When Powel met with Biden and Yellen in the oval office in may 2022, it wasn't a first. In 1951, the entire FOMC met in Truman's office. Back then the president and the secretary wanted the FED to maintain the interest rate on treasury bonds at the wartime peg. image

Just finished watching #CitizenFour and #TerminalF, two great documentaries on @Edward Snowden and his revelation of government overreach as I close the last page of his wonderful "Permanent Record". A phrase comes to mind, Churchil's: " Never in the history of mankind have so many owed so much to so few". Churchil coined it in reference to the fighter pilots who fought on board their Spitfires and Tampests to deliver europe. It's fitting towards the few whistleblowers who have brought the excesses of government to broad daylight. I certainly feel, as a normie recently onboarded to bitcoin that we're all part on #NOSTR of this fight for freedom and for the essence of what it is to be human.

What's that old joke? Heaven is where the police are British, the lovers French, the mechanics German, the chefs Italian, and it is all organized by the Swiss. Hell is where the police are German, the lovers Swiss, the mechanics French, the chefs British, and it is all organized by the Italians.

I support #Italexit, #Frexit, #Spanexit, #Grexit: I wish for european citizens to realise that they've been had, that they have given away so much power to the central goverment in Bruxelles that they are already very far embarked on the road to serfdom. Many consider falsely that the #EU is liberal, ultra-liberal, whatever that means. It's not. It's the result of decades of socialism that once again lead us to a form of totalitarianism. The true nature of socialism isn't to be more caring or driven by egalitarian ideals. It's to centralise power ever more until we reach one of the inevitable outcomes, call it communism or fascism. They are both the result of the restriction of individual freedoms. "The generation to which we belong is now learning from experience what happens when men retreat from freedom to a coercive organisation of their affairs. Though they promise themselves a more abundant life, they must in practice renounce it; as the organised direction increases, the variety of ends must give way to uniformity". Walter Lippmann. Isn't this precisely what the EU is doing? spreading uniformity and hampering diversity hence human progress and value creation?
