Freedom to look for the good

This site is here to give an easily remembered link to the Grandfather Economic and Education reports as published by Michael Hodges and endorsed by Milton Friedman.

"Freedom to look for the good" is more true when you know enough to distinguish the good from the evil
and the truth from a lie or a deception, and sleigh of hand with minced words. In short, you got to know what snake bit you so you can apply the right antidote.

This is about your money, your house, and your children's inheritance.

Key economic advisors on tv saying all this extra money won't cause inflation. Wow!

I began learning about these things in the sixties from an 8" reel to reel tape by Wright Patman, chair of the U.S. House Committee on Banking and Currency.

He knew that our national budget was fed by the printing press of the F.R.B.S. much more than by any income taxes collected.

But even he could not get the word made public knowledge. The story goes back to Christmas of 1912 when a bought Congress voted in FRBS.
I have researched many topics back through the New York Times micro-film index, the Atlantic, and other materials to verify things.
In short, we have been robbed, but it was not robbery because it was made legal.

We must move slowly and carefully to solve the problem.
Like a man out on a limb with such a huge weight of debt, and so far out leveraged on the limb, that he must take very gentle actions to redeem himself or find the whole tree branch breaking under the weight; or worse, the tree up-rooted by the leverage on its branches.

If you can figure out what snake bit you, then you can apply the right antidote. It's hard to fix a problem when you don't recognize it's root. It's a shameful affair to just continue chopping down rotten fruit. Get to the root of the rotten fruit, and lay the axe to the root.
If it's a giant, cut off the head; don't just trust a knock-out blow.

The financial problem is not limited to Lehman Bro, it is spread around; but Lehman is in the news with 30x leveraged instruments. Lehman Brothers, at one point had "leveraged" things (financial instruments) 30x according to the words of Richard Fuld, I heard tonight from House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, I suppose people have a hard time recognizing this serpent, when it's venom is foundational to our banking system, the legalized multiplication of paper money with legalized bookkeeping entries. There was once a fierce battle in congress as to the legalization of these type bookkeeping entries. Now the people's awareness of that lost battle is buried by 95 years, and consequently people again have a hard time recognizing the serpent that bit their pocket book.

So long as people believe the seed and root are OK, then this poisonous fruit shall continue to be accepted and multiply.

24. Thomas Jefferson - letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. " .

27. “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” --Thomas Jefferson

"The last time the national debt was paid off was in 1835 when Pres Andrew Jackson shut down the Central bank that preceded the Fed Reserve.
Pres Jackson's entire platform revolved around his commitment to shutting down the Central Bank Stating that: "The bold efforts the present bank has made to control the Govt...are but premonitions of the fate that awaits Americans should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution, or the establishment of another like it."

But how high would you have to price gold to use it as a foundation of the world's monetary system?
The money supplies of Japan, China, the United States, and Europe add up to around $50 trillion.
There are 5 billion aboveground ounces of gold. You'd need to value each ounce of gold at $10,000 to back these four currencies in gold.

According to consulting firm McKinsey, the value of all the world's financial assets
– stocks, bonds, and bank accounts – is $167 trillion.
These assets are also denominated in paper currency.
To back them with gold as well, gold would have to rise over $40,000 an ounce.

I'm not suggesting gold will ever trade at $40,000 an ounce.
But it shows you how, unlike paper money, gold is a useful commodity and has intrinsic value.
I do think gold is easily worth over $2,113 per ounce.
That's the level gold set in January 1980 – $850 per ounce – stated in today's money.

Estimates say there's about another 800 trillion dollars in derivatives floating around and ready to burst another bigger bubble. That sounds incredulous, but another source gave the estimate at over 500 trillion for world wide derivatives.

Here's a senario to be stalled off if not completely avoided:
United States debt continues to sky-rocket as bail-out money is "legally" contracted to world corporations.
China and Russia and the E.U. demand payment.
Washington agrees to legal payment and raises taxes to 50% for everyone.
Minor revolt in big city streets with F.E.M.A. called in to control population.
FEMA treaties with U.N. go into effect.

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) 28th US President

"Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce."
James A. Garfield ,(3/1881-11/1881) assassinated 20th US President
