The Gold Confiscation Of April 5, 1933

If Roosevelt could do it Obama could as well.

Fogedaboudit, this scenario is far more likely to play out under a conservative Republican administration.
When the U.S. and other major currencies moved from the gold standard to the dollar standard (starting in 1958), this is not an issue. I doubt we'll be moving back to the gold standard - at least not under the current Administration.

I notice that gold and silver were prohibited. What about other precious metals (say platinum)?

Not particularly convincing since the dollar was not being debased during the Great Depression, when they abolished the private ownership of gold. Rather, we were in a period of sustained deflation.

Seems to me that if the globalist’s goal is destroy American independence via destruction of our currency and banking in order to integrate us into a new global order, what is to say that other nations and currencies won’t be swept away as well? Taken a bit further, if a global economic system were to be unified along the lines of universal electronic credits, then even gold could be done away with and made valueless since no other economy could receive gold as a way of protecting wealth and liquid assets. Black markets are parallel markets - they must communicate with the above ground market via some kind of currency mutually liquid in both realms. A global credit system would negate gold, foreign bank accounts and black markets, too - well, except for barter items.

Just my $2.00 worth.

Americans doing nothing to protect their liberty. Sick of it. Fill out your damned ballots and sit & stroke your newly illegal guns & ammo until the Obamapolizei come home and say you've done all you can, oh well.

Galt's Gulch is calling me. I'm done with American'ts.

In 1957, Sen. George W. Malone of Nevada said before Congress about the Federal Reserve:

"I believe that if the people of this nation fully understood what Congress has done to them over the past 49 years, they would move on Washington: they would not wait for an election ... It adds up to a preconceived plan to destroy the economic and social independence of the United States."
