“I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

“In third world countries a traffic stop can be made to ‘go away’ for ten bucks or so. In the good ol’ USA, land of the free and home of the brave, it’s an opportunity to take everything in your wallet, everything in your car and maybe the car too. No warrant, no charge, just straight up theft. Congress—the people’s representatives, ask ’em—thought this up. The Supreme Court says it’s legal because it’s the property being charged, not you. It’s a legal concept from Medieval times. Karma awaits, and it’s never disappointed.” – Ol’ Remus, writing again in The Woodpile …
“A hand from Washington will be stretched out and placed upon every man’s business; the eye of the Federal inspector will be in every man’s counting house… The law will of necessity have inquisitorial features, it will provide penalties, it will create complicated machinery. Under it men will be hailed into courts distant from their homes. Heavy fines imposed by distant and unfamiliar tribunals will constantly menace the tax payer.

“Paper and digital currency based on debt – which we pretend is money – is a flawed system. A flawed system, some would say a fraudulent system, will eventually crash. $27 Billion daily increase in debt is a strong indication that much is deeply wrong in the global financial system. Perhaps its expiration date is near.” – Gary Christenson (aka The Deviant Investor)
“What America has succeeded in creating is not an economy impervious to shocks, but merely one which enables their consequences to be postponed to a later date. Unfortunately, that date may have finally arrived.” – Peter Schiff
