Socialist monetarism: (sōSHələst mänidərizəm) the takeover of the free world by an oligarchy of bankers
The unthinkable is happening; in fact, the final chapter is being written as you read this.
Governments around the (presumably) free world have ceded fiscal and economic control of their countries to central bankers, who, drunk with power, are methodically replacing free-market capitalism with a new order of socialist monetarism.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're not alone. See, you're not supposed to know.
The fact is, we're supposed to think that central banks are our economic saviors.
But what they're actually doing, right before our very eyes, is radically changing the world we know.
And not at all for the better...

How You Can Win This Ugly Earnings "Baseball" Game
If you're a big baseball fan – as I am – then you know that a team's leadoff hitter plays a determinative role in the club's success or failure.
Great leadoff hitters – guys like Rickey Henderson, Richie Ashburn, and Ichiro Suzuki – are terrific "table-setters." As the first hitter to the plate, their job is to "get something started" by getting on base in any way possible – and to serve as an emotional catalyst for the rest of the team… and for the fans in the stadium.
Some of baseball's all-time best leadoff guys were masters at igniting momentum – my favorite old-timer was Eddie Stanky, an infielder and leadoff hitter whose nickname – "The Brat" – reflected his penchant for momentum-swinging plays.
Branch Rickey, the baseball executive who broke the color barrier by signing Jackie Robinson, once took note of Stanky's "spark plug" qualities by observing: "He can't run, he can't hit, and he can't throw. But if there's a way to beat the other team, he'll find it."
In 1951, in a World Series game between the New York Giants and New York Yankees, Stanky (who was then a Giant) tried to steal second base and realized Bronx Bombers shortstop Phil Rizzuto was already waiting to apply the tag. But instead of accepting the out, Stanky (a former soccer player) kicked out with his right foot as he slid and punted the ball out of Rizzuto's mitt and into centerfield.
The Brat popped up and skittered to third. The error lead to five unearned runs and a Giants victory that day.
Rizzuto never forgave Stanky for the play.
So while a walk, hit, or even an occasional homer by the leadoff hitter can ignite a team and even fire up the fans in the stands, the opposite is also true.
And of course a poor showing – like a three-pitch strikeout – by the leadoff hitter can hang over a game like a depressingly thick fog. It has a deleterious effect on the other hitters – and can take the fans right of the game.
And when that happens, things can get downright ugly - as I'll show you right now...
