The Conspiracy Skeptic Podcast

Want to know the truth behind Roswell and UFOs? You know how I write, but are you curious how I sound? Then listen to Karl's fantastic The Conspiracy Skeptic Unplugged podcast with this episode's guest- me. You can find it on iTunes, the links to the right, or here.

One thing that became obvious to me, is that Karl really knows a lot about conspiracies. Several times right before the recording, I emailed him with a change in the conspiracy I wanted to talk about. Karl's response was always "great, that'll be fun" where I had expected him to need time or preparation to change topics. Nope. Karl knew almost everything he needed off the top of his head. That, my friends, indicates a genuine conspiracy groupie! If you want to wade through conspiracies to find the truth in a fair, logical and fun fashion, you are in good hands with Karl.

If you haven't yet tuned in, I highly recommend it. In fact, I had asked Karl to participate here at TLRB after listening to his double show about the Fed. He gets it!

The Fed - Part II

In part I, we talked a little bit about what the Fed does, and how it tries to juggle its multiple mandate to safeguard the banking system, achieve the highest level of employment possible, and keep inflation under control.

The Fed - Tool of the New World Order or Jewish Conspiracy? Part I

How about 'none of the above?'  Of course, there are many people who would pick both, and add a few choice words as well.  It is true enough that the founding fathers were very suspicious of central banks, and worked hard to prevent the United States from having one.  These days, though, a country without a central bank is like a hockey team without a goalie - it's not against the rules, but it would lead to some wild action.
