How To Dismantle the American Empire - Ludwig von Mises Institute

By : The WikiLeaks revelations have shined a light on the dark nature of U.S. foreign policy, including, as Eric Margolis recently described it: Washington’s heavy-handed treatment of friends and foes alike, its bullying, use of diplomats as junior-grade spies, narrow-minded views, and snide remarks about world leaders.”
As much as I, an American, hate to say it, U.S. foreign policy is actually much worse. It is aggressive, reckless, belligerent, and meddling. It sanctions the destabilization and overthrow of governments, the assassination of leaders, the destruction of industry and infrastructure, the backing of military coups, death squads, and drug traffickers, and imperialism under the guise of humanitarianism. It supports corrupt and tyrannical governments and brutal sanctions and embargoes. It results in discord, strife, hatred, and terrorism toward the United States.
The question, then, is simply this: Can U.S. foreign policy be fixed? Although I am not very optimistic that it will be, I am more than confident that it can be.
I propose a four-pronged solution from the following perspectives: Founding Fathers, military, congressional, libertarian. In brief, to fix its foreign policy the United States should implement a Jeffersonian foreign policy, adopt Major General Smedley Butler’s Amendment for Peace, follow the advice of Congressman Ron Paul, and do it all within the libertarian framework of philosopher Murray Rothbard.

Farce of Scottish Independence - Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert with Dominic Frisby

Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the 'debate' on Scottish Independence looking a lot like a farce as, for example, Scotland and England 'fight' for the right to keep the Royal Bank of Scotland. They also ask Alex Salmond, why be yet another nation on the chain gang, when you can be the first on the block chain? Be the first new nation to launch itself on the blockchain and ditch the old fraud and crony based model.

The Birth Of The New 3rd World Dollar - Jim Willie

By The Doc: The solution within the global currency reset is the launch of the new American Dollar, for its own usage, no longer a global reserve currency.
The United States is fast racking up characteristics of a Third World nation. Its finances are Third World. Its president is Third World. Its banking integrity is Third World. Its absent industry is Third World. Its decaying cities are Third World. It urgently begs for a Third World currency, but that is soon to be remedied. The nation has been a freeloader on the global reserve currency for too long.

That is about to end.
