    What this country needs is more McFaddens and less politicians. Unfortunatly, we will not be improved in November no matter who gets elected. That being said, the big "O", the Messiah is the most dangerous to the country. Did you hear the one about Hillary, Obama, and Biden on a donkey at the edge of a cliff. The donkey spooked and jumped over the cliff. Who was saved? The answer is "America".

    I believe this was in reference to the confiscation of every gold dollar from every American in order to permanently switch from a lawful 'hard' currency to an unlawful (but 'legal') interest-bearing fiat currency -- i.e. debt, or as the bankers like to call it, 'credit.' The biggest heist in a thousand years! The US has been bankrupt ever since and in receivership to the Fed.

    I find it somewhat amusing that only one State, Utah, has made gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts (gold and silver being lawful money.). With eminent domain's post Constitution definition being changed and enforced, along with the advent of debt-funny money, perfected allodium is no longer recognized or a possibility. Property can not be owned, only a title to property is allowed to be held. Title is a mere privilege to hold a form of legal control (not beneficial, equitable or perfected allodium - ownership). Ownership can be recognized by an instrument, under seal, that conveys a position with no encumbrances or possibility of forfeiture (by debt, taxes, operation of law and justice or otherwise)

    A strong comment that was not heeded almost a century ago.

    It will be interesting to see how this plays out in Utah.  From a legal standpoint, if gold or silver is used to purchase something for 20 silver dollars (ounces) or more, the purchase becomes an actual purchase according to the common law.  When we use Federal Reserve 'Notes' we are merely transferring the equitable interest from one person to the other  the article is still 'owned' by the Federal Reserve.  Read the fine print on today's printed currency  using this currency does NOT actually discharge any debt.  But gold and silver money does.  Technically, if you purchased your property with lawful money, it is not taxable  because you own it, not the issuers of the notes.

    McFadden was later poisoned as an example to anyone else who dared expose the scam.

    The politically elected have this flare or penchant for making statements that keep the social turbulence abounding, but really no real solutions to any problems. Its as if you want to hold any position in the conventional world you better make certain of your incompetence to maintain approval.

    🤪 ABSOLUTELY !   but, I'm sure the state of Utah will not give up it godly status in claiming a perfected allodium on all property (including each sentient being).

    The solution McFadden was proposing was to NOT renew the Federal Reserve charter (happens every 20 years, I believe).  End the Fed!  The return to hard currency would be a tremendous blow to the globalist world order ruled by the international banking cartel.  War would soon follow, just like the War of 1812 the last time the central bankers were kicked out of America. 

    All wars are bankers' wars.  As soon as a nation starts issuing its own currency interest-free and out from under the boot of the banksters, they are immediately warred upon.  Watch the African Union which is switching to a gold backed currency and no longer sending France its recently mined gold only to have the French issue them a fiat currency in exchange.  This servitude of Africa has been going on for centuries!

    Dazzling, Mr Archer, if I decide, and hope I never become that incompetent, to run for political office you're in line for me to call on for your services as campaign manager and speech writer.  All wars are bankers wars?  Fascinating assertion, my guess is we could call on kinds of different occupational descriptive designations for what amounts and comes down to, just plain murder.  Peace, and good will to all, all the same.

    Couldn't we as easily say all wars are go-go girl wars?  We all have our priorities after all, do we not?
