The information below was included in the first iteration of the show, but we scrapped it in order to bring you a discussion on hard money and more recent economic happenings. Nevertheless, it is a valuable resource about the history of banking and the rise of the modern central fiat banking empire. And it’s always cool reading about the occult underpinnings of the Knights Templar. Didn’t Dan Brown get rich off of that stuff?

The documentaries below cover a plethora of excellent information about how our Federal Reserve and income tax systems operate. Included also are several free eBooks about the case for a hard currency, the Federal Reserve system, and inflation/dollar devaluation. The eBooks are courtesy of the Ludwig von Mises Institute (and their respective authors), the leading information resource for the philosophies of Austrian economics and Libertarianism.

This show, essentially, is dedicated to all the Ron Paul supporters and free market/money advocates out there in them crazy Internets. Congressman Paul gets a lot of play in this episode, and rightly so. Not only are Nate and I big supporters of Dr. Paul, but he has been one of the only consistently principled members of Congress (outside of, maybe, Congressman Kucinich and a small handful of others) that has addressed the real issues that are affecting our nation–and who are completely unconcerned whether baseball players are juicing… or who is or is not an “elitist”. Why on earth are our tax dollars and media time wasted on such idiocy?

We’d like to extend our thanks to the supporters of Dr. Paul who have already dropped by and checked out some of the news that we’ve posted. We hope that you, and our new readers that continue to stop in, find what Nate and I do insightful and useful–even if we only manage to blunder through it during the podcast. But, hey, we (or, at the very least, I) blunder through it with great gusto and an unwavering love of our country and the rule of Constitutional law–and that’s all we need, right? :)

Thanks for tuning in.

Kindest regards,
Mike

P.S. - And many thanks to Bill Hicks for the joke that I lifted in the first segment of the show. May he rest in peace.
