"...I think private monetary systems may be the only way to buy back our liberty..."

The Federal reserve is a private for profit corporation.
No, the only way to get outta this mess is to return to the original document that spelled it all out, the Constitution for the United States.

Article 1, Section 10, clause 1 "No state shall...make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts..."

See also Article 1, sec 8, clause 5

Sorry, we simply diagree. The founders were good, but they weren't perfect. Take Article VI, Clause 2 re the approval of treaties for instance. This is simply another case in which I think that the Constitution rightly should be amended.

In this case, technology has changed the value of gold and silver to that of any another mineral commodity whose value varies with market demand. In fact, without the demand for gold as a raw material for manufacturing electronics it would look even worse as a store of value than it already does.
