Bill,

I've always thought that the extent to which lies and corruption of a government have overtaken the interests of its denizens, is foretold, by the size of its Tax Law rules. Which really aren't rules, but loopholes, as how NOT TO have to pay taxes.

While Canada's Tax Laws are a mere 1700 pages long (3300 pages, but written in both official languages), the USA's are closer to 10,000 pages long. If not more.

While I was able to download the entire Canadian tax laws in a single PDF -

https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/i-3.3/,

I could not for the life of me find anything better than a page where you can search all 10,000 subsections of the United States Internal Revenue Code (Subsection 26)

https://uscode.house.gov/browse/prelim@title26/

That, my dear friends, is a government/republic/democracy in deep doo doo. When you need more than 2 pages, never mind 1700 or 10,000+ pages to explain why you (or your special lobby interest) shouldn't have to pay taxes, you are way past the point of no return.

Apparently, all people are not created equal, according to these two government's tax laws.

Yes folks, we do live in A Corrupt Banana republic, but most still believe the lies spewing in our daily dose of media bullshit. If you could only remember back a few years with 2008, and a few years before, in 2001, and pretty much since the inception of the Reserve, it’s all been about we the people creating wealth for the banking cartel. Will we ever wake up? Doubt it, but we have an opportunity to help each other, help ourselves and families for the next coming fleecing of our personal wealth. I will be here before we know it.

April 7, 2020 the documentary “Tracking down the origin of the wuhan coronavirus” aired on the Epoch Times. Joshua Philipp is the lead reporter. It explained in-depth more than I’ve heard from any other source. However, it was suppressed by main stream media and government agencies. Since then the reports from the Epoch Times have been spot on concerning truth rather than Fauci Fiction. I’d recommend going back and watching as it goes into detail about events at the Wuhan lab and CCP military vs civilian personnel changes as damage control. Just think, if this data had been mainstreamed as it should have been, it would have pointed to US bioweapons of mass destruction development in a foreign country.

Great post Bill! Cowardice combined with economic illiteracy is one lethal cocktail. The lockdowns will go down as the biggest government mistake of all time. To actually think they could paper over this mistake is the pinnacle of stupidity. The cowardice bill is coming due and there is nothing these economically illiterate apparatchiks can do to prevent it. Trump deserved to be shown the door for these colossal screw-ups. Now that the precedent has been set here comes the climate lockdowns.

Good news for those of us who took Zantac and then heard it causes cancer:

“There is no scientist outside this litigation who concluded ranitidine causes cancer, and the Plaintiffs’ scientists within this litigation systemically utilized unreliable methodologies with a lack of documentation on how experiments were conducted, a lack of substantiation for analytical leaps, a lack of statistically significant data, and a lack of internally consistent, objective, science-based standards for the evenhanded evaluation of data,” wrote Judge Rosenberg, dismissing the lawsuits.

Another droplet in the Sea of Lies.

Bill, you take the words out of my mouth. If a politician's mouth is moving, he is lying. Like the student loan lie, and the Medicare lies on television. I think maybe Biden is letting all the people run up their credit cards so that when the campaign starts for 2024, he will promise to pay back that debt to get some votes from the poor unwashed. What I don't get, is the folks that will repeat these same stories over and over when they have already been debunked. Do they think we are "stoopid" as Judge Jeanine Pirro says? I look for truth where ever I think it is and it ain't DC. Just sayin'

PS- That is where the "red wave" went in the election. Bought by the Biden lie of student loan payback!!

As Hannah Arendt stated in her brilliant Crises of the Republic: “Leftist Academia eventually destroys its’ subject”. That would be plural: Subjects, and would include everything from History to Economics and yes, of course, Science. And Destruction is the opaquely understood goal all along; in the end it is the sawing off of the limb one is sitting on. Turning to the destroyed science of Economics, we shouldn’t wonder at the result. Some of us shall always wonder why the rest of us sat by and watched it all unfold for so long. Oh yeah I forgot. Conservatives don’t do Culture.

"They expect OTHERS to serve in uniform ..."

You are just losing it today.

My family is conservative as they come. They have served in every major war from the Revolution to Gulf War 1.

What are you talking about?

It is the Left that doesn't serve.

Gold...Gold..Gold Gold Gold!

Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaalllllll!!!!! (World Cup Enthusiasm!)

Hahaha!

Will the uptick last? We shall see!

Gold $10,000!?!

Perhaps, let’s call Rickards! Citibank! Fort Knox! The Pentagon! Maybe the Libs will announce a new tax on Gold! To rip you off even more! 😂

ES: Or do as Roosevelt did: Commanded all citizens to surrender their gold to the government.

Citizens were permitted to own no more than $100 in gold coins, except for rare coins with special value for collectors.

Hi Dorothy -

I seriously doubt that around 40% of the Country would comply with that edict, and in all likelihood it would be unnecessary for the "government" to try.

Different times and most citizens don't own Gold or see its value anyway.

These two videos are stunning IMO. If you've never seen them, they are worth a quick look - granted they are filmed in California and are edited to obviously show a particular slant, but man - HOLY COW!! Prepare to shake your head at the combination of economic illiteracy and success of our "education" and "banking" systems in perverting the population's concept of "real" money...

Pull a Roosevelt in our fine modern times? First thing that comes to mind is Revolution 1, Beatles, 1968! 😂

“say you got a real solution

Well, you know

We'd all love to see the plan

You ask me for a contribution

Well, you know

We're all doing what we can”

Volunteer for Salvation Army to get free rare coins with special value for collectors. $2,000 a pop, being dropped in collection cans, like Forrest Gump said, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.” 😂

SE, ES. There are different scenario that could happen. I was just reminding you of what Roosevelt did which was despicable to those who had to comply. None of my relatives had any gold...but I do.

Absolutely Dorothy,

Anytime a government entity forces you to do something of that nature, in the name of their best unconstitutional interest, it creates long-term negative public rapport towards the governing agencies that oversee our democracy.

The tax code was initially created to help society prosper but eventually manipulated to significantly enhance the life styles of the elite.

I don’t utilize gold as a primary investment strategy, but it’s good to have some around.

I bet if gold ever skyrockets to like $10,000 an ounce, the government will find ways to charge hidden fees when converting it to currency. 😂

ES: Thanks for your comments. I don't utilize gold as my primary investment either. I am very diversified.

Good article. My only negative is you cited the 401k stat: 0.5% of 5 million have tapped their 401k savings. That is 25,000 people.

Small number. Over 50,000 people visit Anaheim Disneyland each day. So that number is noise and not signal. It shouldn't be evidence of the breakdown of the middle class. No unnecessary fear mongering allowed sir! Cheers.

Different subject?

If I sell at stock at it's peak, which entity or person purchase that stock?

Expand full comment

In simple layman’s terms, some goober thinking it will end up higher than your peak or plans on shorting it to make a profit, unless he’s a complete goober and buys the stock just to own it.

Regardless of the situation, that sounds pretty much like the workings of a goober. 😂

On www.USA watchdog.com, Greg Hunter covers the GOP27. Global meeting to destroy American. Scary information that isn’t covered by the fake media. Americans should know about it since the middle class will be paying for it.

Greetings. I've tried to contact Joel concerning his new book. I get this message:

That undeliverable failed email message status means that the CIA is screening your emails Duke!

J/K

I only use the Substack app and I have never seen that email for Mr. Bowman before, unless he included it in an article or something, but under his profile, no such email exists.

He has a Twitter and Linkedin link you can click and follow under his profile information, and also an Amazon link to his book. You can find that information in the Substack application. I use an iPhone 11, serial # 236354234 IP address 198.22.64241. J/K 😹

Anyway, the only email contact info for The Bonner Private Research Team, other than Mr. Bonner’s personal telephone number that Chelsea Clinton gave me, (he still uses a landline) J/K, 😂, is:

research@bonnerprivateresearch.com

Hope this helps in some way.

Bill, I agree with most of your writing. However, I think you incorrectly qualify the US aid to Ukraine. The aid is not an economy issue as you write but rather a security issue. So, our expenses are small part of payment for blood spending Ukrainians to defend the free world. If Ukraine looses the war, then this our blood that should shed to defend the NATO countries. Besides, Russia, first time after WWII, threaten to use nuclear weapon first. This completely destroy nuclear stability equation because it produces incentive to the opponent to use nuclear weapon first . In fact, Russia is even higher threat to the World than the Soviets.

It's shameful to tell those of us that opposed all of this COVID chicanery from the beginning that we only have "20/20" hindsight.

Just because a person was fooled by the Establishment, that includes Trump, is not a reason to foist that error on the rest of us.

Man up. Admit you were wrong and try to learn something for those that were not fooled so it doesn't happen to you again.

Exactly correct Mr. Webb.

But it will never happen. Even the people on "our side" who got suckered just as bad as the lefties will never admit it. Sadly, unlike most scams this one IS costing the lives of tens-of-thousands who took an experimental "vaccine", and even to this day many survivors REFUSE to acknowledge reality. Oh well - not our job to educate anyone and all you get is attacked for even trying. To be harangued after the fact by individuals who trusted the "government" when they should have known better (and the EVIDENCE was voluminous to NOT believe what we were being told) is just a bridge too far for me. They can wallow in their stubborness as people die suddenly, babies miscarry and kids stroke-out all around them.

Pride, Pride, Pride...

Your post indicates that you never understood (perhaps still don't) who you are dealing with when in comes to our government.

Facts? I just never believed their obvious lies from the start.

"Scary" covid is not the first disease to come from China nor is the first disease that has faced mankind.

The lies in the news reports in January, spoken with so much authority, were obvious to many of us. Sorry you fell for it. (I fondly remember the Chinese swaying and dropping dead in the streets on video. Sure they did.)

No testing for me. No vax for my family. No believing the government was there to help. They weren't. Also, they are not done "helping" yet.

Better wake up soon.

There is a small book written by Sir James Goldsmith warning about the lie of free trade, called, “The Trap.”
