Utah is now accepting gold and silver as legal tender for transactions and to settle debts according to a bill recently signed into law by Governor Gary R. Herbert. Several other states have proposed similar measures in the wake of the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve and the decreasing value of paper money.

Utah’s law is notable because it is the first such bill to pass. Over 150 years ago, Congress passed the Legal Tender Act, which authorized the use of paper notes to pay bills, and while paper money still retains the value noted, interest rates governing bonds and other savings or investment vehicles are at historic lows and are expected to remain at those lows through at least 2014.

Gold and silver bullion however, are at historically high values and observers expect those values to remain high for some time. House Bill 157 will allow for gold and silver bullion to be used for transactions based on the weight of the amount of metal presented. That is a key distinction because it expands out the use of gold and silver beyond face value on limited runs of precious metal coins offered through the US Treasury....

Much has been written of the New World Order, the CFR, the Illuminati, the Trilateralists, the Bilderbergs, etc. If such organized bodies exist for a specific objective, as Carroll Quigley would have us believe, a profuse amount of money, such as via a printing press, would definitely be a useful tool to promote their agenda. Does such access to easy money exist, perhaps even hidden right in front of us? Let us reflect on the Federal Reserve and analyze their operation.

When the government wishes to spend money it does not have, it utilizes deficit spending. That means they “borrow” from the Federal Reserve. In practice, a Treasury security is given the Fed and the Fed makes a book entry in an account of the government for the amount of the security. Voila !!! The legislators spend the book entry money and builds roads and bridges, buys military products and funds military projects in their home state, returns a few pennies on the dollar to their constituents for social programs, and all their constituents applaud when their congress critters occasionally go home to press the flesh....

As Americans come to grips with a severe financial hangover, the American economy will adapt to meet the peoples’ needs.  After 30 years of easy credit, subprime mortgages, zero interest loans and binge spending, the economy has imploded.  The wizards of Wall Street continue casting spells and weaving their magic, as the mainstream media rattles on about the wizards’ omnipotence like an rickety player piano.

Meanwhile, back in the world of reality, some Americans are beginning to realize the necessity of more contemporary ways of doing business.  As decreasing wages, increasing taxes, stifling regulations and a mortally wounded economy, are forcing people to do business a different way.  If current conditions continue, “black markets” will emerge, giving local economies an IV to keep them stable.

The global Black Market has already surpassed $1 trillion in sales.  The United States alone already accounts for more than $600 billion, almost three times the nearest competitor- China.  Americans, seeing that the economy for the “99%” still isn’t healthy, are doing an end around to oppressive, financial restraints imposed by the government and Wall Street.  When times become too financially difficult and unbearable in the face of financial repression (think Prohibition and the War on Drugs) black markets spring up like mushrooms after a morning dew.  The economic intrusions of a government gone haywire include repression of raw milk sales, tracking gold and silver purchases over $600, the IRS considering taxing barter exchanges and the FDA having jurisdiction over personal gardens.  Citizens are creating new economic systems that serve their own interests outside of corporate, centralized markets....

Texas Congressman and Presidential Candidate Ron Paul questioned Ben Bernanke, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, on Capitol Hill yesterday.

Dr. Paul pulled out a silver eagle, explaining that it has retained its real worth and that hard assets should be used as currency as outlined in the Constitution.

Telling Bernanke that in 2006, when he took over at the Fed, an ounce of silver bought about 4 gallons of gas, where as today it will buy 11 gallons. “That’s preservation of value,” said Paul.

Begin watching at the 0:58 mark for the action.

Paul called for a competing currency to the dollar, stating that the laws should be changed to allow precious metals to settle contract disputes and other legal obligations.

Bernanke addressed Paul by jokingly saying “good to see you again, Congressman”, before somewhat derisively saying he would be happy to consider the Congressman’s ideas and help him work out what currencies to hold.

Paul hit back by saying the government goes after those who attempt to use gold and silver as alternatives to depreciating Federal Reserve notes as if they are criminals, telling Bernanke “the record of what you’ve done is destroy the currency,”...

Italian police said on Friday they had seized about $6 trillion of fake U.S. Treasury bonds in Switzerland, and issued arrest warrants for eight people accused of international fraud and other financial crimes.

Hayden’s Note:

Stop for a minute and just think about what $6 trillion worth of Treasury bonds could do to our Dollar.  And if this was recently “caught,” think about how many forged Treasury Bonds have gone unnoticed?  How long has this been going on?  Who’s directing them?  If these were dumped onto the market, even in a slow, steady trickle, it would kill the US Dollar in short order. 

Hayden’s Note II:

I am doing a lot more research into this tonight and will be providing an update tomorrow on this topic.  This is a deep, deep rabbit hole.  These bonds might have been genuine.

The operation, co-ordinated by prosecutors from the southern Italian city of Potenza, was carried out by Italian and Swiss authorities after a year-long investigation, an Italian police source said.

While on vacation in Hawaii (again?), Obama tapped Jerome Powell to serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

Powel served as the undersecretary for finance under President George H. W. Bush and was a partner of The Carlyle Group.  The Carlyle Group is a massive private equity firm and one of the largest defense contractors in the world.

They’re made up of some of the most influential policymakers over the last five administrations including both Bush presidents, former Secretary of State James Baker III, former Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci, former Clinton Chief of Staff Mack McLarty, and former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt to name a few.

Hayden’s Note:

Frank Carlucci, former Sec. of Defense, was also on the Board of Directors for Westinghouse and CBS, where he controlled a massive source of media, nuclear power plants, electric companies, and can sway public opinion.  Now he’s a top dog at the Federal Reserve.  Wonderful.  Here’s a brief rundown of CBS, from my article, Breakdown of Where Your News Comes From:

Thanks to “just in time” inventory practices, America has an average of just three days of food on its grocery shelves. Inventories are kept extremely well managed and tight thanks to the amazing efficiency of modern day transportation and manufacturing systems.  Depending on your age, you might remember when grocery stores had excess stock and inventory in the “back room.”  Those days are long gone.  If the “just in time” trucks stop rolling for any reason, your local grocery store will be empty within days and that’s even in good times!

If a disaster were to strike – natural or manmade – you could expect those shelves to be bare within hours.  The recent blizzards and snowstorms blanketing the United States are a perfect example of why it pays to be prepared.  When you watch the news and the weatherman says a life-threatening cold front is coming your direction with 15″ of snow, or a hurricane is forming, do you:

Here they are - the Financial Stability Board has released a list of 29 banks that it considers global systemically important financial institutions (G-SIFISs) and thus, considered Too Big To Fail.

The initial list of G-SIFIS:

Belgium: Dexia
China: Bank of China
France: Banque Populaire, BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole, Société Générale
Germany: Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank
Italy: Unicredit
Japan: Mitsubishi, Mizuho, Sumitomo Mitsui

Switzerland: Credit Suisse, UBS
UK: Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, Royal Bank of Scotland
US: Bank of America, Bank of New York Mellon, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, State Street, Wells Fargo

It should be pointed out that most of the US “Too Big to Fails” are the major share holders of the Federal Reserve system and the foreign banks are the very ones that Ben Bernanke sent hundreds of billions of dollars to in the last major “bailout.”  The very bailout in which he refused to answer Congressional questions in regards to which foreign banks received American taxpayer money (but was later discovered in the partial audit co-sponsored by Ron Paul)....

G.I. Joe is an iconic cartoon TV show that marked an entire generation of young boys during the 80s. Most fans still recall the main characters and the epic gun fights. But what about the storyline? A look at the TV series in today’s context is quite a strange experience: Many of Cobra’s “far-out” plots are actually happening today. Could G.I. Joe be a case of predictive programming? We will look at some G.I. Joe episodes describing the replacement of the US dollar and the usage of mind control on celebrities and civilians and see how they relate in today’s context.

As a guy who grew up in the 80s, I can personally attest that G.I. Joe was definitely on the menu in my after-school TV cartoon line-up. If you’re a younger reader, let me tell you this (at the risk of sounding like a grumpy uncle): G.I. Joe wasn’t your wimpy Dora the Explorer cartoon. It was a half-hour full of bad-ass characters face-kicking and laser-gun-shooting their way to victory....

The big banks are keeping quiet about whether customers are switching to non-profit credit unions this weekend as part of the Facebook-propelled “Bank Transfer Day” protest.

In Los Angeles, organizers predicted that thousands would move their accounts from the big commercial banks, but it was unclear how many actually did.  An estimated 650,000 consumers have transferred $4.5 billion from banks to credit unions since the end of September.

Hayden’s Note:

While I think this is great, this isn’t something to get wildly excited about.  I mean, it’s better than using Bank of America or Chase, but you’re still utilizing the system.  Whether you’re super-stoked or mildly amused by this action, I think it’s headed in the right direction.  Hopefully it continues to manifest itself into waking people up to even bigger issues!

John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman, narrates an animated short, briefly explaining how banking cartels such as the IMF turn sovereign countries into debt slaves, build corporation-nations, and enrich the rich.

Perkins, a former chief economist at Boston strategic-consulting firm Chas. T. Main, says he was an “economic hit man” for 10 years, helping U.S. intelligence agencies and multinationals cajole and blackmail foreign leaders into serving U.S. foreign policy and awarding lucrative contracts to American business. “Economic hit men (EHMs) are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars,” Perkins writes.

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is an extraordinary and gripping tale of intrigue and dark machinations.

Perkins writes that his economic projections cooked the books Enron-style to convince foreign governments to accept billions of dollars of loans from the World Bank and other institutions to build dams, airports, electric grids, and other infrastructure he knew they couldn’t afford. The loans were given on condition that construction and engineering contracts went to U.S. companies. Often, the money would simply be transferred from one bank account in Washington, D.C., to another one in New York or San Francisco....

I couldn’t believe what I heard on Tuesday night’s Bloomberg Debate. Well, okay, I guess I could believe it, but let me qualify my recantation. There was always something about Cain that made him come off as a man who isn’t above deception. It probably has something to do with the fact that I don’t trust former Federal Reserve Chairmen. Still, I was surprised, not because because he lied, but what he lied about.

When they started the segment of the debate where each candidate could ask their own question, I knew that Paul was going to hammer Cain. However, I was hoping it was going to be on Herman Cain’s credibility on economic issues. Arguably, it would have been a much better question. Arguably, this could be seen as a missed opportunity on Ron Paul’s part, but hindsight may prove it better for Ron Paul to have kept that card in reserve. Instead of asking a question that would have highlighted his own credentials, Paul came out in defense of the countless grassroots supporters that pester Herman Cain on the issue of auditing the Federal Reserve....

Chris Burris, writing for Lew Rockwell’s website yesterday, makes a good point about the Occupy Wall Street movement – they are barking up the wrong tree.

Democracy? How about a constitutionally limited republic?

Instead of occupying a park outside of Wall Street, they should march en masse to 33 Liberty Street. That’s where the New York Federal Reserve is located. In addition, they should take their chants and drums to the Harold Pratt House on 58 E. 68th Street at Park Avenue. The Council On Foreign Relations does business at that address.

If the Occupiers had a clue, they would go after the power elite instead of their workers down on Wall Street.

“But they won’t be led to confront the gods on Mount Olympus by their Judas goats and media shills,” Burris writes with an appropriate degree of sarcasm. “David Rockefelle­r, Pete Peterson, Warren Buffett, David Koch and Henry Kissinger might be held up from lunch at 21.”

The Occupy Wall Street crowd has become predictably focused on issues like taxing the middle class and moderately “rich,” ending capitalism and even re-electing Obama to ‘fight’ the very elites who pushed him into power. Focus should instead be on the real source of power for the out-of-control bankster class- the private, unaccountable Federal Reserve bank that creates money out of thin air, issues secret loans to insiders and foreign governments, and systematically institutes debt on the American people through their undue powers.

With this in mind, Alex Jones is calling on patriots to “occupy” branches of the Federal Reserve, with plans to appear at three locations in Texas this weekend in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio.  Further, people everywhere should converge upon Fed locations in their area to raise awareness about the real culprit behind the economic crisis.

Well-meaning protesters who have joined the Occupy Wall Street effort, including solidarity activities in cities everywhere, need to be educated about the power held by this insidious institution, as well as the false solutions that have been proposed by leading figures on the left and right that only further expand the scope of big government, all while avoiding the elephant in the room....

If you believe Ben Bernanke and his merry band of money printers don’t care about what you think, then consider the latest product development proposal from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. According to RFP (Request for Proposal) 6994, the Fed intends to build a real-time monitoring solution capable of mining and aggregating data across social networks like Facebook and Twitter, alternative news web sites and blogs, video sharing web sites, and mainstream media outlets.

“Governments don’t rule the world…Goldman Sachs rules the world.  Goldman Sachs doesn’t care about this rescue package and neither do the other big funds.”

He then goes into some simple strategies, such as hedging and protecting your current assets and predicts that within 12 months, millions of peoples’ savings will be wiped out.  He also comments on the 1930′s Great Depression and notes that it was used by a select few to become rich.

I was speaking to several close friends about two weeks ago regarding our current economic situation.  They had asked my opinion on what the short-term forecast would be and I laid out the fact that gold would be going back down to $1,730-1,750 per ounce on Dollar vs. Euro fears, Federal Reserve actions and the Euro debt debacle (gold is currently sitting at $1,727).  I recommended that they use that oppurtunity to purchase more precious metals, including silver bullion.  Even with shipping, delivery or dealer fees, they could easily profit from the purchase within a very short time (mid-October?).

This dip in metals’ price is (in my opinion) mostly attributed to yesterday’s announcement by the Federal Reserve of ”Operation Twist” (not totally unlike quantitative easing).  The Federal Reserve plans to flatten the yield curve of the US Treasuries by selling short-term bonds in order to buy long-term bonds.  Coupled with Euro fears, Greek bailouts and more, the stock markets plunged while the Dollar rallied strongly against the Euro.  Currently, the Euro markets are being slaughtered.  The “part-time” gold-buyers jumped ship and fled to the Dollar in order to make a profit and falsely consider themselves hedged against trouble.  This is what I call a False Dollar Rally… similar to the Sucker Rally that occurs almost weekly in the stock market....

Finally, serious economists are considering a position I have been maintaining and writing about since the 2008 financial meltdown. Whatever its name— erasure, repudiation, abolishment, cancellation, jubilee—debt forgiveness, will have to eventually emerge forefront in global efforts to solve an ongoing systemic financial crisis.

“On a grand scale the only way to erase counterfeit money and (counterfeit) assets of hundreds of trillions of dollars is to erase the debts associated with those fake assets. (Let me underscore again, these are not “toxic” assets, they are fake assets.)… Forgiveness in general, and forgiveness of debt in particular, stand as virtues if they free us up to acknowledge, address, and learn from our culpability, start anew, and create forward.” (The Big Squeeze, Part 3: The Quiet Rebellion: Civil Disobedience, Local Markets, and Debt Erasure (January 29, 2011)

10 Reasons to Become Self-Sufficient
