Every day I hear some advertisement for the sale of precious metals. Birch Gold, Lear Capital, Oxford Gold Group, Metal Stacks, Advantage Gold, and many more all inform us that the value of our resources is eroding and that the surest way for us to protect the value of those resources is to diversify with gold and silver.Our nation’s founders understood the danger we experience today hundreds of years ago. That is the reason many of our founders and our Constitution’s framers rejected central banking and fiat money.
There were a few who sought to create an American central banking system (Alexander Hamilton being one of the more famous), but it was determined that Americans should have their wealth protected from plunder by our Constitution.
Many agree that it’s reasonable to accept this wisdom, protecting their savings with investments in precious metals, but just how effective could this be?
First of all, very few people suggest investing more than a small portion of our savings in metals. Why?
It is because unless our society descends to “Book of Eli” conditions, gold and silver are very inconvenient as currency. Therefore, each dollar we convert to metals becomes less accessible to us.
Another problem with this situation is that every dollar not in gold or silver remains subject to the constant devaluing assault by the central planners of modern monetary manipulation.
We should ask, “What is the wise reaction to our current currency instability?”
The answer is as obvious as it was to our forefathers in 1789. The correction will not be painless. Conveniences currently enjoyed by Americans would likely be affected adversely, but is the alternative truly acceptable, or even sustainable?
Today our nation’s debt is growing at a rate of one trillion dollars every one hundred days. Trust me, this will be short-lived. If nothing is done to stop it, our national debt will be growing at the rate of two trillion every one hundred days before long.
Some believe that Trump will correct the problem when he regains the presidency, but history is a strong indicator of future behavior.
During the first Trump Administration, our national debt grew to exceed the debt of every administration before it, combined.
It is important to point out that the same had been true of the Obama Administration, the Bush Administration, and so on.
The truth is that as long as the Federal Reserve accommodates the uncontrolled deficit spending of Congress, rubber-stamped by Presidents, The Weimar Republic, Zimbabwe, and Venezuela are the models of our fiscal future.
The present administration is flooding our nation with non-citizens while they spend us into oblivion. They are alienating our nation’s allies and empowering our enemies without limits.
Our courts are rewarding violent criminals and punishing law-abiding citizens, and all of it is being done with resources stolen from the American people through the collusion between the Federal Reserve, Congress, and our president.
Americans complain about the price of eggs, gasoline, rent, home construction, automobiles, etc. Little attention is paid to the enabling principle of “central banking,” or fiat currency.
Most Americans think this is all out of their reach. They resort to complaining and searching for a savior, like Trump. Jesus is our only savior. There will be no one coming to save America unless it is “We The People.”
How did we get into this situation? Was it one thing, or was it a conglomeration of contributing factors?
I believe it is a vast number of little things. As John Adams once said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
Our citizens, and especially our churches’ pastors, have neglected their duty to teach the Bible and its relevance to American history to their families and congregations. These American families and congregations have engaged in lives void of an understanding of their spiritual and moral duty to self-governance.
If Americans continue in this self-imposed ignorance, the fall of our nation is inevitable, but that course is not guaranteed. It is possible to right the ship.
Corse correction will be at least two-fold. It will require a spiritual revival, and it will require a return to legal money. As long as our government’s collusion with central banking continues, wringing every drop of American wealth from the private sector, the end is inevitable and rapidly approaching.
What is needed to arrest the decline, and restore ascendency is to recognize the source of the problem and address it openly.
“Urge all of your men to pray, not alone in church, but everywhere. Pray when driving. Pray when fighting. Pray alone. Pray with others. Pray by night and pray by day. Pray for the cessation of immoderate rains, for good weather for Battle. Pray for the defeat of our wicked enemy whose banner is injustice and whose good is oppression. Pray for victory. Pray for our Army, and Pray for Peace. We must march together, all out for God.”__George S. Patton
God bless you, Dave
The federal government has turned its back on the American people and the best way to curtail government overreach is a “Convention of States” as outlined in Article V of the US Constitution. Sign the petition at conventionofstates.com.
