What the Hell is old idiot Ab taliking about? :rolleyes: The man was a BOOB I can’t believe he was ever President. Of Course he was an idiot, because our government has chosen to give the right to create money to the private held Federal Reserve Bank and it has worked well. Why we really only had that crash of 29. Oh and yes we did go bankrupt to the banks back in the 40’s under FDR ,but we have been doing great ever since :) :)

Well here is another IDIOT!, what a joke to think such a thought. Amazing I’d say to think that corporations and banks would profit on the misery of other people, just silly. :rolleyes: Besides the government would never let that happen.

Nope! never happen, besides this is 100 years ago, we have computers now , they could understand the system even if it were as Sherman proposed.

That we are being screwed by the Banking system.

The Federal Reserve System subtly removed the gold backing of our currency, purchased the support of "cooperative politicians," and gained control of the foreign and domestic policies of our nation. [27]

In 1928 every Federal Reserve bill carried the notation:


Quote: "REDEEMABLE IN GOLD ON DEMAND AT THE UNITED STATES TREASURY OR IN GOLD OR LAWFUL MONEY AT ANY FEDERAL RESERVE BANK."
In 1934 every Federal Reserve bill carried the notation:


Quote: "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, AND IS REDEEMABLE IN LAWFUL MONEY AT THE UNITED STATES TREASURY OR AT ANY FEDERAL RESERVE BANK."
In 2001 every Federal Reserve bill carried the notation:


Quote: "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE." [28]

The United States, and most other nations, are bankrupt. Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, Chairman of the Department of Economics at Boston University, estimates the U.S. has an unfunded liability (debt) of $72 trillion, and no way to pay it. [29] I believe the United States is poised on the edge of a financial precipice; if our leaders fail to restore a sound monetary system, our country will plunge into fiscal chaos, and we will lose our freedom. http://www.radioliberty.com/nlsept04.html






In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves.
This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard.

Considering he was assassinated on April 15 1865, and the NBA was passed in 1863. I have to wonder about your math and thread title.

Well you can try I think they will just look at you. :shock: and wonder what your talking about.

But if you can get the gold and silver I would take it and hold it and hide it, because if what I think is going to happen, happens, I think there is a real chance gold will be taken again....but its better then paper that will just lose its value and the piper is paid.

Well, you seem to not like banks, so there must be some root cause that can explain why.

I like banks, as they allow me to finance a house, and cars, and even give me a place to put my money, so I don't have to carry huge sacks of gold around in a wheelbarrow.

My life is better because of banks. 8:)

You know what Robo.
I can take my 2001 doller bills and buy gold and silver on the open market today. Does that make my 2001 dollers less valuable, more valuable of just as valuable as my silver certificates? (not counting there collector values)

[Praetorian]

Why can't you just start a thread debating Lincoln and his actions instead of being sarcastic. There really is nowhere for this thread to go now.

[Pzatchok]

I'm trying to send it someplace logical but some people are afraid of new things.







Notice the humor in that one? And I didn't need three pages of jibberish to do it.

[Vakten]

You forgot to mention that when George Washington and his men where sitting, and freezing, and starving at Valley Forge, the moneychangers sitting in the Continental Congress where drafting plans to replace Washington with a General that would surrender to Britain because the war was not "profitable" for them.

I don't know how far deep the rabbit hole goes, but there are "deffinatly" some mean spirited people in charge of the banks, and I do not trust them.

I believe fully that the civil war would have eventually been waged on this issue alone even without the slavery issue.

Poor white farmers don't die on a battlefield in defense of a rich man's slave right.

Further still, Northern soldiers didn't even know what the hell they where fighting over. At the beginning it was an issue of maintaining the Union, but it was a Union that was being centralized in Washington, and a Union that was going bankrupt. Lincoln had the bankers barking at his door, and rather then give in, the most heroic act in my opinion that Lincoln ever did was that he tried to issue Greenbacks to fund the war effort.

Unfortunatly, Lincoln's greenback effort failed as the war dragged on, and he was "forced"...please understand that I use the word "forced" to turn to the bankers for the funds to continue the war.

And the bankers loved it.

In the South however, you had Stonewall Jackson who did not desire to live should the South lose the war. He called any Northern Victory, as simply a victory for the commerce bankers. Many Southerners shared this view....so much so that MANY protections where included in the Confederate Constitution.

The first SEVEN powers delegated to the Confederate Legislature read as follows...

http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/csa/csa.htm#a7

Confederate Constitution wrote: Sec. 8. The Congress shall have power-

(I) To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises for revenue, necessary to pay the debts, provide for the common defense, and carry on the Government of the Confederate States; but no bounties shall be granted from the Treasury; nor shall any duties or taxes on importations from foreign nations be laid to promote or foster any branch of industry; and all duties, imposts, and excises shall be uniform throughout the Confederate States.

(2) To borrow money on the credit of the Confederate States.

(3) To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes; but neither this, nor any other clause contained in the Constitution, shall ever be construed to delegate the power to Congress to appropriate money for any internal improvement intended to facilitate commerce; except for the purpose of furnishing lights, beacons, and buoys, and other aids to navigation upon the coasts, and the improvement of harbors and the removing of obstructions in river navigation; in all which cases such duties shall be laid on the navigation facilitated thereby as may be necessary to pay the costs and expenses thereof.

(4) To establish uniform laws of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies, throughout the Confederate States; but no law of Congress shall discharge any debt contracted before the passage of the same.

(5) To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures.

(6) To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the Confederate States.

(7) To establish post offices and post routes; but the expenses of the Post Office Department, after the Ist day of March in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and sixty-three, shall be paid out of its own revenues.

As you can see, it reads almost exactly like our own Constitution, except that sentences where added to provide protections against Commerce. There where also other protections added, but I'm not going to post the entire Confederate Constitution here. Use the link and read it for yourself.

The Civil War was faught over this. I'm not saying it was the most important issue to the people, but to the bankers....it was a heck of alot more important then Slavery that the South be crushed.

Audited by who? The FRB was audited by two independent firms (KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers) and reviewed by the GAO, last year. Who do you want to audit the FRB?
