Tax Day Cometh: To Hold Or Not To Hold an IRA

[The following post is by TDV Editor-In-Chief, Jeff Berwick]

Tomorrow in the US is the last day for tax slaves to pay their extortion fees.  
It'
s a day, as a Permanent Tourist/Prior Taxpayer (PT), on which I remember how lucky I am to legally not have to pay income tax in any jurisdiction.  
But, I realize it is a painful day for many.  
In a way it is painful for me, also, to know that millions are being forced at gunpoint to hand over a large amount of their income to the biggest terrorist organization on Earth (the definition of terrorism being "
the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes"
), the US federal government.

Markets Versus Government: Hologram Protesting Sidesteps Government Edict

[The following post is by TDV Editor-In-Chief, Jeff Berwick]

Last week we commented on how activists in New York had gotten around the government removal of an Edward Snowden statue by replacing his image with a hologram.

In the constant battle between the free market and its evil nemesis, government, the stakes were raised dramatically in Spain a few days later!

For those unaware, the fasco-communist government in Spain has been systematically destroying the economy and as its citizenry gets more unemployed (unemployment has been between 20-30% for the last few years) and upset the government has become incredibly tyrannical.

This Is The Vigilante On Ayahuasca – The Weekend Vigilante April 11th, 2015

Hello from Anarchapulco,

Well, it'

I'

As preface, and as I'

I really dislike people who have never had a drink but hate alcohol.  
Or who have never had a puff of marijuana but demand that people with guns, being paid with extorted money, go out and kidnap people caught with it.

The Mask Of Government Is Falling Off Both Literally And Figuratively

[The following post is by TDV Editor-In-Chief, Jeff Berwick]

Larken Rose once told me that the government can'
t continue to govern (for long) once they begin completely dominating by force without the approval of at least a sizeable amount of support from the citizenry.  
Or, as he said, "
once they remove the mask"
that they are here to help us and show themselves for what they really are.

In more ways than one the US government is showing itself for what it really is.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (Communist Party-Conn.) has been pushing the 
Support Assault Firearm Elimination and Education of our (SAFER) Streets Act.

The Vigilante Stand On Rand

[The following post is by TDV Chief Editor, Jeff Berwick]

On Tuesday, Rand Paul announced that he was running for Misleader of the Unfree World… or, as they call it, President of the US.

This announcement has caused a rapacious debate in the libertarian community which, as an umbrella, includes anarchists and small government minarchists/constitutionalists.
