Dick Young’s Safe America Chapter III, Part I.

April 28, 2021 By Richard Young

The People’s Chemist writes, “State -of -the art science methods prove masks fail to block viral spread. Viruses are everywhere – so tiny a grain of salt is 1,000 times larger.” The medical journal Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses showed “no relationship between mask/respirator and protection against influenza protection.”

The People’s Chemist concludes, “We can rest easy knowing that the best way to avoid illness is to protect and bolster the immune system.”

Over the past two years, I have assembled a package of trusted supplements that appear to be useful in bolstering the immune system.

Dick Young’s Safe America: Chapter II, Part I

January 25, 2021 By Richard Young

After the inauguration of Joe Biden, and the loss of Senate control to Democrats, Republicans may feel like the end has come. It hasn’t.

Politics is cyclical. A party gets elected in a wave of support, it becomes complacent, ignores its mandate, and is replaced by another party that has impressed the people with its promises. Over, and over again.

Not so long ago the GOP was in much worse straits. In 2008, after the election of President Barack Obama and Democrats’ landslide victories in the House and Senate, pundits were saying that the GOP was over for good, and that the party would never win control of anything ever again.

After a short time living under the Obama administration, Americans began to regret their votes of 2008.

As early as 2009 Democrats’ popularity began to crack. A group called the TEA Party was forming all over the nation, and in early 2010 their energy coalesced when Scott Brown, a Republican, won a special election for the Senate seat vacated by the death of Ted Kennedy, in the deep blue state of Massachusetts.

That election was the first of many that would bring Republicans complete control of the government by 2016.

Compared to 2009 when Democrats controlled so many seats, today’s picture is nowhere near as precarious for Republicans. Take a look at the table below comparing the peak of Democrat control during the 111th Congress to the balance of power during today’s 117th Congress.

Today the GOP owns more legislatures, more governorships, more congressional seats in both houses, and has placed more Supreme Court* picks than in 2008 by far.

The truth is, once Americans see what Democrats have to offer in real life, they no longer want it.

RCY’s Brand New Investing Program – 100% Swiss: Chapter 1, Part II

UPDATE 12.15.2020: With America’s debt load soaring, the risk to the dollar today is perhaps greater than ever.

The Fed has created a disastrous asset bubble that will extend for years.

Read my series on Ron Paul to gain the full flavor for what is transpiring.

I devoted a large section of my 1987 book to inflation, gold, and Switzerland. Through the decades, I have been a big investor in both Swiss assets and gold.

In the month of August, 100% of my personal investing will be in Swiss Franc-denominated assets.

The Swiss Way

I have written in the past of the Swiss Confederation and its weak central government form (the presidency is a ceremonial office and rotates). The office has no powers above the other six members of the Swiss Federal Council. The entire Federal Council is considered a collective head of state. Switzerland is a neutral country with a low crime rate and a powerful national defense system. Instead of fielding a large standing army, Switzerland requires every man to undergo military training for a few days or weeks a year throughout most of his life. Each man is required to keep his assigned automatic rifle at home at the ready. The Swiss are powerful believers in individual liberty and freedom. They believe that there is no need for a higher legal authority to check people’s initiatives. In fact, federal court in Switzerland is not allowed to rule on any constitutional matter at the national level. The Swiss are all about keeping things at the cantonal level. Keep it local is the key in Switzerland.

There is a lot to learn for Americans from “the Swiss way.” Switzerland’s model is precisely the weak form of central government intended by our Founders. The best outline of what a constitutionally strong form of federal republic looks like is Ron Paul’s Liberty Defined. The chapter on “Empire” alone will amaze you.
