The Tea Party Nation's Sellout   October 26, 2011
The original Tea Party movement was vehemently anti-establishment. It has now been co-opted by the neocon agenda of Gingrich, Armey, et al in Washington. There are reasons for this, which only one in a hundred perceive.

Musings on GOP Follies   October 19, 2011
The Republican aspirants for President in 2012 come before us with a lot of promises. Are they legitimate patriots, or are they statist humbugs pulling the wool over the eyes of American voters?

Political Pygmies and Mad Hatters   April 17, 2011
New Rome is burning and our congressional mountebanks fiddle. We are running $1,500 billion deficits, and our solons in Washington argue over $38 billion cuts. Is it hyperbole to declare them to be pygmies? I think not.

Who Will Be Our Modern Day Jefferson?   February 1, 2011
Americans need to find a modern day Jefferson to stop the runaway freight train of government growth that the Demopublicans are riding. The freight train can be stopped, but it will require the right candidate and the right political strategy. Here is how to do it in 2012.

Cultural Marxism: The Corruption of America   August 9, 2010
Karl Marx's "economic" philosophy of revolution failed to ignite the workers of the world to give up their independence, but his progeny have fashioned a "cultural" philosophy of revolution, and they have taken over our country with it during the past 70 years.

The Skeptical Train to Tyranny   July 15, 2010
Tyranny takes over a society when its intellectuals begin to doubt that there are universal moral truths. This doubt has been fomented throughout the West by academics in our universities for over 150 years. The chickens are now coming home to roost.

The Charlie Brown Conservatives   May 12, 2010
The world is full of guile because it is full of fools. Thus life for us as individuals and societies keeps running off the road into messy ditches of disaster. American politics today demonstrates this fact all too clearly.

Saving America from Corporate-Statism   April 28, 2010
Our society slouches toward Gomorrah and the death spiral of ancient Rome. Yet there are signs of hope -- significant signs of an awakening desire to face up to the truth, in other words, to face the root causes of our problems.

The Daily Bell -- Nelson Hultberg Interview   January 19, 2010
Mr. Hultberg explains why the Conservative American Party is so necessary to America and how its revolutionary "Two Pillars Strategy" of tax and monetary reform will stop the growth of the Leviathan cold and begin the restoration of the Republic.

Treason From the Left   May 30, 2009
A review of Matt Bracken's exciting novel, Foreign Enemies and Traitors, about Americanist freedom fighters clashing with Washington globalists over what we are to be -- a sovereign nation, or a compliant colony of an Orwellian world government.

The Plague of the Witch Doctors   February 11, 2008
The boys at the Fed are very good at sophistry to cover up the ideological criminality of their cartel. Unfortunately our establishment media are very bad at deciphering sophistry.

Keynesian Chickens Coming Home   January 28, 2008
Today's financial tremors erupting throughout the world are trying to tell us that the Keynesian paradigm is, like all huckster schemes of "easy wealth," a fraud. Sadly, only the discerning few are listening.

The Smear Campaign against Ron Paul   January 16, 2008
Congressman Paul is no Saint Francis of Assisi. What he is is a modern day Cincinnatus, fully human and prone to imperfections -- but a political warrior who stands like a majestic oak of clarity and sanity in defense of the American ideal.

Paul's Revolt Against the Demopublicans   January 7, 2008
What is coming is a dynamic expansion of the Ron Paul Revolution well beyond 2008. The Internet is going to light up the sky with this cause. The Founders' vision has found its champion.

Tribute to Aaron Russo   August 26, 2007
Aaron Russo spoke truth to power. He was a tough, principled, fearless fighter willing to stare down the monstrous IRS and the Orwellian powers behind the Federal Reserve without blinking an eye.

Motives of Enslavement   April 30, 2007
Why do so many men and women in America today succumb to the modern zeitgeist and willingly -- almost gleefully -- vote away their freedom, their rights, and their earnings?

True Conservatism vs. Neo-Conservatism   December 20, 2006

Not Just for the 19th Century   February 7, 2006
The intellectual heritage of Locke, Smith and Jefferson gave to America its grand idealism and must be revived for the 21st century. The principles that built our nation are also needed to sustain her.

Controlling Gold Over Time   December 19, 2005
The Fed and its mega-bank agents are suppressing the price of gold in a last frantic effort to ward off the price explosion that must come because of their fiat money blizzard over the past 35 years.

Modern Liberals' Horrid Legacy   December 7, 2005
There is a spectre haunting our world today ushering in a malevolence that portends a coming dark age. The spectre is moral relativism.

Remembering Young Palmer   November 20, 2005
It was during those free and easy years of the fifties when he started. He was like the America that had spawned him -- bold, rugged, self-assured, kind of a blacksmith and riverboat gambler rolled into one.

The Lure of Ersatz Individualism   October 25, 2005
Are Dennis Rodman, Howard Stern, and Larry Flynt American individualists? Hardly. We have let the liberals define individualism as "anarchical expressionism" rather than the Founders' concept of "self-reliance."

Last of the Intrepid Americans   October 10, 2005
What the WW II generation had was old fashioned "sovereignty of being," a concept totally alien to baby boomers who came of age in the mass hippie paroxysm of the 60's and its subsequent evolution into Nanny State liberalism.

Monetary Elephants in the Living Room   October 5, 2005
The Rothbardians' recent attack on the use of "real bills" to accompany a gold monetary system is loaded with misperceptions. They ignore the difference between free-market banking and government managed banking.

Musings on Fekete and Rothbard   September 27, 2005

Is Fractional-Reserve Banking Fraudulent?   September 19, 2005
Is it fraud for bankers to loan in excess of their gold reserves? This issue is being grossly misunderstood by freedom defenders today.

Real Bills vs. Rothbard's 100% Gold System   September 6, 2005
By fighting against the Real Bills Doctrine of Adam Smith, Rothbardians have ensnared themselves in a monumental contradiction: They are fighting against a free-market form of money.

The Political Spectrum Con   August 1, 2005
What Americans are being taught today as the political left, center, and right is a severe distortion of the facts of reality. Political truth is being warped by the collectivists in our colleges and in our media.

Real Bills, Gold, and the Big Picture   July 25, 2005
If we are to ever restore freedom to our lives, we must be able to view both the theory and history of gold as money. Too many libertarians today fail to do this.

Cranks in the Gold Community   July 11, 2005
Robert Blumen and today's monetarists are egregiously in error when they condemn Adam Smith's Real Bills Doctrine. Gold cannot function as money without it.

Why Gold Rigging Is Ignored by the Media   June 7, 2005
There are no laws to suppress freedom of the press in America today, yet we have a muzzled press in this country. What has created this dangerous dilemma?

Gold Darkness Before the Dawn   May 1 ,2005

How to End the Income Tax and the IRS   April 15 ,2005
A four-step plan to totally abolish these two dreadful burdens from America -- peacefully without chaotic disruption of the system. Such a reform will dramatically change the lives of every one of us for the better.

A review of Ilana Mercer's, Broad Sides. Mercer's prose is 44 Magnum force with insights like silver bullets. She shows us the way back to Jefferson and the Founders' legacy.

The Cassandras and the Optimists   May 10, 2004
Which of the two disasters -- inflation or deflation -- will descend upon us as our economy melts down over the next decade? Is there reason for optimism?

Greenspan's Choice: Scylla or Charybdis?   April 26, 2004

The New Carpetbaggers   April 4, 2004
Northeastern Republicans (the Rockefellers, the Bushes, the Greenspans, etc.) are today's carpetbaggers. They have come south to enhance their power in Washington.

Economic Meltdown, Secessionist Crackup?   December 15, 2003

Apocalypse This Way Comes   September 2, 2003
Today's financial columnists mistakenly think what is coming will be like past recessions. But what is looming up ahead is far deeper and more systemic. It stems from the great Keynesian theoretical flaw regarding fiat money and debt.

A stimulating discussion with a German investment magazine about how the PPT (Plunge Protection Team) manipulates markets such as the Dow, S&P, and Gold.

Contrarians and the Keynesian Myth   August 11, 2003
Every advance that mankind makes throughout history comes because small groups of contrarian thinkers are willing to challenge the old order, to foment a mental revolution.

Freedom and Pax Americana   July 7, 2003
Our federal government today seeks hegemony over, not only Americans, but over many parts of the world. Are we following in the footsteps of the Roman and British empires?

Invasion of the Mind Snatchers   June 23, 2003
America, once a proud land of muscular factories and productive people, has become a stuporous society of shopping malls and welfare crybabies. Why?

Is The Fed A Private Corporation?   June 10, 2003
The Fed is an evil entity, but it is not a private entity. It is a government-run fascist cartel. It results, not from free enterprise, but from government and bankers forming a combine.

Economic Fascism and Tax Slavery   May 27, 2003
We are no longer a free (i.e., capitalist) nation. For the past 100 years, we have been drifting insidiously into what is called "corporatism," the system espoused by Mussolini.

Is the Plunge Protection Team an "Urban Myth"?   April 8, 2003
John Mauldin says it's preposterous to believe that the stock market and gold market are manipulated. Reason and the facts, however, prove otherwise.

Useful Idiots and the PPT   April 1, 2003
All tyrannies depend upon the complicity of well-meaning, but naive, intellectuals. Lenin called them "useful idiots," and Washington and Wall Street are rife with them today.

Cornered Rats and the PPT   March 26, 2003
Our Federal Reserve and Treasury bureaucrats are in bed with the mega-bankers of New York. And they are desperate to cover up their corruption and tyranny.

Gargantua's Manipulation of the Markets   March 11, 2003
Today's government rules, not by law and legitimacy, but by bribery, propaganda, lies, manipulation, and special privileges -- hardly what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

Avalanches, Neo-Fasicsm and Gold   February 24, 2003
Economic calamity is descending upon us in the way that a growing avalanche halfway down a mountain slope threatens a village below. Sadly only a few villagers see the danger.

Why Prechterian Theory is Wrong on Gold   February 5, 2003
Investor mood moves the markets. This is an indisputable truth. But what causes the mood of the investing public? Robert Prechter's theory is subjected to some piercing analysis.

The Coming Iraqi War   January 14, 2003
American hegemony in the Middle East, not the liberation of Iraq, is the goal of the Bush foreign policy. America is more interested in a new empire than the old Republic.

Bringing Down the Paper Aristocracy   January 7, 2003
We live in an era of tumultuous, inconceivable change. After all, who thought that the Soviet empire would fall in 1991? Will the world's Paper Aristocracy receive the same fate?

How the Kondratieff Cycle Might Play Out   December 5, 2002
How the Kondratieff Cycle plays out is, by no means, set in stone. This is because we can now intervene with monetary and political policies that can alter the nature of the winter phase of the cycle. We can change its form.
