We've already won. Here's an analogy. We've heard of bow-hunting, right? Guy covers himself with camo and special deer scents and takes a $1500 bow into the forest to shoot deer.
My buddy told me a story I'll never forget. He spots a deer, aims, lets it fly, and the arrow passes THROUGH the deer and sticks into a tree stump.
From the deer's perspective, he didn't feel a thing. The arrow just suddenly appeared there.
Startled, in a split second, the deer sprints away.
My buddy followed the deer about 100m as it slowly lost consciousness, fell to one knee, then two, then... FLOP. Fell right over, dead.
When was the deer's fate sealed? When it was shot, not when it fell over.
That's what you're witnessing now. The banks are already dead, but they're talking their last steps like a huuuuuge 100ft tall monster in a movie, already speared through the heart, and it stumbled over and dies, crushing houses and buildings as it falls to the ground. That's what we're witnessing. This beast, however, is already dead the moment trump signed EO 13848.
THEY NEVER THOUGHT SHE WOULD LOSE. NOW, THEY ALL LOSE.
I saw an interesting analysis on the new US $100 note. If you tear it in half, the two sides of the face of the note are night-and-day different. Just look and it isn’t difficult to figure out which would be the worthless federal reserve note and which would be the gold backed constitutional currency note.
I have studied money and monetary systems for over 30 years and have argued the case against people with doctorates in economics. I have also written banking software.
I probably "get it". Not guaranteed, but probably ;)
Here is a challenge for you hoss... go buy a pre-60s silver certificate.. you will pay more than the face value sure and you can sell it for more than face value.
BUT
That is only because of the novelty. The challenge is this.. take the same certificate down to any bank of your choosing and try to cash it in.
Not that I am a gold bug or anything, but Peter Shiffs <spelling> has a preeety good book (the fish book) that I made my kids read when they were 13ish...
No matter HOW much people say they are going to do the right thing, they will ALWAYS end up doing a "fractional reserve" thing once they start spending moar than they bring in and the people are no longer looking.
I still don't own any bitcoin because I have worked with spooks in the past and don't like the idea of money invented by an ANON... BUT I would say once the people who think tulip bulbs ain't sexy no moar stop speculatin' on it... it might be what we have to use interim.
There is a pretty good sayin' that you don't really own anything you can't carry on your back at a dead run.
If you don't own the gold, you just own a promise... like the federal reserve promise, or the social security promise, or the computerized voting machine promise, or the we give you the truth in our newscast promise, or the EPA will punish the train wreck fuckers promise, or the TSA is for your safety promise, or the IRS will go away after WWI is finished promise, or the Great Society will make black people like you promise, or the Strategic Reserve will only be used in times of war promise, or the you will get a fair trial promise, or the it's in the interest of the country to send your son over to die promise...
You are probably right... but 100 years from there, it will be in the same mess it is in now... which IS probably unavoidable because as you say... people don't wanna carry massive amounts of metal around...
Point still remains, the same type of people will do the same kinda shit...
Now if we had capitol punishment for fuckers that fuck with our monetary system... we might get 200 years... but the one thing john maynard keynes said that I agreed with when confronted by the Austrian guys was "We are all dead in the end"
N SHEEEEIT!!!
BTW... our conversation would be much better over beer... and I would prbly buy you one... we are on the same side.. we just have different extremes we are willing to go on monetary policy.
I think most central bankers should be hung up by their balls with a crane and used as targets to teach kids how to use a BB gun...
And you are somewhere between there and what we currently have.
A lot of the plan is already done. But the transition has to appear reasonably normal to keep people from freaking out. I do like the bow-hunting analogy.

I agree with you.
Yes, I think we're in the wake-up phase, the hard part is done with maybe a few tie ups left to do.
This is a insightful thing to say. Everyone's in a panic, including me, but, what you say is true. We have to remember this.
I am not in a panic. Have been expecting it most of my life because my grandparents and parents expected it.
Kinda nice to not be the crazy dude predicting it anymoar...
Kinda nice to have frenz n sheeeeit.
A great book to read about what is about to happen is "When Money Dies"
Keep about 100 lbs of rice / beans per person... learn to filter water.
It will all be ok in the end.

Forget Treasury notes.
I want Silver Certificates.
"Ten Dollars in Gold Coin Payable to the Bearer On Demand," that sort of thing.
Fuck certificates. I want gold / silver / copper / bronze / sea shells / something non-centralized...
And the death penalty for counterfeiters including bankers or politicians who do it.
Drawn and quartered for saying ANYTHING positive about fractional reserve banking.
I don't think you get it.
Silver/Gold Certificates are what we used before Federal Reserve Notes.
They could be traded in at any bank for the same amount in silver/gold coin, "payable to the bearer on demand."
So you get exactly what you want.

I can list moar promises if I need to.
Cool
Good luck carrying all those heavy metals at once
I don't plan on it... I am firmly in the Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death camp...
With a huge ass slice of : I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.
But I notice you are not refuting anything... just butt hurt cuz yer meme did not wither all tests of time.
I am not at war with you hoss... just making a point.
It served the country well for a century and a half before the Fed. We'll be fine.
...
n sheeeit.

Yeah, its a done deal. Great meme for us older folks...
Where is all the gold though? The gold we had at one time? Even if they gave it away it’s still sitting somewhere 🤷♀️
