Progress Is the Wrong Word

50,000 jobs gone. Volkswagen. Germany. The commentators are busy explaining it — American tariffs, energy costs that no longer compute, a Chinese electric vehicle industry that appeared from nowhere and somehow produces a car for less than the cost of its components in Stuttgart. The explanations are probably accurate. They are also, entirely, insufficient. Because the story of what is happening to German industry did...

Unternehmen Patentenraub 1945

Operation Patent theft (Unternehmen Patentenraub). Plenty of present-day authors have demonstrated that the German science and technology in the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s extended far beyond the flash and bang of atomic weapons, flying discs, rail guns and any other unfathomable, fascinating technological innovations. It extended into the everyday life of the post-war world. The Allies took thousands and thousands of patents from German vaults at the close...

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. In 1604, in the celebrated case of the Mixed Moneys,’ this privilege was affirmed under […]...

The Fire of the Gods: What 56 Civilizational Collapses Tell Us About Our Future

For the common man, economics is a dreary subject, a confusing litany of numbers spoken in a tongue he does not understand. He feels its effects in the shrinking of his wallet, the anxiety at the grocery store, and the vague sense that the foundations of his world are softening like sand beneath his feet. He has been told it is complex, that only experts...

The real Money Power

“Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day, but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate systematical plan of reducing us to slavery.” — Thomas Jefferson    American Founding Father who was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence and later served as the...

Money in a ‘free’ society …

Few economic subjects are more tangled, more confused than money. Quarrels abound over “tight money” vs. “easy money,” over the roles of the Federal Reserve System and the Treasury, over various versions of the gold standard, etc. Should the government pump money into the economy or siphon it out? Which branch of the government? Should it encourage credit or restrain it? Should it return to the gold standard? If so, at what rate? These and countless other questions multiply, seemingly […]...

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,...

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...

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 […]...

The Economic Pillaging of Russia: A Post-Soviet Tragedy

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked a historical turning point, not just for geopolitics but also for Russia’s internal economy. The 1990s became a period of unprecedented economic chaos, often referred to as the “economic plundering of Russia.” In his book Shadow Masters, Daniel Estulin unveils the hidden forces behind this tragic chapter in Russia’s history, revealing the key players who facilitated...

Unmasking the Climate Change Industrial Complex

James M. Wright’s Hurricane in a Teacup: The Relentless Myth of Man-made Climate Change challenges the widespread belief in man-made climate change, dissecting what he calls a politically driven agenda that claims to have scientific backing. Published in 2021, this book suggests that the climate movement’s ultimate goal is less about environmental preservation and more about advancing socialist economic transformations on a global scale. With...

The Silent Takeover

Where cash ends, control begins—and your money is no longer truly your own. As the dream of a cashless society quickly becomes reality, a new form of economic control settles over citizens. The disappearance of cash is not merely a shift in how we pay—it is the final erasure of our last refuge of financial freedom. Once physical money is gone, every cent you own is trapped within a digital system governed not by you, but by the shifting policies […]...
