Corrupt Politicians and Corrupted Money Go Hand in HandBy Clint Siegner Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged about 60 years ago. It seems like shes describing todays politics. The Justice Department announced last week they wont be prosecuting crooked Hillary Clinton. Rand never met Hillary or her husband Bill. But she clearly knew what it means for society when scoundrels wind up in charge. Growing social unrest, politics, and money are all interconnected. We raised this subject a little over a year ago following the riots in Baltimore. But, sadly, except for the advocates of sound money and one very prescient novel written 6 decades ago, it is almost always overlooked. Many disgusted to see a reaffirmation that Hillary and Bill truly are above the law. The couple built a fabulous fortune and unassailable power by auctioning political favors to the highest bidder and building a global network of insiders. If you dont like it, too bad. The director of the FBI and the Attorney General dont work for you. They report to Obama for now, but they hope to be working for Hillary soon. Worse, most of us understand Washington is full of other politicians and bureaucrats aspiring to build their own crooked dynasty. In an honest money system, there is no printing. And politicians wouldnt be able to saddle future generations with debts and obligations to which they never consented. Politicians couldnt spend what they dont have. Instead they would have to pay for each promise they make honestly by raising taxes and dealing with the consequences. Good luck selling a raw deal like the bank bailouts. Americans hated the idea of rewarding bankers for their fraud and excess. Perhaps the only reason they didnt grab pitchforks and rebel is because they werent told to get their wallets out. You can bet Goldman Sachs wouldnt have paid Hillary Clinton $500,000 for a second-rate speech if the she didnt have political favors to dispense. Trust in government is fading and anger is on the rise. Perhaps soon Americans will get serious about finding solutions. While we cant promise that honest money will stop all crooked politicians, it will definitely throw a wrench in their machine. We hope sound money doesnt get overlooked.

This includes writing extensively on the bullion markets and their intersection with policy and world affairs. Crooked politicians, hardly, more like the marionettes. Pull their strings and watch them dance. Imagine we plant FREE gardens and we enjoy FREE FRUITS, free water, free shelters no stealing is possible no cheating is needed, no corruption people would work out of pleasure and create gifts for the community no man could ever again buy a man for a salary = FREEDOM, PARADISE so easy.. All we know how corrupt are Bill and Hill. Watch however the bank accounts and life style of James Comey for the next 20 years. At this point with both of them out of office, at Comey is where corruption lies. Its so weird isnt it, that the top two presidential contenders are the least popular probably of all time There will NEVER be a legitimate money system in the USA. The crooked shysters that make the rules will never allow it. We cant even get an audit on the Fed!
