[The following post is by TDV Chief-Editor, Jeff Berwick]
I was contacted today by a Dollar Vigilante subscriber with an urgent situation.
He lives in Denmark and, as many TDV subscribers are, is not a fan of government. As such he had said some things about some politicians on Facebook that "hurt their feelings" and he now fears that he may have to spend six months in jail.
Surely hurting someone's feelings can't be illegal in Denmark, can it? Yes, it is illegal to hurt the feelings of a "public servant" in Denmark!

[The following post is by TDV Chief Editor, Jeff Berwick]
As if it wasn't bad enough that the US federal government extorts its citizens for more than $2 trillion per year in taxes and the Federal Reserve devalues the US dollar by nearly 10% per year… but at the same time trillions more is wasted via regulation.
In an annual report just issued by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) entitled ‘10,000 Commandments’, they estimated that the total cost for Americans to comply with the myriad of regulations stipulated by the government in the Land of the Free was $1.86 trillion in 2013.

[The following post is by TDV Chief Editor, Jeff Berwick]

[The following post is by TDV Editor-in-Chief, Jeff Berwick]
When it comes to extortion, or as they call it, income tax, the places where you want to be a citizen are colored green on the following map. Those countries have no income tax on individuals. The next best countries to be a citizen of, but not live in (as per the Permanent Traveller/Prior Taxpayer – PT Theory) are the ones shaded in blue. Those countries will charge you income tax if you are a citizen of that country AND also residing there… but if you are not residing there they will not charge you income tax.

270 million years ago, the supercontinent Pangea formed. 70 million years later, it began to break up. The above photo has been circulating around the internet. It's Pangea with the world's artificially constructed borders upon it. Of course, when Pangea existed there were no people, and so there were no borders. If you wanted to drive from, say, DC to Tehran, it might take a few weeks or so.

[The following post is by TDV Editor-In-Chief, Jeff Berwick]
Any movie about the corruption of the US government and the US financial system that is blacklisted in the US is bound to get our attention.

I'll let the trailer mostly speak for the movie itself here:

[The following post is by TDV Senior Analyst, Ed Bugos]
Individualism is the ethic that, in the west, laid the foundation for massive industrialized societies to emerge from the economic principle of the division of labor… for the abandonment of slavery… and, ultimately, which raised so many people out of poverty.
Under the ancien regime – before the doctrine of individualism and of individual rights in the natural sense came about – the individual never had rights. One may have been part of a family or tribe, where maybe the head had rights in some sense as the citizen of a state.

We're not saying it isn't incredibly nice, but it better be for over nearly half-a-billion dollars! Yes, this penthouse in Monaco is on offer for $400 million.

A bit out of your price range? Don't worry, all the other units in the building are in the affordable $100 million range.

Although here at The Dollar Vigilante we generally do not write about pre-1933 gold coins, the following chart was brought to our attention. Originally posted here, it demonstrates today's premiums on some popular gold coins when compared to their historical premiums.
