The thing I think most people don’t understand about tax protesting is that ever since we universally adopted a debt based money supply largely issued by banks, your tax dollars no longer were necessary.
The government is in the hole, USD$39T. If they run out, what do they do? Vote to increase the debt ceiling.
They NEVER needed our money in the first place!
So, what is the point of taking it away from you? So that YOU don’t have it.
It’s an elite club, and you ain’t in it.
All that stuff that never added up. Cost of living, tax increases, the fact that technology should be causing deflation, yet everything goes up in price despite super computers that fit in your pocket.
Now, just put on one set of lenses and see how much is explained - cheating and looting of the government coffers beyond anything you could have imagined. The government hands out the money, then turns the taxpayer into a renter. What is the net effect? Because taxpayers have less, they don’t compete as hard with those who have been given the free money. Several months of your productive efforts every year going to support leaches who wine and dine on your back.
How much of the weird stuff now suddenly makes sense?
I think for many of us, this answer didn’t make sense, because we could not imagine the scale. Once we start to imagine the scale, so much starts to dial into focus - or did for me.
Out of interest when I go into town for our required fortnightly shop I’m going to count how many daycare centers we see compared to restauraunts that aren’t franchises.. I have a sneaking suspicion that the asian and indian take aways will make up the bulk of the numbers (back in my day family pizza places were all the rage, now theyre just clapped out franchises that low class childrens parties are held at Pizza Hut, while the middle class almost take out a loan to afford the country club option that their high class friends took their 1 year old ).
Disappointing re silver. But lets not forget this manupulation is exactly why we invested in physical in the first place.
From my perspective I haven’t bought above about $30 and I won’t sell an ounce below $200. How price gets there is irrelevant. Many of us here have chosen to ride this horse - it’s wild and frisky and it can buck like hell. The great thing is that once you are up in the saddle you don’t even need to be a good rider. You just have to hang on tight.

The time has come, or is about to come, when only large-scale civil disobedience, which should be nonviolent, can save the populations from the universal death which their governments are preparing for them. – Albert Camus
“Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.” – Thomas Jefferson
100% Correct: if they can ‘fund’ part of the government with printed money, they can fund ALL of it that way - the only reason they keep taxes is for punitive purposes
not sure how that image got attached …but so be it …that was NSW Premier Chris Minns saying the quiet part out loud after the Bondi attack… not going to address the root cause, just crack down on your right as a peasant to complain about it.
I suspect the Somalis didn’t get the benefit of all the funds provided–no doubt it was a money-laundering operation for politicians and was probably why Tim Walz was chosen as VP.
NM is getting ready to run the same scam: the governor, without any legislative concurrence, decided to offer state-paid childcare for every child, no matter the family’s income. What could go wrong?
Re: Pluto- my distant cousin Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto, would have been thrilled to see that photo.
Did Cambodia and Thai have ceizefire… well that isnt peace yet… Now seems better and better time chinese excercise turns real as US is so busy helping Israel and bombing VZ. That’s over 3 conflicts now, US cannot handle that many.
Some more new rolls of weed cloth arrived here today. I will be picking up a friends plant starts for two rows in the tunnel next week. I will plant my space out with the overage, and start seeds for my cattle tank raised beds. In the mean time I should find myself shore fishing…finally. Wine and seafood will be part of the next days.
Taking time to live and make myself more resilient this winter.
Ive been listening to Aaron Day podcasts lately and he notes that through DOGE, Musk was able to hook Palantir up with a lot of IRS data among other things which may have been the real purpose of the thing all along.
