chasing the same products, it takes more of that money to buy those products.
That's why the increase in prices is called inflation, because it's caused by the inflation of the money supply.
Why did they do this?
Because they made sure that they, and their powerful friends, get the lion's share of all that newly-printed money.
Remember in 2020, when they handed out trillions to big businesses, and gave you $1200, and then stuck you with the bill for all of it?
And remember a year or so later, when the price of everything went through the roof.
Yeah. That's how that scam works.
As long as government is in control of the supply of money, they will use it to keep themselves and their billionaire sponsors wealthy at your expense.
But if money was provided by competing providers, they'd have a vested interest in their currency retaining its value, or even gaining value, so that you'd use theirs instead of the competition's.
Look at how Bitcoin has gained in value in the past 10 years, and compare it to how the dollar has lost value.
That's the difference between government and the free market.
Not only do we need to end the Fed, we need to get government out of the money business.
End the theft, for good.
Had the idea of a "never ending story" kid's TV series where every episode is an adventure in a different book, but I have no idea who to pitch that idea to
