• In 1906, Teddy Roosevelt mandated the Army’s first physical fitness test.

• Today’s active-duty force abuses alcohol 20% more than the general population, smokes 50% more, and has a 17% obesity rate despite access to nutritionists, gyms, and wellness centers.

• Last year AAFES stores posted sales exceeding $5 billion, largely by enabling our addictions to dip, Doritos, and drinking. On every base, AAFES offers tobacco at state minimum prices, deals on candy bars, and alcohol without tax. Soldiers can either embrace these cheap, unhealthy options or take a 30-minute trip off-post to find healthy options that cost a premium. The results are obvious. For a force pressed on time and money, 2-for-1 Monster energy drinks, discounted hot dogs, and chewing tobacco are the regular lunch plan.

HEADLINE: Going For Gold by Jacob Imam 

• Because fiat currency is not based in the natural order, it causes the people who use it to suffer. The ability to print money as “needed” may be a boon to business, but in actual fact, most of the money printed is gobbled up by the banks. “The Cantillon Effect” describes the fact that the chief beneficiaries of the expansion of the money supply are the first recipients of the new money (usually the banks): they are able to spend the funds before they have caused prices to increase. Those next receiving the money (other major corporations jumping on the new lines of credit) face a small increase in price levels, and so on. The last recipients of the new money (the poor and the middle-class) face the greatest inflation in prices with the proportionally few dollars that trickle down to them. 
• In short, by printing and distributing money through specific corporate channels, central authorities have not only diminished the value of the common man’s savings but have drastically increased the wealth-gap between those associated with the state and those who are not. This was dramatically seen during the COVID-19 crisis when, between March 2020 and April 2021, the base monetary supply in the US increased by 29.9% and US billionaire wealth increased by 61.9%. Likewise, the top five Wall Street banks—JP Morgan Chase & Co, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup—earned an additional $51 billion that year compared with the year previous.
