Central Banks, Your Money and Creative Swindlers

Are Central Banks Like the Federal Reserve Run by Creative Swindlers?

Resentment Grows on Main Street Over Bailout Winners and Losers

Stock Market Rebounds In April With Best Month Since 1987

Some men and women are waking up to the sad fact that creative swindlers run central Banks.

“Small businesses are an anchor of the American economy. They provide almost half the country’s jobs, about 45% of national production and almost all the employment growth. So it was disappointing for Alex Steed, who co-owns a video-production company in Portland, Maine, when he couldn’t get through to the SBA help line after applying for a loan.”

“I was told I was caller number 1,403, and it would be around a three-hour wait,” said Steed. “I stayed on the line for several hours before it went dead.”

At least, that what Bloomberg reports. Further investigations confirm … Read More

How to Overcome Hopelessness During These Desperate Times

Hopelessness Soars as Over 3.8 Million Americans Applied for Unemployment Last Week as Total Now More than 30 Million

Are You Overwhelmed with Feelings of Hopelessness?

Capture Hope from Hopelessness

The new report, which covers the week ending  April 25, pushes the six-week total of job losses since states adopted strict stay-at-home measures to 30.2 million. Unemployment at this scale hasn’t been recorded since the Great Depression when the jobless rate peaked at 25 percent.

Hope for the Future?

Maybe when you look at our social and economic woes, you wonder if you can find any hope for the future. After all, the Coronavirus Pandemic has caused a stock market crash, businesses to close and unemployment to soar…and that’s on top of the health scare. Possibly a feeling of hopelessness overwhelms you.

During moments of weakness, you feel that life is … Read More

War on Cash Threatens Your Individual Rights

War on Cash Kicking Into Overdrive

Elimination of cash would allow elites to impose negative interest rates, account freezes and confiscation.

The war on cash will zap control of your finances to the Deep State and Central Banks. Jim Rickards states, “The global elites and deep state actors always have a laundry list of programs and regulations they can’t wait to put into practice. They know that most of these are deeply unpopular and they could never get away with putting them into practice during ordinary times.

Yet when a crisis hits, citizens are desperate for fast action and quick solutions. The elites bring forward their rescue packages but then use these as Trojan horses to sneak their wish list inside.”

Texas Attempts to Save State’s Free Enterprise System

Gov. Greg Abbott’s stay-at-home order expires Thursday, and many Texas businesses may open Friday.

Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday said, “His statewide stay-at-home order on coronavirus will expire on Thursday as scheduled, while Texas malls, stores, movie theaters and restaurants may open the next day — with 25% occupancy.” Apparently, he decided if the shutdown continued, it would completely kill the Texas free enterprise system.

He also said, “Barber shops, hair salons, gyms, massage establishments, tattoo parlors, video arcades and bowling alleys must wait until mid-May at the earliest to reopen.” If I don’t get a haircut soon, we will be calling this blog ‘The Conservative Hippie’s News Blitz.”

Texas – A Free Enterprise State

Unlike many liberal states, Texas supports the free enterprise system and the entrepreneurs who drive economic progress. Maybe other states should take the hint and end the shutdown before it destroys … Read More

Two-Party Political System Completely Corrupted

Two-Party Political System Fails the American People

Doug Casey: America Is Becoming a Police State

Doug Casey says, “The people who will take us to a police state are sociopaths – criminal personalities who don’t respect the liberty or property of others. And sociopaths gravitate towards government, and eventually come to control it.” Tragically, that has happened as corruption has infested the Two-Party Political System.

He also stated, “When social conditions reach a certain stage, these really bad guys come out from under their rocks and take advantage of the situation. We’re seeing that right now in the US, across the political spectrum. Just as we’ve seen in the past in hundreds of places throughout history.”

What’s amazing is that we voted for these psychopaths, sociopaths and liberty violators…at least the people who thought it was worthwhile voting. It does no good to vote for the … Read More

Billionaire: Raise Taxes to Pay for Big Government

Billionaire Warns of Nasty COVID-19 Side Effect: ‘Taxes Have to Go Up’

“When the government is called upon to protect you on the downside, they have every right to regulate you on the upside,” Leon Cooperman said in a Thursday interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” program. “So capitalism is changed.” Just what we need more government regulations as if ‘Big Brother” doesn’t already over-regulate its citizen. And taxes going up. I guess we’ll all be transformed into a slave, and you know how dismal the productivity of slaves is.

He also stated, “So the coronavirus’ impact on taxes is likely to mean U.S. citizens will be paying more down the road, but *Bauman warns those same citizens are going to “want a return on their investment” by seeing improvements in government performance.”

*Ted Bauman of “The Bauman Letter.”

Covid-19 bailout is officially the biggest bailout in history, reaching the point of bailouts for everyone

Article from December 14, 2009, Eerily Accurate

According to ZeroHedge, “While nobody knows when the US economy will fully recover from the coronacrisis pandemic, what the economy will look like, or where the S&P will be one year from now, we do know how much money the current bailout has cost. And, at over $10 trillion to date – and counting – the Covid-19 bailout is now officially the biggest bailout in history. We reached the point of bailouts for everyone.

Deutsche Bank’s Jim Reid has put together the following chart graphing the history of global moral hazard all large bailouts/interventions, covering both government and central bank moves, seen each year since 1970 in US inflation adjusted terms.”

Government Interventionism Fails Once Again

Huge Companies Outmuscle Mom-and-Pops in Flawed Paycheck Protection Program as Government Interventionism Fails Once Again

$243 million of funds in the Paycheck Protection Program have been sent to large, publicly traded companies

U.S. Senate on Tuesday passed a $484 billion coronavirus bill for small businesses, hospitals and coronavirus testing

Bailouts, stimulus packages, shutdowns, lockdowns etc., are doomed to failure as government interventionism worsens the situation.

It would require hundreds of thousands of pages to cover the subject thoroughly, and that might not do it justice, so we will discuss a recent event.

According to Money and Markets, “As part of the recently passed Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the government set aside $349 billion (which is now all gone) to distribute to small businesses of less than 500 employees. The intention was to help tiny mom-and-pop establishments keep employees on payroll and avoid layoffs.

Have We Witnessed the Death of Real Capitalism?

Bonner: COVID-19 Shows Us Capitalism Is Broken 

Crony Capitalism Runs Amok 

Is It Possible to Restore Real Capitalism? 

Bill Bonner, founder of Agora Financial states, “Capitalism built the U.S. People worked hard. Took risks. Made money. Lost money. Investors… managers… day laborers… all got richer, together. And now that the wealthy have their piles, they count on their friends, the feds, to protect them.

The middle classes, for their part, are happy with that, too… as long as the checks keep coming.

They don’t know it — and probably never will — but in the new crony economy, the rich can still make profits… but now the middle classes will take the losses!”

Have we witnessed the death of real capitalism?

The Fed accelerated the destruction of real capitalism during the 2008 – 2009 economic crisis. Instead of allowing bad investments to evaporate, it propped up … Read More

Fascism Here It Comes – Unless We Can Stop It

Under Fascism, Big Brother Will Be Watching You

Dr. Anthony Fauci: Americans could eventually carry certificates of immunity to coronavirus

Dr. Anthony Fauci, on Friday, said, “it’s possible that Americans could eventually carry around certificates of immunity to the coronavirus once proper testing is widespread enough.” Fascism here it comes.

Question: Is it possible that the establishment might inject you with vaccines containing Nano-Chips allowing the Elite to control your money and life? It’s up to each individual to determine if that’s a conspiracy theory or fact.

You might as well forget the idea that Republicans will protect your rights. Sen. Bill Cassidy, Louisiana Republican, has pitched the idea of an immunity registry to document people no longer believed to be at risk of infection. Democrats and Republicans expand their power as one big party…Demopublicans. George Carlin stated, “It’s a Big Club, and You Ain’t in … Read More
