Dear reader, P.J. O'Rourke here – editor in chief of American Consequences – a new free online magazine that I've launched. Every month, we tackle a big issue that matters... whether it's an issue affecting your money, the American economy, or the "next big thing" (or next big flop) in technology. We've released two issues so far... (If you missed them, you can subscribe, at no cost, right here.) Our inaugural issue is a no-baloney look at what's really happening with the biggest absurdity in the world today... the power of the Federal Reserve. (And the nonsense of central banking around the world.) I wonder what it would be like to have my own central bank... Porter Stansberry introduces the "Escher Economy"... Don't miss our conversation with Julian Assange – one of the most controversial figures in the world... And I even try my hand at deciphering "Fed Speak." Click here for the full issue. Then in our July issue, we tackle bitcoin. (And the blockchain computer technology behind it.) We don't take a side... Instead, we put together a three-way cage match with three experts who don't agree with each other at all. We even had a Las Vegas reporter venture into the world's first "crypto strip club." Plus... We peek into a dozen top speculators' portfolios...Feature a look inside a global cyber war from former CIA officer Buck Sexton... And share wining and dining tips from bestselling author Turney Duff and winery owner Dr. David Eifrig. If you've ever wondered about gold vs. bitcoin vs. the U.S dollar, this issue is for you. The best part, as I mentioned, is... American Consequences is completely free. You can sign up to begin receiving this magazine, plus read our June and July issues immediately, by clicking right here. When you do so, you'll be first to receive our August issue... We're teasing out what today's new, "mutant capitalism" means for investors... Why the world's biggest companies (like Facebook, Amazon, Google, and Apple) are a bugabear for regulation-happy do-gooders... How the largest, hottest tech companies manage to deliver few (or no) profits... A tale from a woebegone Blue Apron IPO investor... And a profile on one of Wall Street's most feared short-sellers. One more time – just in case you haven’t noticed what we've been pestering you to do about half a dozen times already – to receive this free magazine, click here. Regards, P.J. O'Rourke
