The Feds’ Rampant Money-Printing Will Ruin Us   Emma Walsh Jun. 28, 2020   The feds are committing one “Monumental Imbecility” after another… But their worst – reckless money-printing – is poisoning the U.S. economy… and American society, too. The system is rotten to the core. And it won’t take much to blow the whole thing up! Regards, Emma Walsh Managing Editor, Bill Bonner’s Diary The Rot at the Heart of the System Americans are moving to the extremities. Red or Blue… conservative or liberal… for or against. The one policy both left and right agree on is money-printing – to pay for all their schemes and “social programs.” But the more “fake dollars” you “print,” the less they are worth. And as the fake dollar goes, so goes the empire. That is, they go down together. The Four Monumental Imbecilities of the 21st Century (so far) The U.S. has been stumbling down the mountain since the start of the 21st century. And according to our editor, the U.S. dollar is next to fall. That’s due to the feds’ rampant money-printing, one of a series of what Bill calls “Monumental Imbecilities” they have committed so far this century. Real Life in the Calchaquí Valley Today, in a break from his usual program, our editor takes us on a trip up to the ranch, and tells us some of the...

Which Lives Matter Most?   Emma Walsh Jun. 21, 2020   The narrative has changed… No longer are Americans confined to their homes to save lives. Now, there are more lives to be saved… and there’s another cause… one that warrants leaving your house to publicly gather with others to protest. And politicians talk about “reparations,” to settle the debt for centuries of mistreatment of Blacks. But Bill has a better idea… Regards, Emma Walsh Managing Editor, Bill Bonner’s Diary   Forget COVID. Here’s a New Bamboozle! Two months ago, Americans were directed to stay at home to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus and, ultimately, save lives. Now, though, there’s a new myth… a cause worth dying for… and it’s time to take to the streets en masse. Our editor asks, “What gives?” Which Lives Matter Most? Still trying to connect the dots… our editor questions the new imperative. Is every life worth saving – as we were told just a couple of months ago, when the country was locked down to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus? Or do some lives matter more? Lockdown Adventures in the Calchaquí Valley Taking a break from connecting dots of the political and financial kind… Bill makes the most of his extended quarantine in Argentina by exploring some of the ancient treasures of the Calchaquí Valley. Thought Police are...

The Elites Have Rigged the System   Emma Walsh Jun. 14, 2020   This week, our editor showed us how the system is rigged against the common man… how the elites are exploiting the “two-system” system… and hogging wealth for themselves…. But will hard work, grit, and wise spending help the common man to beat the system, or poverty? Or is he less well-off because of his own bad choices, as some readers believe? Regards, Emma Walsh Managing Editor, Bill Bonner’s Diary   Nightmare on Main Street One country, two systems. On Wall Street, everything is “recovering” nicely, thank you very much. It’s as if the last three months were just a bad dream. But on Main Street – in the real world – the nightmare continues… Paternalism at the Ranch At our editor’s ranch in the Calchaquí Valley in Argentina, the landowner’s traditional “paternalistic” role is still practiced. And that means helping the local people out with all manner of problems… some more “delicate” than others… No Return to Normal for the Main Street Economy There seems to be no limit on what the feds can print and spend to fight all their phony wars – against poverty, drugs, and now COVID-19. But the end result is just more wealth and power for the wealthy… and a kick in the teeth for the man on Main Street… The...

The Great [US]American Collapse   Emma Walsh Jun. 7, 2020   As America’s cities burn, our editor reflects on the people’s rallying cry… The cause of the destruction, he believes, goes beyond any demands for social justice. And he shows how, with bitterness and resentment on the rise, this is likely just the beginning of the collapse – for both the economy and society as we know it… Regards, Emma Walsh Managing Editor, Bill Bonner’s Diary   The Big COVID-19 Scam Our editor starts off the new month by looking at one of the biggest public policy humbugs in human history: The House Arrest scam to “save” Americans from COVID-19… Long, Hot Summer Social unrest adds to the COVID-19 crisis. Protests and riots break out around the nation as Americans call for racial reform. Racism, says Bill, is something we can all understand… but it points to a deeper issue lurking beneath the surface… The Knee on All Our Necks Bill draws a comparison between the tragic death of George Floyd and the Federal Reserve’s stifling of the economy. What gives them the power to prosecute counterfeit crimes when they’re committing acts of destruction… on the largest scale in American history? Your Choice: A Rip-Off or a Fraud In Thursday’s essay, our editor unveils the two systems running America… one a fraud, the other a rip-off. On the one...
