Wonderful post. Remember when aunts and/or uncles would give you a silver dollar on a birthday or maybe first communion?
In my life I’ve learned to run the other way when anyone said “trust me”. That’s the rattle of a snake-and never more so than in this case.
I liked the ‘silver dollar’ too. But fiat has always been around. I have a $20 bill issued to my great grandfather’s now defunct bank. It looks like a modern $20 but also carries the name of that bank ( Colonial Bank of Roanoke ) on the face of the bill. A century ago banks could deposit US government bonds with the Treasury and receive at least $20 bills with the banks name printed on them from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. It wasn’t a silver certificate but showed the bank’s $20 note was backed by a government bond deposited with the US Treasury. This made it acceptable legal tender to a population used to gold and silver coins.
Of course $20 was a large denomination bill 100 years ago worth more than a $100 today.
Come to think of it, this wouldn’t be a bad idea today and would allow banks to both advertise and issue large denomination bills of $500 or more. Counterfeiters would have a helluva time as they would have to know which bank’s name to add to the bill and merchants and other bankers could simply call or go on line to that bank and verify the serial number on the bills issued by that bank.
I think their whole scam could be avoided if we ‘simply’ rescinded Legal Tender laws-another tragic use of force by “our” government. Would some people get screwed by local bank hustlers? Certainly but it would end the monopoly the banksters now have over all of our lives- which is why it’s never even spoken of.
And now the precious metals markets are 100% manipulated markets with ZERO fundamentals driving them. All to preserve king dollar.
Even without market manipulation the value of gold, silver and copper for coins fluctuated. The idea that you could keep a fixed ratio of gold or silver to equal one dollar was difficult to achieve so you got Gresham’s Law. Gold coins were worth more than silver ones especially after the Comstock Lode in Nevada started gushing silver. In the 1870’s few gold coins were being minted as the California Gold Rush was ending but the US opened a mint in Carson City to make silver dollars.
I imagine something similar happened with copper which was why the US mints stopped making the ‘Large Cent’ by the end of the 1840’s and flailed around in the mid 1850’s with the Flying Eagle 1 cent coin which wasn’t copper before settling with the smaller Indian Head/Lincoln one cent piece for the next 100 years.
WORD!!
“Congress may restrain, by suitable enactments, the circulation as money of any notes not issued under its own authority.”
One of these is not like the other.
7% of firearms used in crimes were bought legally. All of the others were obtained illegally – methods in which gun control laws would have been totally ineffective in preventing access to the firearms. https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/suficspi16.pdf
The greatest theft of all time. All that gold and silver was bought up by the Fed with those first set of notes, and then the gold notes were disavowed in 1933.
This is a small part of a three part 175 page investigation/report done by a friend of mine. I am still reading it in its entirety. He is 81, former military and a retired Pastor and has been studying 911 since it happened. I cannot speak personally to what is here but thought it would interest some on TBP.
GOLD TRADING AND MONEY LAUNDERING INVESTIGATIONS CANCELLED BY DESTRUCTION OF THE WTC
The 23rd floor of the North Tower of the WTC held FBI records pertinent to investigations of international gold movements and violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The stimulus for the FBI investigation was a lawsuit initiated by GATA against a number a major bullion international banks and the former US Secretary of the Treasury.
The lawsuit alleged that these banks conspired to manipulate and artificially depress the price of gold.
The evidence presented by GATA was quite compelling, and suggested that:
1. These parties had used national gold reserves to illegally regulate the price of gold
2. These banks had created a significant risk that threatened the liquidity of all of the key
Players
3. That the national gold reserves had been illegally depleted as a result
KEY POINT: The basis for this suit was analysis of gold market prices and trades that suggested approximately 14,000 tons of paper gold had been artificially created to keep gold prices depressed. This report speculates that gold prices were not being manipulated, but rather 14,000 tons of stolen gold was being illegally laundered.
The logic of what GATA called a scam “on the American citizens and individual gold buyers” was this. Bullion banks “loan” gold to each other at 1% or 2% interest. When they borrow gold to cover needs, they buy a gold future and assign it the lender. Thus the lender always has the “same” amount of gold, except some is ‘paper gold.’ According to GATA, these banks would loan gold to each other, and then sell the real gold, using the proceeds to invest in equities, which paid a higher return. This is a good deal when the investment’s return on the equity is greater than the costs of the increased price of gold. The GATA claim is that this process had been going on secretly for a number of years, with U.S. private banks making hefty profits using U.S. treasury gold. This process is not illegal but fixing prices is.
At some point in the process, these banks had loaned out more gold than could be produced by all the gold mines in the world in the next two and a half years.
Because the world started viewing the dollar as overvalued, there was a move towards gold, which stood to drive the price of gold up – dangerously so. These banks then had to borrow and sell even more U.S. gold, and then (it is contended) brought in the London banks to support them, to keep the price of gold artificially down.
The prices had to be kept artificially low because if there was an actual call on the gold loans by one bank, it would bring them all down like a house of cards.
There was not enough physical gold available to make good on all the futures being held by the banks.
It has been speculated that it was these banks – with a focus on the American banks – somehow brought about an attack on the FBI office, using the cover of the airliner assault to destroy the evidence against them. According to this theory, the attack needed to happen before October 9, 2001, when this lawsuit opened in court. It may be fair to speculate that U.S. bank executives were not worried about being convicted for violation of dubious and ambiguous laws. However – win or lose, this report speculates there was at least one group of bank executives that had plenty of reason to worry if this lawsuit saw the open courtroom, and that is the group that set out to destroy the World Trade Center. These are the executives who were worried that an investigation and trial would expose their gold laundering activity.
KEY POINT: This report speculates that gold being sold on the market was not ‘artificially created,’ but rather was illegal, stolen gold that needed to be laundered.
HOW IS GOLD BEING LAUNDERED
The argument that the attack on the WTC was an attempt to silence an investigation into gold transactions and money laundering has never seriously been considered. In a world that has recently seen reports of the disappearance of 4,000 to 60,000 tons of illegal gold stolen from various national treasuries, no one seems to have asked:
How is this gold being laundered?
The selling behavior demonstrated by the bullion banks could also be interpreted as selling off huge, illegal gold hoards at a previously agreed upon price point. The hypothesis that a large portion of this may be laundered by the Deutsche Bank becomes more compelling when one focuses on the Deutsche Bank, and its possible reasons for wanting this investigation quashed – which no one, except maybe the FBI, has focused on. The Deutsche Bank (along with Dresdner, and U.S. banks) had been conducting gold sales for years, and, indeed, it was speculated in the GATA suit that the European banks in general had illegally dumped large amounts of their reserve gold to buoy up bank profitability.
The question needs to be asked: What if the German banks, primarily the Deutsche Bank – and possibly some American banks, were not selling their gold reserves, but rather laundering gold for its clients? Until this report, there has been no mention of this possibility. Not too long ago, several previous board members of the Deutsche Bank were indicted for helping high profile clients avoid taxes by laundering money into Switzerland. The bank
certainly also had a reputation for the less dignified money laundering activity associated with organized crime and the Chairman of the Deutsche Bank Board admitted the bank “possibly” had been “misused” by these same Russian mafia types, previously linked to the Mossad by this report.
Any serious investigation into illegal gold laundering by the FBI probably would have exposed transactions no one wanted to make public. Any FBI evidence would have to be destroyed, and the investigation stopped. One of the more convenient aspects of the attack on the WTC is that while destroying relevant FBI investigation materials, it also destroyed all U.S. Deutsche Bank records. The original GATA lawsuit was dismissed, and the FBI investigation was ended. A reorganization of the FBI in 2002 refocused agency attention on terrorism, leaving bank crime to “other agencies.”
So it must have been a one, two punch on 9/11 as the loose change video says that when the planes hit actual gold was stolen from the basement of one of the towers.
The gold leasing works only as long as the supply can be maintained and the banks cooperate.
The gold supply is finite and foreign banks outside the financial system acquiring gold on the open market can – and will – severely disrupt fractionalized paper systems at some point if, or when, economic/political conditions degrade inflated fiat currencies.
This is exactly why Russia and China own such large physical reserves and they’re being demonized as military adversaries by the Western media. They’re not playing ball by Western banking standards.
I wouldn’t for a minute doubt a large cache of gold was relocated during a terror attack in order to sustain a failing Western financial system.
Prepare accordingly, it’s just a matter of time.
Here are some more details of the massive scope of the crimes hidden by 911 let alone it itself being the most horrendous, sickening crime ever committed on American soil by Americas and others.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
LINK BETWEEN THE WTC, ILLEGAL GOLD AND MONEY LAUNDERING
The key matter for consideration and inquiry is that, according to John O’Neal, and Sibel
Edmonds, the FBI (whose files were in the WTC North Tower) was denied information by the CIA and Secret Service. The CIA’s files would have been kept in Building Seven. One has to presume that any files relating to financial investigations of money laundering related to “intelligence” operations and the Russian/Israeli mafia around Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan andAfghanistan were kept in Building Seven or Tower 1.
The WTC offices also held investigative information for the Bank of New money laundering scandal, which will later be shown to be intricately linked to covert oil operations in the aforementioned countries. From another perspective, three of the agencies involved in the Enron investigation were housed in the WTC: SEC, the Justice Department, and the FBI. With a great deal of certainty this report concludes that Enron was a major money laundering vehicle for the financial rape of Russia, buying and selling petrochemical contracts from the U.S. subsidiaries of the Russian oligarchs. Both DoD and HUD had contracts with Enron, and those agencies were reported by Rumsfeld (on September 10, 2001) to be unable to account for some $2.2 trillion in funding. The IRS, in Building 7 was looking at Barrick’s offshore hedge book.
“The contention that the destruction of the WTC was used to destroy evidence contained on the 23rd and 24th floors of the North Tower is now incontrovertible. Here is evidence supplied by the Head of Security of the World Trade Center on network television indicating that the floors used by the FBI (22nd, 23rd and 24th floors) of the North Tower — 70 floors below the crash-bombing impact — had been devastated and reduced to debris. This same Head of Security himself dug through the debris to save persons who were trapped there.
It was on these floors that the evidence and investigation briefs on two highly important cases were being stored:
1. The case against Mobil Oil and James Giffen on illegal oil swaps between Iran and Kazakhstan (at that time before a New York grand jury as described in great detail by Seymour Hersh in the July 9 New Yorker magazine);
2. The evidence in the investigation of Gold Price Fixing which stemmed from charges brought
against Alan Greenspan, Morgan & Company and Goldman Sachs. At noon E.P. Heidner received a phone call from New England from a friend who was reviewing recorded footage of coverage of the destruction of the WTC on NBC’s program “48 Hours.” Steve has reviewed the footage many times and taken detailed notes. I took notes at my computer as he spoke. After the south tower collapsed, men went up to the 22nd floor of the WTC and “dug” someone out of the “rubble” he found there. It is known that these floors contained the New York FBI offices.
Peter Jennings actually did a two-day network news story on the effects of the destroyed evidence and files on American financial crime investigations around the world. The 48 Hours anchor was interviewing the Head of Security of the WTC about the evacuation. He had received a call, after the South Tower was down, from the Port Authority’s Command Center on the 22nd floor asking for rescue. The Head of Security himself traveled to that floor in the company of a NY Fireman where they found the offices devastated to the point that they had to “tunnel through debris” to “dig out” the two or three Port Authority workers who were trapped there. All of this happened 73 floors below crash-bombing impact.” [WTC Attack Destroyed Criminal Evidence, Dick Eastman, 10/26/2001]
Eastman’s report is substantiated by other reports from CBS News and an individual chronicler of events. These reports suggest that while one drama unfolded throughout the WTC complex, another drama was unfolding on the 22nd Floor of the North Tower. The result of the loss of this building was a major loss of investigative documentation by U.S. agencies. Agencies known to have lost evidence include the Export-Import Bank (source of loans to Afghanistan and Angola), CIA, SEC, IRS and Secret Service.
INVESTIGATIVE AND EVIDENTIARY AGENCIES IN THE WTC BUILDING 7
•Export-Import Bank of the US – Floor 6
•U.S. Secret Service – Floors 9 & 10
•Securities and Exchange Commission – Floors 11, 12 & 13
•Internal Revenue Service – Floors 24 & 25
•CIA – Floor 25
•Department of Defense – Floor 25
In the key emergency control center of New York in Building 7 (free-fall building), someone gave the order to evacuate the building and the control center. No one knows who gave that order. In the buildings that were supposedly hit by planes, personnel were not given that order, and remained in the control centers until the end. Investigators of financial crimes throughout the U.S. lost evidence in thousands of cases, including original SEC filings falsely reporting the Deutsche Bank’s lack of involvement in the Cayman shell companies of Enron. Talk about destroying evidence. Clinton’s missing emails is nothing compared to the destruction of evidence in the WTC and the Pentagon.
THE UNMENTIONED LOSS OF WTC 6
A key hypothesis of this report is that the attack on the World Trade Center was intended to stop investigations into various forms of money laundering by officials of the U.S. and the Russian/Israeli Mafia. It would not be appropriate to discuss Building 6, which housed U.S. Customs – one of the key U.S. Agencies with responsibility for investigating money laundering.
The fate of Building 6 is ignored in virtually every report available, but the couple
of references found are totally aligned with the hypothesis that these agencies were targeted.
That is some serious important information to know and quite interesting. How can I learn more?
Tony,
I have permission from the author to send the three part report titled:
“There are no ‘Statute of Limitations’ on Fraud” to any individual who requests it, about 175 pages.
It’s recently out from him to over 200 individuals, being forwarded (I’m assuming) by them.
The author has told me he has had some serious government harassment in the past for his past reports, 3 IRS Audits and has had to put layers and layers of protection on his computers.
He has also said to me: “This is the biggest story of 2019 and will be for the century. There is nothing in this that is not already available. I have been archiving tons of data since 9/11.”
If you ask Admin for my e-mail and he sends it to you, contact me and I will forward it.
That goes for anyone else interested, as long as Admin has the time.
Personally, I would like to see another kind of PUMP AND DUMP, this report that is already out there in bits and pieces all over the internet sent to as many NORMIE in baskets as possible. Eyes need to be opened, heads pulled out of asses.
The truth about 9-11 and all the FF’s put in front of everyone.
