I don't believe that Ron Paul supporters understand the severity of "the Fed" being bankrupt, or at the very least way under the worth that the Fed claims to hold. Supposedly Fort Knox also holds massive amounts of raw opium and morphine than any other place in the world. If Fort Knox is just being used to fluxuate the value of the dollar in the gold and drug markets, and it was exposed, you better have your own army ready to die for your survival cuz America and its allies would collapse

Nothing will come of this...the Rothschild crime family owns the majority of the Federal Reserve, along with 7 other Jewish families...why would they allow this "audit" to take place?

@NurseMeister Two bad you could not be a SURGEON or OBGYN like DR. RON PAUL. He has a army of supporters that the media suppresses. What the hell have you done, he delivered over 4,000 babies and still served 12 terms in the house.
@NurseMeister well i guess your the man to go and find out where all that money went and who authorized it, or maybe you think taking loans off china to stay afloat is a good thing and we don't need to know what the hell went wrong. so lets talk about how much money your going to make off this deal. lol by the time you get your cut prices will be so high it will be pointless, unless you have money in a chinese bank hahaha.

@plwpahi When we are discussing amounts of US obligations somewhere between $117 trillion and a quarter Quadrillion, bickering about how many trifling pennies are or are not in Fort Knox is silly.

i think its funny humans you are so dumbed down this man in the government seys get rid of the PATRIOT Act! yet all you people are talking about him being president.he is telling you people to stop watching tv and helping him out cause only you can stop the police state and patriot act can only be taken away if you do something and yet you still do nothing but talk on youtube SHEEPLE.if you want me to be wrong do something and show us im wrong,if you do nothing im right
FYI: -real name of the so-called phony-front FederalReserve-Sys. is actually the criminal Rothschild/Bank-System, which also owns the IRS(InternalRevenue-System), this hyjacking of our usTreasury transpired in 1913 when the jewZionists defied our usConstitution & BoR's and installed Mafia-agents throughout our governmental infrastructure! The janitor that mops floors in Ft.Knox remarked recently- "Shucks, it's a lot easier to use the floor-polisher now that the place is empty...!!!"
Just move the Tanks into the Fort Knox depository and use it as a garage...Its empty anyhow, might as well use the building....The museum next store could use more storage for their tanks !
the government is roughtly 100 trillion in debt (unfunded mandates)
now would be agood time to promote a constitutional candidate.. he'll declare the debt null.. oh wait.. thats why they pimp ron paul on fox and cnn daily
The New World Order will be easy to institute when the masses of the world are totally indebted to the World Bank.Bankrupt everyone then make them dependant on the Central Banks=N.W.O.This financial meltdown was planned.
@noado51 Yep; but, it was planned because the US could not be taken down militarily It had to be overthrown from within - which is where the globalists came in. They rammed free-trade down our throats against our will and will not reverse course no matter how much we threaten them. Free trade destroyed the economy. And those people are traitors and should be thusly dealt with.
Comrade, as long as we have the Federal Reserve, we're no better than Marxist-Leninists. Instead of the Communist 5-year plan for industry, we have central planning for the money supply, and the plutocrats just love socialism, (Ahem!), I mean capitalism.
Vote for the candidate who doesn't or won't accept millions of dollars of bribery in the form of "campaign contributions". In other words, vote third party candidate.
voting does not work. either way you vote, which ever party gets in, they are all controlled by the big business party. we need government? i can run my life without the help of Big Brother. i don't need government to take care of me cradle to grave. NO THANK YOU! but hey if you like being treated like a baby your whole life by the government, that's your choice. Enjoy your slavery. PEACE
You can vote for Ron Paul for President in 2012. Or you can do what the majority does: vote for the typical corporate-sponsored, bright-smiling, back-stabbing candidate and kiss your Bill of Rights goodbye. Oh, and if you hate having extra money, don't vote for Ron Paul. Let the IRS cut your paycheck in half. Some of you need Congress to act as your parent because you can't think for yourselves. You love being told what to do! You love it!
@MishuTaste - or you can kick the congress out and vote in liberty-minded lawmakers.... something that is much more important than ron paul for president. ron paul would rather see the people take control of congress and shrink the executive down to its constitutional size. we need to get real and focus on congress, not the president...
@bedtime4bonzo I totally agree. It seems like his son, Rand, has the best shot. If every liberty-minded American could concentrate his/her resources to one candidate at a time, they'd make a BIG difference in Congress over a period of time.
What do you put in place of the fed if you do get rid of it? The IMF? Because the powers that be would either infiltrate the new organization or a globalist one would be set in place to control our monetary funds.
@Hauteur723 You put the MARKET in it's place. The market can way more effectively set interest rates than any human ran institution.
If banks reserves get low, they raise interest rates to encourage more savings (Which is what should be happening now... but because we have the Fed, we keep interest rates low to encourage more spending and less savings... which is what got us into the recession in the first place!)
Jefferson fought hard against a Central Bank, and Jackson destroyed the 2nd one
@Hauteur723 ...and this is the challenge of representative government, for people to represent themselves against the interests of the state. unless you are an anarchist, government is a necessary evil. to make ours work at its best requires civic participation, voting, constitutionality, etc....
@Hauteur723 - to answer your specific question though, congress should coin money, and back it, and we should assume our debt rather than monetizing it and creating more debt. rates should be set by the market.
Allowing competing currencies is absolutely great, valid and historically proven method to get away from the dollar. It's likely gold would win because it has all the properties of a solid currency. The only real problem with gold , is that countries that have large reserves would have leverage over the USA because the USA has much less in comparison to some countries.
gold does have practical uses. it has unique chemical properties, making it an effective conductor of heat and electricity, useful for protection against some types of radiation, doesn't tarnish. and artwork/jewelry of course. it has uses for the most primitive to the most advanced civilization. it is a damn fine method of currency.
@zapproowsdower i heard some were that they are researching a new tech that uses gold and some science to create massive amounts of electrical energy. and currently alot of your computers internals are connected with micro wires of gold ...just look at your hardware and see all those gold lines. also why i think they are devaluing gold atm. just a personal feeling after hearing about these shenanigans in the gold market for the last5 years or so
I like Ron but some times I question why he pushes gold so hard, it's really not worth anything except what people pay for it, our money is not based off of gold anymore.
@TheLordtaiko Actually it's paper bills that aren't actually worth anything. Gold is a literal, concrete item of worth; whereas paper bills are basically just imaginary worth. Almost every kind of paper money has eventually become so inflated that it loses all worth and has to be phased out.
@TheLordtaiko the point that Ron Paul wants to get across to people is that it is better (in his eyes) to have the value of money attached to something tangible and real (gold) rather than something intangible (debt).
@TheLordtaiko It is because our money isn't our money anymore. The former U.S. Dollar is replaced by Federal Reserve Notes. The Dollar being based off metals and the FRN being based on promise to pay or credit. This is why we need to get back to the original Dollar that can be redeemed for metals. End The Fed!
@TheLordtaiko Whats the difference between a dollar, and the yen? Or a peso and a pound? What is the difference between all those, and gold. Ever heard of Gresham's law? You keep the bad money, I'll keep the good and spend the bad.
@username0u812ic That simply isn't true, but regardless of course there will be other currencies. That doesn't change anything. That is why you spend the bad money and keep the good.
@RageAgainstNWO the migration from the 3rd world will continue, the globalists want to balkanize the united states. divide and conquer, keep the little people bickering about race or politics, makes them easier to manipulate.
@TheLordtaiko It doesn't have to be gold specifically. We could just as well trade in silver or copper or sea shells or feathers or whatever. The thing he is pushing for is that the market will determine what goods will be used as money, and what interest rates banks will have, etc.
@return135 I like the sound of that, but that sounds something Lew, or Walter Block would write. Even Hoppe doesn't "disapprove" of small States (ie Lichtenstein, Switzerland." Or even a seceded/decentralized Amerika. (50 individual countries.)
Dr Paul only opposes The State as big as it is now. In a true sense of the term, he is (Like Jefferson & Madison) a Federalist.
@Weapon01 maybe, although i have heard him say in an interview that his ultimate goal is individual secession, which is a pretty anti-state position to take.
@return135 I think I'm aware of that interview, though I understood it as he approves of political-secession in that the States just ignored the Feds and their demands.
Like the income tax. "We're just not going to send you our money" (Fiat or otherwise.)
Gun Laws, "We'll decided what guns we'll posses." (Even the big fast scary ones!)
@Weapon01 Jefferson and Madison were not Federalists, they founded the REPUBLICAN party. A Republic still has a Federal government, or else it is not actually 1 body, the difference is that Federalists want a lot of power in the Federal Government but Republicans want maximum state's rights. Madison did write a few Federalist papers but they were at the time arguing for having a Federal government, only later did they want to make it really powerful, after which Jefferson and Madison split away.
I don't believe that Ron Paul supporters understand the severity of "the Fed" being bankrupt, or at the very least way under the worth that the Fed claims to hold. Supposedly Fort Knox also holds massive amounts of raw opium and morphine than any other place in the world. If Fort Knox is just being used to fluxuate the value of the dollar in the gold and drug markets, and it was exposed, you better have your own army ready to die for your survival cuz America and its allies would collapse

@TheLordtaiko It doesn't have to be gold specifically. We could just as well trade in silver or copper or sea shells or feathers or whatever. The thing he is pushing for is that the market will determine what goods will be used as money, and what interest rates banks will have, etc.

@Weapon01 Ron's next book should be, END THE STATE!

@return135 I like the sound of that, but that sounds something Lew, or Walter Block would write. Even Hoppe doesn't "disapprove" of small States (ie Lichtenstein, Switzerland." Or even a seceded/decentralized Amerika. (50 individual countries.)
Dr Paul only opposes The State as big as it is now. In a true sense of the term, he is (Like Jefferson & Madison) a Federalist.

@Weapon01 maybe, although i have heard him say in an interview that his ultimate goal is individual secession, which is a pretty anti-state position to take.

@return135 I think I'm aware of that interview, though I understood it as he approves of political-secession in that the States just ignored the Feds and their demands.
Like the income tax. "We're just not going to send you our money" (Fiat or otherwise.)
Gun Laws, "We'll decided what guns we'll posses." (Even the big fast scary ones!)
And so-on...

@Weapon01 Jefferson and Madison were not Federalists, they founded the REPUBLICAN party. A Republic still has a Federal government, or else it is not actually 1 body, the difference is that Federalists want a lot of power in the Federal Government but Republicans want maximum state's rights. Madison did write a few Federalist papers but they were at the time arguing for having a Federal government, only later did they want to make it really powerful, after which Jefferson and Madison split away.
