Time for Nice Guys in DC to Come Home

Image
In August of 2014 I attended a town hall meeting held by one of the really nice guys in congress, my 7th District US Representative, Rob Woodall. At his meetings Rob usually talks about the budget. He’s a numbers guy. And he will astound you with is knowledge of the US Federal Budget. Rob has even balanced the US budget on his computer! Representative Woodall But during the time in question, the world was abuzz about ISIS.  “ISIS did this. ISIS did that, ISIS…ISIS…ISIS.” So uncharacteristically, at this meeting Representative Woodall stepped out of his normal comfort zone, the budget, and ventured into mine, geopolitics. Anyone who knows me knows how hard I work to better understand history and world events. That’s just who I am. And so at this meeting, Representative Woodall took the time to update the attendees with the very latest ISIS propaganda, right off the presses at the US ministry of truth. The crowd ate it up, sadly. That’s when he made his mistake. They s

Trump Dashes G-20 Globalist Hopes

“Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.” That declaration, vocalized by candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign, put the world establishment, many of whom recently met at the annual G-20, on notice that a President Donald Trump would turn America against their globalist purposes. While many Americans have heard the term, “globalism,” few recognize its dire implications. Our US congress, our executive government and mainstream news are infiltrated, even infested, with globalists. To combat them, we must understand what they are attempting to do and how they would do it.

The refrain goes like this: “You load sixteen tons, what do you get?/ Another day older and deeper in debt/ Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go/ I owe my soul to the company store.” Let’s

Trump Bypasses the Circle of Loot

In last week’s column, I described how world demand for US dollars has been sustained by virtue of the petrodollar agreement between the US and the Saudis, as well with most other OPEC countries. That agreement ushered the means by which the US has been able to print unlimited numbers of dollars, borrow them into existence, and send them to producer countries in payment for valuable products from all over the world. Only in America can a people print money out of thin air and expect other peoples to take them as payment for valuable items. But they do, which explains how the US has been able to sustain a monstrous annual trade deficit for the last several decades. In case you missed last week’s column, the petrodollar system is very simple. The countries of the world must have dollars to buy OPEC energy. That creates demand for dollars around the world. To gain access to dollars, countries must sell us their stuff. To pay for the stuff, Wall Street prints more and more dollars;
