Taxing situations and priceless knowledge

Check out these books, videos – if you dare

Do you ever look around at what's happening to the nation's economy and wonder how we got to this state?

I mean how we really got here.

I'm going to make it easy for you to understand.

It's not that you won't have to put your thinking cap on. It's not that you won't hear some ideas that seem in conflict with one another. And it's not that you won't have to devote some hours to reading and viewing to become enlightened.

But I have put together a collection of six books and videos that, I believe, explain it all.

Please consider adding these amazingly insightful products to your reading and viewing library.

First, there is a book WND recently published by international treasure Vox Day. It's called "The Return of The Great Depression." There's a reason it's first on my list. It's timely, and it's prescient. "It is not over. It has only begun." That is Vox Day's shocking warning to readers in the introduction of "The Return of The Great Depression." The economic downturn we are experiencing will get worse before it gets better. Much worse. What makes his warning so believable is that seven years ago he predicted the collapse of the housing market and the destruction of the financial services industry.

Day believes that we are only now entering the early stages of the Second Great Depression. He offers a detailed analysis of the economic and monetary policies of the last several years to show why ideologues on both the left and the right didn't foresee this economic calamity. "The Return of The Great Depression" is one of the most important examinations of the causes of the financial collapse of 2008. The knowledge Day shares is empowering and provides vital new insights, including:

The possibility that it could be 2032 before the economy fully recovers;
The ominous similarities between the American economy of today and the Japanese economy of 20 years ago;
How Obama's stimulus plan was actually smaller than Hoover's – and likely to be just as ineffective;
How both Milton Friedman and John Maynard Keynes got economics wrong.

The second offering is also very recent. It's a video called "The Secret of Oz," a somewhat unlikely title for a DVD about how we can actually rescue our economy from the cycle of busts and booms so familiar to those of us old enough to have experienced a few.

Filmmaker Bill Still agrees with Day that the U.S. is headed for a deep depression. But he says there's a way out – if only lawmakers address the root of the problem: mounting interest payments on the national debt.

Still asks the curious question: "Could the solution to America's economic troubles be encoded in the pages of L. Frank Baum's 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'?"

Stay with me now.

It is well known in economics academia that "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" – written by Baum in 1900 – is loaded with powerful symbols of monetary reform, which were the core of the populist movement in the 1896 and 1900 presidential bids of Democrat William Jennings Bryan.

The yellow brick road (gold standard), the emerald city of Oz (greenback money), even Dorothy's silver slippers (changed to ruby slippers for the movie version) were symbols of the beliefs of both Baum and Bryan that adding silver coinage to gold would provide much needed money to a depression-strapped, 1890s America.

In "The Secret of Oz" you'll learn how to decode these symbols to unveil the solution to growing economic hardship here in America – and around the world. And you will get a powerful lesson in honest money.

One more recent release before I get to two classic works: Chuck Missler's video "Twilight's Last Gleaming."

Chuck is a good friend of mine, a Bible scholar and prayerful man. He sees our economic plight tied directly to our spiritual confusion. And he's right.

This video is his version of the State of the Union address. He takes his cues from the prophets Jeremiah and Hosea.

We can see the storm coming, and, though we may not be able to divert it or stop it, we can at least warn others. He says only a miracle can save America, and, fortunately,

Now for the two oldies but goodies:

G. Edward Griffin's "The Creature from Jekyll Island." You've heard of it before, but maybe you thought it was a horror novel. It's got some scary stuff in it about our economic system, but it's not fiction, unfortunately. Do you finally want to understand the Federal Reserve? This is the book for you.

And lastly there's the epic video story called "The Money Masters," one of the best-selling products in the history of the WND Superstore. It's the perfect companion for Griffin's book, a skillful movie made by Bill Still of "Oz" fame. It's three-and-a-half hours worth of shocking education. I predict you will watch this video more than once – absorbing new information each viewing.

I wish every American would read these books and view these movies. If they did, our country would already be on the road to economic recovery. So, let's get started. Start spreading the news.
