FOOD FOR THOUGHT

This week I came across a few quotes I found thought provoking and thought I'd pass them along.

""Beware of the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor,
for patriotism is indeed a double edged sword. It emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. When
the drums of war have reached a fervor pitch, and the blood boils with hate and the mind is closed, the leader
will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by
patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and do it gladly so."

How do I know?

I know, for this is what I have done.

And I am,

 "There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit (debt) expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit (debt) expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. "– Ludwig von Mises

"
The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit." –Ralph Waldo Emerson
