Video – “Inflation – The Secret Killer”

Here is a short introduction to inflation that I produced because most people are totally unaware or just not aware of what inflation is and how it is actually caused – Enjoy:

Inflation – The Most Unjust of Taxes

The Romans were masters of debasing currency, or coinage as it was back then

Clipped Roman Silver coins – Debasement alive and well long, long ago

Most people, myself included, have been slyly brought up to never think about inflation as a form of direct government taxation. But that is exactly what it is. Make no mistake about that.

You see long ago (in days of olde, when Knights were bold), it became clear that once you start taxing people above the forties rate, at about 45% and above people start to squeal. The Kings, monarchs, princes, and Dukes needed revenues to fund their maniac wars. It became clear that you just can’t keep notching up the rate of taxation – much to the botheration of the ruling classes, as they would just revolt – and that was pretty boring situation to deal with.

I didn’t take long for them to realise that all they had to do what debase the currency. A technical term for removing some of the money from the money itself. Technically it’s called stealing. If you tried this they would throw you in jail.

Back in the day a wedge would be cut out of the coins that were actually made of gold, silver and mixes thereof. If the lord of the manor needed more money he would just legally” debase the coin (currency of the day).

Back then it was bleedin’ obvious that someone had hacked a chunk out of the gold coin. The more sly rulers would actually replace the metals with others.

Today, however the control lords have reached the ultimate form of debasement Nirvana. This is why it cannot last. We are all totally blind to the debasement. There are two ways that are overlords manage this debasement:

  • Money Printing (so-called Quantitative Easing)
  • Fractional Reserve Banking

so to conclude – Inflation is used and manipulated by Government to it’s own ends for at least half a millennium and that is a hard drug to give up.

We no longer have a sound economic financial system – It has long been replaced by a dysfunctional Ponzi Scheme.

Make ready your plans.

“Stop Thief!” – I am Being Robbed Blind!

We are surrounded by the Thievery Coporation - arm yourself with knowledge, a plan and take action now!

The Master Thief – But just who is it?

Most of humankind are being fleeced everyday and for the most part they are not even aware of it. Let me elaborate if I may. In fact this has gone on for so long (longer than anyone alive can remember), and so consistently that people now think that this is normal. However, I am here to tell you – this is anything but.

Question: What was the price of an ounce of Gold in USD on May 1st 1933?

Answer: 20.67 USD/Ounce

Ok, so another question – just to make the point.

Question: What was the price of an ounce of Gold in USD on May 1st 2013?

Answer: 1,400 USD/Ounce (approx.)

So what’s the deal here?

The point is easier to understand if we invert the numbers and take the reciprocal (i.e.divide 1/[gold-price]). Refer to the following table:

Gold Price-Change Overview (1933 – 2013)

Gold Price-Change Overview (1933 – 2013)

Now it’s a bit clearer to see what is going on. In 1933 one US Dollar would buy you 1/20th on an ounce of pure gold.

But if you try that today, you are only going to get 1/1400 on ounce of Gold.

Struth, I have been robbed! And you have been unless you took the time to buy a little Gold and/or Silver.

Back in 1933 the US Dollar was really pretty valuable (compared to today at least!).

So just how do you think this grand theft took place? Have a ponder and I will cover more next time. Till then, “Keep Stackin’ ” …

Quote – Denis Healey on Tax Evasion

Denis-Healey

“The difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion is the thickness of a prison wall”

– Denis Healey (former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer 1974 – 1979)

Tax avoidance is simply clever financial planning, while tax evasion is illegal. Of course, governments would say that wouldn’t they?

Video – The Creature from Jekyll Island (G. Edward Griffin)

This is a must watch video. If you really want to know how we got here, in the financial mess that we are in today, then you need to watch this video and understand exactly how we got here.

The Federal Reserve System is the greatest scam of all history – Because it is NOT:

  • Federal
  • a Reserve (there are no Financial Reserves)
  • a System (it is New York based – with the illusion of National presence)

[videojs mp4=”http://raginggoldenbull.s3.amazonaws.com/video/The%20Creature%20From%20Jekyll%20Island%20%28by%20G.%20Edward%20Griffin%29.mp4″ poster = “http://raginggoldenbull.s3.amazonaws.com/video/CreateFromJekyll.png” height = “360” width = “480”][/videojs]

Mr Griffin sites seven reasons why the Federal Reserve System shoul be abolished:

  • It is incapable of acheiving it’s stated objectives
  • It is a Cartel – Operating against the public interest
  • It is the Supreme instrument of Usery
  • It generates our most unfair tax
  • It encourages war
  • It destabilises the economy
  • It is an instrument of Totaliterianism

It’s long weighing in at 105 minutes – but Mr Griffin is a master public speaker, a diligent researcher, and above all it is highly entertaining piece that everyone should hear.

And know this – You can watch/listen to this video much quicker than it took Mr Griffin the years of painstaking research, or ever to read his weighty tome as the same (which is a MUST read, btw ;-)).

Split it into two parts if you must, or more, but make sure you understand all that is in this great, great lecture.

A closing thougt from Mr Griffin:

Federal Reserve System does not need to be audited…  It needs to be abolished!

 

I hear you Mr Griffin!

Quote – John Adams on Enslavement

The 2nd president on the United States - John Adams

A wise and learned man from Braintree – that spoke much truth about politics

 

“There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.”

— John Adams

Note: there are claims that John Adams never actually said this. Even so, it is a great quote – wish that I had said it … 😉

Quote – Voltaire on The Real Value of Paper Money

Voltaire

a sketch of the young Voltaire

Voltaire – A hell of a guy

 

“Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value – zero.”

Voltaire believed back in the 1700’s that paper money was worthless – Did he know that the Federal Reserve was coming later down the road of time?

François-Marie Arouet, known by his nom de plume Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, historian and philosopher, and someone who understood that paper money was not really money. Yep, we know that too now …

Quote – Ludwig von Mises on the Final Collapse

Ludwig von Mises

 

Austrian Economist Ludwig von Mises

Austrian School Economist – Ludwig von Mises

 

“There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.”

“You have to choose between trusting the natural stability of gold and the natural stability and honesty of the members of the government. And with due respect for these gentlemen, i advise you as long as the capitalist system lasts, to vote for gold.”
