It Wasn't "Different This Time"...It Was Worse & The Fed Will Fail

It's never "different this time." The Fed's bubbles and busts keep coming and they're getting more intense. Every bubble is bigger than the previous one, as is every "bailout." Every "bailout" carries with it a promise for a future economic crisis. The Fed will fail.

The One-Size-Fits-All Syndrome

By Chris Rossini

Every single human being is a one-of-a-kind creation. There are no carbon copies.

The way that each of us look at, and interpret the world, is completely unique to ourselves. When any event occurs, your explanation to yourself about what it means will be influenced by your prior experience, by what you've been taught in the past and accepted as true (even if, in reality, it is false).

Since no human individual is all-knowing or omnipotent, it means we all walk around with some...

The Coronavirus Profiteers

Now that the coronavirus scare has much of the country fearful and sheltered-in-place, there are more than a few special interests that are profiting massively from the "Emergency State" that has emerged. Crony capitalists, corporate criminals, Keynesians, big brother government advocates, previously unknown minor county officials...there is plenty of profit to go around.

Will Coronavirus Bring Down The US War Machine? Not If Pompeo Can Help It...

While major military exercises have been cancelled in Europe due to coronavirus fears, the US has decided to continue with war games in the Middle East aimed at making war on Iran. On the home front, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is using the virus to fight a hybrid war on Iran and other US 'enemies.' Will kicking them while they're down really work to our advantage?

Like Freedom? Then You Won’t Like the FREEDOM Act

By Ron Paul

Last Monday, a bipartisan group of Senators and a coalition including libertarian and progressive activists thwarted a scheme to ram through the Senate legislation renewing three provisions of the USA FREEDOM Act (previously known as the USA PATRIOT Act). The bill had already been rushed through the House of Representatives, and most expected it to sail through the Senate. But, instead, Senate leadership had to settle for a 77-day extension.

Senate leadership was also forced to...

The End of Civilization?

By Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

This makes people flock to emergency rooms and doctors offices. And, this comes on top of the challenge already facing the...
