The House of Representatives approved Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul’s “Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2012? by a wide margin in a 327-98 vote Wednesday. But lost in the bipartisan revelry was the fact that eight co-sponsors of the legislation actually voted against it.

There is an answer to America’s political and fiscal problems. It is the man whom Treasury Secretary William Simon called the “one exception to the Gang of 535″ on Capitol Hill – Ron Paul.

In Paul’s words, written October 3, 2011, “it is time to end the Fed”. Here is Paul in The Fed Twists, the Market Shouts:

Last week the Federal Reserve began the second incarnation of “Operation Twist”, an attempt to drive down interest rates by purchasing long-term Treasury debt and selling short-term debt. This is just the latest instance of the central bank desperately flailing around doing something merely for the sake of [...]

JP Morgan: “With home prices continuing to decline, a wealth driven consumption binge looks unlikely.”

by ZH

MSFT has existed within its “they have no alternative; they have to use us” monopoly defense alternate universe for decades. Its attitude is that its customer is an IT department that can source and distribute thousands of software packages (e.g., Windows, Office) or devices driven by its software (the soon to be cancelled, lamentable WinMob) to corporations. It has nothing but scorn for the individual user whom MSFT management considers [...]

The nation-state is dying. Fiat money is the killer.

by Miramanee

The history of the nation-state, as we know, is a sordid tale of theft and military conquest and coercion and trickery and manipulation and lies. But one lie stands out above all the rest. It is the lie that in the end trumps all other lies. It is the lie that, in time, will precipitate the coming of the end of the age of the [...]
