Does anyone know of a way to buy gold / sliver coin anonymously?

So, what can we effectively and individually do about it? Involvement in a movement of some sort that the average person doesn’t understand hardly seems practical.

what would gold be worth if dollars were redeemable for gold?

There is a lot you can do about it, but first, to write and speak intelligently, you need to educate yourself.

The kitco commentaries are wonderful. Freely available at www.kitco.com.

I also recommend “The Case Against The Fed” by Murray Rothbard, and “The Creature from Jekyll Island” by Edward Griffin.

Gold is real money. Paper isn’t. Our currency is only valuable as a medium of exchange because we believe it has value. This is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people. We need to work to repeal and dismantle the patent idiocies of 1913: The sixteenth and seventeenth amendments, The Federal Reserve Act——and the progeny thereof.

Another phenomenal article here, with great historical references: http://www.kitco.com/ind/schoon/mar242008.html

Too funny. When I was buying gold twenty years ago at a shade more than $200 per ounce I had people deriding me as a loonie and a paranoid. When I was still buying it as the price approached $400 an ounce they were still laughing. Now all of it is worth more than $1,000 per ounce and I’m the one laughing.

Go to a pawnshop or coin store and pay cash. That’s how. Or go gold panning as I have done from time to time. I have easily thirty pounds of unrefined gold I’ve panned for over the years.

Unfortunately he referred to the Constitution guaranteeing us “sound money”, which it doesn’t. Just another charleton reading BS from the penumbra that emanates from the mindless prattle of the chattering class.

I’ve seen various estimates.

If memory serves, The MOGAMBO GURU http://www.dailyreckoning.com/Writers/MogamboGuru.html

estimated it would be worth over $20k an ounce. I can’t find the piece where he did the calculation.....but the archives are well worth reading for information.

sounds like gold is a good investment; does that make it an exclusively good medium for exchange?

If you'd stuck that $200 into Microsoft stock it would now be worth much more than $1000.

You got screwed buddy!

"...Today a lot of people celebrate the advent of $1000 gold..."

I celebrated near-$900 gold about in 1980. (Sold a handful of Krugerrands).

I can see why somebody who holds a lot of gold, undoubtedly like Fekete, would think this is a good idea.

Just go to a reputable coin dealer and pay cash. They don’t want to know who you are, they just want to know that your money is green.

How true.

I think another thing that floats the dollar in the U.S. is the fact that IRS will accept it at face value for tax payments. That may sound simplistic until you think about it a little.

I know what you mean. When I bought gold at $400.00 an ounce, a money manager told me that I can take my bought gold and rub it on my body to make me feel better. That was the only thing it was good for, he opined.
