Don’t Get Sick of Obamacare!
May 4, 2015 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Has Obamacare become a worn out subject to you yet? I mean, has it just played out from every angle, and at this point it’s so far gone, you’ve thrown your hands in the air and accepted the fact that it’s here to stay? Nothing you can do. […]
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. I think America has proven to be on some horrible Groundhog’s Day loop founded on the tragic, famous last words, “This time it’ll be different”. This phrase resurfaces every single election cycle. It resurfaces […]
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.

In Defense of Walmart
April 6, 2015 (April 10, 2015: Correction to financial claims about Walmart. See below, after end of original article.)

Greater Scrutiny of American Bank Transactions
March 30, 2015 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher It would appear we are commemorating Woodrow Wilson’s tattle policies by reinstituting them… with a British twist. What happens when Wilson-era policies (A) and British banking policies (B) give each other a “special hug”? Well, that’s an experiment I hoped would never come to pass given the unethical […]
Playing By The Rules
March 23, 2015 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher I cannot be the only person in the United States who has asked themselves – with regards to many government activities – “Is this really legal?!” Not that legality has anything to do with morality or what’s right and wrong, but it does have something to do with […]
Iceland Rescinds Its Bid for EU Membership
March 16, 2015 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Iceland recently made public its intention to withdraw its bid for European Union membership. It placed its bid for membership back in 2009, when the financial crisis was at a head. The fall of Lehman Brothers in the United States toppled three of Iceland’s largest banks, so at […]
Modern Indentured Servitude?
March 9, 2015 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher I remember back in grade school I was told that Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and made us all equal. I also remember when I grew up and read more about American history since the Emancipation Proclamation, figuring out that the grade-school claim was only half right. Abraham […]
Ridesharing: A Lesson In Deregulation?
March 2, 2015 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Back in October of last year, I wrote about the challenges ride-share businesses such as Uber, Lyft and Sidecar, are facing (“Constipated Economy”).
