My message to Gen X'ers and millenials
The political climate today is absolutely frightening. I go online and all I see is dumbed down young people calling for a socialist revolution, or ivory tower feminists telling me that I need to check my white male privilege like I really owe them something, or George Soros backed social justice warriors telling me that black lives matter but that random cop killings are perfectly justified.
Well, I've got news for you! You're all being used. The Democrat politicians, George Soros and the crony capitalists all want you to stay poor, dumbed down, fighting with each-other over nonsense and ready to riot. Pressure from above and pressure from below. That's how the controllers operate. As Rahm Emanuel once said, "Never let a good crisis go to waste". For more information, I suggest you go to Youtube and watch some videos on "The Cloward and Piven Strategy".
I'm a baby boomer and I'm actually disgusted by the fact that the people of my generation decided to bankrupt the country, destroy our economy and corrupt our morals. I never supported any of these disastrous policies, or the politicians who were making these decisions.
However, it was the responsibility of Gen X and the millennials to get educated, get organized and then stand up and demand real reform. Instead, you morons were too busy ** around on social media and ** sites while the baby boomers were burning down the country.
You morons grew up with the internet so you had free access to truthful political information that I had to acquire from books that I spent thousands of dollars collecting. The fact that today's young people support ** socialists, communists and globalists like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders tells me that, collectively, you Gen X'ers and millennials are brain dead. If you people really think that our decaying and bankrupt socialist system can ever be fixed with even more layers socialism than you have absolutely no future.
In less than two months from now we'll be having the most important presidential election of our lifetimes. Donald Trump my well be the last presidential candidate you'll ever see who will actually stand up for poor and working class people. My advice? Get informed and vote wisely. This may be your last chance..........
If gold and silver are the only forms of legal tender than that is exactly what the gold standard actually is..................
Technically that's a bi-metallic standard, which we tried for a while, and doesn't work. But what i'm trying to explain is that the paragraph in the constitution that specifies gold and silver as legal tender is describing what states may use to pay back the government. It is not in the section that describes the federal money system. To say that the section outlining limitations on states rights has one line in it that is intended to establish a gold standard is a flat out mis-reading at best. Not to mention, the founding fathers implemented a silver standard when the nation was started. We didn't have the gold standard officially until 1873.
I see what you're saying, but you're splitting hairs here. Actually, the gold standard act wasn't passed until 1900. The Coinage Act of 1873, as you say, seems to be a corrupt legislative effort by rich robber barons (who held gold) to cause a deflationary depression by legally driving down the value of silver (the common people's money). Nevertheless, America was on a strict, but informal, gold and silver standard from the early 1790"s up until 1933, excluding Lincoln's greenback years until 1873. Actually the gold standard, beginning in 1873, was a failure because it attempted to destroy the value of silver. In order for a hard money system to work fairly, and for all classes of people, than it must include silver as well as gold. BTW, I had to re-check my history to be sure I got this on right...........
I'm only splitting hairs to get to a point. What I'm getting at is that the founding fathers didn't specifically write a gold or silver standard into the constitution because, they gave the power to regulate money to the legislative branch, and it was the job of congress to implement whatever standard made the most sense for the times. I don't think they wanted to specify a gold or silver standard, because I don't think they wanted to paint themselves into a corner if one or the other became erratic in value.
