The economist John Maynard Keynes once wrote:

"By this means, government may secretly & unobserved confiscate the wealth of the people, & not one man in a million, will detect the theft."

By forcing more currency into circulation, our purchasing power is diluted. Inflation is a slow & insidious stealth tax, that is simply the result of this in dept-based monetary system. This system empowers & benefits those who create the currency & receive it first as they get to spend it into circulation before it has an effect on the economy.

They're stealing purchasing power from YOU & ME & transferring it to the banks & the government, every hour of every day, because of this false monetary system.

And it's not like the people at the top don't know this.

To quote the Federal Reserve:

“The decrease in purchasing power, incurred by the holders of money, due to inflation, imparts gains to the issuers of money."

This is a fraud, it is a pyramid scheme, it is a Ponzi scheme, it's a scam and it's a lie. Our entire monetary system is nothing but a form of legalized theft.

The entire world is facing a debt driven disaster the scale of which has never been seen before in human history.

The situation is now so severe, that we're left with only two options: default on our debt, or inflate it away.

You can already hear people blaming the free markets & even money itself for our problems & to me this is just tragic.

Because we don't have free markets any more & we certainly don't use real money.

This is the real reason for our problems: Our money itself has been corrupted.

It's not just an issue of economics, this affects YOUR freedom.

When this crisis hits, people will be screaming for the government to do something, when it was the government who caused the problems in the first place.

Many societies have faced this dilemma in the past & we can learn what the outcome might be simply by studying what they did and comparing it to what we're doing today.

True wealth is your time, but we trade away moments in our lives hour by hour, day by day, and year by year for numbers that somebody printed on pieces of paper or just typed into a computer.

Now those numbers represent our blood, sweat, tears, labor, ideas and talent.
