In Nothing We Trust: Part 1/5

Part one of a paper I wrote this past semester on the nature of money, central banking, and the Fed. I’ve broken it up in several sections so that it will be able to be read and critiqued in installments, probably one every few days. Feedback is of course appreciated. Enjoy.

IN NOTHING WE TRUST: THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FEDERAL RESERVE

by Joshua R. Kern

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”   — Thomas Jefferson

Will Buchanan found a creative way to promote the Free State Project. He signed up to become a participant and then began walking from Oregon to New Hampshire. He’s due to cross the New Hampshire state line around 11am this Sunday. Read about Will and The Walk for Liberty on his website, where you can subscribe to his daily videos or make a contribution toward his costs.

Walk for Liberty Arrival DELAYED Until 12/14!

UPDATE: There will be a welcoming party to meet The Walk For Liberty at the New Hampshire border. This is now scheduled to occur December 14th at 11:00am on Route 9, at the border between Brattleboro, VT and NH. Volunteers from the crowd will then walk with Will Buchanan to Keene, and later, to the seacoast.

Rumor has is the Buchanans will be visiting Social Sundays at Vendetta in Keene at 4pm.

It all started with a simple question. What can one person do to spread the message of Liberty? After 8 months, 3100 miles and 7 pairs of shoes Will Buchanan has found the answer. Will started the Walk for Liberty on April 14 from Cannon Beach, Oregon and will be crossing his last state line into New Hampshire Saturday Dec. 13th. The Walk for Liberty is a quest to let as many people as possible know about the loss of freedoms in the United States of America .

Each day Will has made a video of his trip. These videos are available on his blog at http://walkforliberty.com. If you want a primer on libertarianism and its interaction with the real world, watch these videos. As an added bonus, you can enjoy the stunning scenery – America on foot. (more…)

My Useless Chat with the NH “Department of Justice”

This audio is boring as hell and mostly useless except to prove that government people aren’t interested in giving answers to important questions regarding their legitimacy. The “Department of Justice” spokesman Richard Head was nice enough to allow me to record the call and was certainly friendly in his non-responses, when he could have been mean and nasty, so credit to him for being at least approachable. Here’s the audio file.

I don’t think it’s possible to get answers from these people. Clearly the government masters are not going to point the way off the plantation. If you can think of a better way to go about this, please post your ideas to the comments area. (more…)
