What does a secret Bill, the American Bankers Association, London and the US Mint have in common? 1873, the year the biggest crime in American History was successfully pulled off by "The Controllers"
In 1896, William Jennings Bryan, a former U.S. Representative from Nebraska said in a speech at the Democratic National Convention, "You shalt not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold." Bryan emphatically endorsed, "Free Silver" as a medium of exchange along with gold. In truth money, like the energy it represents, should be released into circulation commensurate with the industrial, technological, and overall productive capacity of a nation. Adolph Hitler and National Socialist Germany recognized this and in a few short years Germany soared to the top as the most prosperous nation on earth. Concomitant with this, it is imperative that the money be interest or usury free. In many ancient cultures, usury was considered a capital felony offense like murder or rape. Usury is the great destroyer of civilizations. The problem with the U.S., is that the bankster and corporate criminals, along with their lackeys in government have so de-industrialized the country that it produces little more than prisons, lottery tickets, and fast food hamburgers. You can't build a lasting edifice on a foundation of sand. That and its polyglot, mongrelized population, which is part and parcel of its pre-meditated destruction along with the dismantling of its industries. It is astonishing and sickening to realize that by the middle of the 20th century, the U.S. was such an economic powerhouse that it produced almost as much as the entire rest of the world combined. It is now a pathetic shell of its former self, again all by design, promulgated by the usual suspects. Great post and piece of writing here, "A", thank you.
I sit at a desk with a mountain of scales dropping from my eyes after reading your report. Truly, this is a horrrendous crime. Many have already been informed of the nefarious plot to create the "Federal" Reserve thanks to the book The Creature from Jekyll Island by patriot G. Edward Griffin, and I vaguely recall reading about William Jennings Bryan's "Cross of Gold" sermon as an "interesting" event in 19th Century Americana, but to discover the immense depravity of this heinous crime has been jarring to say the least.
Many thanks for your valuable research and reportage of this generally hidden but earthshaking conspiracy!

I wish you would also do a deep dive on the diamond industry. I've heard that diamonds are so abundant, that its a true SCAM (what else is new) as to the cost of those things. How the consumer gets so ripped off.
The way they went about it was pretty brilliant. We are talking about an age where people weren't as pliable to government authority. So they artificially raised the value of gold from about $20/Oz to $35/Oz overnight. That was enough incentive to turn your gold in for paper for those who didn't think beyond the present, nearly doubling it's value. I'm sure a lot of people who had gold currency felt like they won the lottery.
You do understand that the gold was confiscated BEFORE the price of gold was raised to $35, right?. So, a double rip-off - pay $20 in fiat for genuine gold that nearly instantly increase nearly double in value. The incentive to turn the gold in was 2-fold: patriotic spirit to follow whatever the government mandated during the Depression under FDR who seemed to be trying to do something about; and of course, criminal penalties for failure to do so.
That's what I also thought, originally. But then it occurred to me that the act of establishing arbitrary abstract value itself could be the root of all evil, as that type of thinking is what permits people to think that they can trade some impugned value "money" for concrete stuff like land, even living things (even people) and thus "own" them to do with them however one see's fit. This fits in with Oscar Wilde's observation in The Picture of Dorian Gray, that "nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing."
At its core, money is an agreement. Unfortunately, there are people that lie about and break agreements, and love to do so. Lots of people these days, I would say. Loving such agreements and their misuse because they potentially let you cheat other people out of their things to have them for yourself is not an admirable trait.
The "design" would seem to me to come more from human "designs" on accumulating unearned wealth. Certainly "financial systems" are designed with this in mind. Simple out-in-the-open token exchanges can work among honest people, up to a point, but always there are people scheming to take advantage of others.
Just out of curiosity, if silver had been legislated out as a backing of the dollar, how did bills bear the title of "Silver Certificate", until they will changed (in the 70s?) to Federal Reserve Note. I have, stashed somewhere, a single dollar bill labeled Silver Certificate.
Good question. My dad had some old silver certificates in his coin collection.
I don't really know, but just assume that the value for a $1.00 silver certificate would remain $1.00, but simply no longer convertible into silver dollars. It would be interesting to know whether it would be convertible into gold dollars....

No, didn't realize that. That's horrible. What a rip off move
The more you learn about the actual history of this country, the less surprising these events become.
And the more the teaching "money is the root of all evil" seems thoroughly proven.
Or "...the love of money is the root of all evil" (KJV; YVMV). The aphorism got bent, somehow.

But then it occurred to me that the act of establishing arbitrary abstract value itself could be the root of all evil, as that type of thinking is what permits people to think that they can trade some impugned value "money" for concrete stuff like land, even living things (even people) and thus "own" them to do with them however one see's fit.

Yes, the money in itself is not a problem. The designed scarcity is the root of evil in a world with such a money-system in place.
