The current US government has become “a form of fraud that pays profits to earlier investors with funds from more recent investors” – in other words, a Ponzi scheme. No doubt the social security, Medicare/Medicaid and government retirement systems meet this definition of fraud directly. But we may also apply it to other sectors of the federal
Alexei Navalny – seen as a pro-democracy, transparency, anti-corruption Russian nationalist gadfly – died while on a walk in his Siberian prison. He was serving a long sentence, one the Biden administration raged about: the Russian judiciary had convicted him of several crimes including fraud, embezzlement, “inciting extremist activities” and
If we look long enough and hard enough, we might find an example of something in the US is not by the state, of the state and for the state. But it’s becoming more difficult.

Alexei Nalvani, considerado un tábano nacionalista ruso a favor de la democracia, la transparencia y la lucha contra la corrupción, murió mientras paseaba por su prisión siberiana. Cumplía una larga condena, por la que el gobierno de Biden se enfureció: la justicia rusa le había condenado por varios delitos, entre ellos fraude, malversación de
Tal vez nació así; tal vez es anfetamina. Dejando a un lado el eslogan icónico de Maybelline, el consenso es que Brandon el Oscuro estaba bien dopado para su discurso sobre el Estado de la Unión. Hemos estado viendo señales de que el viejo Joe está médicamente preparado para grandes apariciones públicas. Su voz chillona y su rabia apenas
What is the Mises Institute?
The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.
