 Les ennemis gauchistes de la liberté  |
| L’une des ironies les plus tragiques de l’Histoire est qu’au moment où est née la liberté en Amérique, avec l’adoption de la Constitution en 1787, au lendemain de la signature de la Déclaration d’indépendance, le concept de liberté lui-même a été menacé par les philosophes européens qui ont coulé les fondations de l’étatisme des temps modernes. L’idéologie est maîtresse de l’Histoire. Les sociétés humaines sont façonnées par les idées qui prévalent sur les grands esprits de leur temps. Ainsi, la liberté en tant que concept philosophique est aujourd’hui en retrait de par le monde, y compris aux Etats-Unis.lundi 6 avril 2020 |

| Gros chantier |
| Après le passage de l’ouragan Katrina en 2005, il a fallu attendre plus d’une semaine pour que l’étendue des dégâts puisse être évaluée, et il en ira de même pour le chantier dans lequel baigne désormais Houston. Il est notamment inconcevable que l’activité commerciale qui a fait d’Houston la quatrième plus grande ville des Etats-Unis et, selon Chris Martenson, l’équivalent de la dixième plus grosse économie du monde, redevienne un jour ce qu’elle était avant le 26 août 2017.vendredi 8 septembre 2017 |

 « Cette guerre que vous avez commandée… » |
| Le gaslighting du public américain se poursuit, et le manipulateur émotionnel en chef, le The New York Times, continue d’attiser la paranoïa de la menace russe.*
Voilà qui me rappelle une vielle tactique de pêche à la mouche appelée « éclosion artificielle ». Les truites aiment se gaver de nymphes d’éphémères communes qui remontent à la surface de nappes d’eaux et se libèrent de leurs coquilles larvaires pour prendre leur envol en tant qu’adultes ailés. C’est là quelque chose qu’elles font en groupe, à un moment particulier de la journée, dépendamment de leur sous-espèce. Cette « éclosion » provoque chez les truites une véritable frénésie alimentaire.mercredi 12 avril 2017 |

| La Fed a-t-elle un jour été une bonne idée |
| Selon certains libertaires, la Réserve fédérale aurait à l’origine été une institution saine qui, au fil des années, se serait laissée corrompre. Elle ne représentait autrefois pas un grand danger en tant que banque de toutes les banques, mais pour ce qui est du monstre qu’elle est devenue, c’est une tout autre histoire. Si seulement nous pouvions en revenir à la charte de fondation de la Fed, pensent-ils, tout irait de nouveau très bien…jeudi 29 septembre 2016 |

Among other things, the FTC's new rules prohibit oil market participants from making misleading statements or intentionally omitting information that could affect prices.
