According to legend, George Washington gives a cherry tree a good whack and chops it down. Of course, his father notices the damaged tree and asks his son if he knows who did the deed. Young George displays his honesty by stating to his father "I can't tell a lie, Pa; you know I can't tell a lie. I did cut it with my hatchet."

Now the establishment rhapsodizes about our “jobless recovery” despite the fact the evidence proves otherwise. Honestly, members of the political and financial establishment are nothing but pathological liars. I guarantee that if one of these swindlers and liars were caught standing before a fallen cherry tree with an axe in their hands they would deny any wrongdoing. They might even claim the cherry tree is still standing. Anyone who believes anything that comes off the forked tongues of these purveyors of economic misery needs to have their head examined—or at least he or she needs a logical dose of Ayn Rand and (or) Ludwig von Mises.

I often wonder what else I could do to convince people that the government possesses absolutely no means to create jobs or wealth for its citizens; that it definitely has the power to demolish economies and nations—to destroy the dreams and ambitions of innocent people—something it has accomplished throughout the bloody history of mankind.

How about asking these questions. Did the establishment press warn you about the economic meltdown? Did they advise you to take the proper measures to protect you and your loved ones from economic catastrophe? Hell no, they didn’t! The establishment desires to keep you dumb and defenseless—because if you discovered the truth about their liberty violations and spurious economic policies you would demand an end to their swindles and violations of individual rights.

Let’s face it. Members of the political and financial establishment care only about their own greedy, immoral needs and desires. And they aren’t concerned about the people they must sacrifice to achieve their ill-gotten gains. If there is a Hell, these creators of misery and poverty are far too evil for the Devil to allow in his domain.

Sometimes I accuse the politicians, altruists, do-gooders and world-improvers of suffering from extreme megalomania—insanity. Other times I point out they possess a dishonesty that makes common criminals look like seminary students. Let’s put these together and declare that most members of the establishment are criminally insane.

You might wonder why I don’t supply you with a list of the names of the criminally insane members of the establishment. Well, there are two reasons why I usually do not mention names.

1. I’m an optimistic person who believes some people are redeemable. I’ve made mistakes in my life and I hope anybody I inadvertently hurt forgave me. I think we should forgive anyone who no longer wants to be associated with the dishonesty of the establishment.

2. My desire for you is that you possess the knowledge to spot a liberty violator miles away. An individual who understands economic science and practices timeless spiritual principles is an individual who has discovered personal liberty and freedom.

You know, it’s rather easy to see through the illusions and lies of the establishment. I offer you 2 free reports to help you discover the weapons necessary to protect you and your loved ones from the tyranny of liberty violators.
