Ron Paul: Collapse of the Dollar

[hitman1502]

a man that is talkin about actuall problems and not kissing babys? other canadates should be ashamed for even running aginst him tryin to stop him from winning.. ron paul for 2012

[BobbyWarrenMiller]

No country has been able to support fascism for long. Needlessly murdering citizens of other countries in order to control their natural resources will catch up with you. "In God We Trust" is bullshit. The truth is "In Weapons of Mass Destruction We Trust". The perfect justice would be for cities like Paris, London, and New Your City to become garbage dumps filled with tents, soup lines, and rats, lots of rats. Then the damn hypocrites could have some meat in their soup.

[TheAerosmither]

well...here is what i think.

Ron obviously is a good man...but how in the world the congress allows people like him to work for them?

he's telling the truth as is...So?

i believe he's one of them..whether he knew it or not.

releasing such an information could cause FEAR...and that's what they want.

do we think Ron paul only think like that? why didn't we see more people like him working for the government before?

they are the one who let the infos in and out whenever they want.

that's it.

[shilltheshillXXX]

@jaguarclaw No. I do get your point. Thank you for your comment, because in looking for the value of a 1913 dollar, I found out that the 2 Dollar bill was not a product of my life time. ;-) I do however wish that I did have a stash from 1913 (the one dollar design was radically different), as there are 2-1917 one dollar notes on ebay at 3,57EU with 3 days to go and one for 10,84EU with 1 day to go.

I know that is beside the point, but I still wish that I had those old bills.

Gifting any?

[shilltheshillXXX]

Thanks for sharing this video!!!

@jaguarclaw only if that money was in gold stocks

[Tothe2012]

Paul Schiff's analogy of Asians and Americans sharing a deserted island and the roles the play is funny and enlightening. The Asians are the workers feeding the fat guy on the island - the American. The scary part is when the Asians realize they can feed themselves and stop relying the fat American buying their products. Basically, when the strength of Asian consumption in India, China, Vietnam, Thailand, etc. meets the needs of Asian companies... the fat guy will starve.

VOTE RON PAUL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!!

[ahspal]

The evidence of a looming dollar collapse is becoming more obvious with the Fed's QE2 last November and Bernanke's mention on 60 minutes last week of a possible QE3. Monetizing the debt, something Bernanke swore before Congress he would never do, illustrates that the world is waking up to our worthless fiat paper. The question of the collapse is no longer "IF," but WHEN ... inflation, then hyperinflation will finally wake all the naysayers out of their self-induced coma.

[Shrunkenhead61]

@jaguarclaw Well, I think Ron Paul was demonstrating the intrinsic value of a good. Gold is gold. Money is the value of a country (that's my thinking on it anyway). If your country is in the poor house, you want a good. When it's doing great you want its currency. Gold tends to be useful regardless of the state of the country. Materials in general are... copper, iron, silver, or aluminum. Coal and oil are other examples. Money usually buys those things that's why they are important. Right?

[strawdog1234567]

Ron Paul would go the way of Kennedy .They would never let him take power.

[jenn1ifer]

Fortunately, it is highly unlikely that the dollar will collapse. That is because no one who has the power to make that happen - China, Japan and other foreign dollar-holders - wants it to happen. It is not in their best interest. Why bankrupt your best customer? Instead, the dollar will probably continue to decline gradually, as these countries slowly find other markets.

[Skunny87]

@jenn1ifer

that is a fallacy. a country with huge trade deficits is a consumer, you are right. but China and Japan needn't worry about losing the US as a customer, because their citizens can consume too. the only reason it hasn't happened yet is because they haven't spent their huge foreign reserves. there comes a time where the threshold is met and the US is cut loose like the bad debtor it is. or you'll do it to yourselves by giving them no choice by destroying the dollar.

[TheGoalSetter]

In this video, Ron Paul seems to be part of the gold pushers campaign of terror (ala Glenn Beck and Goldline). Ron Paul had major investments in gold mining companies and owns millions in gold.

But maybe that is just a coincidence with Ron Paul.

At the very least, Ron Paul was dead wrong about the dollar. I think his life long loyalty to Mises made him too biased.

[tiarnan76]

Not true - the real essence of money is WHO issues it...King Henry drove the moneylenders out of England with the tallystick - just a piece of wood split in two - and it made them the wealthiest country in the world for 700 years...Indians have used sea shells - As long as a currency is issued debt free and is rare and can be used as a medium of exchange - then it is the oil of an economy that can lubricate the cogs of the free market...

[connorqb17]

@tiarnan76 The problem with that is, its not fully a reliable way to run an economy. If gold backs an economy up, its always going to have value.

[tiarnan76]

@connorqb17 Surely 700 years of an empire would b e deemed "reliable"...it is nothing to do with the metal - its the PERSON or PEOPLE who issue the currency...the moneylenders have total control over gold, and in fact if you study the Roman Empire you'll see it flourished when the moneylenders power over using only gold coins was usurped when the Emperor (forget which one) introduced bronze coins...they were plentiful and it created the strongest economy they ever had..

[connorqb17]

@tiarnan76 Yes, it is the people in charge that can help in that scenario, but gold backing up an economy is extra insurance. I don't see why we don't do it, because you don't know who's going to be in charge in the future. It could be someone like Obama, who prints, prints, prints, lowering the count of the dollar. That is why with a gold standard & smart play, we could have a great economy, greater than before. All I'm saying is its extra insurance, & it would help us now.

[tiarnan76]

@connorqb17 The Rothschilds set the price of gold in the City of London and they also run the criminal federal reserve and the rest of the worlds criminal central banks - the elite control gold - by backing an economy to gold you would now (as opposed to even a hundred years ago) give FAR more control to the bankers - the most important facet of the issuance of a currency which makes an economy strong is the person or people issuing the currency - watch a good documentary - "the money masters"

[connorqb17]

@tiarnan76 Okay, maybe I'll have to put it this way. If we print money backed up by nothing it will lower its value, no matter who's in charge. Its a waiting game, to see how long that system can last before collapsing. If we print money with gold backing it up, the dollar wont lose value, and wont go down. Which still helps intenational trade. Are you a keynesian?

[tiarnan76]

@connorqb17 Im a free thinker - period. So what, pray tell, backed up the tally stick in England - which was used for 700 years and was the backbone of their economy which saw them conquer the world.  Money is just a lubricant for an economy - like oil is for your engine - are you saying your car wont run unless you have a store of gold in your safe?? Thats nonsensical. Go study Engalnd and the tallystick and come back to me then.

[connorqb17]

@tiarnan76 You act like money doesn't play a role in an economy at all. Wanna know why I think we shouldn't do what you're saying, because if we stay the course on this our economy will completley fail, because money overall plays a huge role in international trade, which plays a role in supply, but if the count of the dollar goes down when given to buisnesses & banks, the money the people have cant be spent on demand. Federal Reserve ruins supply & demand, the count of the dollar and the market

[tiarnan76]

@connorqb17 I act like money isnt important?? Money does NOT have to be paper - its merely a medium of exchange, and if the money isnt SOUND then your economy will not be SOUND...The CRIMINAL FEDERAL RESERVE operated for 60 years with the DOLLAR BACKED BY GOLD - so once again how does backing a currency by gold PREVENT the criminal activities of the International Banksters IT DOESNT - now go study the tallystick and the TRUE FUNCTIONS OF MONEY!!!!..

[connorqb17]

@tiarnan76 Look, I've tried finding stuff about the tallystick on the internet, I couldn't. All I know is it was a way to keep track of money. Yes, money is just something exchanged. But its reallied on in so many ways. There are fundemental flaws an unbacked currency has today. it allows our economy, the total value of all our money to stay at a standstill. Indstead of making another dollar that doesn't get lowered in value, we make one with same value, increasing the value of our currency.

[tiarnan76]

@connorqb17 Look up the documentary called Money Masters youll enjoy it!

[AntiPsychopath]

PROTECT RON PAUL. Sooner or later he will be a threat. PROTECT THIS MAN, he is the last man standing in congress that can inspire the young generation so that they don't become mindless zombies.

[MrGreatLakesBuffalo]

Silver, gold, food and guns and ammo. Then you get to sleep well the rest of your life. Money in the market...worry.

[snyggmikael]

gandalf?

[Calebkoss]

it is about to happen - around Christmas time I bet

[lorerax1]

The web botts said November, some person on Fox news said this past fall there was going to be school riots, I thought it was going to be this past summer. Some doomsday callender said it was going to be this past april or may.

We don't know when its going to happen.

These ppl will do it just when the time is right...or maybe it will be a steady decline. There is no telling what the future may hold, especially if web bots are wrong. Shit happens and change happens.

[koas86]

why in mexico the dollar went up?

[SlipAllCityToy]

@koas86

who cares bout mexico?

its going to be N.A.U

its going to go down in mexico then

[catalystblog]

I am not an american (australian) but I would vote for RP in a flash. Dem and Rep are a myth

[Joelsefur]

Ron Paul is truly one of the only true Americans left... God bless you.

[lorerax1]

1% right?

we only got around 1% of the votes. That's enough hope for me.

[36902698]

WE are tht 1% lol :P

[lorerax1]

But what do we do?

Or maybe the better ? to ask is what do I do, if this truely breeds down deep in my heart?

In the end I would like to see anarchy, but I don't think that's realistic. I think I have to expose the federal reserve or tell ppl I know what I think or what I know. sry- under an extreme amount of stress. I need to tell someone.

[TeslaGenius2]

R.P - the rare U.S politician

[lorerax1]

Currection the dollar is collapsing i have the charts .. im trading in FOREX its unbelievable :( god help us all

[Jacobrester]

The dollar has rallied tremendously in the last 5 months.

[SIERRAHPBT]

look at how far the dollar has collapsed since 2001.. all you see with the dollar rally in the last 5 months is a fake rally that is a rally within a dollar bear market.

during the great depression you had the stock market rally inside its bear market.. the dollar is toast!

[Jacobrester]

The dollar is no more toast than the Euro, the British Pound, the Ruble or just about every other currency in the world.

[KarasCyborg]

WHen the feds set interest rates at 0, it creates a demand for the dollar as foreigners will borrow as much as they can get, convert to another currency, then find an investment vehicle that will pay 2-3% or more. It's a hard find though to find an investment vehicle not backed up by something other than the dollar. But that's why the dollar is still strong for the time being until hyperinflation hits and exchange rates go in the toilet.

[Jacobrester]

The dollar is strong becauise other currencies around the world have been weaker in the past 9 months. I suspect you have tunnel vision concerning the dollar. You focus on it and forget how currencies are valued.

The Euro, British Pound, Ruble and almost every other currency are in the same bad shape as the dollar, some are worse.

[jawnvme]

ummm okay?

[sandman3131]

All the countries that are under the Rothchild/Rockefellar global banking monopoly are HURTING. They print money out of thin air. Backed by nothing and the big banking has stopped lending, forcing global depression.

The ones that have their currency backed by something are doing fine. Like the countries in the middle east.

[Jacobrester]

There is NO country that has their currency backed by precious metals completely. Every currency on earth is a Fiat currency.

[cocacola443]

Check out Liberty Dollars in Coeur d'Alene, ID>..they're trying to market private gold backed paper money, but the FBI has been giving them trouble.

[cocacola443]

Watch the Aaron Russo interview with Alex Jones about Nick Rockefeller....the Rockefellers and other Bilderbergers are intentionally trying to destroy the dollar and get a national ID card (check out the PASS ID Act...it's the resurrection of the REAL ID Act) if they can't manage to chip everyone with RFID chips....and put money on it. But it won't be the U.S. Dollar...

[sandman3131]

Way ahead of you man! Thats awesome. Aaron Russo was a saint.

[affluence8]

I agree. Be safe. Trade safely.

[rosewood223]

the dollar is not collapsing.

he is too pessimistic.

[LepreKhaun406]

are you retarded?

[neo307a]

Can anyone tell me the reason someone would sell gold for American dollars which everyone says is going to be worth less and less?

If gold is such a sure thing and paper money isnt, why on earth would anyone sell their gold for paper money?

I am considering buying gold/silver and I just can't understand the reason for this.

[teemu1381]

good question...I'd like that answer myself

[CrossHeart79]

its funny, the dollar dropped, people lost jobs, the US is near inflation, living standards decreased, and the government and banks gained both money and power

wake up!!! if you Americans dont do anything now they are gonna suffer for it later

this is all part of your governments twisted game, if your government was concerned about the US economy why is he preparing for war with Iran? i would also like to point out that no proof of Iran trying to build nukes was ever found.

[warrencurrier]

The best line to me was:

"The Founders didn't even like democracy"

[quickgene]

We need to stop trying to police the world. Then get our own contry in order. Write in vote Ron Paul.

[brojiml]

Isn't the power of truth amazing? Don't ever believe that one person can't make a difference. Ron Paul supporter since 1987. Whatever happens at the GOP convention, the revolution to restore the Constitution must continue.

[abetelgeuse]

We still have the privledge to write in Ron Paul's name on the Ballots. If everyone, or enough of us do that we still have a chance at saving America.

[Joe39275]

These graphs are given from the GAO, an objective source free from any biases. The very head of the GAO (government accountability office) resigned in order to tell people directly that our welfare state will collapse since the politicians didn't address the issue. Ron Paul is the only one who gives a solution. It might be time for Americans to forget about their Deomocratic/neocon ideals and vote for the future because Ron Paul is the only candidate who offers one.

[MMadmike]

Were paying 4 dollars a gallon for gas not because of supply and demand but because oil is demanding more dollars for a barrel because the dollar is worth nothing. Wakeup people. Get away from the Main stream media.

[bbagginz]

By far the best candidate. And by such a long way too.

All the others are just business-as-usual, populists with no integrity and none appear to have any clue of the economic challenges facing the USA.

Perhaps after the dollar crashes and everybody wakes up, then Ron Paul will get in in 2012.

Best wishes to our cousins in the USA from the U.K

[shostetler]

We need him as president.. Too bad the sheep out there already have endorsed the other 3 stooges
