“Almost every Fed chairman in the past 60 years has manipulatedinterest rates to brighten the economic outlook for incumbent presidentsor newly elected presidents who won by large margins. Thepurchasing power of the U.S. dollar has fallen 94 percent in the past100 years. The only way you can create inflation is by creating moremoney that is backed by the same reserve assets; the Fed is the onlyentity that can create more money. Ben Bernanke’s quantitative easing(QE) programs have pumped billions of unfunded dollars into theeconomy, thereby setting us up for massive inflation in the very nearfuture. If this isn’t a form of financial terrorism, it is incompetence of the highest order.”

“I do not believe in the power of brand names or in emulatingany of the brand name investors out there. It is a fact that all—ifnot at least most—of the biggest names in American finance andindustry out there today have proven after the 2008 crisis to be someof the most incompetent people there are. Starting with the untouchableGoldman Sachs, who was bailed out by over $5 billion fromWarren Buffett, to AIG and Citibank, who were bailed out by thehundreds of billions of dollars from the Troubled Asset Relief Program(TARP), having a name and a history does not make you the brightestand the best. All it takes is one nincompoop with a huge ego or aboard of directors who think they are smarter than everyone else todestroy what has taken generations to build.”

“Wealth creation is not a mathematical formula, as the truthseekingquant geeks still want everyone to believe. In the end, theirlack of real-world experience and pride corrupted their mathematicalgenius and destroyed them. You may be able to digitize a daVinci,but that does not make it daVinci. Creating wealth is personal. It iscreating assets, creating value, or whatever act of self-perpetuation thatdrives us to create a legacy.”

“We are on the edge of economic collapse unless we wake up andforcibly take back control of our government and economy. Over thepast 100 years, the game has been rigged, slowly and piecemeal atfirst, always in the name of serving the greater good, preventing thenext bubble or providing greater transparency and security. It is as ifthe American people are suffering from battered spouse syndrome; thepoliticians, the greedy bankers, and the Fed all lie to us while theysteal our wealth and our liberty. Every time we call them on it, theypromise to never do it again if we’ll just give them one more chance.So we let it slide and then act shocked when they do it to us again.Maybe we should have our collective head examined.”

“George Bernard Shaw once said: “Capitalism has destroyed ourbelief in any effective power but that of self interest backed by force.”When liberals make the argument that capitalism is the cause of allof our problems, they are either speaking out of abject ignoranceor being totally disingenuous to protect their own political interests.We have not had true free-market capitalism in this country on anywide scale. Where we have had economic successes in this nation’shistory, it has been those times when people have done somethingoutside of the government’s involvement. Every single time the federalgovernment has been involved, it has created chaos, waste, andcorruption. The historical record is overwhelmingly one of grossincompetence.”

“We are today engaged in a war. It is an economic war over oursovereignty as human beings with inalienable rights to life, liberty, andthe pursuit of happiness. The “pursuit of happiness” means the rightto create wealth through our labor and to enjoy the fruits thereof.The battle now is over who has the moral, the ethical, and the legalright to the fruits of our labor. Are we to be free, or are we to beslaves? Just whose money is it anyway?”

“I strongly support liquidating the corporation that is the FederalReserve and returning to a monetary system based on a marketproducedprecious metal, like gold, which is represented by a currencyprinted and managed by the U.S. Treasury Department as stipulatedby our Constitution. The assets currently owned by the Fed shouldbe liquidated and parceled out on a pro-rata basis to its creditors. All we need is the will.”
