June 15, 2015 London, England In the history of post-Norman monarchs in the UK there have been nine Henrys. Eight Edwards. Four Williams. Four Georges. And three Richards. Yet there was only one John. In fact, in nearly 1,000 years since William the Conqueror took England in 1066, John was
June 15, 2015 London, England [Editor’s note: This letter was written by Tim Price, London-based wealth manager and frequent Sovereign Man contributor.] Today marks the end of the most notorious example of fiscal insanity in modern times. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe today begins a process to “demonetise” its now
June 11, 2015 Oxford, England OK this is really getting ridiculous. Despite being the sacred keepers of the Catholic faith and trustees of the meek, the Holy See has just inked a deal with the US government putting the Pope in bed with the Internal Revenue Service. It’s so bizarre
June 9, 2015 Oxford, England In the 5th century BC during the Golden Age of Athens, culture and intellect flourished in Ancient Greece more than at any other time or place in history up to that point. It was an amazing period of discovery. Philosophers Socrates and Plato, writers Sophocles
June 8, 2015 Paris, France I’ll be up front with you and say that this video is disturbing. It’s like a bucket of ice-cold water thrown in the face of the dream world that most people are walking through. Watching riots on TV in places like Baltimore and Ferguson,

June 3, 2015 Buenos Aires, Argentina My general rule of thumb when it comes to legislation is that the more high-sounding the name, the more insidious the law. Exhibit A: the just-passed USA FREEDOM Act. “Freedom”. It sounds great. So great, in fact, that they stuck it in the title
June 2, 2015 London, England [Editor’s note: Tim Price, London-based wealth manager, is filling in while Simon travels to Buenos Aires today.] FIFA headquarters seem more like a nuclear bunker than a swanky executive facility – or perhaps they are both. They take up 11 acres on the Zürichberg, cost

And chances are you didn’t catch the November 20, 2014 edition of the ‘Federal Register’, the US government’s daily opus of
May 29, 2015 Sovereign Valley Farm, Chile I came across an interesting story from India recently. In a landmark animal rights case, the High Court there ruled that birds can no longer be kept in cages. The judges asserted that birds have a fundamental right to live with dignity and
May 27, 2015 Santiago, Chile It seems strange that a complete accident of birth has such a massive impact on someone’s life. We don’t get to control where we’re born. It’s a fluke really. Yet as soon as we come into this world a particular nationality is thrust upon us
