Desperate Times, Desperate Democrats

Image
I never imagined they could keep this charade going as long as they have.  But give the D.C. Democrats their due.  They are relentless.  As long as they can find one more witness, fabricating one more accusation, detailing one more supposedly-overheard conversation alleging Trump wrong-doing, regardless how pitifully inept he or she might be toward making an impeachment case against our President, you can bet the Adam Schiff-led, traitorous cabal will parade them in front of the mainstream cameras, and attempt to simulate, as best they can, a legitimate reason for Congress to remove President Donald J. Trump from office.  I have been watching political gamesmanship for a long time, but I have never witnessed anything like this.  I can remember being disappointed with the Republicans in Congress, including our own 7th and 9th District Representatives Woodall and Collins, when it seemed they took very few real measures to resist various initiatives of President ...

Yovanovitch “Bad News” Backstory

Image
You may recall an article I published in October entitled, “ Ukraine, what really happened .”  To understand the latest coup attempt by House Democrats to remove President Trump from office, you need to read it.  Adding to that article, regarding the inquiry and last week’s testimony from supposed witness and former Ukrainian Ambassador Maria Yovanovitch, let’s take another trip back to February 2014. At that time the Ukrainian "Revolution of Dignity" had just taken place. The Revolution of Dignity, as you heard it referred last week during the Democrat's sham of a hearing featuring Ms. Yovanovitch, as I explained in October, was in reality an Obama State Department/CIA overthrow of the elected government of Ukraine. Recalling that article, among other reasons we know the glorious revolution was an Obama coup is because Obama's Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs, Victoria Nuland (whose real name is Nudelman), along with then U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, ...

The Practical Side of Politics

Image
Last week, self-defeating Libertarians in Kentucky helped take themselves out of the frying pan while throwing the entire state of Kentucky into the fire, claiming the power enabling a Democrat challenger to win the Kentucky Governor's race.  Afterward, Kentucky Libertarians rejoiced, enamored with the seldom-felt perception of political power when the Democrat challenger won.  In so doing, Kentucky Libertarians confirmed their love of liberty in-principle much more than they could ever love liberty in-fact, publishing a statement which read that if they cannot advance liberty, they “are always happy to split the vote in a way that causes delicious tears,” ostensibly those tears shed by the incumbent Republican’s supporters.  Final 2019 Kentucky Governor's Race Results In publishing that statement, and claiming a misguided victory when theirs was actually an overwhelming loss, Kentucky Libertarians demonstrated that there is a practical side of politics they do not,...

Barr Investigation Goes Criminal

Image
Last week, plastered across mainstream news sources we learned that the investigation of Attorney General William Barr has finally “gone criminal.”  Should we be surprised?  Well, if you are just now realizing that criminals began heavily influencing policies of the United States Government, even decades ago, I suppose last week’s revelation was a small shock.  But surely you have noticed some signs along the way, haven’t you?  Perhaps if I remind you of a few, that might help you gain perspective on what we’re dealing with here.  And these are just a few. Remember Vietnam? The undeclared war Lyndon Johnson waged in Southeast Asia?  The war for which the names of 58,000 Americans are commemorated on a wall in D.C.?  Remember that?  Do you remember what prompted it?  It was an event alleged as the “Gulf of Tonkin Incident.”   Prior to that supposed happening, LBJ is recorded on tape telling his Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara ...

Collins and Woodall, Egg on Faces

Image
It’s votes like the one last week, in which House Republicans sided overwhelmingly with Nancy Pelosi, rebuking President Trump for pulling out of Syria, that make me wonder who is really pulling the strings of our elected representatives.  I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.  But sometimes something so inexplicable happens, such as the vote last week, that leads to the impression something is going on behind the scenes, causing congressmen like Forsyth County’s own Doug Collins and Rob Woodall to suddenly abandon reason, abandon their constituents, abandon the leader of their party, the leader of their country and for that matter the free world, and side with politically-insane Nancy Pelosi in condemning our President. In poll after poll, the American people, on all sides, overwhelmingly agree with Trump’s decision to pull American forces out of Syria.   The American people want their troops out of harm’s way, and home from foreign deployments unrelat...

Federal Reserve on Life Support

Image
Last week, Chairman Jerome Powell announced the Federal Reserve’s decision to reverse a policy in place since President Trump’s election and begin once again enlarging the central bank’s balance sheet, programming the regular purchase of U.S. Treasury bonds and holding them until further notice.  My, my, that sounds like a dry topic for a Friday, doesn’t it?  And the manner in which financial journals and talking heads speak of Fed policy decisions such as this one is so outrageously dull that it’s almost like they want you to stop reading or turn the channel.  But you owe it to yourself to stay with me here.  When you understand what the Fed Chairman is doing and why, I venture to say it will catch your attention.  Consider the term, “quantitative easing.”  The Fed uses it to create an impression in public mind that all this high finance stuff is beyond normal abilities to understand.  Once that task is complete, they can do anything they want to do a...

Ukraine, What Really Happened

Image
I learned some time ago that geopolitical events always seem to stem from two primary concerns, the control of money and the control of resources.  So let’s just say that there is some struggling country out there.  It has natural resources, but lacks the money and technology to extract them and use them for the good of its people.  Accordingly, if such a country received the right kind of help, then perhaps it could use those resources to make life within its borders a little better for its citizens.  And let’s just say that country’s government sends out an appeal for assistance in extracting and managing untapped natural wealth for the good of its people.  Let’s say that government makes it a national goal to become energy independent, no longer requiring fuels from questionably-friendly neighbors.  That would be an appropriate goal for any national government, would it not?  Well, in 2013, that is exactly what the democratically-elected Ukrai...

Fed Handing Billions to Wall Street?

Image
Two weeks ago, the Fed announced lowering interest rates…again.  Soon afterward, articles began surfacing alleging that Wall Street banks were struggling with liquidity, on the verge of default, and that the New York Fed had stepped in with massive bailouts, dropping billions into accounts of desperate banks, just to keep them alive.  Is that really what was happening?  Not really.  It’s just the process of manipulating interest rates. Remember, the Fed payments to Wall Street began simultaneously with the interest rate announcement.  But the Fed’s Board cannot raise or lower interest rates with a simple announcement.  They can only establish a “target” interest rate, in this case, between 1.75% and 2%, down a quarter percent from where it was.  To execute that new policy, since any market rate of interest would be well above the rates we are talking about, the Fed must actually go into the market with dollars and buy prevailing rates down.  So...

Negative Interest Rates Explained

Image
In September of 2016, three years ago, Barack Obama was still America’s President. The 2016 election would not happen for another month and a half. At that time the Fed had just, once again, failed to raise interest rates, as I had publicly predicted.   So I made a video , posting it online, to explain what was happening.  In the video I speculated that unless the banks that control Fed policy simply decided to shuck it all, in other words, decided to knowingly allow the mother of all recessions by returning to normal interest rates, incidentally producing the largest wealth transfer in American history, rates would never raise again...ever.  As it turns out, I was right.  Although the Fed tried, it must now reverse itself. At that time the world was anticipating Hillary Clinton to win, in which case any economic reset could count on cover from Hillary, perhaps in the form of a major conflict in the Middle East, or another geopolitical event, to blame a stock ...

Trump Halting the American Extraction

Image
Since his inauguration, President Donald Trump has been leading America substantially away from the path it was heading, and toward a new path he is clearing.  As a result, America is turning toward purposes not yet plain to many Americans.  I get that, which is one reason I write these thoughts for you to consider.  Americans should understand what Trump is doing and why he is doing it.  Just as importantly, they should understand why the work he is doing is vital for our future, the future of our families, friends and loved ones, and for America and the world.  Today we are experiencing monumental events in American history.  Those events will prove as profound as any world wars, possibly even the Civil War.  As central as the Civil War would become in shaping America and possibly the world, the issues over which that war was fought were squarely defined.  The end result would either benefit or disadvantage the American people as a whole, and by...

Trump Casts Light on Hidden Enemies

Image
President Trump has a way of causing his enemies to show themselves, to sort of “come out of the closet.”  It’s like his enemies arrive at a certain level of desperation they can no longer contain.  That’s when they have to let their feelings out.  It’s almost like they have to do that before they explode.  That is when they start tweeting, writing and speaking…about Trump.  And when they do, the American people get to see who these people really are.  The more they tweet, the more they write and speak, the more the American people realize these are not American patriots.  On the contrary, these are enemies within, operatives carefully placed to protect certain respective parts of a system that over time gained control of the American Government, and except for Trump’s 2016 presidential victory, would have cemented its grasp on the levers of world power, for good.   Had Trump not won the presidency the American people would never have known the e...

China, Built on American Debt

Image
Last May, echoing the sentiments of President Trump I wrote an article entitled, “America, China’s Piggybank.”  In it I explained why China needs U.S. dollars, which they receive in trade for exports to America.  Essentially, since the early-1970’s Federal Reserve banks on Wall Street have owned the franchise of issuing U.S. dollars, in practically unlimited quantities, sending them all around the world, expecting the U.S. military and intelligence services to enforce their value.  That system has a name.  It is called, “the petrodollar system.”  As a result, the world still uses dollars as its predominant trading platform, which explains why China, the world’s largest exporter of goods, must always have a significant supply of dollars.  One way China obtains dollars is to produce cheap goods that Americans, always shopping for a deal, unwittingly import. Now if you didn’t realize that the U.S. military and intelligence services have been enforcing the valu...

Fixing the Rigged System

Image
Over the past several weeks, I’ve shown you how it is that as long as the Federal Reserve private banking system controls the issuance of America’s money supply, it will remain mathematically impossible to pay off the national debt or sustain a balanced federal budget.  For one thing, we know that is true because before the Fed can place new base dollars into circulation, U.S. sovereign debt of equal dollar value must be received by the Fed and held as collateral.  One dollar of U.S. debt allows the Fed to create one dollar of base currency.  Furthermore, at the member bank level, such as that of Wall Street banks, the American money supply is created and loaned into circulation, at interest.  And because Wall Street does not issue dollars to pay the interest, the only way to pay it is for the people to keep borrowing more dollars…from Wall Street. And so, if you look back at the Fed’s balance sheet leading to the financial crisis of ’08 and ’09, you would see an or...

The Federal Reserve is Stuck

Image
This is the fourth in a series designed to dispel myths about the US national debt, such as the myth that it is caused by government overspending.  It’s not.  In the first article, we talked about why President Trump doesn’t refer to balancing the budget, or paying off the national debt.  Trump knows that while the Federal Reserve system remains in charge of issuing America’s money supply, doing so is mathematically impossible.  Trump doesn’t talk about things that are impossible, only things that are possible. Next we learned the big secret nobody will admit, and which proves what I just told you.  Before a Fed bank, such as the New York Fed, can issue a new dollar into the economy, the U.S. Government must transfer to the Fed a dollar’s worth of U.S. debt, serving as collateral, indebting the American people to pay the Fed’s dollar back.   Once that dollar of debt is received, the New York Fed can electronically deposit a corresponding new dollar in...
