Some people have asked whether there is some legal means to readjust government and hold politicians accountable. There was once upon a time the legal right of Quo Warranto. This is a Latin phrase meaning “By what authority”. It sounds very nice; I even wrote a motion to demand by what authority does a judge have to hold someone […]

The greatest exports of the United States have been McDonalds, blue jeans, rock ‘n’ roll, and of course laws that they stretch to worldwide jurisdiction. All roads lead to Washington, not Rome.

Austria is where the Sovereign Debt Crisis began with a bank failure in 1931. Today, Austria continues to have a raging controversy over the abolition of bank secrecy. Just look at how far they are going against the citizens because of bank mismanagement, once again, and it is scaring the hell out of a lot […]

Switzerland has caved in entirely and has sealed its own demise. Everything that made Switzerland the place to be, from religion to economic freedom, is becoming lost thanks to bureaucrats. Switzerland began as a tax revolt; William Tell would be rolling over in his grave if he knew what this country has just done. Swiss […]
