Now that I’ve seen the actual speech, albeit in bits and pieces, I can honestly say that I’ve never seen anything so unbecoming of a sitting president in my 52 years on earth. Chastising Congress, in the manner of a really BAD grade school teacher, and comparing them to errant children arriving to class with their home work [...]

Benko gets it, as does Steve Forbes. Sprott and Embry get it. Mundell gets it (obviously) as does Blanchard. The gold standard is the key to human flourishing. If we grasp the opportunity of gold convertibility this still-dawning millennium beckons with the possibility of becoming a new golden age. So true, except that our memory [...]

So apparently Barama’s artificial economy is on auto-pilot as the perpetual candidate focuses on the only job he seems to really care about - RE-ELECTION. If that shameful display isn’t his undoing for 2012, then you can add “rigged elections” to our increasingly corrupt, soviet-style, political and socio-economic collapse in the U.S. Nero fiddled.

But, people do grow into their positions, and change, as they are exposed to certain realities, no matter their age [...]

When a great body of people is rendered ”mentally incapable of comprehending” a particular notion, that gap in understanding is often the result of “conditioning” or “propagandizing” or “social norming” by a much smaller body of people who stand to gain something from that gap. In the case of what many of us consider to be the [...]
