Property Right: The One And Only
June 9, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher For whatever reason, this past week has been a battle for property right on the interwebs! I had two major discussions, both of which ultimately lead to the same conclusion. The first was regarding the Isla Vista shooting/stabbing and the other regarding amassing wealth. The Isla Vista Shooting/Stabbing […]
Snowden’s Relevant Revelations
June 2, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher This past week, Edward Snowden did his first American MSM interview with NBC’s Brian Williams. Admittedly, I found it rather lackluster.

May 29, 2014 By: Diane Kennedy, CPA After this exciting headline, your first question might be, “What is FATCA and why do I care?” Let’s start there.

“I Will Fight No More Forever”
May 26, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher It’s that lovely time of year again, when I fire up my political barbeque and throw some nationalistic jingo-patties on the grill!

May 14, 2014 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director of GWP Yesterday, I began a four-week trip taking me through Switzerland, Italy, the US and Paraguay.

Science Not-So Fiction
May 12, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Penny for your thoughts? Next time you see a penny, think of its relative size to an RFID chip! I usually assign about a 1:20 ratio of news coverage to what’s actually going on. For example, there’s all sorts of things our government is doing about which no […]
What Deference Does it Make?
May 5, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Have you heard the catch phrases “taxation is theft” or “inflation is taxation”? While they are quite accurate in their depictions, there is a bigger picture to the theft perpetrated by the state… especially in the United States. Let’s put the taxes and quantitative easing aside for the […]
Let’s Get Back to the Constitution??
April 28, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher I hear a lot of people saying “We should get back to the Constitution!” And I have to wonder what they actually mean. Do they mean the Constitution we have NOW? Or the Constitution of 1787 or the one with the Bill of Rights in 1791? Or the […]
