Let’s answer a few IDE reader questions on IDE Unplugged, no?  I always prefer dialogue as opposed to monologue.  Here’s a question from reader PJ:

Dear Rusty,
Keep up the good work.  I think in order for us to free ourselves, a tipping
point in mass awareness has to be reached.  According to some, if only 5% of
the population knows about the Fed Reserve, their stranglehold on us will
fade away.  I am been studying this issue for a long time and think in about
5 years we will get a chance to pick the kind of govt we want.  Before that
we will experience "unrest of the deepest kind."  Have you seen the movies
Loose Change or Zeigeist on YouTube?  Check it out and perhaps you can
recommend it to your readers if u think it is appropriate. 

Hi, PJ.  I think the movie you’re referring to is properly entitled Zeitgeist.  Here’s a link.  I’ve seen both movies and am exceedingly disturbed about the events of 9/11 and what has become of our country while occupied by various “central banks” since inception.  Loose Change is definitely worth a viewing.

One man’s “conspiracy theorist” is another’s truth seeker.  I don’t worry about the labels of others.  Watch the movies and think for yourself is my sole advice.  Just like when you invest.  For the record, I am distinctly in disagreement with the Zeitgeist slant on “religion.”

Here’s another question from reader Doug:

To Rusty:
I don't buy we don't have the answer (regarding ridding ourselves of the Fed).  What do you think of the raid on the Liberty Dollar offices? And Ron Paul's "Honest Money Act" (HR 2756).  Even though it doesn't get rid of the Fed right away it removes their incentive to create inflation.  We have the answer but the media is making sure we don't hear it.  Why don't you print this for the readers?  Is it because the answer isn't a product for you to sell or you just didn't know about it?

Hi, Doug.  This may be the most negative question I’ve received from a reader to date.  Good one to address.  I’m not sure exactly what to think about the Liberty Dollar raid.  On one hand, I’m told that their use of the term “dollar” is what got them in trouble.  That is strictly verboten and the Liberty Dollar crowd was warned accordingly.  Otherwise, it is nothing but government scare tactics on those who infringe on government “legal tender” rights to monopolize us with their unconstitutional currency.  I’ll side with free market money, thank you.  This raid was just more protectionism.

Ron Paul’s “Honest Money Act” isn’t likely to pass any time soon.  He may be its only supporter in this exceedingly compromised body.  What do you think of my idea of tar and feathering them all?  Other than that, I’m all for Dr. Paul and most of what he proposes.  I stay out of politics to a large degree because we tend to receive more of the same regardless of who is voted in.  Ron Paul would clearly break that mold.  Let’s have this conversation a year from now.

As far as IDE having something to sell, I’m glad you figured that out, Doug.  You are free to take or leave the information provided on a daily basis.  You are also free to subscribe or not subscribe to any services offered.  Just like on TV.  You can watch the programs and ignore the advertising if you like.

Only on IDE can you receive a true “free lunch.”  You don’t even have to hit the surf button.  Not much to complain about there.

Rusty
