Ron Paul Explains His Plan For "Monetary Freedom" And Returning To The Gold Standard
Ron Paul lays it out: "We know what to do - we did it once after the Civil War period, we went from a paper standard back to the gold standard, and the event wasn't that dramatic. But today the big problem is that both the conservatives and liberals have an big apetite for big government for different reasons, therefore they need the Fed to tie them over and monetize the debt. So if you don't get rid of that appetite it's going to be more difficult, but the transition isn't that difficult. You have to get your house in order; you have to balance the budget, you have to not run up debt, and you have to promise not to print any more money... I would like to have a transition period and just legalize gold money, gold and silver as legal tender, and work our way back... We want to legalize the use of gold and silver as the constitution dictates, rather than punishing the people who try to do that... I am quite convinced that the system we have will not be maintained - that's what these last 4 years was all about, and that's what the turmoil in Europe is all about. The question is are they going to move toward a constitutional form of money. or are we going to go another step further into international money - instead of having an international gold standard based on the market, are we going to go toward a UN, IMF standard where they are going to control with the use of force another fiat standard. I consider that a very, very dangerous move." And precisely due to that piece of phenomenal insight which nobody else in the GOP or Democratic roster is even parsecs away from grasping, is why Paul can never be allowed to be elected, why he must be mocked and ridiculed by a co-opted ADHD media which focuses on how many mistresses some other idiotic presidential candidates has, instead of focusing on the one person who grasps the big picture: the status quo can not be held accountable to a political leader who understand not only how the system is rigged, but why it is broken to begin with and that there actually is a way out. However, to the "status quo's" chagrin, one that involves the wiping out of generations of plundered middle class wealth to keep the richest denizens of 'extremistan' ever richer.

desperate bitchezzzz. get radical fuckerz
Paul tells the truth.
Paul/Kuti '12
iwill say this about Dr. Paul:
the way i found him was in the deep early years of chimp bush, i would see this lone texas republican (i'm a lefty mostly with somne libertarian and fascist tendencies),
so i would see this texas republ;ican speak during the house open sessions on cspan after all house busines swas done and here was a guy railing aginst bush. from texas.
the only thing that bothers me about him is his absolutism.
it is attractive and repulsive at the same time
he is the MOST CONSISTNET elected official i have ever seen. look at his youtube clips from when he was new, he said verbatim the same stuff.
i respect that.
but he is an absolutist. not flexible / subtle enough for my taste os iwont supoport him... as much i do respect, count on him and support him, i wouldnt want for prez,,,shit he'd get shoit anyway.
by flexible i think you mean he doesn't flip-flop
im not sure you can be flexible and flip flop at the same time [duh all of dc? shrug..wall street, fire economy?...blah ]....there should be a point of sanity...which is what ... he is truly 1 out of 435 logically consistent. i've looked for holes, and it would be a reach for me to get into that...
By appealing to tons of bullshit about the Constitution and other patriotic crap, Congressman Ron Paul is able to seduce his brute and ignorant constituency while doing nothing at all in Congress (a clever way to make easy money). He is just part of the establishment while pretending to be a "genuine patriot." Dr. Paul is also a mediocre version of one of Leo Strauss' categories of society: the Gentlemen
The gentlemen, are lovers of honour and glory. They are the most ingratiating towards the conventions of their society – that is, the illusions of the cave. They are true believers in God, honour, and moral imperatives. They are ready and willing to embark on acts of great courage and self-sacrifice at a moment's notice.
Besides that, Americans are a bunch of stupid animals easy to manipulate and subdue. The sooner the US economy collapses the better, so these brutes will finally learn NOT to live beyond their means.
The way you use the word brute makes me think of the NY Post police blotter.

Is Wanklord going to post the exact same thing a bazillion fucking times? And his posts are always triggered by keywords.... I smell a BOT. I think being a BOT qualifies for a good zapping.
he likes collecting red down-mods. It's like cyber-troll food
fuck leo strauss, fuck neo-conservatism, fuck PNAC, fuck karl rove and fuck platonism/neoplatonism.
and fuck Aristotelian 'isness' while you are at it too - Slick Willie only recent pol to understand that Korszibskian notion
If you want to learn more about Ron Paul's position on parallel use of gold and silver as currency, have a look at his HR 1098 bill. Contact your Congressman and ask him to co-sponsor/support it.
You go Ron! I hope whoever becomes the POTUS, chooses you to be Treasury Secretary so you can use your real talent!
ron paul is right about so much more than the monetary system (and, to my mind, far less controversially). he wants to end the endless wars against islamic countries, stop supporting israel's persecution of the palestinians (absolutely counterproductive to the u.s.'s strategic interests and any humane tendencies), end the war on drugs (possibly the worst misuse of police power in history), restore civil liberties, stop the bank bailouts and increase transparency. you think a secretary of the treasury can do this or any of it? whose secretary of the treasury? gingrich? romney? obama? not a chance in hell. i too think he would be killed if he came close to the levers of power but if he's game so am i.
Bill Still, anyone? Secret Of Oz? Gold-Money is manipulated as easily by the Elite as fiat?
What say yee? No four letter words, please. real arguments. I am all ears.
You mean Bill Still the Fiat Shill, who HATES the very idea of free-market money, or the separation of money-issuing authority from the State? The Bill Still who demands that fiat money continue to be issued by governments, with only some minor and inconsequential tweaking of the system to make it look "reformed"? That Bill Still?
Yes, that Bill Still - his movie shows that banksters created boom and bust cycles many times before using precisely gold, which they can hord just as easily as they control fiat today via the Fed - ...
if Bill Still's arguments are wrong, and or his history lessons false, do you know how...?
and how does the common man secure himself againts banksters hording all gold and then first dumping prices then buying up the rest and then pumping it again .... ?
is there any financial fairness for the people - except by controlling small elected bodies in small regions and states and removing powers from the Federal Government... - Ellen Brown suggest State Banks issuing money like they do in North Dakota.... what say you to that idea???
Unlike Newt or Mitt, Ron Paul can keep his ideas on the same track.
Flip and Flop; Newt and Mitt
http://www.dailypaul.com/189449/flip-and-flop-newt-and-mitt
Bill Still has a point, thats why he is running for president in 2012 if you didnt know!
Its really about WHO controls the quantity of money.
Gold does not address the WHO, but the WHAT.
Gold is distributed unfairly to begin with (banks have most of it).
Humanity will have to face this problem always and always again, until there is a solution:
How can we have a small government that fears the people and therefore serves them with utmost respect?
That is patently untrue --- world central banks hold less than 20% of the outstanding gold supply, and even throwing in the bullion banks only raises that figure slightly. MOST of the world's gold is in private hands.
Please stop peddling this lie, one of many in the dishonest, malicious pro-fiat campaign of Bill Still the Fiat Shill.
I will research that.
In the Meantime RP 2012
Ellen Brown is a fucking idiot.
One of her articles champions the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, "on who's credit was financed Australia's involvement in the First World War". The First World War destroyed the lives of tens of thousands & bankrupted the nation, we're still paying for it.
Bill Still the Fiat Shill and Ellen Brown the Money Clown are both rabid, dyed-in-the-wool statists, and in regards to honest monetary reform are nothing but disingenuous wolves in sheeps' (pun intended) clothing. Their grasp of monetary history is radically weak to nonexistent, or else they purposely spread half-truths and lies, particularly in regard to gold, to further their pro-fiat, pro-statist monetary campaigns. Beware these two!
I gave you +1 for being spot on with your assessment of Bill 'Shill' and Ellen Brown. They are indeed both disingenuous keynesian statists ... or worse.
But they are actually wolves in sheep's clothing ... not sheeps' (whether pun or no pun intended).
Just thought I'd help you to learn English punctuation, so that you may better help others ... as you are often wont. ;)
No need to thank me. Just keep up the good work!
;-) You devil!
Actually, "sheeps' " seemed proper to me, as I interpret the phrase to refer to plural sheep, not a single sheep. "Sheep's" would refer to the clothing of a single sheep, would it not? But then again, there is no separate plural of the word "sheep" (i.e., "sheeps"), so I am not certain if your way or mine is technically more "correct".
Each of them is a wolf in sheep's clothing, while together they are wolves in sheeps' clothing. I agree with your plurality observation.
There is no such thing as a sheeps, or many sheeps ... so you can't tack the possessive apostrophe onto the end.
Here's a citation for my usage: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/wolves+in+sheep's+clothing
Do you have a citation for your unusual dialect?
Clearly, you have never met the American public, nor most Congressmen.
Touché. :)
The gold manipulation that you speak of requries the manipulators to actually have the gold first. This slows them down. They DON'T like that. Nor can they create it out of thin air. They also DON'T like that. Oh and talk to the State of New York about whether they are sound purveyors of money, handing out development 'GRANTS' to business from the State is legal now.
http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20111121/SMALLBIZ/111129980
1. Let people trade with whatever they want. Gold, bitcoin, Bob's Joule Tokens, whatever.
2. Stop pretending it's moral to allow one class of person to legally steal from the rest.
bravo! end neoliberalism.
Bravo! end jingoism!
If you look at wikipedia's definition of neoliberalism, one of its key features is market-based interest rates.
This implies free-market money... which doesn't exist anywhere now, to my knowledge, and hasn't for a long time.
Ergo - we have not been living under neo-liberalism... at least, if we agree wiki's definition is correct.
This is the problem with labels like conservative, liberal, libertarian, neo-liberal - their meaning shifts with time, and the movements get intentionally co-opted by scum like Newt Gingrich.
If a democratically elected STATE government - under campaign finance reform with no corporate and no hidden contributions - controls the money velocity for the state (as North Dakota does) - and if at the same time STATE law prohibits said state gevernment from spending money it doesn't have - could we the people then all benefit from having such a state control of money velocity COMBINED with and competing with privately minted gold and silver coins...???
I look forward to your POVs. Thanks.
As long as there is competing money, ie Gold and silver for people to save with, almost any fiat is fine. Even our current problems with the US dollar would never have got this far if people had known to save gold and spend fiat. The system has worked ( ish ), because people believed in it. Once they don't, it's game over.
Like a lot of things, most of the problems stem from pig ignorance. I had 16 years of quality education, including a physics degree from Australias best Uni, not once in that time did any teacher mention what money was, the downsides to inflation, the definition of fiat, debts role in the economy or how fractional reserve banking works. Did find myself compulsively buying shit i did not need, to impress people I did not even like though.
I'm beginning to think that was not a fucking coincidence.
I've often wondered that myself.... I think it's pretty clear it is no accident.
Here's some state controlled money in New York being handed out to business as Grants, i'm sure that will make for a fine and balanced money system.
http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20111121/SMALLBIZ/111129980
"In this case, that means providing state grants and loans to private companies like IBM Corp. and Global Foundries Inc. for economic development."
Oh and New York had the money they spent. Having two competing monetary systems at once to have competition keep things in check is a pipe dream.
.
the feds won't even let the states control their own hemp laws, or have local organic food co-op's.. Do you really believe they will allow capital to get siphoned into states that would propose competing local currency to the FED's FRN's??
It might happen short-term, but eventually some federal court ruling is going to ham-string the states into using only FRN's, which will pave the way for a daxton brown event.
Eureka, you do realize there are fundamental differences between N. Dakota and Massachusetts, correct? How about N. Dakota and Washington DC, etc. The reasons that a state bank might work in a place like North Dakota show why it would not work under Chicago control, capice? Bill Still, Ellen Brown and their assclown attack poodle Denninger need to tell us all why they hate freedom so much.

Zeitgeist vs Ron Paul
Eureka, you wrote: "Gold-Money is manipulated as easily by the Elite as fiat?"
That would be true if there is a fixed exchange rate (fixed by government). But if the market is allowed to set the price of gold (and silver), as Ron Paul recommends, it will not be so easily manipulated via inflation and deflation.
Those who are actively side-lining him now, and who have watered down the scope of his financial oversight committee, will never let him anywhere near the Treasury!!
He has many friends on the conservative right (he is a former member of the John Birch Society, and is well connected in the CNP), but none of them are supporting him ... they are all supporting luciferian bozos like Gingrich (33° Mason) and Romney (Mormon), for a reason.
The whole first world lives beyond its means. Yeah, America is flush in shit, but s is Europe. So is Japan. Cheap oil equals this.
I don't know what your rant has to do with Paul. You do seem to write the same thing everytime, and I don't think you understand Paul.
We are all men here. If you don't like Paul, fine, don't vote for him.
Ron Paul won't be elected because the Lame Ass Stream Media (with all of their cable, network, newspaper and radio channels owned by 6 corporations), both deeply captured (by kleptocratic, Crony Corporatists - NOT free market capitalists; important distinction there) political parties, and a fractional reserve banking cartel (international in composition and hell bent on wiping out the notion of sovereignty, using fiat and the intentionally induced boom-bust cycles to help do so) will all do whatever it takes to sabotage him.
Hell, the Main Stream Media has already decided all on their own, being the objective reporters that they are (/snark), that they not only will sabotage Ron Paul, but that they will barely acknowledge his existence, portraying him as the 'fringe,' even when he consistently comes in first in GOP straw poll after GOP straw poll. What a great medai we have, no? I had always thought it was their job to convey facts, rather than tow the agenda of the elite.
Decades from now, more people will look back at this period and daydream about how much greater, freer and honest their governments, lives and economic and social lives would have been if only "we had listened to Ron Paul instead of the globalist kleptocrats."
interesting times bring interesting results. the dissonance of the msm treatment of paul combined with any success of his (which, should the economy/equity markets go further south becomes more likely) is sure to attract attention, comment, support and, perhaps, some larger inkling about the msm, etc.
the msm didn't understand rock and roll at the time and it did ok.
The MSM back then was in diverse ownership and r'n'r got plenty of coverage. Now, the MSM is in just a few hands that are totally in step with the oligarchy.
Paul is popular in Repub exit polls because political activists know about him - but when it comes to primaries and the full media campaigns, the public will never get to hear about him.
Going against the grain can be cool. It may just be cool to root for the underdog candidate.
I would bark for him if I thought that federal politics would make any difference at all to the course of DC's subjugation of the whole country. It is directed from outside the country and will not change ... it must be dismantled completely, not supported by voting.
This is why I would vote for him. He would put a wrench in the Fascist System.
I think you're deluded, but good luck with the "hoping for a change" thing. However, you may want to chat with a few liberals and see how their messiah worked out for them, before putting more eggs in that basket.
Regardless as to whether you or he is 'correct,' whatever that means, I would vote for Ron Paul, also, only because I refuse to comply by a construct whereby I am forced to only vote for people who are pre-deemed "electable" by the MSM/Political Pundit/Lobbyists (*working to spread the Crony Capitalists-Kleptocrats agenda).
Besides, if real progress is ever to be made, to reverse the decay, it will come when enough people like us, thinking as I do in this regard, decide to do the same.
At that point, they'd have to rig and/or cancel elections, in order to thwart what they perceive as threats to to their grip on power.
And then we reach critical mass, and as far as I am concerned, the sooner we get to that point, the sooner we find out whether this republic still has enough people cherishing something so fundamental to the human condition that it is truly essential and priceless, and are therefore willing to rise to Patrick Henry's ultimatum.
Give Me Liberty Or Give Me DeathKind of like Pascal's wager I suppose. Better to believe in good than nothing since by winning you gain everything.
If/When the msm does start to get behind Dr.Paul, I would start to worry whether he has been bought. I've often been told that editorial control is absolute in the US mainstream media - they report whatever they are told to report by the advertisers/owners/financiers/backers, and contrarian views to editorial content is impossible. Even innocuous Jamie Oliver was whining about it after coming home from his failure to give kids decent meals in the 'States. It really would be amazing to have Dr.Paul in the oval office, but probably the only way he will get there will be by being bought in this filthy game of politics, and if tptb can't buy him, they'll have no compunctions about dealing with him the old fashioned way. Depressing.
i-dog, you certainly won my vote for the funniest response of the day. Had to wipe the tears from my eyes.
That was a good one sleep dog...Cheers
...I think you're deluded, but good luck with the "hoping for a change" thing. However, you may want to chat with a few liberals and see how their messiah worked out for them, before putting more eggs in that basket.
Obama spouted a lot of collectivist twaddle, and the collectivists voted for him. And he delivered. Did the collectivists get everything they wanted? No... but Obama promised to expand government power, and he kept his promise.
Ron Paul has consistently tried to reign back the power of government over a period of decades. Comparing him to Obama is facile, to put it politely.
The "rebel" image worked for Apple.
TV has always been shit and it was invented for brainwashing morons and control. It has always been owned by those in control and still is.
Go watch your Star Trek reruns. If you watch it - you support your serfdom.
This gets thumbed down on Zero Hedge? What the fuck has happened to ZH? The man is stating an obvious truth.
Pod People are over running ZH.
I didn't thumb down, but I do like science fiction. Great books become OK movies. Think animal farm, 1984, 2001.
Ok some great books become steaming piles of shit. Think Hitchhikers guide.
But the Matrix was fucking awesome, so fuck you if you don't like it. Plus Jericho was cool.
It's the adds that really fry your brain. I have not watched tv for years ( i download everything i like, yes I steal, and yes, if I could download a car, I fucking would), and evertime I go to a freinds place, its the advertsing which makes me want to kill myself.
Hear ya, science fiction movies can be a great escape from the mess that is this world.
You and I, fnord88, we are of a kind. 1TB drives are cheap, a 12Mbps pipe is cheap, and the Pirate Bay has been in the same place for the better part of the last eight friggin' years.
The content can be purile, sure, but there are diamonds in the rough, like the works of Roddenberry and Henson and Groening. Nobody can deny that these people are artists, or that they create (or have created) art.
BUT THE FUCKING ADVERTISEMENTS! I didn't start having strong negative reactions to ads until I went strictly torrent-only and cable-free. It seriously is like nails on the chalkboard to me now. I have come to realize that NFL games have, on balance, more advertisements (mostly for trucks and credit cards, that should tell you something) than actual football.
Advertisements really, really, really do rot your brain and give you a warped view of society. Shutting them out of your life is one of the best first steps you can take on the path towards true personal freedom.
Glad to know there are others out there like me, thanks fnord88 :)
No, TV was not invented FOR Brainwashing morons...
It was HIJACKED once it was found convenient for one-way-communication.
TPTB cant invent anything, they can only use what we people invent.
Many different people have contributed to the invention and uprise of the internet.
Thats why TPTB hate the internet, they didnt plan for it, and they dont see a way to hijack it, haha!
Internet is a two-way-communication, here we can all talk back and give feedback and call bullshit when we see it, etc...
"Ron Paul won't be elected because the Lame Ass Stream Media (with all of their cable, network, newspaper and radio channels owned by 6 corporations), both deeply captured (by kleptocratic, Crony Corporatists"
totally agree!!
How will MSM spin a failed Black Friday? We know they will, but how?
http://investmentwatchblog.com/how-will-msm-spin-a-failed-black-friday-we-know-they-will-but-how/
Right, expect when you resort to ad hominem attacks on others, which allows you the convenience of not actually having to research and comprehend the subject matter. (peak earl, alCIAda, global warming etc.)
"while doing nothing at all in Congress (a clever way to make easy money)."
Wanker,
Congressman Paul is in Congress because the people of his district elected him to go there there and represent their interests. Given how long he has been there, reelected time after time, I would say his real bosses like what he is doing thus far.
If that does not sit right with you, then pound sand.
I wish we had a shitload more of Congressweasels who similarly "did nothing".
Since when is increasing the power of the federal government a sign of a "successful" representative, anyway?
Besides that, Americans are a bunch of stupid animals easy to manipulate and subdue. The sooner the US economy collapses the better, so these brutes will finally learn NOT to live beyond their means.
I disagree with that. But even if your wish comes true, then what?
I yet to see anybody proposes anything workable for USA or the world for that matter. People either want other people money and new nomenklatura
(Marxists) or the place where there are no rules (anarchists). But both approaches NEVER WORKED IN REALITY. Where is that genius which solves the ultimate problem: how organize animals called humans in the society which would work. I see no answer to this question or at least better answer than the world we live in. What I do know is that president Obama can be reelected. And if this happens, we can easily end up with civil war and total collapse. While it may appeal to some (see quote above), believe me, you do not want to live through this
and have total disaster on the other side of the arc. For pure pragmatic reasons I believe that number one priority should be Obama defeat in the coming elections and who will be next president while, of course, matters but of secondary importance...
TV ccontrols the reatrds in America. If you watch then you enable your overlords. You viewership keps you and the rest of serfs.
Put down the bowl of Anger O's cereal and pick up a book on relaxation.
^^^ +100%
"doing nothing at all in Congress..." Hopefully you jest Dr.Paul has tried reform many times over the course of his career. What can one lone man do? Maybe if he was a lefty dictator he could "get more done"?
When I listen to Ron Paul talk about or around social issues (which is rarely) I hear a "Leave It Beaver" tape running that makes me think this guy is firmly stuck in the 1950s.
When he's forced to open his mouth for real and speak to these issues as a serious candidate, he'll be laughed off the presidential stage.
He's got no chance.
When I listen to Ron Paul, I hear the only politician saying that the federal government is going in the wrong direction. He is the only candidate that wants a smaller government. Liberty, personal freedom, and limited government is his message to America.
You're right...in today's insane America, he's got no chance.
No shit, fool. If there were honest money and no credit, it would be impossible to live beyond means.
Making money? Crawl back in your hole fed-wanker.
Congressman Ron Paul has returned $141,580 of unspent office funds to the US Treasury!

wanklord I just logged in to say you are a PUD
wanklord,
Thus far 9 to 141 in your disfavor. You're gonna have some serious karma issues my friend.
bring back the gold standard? LOL...won't matter. Won't fking matter a bit.
Can't print oil. Gold can't make more oil come out either. It's a futile discussion by futile people. Ron Paul doesn't fucking "GET IT" or else he'd be saying what I'm saying.
He'd be saying look, you motherfuckin dumb bitches, if you don't want shit to STOP, the lights to fucking go out, it's time to start FACING REALITY and start planning for what kind of a society is feasible going forward with the resource supply rates we can expect. No more cornucopian bullshit, no more rose colored glasses. Fucking REALITY.
And in the context of that discussion, we will have to collectively decide as a society whether it is WORTH IT to us to have an artificial black middle class, to have intergenerational transfer payments, to have handicap spaces out the yinyang and to modify entire 100-year old subway systems to accommodate the occasional wheelchair, whether vast war machines are beneficial, whether the police state we've erected serves us at all, how much power we expect to use, if having every idiot kid "go to college" to waste 4 years studying drunkenness and promiscuity is good societal policy.
See, in some nations, particularly places like Iceland, they are able to have these adult conversations. During the collapse, their PM spelled it out, blazing truth at them with both barrels. The situation is DIRE, the PM said, but we will pull through; and they did and have.
But we steadfastly REFUSE here, as does much of Europe and the UK, to even begin to question whether the silly shit we believe holds any water whatsoever, whether the windmills we've tilted at for 30 or 40 or 70 fucking years are even REAL or not. We could have been on Mars, we possibly could have had gasoline fuel cells, and a variety of other things...instead we got ALL the stuff I described above, plus vast suburban sprawl, granite countertopped McMansions, and effectively 20 or more years of entirely SUNK COSTS.
So yeah, RP rah rah, wtfever. Until I hear him speak the Truth That Shall Not Be Spoken, I really can't get enthusiastic about him. Reality has its own agenda, and Mother Nature always bats last. She has vicious opposite field power and total plate coverage. She makes Steroid Bonds look like your average Tball player.
Jack the price of gold up and maybe OPEC will trade oil for gold, or at least buy debt if it is paid in gold.
I think Trav means that we are hitting up against resource constraints and that gold-money won't change that, so its moot.
That said, if all hell is going to break loose and we are going back to a 4B population from where we are now, I would like to do it on a gold standard.
I haven't even begun to digest the monetary implications of a rapidly shrinking world population in terms of my ass getting old. But that will take time ... monetary collapse is imminent and will happen first.
