The golden rule: He who has the gold makes the rules. In the 1964 James Bond Movie, Goldfinger, an international financial terrorist attempts to take over the world financial system by destroying American gold reserves stored at Fort Know with a nuclear bomb - a foreboding yet imaginative plot, but very messy and not too likely to succeed. What if you came up with a lucrative plan, ....

Interesting take on the situation.
You’re saying that Ron Paul’s candidacy has caused the price of Gold to go up 40 percent in dollar terms?
Totally stupid, a conspiracy theory to rival the Truthers.
What’s in your wallet?
I am saying he is not helping the situation, and he has an obvious conflict of interest.
Moths...

Ron Paul has been promoting gold as a stable store of value and has urged a return to some form of gold standard for ages.
He and Lew Lehrman wrote "The Case for Gold" over 25 years ago.
It's no surprise that he should own gold stocks, a proxy for bullion, and I'd be more surprised if he didn't
I'm no water carrier for Ron Paul. He's as crazy as the day is long. But he's no hypocrite and I think this piece is a rather low blow.
I'd be much more concerned were Federal Reserve Board Governors revealed to own gold mines.
The recent interest rate cuts and decreasing confidence in the dollar as a store of value has driven gold prices through the roof.
Ron Paul will never be in a position to talk the price of gold up or down.
What a load of bovine excrement.
This writer is a nobody writing for a “vanity” website.
He picked this outlandish conspiracy to write about because he knows any story about Ron Paul will produce traffic.
This is how it works.

The GOP will deserve what is coming down the pike at them in 08. Get used to the political wasteland Republicans...perhaps for a couple of decades. Conservatives who support Ron Paul will remember the treatment he has received in this election and it will be a cold day in hell before they cast a vote for the party which has trashed a 20 year conservative Republicans name and reputation to get another GOP neo-conservative elected.
Start thinking in terms of “minority party” and watch how much of the leftist agenda the democrats can pass with a unified Executive and Legislative majority.
The gold standard was a valuable tool for many centuries.
It would be utterly insane to try to return to it.
Inflation or deflation is caused by the amount of money expanding at a greater or lesser rate than the amount of goods and services.
If gold “was” money, the expansion of the currency would be determined simply by how much was dug out of the ground. Not enough and we get deflation. Too much and we get inflation.
Plus, what are the chances that someone would come up with an inexpensive way to extract gold from seawater or transmute lead into gold? With today’s tech, not impossible. All of a sudden the amount of gold increases exponentially, as does inflation.
Having the world’s central banks control the amount of money has its problems, but nothing compared to the randomness of having it controlled by miners or inventors.

How much worse could deflation of the dollar be under the gold standard then it has been under the Fed?
Hahaha!
And I don’t mind calling Ron Paul a criminal for talking down the dollar.
We’ve had close to 25 years of minimal inflation, combined with general growth and prosperity.
That’s not a bad record.
By any standards the Consumer Price Index is illustrative of the stagnant wages the writer speaks of.

Could the death of Honor Blackman, last year, been a cover up?
We need a special prosecutor to get the facts on the death of Pussy Galore.
No.
Wrong Paul is the result of pulling my finger.
Yeah, Paul is pretty much a freak when it comes to this (and a lot of other) subject(s). He’d never get it done even if he were to become pres.
Since I haven’t found a single candidate who represents me, I wouldn’t mind seeing Paul elected. If the country is going to go down the tubes it should at least be entertaining to watch, and we all know that entertainment is what’s important.
Either Paul or Kucinich. Maybe a Paul/Kucinich ticket. It would be a laugh a minute.
I’m depressed now. Going to drink.
