 Who paid for the Civil War  |
| When war broke out in 1861, the federal government was without its own money machine, though that would soon change. As expenses from the war mounted, the U.S. government once again issued Treasury Notes to help finance it. The Act of July 17, 1861 authorized Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase to issue notes at 7.Friday, May 22, 2020 |

| Inflation Inferno I |
| Throughout history, governments have fought against the use of sound money. In 1912, Ludwig vonMises identified the reason for this:
The sound-money principle has two aspects. It is affirmative in approving the market's choice of a commonly-used medium of exchange. It is negative in obstructing the government's propensity to meddle with the currency system.Saturday, April 11, 2020 |

The civilized world, such as it was, took a nosedive after the Sarajevo assassinations in 1914 ignited the political tinderbox in Europe. To pay for the massive slaughter that followed, states abandoned gold and turned to inflationary finance and borrowing, in addition to heavy taxation.

The Year is 1910; America had gone through three Central Banks. The bankers are tired of picking up the losses and at the same time the people are calling for breaking the power grip of the Banking Trust.
The bankers (J.P. Morgan, Rockefellers, Warburg’s of Germany & the Rothschild’s of Europe) , who are competitors , put their differences aside and decided to have the meeting.

| This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse
Even though the nations of the world are very deeply divided on almost everything else, somehow virtually all of them have been convinced that central banking is the way to go. Today, less than 0.1% of the population of the world lives in a country that does not have a central bank. Do you think that there is any possible way that this is a coincidence? And it is also not a coincidence that we are now facing the grFriday, October 20, 2017 |

| Gold Distributes Wealth, Central Bank Fiat Concentrates It |
| The fruits of increased productivity used to be distributed across society. Everyone benefited as the economy became more productive, new technologies emerged and new industries were born. Prosperity spread across society as jobs were created, poverty was reduced and a robust and thriving middle class emerged in America.
Then came the 1970’s and something suddenly changed. Wages decoupled from productivity and workers no longer benefited from improvements in the economy. This trend has continuedThursday, September 7, 2017 |

| Why The Markets Are Overdue For A Gigantic Bust |
| Let me begin with a caveat: confirmation bias is an ever-present risk for an analyst such as myself.
If you're not familiar with the term, 'confirmation bias' suggests that once we've invested time and emotional energy into developing a worldview, we'll then seek information to confirm that view.
After writing about the economy for so many years, I'm now so convinced that we can't print our way to prosperity that I find myself seeing signs confirming this view everywhere, every single day. SoSaturday, June 10, 2017 |

| The Irony: Kathy Griffin Cries About Being Threatened With Death After Beheaded Trump Pic: “This Is America… You Shouldn’t Have To Die For It” |
| Comedienne Kathy Griffin gave a press conference this morning following the outrage stemming from her recent photo shoot depicting a bloody and beheaded President Trump.
To be clear, we fully support Griffin’s right to expression. Despite her insensitive and outrageous “artistic” display, it is this very act that our First Amendment is designed to protect. The First Amendment, however, does not protect Griffin from the consequences of her actions, namely the right of the public to be outraged anMonday, June 5, 2017 |

| Is This Supposed To Be Funny: Trump’s Severed Head Featured In New Kathy Griffin Photo Shoot ***GRAPHIC IMAGERY*** |
| Over the past few months, we’ve all seen plenty of has-been celebrities make ugly, and often violent statements toward President Trump. But what you’re about to see takes the cake.
On Tuesday, images of a photo shoot involving “comedian” Kathy Griffin surfaced, which show her holding up a fake bloody Trump head. The photos were taken by Tyler Shields, who is known for producing shocking images. Since then, both liberals and conservatives have condemned the stunt, and many Trump supporters have cWednesday, May 31, 2017 |

| The Federal Reserve Is Destroying America |
| Perhaps I should start with a disclaimer of sorts. Yes, I realize that the people working at the Federal Reserve, as well as the other central banks around the world, are just people. Like the rest of us, they have egos, fears, worries, hopes, and dreams. I'm sure pretty much all of them go home each night believing they are basically good and caring individuals, doing important work.
But they're destroying America. They might have good intentions, but they are working with bad models. Ones thSaturday, May 27, 2017 |

| Venezuela is a naturally rich nation. It's ranked seventh worldwide

country that deserves, more than most, to thrive. However, as in all
countries, it passes through economic cycles and, when on a downward
curve, would-be leaders take the opportunity to claim that the "greedy
rich" have sent the economy into a tailspin (which can sometimes be the
case) and that the solution is to adopt a collectivist approach to

| The Election That Had No Winner - Jeff Nielson |
| The United States held a general election on Tuesday. Nobody
won. Many will claim that Donald Trump won the election, as he is the person
who gets to call himself “president” today. However, such a conclusion clearly
flies in the face of the facts.
How did Donald Trump ever win the Republican nomination, in
the first place? He won because the Establishment of the Republican Party had intentionally
