Patrick says

I also want to back the US dollar with silver.

And all salaries and wages under $100k/year and small contracts under $10000 in the metal itself, no private or public bank paper, by law. The metal in the hand. Let the rich, the corporations, the banks, and the government hold paper/digital "silver".

New HVAC installed for $5k? Metal in the contractors hand. Burger King cashier? Metal in her hand. IRS or Walmart? You can pay with digital silver or a silver paper check. In fairness, rent check for the $1200 studio (yes Californians, that's still fairly common outside the bubble), would also be metal in the landlord's hand

That prevents 99% of bullshit. Otherwise the powerful hold the metal and give everybody else paper representations. If bad things happen, the revalue the paper but the physical metal is immune from that. It's what happened many times in the 18th and 19th.

I've already posted the 10-20% "discounts" that banks offered for silver certificates they didn't want to take from other issuers, that was so commonplace all newspapers carried their discount rates.

2020 saw the FBI manufacture a kidnapping plot against Michigan governor Gretchen Witmer in an attempt to control the electoral cycle and crush budding opposition to lockdown, with what is now looking like a MAJORITY of those involved in the plot being federal assets or informants of one stripe or another.

Judicial Watch announced today that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) withheld information on a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for information about its coordination with the U.S. Secret Service regarding the July 13 Butler, PA, rally at which former President Trump was shot.

In denying Judicial Watch’s FOIA request, the FBI cites FOIA exemption 7(A), which applies to information that “could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings”

The Judicial Watch FOIA request on July 26 asked for:

All records of the FBI, including emails, email chains, email attachments, text messages, video or audio recordings, photographs, drawings, outlook calendars, meeting minutes, finished intelligence products, bulletins, raw intelligence, threat products, correspondence, statements, letters, memoranda, reports, briefings, presentations, notes, summaries, or other form of record, regarding preparation and coordination with the USSS for former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign rally that was held in Butler, PA, on July 13, 2024. Please provide records from June 15, 2024, to present.

Judicial Watch is pursuing the next steps in preparation for litigation.

“Were there others involved in the assassination attempt on Trump? If not, then why would the FBI use the excuse of protecting someone’s right to a fair trial to hide records on the FBI’s and Secret Service’s inexcusable failures to protect Trump from being nearly assassinated,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “The Biden-Harris administration is running a major league cover-up on the near assassination of former President Trump.”

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg released a statement Monday acknowledging that Facebook actively censored information on COVID-19 and the Hunter Biden corruption scandal due to direct pressure from the federal government. Facts revealed by Elon Musk through the Twitter Files had already made it clear that government agencies like the FBI, CIA, and NSA were regularly demanding the censorship of American citizens by social media companies, but the letter that Zuckerberg sent to the House Judiciary Committee serves as the smoking gun.

The official Republican House Judiciary account on Twitter celebrated this admission as a victory for free speech, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Despite the admission that government actors used censorship to interfere in the 2020 election and silence dissent during the pandemic, no one faces criminal prosecution, and no one is getting fired. The only lesson the Democratic Party and deep state have learned is that censorship works.

Once the secret police start rigging elections, you must take swift action or things get bad fast. That is exactly what has happened in the United States, and no one in the GOP seems very interested in holding the FBI accountable.

Zuckerberg’s letter revealed that, leading up to the 2020 election, the FBI lied to Facebook executives by claiming that any story about the Biden family’s connection to the Ukrainian energy conglomerate Burisma was Russian disinformation. Facebook took the warning seriously and suppressed the story on its platform, denying millions of voters the information they needed to make an informed choice during the election.

Other social media companies took similar actions. Twitter went so far as locking the account of the New York Post for its story about Hunter Biden’s laptop. We now know the story was true, and the FBI knew it was true as well. However, the FBI wanted to rig the election in favor of Joe Biden, so agency officials used their position of power to lie to corporations that control the flow of information in the United States to influence the presidential contest.

Zuckerberg's apparent change of heart is, at least theoretically, great news. The billionaire wields enormous influence over how Americans interact with information. He also spent hundreds of millions of dollars in 2020 to reshape local election structures to favor the Democratic Party's machine politics, as Mollie Hemingway outlined in her book “Rigged.” ...
