I should NEVER watch Dr. Paul before bed... I get so energized by his message I don't sleep! ;-)
Can we just run him on every TV,Cable, radio station for a week solid?? what an impact that would make.
Bless you Dr. Paul.
I can hardly sleep after I watch him either! All that helps is to read more, and to paraphrase him, "spend some time and invest learning about individual freedom and liberty"!
Wonderful speech. Dr. Paul is too kind to state the real objective of the people at the FED, which is theft. He always assigns altruistic motives to folks and never goes for the jugular. But, the message comes through.
If we are parasitic stock meal now, what will it be like when we are taxed for breathing or using energy? Can you imagine wondering if you can afford the carbon credits because you just realized you're pregnant with twins and only planned a single baby? Or telling your children you cannot be with them for the holidays because you can't get the carbon credit to travel? Moving to a sustainable community and living stacked while Maurice Strong rides his helicoptero over his newly acquired range in the West US?
And if we buy gold now: we support the fiat pricing empire of the IMF/BIS as they manouever the sdr-manipulated implosion of hard currency. Gold is not a hard currency: it's price will be called into question with the demise of dollar pricing.
Will one be able to use gold to purchase carbon credits to make life bearable? If the aims of the elite players are fulfilled the answer would be no: the elite do not want to share their personal space with us pitchfork fellows. Why should they when the disparity would only provoke violence?
There is something very fishy with the IMF at present: and especially that gold 'sale' to India.
I spend a lot of time reading gold site literature believing that the information was purer somehow, but I came to realize that the gold-bugs would ride this train to Aushwitz with their sack of gold and jump off right before reaching the station if it meant their gold would retain a high price. Fuck the other passengers.
And the price of gold is not an indication of gold's value: the price of gold at present is a representation of the play of the corrupt fiat gambling exchange and indicative also of fraud in the etf market.
The longer we play the game the easier for the big boys to bait, switch, and hog-tie us all to their benefit. The fiat currency endgame is not meant to benefit anyone but those who directly own interest in the currency game: and it won't benefit anybody else.
Let me ask you a question and I’m not inferring this is the situation at present:
What was the fungibility of a gold in Zimbabwe after the depreciation?
Were you better off in gold or Zimbabwean dollar?
From what I read credit came to a halt…what happened to those holding gold? currency?
Zero, but it all depends on whether you are allowed to bring it to the market..Remember the Zimbabwean gold was dug out of the ground by its starved population to buy state bread, not entirely ethical gold..
But the horror of Zimbabwe is that the locals were forced to mine gold to survive. It wasn’t a normal exchange circumstance. And you are most likely right that it would have been better to be in gold than the Zimbabwe dollar. Because gold was still priced in dollars and the international financial system was still operating in fiat gold pricing.
Question is: can we correlate the past experience with gold exchange during currency collapse to the future probable collapse of the dollar? I think not. The entire system of fiat exchange will be decimated this go round.
Daniel, gold has a long history of acceptance in exchange and there seems to be a market everywhere. There are brokers all over the world for the Perth certificates that can be exchanged into the currency of your choice depending on where you are.
I expect that as the FRN continues to depreciate a black market in currencies will appear. It is just natural. There is a black market in soap now in Washington State since they have mandated green products only. If the green products worked and were priced competitively no black market would evolve. If the FRN holds value then all will be fine. Doubtful.
As far as being selfish, self interest will benefit everyone. If everyone goes down with the ship there will be no survivors. The elite cannot keep this up. The productive sector is reaching the point where they can't support the leaches much longer. Crash is inevitable.
Your points are well taken. You can't eat gold. You can eat FRN's but they are not very nutritional. Perhaps we should store up other commodities than gold. Whiskey and soap come to mind. Anything with which to trade.
As long as the central government has access to fiat currency and legal tender laws they can do whatever they want; print up enough money out of thin air to pay for it; and stick the people with the bill through inflation and rising prices. On the other hand, sound money restrains government since the people will not stand for their adventures (war, welfare, corporatism, etc.) if they are taxed directly for it. END THE FED! (Something I have been saying since 1962.)
My name is John Albert Dummett Jr. I am running for the Senate seat held by Barbara Boxer here in California in 2010. I am not a career politician. As a matter of fact this is the first government elected office I have ever run for. I am a Conservative Patriot who realizes that we stand on the abyss if oblivion as a free nation.
I ask you to please visit my temporary web site at johndummett4senate.com to see where I am coming from and how I see this nation should be run. Everything I wrote I mean. If we don’t get rid of all the career politicians then we are doomed to flip flop between parties. All we will manage to do is change faces and not ways of doing things.
If you agree wit h what I say and how I envision how this nation should run I ask that you help spread the word that I am running. Hopefully you may even offer to help me with my campaign. The biggest difference between the other candidates and me is I am just an ordinary patriot who cares not for power or wealth but for the health of this nation.
Please be sure to sign my guest book to let me know you have seen my site, If you wish I can accept donations now but they have to be sent to my campaign bank account until my new web site is up and running.
Like Cincinattus of Ancient Rome I believe it is the duty of citizens to step up to help the nation in times of crisis. When the crisis has passed it is the duty of the person elected to go back home and put down the mantle of power.
Thank you and God bless you and God Bless the United States of America.

Ethical Investment Addressed By Ron Paul In New Orleans.
When both the spirit of liberty and the substance of prosperity come together the voice of ideological change will reverberate off every building, in every valley, across the plains, along the coasts, throughout the mountains, in the bayou, and even among the cacti!
This is the time for the message of liberty and justice to reach the bewildered populace, thereby quickening them.
The bankruptcy of the counterfeit unConstitutional coup is no match for honest money and the Constitutional resolve of the swelling ranks of individuals who understand the principles of classical liberalism.

danielvalley, I think you are missing the point. Gold has no counter party risk and as such is the ultimate extinguisher of debt. The entire fiat currency system is irredeemable, and all debt is relative and dependent for its performance on something else - another debt instrument.
Unless the elite decide to switch to a commodity based currency front running it so they can corner the market on whatever commodity they choose to back the basket, any system they devise is doomed to failure as ours has reached its demise. That includes the fantasy carbon credits. Its all a gigantic pyramid of promises, promises that cannot be kept. They would be better off devising some kind of energy credit to be used for exchange instead of an outright tax like carbon credits.
Gold is superior since as Bill mentioned it has a long history of exchange as well as its other inherent properties of which we are all familiar.
Thank you Dr. Paul for your tireless efforts!
