Alexander "Ace" Baker's Columns

Enron: Bad Business, Worse Government

"In a free market, sale prices are set by the interaction of supply and demand. The only way to manipulate this basic law of the universe is to threaten physical violence, and the only people who can legally initiate physical violence are government agents. Any time we hear of some corporation manipulating the market, or gouging consumers, it should raise a red flag signaling us to look for the strangling hands of government."  Column by Alexander "Ace" Baker.

The Origin of Money (and How It Was Stolen from You)

Recommended  "However, once government acquires the exclusive privilege to create new money without limit, a strong illusion is created that makes it now appear that the people are dependent on government. In truth, government has become the source of money, but not the source of real wealth. Sadly, today millions of people mistakenly believe that their government is the cause of their prosperity. Nothing could be further from the truth."  Column by Alexander "Ace" Baker.

The Fed Is Lifeblood to the Root of Evil

Recommended  "Central banking makes possible the expansion of government power in all forms, most particularly the wicked godfather of all government programs: war. Without central banking, it is doubtful that any of the great wars of the 20^th century, or the current debacle in Iraq , would have ever taken place, certainly not on the scale we have seen."  Column by new Root Striker Alexander "Ace" Baker.  If you've ever wanted to understand what central banking is all about, this is a must-read column.
