You are 100% correct. I would say only 3 Americans out of 1000 know or give a hoot about this. Americans were ordered to surrender all gold coins at the rate of $20/oz. They got 20$ in Fed Reserve Notes in return for each oz. Afterwards FDR declared that for settling trade accounts with foreign nations the US dollar to be defined as 1/35th ounce of gold instead of 1/20th ounce of gold. This was a dollar devaluation as far as foreigners were concerned.
Well, as a homeschooler, I don’t doubt that the government indoctrination centers don’t teach the REAL history of how they stole from the Americans of the thirties.
Can’t have the little people knowing TOO much about how the government steals from them. Talk about dumbing down.
Here is a video that is 30 minutes, the covers the housing collapse, the FED and is kind of fun, too.
