FBI sees goldbugs as extremists and a security threat

BullionBull · Feb 14, 2012

From the Financial Survival Network

It's now official, Ranting Andy Hoffman and I are extremists. Why, because we favor a return to the Gold Standard and believe that the United States went bankrupt as a result of Nixon's decision to abandon the remnants of the Gold Standard that were still in place in August 1971. The FBI is warning local law enforcement that people who consider themselves to be sovereign citizens, who object to EPA regulations, who resent the IRS, could be prone to extreme violence with no warning.

Gold?

*7 security guards crash tackle you whilst you scream 'DON'T TAZE ME BRO!'*

They are right though regarding gold being a 'national security threat' - but not in the context that you might believe. It's a threat to the financial establishment, but not to your health.

In fact, it's the CURRENT financial system that presents the clear and present danger to the public. Gold protects them and the thieving mongrels KNOW IT :

In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves.

This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."
-- Alan Greenspan, Gold and Economic Freedom, 1966
