The main purpose of this website is to provide ideas and information on monetary science and economics that will combat the extremely dangerous false ideas currently in the marketplace causing many undesirable and harmful effects. Ideas can only be overcome by other ideas. Money and force are impotent against ideas.  Government abuse of currency has enabled many evils including the rise of dictators and perpetuation of genocide.  The abandonment of sound money is the chief reason, if not the only reason, that the world has become such a dangerous place.

As the worldwide fiat monetary system evaporates it will take education and humility to successfully navigate the chasm and retain one’s wealth.  We are feeling the gigantic tectonic plates underneath the financial system begin to shift.  The shift of wealth that is happening is gargantuan and if one is properly positioned they can profit handsomely from the change.  Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
