“It is not part of or controlled by the Federal Government.”
Shhhhhhhhhh...that’s one of best kept secrets around. “They”, whoever they is, don’t want us to know this.
Thanks.
Thank you. You explained that better than I could.
That is what I would like to know.
There was gold in the vault at the basement of the Trade Center...Story kinda disappeared.
The Odyssey has been running around salvaging all the old shipwreck sites. That is suppose to be the backing of the new digital gold.
The gold from the holocaust victims was salvaged that was off the coast of Venezuela.
Spain is suppose to allow salvaging of their shipwreck sites soon.
Now, he who holds the gold is in charge?
Might be what Ron Paul meant in his writings.
The Federal Reserve does not print our currency, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing which an agency of the US Treasury does that.
You aren’t alone. There are quite a few freepers I’ve trailed on here for years when I see someone that understands what I don’t. That is how I figured out as much as I did. And it isn’t alot.
Ok, they print it for the Federal Reserve.
I book marked the links you posted. I'll go back and read them throughly tonight.
Someone has control of the worlds gold and silver and another question would be why are they holding onto it?
I've been reading lately about salvaging old sunken ships. I never thought about a connection before just people looking for a pot of gold in one of the old wrecks.
I’ll do that now, thanks.
>>>Someone has control of the worlds gold and silver and another question would be why are they holding onto it?
That is who is in charge. (?)
This is incorrect. Dollars have always been silver. The word dollar is used twice in the Constitution without any sort of definition because everyone then knew what it meant. (Just as everyone knew what year meant.) Gold is (or was when it was coined) denominated in eagles which were worth Ten Dollars each. The amount of gold in an eagle has varied. The amount of silver in a dollar has not varied.

The Federal Reserve is a cartel of banks.
Now back to the rest of the story.
I do know that the book was discussed back when this place was more than a Republican cheering section — back around 1999-2000 — but not much since. Maybe now you’ll understand why I haven’t changed my tagline since.
Almost. Between 1873 and 1878, "Trade dollars" of a heavier weight, intended for use in purchasing trade goods from asian nations, were minted by the US, while the subsidiary silver coinage has been minted using less silver (than the definition of a dollar in silver under the 1792 Act) since 1853. During that 6 year period, and any other time silver dollars were not minted (e.g., 1905-20), actual practice supports the view that the legal definition of a dollar was different from the 1792 definition, albeit that definition has not been repealed.
Miners used to bring their silver to a government mint which would stamp the silver into recognizable units in exchange for a small fee known as seignorage. This ended in 1964.
That was, indeed, the original practice; I do not know when it ended. However, starting in 1878, statutes required the purchase of silver bullion to be minted into silver dollars. So our coinage was not limited to what citizens brought to the mint.

These countries have been purchased because the politicians in those countries are now totally addicted to this money. We talk about welfare families in America that are third and fourth generation welfare, they're on the dole forever, they cannot dream of anything else. The politicians in these countries are the same way and it's now second, third and in some cases fourth generation international welfare from the United Nations funding. They have no ideology--communism, socialism, capitalism, fascism, what difference does it make? where's the money? As long as they live well, they have their mansions, their yachts, their limousines, they go to New York to the UN and have their suites at the Waldorf-Asoria and that's all they care about.
These countries have been purchased through this means and are now owned by this group at the UN and they're firmly in place in the new world order where they're just waiting for you and me to show up. That's the other side of this coin. Not only does this transfer of wealth from America to these countries not raise their standard of living but it does lower ours. That too, believe it or not, is part of the plan. Just waste, get rid of money, get rid of productive power to reduce our standard of living. A strong nation is not a candidate to surrender its sovereignty but a weak nation is. If America can be brought to her knees where she is struggling for survival, if people are hungry, if we have riots in our streets, then Americans could possibly be grateful for any assistance we could get from the UN. Those wonderful blue-helmeted peace-keeping forces could bring order back to our streets or international money, a new world money with purchasing power again might be welcomed by the unthinking, unknowing American public. That is what we're dealing with.
What I'm trying to say is that the name of the game out there is not wealth, it is power.
I'm gonna go outside and have a smoke while I digest this. the un
I’m being called on symantics here.
I will reword. But it has nothing to do with my point.
A dollar was a VALUE. I don’t care if it was gold or eagle or a shoe.
It was a value, not a noun.
Now the value depends on the shorters.
