It is imperative that the American people be educated on the dangers of the Fed and the importance of restoring sound money. Now that nearly 50 years have elapsed since silver was removed from circulation, fewer and fewer Americans have firsthand familiarity with real money.

The laying of the groundwork must begin today, so that the American people will be prepared for the day when the mirage the Fed has created evaporates completely.

U.S in Libya: Get shot by your own bullets
22 mar  |  By Sean Maguire

There are few people in this world who would defend Gaddafi as a sane and viable leader of Libya; but I think there would be even less that would see the logic in the U.S selling guns to someone as psychotic as him and then parading about as world police.

It's the equivalent of a sheriff giving an outlaw a six-shooter and then acting surprised when he starts popping off the town folk. 

The second one U.S plane gets shot down by one U.S surface-to-air missile, all the military big wigs should get together and make a decision once and for all - "we have to stop shooting at tyrants we've given guns to".

What do you think about Libya? What do you think about the obvious contradictions in U.S foreign policy and how do you think they should be addressed? Tell us and remember...Disqus!  . . read more

“Flame of Conscience” - by Jerome A. Cohen
13 nov  |  Sunday will mark President Barack Obama’s first visit to China. Will he be stricken by Marco Polo-itis? The Great Wall and the Forbidden City can be mesmerizing. But so too can Obama, especially if allowed to speak freely on Chinese television. . . read more

Fall of Empire, End to Wars: Johan Galtung Predictions
22 feb  |  Some analysts say the US - bogged down in wars and pressed by emerging powers - will have to rethink its role in world affairs. Norwegian sociologist Johan Galtung, a peace and conflict expert, goes further by predicting the fall of the "US Empire". "Iraq is not at all turning out the way they hoped, certainly not Afghanistan either. The same will happen in Yemen and Somalia and a number of other countries where they now have undercover operations," he told RT. Moreover, the sociologist believes what is going to happen in those areas - for instance, in Afghanistan - is not even decided in Washington. . . read more
Congress in the 11th hour, symbol of the U.S?
9 apr  |  By Sean Maguire

Today the U.S congress has agreed on a budget cut plan that will see $38b cut this year. Doesn't seem like it will do much to bring down a trillion dollar deficit but it might be damaging to some public works and public jobs. 

What was interesting about this though was how much the process symbolised the U.S.

It wasn't really a great win for either party, it avoided making serious changes and a serious analysis into the country's problems and it was replete with the kind of melodrama that would embarrass soap opera directors.

Congress' inefficient and reductive policy programme reminds you of the old saying that says "the opposite of pro is con, therefore the opposite of progress= congress."

Obama backflips back to reason
24 feb  |  By Sean Maguire

The US is meant to be a Libertarian's wet dream, yet the Federal Government tells you which substances you can't consume and prevents certain groups from exercising rights which are enjoyed by the majority.

Gay marriage is still illegal and idiotic drug wars are being fought to stop adults from doing what they want.

Obama though in a landmark announcement seems to be turning the tide on this paradox by pulling his support from the idea that marriage can only be between men and women.

So, after repealing"Don't Ask, Don't Tell", Obama is definitely shaping up as the most gay friendly President in history.   . . read more
