You’ve got that right!
The FED was an idea of those who WANTED to be the THRID central bank of this country. They PLOTED and tried for a long time, until they were successful. Signed on Christmas Eve in fact. When CONgress itself was not in session, it was passed, without the general public being informed.
The idea that somehow this was all the GOVERNMENTS idea is bogus.
It is true that the idea of socialism and adoration of Mussolini was popular, fiat currency and its ability to steal the earnings of working people to buy votes with, was a temptation that the politicians of the day couldn’t resist. And to this day, the politicians still and won’t resist.
The CENTRAL BANK that was created, KNEW what it was doing. They WANTED this.
It took three tries, and now it is too late.
It is not a rumor. I saw the notice for comments on ZeroHedge about a week ago. They were looking for input on what metals to use. I don’t remember that nickels were mentioned, but it is reasonable to assume that is what they are going to have to devalue next.
I still find the old copper pennies in my hubby’s change, and have a good start on nickels.
It was also why Nixon had to abandon the gold standard, the War in VietNam. Now we have three wars!! Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya! With a weak economy.
Yep, silver bullion coins are VERY pretty!!!
And that Liberty Dollar was a handsome coin. Not as gorgeous as the St Gaudians, but pretty!
And the TRUST IN GOD was a definite improvement!
LOL
Actually, when they confiscated gold in the first Great Depression, they did it in steps.
First, they front ran the public and started removing gold coins from the banks.
Then they asked people to turn in their coins, and gave them ‘gold certificates’ back!!!
THEN they SIX MONTHS LATER said, no you can’t exchange your ‘gold certificates’ for gold anymore. Here have some of this, federal reserve notes instead.
THEN they almost doubled the value of gold, and the people had HALF their earnings stolen from them, at the stroke of a pen.
