All Bark, No Bite
October 21, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher The EU is in an uproar over the Snowden revelations, and rightfully so.

U.S. Capital Controls Firmly in Place Now
October 18, 2013 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director I’ve been saying that capital controls in the US are inevitable for the past four years. Blinded by the irrational belief America is still the best place on earth, most Americans disregarded me and called me a conspiracy theorist. “That would never happen in the US,” they […]

October 2, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher The hyperbolic propaganda surrounding the recent “government shut-down” is rather glaring.
