There are countless hundreds or even thousands of so-called criminals sitting in prison for "counterfeiting", put there by the biggest counterfeiter of all - the Federal Government. I guess they don't like the competition, eh?
After that last paragraph sinks in, you're going to be screaming "Where the hell does he get off accusing the Federal Government of counterfeiting?!?" Well, it's very simple: The only authorized, legal "money" in the United States is GOLD or SILVER. Nothing else. This is straight from the Constitution. In fact, there was something about "paper notes" in the first draft of the Constitution, but it was removed before the final draft, so obviously, the Founding Fathers didn't want paper to be used as money. Now, the "money" we are using would be quasi-legal except for one thing... Notice that the "money" is legally called "Federal Reserve Notes", and on all the bills it says "This *NOTE* is legal tender..." (emphasis added). Now, the word "NOTE" when used in law means a specific thing. A note is a PROMISE TO PAY. So, these FRN's (Federal Reserve Notes) are basically IOU's from the Government saying "Go ahead and use these like they're money, and when you want, come to us and we'll give you the real money." That's all well and good, except for one glaring problem: Just try and go to the Fed reserve and get your money! Just try it! Many people already have, and the answer is always the same - "Get lost!" "Go away!" "That IS real money, fool" and so on and so forth. They won't give you your money without a real long and expensive court battle.
"Well, ok, I understand why the money is fake, but what the hell can we do about it?" Well, I'm not real sure what to do. Protest is one thing. Maybe if enough of us awaken from our TV-induced trance and face reality, and protest this FRAUD, we can accomplish something. Another possible solution is to stop using FRN's. NO, don't go out and use credit cards either, they're fascist contracts with the Fed as well. Use real money. Gold and Silver. I know, it's not easy. George Gordon does it, but then he has a nice big farm and a nice law school too. I don't know what the best solution is, all I know is that IT IS NOT to sit around in a trance and ignore the problem. Something must be done, or the government will think it's OK to continue this fraud, then nothing will ever get taken care of.
You know, the sickest part of this scam is that even if the government would exchange the FRN's for real money, as they have promised to do, the money would STILL BE UTTERLY WORTHLESS. You see, the system is supposed to work like this. The government has a certain amount of Gold and Silver in a reserve (Fort Knox). They print as much paper money as they have Gold and Silver to back up. Then, when someone wants to collect on the IOU (the FRN's), they take the FRN's, DESTROY them, and give the person his Gold and/or Silver. That's called the "Gold Standard". The reality is that the government has printed thousands of times more FRN's than they have Gold and Silver to back up. So, this "money" is not only COUNTERFEIT, but it's also TOTALLY WORTHLESS, based on a NON-EXISTING standard.
Here's another thing to think about: Notice how we always refer to the "TREASURY Department"? The word treasury is formed from the word TREASURE. A treasury is a collection of treasure. Treasure, historically, has been taken to mean gold, silver, diamonds, etc - precious metals and stones. The word treasury is almost always associated with kings, queens, pharaohs, czars and so on and so forth. Scary, isn't it?
