Cashless trend is redefining money, and a central bank’s role as printer

"Throughout the world, central banks have woken up to the fact that their wholesale interbank clearing and settlement systems can be bypassed by mobile-to-mobile payments. Indeed, who will get the seigniorage, or the right to interest on the monetary creation, which traditionally has belonged to the state and been delegated to the central bank? Of course, we used to believe that central banks could only print money when it is backed by gold or promises to pay by the government. Today, advanced central banks are printing money faster than ever." Continue reading

IRS Seizes Small Store’s Bank Account. It’s Asset Forfeiture. It’s Legal.

"This man runs a small store. His insurance company insures against theft for only $10,000 per robbery. So, his daughter waited until there was $9,000. Then she deposited the money in the bank. An IRS agent seized the money. She charged 'structuring.' The IRS requires you to report cash deposits in excess of $10,000. It also prohibits 'structuring' — deposits just under $10,000. 'How will I pay my workers?' he said. 'I don’t care,' she replied. She handed him her card. The Internet may give the story enough coverage to convince the IRS agent’s superior that the bad publicity isn’t worth $35,000. Otherwise, this man is out of business." Continue reading

Feds Steal $35K From Small Grocer’s Bank Account Despite ‘No Violations’

"Schott's Market, in Fraser, Michigan, was robbed in January of this year. Unfortunately for Terry Dehko and his daughter, Sandy, who own the place, the thieves are government agents in the emply of the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS doesn't even allege that the Dehkos committed a crime to justify cleaning out their bank account using civil asset forfeiture—they even sent the Dehknos a letter clarifying that 'no violations [of banking laws] were identified.' So, why the mugging? The feds just don't like the way the grocers have been depositing money in their bank account. Really." Continue reading

What Happened When One Man Pinged the Whole Internet

"You probably haven’t heard of HD Moore, but up to a few weeks ago every Internet device in the world, perhaps including some in your own home, was contacted roughly three times a day by a stack of computers that sit overheating his spare room. In February last year he decided to carry out a personal census of every device on the Internet as a hobby. '[It] drew quite a lot of complaints, hate mail, and calls from law enforcement,' he says. But the data collected has revealed some serious security problems, and exposed some vulnerable business and industrial systems of a kind used to control everything from traffic lights to power infrastructure."

Gary Casey Precinct Chair in Tulsa County and Former President of Tulsa County Men’s Republican Club Endorses Amanda Teegarden

I consider Amanda Teegarden to be one of the most respectable grassroots activists and leaders in Oklahoma. Her diligence in bringing to light matters of legislative importance to citizens through her work with OK-SAFE and her online radio show, America in the Balance, have been a great boon to Oklahomans. But she goes beyond that and dedicates her spare time to helping principled candidates get elected and teaches young people and newcomers to the party about the legislative process. She personally visits lawmakers to advocate for issues of individual liberty, free enterprise, and constitutional governance. I wholeheartedly endorse Amanda Teegarden for the office of Oklahoma GOP State Chair and I hope you will join me in casting your vote for Amanda at the state convention on April 20th.
