The Morality of Money
H. Skip Robinson © 10/8/2009

Most people do not know that it even exists but there is an ongoing
struggle between economic factions throughout the world to control the
kind of money you use.

I am “not” going to go into the details in this writing, as to a
number of my comments, but we are not a democracy or even a democratic
republic. By definition we are a fascist oligarchy, as are most
countries around the world today. I have a number of writings that go
deeply into every assessment and terms used in this writing including
a book in process titled,” Liberty or Bust and How We Knew”. It
explains why many Americans are currently insolvent, as are the
Federal and a number of State and local governmental jurisdictions in
the United States of America and how we, those of the Austrian School
of Economic Principles, knew much in advance that we as a nation of
some 350 million people would be in the position we are economically
in today.
First, a number of the Amendments and Articles of the Constitution of
the United States have been usurped and there is an ongoing economic
effort to control the means of production by a small ruling oligarchy
using fascist rule that I must say has been enormously successful in
this execution of their goals. Of most importance to this analysis,
are the Money Clauses of the U.S. Constitution. Article 1 Section 10;
No State shall….make Anything but gold and silver coin, a Tender in
Payments of Debts and Article 1, Section 8; Congress shall have the
power to…. Coin Money, regulate the value thereof and of foreign coin
and fix the Standards of Weights and Measures. I don’t know about you
but I believe even a 9th grader would conclude the use of gold and
silver coin, as lawful tender in payments of debts, is mandated by our
Constitution. Since Article 1 Sec 10 mandates only the use of gold
and silver coin, obviously Article 1 Sec. 8 indicates the coining of
money to mean gold and silver coin, either coined by the Federal
Government or of foreign origins, to regulate their value and fix
their weights and measures, yet I see no mention of printed debt based
fiat paper money.
Remember, I don’t really care at this point whether you agree with my
facts as I am “not” going into detail as to all of my points of
contention, but I do have the written analysis and support of
everything I’m saying in this essay. So let’s get straight into the
heart of the essay, the Morality of Money.
A Central Bank is the 5th platform of Communism as described in Karl
Marx’s and Richard Engle’s book the Communist Manifesto. It is via a
Central Bank that a fascist Oligarch can primarily exist as it offers
those in power the ability to create money, regulate its interest
rates and control through various regulations and institutional
mandates, who that fiat money is lent to. They use debt, as the
implementing precursor to issue paper fiat currency, while excluding
gold and silver coin from competition. This, FDR did in a 1933
Presidential Executive Order by confiscating gold and silver coin and
notes under the threat of incarceration and fines of up to $10,000.
Of course, communism supports the taking from the individual, by force
if necessary, for the good of the majority; taking the property or
money from those that it belongs to, when lawfully acquired, and
giving the property or money to someone whom it does not lawfully
belong to. To me such an action is wrong, unethical, bad, evil or
whatever choice of words you feel obligated to use and of course there
are those misguided individuals that condone such practices for the so-
called benefit of the majority when anyone with any level of
experience in human behavior and competence understands the many
erroneous ramification and unintended outcomes of such behaviors.
If you consider 535 member of Congress, 12 Supreme Court Justices and
a small group of central bankers: 108 directors controlling 12
district banks you have all the people that not only control the rule
of law, but the creation of money, who gets the loans and the interest
rates everyone pays. As you can imagine those closes to the top get
the best interest rates, are given the most money to conduct their
business(s) and participate in both the process of determining
regulatory implementation and the laws that we all live by. The use
of regulation and taxation to control the means of production by these
few individuals is called a fascist oligarchy. Hopefully, you do not
believe that the majority are being represented by Congress, instead
of the special interests groups that really provide the majority of
the campaign funding or understand that ¾ of the people in society do
not understand the basic precepts of law or economics, as much of our
education system is void of such knowledge or teachings.
Of course those from the free market Austrian School know that if you
place that much power in the hands of such few individuals, that they
have historically abused this power by printing more and more money
until one day, in which the society through taxation will not be able
to afford the interest payments on the debt. We are basically at the
point in time now. We must now borrow money and monetize (print)
money to pay the interest on debt we previously borrowed, since tax
revenues are drastically down due to the high levels of unemployment
and the ongoing recession; thus creating the dreaded effects of
Stagflation.
Although an oligarchy still may have higher amounts of power over the
people then we would like, when using gold and silver coin as money,
the creation of money, the interest rates that are charged and who it
is lent to becomes a much more widely dispersed activity, as many
competing groups around the world must mine gold and silver, for money
to be created. It therefore has a true value, not just pieces of
paper with numbers printed on it, that promise it’s worth something.
Fiat currencies as the world has witnessed throughout history, somehow
are always generally worth less each year, then the prior, with “all”
one day becoming worthless and that is an historical fact that America
is now facing. Gold and silver on the other hand have always
maintained a high level of value, unless manipulated by the very
governments (fascist oligarchies) who desire the ability to control
the printing of money, the interest that is charged and whom it is
lent to.
As fiat currencies lose their purchasing value and gold and silver
coin are discouraged or prohibited from use, the accumulation of
precious metals becomes a precarious holding as they do not generally
receive income for their owner. Owning gold and silver is only
profitable in times of heavy currency devaluation that runs in cycles,
that the oligarchs attempt to control through various policies such as
raising interest rates and aggressive lending policies. Gold and
silver however are the best stores of value and therefore provides the
greatest means for protection of one’s monetary value in periods of
economic volatility, destabilization and depreciation when fiat
currencies are mandated.
There are millions of individuals around the world that are sick and
tired of the monetary manipulations by the oligarchs and desire the
use of gold and silver as money. Ron Paul’s new book “End The Fed” is
just one of many writing throughout history that details how those
societies that embrace anything other than gold and silver coin as
money, are always ruled and controlled by a fascist oligarchy to their
destruction. Many people think that there is not enough gold and
silver in the world, yet it was our money just 77 years ago for gold
and 30 years ago for silver, so that is one of a number of false
positions perpetrated by the oligarchs. I use the term oligarchy –
governmental leadership by the few, as it is the best word that I have
thus far found to which I agree with its definition to best describe
those in power under our current system and it appears that most
countries are under a similar structure.
There can be little doubt, based on all rational suppositions that the
use of debt based fiat currency, instead of gold and silver coin, is
detrimental to any society that embraces its use and that it allows
for the governing group to create a tyrannical rain of force, fear and
unethical behavior on society. The American society is full of such
events and oppression cast against those who challenge and defy those
that control the oligarchy. Only by ones ignorance, apathy and
selfishness can anyone go through life not being affected or feeling
the pain of others effected by the actions and manipulations of the
oligarchs as they have placed so much destruction and impoverishment
on the majority that we are near civil unrest and are and have been
feeling the effects of years of misallocation of resources and mal
investment. A multitude of unethical redistribution of wealth schemes
have created unjust wars, poverty, recession, and depression one out
of every two years in the 20th and now 21st Century. All because we,
as a people, have allows the use of debt based fiat currency to be
issued by a centrally controlled small group of people so powerful
that they can prosecute, imprison and/or pay off individuals willing
to sell their souls to the proverbial devil to control the means of
production, that just so happens to be the pretext of Communism.
Shame on us.
"All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." –
Edmund Burke

Could it be that simple – Just too continually buy gold and silver
coin with every piece of fiat currency that enters our hands and push
those with apathy and ignorance to except and participate in its
dissemination.

Do we have a moral obligation to affect the use of gold and silver
coin as money?
Won’t it be easier to just let the oligarchs stay in power by
controlling the dissemination of paper with fancy numbers printed on
it which has ruined every society that has embraced such an action and
are people just too selfish, stupid or apathetic to enjoin in a
significant moral cause?
Is it going to be a struggle? Absolutely. The oligarchs have and will
continue to try to keep the prices of precious metals and other
commodities down as well, as they are the greatest indicators of the
value of their fiat currency and it is their fiat currency that gives
them their greatest power.
