The Worst Tax: Who's Responsible For Skyrocketing Food Prices?

Government is always limited to how much it can tax the people directly. People will ultimately rebel against high taxes. So, as a workaround, a monopoly was granted to The Federal Reserve. If the government wants money, The Fed can just print it. The people will still pay for this, of course, but not directly. They'll pay when they see rising prices in the marketplace. The government can just blame something else as the cause. Inflation is the worst tax of them all.

Biden Declares 'National Emergency' - Blindsides Russia With Sanctions, Economic Warfare

Just two days after speaking with Russian President Putin by phone, and suggesting a summit, President Biden has hit Russia with another round of sanctions - including an attack on the Russian currency. The reasons given for this "national emergency" include the seven year old return of Crimea to Russian control and the still-unproven allegations of Russian election meddling, hacking, and placing bounties on US soldiers' heads in Afghanistan.

This California County Is Launching A 'Vaccine Passport'...Is Yours Next?

Orange County officials have announced that they are launching a "vaccine passport" system to make people feel "safe." While Biden has claimed no interest in a federal system, will increasing pressure, primarily from "blue" states, push the Administration to change its tune? Which state or county is next to demand us to "show your papers!"?

Two Front War? Three Fronts? What's Biden's Game in Taiwan, Iran, and Ukraine?

The Biden Administration is becoming even more bellicose toward Russia and China over "crises" in Taiwan and Ukraine. Meanwhile US-backed Israel is attacking Iranian nuclear facilities. During the Cold War the hawks always pushed for the ability to fight a two-front war. Can a US military already bogged down for 20 years fight a THREE front war? Will someone in Washington display some common sense?

Global Taxes – Global Stagnation

By Ron Paul

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has proposed that governments around the world require payment of at least a uniform “global minimum corporate tax.” A motivation for Yellen's push for a global minimum corporate tax is fear that the Biden administration’s proposed increase in the US corporate tax will cause some American corporations to flee the US for countries with lower corporate taxes.

President Biden wants to increase corporate taxes to help pay for his so-called infrastructure pla...

Major Covid Myth Destroyed - Is Freedom Winning?

The CDC has quietly added a link on its website to a new study showing that surface transmission of the virus is extremely rare. Even if a person touches a "contaminated" surface the chance of getting infected is only one in ten thousand! So much for the billions of dollars shelled out over the past year on disinfectants and sanitizers. Somebody got rich! Also today; More Fauci word salad and United Airlines dangerous new "wokeism."

Avoiding The "God-Complex" Trap

By Chris Rossini

Many who understand the superiority of the ideas of liberty simply give up. They see that the downward pull of totalitarianism continues at a relentless pace and come to the conclusion of "What's the point?"

This is an error in judgment.

The first error is in exclusively focusing on the effect. That is, in the expectation that your words are going to immediately change the minds of those around you who clamor for more authoritarianism. 

It is human nature to want the achievement of ...

The "War on Cash" Is Really A War on Freedom

"Vaccine Passports"? ... "War on Cash,"? ... The common thread is that these authoritarian ideas are war on our freedom. Total surveillance has been sought by authoritarians for thousands of years; always with the goal of trying to control how people move, or how they spend their money. The spread of the ideas of Liberty are necessary in order to save us from encroaching tyranny.

'New Normal'? Davos Billionaire Crowd Pushes Orwellian 'Smart Mask'

Just as many US states are seeing Covid numbers plummet, Klaus "trans-humanist" Schwab's World Economic Forum is pushing a new "smart mask" that not only tells you when to take a breath of fresh air: it also warns you to put it on if you've forgotten it. All tracked through your mobile phone. It is one more step toward China's Orwellian "social credit" system (in fact, the mask itself was developed by a Chinese firm!). And the billionaire elites want to shove it down our throats.

Texas Covid Crashes - Fauci Dumbfounded

A month after Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced an end to all coronavirus restrictions, covid numbers continue to crash in the state. While Fauci was quick to attack Abbott's move to open Texas, when asked this week why the doom he predicted did not come about he had no answer. Also today: Baseball is back in Texas and vaccine passports are ruled out.
