I've read a lot of Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell, have two degrees in Economics, yet that's the best summary of that problem I've read in a long time. Moral of the story: Never trust the government-- especially democrats!

I agree with you 150%!!! As time goes on, I learn more and more about the evil decisions Roosevelt made that has caused so much damage to America. My parents were born in 1920/1921 and were solid conservatives. They raised me with the sentiments you express in your last sentence and in fact those were their exact words: "Never trust the government - especially democrats!!

great article. looking at the photograph used in this article, I'm trying to see how Schiff actually made this 1918 address: is he using a microphone? where are the loudspeakers so the crowd can hear him? there seems to be a piano on the 'stage', to accompany... singing (the national anthem)? very confusing.

Isn’t that a haircut rather than a default? Or are we saying a haircut is a type of default?

The moral of the story: Neither trust nor invest with the US government (enslavement). Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. It won' be long before Uncle Sam folds the monetary system. The thieves have squeezed about all of our blood, sweat and tears out of the worthless dollars. Protect your assets while you still have a chance. Things will be getting bad, really bad, before very long. Trump has no control over the international banking cartel. They are in control of the dollar and we owe over $36 trillion.

It’s BEGINNING! Fauci and Co. Are About to Be FULLY Exposed for Getting MILLIONS Killed During COVID

https://www.conservativenewszone.com/articles/its-beginning-fauci-and-co-are-about-to-be-fully-exposed-for-getting-millions-killed-during-covid/

Dr. Fauci, of course, is the infamous Napoleon who served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and gave birth to the narrative that anybody who didn’t get their COVID vaccine would DIE or kill their Grandma.

We all know now that this was a load of BS, but at the time, it was this rhetoric that terrified and coerced millions of Americans into receiving an injection that they weren’t comfortable with taking given the fact that there was no real evidence suggesting they were safe.

t was only after the deaths from the vaccine injections got too big to hide that the truth got out and people began realizing that the vaccines were MORE DANGEROUS than the virus itself. No one had ever heard of myocarditis before the Covid vaccine was rolled out. And no one had ever heard of anyone developing a severe autoimmune disorder from a vaccine or dying from a blood clot brought on a vaccine either.

But by this point it was too late because a large portion of the country had already succumbed to Fauci and co.’s propaganda and would be stuck with these vaccine side effects for the rest of their lives.

Fauci THOUGHT that all of his friends in the corrupt U.S. government would be able to protect him and make sure that he would never be held accountable – but he thought wrong.

With President-Elect Donald Trump’s victory, everything has changed.

Former Democratic Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been one of the most vocal critics of the COVID vaccines and Trump has tapped him to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

And it seems that the Republicans are not waiting until Trump and Kennedy get into office to start the investigations into the evil Tony Fauci.

Republicans, led by Sen. Ron Johnson (WI), in the Senate are finally demanding answers and while they’re only scratching the surface of this massive scandal, the evidence they’ve already gathered is INCREDIBLY damning.

Dr. Naomi Wolf has been trying to expose the truth about the COVID vaccines from the start, and she revealed on X that Sen. Johnson had received emails communications from basically every major U.S. government health agency which confirmed that the evil government bureaucrats KNEW the truth about these deadly injections in April, 2021, and then pushed them anyways.

And that’s because they weren’t. he emails show that our government, led by Tony Fauci, was more determined to help Big Pharma sell these lethal injections, than they were with keeping the American people safe.

Dr. Wolf told InfoWars Alex Jones in an interview, “Kids are dropping dead from myocarditis. They knew what would happen and they tried to cover it up.”

Now, it’s just a matter of time before these CRIMINALS are held accountable for what they’ve done.

Whatever Happened with That Alleged Jill Biden Child Trafficking Thing?

https://www.americanlibertyreportnews.com/articles/whatever-happened-with-that-alleged-jill-biden-child-trafficking-thing/

Save the Children is a “non-government organization” (NGO). It appears to be a CIA front that receives taxpayer funding from USAID, the State Department, and donations from gullible Americans.

Save the Children was expelled from Pakistan in 2011 when one of its CIA officers was caught administering fake vaccines to women and children. The people thought their kids were getting the polio vaccine, but it was just some spying operation that the CIA was running.

The USA branch of Save the Children, which Jill Biden ran for four years when her husband was out of the White House, has been caught in scandals as well. The NGO was caught milking families who thought they were sponsoring impoverished children overseas. It turned out that many of the children that families thought they were sponsoring had actually been dead for years.

People back then should have learned what we know today. Don't ever trust the Federal Government. They don't give a shit about you.

Question, the American Bald Eagle has been our Nation Emblem since the early day of the country. Yet I've see articles it will be adopted as a National Emblem. Franklin wanted a lowly Turkey. Not the majestic Eagle. Which was chosen. Did it not become our National Emblem over 200+ years ago or not?

The story about Benjamin Franklin wanting the National Bird to be a turkey is just a myth. This false story began due to a letter Franklin wrote to his daughter criticizing the original eagle design for the Great Seal, saying that it looked more like a turkey. In the letter, Franklin wrote that the “Bald Eagle...is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly…[he] is too lazy to fish for himself.”

About the turkey, Franklin wrote that in comparison to the bald eagle, the turkey is “a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America...He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage.” So, although Benjamin Franklin defended the honor of the turkey against the bald eagle, he did not propose it become one of America’s most important symbols.

I imagine Biden must have done that by mistake, probably thought he was signing a pardon for one of his criminal friends/relatives.
