Here’s a short article titled, “Once People Doubt the Legitimacy of Our Government, It’s Over“. I’m not sure I’ve read anything lately that so clearly characterizes the complete misunderstanding of what “OVER” really means. But first, riddle me this: Can there really be anyone left in the United States today, who possesses the means to get through tommorrow on their [...]

On Defining “OVER”
Genocidal Gods of Green
What a wonderful world it would be if a genocidal dictator wiped out half the world’s population … for the remaining half!

We all know that, whether it be currencies, or bonds, or derivatives, or all of the above, [...]
The Gift of Individual Sovereignty
