Brief Tour of Current Events
April 25, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher A while back, I wrote an article about the revolving doors between politicians, the regulatory industry of government, and the private sector. First they had a hand in writing the laws, then they had a hand in administering the regulatory guidelines, and then they join forces with private […]
Inflation Nation
April 21, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher “Savers are being boiled alive in the liquid hubris of neo-Keynesian economists explicitly in the service of the State.” Tim Price Central banks are charged with a certain responsibility. A responsibility that has long since been obscured and phased out in lieu of politicking and posturing. Sadly, when […]
US Banking = Selling Marks
April 14, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher This past Saturday, I got a personal taste of fractional reserve banking. I recently switched car insurance companies, so my former policy prorated the monthly premium, and paid me out the balance. They issued me a check in the amount of $86.50. I went to deposit it at […]
Somalia: Not What You’d Think!
April 7, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher I’m sure by now, if you’ve so much as questioned the righteousness of the American government, foreign or domestic, you are immediately chastised and told any combination of the following: If you don’t like it, leave! No one is making you stay here! Why don’t you just go […]

March 31, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher My mom and I got into a discussion about transportation and manufacturing in the United States as opposed to other countries like China, Malaysia or Singapore. I came to an interesting realization: we can buy products that were manufactured in a way that is illegal here in the […]

March 20, 2014 By: Bobby Casey, GWP Managing Director Two weeks ago I met with one of the European banks, with which our firm has worked closely for more than four years. This meeting was to update us on the bank’s new policies and procedures for bringing on new clients. As we discussed several items […]
An American Warning
March 17, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher It’s interesting that when Obama first introduced the idea of the “Affordable Care Act”, his critics and supporters alike looked to the Massachusetts experiment implemented by one Mitt Romney. Is Massachusetts an example of success or failure? If you Google “Massachusetts healthcare exchange successful?” you will find some […]
Cronyism Strikes Again!
March 14, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Just this past weekend there were some Americans who were given the gift of jetlag from their respective state governments. This gift is endearingly called “daylight savings”. For those not familiar or accustomed to this bi-annual practice, it’s when you go to sleep one night… and without the […]
