“Close the public schools forever”  |
| From everything I read you would think we were incapable of solving social problems.
In truth, we find matters only getting worse because the proposed solutions always involve the culprit, the state, taking more control over our lives.
The state is a box we desperately need to think outside of if we’re ever going to establish civil relations among people. We would do well to remember that the state is absolutely not in the business of making our lives better. It is an institution appendedWednesday, March 7, 2018 |

| Pod People and the Matrix |
| The two greatest science fiction movies of the 20th century are Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and The Matrix (1999). Both are seminal cinematic efforts that portray big ideological truths about the dangers of modernity and tyranny, and they do so with relentless hammer blows of frightful eeriness.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers involves an extraterrestrial invasion in which mysterious plant spores have settled onto earth and then hatch into sinister leafy pods that migratSunday, March 4, 2018 |

| Mike Kosares: Gold and silver predictions for 2018 |
| GATA's struggle against gold price suppression by governments and central banks has been going on so long that if we're asked for predictions we're most likely to recall the one offered to Winston Smith, the hero of George Orwell's "1984," by the government thug O'Brien: "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- forever."
So maybe we can be forgiven for calling attention to a little optimism for advocates of free markets in the monetary metals, the predictiTuesday, January 2, 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 |

Gold EFPs: Absolute Proof that the Paper Gold Price is a Fraud  |
| In recent months, the issuance of gold Exchange for Physical (EFP) contracts has surged. EFPs convert a physically deliverable Comex gold contract into an LBMA or LME contract supposedly deliverable at a later date ex London and/or Hong Kong. As an incentive for Comex contract holders to accept EFPs, a cash bonus reportedly is paid. EFPs in silver are also being issued in vast quantities, but we will focus on gold for brevity.Most gold market observers believe that EFPs are a Comex gimmick desigMonday, December 18, 2017 |

| The Triumph of Collectivism - Jeff Thomas |
| The French Revolution began in 1789. Maximilien Robespierre was one
of its most eager proponents. An extreme left-winger, he sought a
totalitarian rule that claimed to be “for the people” (echoing the
recently successful American revolution), but in reality was “for the
rulers.” He in turn inspired Karl Marx, author of
The Communist Manifesto.
Both Robespierre and Marx had been well-born and well-educated, but
rather spoiled and, as young adults, found that they had no particular

 Nietzsche, Trump, and the Political Left  |
| The German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, warned us back in the 19th century with his famous theme, the “Transvaluation of Values.” An ominous world dictatorship was coming where good would become evil, and evil good. Freedom would be thought of as slavery, and slavery would become freedom.
He “boldly prophesied that power politics and vicious wars were in store for the future. What he sensed was an approaching period of nihilism, the seeds of which had already been sown.” [1]

Mises stands between us and 1984  |
| On this day in 1949 Yale University Press published Ludwig von Mises’s economic treatise, Human Action. Later in 1949 another book appeared, George Orwell’s 1984.
Almost everyone has at least heard of Orwell and 1984. The same is unfortunately not true of Mises and Human Action.
Both books are attached to their authors as if they were extended surnames. Orwell is 1984, Mises is Human Action.
Among the many who’ve read it, 1984 is regarded as a premonition of what could happen if thFriday, September 15, 2017 |

| DEBT SLAVERY + FAKE MONEY = FINAL COLLAPSE |
| Over the last 150 years, the West has gone from human slavery to debt slavery. Slavery was officially outlawed in most countries between the mid 1800s and early 1900s. In the British Empire, it was abolished in 1834 and in the US in 1865 with the 13th amendment.
But it didn’t take long for a different and much more subtle form of slavery to be introduced. It started officially in 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York. More than 100 years before that, the German banker MaMonday, August 7, 2017 |

| CASSANDRA, CENTRAL BANKS and GOLD |

The general public doesn’t like hearing what some of us who are Cassandras have to say. Because our message is does not fit in with the choir of propaganda and lies. We are predicting a future for the world which is unpleasant for most people and therefore few believe our predictions. It is part of human nature to believe that the current state of affairs will go on forever. And that is the case whether times are good or bad. In bad times, everyone believes that it will nFriday, June 9, 2017 |

| No Exit |
| A most curious feature in the current low state of American politics is the delusional thinking at both ends of the political spectrum. Both factions have gone off the rails mentally, and the parties they represent race toward oblivion like Thelma and Louise in their beater car. More ominously, there are no new factions with a grip on reality even beginning to form anywhere in the background — as in the 1850s when the Whigs foundered and the party of Lincoln segued into power.

| These Powder Kegs Are About To Blow: “Trump Needs To Halt The Downward Spiral That Obama Orchestrated” |
| President Trump just took a trip to Saudi Arabia in an effort to obsequiously “shore up” the ties. Expected. It is expected for any U.S. president to “recertify” the Petrodollar and the commitments to protect the House of Saud that were initiated by Kissinger and Nixon almost five decades ago. Times change, and administrations change; however, the systems in place are very slow and resistant to modification.

| Gold Standard Challenges |
| Scattered recent analysis has centered upon the Gold Standard and its viability within the global financial system. The topic is certainly very blurred and at times confusing. Consider a recent article by a competent analyst Charles Hugh Smith of the site OfTwoMinds on the practicality of gold used as a standard. The article is entitled “The Problem With Gold-Backed Currencies” (which is found HERE and also on Lew Rockwell site HERE). He makes several points, many good ones.

| The System Needs To Reset and It Will Be Painful - Rory Hall/Dave Kranzler |
| To anyone who has researched the facts in search of “the truth,” it’s
painfully obvious that the U.S. political and financial system needs to
be reset. The most productive way to do this would be be build a wall
around Capitol Hill and Wall Street, burn them to the ground and move
the new Government capitol somewhere far from the east coast. In many
ways, it’s quite fitting that the U.S. Government is physically situated
on what was formerly swamp land because the Government itself has

| Big Brother In America Is The Media - Dave Kranzler |
| One of the hallmarks of a totalitarian political regime is control of
the media. In 1996, President Bill Clinton signed into law the
Telecommunications Act of 1996. This law, which was bought and paid for
by corporate media lobbies, allowed big corporations to acquire and
consolidate media outlets nationwide.
The 1996 law lifted the limit on the number of television and radio
stations any one corporation could own. In 2003, the FCC voted to lift
