A Clever Alternative To Secession--Gold Is Not The Answer, It's The Problem

Gold Is Not The Answer, Gold Is Part of The Problem

Bank of North Dakota

In my last post I quoted Patriot Update's contention that Patrick Henry, the great American revolutionary figure, proposed secession. It was only suggested because Henry believed devoutly that the Constitution was an abandonment of freedom won in the Revolutionary War.

Today, with America financing war after war--and getting deeper and deeper in debt--with our tax dollars and the Fed giving money away like  peanuts, his words are coming true. He believed groups of states joined together in a loose confederacy could better preserve hard-fought freedoms than a one power-sucking central government like we have today. He was right, you know. About the central government being too big and too much of a power magnate.

My idea is not my idea, it has been tried and tested for 90 years by the State of North Dakota. It is their state bank, The Bank of North Dakota. It has successfully operated, treating citizens of North Dakota with preference, churning all profits from bank operations back to North Dakota's state government for infra structure improvements, thus lowering taxes for of all its citizens. This is not just a good idea, it's a great idea. Especially, at a time when the U.S. central bank, The Federal Reserve System, without having to seek our approval  or telling Americans, is sending trillions of dollars of debt-filled American money to various countries of the world, fulfilling their dream of creating a one-world economy on the backs of our grandchildren.

Joseph Fareh, of worldnetdaily.com, had this to say about the Fed: "It is no secret to anyone that we are living in very precarious times. Americans are being robbed blind and they don't even know who's doing the robbing."

"Clearly we're in a bust and we're headed to the edge of a cliff," said Peter Schiff, author of Crashproof.  
"There's still probably time to change course. The only problem is that the people driving the bus don't yet realize that there's a cliff there." He's right, none of the GOP candidates--except Ron Paul--are even talking about this. None but Paul are serious about auditing and ending the Fed's domination over our money.


But Bill Still, Schiff, and Fareh understand the problem.  They are talking about today's huge financial crisis, much of it caused by the housing financial bubble that burst in 2008. It existed because of hubris and political desires of people like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and others to make sure that every American was able to purchase a house. They got President George W. Bush to tell Fannie and Freddie to lower home buyer entry requirements and that if there was a problem the government would "back them up." Well, those loans predictably failed. We are in the backup stage, with bailout after bailout of banks, GM, Chrysler, Wall Street, and  other friends of Barak Obama--even a government takeover of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae..

The bust is here and we are even closer to a depression than ever before that will see further foreclosures and soaring prices at the stores, and the answer isn't gold. Nationally, gold is the problem. 

The problem has driven business to a halt and jobless numbers to soar to over ten percent at one point. In certain age sectors, such as 16 to 25, the jobless number is more like 25 percent. It is also very high in the 55 to 65 age category. Many people just can't find a job they are qualified for. Michael Hudson, professor of economics, University of Missouri (Kansas City) says because no one in the government of either party is solving the problem. "...the answer is that it's going to go into a depression as far as the eye can see." And the answer isn't another FDR-like phony jobs building effort. It has its roots in our monetary system.

"What can the government do?" asks Bill Still, prize winning documentary winner. "The sad answer is that it's not going to get any better until the root cause of the problem is understood and addressed. There isn't enough stimulus money in the world to get us out of this hole. Why debt? [Why do we have the debt?]. The national debt [in January, 2012 it is approaching $16 trillion] is just like our consumer debt. It's the interest that's killing us."

Byron Dale is of the same mind. "You must understand that every penny, every dollar, that we have in circulation is created as interest bearing debt." Dale is a Minnesota legislator trying to set up a North Dakota-like state bank in the Gopher State. He authored the popular book Modern Money Secrets. Like the others, he is convinced that as long as we have the Fed printing our money, there will be a problem.

The answer is to return to interest-free money printed for the benefit of all Americans by the U.S. government. We have seized this power from the central bankers six times, but each time--for reasons no one can adequately explain--we have allowed a central bank to rule over us, making them our masters and each of us serfs or slaves to big money. Each time the Fed takes over, it nullifies most of what America was fighting for in the Revolution. The war was fought because England demanded colonialist honor an English Stamp Act that exacted heavy fees and taxes from the Americans. And it had to be paid in gold. That galvanized opposition to England and led to the Revolutionary War, because Colonial America had no gold. No other currency would satisfy these money hungry Bank of England "rulers" who today are complicit in the biggest world fraud ever--that of setting up central banks in most countries, making citizens of the world beholden to them.

When government spends more than it collects in taxes, it has to borrow the difference in the form of interest-bearing IOUs such as U.S. bonds. "When a U.S. bank buys a one hundred dollar U.S. bond," says Still, "it gets to loan out ten times that amount. So the bank not only gets back the one hundred dollars plus interest on the federal government, it gets to loan out another thousand dollars the bank does not have and charge additional interest.

"Banks are allowed to create this extra money out of thin air. That's why bank buildings are the biggest in any town on the planet. [This system of lending much more than what you have is called Fractional Reserve Lending. Almost all of our money is made that way, lending it to people, companies, and government.]

But there is another way for government to get money. Simply issue it without debt for the benefit of all citizens equally the same way it was done by Abraham Lincoln, Ben Franklin and Andrew Jackson. Honest men have fought this debt-money system throughout history. "But unless we change it soon most of our freedom will soon be lost in a tidal wave of debt," says Still.

This is the most important subject intelligent people can investigate and reflect upon. Yet, only Ron Paul, of all those running for the White House, has any notion of the problem and its solution. To elect anyone but Ron Paul is a vote for the same politics of the past fostered by Bill Clinton, George Bush, and Barak Obama. Big government, big military, aggressive wars, and massive debt are currently our biggest problems--in other words, the monetary problem that is driven by the above drivers of debt is our problem. But the solution is simple. Understand how the money works in America and you can solve the problem. Understand that you must dissolve the Fed before you can solve America's money problem.

Why aren't politicians debating this issue? It is because all except Congressman Paul are beholden to big money interests in our country and abroad. If not, then how did Romney, Perry, and Cain amass the money they collected to run for president? Sound preposterous? Well, it isn't. It's a fact of life and Americans had better educate themselves on this problem or we are done as a free country.

While Most Run Popularity Contests, Ron Paul Speaks Liberty From The Heart

By Don White
January 1, 2012
When Governor Mitt Romney challenged his opponent Texas Governor Rick Perry to a bet of $10,000 to once and for all prove Romney did not support an individual health care mandate, he lost a lot more than the heart and soul of Iowa conservative voters.

Patrick Henry

We all thought Romney may have ruined his chances for winning the Iowa Caucus, but no. These are some of the most forgiving souls alive, because despite the bad press Romney got among Evangelicals and among his own Latter-day Saint faithful, both of which who condemn betting and gambling of any kind, this former governor from Massachusetts seems to be flying high.

The hint that a prospective leader who himself spent two or more years preaching the gospel in France and headed a parish as an older family man and is familiar with the evils of gambling--though he has successfully argued this was not an offer to gamble, just a debate ploy-- must be a big turnoff for millions of voters across the nation. As it turns out, he leads in Iowa polls, but barely--by just a couple of points in a race that could go either way.

His blatant act of attempting, or appearing to look like he was attempting, to bet ten grand on national TV branded this multimillionaire as immature and insensitive to millions of unemployed who may not make much more than that in a year in Iowa and across the country. It raised so many eyebrows that at the time the poll leader Newt Gingrich got a political bump out of it and so did ultra-conservative Dr. Ron Paul.

The flack has now calmed down, but I'm still wondering where his mind was when he pulled out this unfortunate debating "trick." What was Romney thinking? Has his pride waved goodbye to his good judgment or brainpower?

It leads many to wonder if this charismatic rich man is right for the presidency and whether the GOP presidential campaign has become a spending contest and a popularity pageant and nothing more. One has to wonder why a man like Romney runs for the White House. Does he have a genuine desire to help poor people, or is it his hubris he wants to feed? Romney is now in his late sixties and doesn't need another feather in his cap to enjoy life with his wife of 42 years and  a great family of six boys and sixteen grandchildren.

But really and unfortunately, the race for the U.S. presidency has become a popularity contest and nothing more. Issues are perverted and  lied about, pride is palpable, and accomplishment is often stretched to the limit. Take Congresswoman Michelle Backman, for example. She has lied about so many things that it would be hard to count them all. This one personality defect renders her and most of the field ineligible for leadership on a national scale. Of course, compared to Clinton, Bush and Obama they may seem like saints.

When you look at those who have successfully run and become president, it wasn't their high moral behavior or inability to tell a lie that got them there. It was money, and the twisting of the arms of allies and people in power positions, people with axes to grind themselves. Wall Street and Big Bankers. These candidates, excepting one, are all beholden to the devil embodied in big banking interests.

That one man is Ron Paul. He alone, it seems, does not rely on self aggrandizement. Congressman Ron Paul,  most closely resembles Patriot Patrick Henry or freedom historian-writer- ideologue Thomas Payne than any of the field.

The Patriot Update tells about Patrick Henry. All of it rings true for Ron Paul who, alone, opposes big government spending, more trillion-dollar wars--or aggressive wars of any kind--and promises to save a trillion dollars his first year in office, bring the troops home (all of them), balance the budget in three years, and stop pandering to foreign nations in the form of foreign aid.

______________________________________________________________________

Patriot Update: Patrick Henry, one of my favorite Founding Fathers because of his honesty, passion, and sheer devotion to the exercise and protection of fundamental liberty, opposed the US Constitution openly and aggressively.  He was concerned about the consolidation of federal authority and especially the power concentrated in the office of the President.  A particular concern was the President’s authority and command over the armed forces.  Henry predicted that a president could use the military “to run roughshod over the republic.”  (Lincoln and the Civil War!!)  He was highly skeptical of the broad taxing power delegated to the Congress.  He believed the Constitution allowed the government to control the governed, with little ability and no obligation to control itself.  And he argued that the Constitution effectively ignored the essential role of the States.

Furthermore, Henry always wondered whether Americans had the moral fiber to safeguard the freedom secured by the American Revolution. By 1776, he saw a moral depravity that concerned him, and he believed it would eventually set the stage for tyranny.  The delegates of the Constitutional Convention, he argued, foolishly assumed that all politicians would be virtuous men.  He criticized many of the Founders and drafters, Christian republicans as they were, for not realizing that this assumption was a fatal flaw.

“Nothing could check a national government entrusted with vast military might and the unlimited authority to tax……  Our human rights and privileges are rendered insecure, if not lost, by this Constitution,” he wrote.  What he meant by this, as he often stated, was that the Constitution represented an outright repudiation of the American Revolution.

As an alternative to all the States ratifying and binding themselves to document that he believed would destroy liberty and ultimately establish a tyrannical government, Patrick Henry proposed that States establish sectional confederacies (multiple republics).  He further supported this approach because it was his firm belief that the Constitution would give special treatment to Northern states over Southern states and the latter would forever be prejudiced in representation and legislation.  Another little known fact is that Henry proposed secession in 1781, certainly for Virginia, and for other states as well.

In opposing the Constitution and its ratification, Patrick Henry believed he was defending the ideals of the Revolutionary War and the Declaration of Independence.  He argued that America had just fought for their independence from an abusive political regime (the British monarchy and Parliament) and now Madison and Hamilton were intending to put the newly-free nation back under a strong central government, with a strong executive.  He argued that we were trading one tyrant for another.  To Henry, this was a repudiation of all the liberties that he and the other patriots had fought for.  As he explained: “A monstrous national government was not the solution….  Many had to die to be free from such a regime.”

In an opening speech at the Virginia Ratifying Convention in 1781, Henry pleaded: “A wrong step now will plunge us into misery and our republic will be lost.”  In one of his very last public speeches, given at the same Convention, he delivered this heartfelt message: “Liberty is the greatest of all earthly blessings. Give us that precious jewel and you may take everything else.  There was a time when every pulse of my heart beat for American liberty and which, I believe, had a counterpart in the breast of every true American.  But suspicions have gone forth publicly – suspicions of my integrity – that my professions are not real.  23 years ago, I was supposed a traitor to my country.  I was then said to be a bane of sedition because I supported the rights of my countrymen.  I may be thought suspicious when I say that our privileges and rights are in danger.  But, Sir, a number of people of this country are weak enough to think these things are true….   My great objection to this (new) government is that it does not leave us the means of defending our rights.”

December 23, 2005 Was The Birday of Joseph Smith

embed this tweet

Joseph and Hyrum Smith riding from Nauvoo to Carthage,
Illinois to their death at the hands of assassins.
Joseph is the prophet of the restoration for fourteen
millions of Latter-day Saints the world over who celebrate
his birth each year on December 23.

December 23, 2011, yesterday, was the birthday of a great American, Joseph Smith.
Born in 1805, Joseph Smith was a good and a great man, an inspired man, a prophet of God. In my mind, and in that of millions of people throughout the world, he was the one of the greatest, if not the greatest prophet who ever lived. By virtue of the number of pages of scripture that came through him from God, almost 1,000 pages, he is the greatest. He spent his entire life being the instrument through which the Lord Jesus Christ restored his gospel and his true church to the earth once more in these latter days.

Joseph Smith was the opposite of an evil man, but he was assassinated--shot while at the Carthage, Illinois jail--by an evil mob. My relatives who lived in or near Nauvoo, Illinois at the time revered and adored this great man. More than a few considered him the essence of Godhood personified.

The church he founded in 1830 through revelation and visitation from God the Father and Jesus Christ was forced to move from Nauvoo, Illinois to the Great Salt Lake Valley partly as a result of this heinous crime and partly because of a series of serious crimes against the church that threatened its very existence, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Even the U.S. Government would not redress these crimes, but preferred to merely look the other way, allowing evil men to harass Mormons until these mobsters killed the Mormon prophet and drove the LDS people from Illinois to the Great Basin area of what would become Salt lake City, Utah.

Now, we have an evil law at the disposal of our president. It was just passed by Congress. Now I really believe in the words of Hudson Indtutute writer Peter Sweitzer whose book is entitled Throw them all Out. Because of this new law, the government can detain good people any time the president wants to for no reason at all or for trumped-up political reasons. Americans from coast to coast should be up in arms about this. No longer do we have true Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights of  habeas corpus when it comes to our own safety and the power of the president to throw us in jail and throw away the key. 

It used to be that they had to charge you with a crime. But now they don't. Now you don't even get fair representation--your own attorney--to defend you. All of that seems to have been thrown out the window by evil men in Congress who passed this bill and a president who signed it. Could it be that all of those responsible for the bill passing were misinformed? I doubt it. Congressmen and presidents are some of the most aware and intelligent people in the country. I doubt they didn't know this was going to happen. They merely do not live by the Constitution, that's abundantly clear. If they did, we wouldn't have all of these undeclared wars, all of this fighting in foreign countries for no good end result. Fighting that has cost this country blood and national treasure.

From the president to senators and representatives clear down to the military and all departments of government, people hate it when someone like Ron Paulcomes in from the outside (Yes, he's a Congressman but he's considered a political outsider by the establishment) and tells them..."we no longer need five departments of government; we should not wage war without consent of Congress in the form of a declared war; we should bring home all of the troops, resulting in huge savings of taxpayer money; a smaller government is a safer government; working with NATO and the United Nations is actually against the Constitution. No other organization by our own government should be in charge of spending our funds, should be in charge of our troops, should create America's foreign policy. Yet, because of evil lobbying and money giving, we have a military complex that writes bills and makes decisions for us that they ought not write and make. That's not just the case in the military, but throughout Washington D.C. and in every department of government.

Here's the story. I'll hope that you will read it and comment below on this site. You decide if we still have habeas corpus. I don't believe we do. Time will tell, but I believe we live in a very dangerous country--one that can throw anyone in jail just by calling him/her a terrorist. And without a trial of our peers.

When we get 100,000,000, that's one hundred million willing Christians to BOND together, voice their concerns and vote, we can take back Americawith God's help, Become one of the One hundred million, then lets get 200 million. It can be done by sending this email to your friends. Do the math. It only takes a willing heart and a fed up soul. God Bless America and Shine your light on Her..

In
1952President Truman
established one day a year as a"NationalDay of Prayer."

In
1988President Reagan
designated the
First Thursday in May of each year asthe National Dayof Prayer.

"Was no longer a

President Obamacanceled the 
21st annual National Day
of Prayer ceremonyat the White

Of "not wanting to offend anyone" 

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
BUT... on September 25, 2009from 4 AM until 7 PM,a National Day of Prayer
FOR THE MUSLIM RELIGION
was Held on Capitol Hill, 
Beside the White House.There were over 50,000 Muslims
in D.C. that day. 

HE PRAYS WITH THE MUSLIMS! 
I guess it Doesn't matterif "Christians"Are offended by this event - 
We obviously
Don 't count as
"anyone" Anymore. 

The direction this country is headed 
should strike fear in the heart of every Christian,
especially knowing that the 
Muslim religion believes that if Christians cannot be
converted, they should be annihilated.

"Besides the preaching of the Gospel, we have another mission, namely, the perpetuation of the free agency of man and maintenance of liberty, freedom and the rights of man." (John Taylor, Journal of Discourses 23:63)

Multiple excerpts from this video come from a talk by Ezra Taft Benson, former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and Prophet and President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Source: Ezra Taft Benson. Our Immediate Responsibility. BYU Devotional, October 25, 1966.

"As we have progressed the mist has been removed, and in relation to these matters, the Elders of Israel begin to understand that they have something to do with the world politically as well as religiously, that it is as much their duty to study correct political principles as well as religious, and to seek to know and comprehend the social and political interests of man, and to learn and be able to teach that which would be best calculated to promote the interests of the world." (JD 9:340)

I am only one, but I am one.
I cant do everything, but I can do something.
What I can do, that I ought to do,
And what I ought to do,
By the grace of God, I shall do!
