The Mexican Government is Close to Approving a Law Aimed at Removing the Use of Cash


On Wednesday, the Mexican government inched closer to passing a law that would begin the process of phasing out cash payments and requiring digital payments.

The “Digital Economy Law” was first introduced by President Claudia Sheinbaum in early September and has since moved rapidly through official commissions and the Chamber of Deputies. Most recently, on October 14, the bill passed out of two Senate commissions and now awaits a full Senate vote in the coming weeks. [Read More]

10 Smart Ways to Prep Without Spending Money


Are you convinced that you can’t prep without spending a whole lot of money? That couldn’t be further from the truth. There are all sorts of ways you can become better prepared without spending a dime.

The thing to remember is that there is a lot more to prepping than just feverishly filling mylar bags with food or stacking ammo to the ceiling. You need to think outside of the consumer mindset. [Read More]

All Wars Are Bankers’ Wars: Iran and the Bankers’ Endgame

In February 2026, the United States and Israel launched surprise airstrikes on Iran. The officially proffered reasons - preventing Iran’s acquisition of a nuclear weapon and forestalling its aggression - have not held up under scrutiny. As James Corbett documented in recent Corbett Report episodes, the nuclear pretext appears to be recycled propaganda, and the scale and timing of the strikes raise deeper questions about motive. 

The thesis that “All Wars Are Bankers’ Wars” was popularized by Michael Rivero in a 2013 documentary by that name. His accompanying article begins with a quote from Aristotle (384-322 BCE):

The most hated sort [of moneymaking], and with the greatest reason, is usury, which makes a gain out of money itself, and not from the natural use of it. For money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest. [Read More]

Prepping for a Cashless Control Grid: How Digital Currency Becomes Digital Control

Something fundamental is vanishing, and most people will not notice until it is already gone. Not with a declaration. Not with a law passed in the dead of night. Simply, gradually, the option to buy something without creating a permanent record will disappear. The ability to save purchasing power outside of a system that can freeze it, monitor it, or program it will become a memory that seems almost fictional to those who never experienced it. [Read More]

Governments Sold Their Nations Into Debt Slavery During Covid


How many times have we heard that oil prices and inflation are increasing the cost of governments’ borrowing?  How many times have we heard that this is because of events in the Strait of Hormuz? 

You may be surprised, or not, to discover that they are not telling you the full story.

Oil prices and inflation are proximate causes, economist Peter C. Earle says. The real problem began several years ago during the so-called covid pandemic. [Read More]



50 Survival Lessons From the Great Depression - The Horrifying Things Americans Did When Money, Jobs, and Hope Disappeared

Editor’s Note

We publish this piece in the August of 2026, as the machinery of global commerce groans and sputters, as hollow men in expensive suits speak of “corrections” and “adjustments” while families count pennies in dimly lit kitchens. The photograph you see above - those gaunt men hunched over bowls of thin soup, their eyes fixed on some middle distance between hunger and dignity - was snapped nearly a century ago, yet it could have been taken yesterday in any tent city stretching like a scar across the American landscape. We do not traffic in false nostalgia here, nor in the cheap comfort of historical distance. The Great Depression was not a sepia-toned folktale; it was a meat-grinder that chewed through 25 percent of the working population, that evicted grandmothers into snowbanks, that turned proud men into beggars and children into scavengers. The bones of that era still jut through the soil of our present moment - visible to anyone brave enough to look. What follows is not a curiosity shop of antiquated customs, but a field manual written in blood and hunger, a record of how ordinary human beings refused to break when the world snapped in half. Read it. Memorize it. The wolves are already at the door. [Read More]
