Warren Buffett Gets It Wrong

Warren Buffett, the leader of Berkshire Hathaway, recently shared insights in his annual report about capitalism and inflation. He emphasized the need for savings and proper capital deployment, while highlighting issues related to fiat money.

• Buffett mentions that poor government decisions can affect the value of paper money, indicating that inflation is linked to government actions.

• He describes capitalism as essential for economic progress, stemming from individuals saving and investing wisely rather than overspending.

• Buffett notes that despite issues in the American process, like scams and capital misallocation, the overall output from American savings has been historically significant.

• He expresses gratitude towards the government for allowing Berkshire's success and references Berkshire’s substantial tax contributions.

• An analysis reveals a contradiction in Buffett's views: he aligns capitalism with government success, overlooking the realities of sound money and the benefits seen during periods without heavy taxation or fiat currency.

• Criticism of taxes suggests they are a form of government theft, undermining personal motivation and economic productivity.

• Buffett’s acknowledgment of problems in capitalism points to the failures of fiat money and a welfare state that stifle personal property rights and investment.

• Ultimately, Buffett's criticism of the fiat system is questioned when he simultaneously supports funds that perpetuate it.

Warren Buffett's insights on capitalism and inflation reveal conflicting views. While he recognizes some problems with fiat money and misallocation, his responses suggest an oversight of the broader economic history and the real impact of government involvement in wealth creation.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
