  • I like to view myself as a smart man, but i am not yet smart enough to see exactly how a system like this would work (based off of what was just said) anyone know a good example that could dumb it down a bit for me?

  • Comment removed

  • @ForteMajor Also, here's a pretty interesting, semi-related video (/watch?v=czcUmnsprQI). It gives you a good idea of what Ron Paul's economic ideals are. I don't think it'll happen exactly that way but its still a good direction. What we have right now is corporatism (with all the bailouts) not free market capitalism.

  • @ForteMajor NB: Actually I'm not quite sure if he wants to phase out fiat money completely.

  • Very interesting stuff!

  • END THE FED !!

  • Dumb sheeple, the Dem/Rep/left/Right PHONEY choice (U dont really have, the FED controles ALL sides even if 1 side opposes the FED, the FED just pulls back the money in secret) paradyme.

    There is NO choice you fools. The ONLY choice is ANTI FED, ANTI BANK, ANTI LENDING/BARROWING MONEY. America is LITERALLY OWNED & NO PRESIDENT HAS POWER ANYMORE. SHeeple have NO CONCEPT of the MONETARY SYSTEM. NO CLUE they have NO REAL CHOICE. Every 4 years the sheep see NO change & blame a president, IDIOTS.

  • If you look at the American Open Currency System, you will see some organizations and individuals are making voluntary barter currency. These are essentially coins made of copper, silver and gold with varying "face values" of 2, 5, 50 etc. They don't say 'dollars' but they are accepted as so, by those who accept them. Check them out. Look up aocsmint. dot com. Certainly, if you are a business, I would accept these metal coins as payment.

  • @derfowvayer If what you say is true.. this money is the biggest threat to the new world order (bankers/elite) that has existed since Kennedy was killed for shutting down the FED (trillions of bankers dollars were at stake, people are too stupid to see this obvious truth, even though the exact same thing was admitted to in Lincolns case). If the public realised this country is a corporation & not a country, if they knew how politics & the monetary system worked, they would revolt before dawn..

  • To the Ron Paul Cultists, how do you explain dr, Paul doing away with social Security,ive been paying into it for 2ahh to be 12

    and Full of piss and Vinegar

    0 years , and just Becouse , Dr, Paul Disagrees with Big, Bad, Goverment, we should Abolish it?!

  • @GypsyKing7 Ron Paul would end the wars so he could pay your social security. He would stop making young people pay into the ponzi scheme so it could eventually be ended..

  • this man is a genius, how it comes that his son is such a retard?

  • = How can you allow competing surrencies . Dollar would loose ....

    It is not going to pass .

    USA goverment confiscated Liberty Dollars and closed it down.

  • @hobatu well Britain my country has done better precicely because it did not join the euro, and even over history it has been proven that competing currencies do better HOWEVER in this economic climate, and which country do you live in? because if it is in Europe its no surprise theyre being mauled by a failing giant, the euro. Oh and this system would only work with free trade agreements and low tax.

  • @BiffaTW free trade agreements are the destabilzing tool of the elite to endebt both rich and poor nations. People better learn quick how this all works because time is short. Bankers control the world.. governments, militaries.. entire countries and every country that forms a union (African union, Euro union, N. American union, Asian union etc) is/will be owned by international bankers. It's so simple yet Americans especially continue to barrow.

  • @mrtruthify well thats one way of looking at it, partic in the modern world, but if it had been a truly free trade world with an independant economy the banks would have fallen and the bankers with them.

  • @BiffaTW 'Free trade' is the means of all evil.. the root.. the tool of destabilization because there is & never will be such a thing as ethicle free trade. Your rebutting my comment by telling us that "if free trade was really free trade, it would work." I'll put it plainly to you sir.. that your saying this is NO different than saying the MOST wealthy, greedy people on the face of the earth will trade feely & fairly with desperate nations. A child knows better, a wolf is a wolf.. period.

  • @mrtruthify bro...first off, are you scared or something? Relax. I would just like to bring a fundamental point to your attention that has to do with the analogy you presented. Ill clarify your analogy, its a bit messy as you typed it. " Saying free trade would work is like expecting wolves not to prey on the weak when its hungry." Frankly, this concept was identically taught in my 9th grade textbook..my friend, the governments are the only ones hunting for prey, they're the only ones with guns

  • Maybe u should get excited..

    "THE C.F.R. IS THE AMERICAN BRANCH OF A SOCIETY WHICH ORIGINATED IN ENGLAND & BELIEVES NATIONAL BOUNDARIES SHOULD BE OBLITERATED & ONE-WORLD RULE ESTABLISHED."

    The aim is

    "NOTHING LESS THAN TO CREATE A WORLD SYSTEM OF FINANCIAL CONTROL IN PRIVATE HANDS ABLE TO DOMINATE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF EACH COUNTRY & THE ECONOMY OF THE WORLD AS A WHOLE. I WAS PERMITTED TO EXAMINE ITS PAPERS & SECRET RECORDS."

    Carroll Quigley, 16 year former member of the CFR

  • @BiffaTW This isn't a game & I'm not really here to debate. I know these realities & this is a fight for nothing less than the peoples freedom & sovereignty in the world. You can back & forth all you want, thats your right.. for now....

    Soon you will have none. I could point you to a memo just issued by 'homeland security' (Identicle to Hitlers SS but Americans don't read so they know nothing about history) that states "ANYONE WHO STATES A DISLIKE OR MISTRUST OF THE FED COULD BE A TERORIST."

  • @mrtruthify your just being silly now.

  • @BiffaTW Since your too brainwashed to do it.. I've done it for you..

    Here are the bills proposing everyone on THIS page is a FELON.

    If you thought my statement before sounded outlandish then you might want to put your latte down for a moment.. I had it wrong.. I stated the facts CONSERVATIVELY... The laws are much much worse.. Calling ALL protesters "terrorists."

  • @hobatu the problem with the euro is that it is too centralised, creating decentralised currencies would increase the value of other currencies, this idea would encourage competition and therefore growth, growth of the best and most profitable thereby increasing monetary value.

  • You know, people see the american stock market as something resembling a casino. This is especially true in Foreign Exchange markets.

    I don't see why we can't just set up a World Bank, issuing its own currency, backed with a gold standard... Oh.... wait. There are laws in some places stopping that.

  • I differ a lot with Ron. I like him because he is by the book and sincere about it. I wish he had no ties to the Republican party...he seems oddly out of place. I dunno, if he was the last nominee instead of McCain, he wouldn't have hand-picked the hockey mom.

  • @themooddisorders There are only 2 parties. There is a strong tradition within the Republican Party that is both anti-War and anti-Welfare. Hence, his choice of being an Elephant. Of course the Republican Party has been hijacked by the neocons (once found exclusively in the Donkey party) and his thread is in a extreme minority. But we are in an interesting time. Once again, the Dems have shown their statist hand to their liberal base AND the Repubs are in disarray.

  • @jimmyjoe1975 oh yeah

  • I think this is a very bad idea ron paul

  • @drudometkin Can you explain why you think fiat currency monopolies are a good idea?

  • Go RP - Just hope your message reaches more people!

  • As a Democrat, I would vote for Ron Paul.

  • @psychoklown66 as someone who hates the left as well as the right, i speak for every american when i say, if we want to save this country, no more brainless democrats and no more soulless republicans ever again PAUL 2012

  • @psychoklown66 As Americans, we NEED to vote for Paul.

  • still wants to end the fed...thats the name of the book as well...the first step in ending the fed is to get an audit....RON PAUL 2012.

  • Ron Paul speaks clearly and intelligibly.

    If legal tender laws are repealed and competing currencies legalized then it seems I might need to carry several different notes (bills) in my wallet as each merchant might accept only his favorite one (e.g., movie ticket requires FED notes, popcorn requires RONPAUL notes). How big of a hassle would this be for consumers?

  • @2tolerant

    I think it might be more like VISA, Mastercard, American Express... not every place takes every card but their general acceptance means the cards are still useful. You might even have a situation where the movie theater posts two prices, one for FED notes and one for RONPAUL notes and of course enterprising individuals will set up convenient currency exchanges for people who have one type of note but need the other.

  • @cleanmrbroadway not exactly, if you open it up to currency competition, that would mean if you have gold backed dollars or gold coins in large circulation, people would realize that they would be better off with gold or silver backed dollars/gold or silver coins then federal reserve notes. so you have to start off by opening it up to competition, then the people would make the smarter decision and dump federal reserve notes, stick with gold/silver. what ron paul envisions.

  • @politicsAddict,. no way., people want the higher stack everytime. it will not work. You gotta cutem off. Kickem out. Tellem you will not pay and arm yourselves. They will set the world against you. They have foreseen. This Paul guy is a set up. He has to do what he is told. They will kill and torture his children if he doesnt play ball. But he's a player anyway.

  • It's amazing what the establishment can do for a candidate; as for 2008, Barack Obama. The corrupt two party system and negligent media showed a sharp looking well spoken man speaking of 'hope' and 'change' by way of Obama, when all along, there was a man with revolutionary ideas, relative to our current situation, that would truly bring change, and he goes virtually un-noticed. Not again in 2012... I hope. Go Ron Paul. You're the only one in government who I trust.

  • I second that hope. Ron Paul is the only hope... unfortunately, he'll never see the inside of the White House. However, he has lit a fuse that, God willing, will lead to a wider rethinking of what our problems are and what we must do.

    Ron Paul 2012!!

  • I support competing currencies. Lawrence White has a good book titled "Competition and Currencies".

    I find it odd Paul said the the commissions report during the Great Depression was that the fed didn't print up enough money. That's true. We had a great contraction in the money supply.

  • Ron Paul is a jesuit co adjutor freemason.

    Watch my playlist...

    He won't even admit that 9-11 was a controlled demolition!

    THERE IS MORE TO LEARN...

    DON'T HATE; EDUCATE

  • You can say what you want about Ron Paul it will not deter me from my respect or support for him.I have been to rallys and have met the man and he certainly is not the salesman politician we always are given to choose from. I have seen his 30 year record in Congress and it is impeccable! Ron Paul 2012!!!!

  • You are an illogical moron, then.

    I tell you that he is under the control of higher forces, and you say, that's ok, I still beLIEve in him.

    You are a DISGRACE to each and everyone on here who is more than just a bottom feeder like you, who has no ebergy to look ant further than what they already understand.

    To understand how teh secret societies are controlling politics, you must understand that politics is just a front for their secret religion.

    You have A LOT to learn, LAZY!

  • You`re the moron!!!! PROVE it to me that he`s controlled,I`m guessing you can`t. I care not what you think and you`re the DISGRACE not me.I realized what Bush was about and now Obama but you`re very wrong here.

  • @mittenola

    STUDY THE MYSTERIES.

    STUDY THEMYSTERIES.

    Study the mysteries!

    LEARN ABOUT THE FREEMASONS.

    WATCH MY FREEMASONRY PLAYLIST.

    That is the answer to your challenge for me to prove it.

    It's funny, but you can only prove it to yourself, as we all know.

  • lexus232323

    they should of called it state of obama

    lies n bs lol

  • Hey Ron Paul supporters,

    We could use your help stopping the Cap & Trade legislation & the Global Warming charade.

    Gore was chief cheerleader for the NAFTA & WTO creation which destroyed multiple tens of millions of good paying jobs & now is pushing the GW charade & Cap & Trade so he can cash in with his Goldman Sachs business shyster pals.

    Please take a look at this important issue. They have faked data & spent many millions to promote this crisis creation

    Thanks all

    CLIMATEGATE(dot)com

  • OMG!

    As I am reading your comment, and the words "Cap and Trade" I am hearing a man speak about the same subject in another video...saying how bad it is...

    WOW!

    ("JMP Bob Chapman 7-17-2009") 53:50

  • MrDuffy81 & everybody check out this video,

    For a great expose of the Cap & Trade, which Gore & his Goldman Sachs shysters are set up to cash in on

    Input youtube

    "The Huge Mistake Climate Change Solutions 2009"

    Help stop the Carbon tax fraud, call your Government Rep & say "NO" to Cap & Trade!

  • thank the universe we have ron paul on the floor fighting the good fight.

    thank you paul for everything you have done for us! We will never forget how many people you've inspired.

    smkuhner

  • Ron Paul 2012!!!!!!

  • He's a freemason.

    He took everyone's vote and quit with them on board.

    He is a disgrace.

  • u made some great points in this speech about competing currencies

  • Read Rand

  • Keep fighting the good fight Mr. Paul!!!

  • First time posting on youTube on the 27th of January in the year of our Lord two thousand and ten. Excellent facts presented by Dr. Ron Paul once again and also an excellent solution to a growing problem. Hope it passes..

  • I was watching the State of Union Address. But I had to stop because it's such a bullshit speech...

    It's bullshit... If you want to improve the economy, fucking stop spending so much time and money on international affairs Obama...

    I hate to say this,,, but we got major problems at home, and we don't have time or the money to build nations...

    btw, the fed gotta go, gotta blow up into pieces,, fucking stealing from americans.. what a treason...

  • fuck i watched the whole damn thing lol, fuck obama is the lord of shit talking period, i mean we all know bush talked quite a bit of shit himself, but with him you could see it coming a mile away.. if i was american in 08 i would have voted obama strait up but lookin at things now, im quite glad i've never voted and even more glad im not american, not that theres anything wrong with being american.. just dont follow the american idiots that make up over 50% of ur population.. peace :)

  • Comment removed

  • @lexus232323 i agree with everything you said. And to be honest guys I think the whole enviornment package is so needless right now, It should not be on the top of the list for spending money we don't have. Lets get our shit together first and make sure we have our troops home and a sound currency then start worrying about the planet. (it will not die in10 years i assure you)

  • Very interesting. Seems like it would be creating a quasi-market structure similar to models of public goods. I hope this gets passed, It would really open up the monetary landscape for new sources of currency. There are a few alternative currency systems being used in local communities, but it would be great to see them gain some clout on larger playing fields!

  • Go Ron Go!

  • WOW this would really work!!!

    If it would work you can be sure Congress won't do it.

  • Obviously, congress...they a re a bunch of wusses following orders of the masonic elite. They just easily get bought off or bribed or blackmailed or possibly, threatened to go along with things.

  • Fantastic idea Ron Paul!

  • If only we could go back in time and kill off all the central bankers, the fed would have never exidted and america would be a lot smaller as well, but we'd have no or perhaps less...blood sucking money vultures.

  • i agree with you... but wishing doesn't really help. there should be organized approch towards tackling this economic system based on debt. i think Americans should start living within their means first and start investing in Gold as a start. and also start business, espeically manufacturing business, as any thing physical is wealth in economics. so producing again makes a difference. stop using dollar and go for alternatives as growing stuff in you own back yard.saves shopping time and no money

  • Paper backed by NOTHING is not money. Period.

  • Hopefully this legislation can get fasttracked!

  • If ron Paul had billions, he could easily fast track eveything.

  • I don't really understand this policy to be honest, but if its a Ron Paul Policy - Its got to be 100% right.

  • he just wants more than just federal reserve dollar notes circulating. so if the central bank tries to play around with interest rates up dow sending the economy into a boom or a bust he wants there to be other money people can turn too so as to keep the economy on a stable course and business activity can continue to carry on. iliminating booms and bust. that means no more recessions and depressions they would become obsolete if competiting currencies existed. He is so brilliant.

  • Wow we are fucked. A revolution is pretty much imminent, it a matter of time.

  • Paul/Napolitano 2012

  • hmmmmm?ventura/napolitano.....­i love paul...but he says hes to old......

  • He is not too old AND he is his own doctor. RON PAUL 2012!!

  • so much would be solved if this was allowed to pass into law

  • how do you know that? i seen him shake a hand once that apeared freemason like but thats it. he ant a free manson unless you can prove this.

    he is everything opposite a freemason. i think you're deliberately lying.

  • so vvas vvasington......thier not all luciferians.....

  • yeah but prove paul is one. no showing that silly picture of his hand shake. actual solid evidence like a confession fom him.

  • well?

  • America is a colony of Israel.

    Israeli agents have completely infiltrated government, media, and banking in America.

  • @ defytheTP...... is correct...fed res...CFR...trilat.comm.......­all these orgs and others sole purpose is to destroy the middle class......and then america!

  • Ron Paul is a very smart man.

  • quite billiant of an idea. what could be the negative implications of competing currencies?

  • the best most brilliant thing that could ever happen in the history of the world is competiting currencies.

    90% of all the worlds problems would vanish if the money supply become stable. first time in history.

    its my dream that this allowed to exist.

    I love you Ron Paul.

  • Money supply in America was stable for about 130 years, everything was fine.

    As soon as we allowed a private bank to take care of our currency in 1913, everything began to change.

    That's when the bubble and burst economy started in America.

  • get this shit to happen. im australian i can only watch and comment. i do donate. but you guys must get this to be real.make it happen good luck my friend

  • Rothschild was never kicked out of america, well, his banks and associates. Jefferson succeeded a few times but they keep going....they never stop, they are insane.

  • The rationality of Ron Paul's argument and irrationally of the other side's argument is scary. What's more scary is that the other side are the people who are in charge.

  • Poor Ron paul is going to loose his seat to a Democrat come November.

    The dumb ass won't work on what the people of his district the most....jobs. He spends all his time on the fed and not one minute on jobs,healthcare.

    Get off your private crusade of trying to end the fed and start working for the people of your district or you'll find a termination slip come November.

  • 4:18 -- 'today..our government commits fraud and counterfeit...by just printing money at will, if a private organization did that, they would be in prison for the fraud that they are causing..'

    President Paul....thank you.

  • We don't need the governments "ok" to create our own money, Ron. We're already doing it and there's nothing the fools in Washington can do about it.

  • @RonPaulRevolution4u

    That's only in stocks. If you are going to invest into gold, you buy gold, not gold stock.

    Can't teach you kids nothing now days.

  • I wouldn't know. I don't pay any taxes at all.

  • MoneyIsSilver

    Here's the difference between you and us:

    Whether you like it or not, what you're doing is illegal and you could go to jail and you KNOW it. You are NOT free.

    For us, we WANT you to be FREE to do this with no fear of the punitive, coercive, forceful, unjust nature of government raining down on you for something we AGREE you should be FREE to do since you aren't hurting anyone, nor committing theft or fraud against them, nor robbing anyone of his/her personal freedom. That's all

  • Here's the difference:

    I don't care what the law states anymore cause I no longer give consent to the government. If they don't like it, I won't be going to jail, they'll have to kill me.

    Who are you talking about "..we WANT you to be FREE.."?? No one is fighting for me, but for themselves, so cut the "I'm fighting for you BS". Look, our founders didn't try to pass legislation at Lexington and Concord, they told the British to F Off. When you're ready to join the rest of US, let me know.

  • MoneyIsSilver

    There ARE people fighting to make your lifestyle legal. Imagine having to live in prison for it- SO UNjust

    But a libertarian view is different than an anarchist. When I say "us" I mean we libertarians, and when I say "you", I assume you must be anarchist. I have NOTHING against anarchists & often AGREE so this is NOT personal, but anarchists reject any rule of law

    Libertarians believe in a rule of law which PROTECTS personal liberty, which is what the Founders WANTED us to have

  • You should read Murray Rothbard. I used to think the same thing until I read and understood. The problem is that you can't give a government power over individuals, give them a monopoly on the use of violent coercion, and then tell them to limit themselves. The last 200 years is proof that "limited government" doesn't work. Check out the debate between Stefan Molyneux and Michael Badnarik on here and that will address your arguments much more than this limited back and forth.

  • Repeal "legal tender" law....

    the U.S. is NOT a "free" nation because of these "laws" that are the exact opposite of "freedom" and "liberty"...repealing legal tender is the ONLY way to take back our future from the "state" in collaboration with the Banking Cartel that owns it.

  • Legal Tender laws are a joke. If I want to demand gold and silver for payment, I'll do so with or without the government's "ok"

  • Government has arrested people that have tried to create a rival currency to the federal reserve note. One that's instead based on silver, to compete with the dollar/notes.

    Feds come in and shut them down. They KNOW the dollar would get it's ass KICKED if it had to trade against some type of Silver certificate.

  • Tell that to the 20-some companies issuing their own currencies that are listed on the American Open Currency Standard website.

    are the Feds going to try to bust every one of them? I don't think they can

  • The founding fathers would be proud of Ron Paul. His entire career has been fighting for freedom and liberty. Upholding the constitution as our highest law in the land. We need more Ron Pauls in washington.

  • @bigvevil Meh. No need to be so high on the founding fathers. They were a mixed bag politically and even the ones who talked a good game ended up going beyond the scope of the constitution that they helped to write once they were in power. We need to eliminate Washington and have more Ron Pauls living freely amongst us.

  • I like that man so much. He has fought for honesty and integrity in government his whole life. His colleagues will take the expedient path to ensure the campaign contributions keep rolling in. He may not get his day in the sun while in congress, but history will hold him up as an example of who was speaking the truth when the dust settles.

  • Cool

  • aesopstruth,

    We do not even need to hold actual Gold or Silver.

    Have you ever heard of e-Gold or e-Bullion? They were an e-currency that was backed by precious metals and had millions of customers before the US Gov illegally shut them down.

    Great speech by We The People's President.

    Dr. Ron Paul/Dr. Rand Paul 2012

    "ONLY Doctors WILL HEAL America"

  • Thank you President Paul.

  • Yes! Competing Currencies IS What this country needs. This would also, I would assume reinstate the FREE Coinage Act - Where if you have currently in your possession, Gold & Silver Bullion, you can have it minted into Constitutional Sound Money, ie, Gold and Silver coins.

    Then we would have the Proof to let people actually vote with their money by choosing which monetary system they would like to take part of, devaluing Paper federal reserve notes OR Sound Constitutional Gold and Silver money.

  • I like the idea. It sounds like a smooth way to put back value to the dollar (or if that fails there is at least other currancy to use if the dollar collapse - what will we do if the dollar collapse and there is no other currancy available?)

  • When that happens we will basically be Canadas Mexico... hell, we might become Mexicos Mexico. And then all the Mexicans will rub it in our face when we are jumping the fence to go to their country they will yell: IN YOUR FACE PENDAYHOS! WhO's LAUGHING NOW???

  • The elites are working on this now. SDR (Special Drawing Rights) issued by International Monetary Fund. Therefore... finally we'll be closer to one world government. Keep in mind that Americans are the ones who proposed the ideas of international bureaucratic agencies such as UN, NAFTA, WTO, IMF.. etc. They'll be ruling all over us, when America fails.

  • Special Drawing Rights? What the hell does that mean?

  • SDRs are a basket of various currencies and would be issued through the IMF (International Monetary Fund).

  • Ron Paul gets his say as well in my playlists, most sides of the story/argument get their time in my playlists for those interested.

  • Is there anyone here that knows what's going on or are you all distracted with material stuff?

    Anyway, I've gathered quite a number of informational videos from all kinds of different sources. If you want to compare different conspiracy theories or see some debunking theories you could probably find something of value on my page.

    Some of you probably won't like the first source in the first playlist but I suggest you break through your conditioning (emotions) and just hear everyone out.

  • America could purchase gold as a nation and do away with the Fed Res altogether. The government could offer gold bonds to Americans at greatly discounted prices because of the sheer volume of gold being purchased. The bond would secure the gold for the bond holder for a 20 year period in which the Gov. would use the gold for growth. After 20 yrs the bond holder could redeem the bond/weight at the current/greater price.

  • According to today's Financial Times: Russia will start buying Canadian and Australian dollars because they are backed by gold and oil.

  • This is Hundred years Too Late while the Gold and siler has long been confiscated

  • @aesopstruth It's in a vault under federal reserve in new york and in fort knox. If there was ever a revolution, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for 300+ million Americans to get a hold of and give back to the people.

  • Unless those are fake (distraction) and the real gold is somewhere else. Either way, the noose is tightening around the ruling powers that be and more and more people are waking up.

  • Roosevelt put all our gold in the European market. We don't have any.

  • I love Ron Paul, I really appreciate him!

  • Brilliant! Way to go Ron, I'll call my rep today.

  • GO RON PAUL!!

  • hum this makes sense

  • Run Ron Run 2012!

  • Ron Paul is the voice of truth and reason!

    Ron Paul for US President 2012!

  • Im starting to get the feeling the ppl that own the federal res are behind alot of the mischief in the world.

  • Great idea sir!

  • It's a good bill but it will never be allowed by the US government(or any government for that matter). Ron Paul is cunning, he knows that if his bill passes virtually all Americans would transfer to the private currencies. The Fed will basically be competed out of existence along with most gov't agencies. This is why parasitic states want to regulate/control banking and have a standard currency. I think Ron Paul knows it will never pass he's just pushing it for free market education.

  • @truevoice08

    You would be surprised. Lots of people would refuse to use gold. lots of people would only use gold. lots of people would use both. Reality would determine who is right.

  • @chaserehn Wow...thanks for the brilliantly stated insight...Einstein.

  • Since the Federal Reserve was passed by the cunning Woodrow Wilson, I feel he is justified to do the same deception to get rid of the deception that started this in 1913.

  • But Woodrow Wilson is dead, and we cna't bring him back to life.

  • Ron "The Hammer" Paul. Keep it Ron- We are behind you 100%.

  • 5000%

  • So few people today can grasp the concept of individual freedom. Ron Paul is shocking to those who were trained to think the government should decide everything and rule us and punish anyone who doesn't obey its every dictate, regulation, demand, order etc. Free people would offer many creative opportunities and choices.

  • Youtube is always stuck on 302 views when is comes to Ron Paul's videos.

  • @sirya911 it's a glitch and it happens to all newly uploaded videos

  • @PearlJamner except if its hanna montana and michael jackson video!

  • 302 views

  • This man should've been President!! Shame on ALL Republicans and others that didn't take him in.

  • the system shot him down. censoring him and making him apear as a nothin candidate. start getting signs up now ron paul for president 2012. start getting ready now. set up a ron paul tube just for ron paul and an honest coverage of the elections. i reckon youtube will censor him you guys got to take on the system and win. you guys will win you americans are the fucking best in the world.

  • im not kidding kick the systems ass and get ron paul in the office.

  • Thanks for that fine compliment. I think aussies are the best too.

  • Smart man. Let the alternate currency of gold/silver prove itself the best choice through competition. The people will see how much more beneficial it'd be. I just hope there's enough time before the current Fed currency sytem completely fails and chaos pursues....

    I would contend that Mandating the thing which has historically been used since the dawning of civilized societies and as long as we have had governments is not only the right thing to do, but it is the thing that is in-line with what happens naturally.

    Keeping a Monopoly Money Mint is not an option and only sustains the militery industrial complex stealing from ME and YOU!

  • Sounds good.

    MAYBE free-spending DEMBOS will STOP spending as they see the 2nd AMERICAN REVOLUTION coming in November.

    Don't hold your breath.

  • When JFK tried to put the kibosh on the Fed, he got assassinated. Ron Paul also recently spoke out against the CIA corruption. He is a brave and honest man. He is my hero. I hope my fears don't come to fruition. If his is harmed...... it wont be good!

  • Ron Paul 2012!!!

  • everyone familiar with the American Open Currency Standard?

  • Mandating the usage of gold and silver to repay debt - is NOT freedom. Its dictatorship.

  • The system we have now is dictatorial & oppressive. I don't see how going back to gold/silver would be as bad or worse. We need to switch back to something of value or worth as a means of paying debt. This competing currencies is a good stepping stone to doing that.

  • @PersianPaladin I'd rather be paid in gold and silver, not in a paper currency that has no intrinsic value, only the value determined by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury. My income goes down because the value of the dollar goes down. It's an invisible tax. An invisible THEFT.
