They could not pass the 16th Amendment, the income tax amendment, as long as the States were selecting senators. I present as my own definition of proof of this that one of the first things done after passage of the 17th Amendment, which gave selection of Senators to the voters rather than the State houses, was the passage of the 16th Amendment that gave the Federal government the ability to tax the individual.

We had much more protection from the Progressives when the State houses selected senators than we do today. Now, the Senators interests are the same as the representatives. It was a sad day for the republic when is lost a key character of being a republic.

I don’t think you can cold turkey anything here. Congress has to force the Fed to accept competing currencies, though. Anything else will not work. The Fed will fight because as everybody knows, good money will drive out bad money. I have my doubts about whether a competing currency such as hard money would improve the dollar’s value by virtue of competition, though. I think it would just inspire more machinations from the Fed against our economy.

“IT IS THE JEWS!” you cry and bang, ears and minds close, as they should, to anything else you have to say.

Those who instigated a fiat currency are godless and amoral. As to your service, well, I appreciate it. Now, go clear out the shellshock of disinformation that has you working against your own best self-interests. Four of my great uncles were in Normandy on D-Day and none of them run around hollering about Jews, even David White, the second American to be greeted by the Queen. What he DID see was a war torn apart by central banks and greed and he spared no pains educating me about it.
