history and founding of America is almost a fairy tale of providence
and good fortune. As Senate Chaplain Dr. Peter Marshall has
recounted in his classic book, The Light and the Glory,
no other nation has been blessed with such an abundance of material
wealth and rich spiritual heritage as the United States of
America. In 1787, our Founding Fathers established a near-perfect
system of representative government and sound monetary policy as
outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
Yet,
as our nation enters the 21st Century there is a great foreboding that
our highly leveraged financial infrastructure is facing unprecedented
challenges in addition to serious geopolitical developments that could
threaten our very existence as an independent and sovereign
nation. How has this happened to the most powerful nation on
earth, and what will be the likely outcome of these events? To
answer these questions it is necessary to thoroughly examine the
monetary history of the U.S. up to the present hour and also give some
serious consideration to ancient prophecies that are contained in the
Holy Bible.
In 1913,
a small group of Wall Street bankers conspired to create the ultimate
money trust, or banking cartel, now known as the Federal Reserve System
. The creation of our nation’s central bank has been responsible
for boom and bust cycles which have wrongly been blamed on outside
forces, commerce, capital investments, the free market and even elected
officials. The creation, structure, and operation of the Fed is a
sad legacy of hidden taxation and market manipulation which needs to be
clearly understood.
This is a distinctly non-partisan issue. It is a topic of extreme importance since each and every
American is trusting in the value of their domestic currency and
working hard to invest and save for their financial futures. It
is why we get up and go to work every day. It is, as Austrian
economist and social philosopher Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) has
stated in his magnum opus Human Action, our individual responsibility to understand the basic teachings of economics:
Very
few men are capable of contributing any consequential idea to the body
of economic thought. But all reasonable men are called upon to
familiarize themselves with the teachings of economics. This is,
in our age, the primary civic duty. Whether we like it or not, it
is a fact that economics cannot remain an esoteric branch of knowledge
accessible only to small groups of scholars and specialists.
Economics deals with society’s fundamental problems; it concerns
everyone and belongs to all. It is the main and proper study of
every citizen (www.mises.org ).
Indeed
it is. And I want to thank you for visiting my Web site to learn
more about these vital issues and our nation's future. You are
invited to learn more about me, my most recent book, important news
items that are posted each week on this Web site, and how to purchase
an autographed copy of my book that will include special reports and
information.

 Reaping what we have sown,
August 20, 2009
America's Financial Reckoning Day is to American economics what A
Brief History of Time was to physics. It provides, in layman's terms,
an explanation of who we are, how we got here (based on history, not
emotion), and where we are most assuredly headed. This is not a book
for dummies, but it is definitely readable for everyone who is
interested and engaged. This writer has a way of turning a phrase, and
that is saying a mouthful when the subject is economics. He somehow
tricks you into reading one paragraph after another, and all of a
sudden you feel, well, I'm going to say it: enlightened.
America's Financial Reckoning Day is an opportunity for the
intelligent, inquisitive student of American politics and history to
understand our place in the world. Mr. Coppes has clearly done his
homework. I feel like I have been paying very close attention to
political events for the past thirty years, but to my surprise, this
book caused me to raise my eyebrows on almost every page. The actions
and reactions of our economy and the economies of the other big players
on the world money stage are described with names, dates, and times,
easily verifiable and in detail.
This book is not for people who can
describe their philosophy on a bumper sticker. It is not for people who
want to read an "I'm Okay, You're Okay" self help book to instant
success in troubled times. This book is for the brave of heart; for the
individual who is willing to be surprised and to change how they feel
about ideas they have held dear, perhaps for decades. It is for those
who know when the going gets tough, the tough are already locked and
loaded. For others, for those who just want to stumble along and hope
that tomorrow everything will be better; probably not the book for
them.
If I had one prayer answered this week, I would ask God to make
this required reading for high school seniors, two pages per day, for
the entire school year. There would be no need for a test; the students
who read it would be wide-eyed and already preparing for the future.
