Even though Ronald Reagan was far from perfect, he was a heck of lot better than the Bushes. No. the movement is not perfect, but it's the best thing we've got right now.People are behind Ron Paul and not everyone will think exactly the same.But, he does unite people in a way that others can't and he has become THE MAN to follow. He can be counted on to listen to what people have to say and consider other views.He is a humble man. People are realizing that Reagan was controlled.
ok just to let a few people know that the federal reserve IS NOT A GOVERNMEMT RUN corporation! It is however a group of privately owned bankers that have loaned money to our government with intrest, The money will never get paid back by the government,its the taxpayers who have to flip the bill. NOT ONLY THE FEDERAL RESERVE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BUT THE GOVERNMENT AS WELL !!! WHATS WITH ALL THE PORK SPENDING GOING ON AND WHAT ARE THE NAMES OF THE POLITICANS DOING IT?????
Auditing the Fed is useless. They are a professional corporation and they are going to have good, old fashioned cooking going on in those books. Create real world alternatives to central banking. Create the world you want to live in and don't constantly look to the government to solve your problems

It's obvious that as of Jan '09 (what a coincidence - lol), the movement has been taken over by the SAME OLD MAINSTREAM dumb it down Reagan conservatives / "R". I will NOT support ANY movement that has ANYTHING to do with Reagan.

Why should people who are looking to reinstill liberty into this country join or rejoin the facade we call the republican party, who's presidential candidates have been and still are being bought and paid for by the corporate interest. Wake up and realize the republicans and democrats only want to mantain their own personal status. Republicans traditionally have been opposed to big government, not any more.

CathyValaz has a good point. If all the third-party, independent voters joined the Repukelican party, we would have an opportunity to spread our message of liberty significantly. I think most Americans- at least GOP supporters- once they've heard the truth from passionate patriots (like ourselves) would find it logically compelling.
WRONG THINKING Citizens need to infiltrate the GOP on a PC level. That is how Pres. candidates get picked. If all third parties would switch to GOP, become PC's and take OVER the Rep. party it would be a slam dunk..Ron Paul's folks were so on the money. You just don't understand how effective this is until you go become a pc and see it in action. I did, and I totally am influencing many. We just need more to do it. It was such an easy process I'm embaras. it was't thought of b4
Basing our currency on gold would not bar an international currency exchange market from dictating the value of currency independently. Similar to what presently exists. On a global gold standard, each international transaction is based on gold and the individual currency exchanged is representative of that gold amount
Didn't obama campaign against the patriot act? Once again, Change = more of the same, but this time with all the idiots on the left thinking everything is ok because we got a (D) in the white house.
Not as silly as attaching value to a standard that contains an endless ability to be inflated for purely political reasons while those who have that have the least must suffer to aid those who have the most. Gold is an equalizer, abet a very old one, but it cannot be inflated or manipulated.
If we could built a fiat system that sheds gold's disadvantages, yet keeps its real value- I'd be all for it.
Sure it is a theoretical possibility, but a political impossibility. Any system not locked to something of immutable value will eventually be distorted by political convenience.
Sure if we passed a balanced budget amendment, locked a rate of monetary
expansion, and completely divorced monetary decisions from politicians, a fiat system would work well.
You make the currency full reserve digital currency. When first created you have people trade in 5 dollars for every 1 new digital dollar, this gives a stronger currency to begin with, 2nd the government can only borrow certain amount of money upon which the system will refuse to lend money to the government. the system is also tax locked, it will never go higher than 10% flat tax. lending interest rates are programmed in, and can not be changed manually either.
i fail to see how this is any different than the existing fiat Fed system. all you're doing is saving trees and ink. if it's possible to abuse the value of the money, it will be. you can't abuse hard currencies because everybody has to expend the same effort to do so (i.e. mining gold and silver).
Gold isn't manipulated, It has a finite real value that is immutable. The price of gold fluctuates dependent of the currency it is based against. For example, look at the price per barrel of oil in euros versus dollars in 2008. Commodities are physical, the only way you can deflate the true value is by using them up and the only way you can inflate the true value is by acquiring more.
With paper money, there is no limit to the inflation, nor attachment to something real. It's magic paper
We should all just call him the Speaker of the House because the Republicans will pick him in 2010 when they take over congress and give the boot to Pelosi.
I wonder if Ron Paul and everyone at the summit have seen the video depicting the police action against the peaceful demonstrators(?); search: "The G20 protest - military action, police use ...." and see for yourself. It's the most appalling thing I've ever witnessed in my life, just about. This is not America. It can't be.
lol, "peaceful" demonstrators. I'm usually (99%) on the side of protestors whenever there's an issue with police, but these anarchists plotted to fuck up private businesses just for being in the same city as them, and they were not peaceful.
Fact of the matter is, the "anarchist" aspect of the crowd that YOU're referring to, was not but a small percentage of the protesters! The "non-peacefuls" were most likely 'planted' as well! You go ahead and believe what the media wants you to believe, I've seen the TRUTH in the video I just described and many other videos now...
What's with the slur on Anarchist? I've never met an aggressive anarchist in my life. I've known that all governments are evil aggressive entities that force their will on others but never an aggressive anarchist. The fact is all the Anarchist I've ever met have been the most charitable, peace loving, anti war, anti prejudice people I've ever met. The statists' on the other hand are pure evil and the fact that they use what they call democracy to force their will upon me, doesn't make it right.
Frostyuk2007- my 1st introduction to what an "anarchist" is (came when I was a young teen (35 years ago?) Anarchy, to me, is violent revolt (as opposed to peaceful demonstration). Ever heard of "The Anarchist Cookbook"? In it, you'll find all sorts "gems"., like how to make a car bomb, 1001 diff.ways to poison someone, etc. Perhaps today, the term is used more loosely,. The "self-declared" anarchists at this particular rally dressed all in black and wielded signs spouting "ANARCHY".
I think the damage would have been worse if there had not been such a police presence. They were ready for the troublemakers and arrested the; probably outside: agitators a.s.a.p..
What a massive MSM coverage of these few violent prone protesters being arrested versus the almost whole MSM blackout of the 1.5 to 2 million really peaceful protesters in W.D.C. last weekend.
Notice how the "news" media always concentrates on & exaggerates violent behavior and ignores the peaceful persons present..
Lastly, let me respond to you velvet, the "troublemakers" werent the protesters. They who caused the trouble, in order to give them a reason to bring in police "militia" were 'staged' actors (put there by oikuce.nukutart)! They get these "stooges" to cause the trouble, so that they can make excuse to sound weapon, tear gas, and billy club the the rest of the 'peaceful demonstrators. This is all very well choreographed by these animals.. did you see them beat' that 100 pound woman? Disgraceful!
After the announcement by the Russian President that the World no longer will be monopole, he stated that the regional currencies will begin soon and that the IMF will get 5% of each countrys GDP to start the new Brett & Woods monetary system. That means that the US dollar will cease as the fiat currency. The result will be a large sell off of American dollar and a financial collapse of the US economy. You think things are bad now? You are going to see more of these SS bastards on the streets.
I agree with you. The only way I've ever seen or heard of the many huge Campaign for Liberty rallys, and the tea parties, which have all been completely peaceful and resolute, was through the internet. Sure, Faux News has tried to exploit them a bit, but even Faux News has ignored C4L and the overall messages.
You are in New America. Its kind of like Byzantium. We still call ourselves Americans, but its really in name only. America lives, more or less, in name only. We no longer should be fighting for our right to party - we should be fighting for our right to be humans and not slaves.
I'm sure you know about banking schemes and so I'm sure you know about how they'll do whatever necessary to retain power. This might be a bit of a thing. We might have to look into Ghandi tactics - or maybe 1776.
Ron Paul you are an inspiration to my political ideologies. You stand up for the voices that are dismissed by those in power and those who are corrupted by such power. I wish you the best in 2012, you deserve to be a great leader for the U.S.A.
have no fear, Dr. Paul, the Dutch will save your economy! You're welcome to invest your dollars in our Midcap right now, and have hard Euro returns by the end of the month! All we ask is to leave the Taliban to us, we'll have the war be over by next year, we promise.
I disagree with having gold and silver as legal tender. I like that the dollar is tied to OPEC oil. Its working. We just need to stop spending so much.

I live just outside Pittsburgh...I myself couldnt make it to the protests, but alot of friends did. Some were Tear Gassed, Arrested already. Ill try to post the video, otherwise theres a troubling one on CNN if ya wanna check it out. Go Ron Paul!....AND GO STEELERS!!
Every once in while maybe in a life time someone comes around and has the right answers and inspires and gives us hope and stands head and shoulders above the rest, Ron Paul is such a person, The powers to be will not allow such a person to govern a nation that doesn't fit or agree to their agenda, it's a sad truth I am sorry to say. He should have been President of the united States of America, the USA would have transformed into a place where dreams are made of.
I think it's funny when Ron Paul says we got to wake up the American people, lol It's not the American people! we are very awake and listening! It's the god dam government that is not listening to the American people! Congress needs to wake the hell up.
YES...me too, i can't stand obama bitch ass...this nigga bin lyin from the FIRST day in office...he talkin bout endin' the war...now he sendin MORE troops to die, he said no lobbiest...ALL his ppl are...he do everything for his wall street ppl..
Obama's first words in office were a lie. When he was being sworn in he was asked if he would swear to uphold and defend The Constitution. He swore he would. Of course, I was the crazy one back then for saying such a thing...not any more!!!
Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people."
Henry Kissinger (ex U.S. Secretary of State and ongoing agent for the ruling class. Living. Quote 1970)
Conquer the enemy from within to best conquer him from without. Joshua says
A sound banker, alas, is not one who foresees danger and avoids it, but one who, when he is ruined, is ruined in a conventional way along with his fellows, so that no one can really blame him." - John Maynard Keynes, 1931.
To have a working currency, you need to have adequate total exchange value to cover all the transactions in the economy at any given moment. Does all the gold and silver in the world currently have enough exchange value to replace all existing fiat currency? No. But here is why that doesn't matter - THE EXCHANGE VALUE OF GOLD AND SILVER WILL RISE IN RESPONSE TO INCREASED DEMAND AS A MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE UNTIL IT REACHES THE NEEDED LEVEL.
Well isnt that the way it used to be?? Before the great depression?? WHat happens when resource rich countries hoard gold and silver? Poorer nations which are import heavy to survive will no longer be able to survive. Stupid idea.
Another way is Imagine that you now need to pay your employee one ounce of gold a month for him to do his job The increased demand for gold will drive up its exchange value remember the law of supply and demand because it will be in demand for use as money. So then you only have to pay your employee half an ounce of gold. The same amount of gold goes twice as far It is as if the supply of money has increased to meet the demand without causing a loss of value the way inflating fiat currency does
One world currency sorta thing. I've watch plenty of You-tube vids that have mentioned the power players of this country working towards setting something like this up. It's scary how these videos are slowly becoming more true as the months pass.
The gold standard is really the only way to go though. It's simple and doesn't come with all the inflation and control that the current system has.
Just an addition to my last comment. Under a gold standard, gold can not go up in value unless it is manually increased by the government. When there was insufficient gold to redeem the dollars chasing it, the government increased the price of gold.
Remember during the last election when we talked about them wanting to replace our currency with another fiat currency (like the Amero) and everyone said we were crazy? So now they're openly talking about it? We're putting to much power in all the wrong places.
What about competing currencies? There are two systems proposed by the Austrian School of Economics: Gold Standard and Competing Currencies. Competing currencies already exist through various barter networks. I'm actually opening a store next week that ONLY accepts barter currency; no FRNs will be accepted. Hopefully, it'll work and we'll strengthen the Dallas economy.
Great job Ron. You need to be our president to get us out of the wars, end the federal reserve, end the IRS, drastically reduce our size of government/spending, and return to the constitution.
Hopefully you run for the 2012 election. My vote is yours for fighting for the United States Constitution and helping us bring this country back to where it needs to be!
Ron Paul should be president of the united states... Abolish the IRS, abolish the federal reserve. Start running this country for those it was meant for...the people.
spend all your money on gold then , the bankers will flood the market and crash gold ..they control it all ...only way I think to defeat them may be a use of force ?
The bankers can't crash the gold market... They can print paper but they can't print gold. In fact most of the gold they are selling now doesn't even exist, meaning the price of gold is artificially low. As soon as this gets exposed, gold will skyrocket.
In addition china is buying all the gold they can get their hands on, so as soon as the benkers manipulate gold down, china buys it back up to 1000 again. At some point the bankers are going to run out of gold to sell.
Legal tender basically means "stuff you can use when doing trade", right now only dollars and cent are legal tender, those are of course fiat currencies which means they are only worth the value we project onto them because we can always print more money. While 1 "gold dollar" is always worth a dollar because the dollars value is defined by the value of gold. If the dollar had been tied to the gold standard then every American would have had a tripling of their income since 2000, as gold went up
Actually, when we were on the gold standard the price of gold was fixed. For example, prior to 1933 one ounce of gold was ALWAYS redeemable for about $20. Therefore, gold's value was fixed in terms of dollars. If we were on a gold standard, gold could NOT go up in value. The value of the dollar and gold would be one in the same. Hence the term, "good as gold".
I believe a basket of gold, silver, and copper would be the best combination of commodities to back a currency. 1 gram of gold (about $35), 2 ounces of silver ($20/oz * 2 = $40), and the difference in pounds of copper. The price of copper should be fixed very low so that there will always be industrial value to the copper value of people's currency holdings.
To all of you that complain about the number of views vs number of comments/ratings.
Just remember that views are only updated every hour or two and comments/ratings are updated very quickly.
To give you an idea, someone from Texas A&M hitting an impossible basketball shot went viral yesterday, and the one hour count for the video increased 100,000 or something that like in a few hours. Stop the propaganda/conspiracy talk because you sound really stupid.
What upsets me the most is returning to the gold standard is fought by the people it would help the most..the poor and middle class. It'll curb inflation, and stop the runaway borrowing in Washington. The one question I do have that nobody's really answered for me though is does anyone know if the U.S. still even has any gold reserves, and if so, would it be enough to get enough money into cirulation to actually do any good? This idea needs to be looked at, but we need to make sure it'll work.
from what I've gathered from all the videos I've watched and the little I've read the answer to that question seems to be "no". I think I even recall that we've actually been selling our gold...
Its actually fought the most by the bankers, who make it appear that the poor and middle class fight. The US has gold, but not as much as they say they have. There IS enough gold to back certificates, the value would just be very high. If the cert is redeemable it can work. 1 gram of gold would be $100.00, $1000.00 or $100,000 for example. Private precious metals systems such as Liberty Dollar work well even as the gov fights them, but can't be stopped, they still circulate in 6 towns near me.
Please read End The Fed by Ron Paul and buy copies for others. Or download the audiobook for free and burn dozens of copies for distribution on the bus and counter tops around the world.
If they think we'll hand over monetary authority to the IMF or UN they're nuts - we're burdened enough by the fed. Any new currency they present and try to force on us will only be an opportunity to replace the dollar with sound money and abolish the fed.
Bring it on so we can reject it, move in a positive direction, start producing again, and establish some long-overdue stability.
I'm reading End the Fed now - also picked up copies for the family. Thanks for all you do and who you are Ron!
People talk about moving to the gold standard, but lets not forget that we owe the world 9.x TRILLION dollars. If the dollar was backed by any commodity, we would be bankrupted. Why would we want to pay back a gold based money when we borrowed a paper money? I don't want anyone holding me liable to pay back real money, when my government borrowed in it's own non-convertible currency.
ron paul is talking about using the gold standard - right now we have too much debt for that to be possible and he acknowledges that. If he were president he would be reducing our deficit and then it would be possible to use the gold standard again. That would keep up from printing money we don't have. There's only so much gold and that's why it's not a option right now.
He believes any currency backed by a commodity or precious metal in full or part would favored. Such a currency could be put into circulation and compete with the established fiat currency could provide a method of transition.
Yet this is unlikely to occur without overwheling demands from the public, a public that currently has no understanding of the issue. A fiat currency gives power to the central bankers and politicians who niether understand or wish to relinquish power.
The people wont accept another paper currency. Gold and silver standard, or we'll use our own.

Who cares about the gold standard. It's silly.
telmnstr 2 years ago
Not as silly as attaching value to a standard that contains an endless ability to be inflated for purely political reasons while those who have that have the least must suffer to aid those who have the most. Gold is an equalizer, abet a very old one, but it cannot be inflated or manipulated.
If we could built a fiat system that sheds gold's disadvantages, yet keeps its real value- I'd be all for it.

you can build a fiat system that will store it's value. PM me and i'll explain if you're interested.

Sure it is a theoretical possibility, but a political impossibility. Any system not locked to something of immutable value will eventually be distorted by political convenience.
Sure if we passed a balanced budget amendment, locked a rate of monetary
expansion, and completely divorced monetary decisions from politicians, a fiat system would work well.

You make the currency full reserve digital currency. When first created you have people trade in 5 dollars for every 1 new digital dollar, this gives a stronger currency to begin with, 2nd the government can only borrow certain amount of money upon which the system will refuse to lend money to the government. the system is also tax locked, it will never go higher than 10% flat tax. lending interest rates are programmed in, and can not be changed manually either.

i fail to see how this is any different than the existing fiat Fed system. all you're doing is saving trees and ink. if it's possible to abuse the value of the money, it will be. you can't abuse hard currencies because everybody has to expend the same effort to do so (i.e. mining gold and silver).

Gold isn't manipulated, It has a finite real value that is immutable. The price of gold fluctuates dependent of the currency it is based against. For example, look at the price per barrel of oil in euros versus dollars in 2008. Commodities are physical, the only way you can deflate the true value is by using them up and the only way you can inflate the true value is by acquiring more.
With paper money, there is no limit to the inflation, nor attachment to something real. It's magic paper

I think the damage would have been worse if there had not been such a police presence. They were ready for the troublemakers and arrested the; probably outside: agitators a.s.a.p..
What a massive MSM coverage of these few violent prone protesters being arrested versus the almost whole MSM blackout of the 1.5 to 2 million really peaceful protesters in W.D.C. last weekend.
Notice how the "news" media always concentrates on & exaggerates violent behavior and ignores the peaceful persons present..

Lastly, let me respond to you velvet, the "troublemakers" werent the protesters. They who caused the trouble, in order to give them a reason to bring in police "militia" were 'staged' actors (put there by oikuce.nukutart)! They get these "stooges" to cause the trouble, so that they can make excuse to sound weapon, tear gas, and billy club the the rest of the 'peaceful demonstrators. This is all very well choreographed by these animals.. did you see them beat' that 100 pound woman? Disgraceful!

After the announcement by the Russian President that the World no longer will be monopole, he stated that the regional currencies will begin soon and that the IMF will get 5% of each countrys GDP to start the new Brett & Woods monetary system. That means that the US dollar will cease as the fiat currency. The result will be a large sell off of American dollar and a financial collapse of the US economy. You think things are bad now? You are going to see more of these SS bastards on the streets.

THE ANSWER IS GOLD & SILVER NOT FIAT PAPER
To have a working currency, you need to have adequate total exchange value to cover all the transactions in the economy at any given moment. Does all the gold and silver in the world currently have enough exchange value to replace all existing fiat currency? No. But here is why that doesn't matter - THE EXCHANGE VALUE OF GOLD AND SILVER WILL RISE IN RESPONSE TO INCREASED DEMAND AS A MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE UNTIL IT REACHES THE NEEDED LEVEL.
WarDogLRS 2 years ago
Well isnt that the way it used to be?? Before the great depression?? WHat happens when resource rich countries hoard gold and silver? Poorer nations which are import heavy to survive will no longer be able to survive. Stupid idea.
shnishnal 2 years ago
Another way is Imagine that you now need to pay your employee one ounce of gold a month for him to do his job The increased demand for gold will drive up its exchange value remember the law of supply and demand because it will be in demand for use as money. So then you only have to pay your employee half an ounce of gold. The same amount of gold goes twice as far It is as if the supply of money has increased to meet the demand without causing a loss of value the way inflating fiat currency does

Just an addition to my last comment. Under a gold standard, gold can not go up in value unless it is manually increased by the government. When there was insufficient gold to redeem the dollars chasing it, the government increased the price of gold.

What about competing currencies? There are two systems proposed by the Austrian School of Economics: Gold Standard and Competing Currencies.

Gold is the perfect currency because it:
1. does not oxidize
2. is heavier than all cheaper metals so it cannot be counterfeit
3. has a lot of value per weight
Silver is ok too because:
1. it oxidizes VERY slowly
2. is heavier than most cheaper metals so it is difficult to counterfeit
3. has a decent amount of value per weight
4. also has heavy industrial use
other commodities just don't hold up to these standards

The bankers can't crash the gold market... They can print paper but they can't print gold. In fact most of the gold they are selling now doesn't even exist, meaning the price of gold is artificially low. As soon as this gets exposed, gold will skyrocket.
In addition china is buying all the gold they can get their hands on, so as soon as the benkers manipulate gold down, china buys it back up to 1000 again. At some point the bankers are going to run out of gold to sell.

Legal tender basically means "stuff you can use when doing trade", right now only dollars and cent are legal tender, those are of course fiat currencies which means they are only worth the value we project onto them because we can always print more money. While 1 "gold dollar" is always worth a dollar because the dollars value is defined by the value of gold. If the dollar had been tied to the gold standard then every American would have had a tripling of their income since 2000, as gold went up
Slug99 2 years ago
Actually, when we were on the gold standard the price of gold was fixed. For example, prior to 1933 one ounce of gold was ALWAYS redeemable for about $20. Therefore, gold's value was fixed in terms of dollars. If we were on a gold standard, gold could NOT go up in value. The value of the dollar and gold would be one in the same. Hence the term, "good as gold".
Dannyboy8155 2 years ago
I believe a basket of gold, silver, and copper would be the best combination of commodities to back a currency. 1 gram of gold (about $35), 2 ounces of silver ($20/oz * 2 = $40), and the difference in pounds of copper. The price of copper should be fixed very low so that there will always be industrial value to the copper value of people's currency holdings.

What upsets me the most is returning to the gold standard is fought by the people it would help the most..the poor and middle class. It'll curb inflation, and stop the runaway borrowing in Washington. The one question I do have that nobody's really answered for me though is does anyone know if the U.S. still even has any gold reserves, and if so, would it be enough to get enough money into cirulation to actually do any good? This idea needs to be looked at, but we need to make sure it'll work.

Its actually fought the most by the bankers, who make it appear that the poor and middle class fight. The US has gold, but not as much as they say they have. There IS enough gold to back certificates, the value would just be very high. If the cert is redeemable it can work. 1 gram of gold would be $100.00, $1000.00 or $100,000 for example. Private precious metals systems such as Liberty Dollar work well even as the gov fights them, but can't be stopped, they still circulate in 6 towns near me.

ron paul is talking about using the gold standard - right now we have too much debt for that to be possible and he acknowledges that.

There's only so much gold and that's why it's not a option right now.

He believes any currency backed by a commodity or precious metal in full or part would favored. Such a currency could be put into circulation and compete with the established fiat currency could provide a method of transition.
Yet this is unlikely to occur without overwheling demands from the public, a public that currently has no understanding of the issue. A fiat currency gives power to the central bankers and politicians who niether understand or wish to relinquish power.
