The seeds of destruction of the world's global order were sewn in 1944 at the Bretton Woods conference. Government plans that were hatched there led directly to the IMF and the World Bank. The people of the United States were locked into a trajectory that would ultimately collapse in failure, why? The answer could explained this way. To carry out a system of coercion and force, it must appear to work, at least for a while. If not, the people won't support it and it wouldn't last long enough to pass on to future generation to carry on the deception. But these schemes always collapse in failure because they are man's attempt to evade reality. To escape the discipline that life naturally imposes on human beings. As Bastiat said, the LAW is perverted so that the few can plunder the many. The problem is that we ended up promoting democracy where everybody votes and now everybody plunders everybody. It's all an attempt to escape the inevitable. There is no free lunch and man must provide for himself and his family. WE have let collectivism and guilt get the best of us and it is coming to a rapid end.

John Mackey, the founder of Whole Foods is a great capitalist, but he is also one of its greatest ambassadors. I first realized this fun fact years ago when I read a book called The Morality of Capitalism. It features chapters written by great capitalist about what makes capitalism important to them and why. Mr. Mackey is someone who has spent a great deal of time thinking about capitalism, why it works and why it's the system that has led to the greatest prosperity for the most people. In this talk he reflects on some of these ideas as well as why he believes that the entire system is under attack by its critics.

As many of you will no doubt already know, many of the problems that plague the United States are directly related to our compulsion to evade the reality of utilizing "Honest Money". That is to say, some medium of exchange that CANNOT be produced from NOTHING. It's not surprising that government does NOT want to relinquish this power, but if the people want to avoid being wiped out like the Germans in Weimar Republic, a radically different conversation needs to be introduced into our body politic. The Trump Tariffs will not usher in this conversation, nor will they solve the problem they think it will.

The 2008 Financial Crisis was a huge calamity and caused people to lose their savings, pension, delay retirement and generally distrust the financial markets. With trust in institutions currently sitting a record lows, another financial collapse is the last thing that America needs.

DOGE is the most exciting thing that has happened in the federal government since I've been alive! So why are so many politicians against it? Probably because they're in on the fraud and getting rich on it!

Liberty, Property rights, and Limited Governments are the basic ingredients of a flourishing society. If your society begins to decline, it's because one of these three things is moving in the wrong direction. The important thing about these Tesla crimes is not the threat of "Domestic Terrorism", but rather property rights are under attack. Guido Hulsmann has an excellent book called the Ethics of Money Production, where he makes the case that all of this decline is related to the debasement of money. The undermining of the value of money has an impact on all three of the ingredients of a flourishing society.

100 years from now volumes will be written on the stupidity of the society we're living in today. Things like "Transgender Women" and "Man-made Climate Change" will be ridiculed in the history books. The readers will wonder, how could society have fallen for that, in the same way people wonder today about how Germany went along with the rise of Hitler. The climate is constantly changing and maybe man's existence has some impact, but there is no clear relationship between the CO2 produced by humans and the CO2 in the atmosphere. However, governments around the world have convinced human beings that they should suffer some reduced standard of living to prevent some unproveable calamity in the future. In the meantime, governments create unlimited amounts of money and credit and act as if there is no future calamity on the horizon. Ridiculous!

Living in "REALITY" requires human beings to think, use their tools of perception, wit and skills to survive. In a very real and unusual sense, the tools of government can alter reality. It can alter incentives, use coercion and other tools to manipulate market participants.
