Could an Inside Sneak Attack on Bitcoin Destroy It?
This is important.
I’ve been warning about an outside attack on Bitcoin for some time, but the biggest threat may come from inside: from people who profess to love Bitcoin.
The people I’m talking about don’t love Bitcoin itself, and they don’t love the freedom it brings, no matter what they say. Instead they love the money they hope to make by becoming the new techno-riche: successors to Zuckerberg, Gates and the rest. (Yes, ...
Bitcoin: The Tyranny Test
An increasing number of people have complained about governments and central banks in recent years, even using the word “tyranny” to describe them. They are, of course, called names in the establishment press: conspiracy theorists, mainly.
Calling someone a name, however, does not erase their argument (at least not among rational people) and both the governments and the big banks stand accused.
Up till now, however, these accusations were ...
The Forbidden History of Smuggling
Smuggling has been one of the most common economic activities of all time, yet it is all but absent from the historical record. Smuggling has fed the poor and provided a half-decent living to the workers of the world when they faced no other choice but grinding poverty. It was the one way to get affordable goods.
Smuggling was the one and only ‘discount store’ at nearly every place and in every period of history. It made life bearable. ...
Government: Do As I Say, Not As I Do
Guest Editorial from Bobby Casey
GlobalWealthProtection.com
Xenophobic and discriminatory immigration polices further demonstrate the depths to which government will sink to spy into the lives of Americans.
The latest immigration bill is 800 pages on how to worsen the immigration situation, while using immigration as a diversionary issue to institute yet another spy tool on the average citizen.
I find it rather laughable that the thing that made America ...
Paul Rosenberg interviewed on The Lew Rockwell Show
“Does the Internet Have a Libertarian Future?”
… is the big question posed to Paul on the most recent edition of The Lew Rockwell Show.
The answer is yes, but only if the proper actions are taken…

Thomas Jefferson: “We Failed”
Thomas Jefferson – one of my long-time heroes – was convinced that he and his friends blew the chance they had to establish true freedom in America. I know that a hundred thousand self-praising textbooks, speeches, pundits and songs claim that Jefferson and the rest established freedom, but that’s NOT what Jefferson thought, and that is NOT what he said. (You can choose who to believe for yourself.)
Nearly fifty years after the declaration ...
The Saints Who Lost Paradise
[Today’s article comes to us from world traveler and quintessential "international man" Dr. Jack Wheeler.]
Jamestown, St. Helena, South Atlantic Ocean. If you have ever heard of this little 47 square mile island lost in a vast sea, 1,200 miles west of Africa and 1,800 miles east of Brazil, it’s because here is where the British exiled Napoleon after Waterloo, and here is where he died.
The 5.5 years of Napoleon’s exile – October ...
Paul Rosenberg interviewed on One Radio Network
Join Patrick Timpone of One Radio Network as he interviews our very own Paul Rosenberg on a wide variety of topics related to living a life of freedom. Some of the highlights:
Some common misconceptions about the today’s government
Why Founding Father Alexander Hamilton was actually a “very bad guy”
The main problem with hope
Why you’ll never want to send your kids to a public school
The biggest problem with centralized power
Your ...
Don’t Fear The Collapse: The Future Will Be Better
Yes, we’ve all seen scary post-apocalyptic films like Mad Max, or TV shows like Jericho. A real collapse, however, will be quite different from such dramas. And beyond that, there’s a good chance the future will be better.
From where I now live, you could draw a 25 mile arc which would include competent people of almost any imaginable specialty: The guys who know how to build and repair refrigerators, machines of all types, cars and roads ...
Christian Anarchy: Paul Rosenberg with Anarchast Host Jeff Berwick
In this recently recorded interview, Jeff Berwick of The Dollar Vigilante (and host of Anarchast) interviews our very own Paul Rosenberg on what could probably be best described as Christian Anarchy.
From the commonly misunderstood legacy of Abraham to the misguided belief that Christianity and war inherently go together (in fact quite the opposite), there’s a lot of meat in here for people who have been trying to reconcile their Christian beliefs ...
How I Discovered The Hidden Side of History
1981: I was looking through some old books that somehow ended up at my parents’ house. Among them, I found a set of history books from the 1930s. With an innate interest in the topic, I began reading them, and was absolutely shocked by what I found.
The last book of the series covered what were then modern times, and to my horror, I found lavish praise for – of all people – Benito Mussolini.
These were American books, by the way, ...
Freedom Paradise Found
[Today’s article comes to us from world traveler and quintessential "international man" Dr. Jack Wheeler.]
Edinburgh-of-the-Seven-Seas, Tristan da Cunha, South Atlantic Ocean. Welcome to the most isolated community on the planet, on the world’s remotest inhabited island.
Named after the Portuguese captain who discovered it in 1506, Tristão da Cunha, it is 1,736 miles from Africa, and 2,466 miles from South America. The nearest inhabited land ...
The Good Guys Are NOT Coming To Save Us
A lot of Americans know that the US government is out of control. Anyone who has cared enough to study the US Constitution even a little knows this. Still, very few of these people are taking any significant action, and largely because of one error: They are waiting for “the good guys” to show up and fix things.
Some think that certain groups of politicians will pull it together and fix things, or that one magnificent politician will ride ...
Boiling Frogs, Sheep and Lemmings…
People who accept and welcome change are always frustrated by those who oppose and condemn it. Somewhat understandably, they tend to make unattractive comparisons between the stasis people and dumb animals, such as calling them lemmings, sheep or, boiling frogs. And while these comparisons may not be without some basis, they are less than useful.
After all, if you call someone a lemming, they are not likely to consider your arguments very warmly. ...
The Triumph of The Manipulators
The entire “first world” financial system is manipulated. This is no secret – the manipulators not only admit it, but are proud of it. And yes, I am referring to central banks: manipulation is what they do. I really don’t have any inside information on this, except that I’ve heard a lot of confidential stories from Comex traders. (Don’t trust Comex for a second.)
So, manipulation is a given. What I’m referring ...
Bitcoin Should Get Ready For an Attack
Bitcoin – poorly understood and frequently talked about ignorantly – is a wonderful new financial tool… and a very timely one. But because of its virtues, it is about to be attacked.
But before I explain how, why, and my recommended responses, let me get everyone up to speed on what this stuff really is:
Bitcoin is digital cash. You do not get an account, you get a wallet. Holding Bitcoin on a computer is the same as holding government ...
Christianity and War: Do they go together?
Yes, I know that there are some churches and individual Christians who don’t approve of war, but a huge wing of Christianity in the US has put itself in service to a warfare state. Listening to them, you’d think that Christianity and war were natural bedfellows. If you’ve spent time in Red State America, you know what I mean.
Please understand that I am not endorsing the Blue State line of crap either (I reject both wings of the ...
Cyprus – Casualties of Plunder: Condemning an Ethic into Exile
Guest Editorial from Bobby Casey
GlobalWealthProtection.com
The deal struck for Cypriot Banks targeted “evil money launderers and tax evaders” as well as wealthy oligarchs, but really plunders the hardworking saver and entrepreneurs.
While emotions run high, and the victims of this absurd plunder are myriad, there is a culpable group responsible for this mess, and it’s safe to say it’s not EVERYONE with a Cypriot account holding ...
Death by Government 20x More Common than Death by Criminal…
Before I shock you with disturbing “Death by Government” facts, let me ask you a question: How important is reality to you? That’s a strange question, I know, but think about it for a second. If reality makes you uncomfortable, what should you do?
Should you ignore it? Should you face it anyway? Should you find reasons to get rid of it? Should you attack the person who showed it to you?
You will find nothing in this article about ...
Will Government Tyranny Be Completed Before Humanity Wakes Up Again?
All of our lives have occurred in an era of peak somnambulism (a.k.a. sleepwalking), and those of us who enjoy being awake have suffered mightily because of it. Using your mind has come with a price in our time, which is pretty sick, really. You can thank growing government tyranny for that.
Humanity, however, does not sleep forever. Eventually humans get tired with the permanent suspension of thought. I know that none of us have ever seen that in ...
