The Cooling: Has the Next Ice Age Already Begun?

After 100 years of deliberate debasement, the US dollar is dying. Our politicians have deceptively siphoned off so much of its value that a 2012 dollar has only two pennies of the purchasing power of a 1913 dollar. This great debasement of America's money is by far the largest confiscation of wealth in world history—and you, your children, and your grandchildren are the ones on the losing end of this century-long policy. The Federal Reserve System, created by Progressives in 1913 to give America an "elastic" money, has taken on such enormous and far-ranging powers that it has become "the fourth branch of government" that killed the gold-backed dollar, and replaced it with an impostor currency, a central cause of today's dangerous economic problems. On the 100th anniversaries of the 1912 Progressive takeover of America and 1913 imposition of the Fed and income tax—still working together synergistically to transform the USA—we expose, and show how to reverse, the Progressives' Great Debasement of America.

Detroit was to be a workers' paradise, a symbol of progressive success. Instead, it has become a symbol of big government failure, corruption, violence, and decay. In 2013, after a great withdrawal of more than a million productive residents, once-great Detroit became the largest American city ever to declare bankruptcy. The Great Withdrawal explores why Detroit failed, why other liberal cities may soon follow, and how this could drag America into insolvency and prolonged depression. It explores the bizarre Nanny Statist Progressive movement that took power in America in 1913 and has driven America on a 100-Year detour away from the ideals of our nation’s founders and toward the stagnation of Euro-socialist welfare states. Smith and Ponte, in this their fourth book, look at how Progressivism has used addiction to welfare and easy money, as well as psychological manipulation politics from “crisis-ocracy” and “the herd inside our heads” to the sinister brain science techniques known as “nudge” to win elections, manufacture consent, impose invisible taxes, and control us.

The symbol of bank security has been the safe. Today it should be the "unsafe" because, as this book reveals, your bank deposits are now in danger in at least 20 major ways—from cybercriminals, money-hungry politicians, Too-Big-To-Fail bankers, and those now stealing your dollars’ value—including the dollars you thought were secure inside bank vaults. Your bank account is systematically being robbed, and is at serious risk of being seized and looted. How much interest is your bank paying you for putting your money at such risk? Less Than Zero Percent! Monetary expert Craig R. Smith and futurist Lowell Ponte show why it has become illogical, and hazardous to your wealth, to trust your money to today’s increasingly vulnerable and unsafe banks. Banks (as we know them) and the U.S. Dollar are dying as we are pulled into the rising "cashless society" where everything, from your digital "money" to your household appliances, will be Internet-controllable and hackable, as well as trackable and taxable by bloated governments desperate for ever-more revenue. Smith and Ponte propose a surprising alternative future you can bank on, based in part on what a Harvard economics professor did with his own near-million-dollar bank account. This book shows ways to save your savings.

Today Americans faces an epic political and economic battle for our future. Which visionary 'dream' will rule our nation? The American Dream? Or the Progressive-Socialist-Utopian Dream? Baltimore, once the second most popular destination for immigrants seeking the American Dream, is now a key battlefield where the war between these two dreams will decide America's future. Authors Craig R. Smith and Lowell Ponte tell the amazing story of how Baltimore arose, then fell because of its addiction to Progressive corruption and welfare-state dependency. This once great city now risks disintegrating in rioting, drugs and despair. Will Baltimore's decline be our future? Craig and Lowell reveal Baltimore's little-noticed seeds and secrets of greatness that could restore the American Dream.

Since Nixon closed the gold window in 1971-essentially ending sound money and ushering in "elastic money"-we have seen an accelerated deterioration of our society as a whole. Fear, greed and apathy are the new normal instead of vices to avoid. Buying and selling of favors has replaced moral fortitude and personal responsibilityThis book will explore the nexus between Money, Morals and the Machine. We shaped the machine, and it has debased our money and morals. Our challenge now is to undo this by exposing the Machine for what it truly is and how it came to be so all-consuming, describing how it survives today and, most importantly, how to stop it-and bring honesty, integrity and morality back to America.
