Forty Years since Nixon's Great Crime

In 2004, 2005, and 2007 I posted about the Nixon ending the Gold Standard.

Tomorrow marks the 40th anniversary of Nixon ending the Gold Standard and since then, especially in the past four years our "leaders" have fully bankrupted us.

Gold in 1971 was priced at the artificial price of $35.00FRN because of the Bretton Woods System and by the end of 1971 it was priced at $44.20FRN- a 38.804% increase. Then, by the end of 1972 an ounce of gold sold for $70.30FRN a jump of just over 100% in sixteen and half (16½) months, peaked at the end of February 1975 at $185.25FRN and was down to $140.25FRN at the end of the year (appreciation to KITCO for making the graphs available). From then until the peak in 1980 until 1999 the pricing stayed relatively flat and if interested, you can see the average price from 1968 until today here (appreciation to the Gold Information Network for having the data available to all).

Now, let us recall that the peak price for gold was January 21st, 1980 at $850.00FRN and that it recently hit a "high price" of $1814.80FRN on the spot market which seems on the surface to be a new record, but it is not.

Thanks to inflation, it will take $2,328.45FRN to beat the old record, in equivalent FRN (1980 $850.00FRN = 2011 $2,328.44). This means that gold is $513.65FRN away from the record or 35.331% away and one third (1/3rd) away which seems like a lot, but even the JPMorgue thinks it very well may hit this price and pass it by the end of this year.

Many think and believe it- I know I do but unfortunately, I am not a wealthy man, nor do I have funds to allocate to it and frankly never have. My Wife and I put food on the table, pay our bills and store what we can and have done so for a number of years but never really had a lot of disposable funds. Some of this was unintended bills, others were our mistakes and will never blame others for OUR choices.

Banksters, corporations, politicians, and parasites do such- we do not. They never risk themselves, always others and the fruits of others labors is what they choose to use via corrupt legislation that become laws- which they pay for to the politicians.

Everyone knows this and most in the united States have their livelihood tied to this and they do not want it to end.

However, it cannot last as there is NO SUCH THING AS PERPETUAL MOTION.

The Republic of these United States is bankrupt and yesterday, the Iowa Straw Poll was won by Michele Bachmann by LESS one percent (1%). A woman who has always worked for government- first as an IRS Agent who put people in jail over taxes and then her husband and she collected a portion of her funds from foster kids.

The Bachmanns were licensed by the state from 1992 to 2000 to handle up to three foster children at a time; the last child arrived in 1998. They began by offering short-term care for girls with eating disorders who were treated through a program at the University of Minnesota, said George Hendrickson, the chief executive of PATH Minnesota, the private agency that handled the placements.

While Mrs. Bachmann may have envisioned herself caring for unwed mothers, as she said in 2006, Mr. Hendrickson, who worked with the couple for four years, said that to his knowledge, none were pregnant.

He said the Bachmann home was "technically considered a treatment home," which offered a higher level of reimbursement. (The current rate is $47 a day, Mr. Hendrickson said.) That designation required a higher standard of care from parents who had the educational and emotional capability to handle "serious mental health issues." Dr. Bachmann's training was an asset.

Now, realize today's $47.00FRN rate was just over $29.00FRN's (once again, using the BLS Inflation Calculator for this) in 1992 or $7830.00FRN for roughly nine months per child (scaled down to nine months for this figure for 1992). Today, that would be $12,597.31 for one kid (not counting the changes in law since then and the increase in monies via other programs for foster children). By 2000 that daily stipend was $43.68 or $11,793.60 for nine months per child. This does not take into account any ancillary business her husband GAINED by word of mouth for his therapy business because of the foster children.

Now, granted, these figures are estimation on my part but I think them valid when looking at this woman and those who tout her as a real conservative and a solution for our bankruptcy and in fact, most, as usual will not look or hear anything but soundbites.

Everyone of the GOP slate, except for one, has recently touted that the Federal Reserve needs auditing and the Thursday "debate" put on by FAUX NEWS was full of laughter due to the responses of those on stage- except for one, Ron Paul.

Across the Web, TV, Radio there are those who are and will continue to do their damndest to see him fail.

Each has a stake in his failure- whether they firmly believe he is wrong or have monied interests in the outcome, the goal is the same- the continuation of our ruin.

Ron Paul entered politics specifically because of Nixon's Great Crime and the only man who is running who has worked his entire career to see it corrected.

While still a medical resident during the 1960s, Paul was influenced by Friedrich Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom, which caused him to read many publications by Ludwig von Mises and Ayn Rand. He came to know economists Hans Sennholz and Murray Rothbard well, and credits to them his interest in the study of economics. He came to believe that what the Austrian school economists wrote was becoming true on August 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon "closed the gold window" by implementing the U.S. dollar's complete departure from the gold standard. That same day, the young physician decided to enter politics, saying later, "After that day, all money would be political money rather than money of real value. I was astounded."

It is good to see more and more have awakened and are waking up, but they need context and history.

A goodly portion in Iowa did yesterday as Ron Paul nearly came in first- missed it by nine tenths of a one point (9/10ths of 1%) and for those that think this a loss, I will point out that the IRS Agent had roughly twenty percent (20%) of her supporters either cast votes for others or not at all and squandered $35,310.00FRN on poll tickets.

If he had won first place, all of those wanting Ron Paul to fail would have touted that the poll meant nothing, but they cannot now as those very same are touting it as propelling the IRS Agent into the lead.

This was a huge win for Ron Paul, but even more so for Liberty as he has often said, it is not about him, but the ideas of Liberty and Freedom.

Ron Paul started his career forty years ago, has spent those forty years fighting against Nixon's Great Crime and the next sixteen months will be the culmination.

What do you want, those that wish to dictate how you and others live, or a man who started his his career in politics for his and others liberties?

Edwin Vieira, Jr. on the Power Elite, the Police State and Opposing the Authoritarian Trend

Edwin Vieira, Jr: The reason for gun control is to deny common Americans the ability, and thereby the right, to live in "a free State," because the Second Amendment tells us that "the security of a free State" depends upon "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms." You can't have the former without the latter. And you can't attack the latter without attacking the former.

Obviously, the "elitists" must be extremely concerned with the level of armament among average Americans, and how ill it bodes for their schemes. If they push too hard, too fast, and too openly, some hard-bitten Americans are likely to start asking their oppressors point-blank: "Is enforcing the latest bit of bureaucratic stupidity and insolence worth anyone's life?" And once the shooting starts, all bets are off. Indeed, a betting man would probably not give odds against 100 million or more angry Americans armed with 200 to 300 million firearms and who knows how much ammunition. (Especially if a sizeable part of the Armed Forces sided with the insurgents.) Thinking about that possibility must keep the "elitists" in a cold sweat at night. Of course, no rational person wants any shooting to start. And the "elitists," if they were rational, would want it less than everyone else. But how rational are they?

They are not rational at all and simply do not realize it; moreover they would never admit to understanding that they owe the debt in what a friend has summed up nicely:

"I for one look forward to the coming pandemonium- debts will be paid."

Brock says: "These out of control cops need to go or this country is going to explode"

And he is right and this is what he is writing on:



I first watched this last night and have been unable to post until now.

More information can be found at OhioCCW.org, it's forum thread, and the response from Canton PD via the Canton Repository where you can read this:

"I think it's important for citizens to understand that the behavior demonstrated on the video is wholly unacceptable, and it violates many of our rules, our regulations and standards we demand of our officers," Chief Dean McKimm said Thursday.

Chief Dean McKimm never clarifies whether Canton PD JBT Daniel Harless violated the many "rules regulations and standards" of not getting caught abusing the local citizenry or leaving him alive.

Perhaps, Canton PD just has not received the memo regarding the current ROE from Pima County SWAT and that citizen should feel lucky- especially considering starting at 08:15 into the video, JBT Daniel Harless states:

"Right now, that shit you just pulled I could blast you right in the mouth."

And then at 08:50:

"I am so close to caving in your god damn head!"

Then 09:05

"You want me to pull mine and stick it to your head!?!

At over four minutes later starting at 13:29:

I tell you what I should have done. As soon as I saw your gun I shoulda taken two steps back, pulled my Glock 40, and just put ten bullets in your ass and let you drop.

And I wouldn't of lost any sleep. Do you understand me?

And he would have been a nice witness as I executed you because you're stupid!

Yes, some would consider such lucky, but then again, many have had such cowards pull them over and know exactly what these Jack-Booted Thugs deserve- just like their political Masters who have let them loose.

WSRA posted two links that are well worth reading; the first here and the second here.

The reason I am linking to this is simple. Yesterday, I was down along the Rio and when heading back north late in the afternoon, I was listening to the local talk radio afternoon host who is a retired Army Colonel. Though I have heard his stupidity before (he sounds like a real socialist), I was startled to hear him call for the US to take Mexico and Canada and create the United States of North America. Moreover, he called for NATIONALIZING the police and called it the United States Police with the minor caveat of limited local oversight. He also called for breaking up Texas into five states and further, he called the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution nothing more than "TRADITIONS".

His publicly stated reasons is for efficiency- yes efficiency and the fact that our Founding Fathers could never have imagined the World as it is today. Things like planes, automatic weapons, nuclear bombs, telephones, the Internet... You know, things that men like Da Vinci dreamed of- and, of course, we know the Founding Fathers were a bunch of ignoramuses, unread and un-imaginative who had not the ability to think beyond their immediate desires.

If you do not think Agenda 21 and the goals of absolute control are not real just turn on some local radio- you might just be surprised too.

Forty-two years ago:

"One small step for Man..."



And today, we have had the last launch of the shuttles. The Sleeping White Dragons are going back to sleep.

Do not fear though, as Charles Bolden, Jr, the Muslim Kenyan's appointment to head NASA told Al-Jeezera this last year.



Seven years ago, we watched the successful launch and flight of Space Ship One and this is the hope of Man- private space flight. Which is what it should have been all along.

And, as Heinlein often pointed out- Man must see where the Wild Geese go.

Pima Republican Chairman voted out

Posted: Jul 15, 2011 9:33 PM

TUCSON - Members of the Pima County Republican Party have voted out their party chairman. Brian Miller came under fire, from fellow Republicans over comments he made, about a deadly SWAT team raid. Party leaders asked Miller to resign but he refused and Friday night his fellow Republicans passed a rule to force him out.

They voted on two questions. First, they to adopted a rule that let them oust party officers. Then, they voted to oust Miller.

From the comments.

Mary Jo Kopechne - a reminder.

She would have been seventy-one in one week; instead, a small, cowardly punk let her drown in his Mommy's car when she was twenty-nine and then left her body there to be found by two fishermen. In fact, he did not even report one thing to the police until after her body was discovered and the police came to him. Just remember that the fat, bloated, drunken DEAD bastard- dead these past two years, wrote and pushed so much socialist pablum that became law. Much of the downfall of the Republic can be directly attributed to him and the many filthy people in Massachusetts who re-elected his fat, drunken ass- repeatedly , even after his crime. Further, at one point many across these united States wanted him to be president and many of them are now in one or the other house of the national legislature. In fact, it was that fat, bloated killer who endorsed the Muslim Kenyan and you know what "change" that has brought us.

You may ask why bring this up and if near his grave, go piss on it, then drop your pants and then a load on it for me- thank you in advance.
