For the most part I've held off throwing my hat into (or keeping it out of) the ring during the recent bout of Bitcoin-mania. This isn't out of ignorance of the currency. Back in May 2011, before most people had even heard of the crypto-currency, I interviewed a man calling himself “The Real Plato” claiming to be on “the world's first Bitcoin road trip” traveling across America paying his way exclusively in Bitcoin. No, it's not ignorance that has kept me out of the Bitcoin arena up until this point; it's ambivalence. If ambivalence were a power I'd be a superhero. For the longest time I've had the most uncanny ability to see both the potential good and the potential bad in a new idea simultaneously, often in equal measure. Ambivalence is either my fatal flaw or my saving grace. I haven't decided yet. When it comes to Bitcoin, this ambivalence of mine has left me particularly on the fence. The debate that has taken place in recent months seems, from my perspective, to have played out on the far poles of opinion on the matter. All we have heard are arguments between the currency's ardent defenders—who seem too strident, too ardent, too zealous for my liking—and its staunch opponents—who seem too categorical, too unimagi...

Once again, in the grand tradition of American muckrakers, Stephen Lendman strikes to the heart of Wall Street/government collusion to protect the powerful and drive ordinary Americans into the Third World ditch. Here’s some straight talk on unaffordable health care, unrepayable student debt, bankrupt cities, money printing madness, trillion dollar tax havens, IMF financial terrorism, the austerity hoax, banksters’ market-rigging thievery, and the domestic police, media and legislative repression set to keep all that in place.

The thesis of this book by John Benson is that, based upon Murray, G.M. Leasing, and the government’s admission to the Supreme Court in 1977, and put into plain English, all IRS processes and procedures are, in substance and effect, simply the ancient English revenue processes and procedures employed by the king’s revenue officials in the Exchequer (Treasury) in 1791 dressed up in modern garb. To be sure, the author claims, the words used are different and not easily understood. However, as the Murray Court stated clearly, “The name bestowed upon it cannot affect its constitutional validity.” 59 U.S. 272, 276 (1856). Link.

American Free Press called this new book “an amazing encyclopedia” and “the final word on some of the biggest conspiracies in American history,” and I can tell you that I recommend it very highly. Florida talk-show host Bobby Lee said, “The Introduction alone is worth the price of the book.”

How Wall Street Fleeces AmericaThe 1913 Federal Reserve Act let powerful bankers usurp money creation authority in violation of the Constitution's Article I, Section 8, giving only Congress the power to "coin Money (and) regulate the Value thereof...." Thereafter, powerful bankers used their control over money, credit and debt for private self-enrichment, bankrolling and colluding with Congress and administrations to implement laws favoring them.

As a reader of The International Forecaster you already know the U.S. Dollar is in trouble. In fact irresponsible politicians, dependence on foreign creditors, metastasizing debt, and the Federal Reserve’s monetary malpractice guarantee a dollar calamity! I want you to read THE DOLLAR MELTDOWN, a brand new book by my friend Charles Goyette.
