    I had never thought of him in that fashion. Something to think over and discuss.

    Start me out with the similarities. Thanks.

    Competing currencies is a fact.

    On the table or under the table.
    :rolleyes:

    What did you have in mind?
    Some mantra, maybe ;)
    I prefer on the table with an :flagus: $
    at its' value internationally. No give aways.
    Also that "they" not be able to inflate the value of the :flagus: $
    against their currencies making their "products" cheaper to sell in :flagus:.



    Moi :oldman:
    BRICS - What happened?
    They can't break free of the :flagus: $

    Even though the Trump team parrots the same things over and over about the Russians, one wonders where is the written authentic truth?

    Why does Putin keep denying nether he nor his country officially tried to tamper with our election?

    Russians might try to tamper as can say the Australian who has hid from the Swedish authorities and not represent either Russia, the Swedes or Australia. People do things for their reasons for their purposes.

    Does not mean by my posting i post for the entire USA government.

    Paul inquires into the serious charges. Charges that upon time and spoiling for a fight can lead to war.

    I have always supported Congressman Paul. If Trump had named him as Secretary Of Treasury instead of the typical Goldman Sachs bank swindler like Manuchin, I would have believed he was really trying to drain the swamp. I do not like seeing his son Rand sucking up to Trump.

    No clue that you are talking about. I did not use Menendez as a source .. I used Ron Paul as a source. The only Menendez is a one line quote to which Ron Paul is responding - The purpose of which is to show that Menendez was a propaganda clown.

    But it does not stop with Menendez - most of Congress has been spreading the same lies.

    He is an idiot when it comes to the economy and monetary policy.
    What does it make you when you claim an MD is good at economics?

    Says the guy who does not know the difference between trade in the US dollar (currency trading) and the Bond market - trade in US debt/T-Bills

    Says the guy who thinks naked claims constitute proof of claim.

    Says the guy who things repetition of claim constitutes proof of claim.

    Who is the idiot ?

    True, true, true! And so is Rand Paul. I would have loved to see Rand Paul as Trump's VP.

    Both Ron & Rand Paul had the right ideas similar to Trump but they were not aggressive enough and made for rather weak leaders. In comparison, Trump is a killer and extremely aggressive and that is exactly what is needed to go up against those from all sides that basically sold out the USA for the sake of power & control on a global scale.

    Pense??? What does he do besides wait quietly to take over if Trump can be successfully eliminated?

    All the above is reason I'd like to see Ron or Ran Paul as Trump's VP which would hopefully be the balancing element that would tame Trump to where he needs to be. In other words, to balance strong leadership & aggression with the voice of reason.

    Good to hear, and more power to his elbow; I don't need to tell anyone that the US administrations could use more like him. But what can one man do against the swamp creatures? Answer - sweet FA! But as Tim15856 says above (I've just read it) - the entire establishment would come down on him like a ton of bricks.

    How is it that the losers make it into high political office but the intelligent guys don't? Our equivalent of that is we have a deluded and traitorous woman in office when we really need Nigel Farage, or someone like Jacob Rees-Mogg.

    He's an idiot for endorsing free markets? The most successful form of economic organization in human history? Interesting theory.

    Correct, I should think.

    Too much freedom, not enough Soviet-style central planning.

    Not suprising ron paul doesnt believe every gov agency that has investigated this. Based on his no doubt extensive research himself.

    Fact remains what they are, that the doesnt want to believe becuase he doesnt trsut the source matters little.

    Yes there is no doubt the syrian president is a war criminal, anyone who has any clu on syria will see this.

    That they are fighting other war criminals and terrorists doesnt matter.

    No it wasnt, and the hisotry starts at the 2004 'riggied by russia' elections not 2014 . But not suprising he ignores anything he doesnt like

    By trying to influence the eelctions they are attacking, if you cant see that he's gone senile.

    As for evidence : CIA/FBI/NSA all have the same conclusion, and no this "russia elected trump" is just BS strawman argument.


    Tell that to the apartheidsregime in south africa. But not suprising he ignores anything he doesnt like

    The argument against the fed is that our entire life has a monetary value. Yet, the issuing power of money through the fed is privately owned and its businesses are shrouded in secret. Yes, we are privy to a little of that information, but a true audit has never been done.

    This is entirely unethical. Any non-idiot would want to know who’s issuing the money that they have in their bank account.

    RPs stance with currency is a result of his failed audit bills. If they’re not going to open the books, with the unethical implications of the feds practice, just print from the treasury and go tell those idiots to go F themselves.

    Ron Paul isn’t an idiot for his stance on the fed. It in fact makes him smarter than 99% of this moronic population. Either a person is ignorant, or a shill to support the kind of monetary system we have. NO PERSON in their right mind would willingly accept this system.

    The reason why fed is successful is exactly because of the way it’s designed - no one in the world controls it. No president of congress can force the fed to do something to help populist ideas. In many countries a prime minister or a president has direct control over central bank which can then be forced to just print the currency to pay government’s bills. In the us it’s impossible and that’s why American economy was so stable for such a long time. Many countries, including EU, model their banking system after the US. The only way to get currency out of the Fed is to give it something of value - precious metals or debt.

    If it works, why fix it?

    Ron Paul might be a good MD, but it doesn’t make him a good economist. I wouldn’t hire him as an analyst even for an entry-level position. He should stick to what he really knows and stop making a fool out of himself.

    Ohh, and how Fed issues money is no secret. Just because you don’t understand it - doesn’t mean no one does. It’s all open information.

    Not when it comes to currency.
    Take an Econ class, you might learn something.

    I think it’s insane that we have people who follow someone who never formally studied economics and believe every word he says. Just because he knows how to assist a mother to deliver a baby doesn’t mean he has proper understanding of economics.

    Just admit it - you can’t prove that multiple currencies will work.

    Did I offend your god?
    I didn’t throw a personal insult at you, and this is how you respond?
    Do you have anything reasonable to respond with?
    Ron Paul followers remind me Apple fans - everything must be a Mac or an iPhone. Apple never made a mistake and always produced the best machines in the world. I had a co-worker once who we had to force to use Excel Online in OneDrive because it was Microsoft, nevermind the fact that it allowed for better functionality. You guys are just like her!
