You didn’t miss it, Errant. It was Francisco’s “Money” Speech in Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It fits in nicely with Ann’s Part 1 Money. In her laters “Parts” she refers to Atlas Shrugged and going Galt.

Ann Barnhardt is right on the MONEY BUMP!

[Errant]

Ok, thanks! I'm still going to review parts of Ann's presentation to lock in some of the key points she made.

One I found especially interesting was her idea of money being tied to the value of human labor. That is deserving of more thought, IMO.

Ayn Rand's future insights are amazing!

(4th time through Part1) Another...Ann Barnhardt is right on the MONEY BUMP!

(think of the ways evil people can get around this...”fungible proxy”. hushshshshsh think like a totalitarian criminal...hint...1’s and 0’s)

I don’t know if it’s permanent or not, but barnhardt.biz is “off the air.”

[Errant]

Thanks! Seems to be working now.

She has stated that the IRS is moving to seize her accounts. She probably is required to file quarterly but I would imagine 4/15/13 would be the actual deadline unless she missed the last 4/15/12 deadline.

Boy they sure seem to work fast when it's a conservative voice. I wonder what ever happened to the equal protection clause in the Constitution. When it's one of theirs, they never seem to find the time to pursue...

Watching Part 1 now - worth a bump!!

[Errant]

Thanks for the bump. I posted this last November. How did you happen across it? :)

There is a new interview with her posted.

So after I watched the interview, I googled to see what else was out there.

[Errant]

IC, thanks for the link. I’ll check it out.

The 8 part presentation is awesome. This is one brave lady!

And it doesn’t hurt one bit that she’s a looker, too!

She is totally correct about a couple things that I have thought of in the past.

1) The average American with their 30 second Twitter attention span has ZERO chance of understanding it
2) The debt is unserviceable. It has grown so large that the printing presses need to run, in overtime, forever, just to keep things going and avoid an obvious default.
3) The whole question of money isn’t really about paper or gold or silver. It is about sweat. It is a moral issue, an issue of trust, and honesty, and discipline.

This is an awesome video series and I highly recommend people watch it. It can only end one way. With all the 401(K)’s, pension funds, money market accounts, etc, etc, etc going to the big ZERO!

And she didn’t even get in to interest rate swaps, which is the elephant in the room when it comes to interest rates. Even a tiny boost in interest rates could WIPE OUT the five or so biggest banks in the country.

The one thing I don’t understand is how all these financial firms were able to effectively become insurance companies...
well that, and why the regulators turned the other way.

3) The whole question of money isn’t really about paper or gold or silver. It is about sweat. It is a moral issue, an issue of trust, and honesty, and discipline.

Among others, that's the one really big one that I got out of it too. I hadn't really thought of it that way in the past. I just knew, somehow, that we are being robbed of our sweat equity we've exchanged for Feral Notes.

This doesn't end well...

The one thing I don’t understand is how all these financial firms were able to effectively become insurance companies... IMO, it's a way leveraging a sure bet for the greedy and in the interest of the regulators and debt driven government to turned the other way.
