The Long Road From Fiat To Gold
Published: September 12, 2010
With few options left, this government will face numerous difficulties as its official fiat monetary system is consumed.

Fiat Money: Dual and Single Tier Systems
Published: September 4, 2010
There are those who advocate the restoration of a single-tier fiat system in this country as a solution to what they see as a bank-contrived system of fiat money. The fact is that those who advocate a system similar to the Greenback regime do so without apparently understanding either single or dual-tier fiat systems.

The Interposition of the Several States
Published: July 7, 2010
Interposition is a vital part of the Rights Reserved to the Several States and to the Citizens of those Free and Independent State Republics.

The Federal Claim to Supremacy [or how Supreme is the Supreme Court?]
Published: July 4, 2010
In questions of supremacy and sovereignty, the federal government has assumed its claim to be Constitutionally sound and valid however, upon closer examination that claim is suspect.

Economics-Obama Style
Published: June 16, 2010
The economics of plunder can never provide adequate stimulus to the markets, it can only divert capital and resources in an effort to make the appearance of recovery. When the final toll has been measured, this country will be far poorer and far less civil.

The Government's Claim To Sovereignty
Published: June 15, 2010
The claim to sovereignty and the assignments of such sovereignty do not belong to our government, either federal or State.

Lincoln's War On The Republic of Republics
Published: April 20, 2009
There is so much that is labeled history and yet, within those pages are some of the most distorted facts that it boggles the mind when one comes across the truth of the matter; in fact it shakes us from our former comfort and requires that we make the decision to either continue to blindly believe or to step into areas foreign to our neatly packaged view of history.

The Keynesian Illusionary Continuum
Published: February 12, 2009
Decades have proven that Washington, D.C. is filled with weakness and immense amounts of bad judgment, political officials who are willing to yield to various influences that are far from beneficial to this country and its People.

The Degenerative Nature of Keynesian Economics
Published: February 1, 2009
The last seventy years or so have proven the massive flaws in the official economic and monetary policies which are promoted by this government, but it appears that there are few who are either capable or willing to view these flaws regarding the solutions that are available to resolve those flaws.

Capitalism and the Poverty Fiction
Published: January 10, 2009
The government is no more the social worker of this country than it is the policeman of the world, it can only fail on both accounts; the reason for such failure is that the government was not created to fulfill such functions nor is it equipped to fulfill them.

Capitalism: Nemesis of The Welfare State
Published: January 10, 2009
There is nothing that The Welfare State hates or fears more than free-market Capitalism.

Capitalism, A Bulwark of Freedom
Published: January 9, 2009
Capitalism provides the best environment for the ideals of freedom and liberty, why then are so many government officials undermining it?

The Hyper-Inflationary Trigger
Published: November 26, 2008
Hyper-Inflation never happens during a BOOM, it is always the results of the response to a deep BUST.

The Gimme-Gimme Script of Political Pottage
Published: November 3, 2008
Perhaps the most interesting fact of this election is that the voters of both McCain and Obama, despite which ever wins, will be equally disappointed in the Presidential performance of their choice. The whipped-up dreams and hopes of the electorate will eventually find that their chosen one is unable to fulfill the promises made during the campaigns.

The Destructive Art of Inflation
Published: October 31, 2008
It should be obvious that the government, without reservation, will always abuse the powers of inflationary fiat creation and in turn it will always be forced to intervene because of the economic consequences of such inflationary policies.

The Federal Reserve Never Worked!
Published: October 26, 2008
If we are to judge any institution by its record, then it should be obvious that the Federal Reserve Banking System has been a dismal failure!

The United States Dollar Promises Nothing!
Published: October 16, 2008
Today, we have people who are seeking to find some artificial remedy for the troubles in which we now find ourselves in this contrived and manipulated economy. They seek to find a cure within the very system that is the cause of the ailment.

The Worn Out Text-Book Economist and Central Planners
Published: October 16, 2008
We seemed to be plagued with false theories, text-book economic mentalities and feckless remedies to our economic quagmire that these “economists” have been instrumental in creating.

Enemies
Published: October 15, 2008
When a government becomes destructive to the ends for which it was created, then it becomes the duty of the People to discard that government and replace it with one which will safe-guard the priciples of justice.

Fiat Money-Inflationary/Deflationary
Published: October 15, 2008
What are we to expect during this period of uncertainty?

Fabian Socialist=Criminals
Published: October 15, 2008
Conspiracy Theories abound, but let's take a closer look.

We Live Under Such Well-Crafted Illusions...
Published: September 5, 2008
The illusions of our money is perhaps on of the greatest illusions of all times. We look at the face value and all we see are "$" signs.

"it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government"
Published: August 23, 2008
Without economic and monetary freedom, and the liberty assocated with that freedom the People of this country can never realize their full potential. The strongest chain of oppression employed by government is that of monetary enslavement and economic management. There must come a time when we awaken, not only to our Right, but to our Duty!

Uncle Sam's Frivolous Fiat Fiasco/America's Irreversible State of Collapse!
Published: August 10, 2008
Historically, fiat inflation was realistically deemed extremely dangerous to the economic, social and political safety of a country, but as usual, the temptation for the unleashed power and the ability to use the fiat system to convert the labor of a population to unlimited wealth for those in charge of the money has always proven far too great to resist.

A Fabian Socialist Dream Come True
Published: August 4, 2008
The gradual revolution of the Fabian Socialists is quickly becoming a reality in America.

The Official Administration of Liberty-Part 1
Published: August 2, 2008
Liberty is far too dangerous to the People at large to be self-administered, at least that is the view most of our politicians take.

The Official Administration of Liberty-Part 2
Published: August 2, 2008
Liberty is far too dangerous to the People at large to be self-administered, at least that is the view most of our politicians take.

The Official Administration of Liberty-Part 3
Published: August 2, 2008
Liberty is far too dangerous to the People at large to be self-administered, at least that is the view most of our politicians take.

The Slow Creeping Vine of Economic Depression
Published: July 19, 2008
Since the 30s, the government, in conjunction with the Federal Reserve, has increasingly narrowed the “sweet-spot” of economic viability.

The Same Game for 50 Years!
Published: June 17, 2008
The political stage play continues, the same game played over and over on the American People every four years. The same issues, the same problems, the same promises and the same un-workable solutions to the problems that the government itself creates.

The Federal Breach Of Trust
Published: May 3, 2008
History has proven that there are those who have sought to subvert and, in effect, dismantle the Constitutional Republic. Additionally, there are those, even today, that will defend such abhorrent actions by the government, as such it is a Breach of Trust, their argument is foiled by their own ignorance.

Sovereignty Is The Highest Degree Of Political Power
Published: April 28, 2008
When the federal government assumes the attributes of Sovereignty it naturally gravitates toward ownership of the Individual.

Freedom Contingent Upon Compliance Is Not Freedom!
Published: April 20, 2008
It is imperative to understand that this country is formed solely upon the Sovereignty of the People themselves and that in that Sovereignty, they have, out of both necessity and desire, come together to form communities of governments to act both on their behalf and upon their Consent.

An Inconvenient History-War for Southern Independence-Part2
Published: April 16, 2008
Slavery was an evil institution in this country, both in the North and the South however, we fail to understand the real issues concerning the War Between the States.

An Inconvenient History-War for Southern Independence-Part1
Published: April 16, 2008
"If I have a superstition, sir, which governs my mind and holds it captive, it is a superstitious reverence for the Union. If one can inherit a sentiment, I may be said to have inherited this from my revolutionary father." Jeff Davis

9/11-Psychological Terror
Published: April 12, 2008
Questions with few answers. 9/11 has proved to be one of the pivotal moments in our country's history. I must wonder where it will take us?

Statism: The Bankrupt Ideology
Published: April 4, 2008
"Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government."--James Madison

Rights Retained by the People.
Published: April 3, 2008
"All Power exercised over a nation, must have some beginning. It must be either delegated, or assumed. There are no other sources. All delegated power is trust, all assumed power is usurpation. Time does not alter the nature and quality of either." Thomas Paine

The Bloodline of Tyranny
Published: April 2, 2008
The Bloodline of Tyranny can be traced back in this country to a mentality that formed within the circles of power that began to consolidate during the Constitutional Convention.

The 17th Amendment and the Nationalized Senate
Published: April 2, 2008
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

Peace, The Enemy Of The State
Published: December 8, 2007
Tyranny is the logical conclusion of every people who lose the sense of their Natural Rights, and it appears that is, for most Americans, the case. As with every threat, the governments response to that threat determines the extent our Rights are affected. Although I am sure that there are very real threats in the world, the “War on Terror” is just another in a long line of threats that has been effectively used by government “Statists” over the last two centuries, used to their advantage over the People.

The Ultimate Guardian of The Constitution
Published: December 8, 2007
The government endlessly promotes itself as the "protector" and ultimate guardian of Our Constitution and the Rights guaranteed by that document; it is, of course, not true. The cloak, behind which it hides, is wearing thin as it continually expands its interest and authority over the People while ignoring the Law of the Land.

They Prefer Our Silence To Our Consent
Published: December 8, 2007
The present disposition of this government toward the People, in matters of their ability to both determine and maintain their own lives within the confidence of Liberty, is that of complete and abject opposition. Under the disease of widespread complacency, We have surrendered our combative Right of Dissent and indeed the Right of Defense against any and all onslaughts of Our Freedom by the very institution designed and pledged to protect such Freedom.

The Voluntary Act Of A Reflective Union Of States
Published: December 8, 2007
Once again I want to bring up the superior system of the Republic in respects to the equal application of the Rights of all Citizens. The erosion of this extremely important principle from the governance of this country has been devastating to the cause of the individual, no matter what race, creed or gender.

The State Desires Divisions
Published: December 8, 2007
The State always seeks to create and maintain divisions within society, it allows the State to control and direct society with ease while allowing the people a measure of contingent freedom based upon compliance.

The Ease Of Power
Published: December 8, 2007
When we allow a very relative interpretation and application of Constitutional principles to prevail then not only will power seek the level of its own expression, but, in every case, the People will end up being the ones to eventually suffer the consequences of such relativity.

The Dangers of Machiavellian Jingoism
Published: December 8, 2007
While we have been conditioned that it is patriotic to accept a history that portrays our country in the best light possible, the real patriotism however, is looking at our history honestly and even critically, by doing so we will learn from those lessons, both from the successes and the failures it provides.

When Our Money Was Our Property
Published: December 8, 2007
There was a time in our country when our money was our property. It was more than just a medium of exchange or an economic instrument; it was, in a very real sense, property. When a man labored he received compensation in value equal to his work, his produce or his creativity; the money he earned was his property, just as anything else he owned. He could be assured that his money was a store of real value, he could spend it as he pleased, he could store in a bank, stuff it in his mattress or bury it in a mason jar in his back yard and it was no ones business but his own.

Dangerous Consequences
Published: December 8, 2007
For over 109 years this country has pursued a policy of intervention around the globe and if you honestly research the outcome of such intervention you will quickly see that it did very little to actually provide security for this nation.

Lest We Foget
Published: December 8, 2007
If men of disloyal inclinations, covetous and filled with avarice are allowed to govern with impunity, as they are now, they will naturally violate the Rights of their fellow Citizens, and under every pretense of good government they will increase their holdings of power to the point that it will cease to regard the Citizen as anything more than a resource for their use.

Contingent Freedom
Published: December 8, 2007
Our ability to live Free is not, nor was it ever intended to relieve the responsibility of each man to determine his own direction in life, nor to provide a safety net for those lives. Our primary Freedom is the Freedom from government intervention and interference. Under the Founding philosophy, the political Sovereignty exists only in and through the People themselves, not in a governmental body.
