Why do we need the gold standard?

Ever heard of Hugo Salinas Price? Want to hear what a billionaire has to say about gold? Click on his name and you will read an amazing article on why it is tremendously important we return to a gold standard if we want to get this country and the world back on track economically. Gold is vital to ensuring we have a healthy economy which isn't based on ever increasing debt and never- ending increases in the size and scope of government.
Please take the time to read this article and then pass it on to your friends and family. This will help you understand why we have been robbed by the people who rule over us and how to end their predations.

Live and let live

Ever hear that? Believe in it?
Ever vote?
Then you are a hypocrite.
What does casting a vote mean?
It means condoning the use of force against others for doing something or believing something you don't agree with.
Example: supporting the "war" on drugs.
Believing it is a good thing to send a paramilitary, mercenary squad into somebody's house and forcing them into a cage for smoking pot.
Right now there are more than 2 million non violent drug users locked in cages in this enlightened, so free country. 2 million "free" people behind bars because they chose to exercise their "liberty".
Doesn't sound like there is to much "Live and let live" happening to me in this "free" country.
But there is a whole lot of fascism happening.
But drugs are bad right? Says who? The government, that paragon of virtue, and morality? Then why do they push the two most abused drugs on the planet; tobacco and alcohol? Maybe because they make a lot of money from pushing it?
And of course they make a lot of money from making other drugs illegal and guaranteeing monopolies for their huge donors in the pharmaceutical business.
But even more importantly by making "good" drugs legal and "bad" drugs illegal they get lots of power and control over people which is what government is really about.
Live and let live? Not in this country.

GDP is a fraud

You know what GDP is? It is supposed to be the market value of all final goods and services made within the borders of a country in a year.
Sounds straightforward right? And the u.s.a. gdp was reported as 14.6 trillion for 2008.
The u.s. government reported a budget for 2008 of 2.9 trillion. That doesn't count the money robbed from the social security "lockbox" either.
Anyway, the GDP includes all government spending.
Does that make any sense?
How does robbing somebody and then spending the money realistically add to GDP?
To include the loot stolen at gunpoint from u.s. citizens, and then spent by the gun toting thugs as part of GDP is utterly ridiculous.

In reality our GDP is much lower than claimed and our debt already exceeds 100% of that. The collapse is coming.

Government employees are all parasites

Yep. Every single government employee is a parasite, a leach, a cancer which shouldn't exist, in a free society.
Every single government employee should be fired and any "work" that had economic value they did, would be done by the private sector at much lower cost and with greater benefit to "society."
The only way a government job can be created is by first robbing people in the private sector through extorted taxes and fees levied at gunpoint.
Don't agree with that? Then why are there penalties for not paying taxes which are implemented by force and the threat of force(TOF)? If it made economic sense and the benefits clearly outweighed the negatives there would be no need for force or the TOF to collect them, right? Everybody would happily pay because the pros would outweigh the cons. Clearly not the case.
I have a very low opinion of teachers who are ALL parasites and whose main purpose(although not stated) is to build up and support the state, the biggest organized crime group there has ever been.
Do I feel the same way about teachers who work in the various private schools? No. I don't really care what they teach or how well they do it as I am not forced at gunpoint to pay their salaries.
Public school teachers(propagandists) on the other hand only have jobs because the state uses force or TOF to rob me, mainly through taxes on my home.
If I don't knuckle under to their extortion they will send the local thugs with guns,(teachers tell us they are there to protect and serve. What a joke) and all their paramilitary toys to force me to vacate my home or kill me. That is freedom? Sounds like evil defined to me.
Once again, if I valued their product(propaganda, control and brainwashing) I would be more than happy to spend my money on them, wouldn't I? Nobody would have to force me or threaten me, would they?
After all MacDonalds doesn't have a gang of thugs who force me to eat a Big Mac and fries do they? Home Depot doesn't send a gang of black-suited, machine gun toting killers to force me to buy some garden tools do they?
No if they did that would be breaking up the government murder monopoly and we can't have that. Government hates competition.
There is not one single government "job" that is worth doing(maybe 25% of them) that couldn't be done more economically, more efficiently and with more freedom for all, that wouldn't be done by private businesses in the free market if ALLOWED to by the thugs who rule over us.
Government IS the problem.

Gold = Freedom

That's right, if you are against using gold and its little sister, silver, as money you are opposed to freedom. You are an advocate for armed robbery.
Gold and silver are the most honest forms of money ever discovered in the history of human civilization.
Its physical properties and relative scarcity surpass all other known elements that can be used as money.
One of the prime qualities of sound money is that it must be difficult or even impossible to counterfeit. Paper money fails miserably in that aspect. Ordinary criminals have successfully counterfeited it throughout its historical use and that is easily proven by the fact governments continuously try to modify it to make counterfeiting harder.
However when looked at logically this is like the fox guarding the hen house, as governments are the biggest counterfeiters in the world.
The proof is endless inflation which is caused solely by an increase in the money supply created by government and their partners in crime, central banks and bankers.
Gold cannot be counterfeited. It cannot be printed and when only gold is money you cannot have fractional reserve banking which is at the very heart of the global financial bust happening right now.
Fractional reserve banking is the legal scam whereby your hard earned money is multiplied through deceit and fraud into more than ten times the original amount at your expense. Sound fair?
Gold money keeps men and governments honest.
Money is(or should be) earned by hard work, investment, risk and ingenuity and not by turning on a printing press or entering some keystrokes in a computer somewhere.
Every person who works for a living should be incensed at the way paper money is created. It is evil and benefits the thugs at the top at the expense of everyone else.
If we returned to gold and silver as our only money(forget all paper unless it actually contains gold) the fraud and corruption which is so rampant would almost disappear.
Only the use of paper as money allows these swindles to continue on such a gigantic scale.
If you desire freedom look in your wallet, for there you will find the chains that bind you.
Paper and plastic are the tools used to control and enslave you. Gold will break their power and control.
Educate yourself and stand up for freedom.
Gold is freedom.

End of paper

I haven't posted in a long time. Pretty disgusted by the theft, robbery, corruption and collusion going on at the highest levels of government. Our government is nothing but organized theft. The bankers and politically connected are systematically robbing us of everything we have.
And the medium being used is #1- government itself and #2 the money system under which it steals our labor and wealth in a hundred different ways.
We work for paper and paper is intrinsically worthless. Yet we have been bamboozled and conditioned to accept worthless paper as pay and as a store of wealth. While it functions alright as payment for services it is a terrible store of wealth. History is clear on that.
Haven't you noticed how the crisis's are getting bigger and closer together and demand larger and larger amounts of created money.
The whole system is hitting the wall and the amount of debt is increasing exponentially. It can't be paid off. There isn't enough productive capacity in the world to do so. And soon even the payment on the debts will be impossible. When that happens it all comes crashing down and the only things left standing will be honest money- money that can't be printed out of thin air; Gold and Silver.
If you don't get some now you WILL regret it later and all your paper wealth will get wiped out.
Do a little research. Compare gold to all fiat money. There is an inverse relationship there which is obvious. As the paper with pretty pictures goes up in smoke gold will continue its inexorable rise.
We all know governments are corrupt, full of fraud and run by liars. Paper money is their money and their way to steal from and control you. Time to trade paper for gold and let them have all the paper they want.
The choice is yours.

Best government = no government

My "evolution" if you will, brought about by my own observations, thought and study of history, economics and philosophy have forced me to this conclusion; the best government is no government.
I consider myself a moral individual(with admitted human failings and shortcomings). I have made many mistakes, sometimes just variations of the same ones(doh!) and will undoubtedly make many more before I die. I believe real morality can only come from God unlike many of my atheist friends who believe it is a product of evolution. I am not going to debate that here.
I believe in the philosophy of "Do no harm" and try to follow the golden rule, not "He who has the gold makes the rules," but the one taught by Jesus Christ, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." That is how I try to live my life.
As such I have come to the inescapable conclusion that government isn't a "necessary" evil, it is evil. Because all government is based on force and force is immoral and evil with one exception; it is moral in self-defense.

Government, particularly the ones which rule over me; U.S. federal, florida state and county and city government all operate by force or the threat of force. Their collective purpose is to use that force or threat of force(TOF) to rob me, subjugate me and control me. No matter how you spin it, sugar coat if or obfuscate when you strip all that crap away that is the essence of it.
Force is evil and force is immoral and living under force or TOF doesn't make you free, it makes you a slave.
America is not a land of freedom and liberty it is a land of armed robbery, imprisonment, threats and murder. Every single thing government does is at gunpoint. Anytime you resist the government in it's efforts(almost always successful) to rob you it will escalate the use of force against you until you submit or die. Yet what is one of the supposed primary purposes for the existence of government? Isn't it to make you safer, protect you and your property? At least that is the b.s. I was fed in my 13 years served in the state-run indoctrination camps.
Tell me how does jailing me or killing me because I don't want to be robbed make me safer or protect my property? See the contradiction there? It is a huge one, isn't it?
Oh, you say, "Yeah but the government uses the money it robs you of to give you stuff, good stuff like roads, a wonderful court system and a huge army that murders lots of threatening, dangerous people all over the world who are a threat because the government tells you they are and should like being threatened, occupied and killed." Great argument.
Or you say, "Well the government steals your money to help people who need help because they can't help themselves and it is moral to help them."
I see. Steal from me to give to somebody else who is usually to lazy to help themselves. Why can't I just help them instead without having a gun being pointed at me and robbed. Why can't I eliminate the middleman who takes a huge cut before anything makes it to that unfortunate?
By the way ( and I am not tooting my own horn) I do give 10+% of my income to help those who are less fortunate and deserving of help without being forced, because I choose to. That way I get the benefit of giving freely and the recipient gets the benefit of receiving a gift instead of blood money and we both are happy. It is not charitable to put a gun to my head, take my property and give it to somebody else. That doesn't make you a moral person whose actions should be lauded it makes you a THIEF! And if you hire or support(vote for)any another person to steal from me even under the laws of this corrupt country(were they enforced equally) you are an accessory to armed robbery and just as accountable.
Strip away the sugar coating, the lies, the propaganda and you are just that, a THIEF!
There is a much better way to live and address needs of individuals who live and interact together without resorting to force or the TOF. The only reason you don't know or believe that is because you have been conditioned and brainwashed to think government and guns pointed at everybody is the only way.
Take the red pill. Educate yourself and start asking why. Question the things you think are necessary and peel back the layers of lies and propaganda. You don't use force in your own life to solve your problems and address your needs. Did you force somebody to date you? Marry you? Did you force Apple to make that iphone? Did you force McDonalds to sell you a Big Mac? How could it possibly be moral to go over to your neighbors house and rob him at gunpoint so you can build an army, build a road or erect a useless statue or give that property to a person to lazy to work? Do you shrink at the thought? Does that make you cringe inside? It should.
So if you wouldn't do that why is it o.k. to hire somebody else to do it? Why would it then be moral to vote for some lying scumbag to do it? Why would it be moral in a neighborhood of ten families for 6 of them to vote to rob the other 4? Does might make right? When my property, which is my life because I used my life's energy to acquire it, is taken from me by force or TOF no matter how it was done or justified, or what it is used for a crime was committed. An immoral act was done and evil was perpetrated.
The person who pointed the gun at me and the person who gave him or her the gun is just as culpable for this crime.
There is a better way. It is just that the thugs in charge, the evil scum ruling over us have tricked us. They have brainwashed us, dulled our senses and dumbed us down to the point where we, most of us don't even question what is really going on. Most of us have spent 13 long years having this forced down our throats as the best way, told we are free and virtuous and good by being a nation of thieves. What a crock!
Wake up. Think. Ask questions. Read. Look around you. The noose is tightening and the chains are getting heavier.
