And they say there is no inflation!

When you begin pricing condominiums in the fractions-of-a-billion dollars I think its safe to say there is a lot of inflation!

We're not saying it isn't incredibly nice, but it better be for over nearly half-a-billion dollars!  Yes, this penthouse in Monaco is on offer for $400 million.

A bit out of your price range?  Don't worry, all the other units in the building are in the affordable $100 million range.

Hello from Anarchapulco,

As you may recall I travelled to Monterrey, Mexico, in March seeking out truth.

Numerous people who I consider to be enlightened had been saying incredibly wise things over the years and as I analyzed how they had this knowledge/perspective/wisdom and an inate peace about them I started to realize that most of them had partaken of ayahuasca… and many of them dozens or hundreds of times.

I was around before the internet.  I was always on computers but they had 48k of RAM (not 48mb, not 48gb… 48 kilobytes), had modems that sounded like a fax machine and only one person could get on at a time and our computer monitors were about the size of a Galaxy Note and comachrome.  What's comachrome, you ask? Well, basically you had one color you could choose from.  The most popular were green and orange.  I was excited to get my first green-only monitor because before that I had a 1970s tube black & white television as a monitor.

Today is “Tax Freedom Day,” in the US, but that is already an oxymoron of terms as no such day can exist in reality because tax (extortion) is the opposite of freedom.

But, yes, if you are an average person who lives in the USSA, today is the final day where almost all of your earnings are extorted from you and from this day forward, theoretically, you can actually keep what you have worked for.

Those who have followed The Dollar Vigilante since its inception in 2010 have likely noticed numerous changes and iterations of our style and format over the last five years.

As an incredibly brief history, I started it out of a passion and interest in the information I was uncovering about the financial, monetary and political systems.  At first, like any fresh new blog on the interweb there were sounds of crickets chirping.  I'd write something and maybe 10 people would notice it.

However, within a year it had seemed to gain major traction amongst the "crazies" who thought that maybe there is a bit more to know than what you are told by the government or CNBC.
