In an insane world the sane man is ignored, castigated, or in some cases laughed-off. Ron Paul is one such individual in the political realm in the U.S. Another such man is Jim Rogers who has made his place in the financial world; and quite successfully at that. Below is a video of Jim on MSNBC calling for the abolition of the Federal Reserve System. He might as well be calling for the abolition of Mom and apple pie.
Americans accept the Fed’s indispensability as an article of faith in what has come to be our national religion. That is, our automatic regard for institutions that have become more important than the purposes for which they were instituted. The Fed (a private corporation instituted to finance our War Machine) is one such institution, and our Federal Government (a corporation instituted to safeguard our Constitutional rights) is another. The two behemoths seem to vie for the title of Most Mindlessly-Cherished.
Never mind that they both long ago became more the source of our problems than a solution to them. It is now veritable religious heresy to call for their restraint or abolition. Almost. But not to the few remaining sane men who are unafraid to advocate the excision of our overgrown economic and political cancers.
Truth is often quite painful and difficult to accept. Watch Jim Rogers dish it out for eleven straight minutes.
