Why Neither Gold Nor Silver Hold Any Answers


By Anna Von Reitz

For the last several months people have been wanting to argue over the pros and cons of silver versus gold standards to base monetary values on and so far as that goes, silver is the obvious choice.  It's our traditional form of money and it is the least subject to manipulation.  I have said that from Day One when the whole issue of precious metals-backed forms of money came up, and I still say so. 

However, as I attempted to make clear in my discussion about The Goat Standard, nearly anything that has actual value can serve as a standard for exchange: a sin, a female goat, and $200 have the same value in the current system of things, and it doesn't much matter how you cut it. 

The ridiculousness of the whole concept should be apparent given that example, but judging from some of the responses I've gotten, there are still those who just don't get the joke.  

They know that the present monetary system is bogus and can cite chapter and verse for why it is bogus.  The "secret" of the Federal Reserve is now well-known: check kiting is what the rest of us call it.  And insurance is revealed to be nothing but legalized gambling.  In fact, the entirety of the banking industry is now known to be a criminal enterprise aimed at theft of various kinds, fraud of various kinds, and enslavement of various kinds. 

So--- now you think that "going back to the gold and/or silver standard" is the answer?

Think again. 

First, there is vastly more gold already mined than the rats are admitting.  Tons of it.  Miles of tunnels filled with it.  Huge, vast, mindless quantities of gold.  You haven't seen it, but I have. 

Second, there are now means to extract endless additional quantities of gold from common materials.  Gold can be extracted from sand, from crushed glass, from sea water--- you name it, and gold can be extracted from it.  There is an endless supply of gold available now, just as there is an endless supply of paper money.  And again, you haven't seen that, but I have.

The rats in charge are all ready to spring this new twist on gold and have you buying in at over a thousand dollars per ounce.  They will try to make you believe that gold is very scarce and valuable.  They won't tell you how much of it they already have stored up.  They won't reveal how easily they can extract more on demand.  This is all designed to make you think that gold has value because it is supposedly rare and in finite supply, when its not.

It's just a slightly different version of the same old schtick.  And, the same kinds of processes can be applied to producing silver.  So there is no long term cure to be had from precious metals.  Or from paper.  Or from goats.

The take home point is that we need to totally rethink the concept of money and the way we symbolize value and what we value. 

When we value external things, we make ourselves slaves of those things.  We have all seen this, we have all been victimized by it, and yet hardly anyone seems able or willing to look it squarely in the face.  We have been living as slaves to pieces of paper and numbers in bank ledgers.  Will we now live as slaves to little pieces of metal and more numbers in bank ledgers?  Ah......duh?

The essence of idolatry is that you take something in the external world and raise it up to be a god over you, whether it is a coin, a piece of paper, a goat,  a religious relic or a dictator.  It hardly matters what form the idol takes.

Somehow, we have to grow beyond this infantile condition of self-enslavement and delusion, this kink in our logic circuits.  In order to do that, we must become aware of the problem and of the truth. 

The problem is that we very easily lose track of the difference between the symbol of value and the value itself.  The truth is that until we can come to a more sane and mature basis of symbolizing value, we will be prey to criminals who operate as middlemen controlling the perceived value of these symbols and limiting our access to them.

How many here want to spend the rest of your days bowing and scraping to criminals?  Doing their bidding because they control the supply of "genuine" pieces of paper or pieces of metal, either one?

This is why I have said for a long time that we need to have a world standard coinage or currency or both, which is based on the value of all natural resources, all commodities in trade, and all labor on Earth.  This is the only way to have "honest" money that is immune to hoarding and speculation and manipulation. 

Imagine what would happen if we made goats the standard of value?  Everyone would suddenly be raising goats and turning out goats as fast as possible, and as the market became saturated with the "value" of goats, the price of goats would go down.
It's the same with any commodity you can name including gold and silver. 

The only answer that avoids all of this craziness is the answer I have given you--- base the value of your money on all goods and all services (labor) worldwide.  Then the only way for such money to gain value is for us to take better care of the Earth and better care of ourselves and the plants and animals that share the Earth with us.  Such money ceases to be an idol and an end unto itself, and becomes a motivation for good. 

And that is what we sorely need on this planet--- motivation to do what is right and good.

Going back to the gold standard is one of the solutions. At least for the public payments to a legit government/company. As the constitution says, "the State can only make gold and silver coin as payment". The citizens can exchange and barter in whatever they please but the gov can only deal in gold and silver.

Yes, let's have a world standard and bring in the NWO.

They cannot tax gold and silver... That is the key!

Dan said...

Why don't we wake everyone up and push them to have Income Tax on our 'Value' and that is based on our 'Barter on Labor' and thus our 'Value' can be written up on a piece of paper for worth of $50,000 per hour and the banks and governments must receive those Promissory Notes that we can put any amount on them.

What makes you think they can't tax gold or silver?

Anonymous said...

Because the income tax is a tax on profits and gains, not property. Why is it that so few people here know what the constitution says, even if we get back the so-called republic, nobody will even know what that means.

Who is saying this? Again we assume, we believe, we were told to believe... Are we not slave again with this way of thinking??! Too less creativity! We are the only planet in the universum, where we
pay ...

Yes, excellent thoughts! I totally agree, that we don‘t need another replacement system of slavery – gold/silver, bitcoin, digital money or biological computers a la Sophia, which will erase humanity! Any of the systems are including all the mistakes done before!

We have to think very carefully how to exclude by the new currency the manipulation, speculation, the greed, a new slavery… How to stimulate the good, the care for each other, for the planet, the love. Otherwise, we will fail again.

The most profound way of thinking of this webside! Bravo!

This is where we wake people up that the 16th Amendment was ratified by only 4 States and only on 'persons' which we are corporations according to the government, and thus the more we talk about it then the more we get those that want to make the corrections.
So this is where we emphasize that the House Joint Resolution 192 of JUNE 5, 1933 allows us to write our Debts off with a personal Promissory Note for the Bill of Exchange as the currency is just a piece of paper based on 'Value' of something, which we would declare as We The People!

The Constitution is not just a piece of paper. It is a sacred trust with divine principles which makes a nation i.e. Republic. It is there to keep the Government(when there is one)in check. Sure one day there will be no need for currency but that is not now. The removal of currency goes hand in hand with the level of spiritual development of the planet. What the people due for barter is there private business ..but when it comes to the so called government . They can only tender gold or silver coin as payment. It keeps them in check. not the people!

Silver, which is true wealth, is not inherently taxable!

Incomes, and capital gains, and real estate, are taxed, but not silver. Why is this?

According to my understanding of Biblical law and history, it was only the firstfruits, or increases in a person's wealth, and only about 10%, that was supposed to be given as tithes to the priests. Therefore, if the priests were to have any income at all, they would be highly motivated to follow God's laws to set up an economic system that would continually increase the wealth of the people.

But wealth itself is not taxable, partly because it cannot be found. When you buy silver in the U.S., it is not registered with any government agency. They will ask you for your driver's license, and the coin shop may keep records, but that is all that is required, because the purchase of silver is not a taxable event in the U.S., nor is the sale of silver if sold at a loss.

The 16th amendment is irrelevant and did not change anything, I agree it was improperly passed, but if it were to disappear tomorrow, it would change nothing. Once again, people need to learn the constitutional definition of taxes, including the income tax. A perfect example of how people refuse to read and learn.

Anonymous said...

You said taxed, not taxed as income. The bible is irrelevant under our constitutional law. If you have an increase (and the key word is increase)in wealth, in any form including silver, it is taxable as income.

You need to research direct taxes in the constitution. This is a tax on property or people. Congress can lay a tax on each person's head and require everyone to pay whatever they want per person, and they can tax property directly (including wealth/silver holdings). They can make these taxes as high or low as they want. The problem is direct taxes requires apportionment, which requires an exact population count. Too difficult, and as you say some property is too easily hidden. Indirect taxes are much easier to collect. But in certain situations silver can be taxed.

Speaking of refuse to learn... not to stick a thorn in your ego... that CONstitution has nothing to do with us. It is a contract between the states and federal level. Each state has a CONstitution and that is the contract between the people and the state.

CONstitution is derived from constitudor. A constitudor is one who accepts another's debt. Think about that. Here in Michigan we created a covenant and attached it to our state constitution and added to it a list of definitions as how we the people define the terms used to prevent word crafting. All definitions are used from the 1828 Webster's Dictionary.

So it looks like you anonymous are the one who needs to learn. Are you going to do it?

where do you get that entomology for constitution? The constitution is not a contract between the states and federal. It is a trust between guarantor and settler trustee. Two nations becoming one. the European settlers and the aboriginal nations. the people ordained and established the constitution for the management of a republic form of gov. I dont think the states were even established yet.

Wrong!!! {Don't worry about my ego, when you actually show me to be wrong, I will admit it]. The constitution has everything to do with you. It is an agreement among the people to create a government. The purpose of that government is to create rules for a civilized society. This was am agreement made by and adopted by the people. It gives the government a limited authority to create laws, and depending upon the powers given to the government, some of these laws apply to PEOPLE, living humans. That is the agreement contained in the form of the constitution. You are buying into total nonsense. If you would learn reality, you would see that the republic is there, you just won't use it.

The constitutions are NOT CONTRACTS. GET THAT OUT OF YOUR HEAD. A contract exists when 2 existing parties make an agreement. The constitutional governments do not exist when a constitution is made, therefore the government cannot possibly be a party to a contract if it does not exist. All constitutions are enabling acts, or acts of creation. Please take everything fake judge anna says and throw it in the trash.

PS. Constitution IS NOT DERIVED from constitudor. it merely has the same Latin roots. My Webster's 1828 says constitution comes from the Latin words 'con' meaning with or together and 'stititus' meaning to set up. The word constitutor comes from exactly the same Latin words and is the noun form of one who sets something up. You are picking and twisting certain definitions which fit your fantasy of what you want things to be, not what they really are. Once again, you need to run from fake judge anna as fast as you can back to reality.

too much false info. there needs to be a mass education on what is actually going on here in North America. The problem is that Europeans constantly think they are American. I can move to china for 100 years and I will still never become Chinese. Therefore how can a colonist come from Europe and now all of a sudden is American. Lets start there because this situation is the cause for the Constitution. Anna thinks you can just restart the republic. however when a trustee (USA) defaults or relinquishes his/her title, then all property reverts back to the original guarantor, the aboriginal nations. you dont just start up another republic. No!! property reverts back first. then the option for a new trustee government. This is the law of trust. Its just that most Europeans hate to admit it. (like Anna) and therefore come up with all kinds of legal garbage to keep them in the position of creditor.
