Without your right to have money that holds it’s value, all else just fails because you don’t have any real money.

I’m very proud to say I only took one course in economics in college, and it was on Saturday morning – Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 8 o’clock.

The physical manifestation of gold is nothing more than the physical manifestation of value itself.

When it comes to the Federal Reserve, there’s an awful lot of books out there; in my library, I bet I’ve got 200 books if I’ve got any on the Federal Reserve. And we don’t need any more books,

I’m not the government. Nor would I EVER want to be the government – I don’t know how you feel about government, but I’m not really happy about them.

Most people are cowards.

The thing is that people have been educated or miseducated or brainwashed into believing that this is wayyyy too complicated for regular people to understand and that we need to let PhD economists guide us along in terms of what’s right… and that’s all bull.

And then go after Gibson Guitars and so many other different people… they can go after you, they can go after everybody, we could all be “terrorists.” That’s really the big concern.

The strategy for peace-building in Afghanistan is economic aid, reconstruction, international security forces. On those lines, the U.S. has been extremely slow. And it has even blocked expanding security forces from Kabul to other cities.

The idea of a permanent U.S. military presence in Afghanistan, as opposed to an economic presence, is going to create a new wave of hostility toward the United States.

The problem right now, which I’ve been pointing out very bluntly to American officials in Washington, is that the U.S. has no economic presence in Afghanistan.
