This Time It’ll Be Different!
April 27, 2015 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Some people say that America was the great experiment, founded on liberty and freedom.

Legal Tender Isn’t So Legal
April 20, 2015 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher A story from four years ago reveals its true relevance when pieced together with the rest of the puzzle: the government on every level wants full control over your transactions, because it wants full control over your assets and how you move them around. I’ve travelled quite […]
Russian Ruble Rebound
April 13, 2015 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher The US has marginalized quite a few countries over the years through sanctions and embargoes… never mind the wars it starts, funds, or carries out on these foreign lands.

Walls Going Up… and Closing in
February 16, 2015 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher The tax code is like a growing zit. It’s painful and I want so desperately to pop it. There are nearly 74,000 pages in that code.
