On
Tuesday May 6, the Epsom Public Library will be showing the movie
“Big Eyes” at 2:00 PM. Rated PG-13, the film tells the true story
of one of the most outrageous frauds in history.
Painter Walter Keane’s paintings of waifs with big eyes was
discovered to have been painted by his wife. He catapulted to fame
while taking credit for her work.
Epsom Food Pantry
Well, I
did not disappear, just had lots going at home and the time to meet
my deadline for the paper went by, but you folks are probably glad
for a rest from me. Just talked with Ken and he said all was good.
We can always use eggs, milk, and cream soups.
One
nice addition was some maple syrup from Scott Elliot. Doesn’t that
sound yummy? Again, a reminder to plant a row or two for the
Pantry.
I want
to personally thank all you folks who fill our boxes at the Library,
Care Pharmacy and other food drops. You are truly appreciated.
Until
next time,
Priscilla

Letter To The Editor
Misplaced priorities.
“The
Fed”.
The
Federal Reserve Bank.
The
central bank of the United States government.
Since
its inception over 100 years ago, the Fed has been deliberately and
continually printing more and more paper money, thereby devaluing
the currency, destroying the ability of citizens to save, and wiping
out the value of that which has been saved.
Throughout this same time period, the Fed has repeatedly engaged in
“credit expansion”, inflating the money supply by injecting massive
amounts of money into the credit markets.
Consequently, the Fed is solely responsible for bringing about the
Great Depression and the recent “Great Recession” and every
recession/depression in-between.
As you
read this, another crash/depression is bearing down upon us like a
freight train.
Government sponsored inflation seldom ends well.
The
French inflation of the 1790’s laid the groundwork for Napoleon and
the German inflation of the 1920’s made for fertile ground for
Hitler.
That
said, when it comes to our money, what are Americans concerned
about?
They’re
concerned about whose picture is on the $20 bill!
The
little kids you see peddling around on their bikes, playing little
league, and whatnot.
In all
likelihood, they are going to live another 50, 60, or 70 years.
Unless
the Fed stops inflating the currency, they will experience firsthand
the poverty, the political and economic chaos, which inflation
causes as it comes to an end of its own accord.
As for
freedom, unless history carves out an exception for America (which
it will not), the little kids of today will, in all probability, be
living under a totalitarian regime as the worse individuals among us
take advantage of the coming chaos and garner positions of power.
At that
point, whose picture is on bunch of worthless $20 bills will be of
little comfort.
