They’re Taking A Wrecking Ball To The “American Reality”
They’re Taking A Wrecking Ball To The “American Reality”

Last September-- a bit more than seven months ago-- my father died. Technically he was my step-father, but he was every bit my dad, and I loved him. The loss was hard. We didn’t do a memorial service right away, though. My mother understandably just wasn’t in the right frame of mind. So we waited… until last weekend, and held the memorial service at the George Bush Presidential Center at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
It was a good thing my mother booked such a large venue; the memorial service was incredibly well attended, and nearly 500 people came to pay their respects.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the world is losing faith in the United States dollar... and rapidly turning to alternatives. And that’s a huge deal for the United States.
For nearly eight decades, the US economy and US government have enjoyed the unparalleled benefits of the dollar being the world’s reserve currency.

By the summer of 1563, all of Britain had plunged into chaos over religion and the Reformation. King Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic church back in the 1530s, sparking a near civil war within the kingdom. Protestants killed Catholics, Catholics killed protestants, and extreme social tensions lasted for decades.
Universities were at the heart of this conflict; rather than focus on real subjects like science and mathematics, students and professors became radical social activists and turned their schools into ideological echo chambers. Sound familiar?

Thousands of years ago on the 27th of July, 54 BC, the famed Roman senator Cicero wrote a letter to his friend Atticus complaining about all the corruption and bribery that was destroying Rome’s political system. There was an important election taking place that year for Roman consul, which had once been considered among the highest political offices in the republic.
But by 54 BC, the consuls were just political stooges… because the real power was held behind the scenes by none other than Julius Caesar, and his rival Pompey the Great.

On March 11, 2011, an earthquake in the Pacific Ocean caused a tsunami to strike Japan. You probably remember seeing this in the news, because, directly in the path of the tsunami sat the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
As the waves crashed into the reactors, the plant’s cooling systems lost power and the nuclear reactors overheated. Pressure built until explosions spewed radioactive materials into the environment.

In late 1999, I was speeding along Interstate 88 in upstate New York, in a big hurry to go see my girlfriend at the time, when I saw flashing red-and-blue lights in my rearview mirror. My heart sank as I pulled over, knowing that the speeding ticket I was about to receive would be financially devastating.
But I was extremely lucky.
The New York State Trooper who pulled me over noticed my short hair, my youth, and military ID, and he asked me if I was a West Point cadet. I was. And then, for some reason I still don't understand to this day, he let me off with just a warning.

Letter from the Editor:
If you do any investing, especially in commodities, then you’ve likely heard the name Marin Katusa.
Several of our subscribers, in fact, have spoken very highly of his research, having made money the last time we shared a few of his findings. That’s why I’m doing the same this week. Marin has a knack for timing. And right now, gold is at $2,020/oz. This letter came across our desk this morning, so I’m passing it along to you in case this is the kind of opportunity you’d like to consider. It’s long, but I’d encourage you to read all the way through. Caveat – as with any kind of investing, there is risk involved. But part of our job is to share opportunities we find with you.

Paris. Such a romantic city. Sip coffee at a sidewalk bistro, while you take in the wafting smell of burning rubber from the street fires. Take a picture with the Eiffel Tower, as you dodge incoming tear-gas canisters. Enjoy the ambiance as you stroll the alleys between 5,600 metric tons of garbage currently rotting on the sidewalks.
See, the sanitation workers’ union is one of several currently on strike in Paris.
They and over a million protesters have lit fires in the streets, destroyed property, and sparred with riot police over the past weeks.

At the center of Sovereign Man’s core ethos is the indisputable view that the United States is in decline.
I take absolutely zero pleasure in writing that statement. But it’s incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to objectively appraise the bountiful evidence at hand and not reach the same conclusion.
Consider the following:
US government finances are appallingly bad. The national debt exceeds 100% of GDP, annual deficits run into the trillions of dollars with no end in sight, and major trust funds for Social Security and Medicare will soon run out of money.

Practically on cue, politicians began their public hearings yesterday about the recent banking crisis.
This was so predictable; every time there’s a major crisis, Congressmen book a committee meeting to express their shock and outrage. They pass new laws to prevent a future crisis. Then their new laws fail to work properly, so they hold another public hearing to express more outrage.
This is the cycle of political problem solving, and yesterday was no exception.
New IRS Report Provides Fascinating Glimpse Into Your “Fair Share”
New IRS Report Provides Fascinating Glimpse Into Your “Fair Share”

Every year the IRS publishes a detailed report on the taxes it collects. And the statistics are REALLY interesting. A few weeks ago the agency released its most recent report. So this is the most objective, up-to-date information that exists about taxes in America..
This is important, because, these days, it’s common to hear progressive politicians and woke mobsters calling for higher income earners and wealthier Americans to pay their “fair share” of taxes. But this report, directly from the US agency whose job it is to tax Americans, shows the truth:
