New York Times: "Be Careful Wishing for the Fed’s End"

[emazur]

Page 1 is decent, page 2 is where gold is attacked. The Jekyll Island meeting is mentioned - all of those panics that supposedly can be blamed on gold are explained in The Creature from Jekyll Island, which unfortunately this author did not read or chooses to ignore

The gold standard — which John Maynard Keynes termed a “barbarous relic” — led to ruinous deflations. When gold reserves contracted, so did the money supply. David Moss, a Harvard Business School professor, asserts that the United States experienced more banking panics in the years without a central bank than any other industrial nation, often when people feared for the quality of paper; specifically, it experienced them in 1837, 1839, 1857, 1873 and 1907.

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years…It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”

- David Rockefeller, Bilderberg meeting, June 1991, Baden, Germany.

Why do they keep saying we want a gold standard.

I'd like to see a requirement for 100% reserve banking as well as competing currencies.

Thanks NYT. More gold for me, less gold for the masses!

;)

I get worried when all the big media outlets start going pro-gold/pro-silver. Makes me think that the general public is going to make a run on it with all their Wal Mart money.

Be careful allowing others the ability to print up what ever it takes to get their way.

We have evidence that Rockefeller is a global conspirator (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YoUtA-EiIY), but there's no hard evidence for this quote, it just gets passed around, some attributing to a Bilderberg meeting or Trilateral meeting for which no record exists. Even the John Birch Society, which is usually good about researching stuff, has used this unproven quote.

Propaganda.

No way. This is America. D00d, land of the free, home of the brave, where propaganda doesn't exist because we are free.

America. Fuck yeah!

[IDefendThePlatform]

Its all about getting competing currencies going. Liberty dollar getting shut down set us back at least a decade, but RP's competing currencies act would be huge to get us back on the right path.

Here in Spain, the traditional press was starting to be in problems because of the competition of the Internet alternatives. They were starting to lose money. So the politicians decided that it was necesary (for the common good obviously) to start subsidizing it. They wont let the opinion creators go that easily, its that simple. School indoctrination and media indoctrination are the bases of the corporatist system.

:gag:

Fucking asshole. It was because the goddamn bankers were allowed to print up fake assed money (like we have now) that was well beyond their gold reserves. Ya know, counterfeiting. Ruinous deflations, what a fucking CROCK. I want some ruinous deflation so that $20 in my pocket will get me more than a couple of meals.
