IMF

A dream of world socialism

The IMF and the World Bank, were created at a meeting of global financiers and politicians held at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in 1944. Their announced goals were to facilitate international trade and to stabilize the exchange rates of national currencies. The unannounced goals were quite different. They were the elimination of the gold-exchange standard as the basis of currency valuation and the establishment of...

A history of Monetary Crimes

In 1899 Alexander Del Mar stated in his book “Barbara Villiers or A history of Monetary Crimes”, this: FROM the remotest time to the seventeenth century of our era, the right to coin money and to regulate its value (by giving it denominations, a belief of worth) and by limiting or increasing the quantity of it in circulation, was the exclusive privilege of the State....

BCCI – The biggest KNOWN bank fraud

The Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) was a useful tool for many powerful clients, ranging from the CIA and the Medellín cartel to Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda, and influential figures in both the Republican and Democratic parties of the USA. When BCCI was finally shut down, as much as $15 billion had been lost or stolen—the biggest publicly known bank fraud in the world. Bank of Crooks and Criminals International CIA Director Robert Gates called it the “Bank […]...

Council on Foreign Relations & the American decline

Speaking before Britain’s House of Lords in 1770, Sir William Pitt declared: “There is something behind the throne greater than the king himself,” thus giving birth to the phrase “power behind the throne.” In 1844, Benjamin Disraeli, England’s famed statesman, published a novel entitled Coningsby, or the New Generation. It was well known as a thinly disguised portrayal of his political contemporaries. In it, he wrote: “The...

Does the Energy Crisis Serve a Purpose?

The Persian Gulf. July 24, 1987. Two in the morning. A supertanker the length of four football fields moves through darkness. 414,000 tons. Kuwaiti oil in her belly, the freshly painted flag of the United States on her hull. Her name is the Bridgeton, and flanking her in the black water are five warships of the most powerful navy on earth — a destroyer, frigates,...
Rothbard

Egalitarianism as a revolt against nature

Rothbard’s “Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature” displays a remarkable organic unity: the book is much more than the sum of its parts. Points made in the various essays included in the book mesh together to form a consistent worldview. The system of thought set forward in these essays, moreover, illuminates both history and the contemporary world. In the book’s initial essay, whose title has been adopted for the whole book, Murray Rothbard raises a basic challenge to schools of […]...
The Worldbank

Everything you thought about money is a lie

For those who are reading the Maier Files and guessing that the story of Otto Maier, Oskar Gross and their struggle with the occulted Criminal Banking Cartel is just a fancy tale, think again. The goal is indeed control.  They want all of us enslaved to debt, they want all of our governments enslaved to debt, and they want all of our politicians addicted to...

Friedrich Hayek’s Vision: Rejecting Planned Societies for Individual Freedom

In a world that sometimes seems enamored with central planning and government control, Friedrich Hayek’s ideas on liberty and individualism continue to shine as a beacon of hope and reason. His seminal work, “The Road to Serfdom,” serves as a stark warning against the perils of planned societies and is a testament to the enduring importance of defending individual freedom. Hayek’s Rejection of Planned Societies:...

German Gold: The Predictable Return of Repatriation Calls – Chains That Bind

Yesterday, fresh voices in Germany—economists, FDP politician Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, and others—urged the Bundesbank to bring home the remaining 1,236 tons of gold (valued at around €164 billion) still stored in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The reason cited? Donald Trump’s return to power and his “unpredictability,” making reliance on U.S. vaults too great a geopolitical risk in uncertain times.This is not new. It is, in fact, entirely predictable.Back in our 2018 article Checking the Vaults (/checking-the-vaults/), we examined […]...

Government Subsidies: The Mathematical Con That Makes You Thank Your Robber

“The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” – Pat Miller In our...

Hidden History

A book dedicated to the victims of an unspeakable evil: HIDDEN HISTORY The Secret Origins of the First World War by Gerry Docherty and Jim Macgregor Their book starts like this: “A carefully falsified history was created to conceal the fact that Britain, not Germany, was responsible for the war. Had the truth become widely known after 1918, the consequences for the British Establishment would have...

How to Launder a Trillion

Every good magic show has a mechanics problem. The trick works because the audience looks where it is directed. The hand that matters is never the hand being watched. This is not a secret — it is the operating principle, built into every performance. What follows is a look at the other hand. Not the amateur kind of sleight of hand. The sovereign kind. The Small Version Somewhere in your city, a man fixes roofs for cash. He is good […]...
