Most people in the U.S. want to go back to when the "times were good", not realizing that the "good times" they remember were nothing but an illusion created by the Federal Reserve's artificially low interest rates. The wealth created in the U.S. during the past decade was phony and all Americans will soon pay for it by suffering through massive price inflation.
Today there are huge reserves of dollars sitting at our nation's largest banks collecting interest. When price inflation in the U.S. reaches a level that is higher than the interest this money collects, the banks hoarding these dollars will be forced to lend this money and seek a higher return. As this money gets lent out, we will see an increase in the multiplier effect where each dollar could transform into ten dollars or more.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke believes that by printing money he can generate prosperity, when in fact, prosperity can only be achieved by the production of goods that we can export to the rest of the world. Printing money transfers wealth from the middle class to the rich while taking away our freedoms. Inflation has occurred after every major crisis in U.S. and it has always led to bigger government, more regulations and greater centralization. In Germany, hyperinflation led to the rise of Hitler.
The U.S. already saw one instance of hyperinflation beginning in 1775 when the Continental Congress issued a paper currency called the continental which eventually became worthless. This is why the U.S. Constitution said only gold and silver were to be used as legal tender, because they saw what happened in the past and anticipated what would happen in the future with another fiat currency. Debased currencies always fail over the long-run because the government isn't smart enough to know how to manage money better than the free market.
Gold was chosen as real money by the free market, not the government. Gold is the best gauge of the strength of the U.S. dollar. With gold prices approaching a new all time high, we are seeing that the world has no confidence in the U.S. dollar. The only way we can ever go back to having a strong economy, peace and prosperity is by returning to sound money that is backed by gold and silver. A sound currency would force our government to live within its means. Without sound money, our country may not survive when the artificial high we are feeling right now begins to wear off. The entire system could come to a complete halt.
The Federal Reserve has given Congress the power to spend endlessly with no limit by printing the money needed to fund unnecessary wars, bailouts and stimulus plans that steal from the savings of all Americans. Politicians today are working with the Federal Reserve to dilute the value of our money. Since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, $0.95 of every $1 saved by Americans has been stolen. Some might consider this dilution of our savings to be a crime, yet there is still no widespread outrage about it.
Think about the millions of lives that have been lost in Iraq for a war that wouldn't of been possible if it wasn't for the Federal Reserve inflating our currency. Without a printing press, diplomatic solutions would be used to prevent war. Wars do not help an economy, they destroy wealth. They are also used to distract from economic problems.
The U.S. government created all of the problems it is now trying to solve. It is the government's reckless policies that have forced Americans to become dependent on government entitlement programs. The solution to our current problems is to allow the free market to work for itself, but unfortunately George Bush ruined the name of the free market and today the blame for all of our problems is being placed on the shortcomings of free-market capitalism.
We have not had a free market in the U.S. for decades. If we had a free market, banks would be allowed to fail. If banks knew they wouldn't get bailed out, they wouldn't take unnecessary risks and would compete against each other in order to preserve wealth. Manipulating the supply of money and interest rates creates the opposite of a free market system, so the free market in no way can be blamed for the mess our country is in.
It is impossible for central banks and politicians to know what the proper interest rate should be. The Federal Reserve's attempts to micromanage our economy postpones inevitable consequences while making them much worse. By allowing large corporations to privatize profits and socialize losses, they have delayed the pain and suffering that must occur in order to rebalance the economy. The latest false signals being sent by the Federal Reserve of an economic recovery are only building the imbalances in our economy to a breaking point of total collapse.
Until the Federal Reserve no longer has the power to inject trillions of dollars into economies around the globe without revealing who benefits, a short-term mindset over long-term outlook will reign supreme in the U.S. with Americans enslaved to their huge credit card debt, student loans, automobile loans and mortgages.
oh gee look at that, some neo-cons are starting to say the same shit 'conspiracy theorists' have been talking about for over 40 years now. well what do you know...
stop fucking pretending to act like you give a shit about the currency we were supposed to constitutionally have and go back to being an ignorant douche, that article is way over your head.

Lol, what you have said for a long time. Looks like Obama will quickly pay that tremendous debt he created with worthless bucks. Genius!
Guess my savings are in my gold molars.

Ahahahaaa I was thinking the same shit.
The financial market meltdown was the right opportunity. They should have let the system fail, go through a massive depression, and start over.

Sorry, I'm not going to pray to Hezbollah like you do and shove my head up my ass like you do on a minute to minute basis.
You know what, maybe Mousavi was a puppet of Ahmadinejad, but the point was what he campaigned on was that of peace and the fact that he condemned Ahmadinejads statements, if they didn't happen Mousavi would not have been as popular as he was. Obviously the people believed in his presumably peaceful stance. If his platform was phony, his supporters were not. So stick it
Mossadeq was the Prime Minister. The ruling monarch was Mohammad Reza Palavi, he was the one overthrown by Khomeni in 79 IIRC. He remained in power after the coup-d'tat in 1953. So take your spin doctor yarns and look at BOTH sides. Irans current leadership is an expert at double speak and buying time to make their plots. more than 90% of all the fighting in Iran/Israel has been OFFENSIVE from the part of Iran. Who constantly launch Kassam Rockets into homes near the borders? Oh yea, it's the Iranian morons that want to "wipe the occupiers" off the map.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The article listed here describes Ahmaddinjads position on "the occupying force" being "wiped off the map" Who is (in their eyes) the "occupying force"? Is it Iran? No, is it the UK? No. Is it the US? No, not in Iran anyway. It's ISRAEL you dumb shit. So Ahmadinejad may not have literally said "Israel" you know who the fuck he meant.
Mir-Hossein Mousavi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If Ahmadinejad wasn't a holocaust denier, then why did his opponent call him on it? Let me guess, it was US? You're a fucking anti-semetic racist you pile of shit. The Iranian people wanted Ahmadinejad out! We'll never know if Mir Hossein Mousavi really won the election because Ahmadinejad was in control of the election. He who counts the vote has the control, not the one who casts the ballot. YOU'RE PATHETICALLY blinded by who knows what.
Just for arguments sake, if all this shit you're spouting is wrong, then answer these questions:
Why did Mir Hossein Mousavi condemn Ahmadinejads position on the Holocaust?
Why did Ahmadinejad censor ANY news agency reporting the events after the elections when unknown thousands protested the outcome?
Why have cell groups like Hezbollah, the Mujahadeen, the PLO, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, ALL have extensive ties to the current "government" in Iran?
Why was Mousavi so popular yet only got "32%" of the vote?
Wake up and smell the burning flesh. The Iranian people are NOT this entire nation of radicals and assfucks. For the most part, there's a significant percentage of Iranians that are tired of all the fighting. I have a neighbor who owns a food mfg company locally and he speaks fluent Arabic, he lived in Iran for 28 years. He watches Al_Jazeera on a regular basis, I asked him about Ahmadinejad, and his exact words "He's a modern day Hitler, and the west doesn't even realize it" It's eery how he described the one of your post very well. WAKE THE FUCK UP!
I'll repost this response, I showed the opposing party to Ahmadinejad was very popular on his stance in opposition to the incumbent. I never claimed that Mousavi was a saint just the people that didn't want Ahmadinejad in, wanted him out for a reason. Just like so many people here in the US wanted ANYONE other than Bush or anything like him in the WH. Obama most certainly wasn't an improvement.
I'll get to that post, I'm only able to post short responses atm. Busy work week and texting a new girl :P
Can we discuss this without the racist remarks please? I have nothing against Jews, in fact several family members on my fathers side died from horrible experiments done by Josef Mengele. I do however have a problem with Israel for many solid reasons. Disagree with them after you hear them I don't care, but I can't stand when people resort to calling me an anti-semite. I get it all the time whenever this topic comes up when I never say anything negative about jews, and it's the exact same as when people call me racist for criticizing Obama's regime.
When you can admit that Ahmadinejad has supports the blatant killing off of Jews. I'll stop calling you an anti-semetic racist. The people that supported Mousavi were wanting a change just like the Obama voter. Both Obama and Mousavi (as it appears) were lying phux. Ahmadinejad is a lying phucktew

No because Ron Paul was too much of a whiner to be taken seriously. He had some really good ideas, he had some really stupid ones too. He complained far too much and his base of followers were a bunch of tin hat pinheads. Ron Paul isn't ready for POTUS. Maybe somewhere down the line, but now? No. The only person at least right now that I would actively vote for if he were to run, would be John Boehner.
