If he isn’t Ben Bernanke’s worst nightmare, I don’t know who is. Here’s another great clip by Presidential-candidate Ron Paul on the role of the Federal Reserve.

What a delight it is to have an empire!
Do the Swiss get to send out drones to kill people they don’t know in countries they’ve never been? No! The poor yodelers go around with long faces and visit their shrinks. Americans have troops in 170 countries. Where are the Swiss? Only in Switzerland and the Vatican. Alas, they will never know the joys of nation building and people murdering.

In case you’ve somehow missed it – which is easy enough to do given the explicit lack of coverage — Dr. Ron Paul’s (R-TX) second-place finish at the Ames Straw Poll seems to have been practically blacked out by mainstream media. At least Jon Stewart bothers to take great comedic pleasure in calling reporters to task for ignoring his candidacy.

August 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment
As The Daily Reckoning’s Addison Wiggin pointed out in Monday’s DR, the debt deal has no teeth. “The $2.5 trillion in spending cuts are, in the immutable logic of Washington, not cutbacks at all… but limits to the planned rate of spending increases,” and worse, “…they don’t kick in until 2013.

Sometimes Ron Paul seems too good to be true. For decades he has championed the cause of liberty and sound monetary and geopolitical policy. He has done this in the very heart of the Leviathan state even as the federal government has accelerated its expansion in the postwar years. Further Dr. Paul has repeatedly presented his case in print in clear language. Liberty Defined is the latest timely addition to those efforts.

Gold remains in high demand among individual investors, hedge funds, and central banks all swapping cash for the yellow metal. This past weekend, an FT reportage looked into what the latest money flows into gold can tell us about it’s real importance.

Devil Deals
Occasionally, when we’ve had too much to drink, we lull ourselves to sleep with the notion that someone like Ron Paul might succeed. Maybe America won’t become a police state after all. Maybe it will abandon its empire and its imperial death-wish before it’s too late. Maybe it will cut its budget and save the dollar.
