The Golden Truth: Must-Watch Interview With Ron Paul

Must-Watch Interview With Ron Paul

Hot off his straw-poll win at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans, NBC's Today Show interviews Mr. Paul this morning. I consider this significant to Paul's campaign, because the demographic that watches the Today Show is an important voter demographic and, correct if I'm wrong, I do not believe that Mr. Paul had this kind of high profile media exposure in 2008:

Also: RIP to Clarence Clemmons, who was the driving force in the sound behind Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and helped Springsteen catapult into huge fame in the late 1970's.

"I want to legalize freedom, what's so bad about that?"

Awesome line.

Hi - thx again for blog.

Today Zerohedge has a piece again about the astonishing demand for phyzz. I had to dig up this interview with an Indian woman and there is one answer in there that will explain all. As westerners we are gravitating to that answer still.

http://www.caseyresearch.com/cdd/lessons-gold-india

The question and answer...

"Jeff: Do other factors affect why Indians buy gold?

Shanta: The stock market has recently fallen from a lot of corruption cases, so the people are increasingly interested in gold.

The Emerging New Monetarism: Gold Convertibility To Save The Euro

Gold convertibility would save not only the Euro but all paper currencies. This includes the U.S. dollar. Soon the focus will turn to the legitimacy of stated gold reserves.

Professor Robert Mundell urges gold convertibility for the euro, the currency which he fathered, as well as for the dollar. This is a major step forward. Thought leaders are abandoning “old monetarism,” which was vainly fixated on quantity. Even its chief proponent, Milton Friedman, acknowledged old monetarism as unsuccessful in a 2003 interview with the Financial Times. An emerging “new monetarism” is quickly taking its place — one that focuses on the quality, not quantity, of money.

Empirical data suggest that the gold dollar represents the epitome of quality. As Forbes’ own Steve Forbes advised the presidential candidates last week, the “debate should be focused on what the best gold system is, not on whether we need to go back on one.”

Early Signs of Physical World Breakdown

I am starting to see some early signs of physical breakdown. In Europe Agriculture and Energy, In Japan as a result of Fukushima, in NY in regards to Wall Street jobs, in Washington in regards to pensions, and in the US in terms of medicine and access to medicine.

You think this might ramp up the velocity of money???

Europe's Problems - US Money Funds and Politics

My thoughts on this:

When I look at the list of banks and the countries that they are
domiciled in my first thought is;

“Don’t worry. These banks WILL NOT default on short-term IOU’s to US MMFs.

So what did I do after coming to the conclusion that this was not a
solvency issue and that I needn’t worry about it? I took a decent
chunk of money out of MMFs. I bought Bills.

(Dave) LOL

FYI for anyone who reads this and saw the list of mining stocks in Ron Paul's portfolio: Most of the names are pretty lame. His adviser sucks. The only one I didn't know was Virginia Mines and I looked at it yesterday and today and I do not find it to be compelling at all unless it goes back to around $4....I think his adviser reads too many newsletters...

AND he didn't have ECU, which I posted on and recommended when it was in the .70's not too long ago.

Buona serata a tutti

re: ECU. Thanks. I took some profits on holding in our fund. It's our largest position and it still is, but I sold some of the shares that I bought around the .70 level. If it pullsback into the low .90's and it looks like the whole market is stable, I will add back even more than I sold.

I still believe the biggest ride in this stock is yet to come.

The corporate state has nothing to offer the left or right.

“Most of us will struggle to make a living while the Blankfeins and our political elites wallow in the decadence and greed of the Forbidden City and Versailles. These elites do not have a vision. They know only one word: more. They will continue to exploit the nation, the global economy and the ecosystem.”

The way to learn how to support Ron Paul is to sign up for info on his email list at http://www.ronpaul2012.com/sign-up-for-newsletters

Then donate a few $.

Anyone who lives in a caucus state and claims to support Ron Paul must "man up" and go to their GOP caucus. If you don't know what this means, then you must learn about it if you want to support Ron Paul.

I wish Ron Paul would just pull out the 10th Amendment when the media and others try to portray him as somehow "radical".

Here it is in its ENTIRETY: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

That's 28 words and most of them are 2 or three letter fillers. Every American capable of graduating from high school should be able to comprehend it without difficulty. WHERE IS THE ROOM FOR "INTERPRETATION" into the monstrous Federal Leviathan we have today? What is unclear? For those who are dull, skeptical, or like to twist words, the the Founders' copious writings exist to prove that the 10th was intended to mean EXACTLY what it appears to mean: that a government anything like what we have today is completely and unequivocally ILLEGAL.

I strongly support Ron Paul, and I appreciate this site. I just wish Ron Paul and those who favor the Constitution would FOCUS on, and repeat, a few basics which are really beyond "opinion".

We shouldn't be fighting a rear-guard defense against those who oppose the Bill of Rights, we should be calling them on the carpet, calling them for what they are, and publicly shaming them for their ignorance or perfidy. The 10th Amendment is Occam's Razor for deciding who is American and who is only TECHNICALLY American. Defense of liberty is NOT an opinion and certainly not a quirk for those who purport to favor the Constitution.

Why Gold?

Gold is the world's oldest currency. You exchange your fiat currency (dollars, euros, yen, yuan) into gold as an insurance policy against catastrophic Central Bank and Government policies which serve to destroy the value of fiat currencies and destroy democracy.

Gold can ONLY be considered an investment to the extent that it remains significantly and historically undervalued in relation to the fiat currencies against which its value is measured. Otherwise it remains the world's oldest currency and is completely free from the counterparty risk associated with currency by Government fiat (i.e. fiat currencies rely on a Government's "full faith and credit.")

Quote Of The Month Courtesy of "Jesse"

Unfortunately for Larry Summers, Ben Bernanke, and their friends at the BIS, they have not yet figured out how to print physical gold, silver, and other essential commodities, and the world is reaching the point where it might simply start ignoring the New York based markets with respect to essential commodities such as basic materials, oil, foodstuffs, and the like, as they become increasingly irrelevant, fraudulent, and Orwellian. And then where will the financial engineers be, except with no more excuses and no place to hide?

Here is the link to his entire commentary, well worth a read:

Great Quote From Jim Rogers On Govt CPI Reporting

JR: I mean, we have inflation now. If you go to the shop, whether it’s groceries, or education or insurance or health care, prices are going up for everything. The government lies about it in the US. Some countries lie, many countries don’t: Australia, China, India and Norway. Many countries don’t lie about it and acknowledge that we have inflation. Others lie about it, the UK and the US, but if you go shopping you know prices are up.

Q: Are you saying that the American Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics is a lie?

JR: In my opinion, yes, of course it is. Have you looked at it? They’ve changed their accounting several times in the past few decades. When housing was 20% to 25% of the CPI and housing was going up, they didn’t count it, saying rents weren’t going up, and then when home prices started going down, they counted it. It’s the same with many things. It’s staggering some of the tortuous reasoning that the BLS has used over the past 25 or 30 years. When the price of gasoline goes up, they say it’s not really going up because it’s better gasoline, better quality, therefore you’re getting more for your money. I mean, it’s endless, the stuff that they say and for some reason people sit there, although more and more people are catching on, and accept what the government says.

Quote of the Week

"The primary function of a Central Bank is to engage in the massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy elite. The Federal Reserve was set up to do this with the blessing and support of Congress." - Dave in Denver

If you refuse to believe the above, please read "The Creature From Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve" by G. Edward Griffin and then explain to me why the Senate voted down the Vitter Amendment and Congress refuses to pass a law requiring a full audit of the Fed, even though the Fed is using taxpayer-backed money to bailout Wall Street and Europe.
