A Golden Anchor for the Dollar

Fractional reserve banking is a big part of the problem the Federal Reserve Note currently suffers. When a so-called bank, like Goldman Sachs or any of the Federal Reserve member banks, can simply state, for example, their books are 10 times greater than the reality, that is a major problem and allows for serious imbalances in the economy and the financial system. Eliminate fractional reserve banking and inflation would collapse and our economy would begin to improve almost overnight. The too big to jail banks would all collapse, which used to be called capitalism. When a privately owned company acts irresponsible and these banks are nothing more than another private company, like a neighborhood hardware store, plumbing company or auto repair shop, when they get themselves into financial trouble they should go bankrupt and not be “saved” by the people, the people’s taxes nor any other public means.

The greatest period of growth the world has ever seen was during the classic gold standard period between 1792 (Coinage Act was introduced) to 1934. The Federal Reserve, under Ben Bernanke, admitted to engineering the Great Depression, which in turn, is an admission of destroying the global economy and global financial system for personal gain. The hijacking of our economy and financial system by the Federal Reserve in 1913 set in motion 99% of the economic problems we are dealing with today. Eliminate the Federal Reserve and return the issuance of currency back to the people – Congress/U.S. Treasury – where it belongs according to the Constitution and our economy and financial system would have a better opportunity of returning to health instead of what we have today, which is nothing more than corruption, malfeasance and a stock market that is having a “front loaded wealth effect“ , according to former Dallas Federal Reserve President, Richard Fisher. Full disclosure of the ESF (Exchange Stabilization Fund) and returning this currency back to the people and eliminating any and all laws, bills, acts, rules and/or regulations supporting the ESF would be another step in the right direction.

Dr. Coats states the price of the “anchor” – gold – was a weakness. Weakness for who? The economy was robust, growing and innovation between 1792 and 1934 was one of the largest expansions of global economies the world has ever seen. Not sure that I see this as a weakness.

How would this work? Is Dr. Coats proposing 10-30 “Ft Knox’ ” or FRBNY (Federal Reserve Bank New York) built around the country or how exactly could this “basket” be accountable for the value of currency? The rules of a gold and silver standard are already laid out and work just fine. The only problem is the bank doesn’t benefit and the currency is not corrupted when these rules are utilized. From my perspective this is a win-win.

This is another part of the overall problem – this allows for corruption, manipulation and banks to get their hands on our currency, the overall economy and financial systems. Gold and silver have served as money and currency for thousands of years and the banks and their minions have been attempting to manipulate the entire system for the past several hundred years. They have been successful, but the people are awakening to their deception.

Enter cryptocurrencies. This is a direct reflection of the people revolting against the current corrupt-to-the-core-system. People are willing to gamble with their future in order to move away from what the pirates at the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and all the other Rothschild’s owned central banks have created. There are millions of people, around the world, willing to try something completely different that is seen as a way of taking back their freedom and human rights that have been stolen by the banks.

Historically, gold and silver standards obliged the monetary authority to buy and sell its currency for actual gold or silver. If the dollar price of gold in the market were higher than its official price, people would buy gold at the central bank increasing its market supply and reducing the money supply until the market price came down again. These precious metals had to be stored and guarded at considerable cost. More importantly, taking large amounts of gold and silver off the market distorted their price by creating an artificial demand for them. A new gold standard would see the relative price of gold rising over time due to the increasing cost of discovery and extraction. The fixed dollar price of gold means that the dollar prices of everything else would fall (deflation). While the predictability of the value of money is one of its most important qualities, stability of its value, such as approximately zero inflation, is also desirable.

Indirect redeemability eliminates these shortcomings of the traditional gold standard. Indirect redeemability means that regulation of the money supply does not require transacting in the actual anchor goods or commodities. Assets of equal market value can be exchanged by the monetary authority when issuing or redeeming its currency. Market actors will still have an arbitrage profit incentive to keep the supply of money appropriate for its official value.
Dollars might be issued and redeemed against U.S. Treasury bills equal in value to the anchor bundle of goods (the valuation basket). If the market value of the goods in the basket were higher than one dollar, anyone could buy them more cheaply by redeeming dollars for them at the Fed. But such arbitrage works just as well when indirectly redeeming dollars for the basket using, for example, an equivalent value of U.S. treasury bills. If, for example, the basket cost $1.20 in the market, anyone could buy $1.20 worth of T-bills from the Fed for only one dollar. This arbitrage- induced contraction of the money supply would reduce prices in the market until a dollar’s value in the market was the same as its official valuation basket value. As the economy grew and the demand for money increased, this mechanism would increase the money supply as people sell their T-bills to the Fed for additional dollars.

Gold and silver are currently stored in Ft. Knox and FRBNY and I believe a couple of other Federal Reserve vaults. These vaults and cost are already on the books. Dr. Coats’ argument is assuming inflation would be the same as it is today – on a fast moving, upward trajectory – gold reigns in inflation due to the amount of gold coming to market each year – approximately 2-3% per annum. This is much more stable than the current 8-9% inflation and would be a stable number as long as miners continue mining gold. The necessary adjustments for inflation, cost of living adjustment, could be made – if it were necessary – for the upcoming fiscal year in Q4 of the current fiscal year as the cost of living inflation metric would be known – see classic gold standard years between 1792 and 1934.

Under the classic gold standard inflation was not hurting anyone as it was already reigned in with the stable price of gold for the entire 142 year span. Manipulating this current system that has only existed since 1971 – with lots of inflation, bubble economics and economic collapses – is no longer working for the people. It will continue to work brilliantly for the banks and corporations. If the banks and corporations wish to continue down this road of corruption, manipulation and theft the people will continue to devise ways of moving away from this type of system. As they say, the “Genie is out of the bottle.” In this case, the “Genie” is becoming educated to gold/silver, money/currency, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. If the banks and corporations wish to keep the people on their side, they should start acting like we matter. 2018 through 2020 are going to be banner years for the people. A return to Constitutional money and a complete elimination of fractional reserve banking and the Federal Reserve system would curb, but not stop, the paradigm shift that is beginning to unfold.

Were the people allowed a five year transition period to “adjust” their books to new laws, rules, regulations or acts that were introduced by the banks – like the Federal Reserve Act in 1913? Absolutely not. The too big to jail banks were given a reprieve in 2008 and they have squandered the last decade participating in more manipulation, more corruption and more theft instead of getting their act together and doing the right thing. Let them fold and move to the dust bin of history where they should have went in 2008.

The green areas of the map below represent the nations that are currently working with China and Russia either individually or collectively. The economic alliances that are being formed, around the world, basically, do not include the nations that are vassals of the U.S. These nations are so dependent on the Federal Reserve Note, the “leaders either believe they can not rise up or the corruption is so engrained into their system they refuse to rise up.

What is happening, right now, with Russia and China and their desire to reintroduce gold to the monetary system and completely eliminate the world reserve currency system from global trade. Thus eliminating all leverage from the Federal Reserve Note making it nothing more than just another bank note with zero monetary influence and impact on other currencies.

The world needs a gold standard and needs for the parasitic banking system to be eliminated. People the world over are beginning to stand up and demand change. I just hope we don’t move out of the frying pan and into the fire.
