World-renowned speaker Tony Robbins has devoted some time to discussing America’s gargantuan $16 trillion national debt. In this video, he shares figures inspired by blogger Iowahawk, where he uses visual aids to break down our unfathomable debt. It’s twenty minutes long and I urge you to spend every minute watching it.

At the end, Robbins asks viewers to write their Congressperson and president. Don’t waste your time, because they won’t listen. When has your government ever listened to you? The next step isn’t a phone call or letter, but bold actions. We’ve reached a critical point in our history that demands an outright replacement of a cancerous government overtaken by lobbyists, corrupt politicians and arithmetic-challenged planners who believe everything is fine.

Guess what? America is far from fine. We’re in deep trouble, and we won’t solve our problems by playing partisan politics. You can’t save your country as a conservative or liberal. These political ideologies serve no one and has done more harm than good. The time is now to think clearly and independently of your party and Washington.

Former Federal Reserve economist David Barker speaks to Fox Business’ John Stossel about central planning and monetary policy. Shockingly, he’s advocating the printing of your own money and ending of the Federal Reserve. He believes central planning is ineffective and cites examples in history to support his view.

Barker’s video left me speechless and supports everything Ron Paul, others and myself continue to advocate for: A society that’s free of centralized monetary manipulation and destruction. Kudos to Mr. Barker.

My gut instinct is that this interview is nothing more than a PR drama on primetime television. It probably doesn’t ask the truly tough questions that must be answered. For example, where did the Federal Reserve get $16 trillion to loan to global institutions? $5 billion went to Libya, actually.

Or how about gas prices. Did ABC tie the two together and explain how the Federal Reserve contributes to prices by way of debasing the dollar? There are many questions I’m sure weren’t asked in this interview. The American people deserve real questions regarding real problems.

If ABC is in the business of delivering news, then what exactly is it producing? Ben Bernanke has lost complete control of monetary policy in the United States. There isn’t a magic bullet. The situation is day-to-day. That’s where we stand on everything.

Update: Keynote now featured on Keynotes.org

I had the pleasure on March 17, 2012 of speaking to attendees at the 2012 Colorado Libertarian State Convention in Aurora, Colorado at the DoubleTree. My keynote, “Government In Our Hands”, was well-received and a lot of questions were asked. It’s a controversial talk that challenges government, money and politics as we know it in the 21st century.

My good friend Ugly Dog supports Ron Paul for President in 2012! As former Obama supporters, we learned a painful lesson we dare not repeat.

Restore America Now. Vote for Ron Paul in 2012.

For months, Americans watched the Middle East uprising, mass civil unrest in Europe and elsewhere without much concern. Long ago, I warned that these instabilities would find its way to America. That time is here.

From #OccupyWallStreet to intense gridlock in Washington, America is now facing a great collapse after decades of easy money, arrogance and ignorance. And growing numbers of Americans are now forced to take action.

In this video, I discuss current events, alternatives to Washington, #OccupyWallStreet, and other issues that affect America and the world.

Ron Paul Speech in Ames

The ‘kook’ congressman from Texas, Ron Paul, trailed Bachmann in Ames by just over one-hundred votes. But in mainstream media America, Paul’s strong finish is overlooked in favor of Mitt “corporations are people, too” Romney and Rick “come to Jesus” Perry. Ames is a far more serious deal than the mainstream media would admit. In fact, Tim Pawlenty ended his bid for 2012 after a dismal showing in Iowa.

The American mainstream media must stop pandering to the “politics as usual” machine and respect America’s new reality: Many are ready for real change in Washington with Paul. Kudos to Juan Williams for defending Paul at FOX when talking heads go against their own. Kudos to Dylan Ratigan and Joe Scarborough for doing the same at MSNBC. The American people are waking up and throwing out the opinions of anchors and columnists in favor of the facts. And the fact is this: Ron Paul isn’t crazy for being right. And he’s been right on a lot for more than thirty years.

Whether you’re an independent, libertarian, democrat, or republican, the easy choice for 2012 is Congressman Ron Paul. No other candidate in the field is as honest, thorough or insightful on the issues that have resulted in America’s $15 trillion national debt, trillion-dollar deficits, destruction of all classes and the weakening of the people’s currency (via the Federal Reserve’s heavy, destructive hand), the U.S. dollar.

You’ve seen the rest, now choose the best!

The American people and investors around the world are looking to America’s central bank for relief. Unfortunately, the Fed will simply make matters worse as it did with QE1 & QE2, which debased the dollar, robbing the people of its purchasing power and overall wealth.

Do not expect a miracle with QE3, QE4, QE5, and so on. The Federal Reserve has outlived its usefulness. It does not have the capability to soothe over the coming pain after our AA+ downgrade (from AAA – the top rating). Americans and the world will continue to suffer for months, years. This is our new reality.

If you live in one of the Federal Reserve’s districts (Denver, Boston, San Francisco, Dallas, etc.), gather with your friends on any given day and surround your local Fed branch with love. Do it during a lunch break. Take off from work. Do whatever is necessary to make it happen. Make a sacrifice. Surround the entire perimeter. Allow no Fed official to leave or enter the premises. Form a human chain and demand accountability. Don’t sit at home. Don’t wait for legislation to bring about change. Don’t wait for an incompetent Congress to slap their wrist. Be the change yourself. Just do something other than sitting around. Call the Federal Reserve at 202-452-3000. Speak to Ben Bernanke’s office or Public Affairs (Press ’3′ during the message to reach a live person – leave a message if no one answers.)

Also, be sure to join Anonymous on June 14th for Operation Empire State Rebellion. It is up to the people to reverse the course of destruction caused by the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve and our worthless politicians in Washington.
