Ron Paul Was Right (Again) - WiM Weekly
A weekly rundown of new WiM podcast releases and some food for thought
"Inflation, or the destruction of money, is the most insidious tax of all. It is the tax that is least understood and most opposed to liberty. When the government inflates the currency, it takes money from the people through the loss of purchasing power, and it does so without the people's consent." — Ron Paul
Happy 89th birthday to Dr. Ron Paul, who has tirelessly warned of the dangers posed by the Federal Reserve, the unchecked power of central banks, and the inevitable consequences of fiat money.
“It is no coincidence that the century of total war coincided with the century of central banking.” — Ron Paul
Inflation is legalized counterfeiting. Counterfeiting is criminalized inflation.
“A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank.” — Ron Paul
“Government is limited in how much it can tax the people directly. People ultimately rebel against high taxes. So, as an unconstitutional “workaround,” government granted a monopoly to The Fed. Now, if government wants more money, The Fed just prints (i.e. counterfeits) it. The people still pay for this, of course; just not directly. It’s hidden. The people pay when they see rising prices in the marketplace. The government then just blames something else as the cause…” — Ron Paul
“But let it not be said that we did nothing. Let not those who love the power of the welfare/warfare state label the dissenters of authoritarianism as unpatriotic or uncaring. Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security. Understanding the magnificent rewards of a free society makes us unbashful in its promotion, fully realizing that maximum wealth is created and the greatest chance for peace comes from a society respectful of individual liberty.” — Ron Paul
This Week:
WiM508 with Curt Doolittle
“Western man is paying into a system right now that’s actually trying to kill him off … We had this great period that ended around 1970. What we did in the 1960’s undermined all the stuff that made it possible for us to be a homogenous, high trust [society]. Abortion, the pill, women in the workplace, and this presumption that the family would continue as the central foundation of the civilization … It’s taken from about the early 1970’s to now for conservatives and libertarians to give up hope, which means they actually have to do something. We actually have to do something because this enemy will win. They will destroy property, they will destroy responsibility, they will destroy natural selection, they will restore scarcity, and they will drive us back into another Dark Age like they did the last time.” — Curt Doolittle

WiM509 with Giovanni Santostasi (BTC Power Law)
“Bitcoin is a force of nature. It’s beautiful. All the things that we talk about as Bitcoiners: Bitcoin is like nature, it’s intelligent, it’s like a city, etc. Out intuition is telling us that there is something different about Bitcoin. It’s not a normal asset. Now, we have a mathematical proof [showing that].” — Giovanni Santostasi

God I wish Ron Paul got to be president. His speeches really opened my eyes to what our US gov't really is. Waste and pandering, Liars wasting our future, lies for likes.
