President Trump is trying to remake U.S. foreign policy such that he can bring the troops home and rule the world through continued financial dominance. In an outstanding article at Strategic Culture Foundation, Alistair Crooke lays out the argument (see link below). Trump will not be successful because of Triffin's Paradox, among other things. The … Continue reading Gold Goats n’ Guns Live – Nordstream 2 and Trump’s Losing Battle Against History

Gold Goats ‘n Guns Live – SCOTUS Defends Businesses for Wrong Reasons – Let Them Eat Cake in the EU
Issues like the Baker vs. the Gay Couple are designed to distract from the core problem and focus on the emotional one used by Progressives to advance a tyrannical agenda. Colorado's anti-discrimination law, while well-intentioned, is fundamentally wrong. It infringes on the rights of property owners to decide who is and who is not their … Continue reading Gold Goats ‘n Guns Live – SCOTUS Defends Businesses for Wrong Reasons – Let Them Eat Cake in the EU
What Goes Around Comes Around in Spain
Mariano Rajoy is gone from Spain's political scene. And good riddance. Live by the sword die by the ballot box. Catalan and Basque separatists took their revenge on Rajoy's brutal crackdown on last year's Catalan independence movement by voting with the Socialists and Podemos to oust Rajoy from power. The political situation in Spain has … Continue reading What Goes Around Comes Around in Spain
Gold Goats ‘n Guns Live – Next Stop, Italeave and Upending the EU
Italy has a new government. It looks a lot like the government that President Mattarella vetoed the first time. The long knives are already out on both sides and it looks like the Italians are taking the fight directly to Brussels to reform or die. You can't win a war like this by being passive … Continue reading Gold Goats ‘n Guns Live – Next Stop, Italeave and Upending the EU
Salvini is the Real Deal in Italy’s Fight With Brussels
The latest moves by leader of The League, Matteo Salvini, confirm for me that he is the real deal. By nominating another hard-ass Euroskeptic as Finance Minister, Giovanni Tria, Salvini proves he's not some feckless (the word of the day apparently) swamp-dweller. Rather, he's a smooth and dangerous political opponent for the powers-that-be in Brussels. … Continue reading Salvini is the Real Deal in Italy’s Fight With Brussels

Private Blog – Italy and the Euro
Big day here in money-land. The European Union has proven to be exactly what it appeared to be, an authoritarian nightmare of Orwellian proportions. I have a new Private Blog post up for Patrons covering what to do about this and how to profit from it. If you aren't a Patron follow that link and … Continue reading Private Blog – Italy and the Euro
Gold Goats ‘n Guns Live – A Coup in Italy, No Country for Old Elitists
The political crisis in Italy may not be unfolding exactly as I expected but it's pretty damn close. President Sergio Mattarella will go down as the Man That Broke the EU, with his idiotic justification for nullifying the coalition government formed by The League and Five Star Movement. Mattarella announced this on Sunday in order to … Continue reading Gold Goats ‘n Guns Live – A Coup in Italy, No Country for Old Elitists
