Goodbye America, not because you have such a huge problem at your very core, but because you are unwilling to address it. Damn you for what you are doing to you decedents, for it is only after you have sold everything they were to inherit that they will be required to buy it back with their blood of revolution if it is even still available for withdrawal.

Finally a thread I can lock due to it turning into a flame fest without any fear of retribution from the members or the staff!!:laugh:

I'd sooner see you in the battlefield. The goodbye wasn't me leaving, but I can see your lack of understanding likely encompasses a great many things.

I didn't think that the goodbye was you leaving, I'm just saying that you better get out while you still can. If you can see that the US is going down, why would you stay? I bet you would have been sitting there in your cabin on the titanic as well. Where is your Ron Paul sig?

By the way, the head thing was changed for thought they it may be misconstrued given the obscene acts by others these days.

Are you a coward, or a failed cynic in your remarks? This isn't a boat, as we're not talking about a continent that is about to be submerged beneath the very ocean and one chaining thyself to the ground in naive hope to keep it afloat. We're talking about a system that is drawing nearer its final withdrawal, and I want it back from those who have been making withdrawals under my name for those who follow me in the time line of life will need it.

-damnit, why can't I make a post that I don't need to edit...

God I hate these threads.

There have been countless numbers of these anti-Federal Reserve threads and they have all been equally misguided.

This video presents a tremendous amount of mistakes and misrepresentations. The guys literally have no idea what they are talking about, and you can guess why the PhD talks about the legal problems of the FED and not the economics of it. But considering I don't think people make a video without first taking a look at the problem they want to talk about, I guess ignorance here is paired by malice. It's just advertising, the sensationalizing of something most people know little about to conjure to same old little-man fears; i.e. oh my god! the rich guys are taking my money away!

It's not even worth debating this, as reading any introductory Economics book is more than enough for anybody to understand the gross mistakes in their discourse.

I think he means you should 'take off every zig' because 'you know what you doing' and that it should be followed by 'move zig' obviously for 'great justice.'

While all dogs are mammals, not all mammals are dogs. If you can respond with proof you understand how this relates to your comment JEDIYoda I'll converse with you, otherwise I'll just look like a retard for trying to argue with one.

Too bad Congress doesn't pass a "Shill Disclosure Act".

We need one bad for all the Ron Paul paid staffers online everywhere.

"I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes"

Ron Paul making an appearance in this production does not make this topic about Ron Paul. There is a serious logic and rationale deficit in this community.

Intelligence flash: all of my elected officials represent me, not just the ones wearing certain gang colors. This issue has nothing to do with Ron Paul, and it will remain regardless of Paul's fate unless the people address it.

"Fiat empire"... not sure what it means.

Like Dave suggested, Fiat is an Italian automaker....

I know the expression is not Latin, because the proper Latin phrase would be "Fiat imperium" - which translates as "let there be an empire". Yet, the OP is not talking about a rise, but a downfall.

I wish people would stop using foreign expressions and words incorrectly...

It's not used incorrectly.

Fiat: an arbitrary decree or pronouncement, esp. by a person or group of persons having absolute authority to enforce it. (reference.com)

The fiat refers to our monetary policy in that is has no auditable backing, only the pronouncement that it is creates it (let there be). It's only backing is the good faith and credit of the American people, and because it has no materialistic backing it's very vulnerable to corruption and fiscal ignorance, and that's become a huge snowball of a problem.

Perhaps you're trying to hard to flex your linguistic bona fides to impress people and then when your argument boils down to simplistic paranoia and you are called out for that, you resort to personal attacks.

A fallacy followed by an allegation of that very fallacy accompanied also by additional attached fallacies. I'll bet you think additional people, such as illegal aliens, in the work force are causing our real earnings to crumble, yet when someone tells you that doubling the amount of currency in circulation cuts each dollar's value in half you call them paranoid.

Yes, you did good Billy now hurry along before the short bus leaves you behind (while the adults take pride in improving their knowledge base). -- It's not that there's anything wrong with not understanding something, but there is something grotesquely wrong with not understanding it and not taking the time and effort required to attempt an understanding while simultaneously expecting others to believe honest words escape your mouth on the matter.

If you want responses to this subject go look up the thread on Zeitgeist: The Movie and there might be one on America: From Freedom to Fascism.

I'm not watching this film because it's probably the same crap I've seen half a dozen times before that is just horribly wrong. These films remind me of this picture.
