When I traveled to Europe, at least before 2008, I was seen as some kind of rock star or a rich guy, even though I may not have been rich.. I was spending U.S. Dollars, I was associated with \u201cAmericanism\u201d, you know, blue jeans and Coca-Cola. Using dollars gave me a social status, a means of expressing myself and associating with others. I could have just as easily exchanged my money for Canadian Dollars and claimed to be a Canadian, or even an Australian. These would have been different expressions of myself and created entirely different associations with others.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> The \u201cmoney\u201d we use today, or currency as it is correctly named, is not mined with human labor and ingenuity, it&#8217;s fabricated in a counterfeiting scheme in which only a certain, small group of people reap the benefits and the vast majority of people who are forced to use it, must do so at their own peril. The currency we use today, it&#8217;s not the \u201cdollar\u201d, it&#8217;s a Federal Reserve Note, a bank note, an \u201cI.O.U.\u201d, or technically, a \u201cperpetual bond\u201d. The holder of a unit of this currency is not holding money or an asset, he is holding a liability, a debt. The \u201ccreditor\u201d is the Federal Reserve Bank. Merely holding \u201cFRNs\u201d, as they have come to be called, is a tax. As the government borrows these notes into existence and spends them, the buying power of the people forced to use them diminishes, it&#8217;s a tax. The value of their labor is diminished. The value (not to be confused with price) of their goods is diminished, and these people are forever forced to \u201chop\u201d from one situation to another in order to avoid the adverse effects of this diminishing value, or the \u201ctaking of their property\u201d. How can this diminishing value be distinguished from the taking of property? It cannot.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> Money, or even currency, has always been one of the means by which people associate with others, express themselves and protect their wealth. Forcing people to use a certain currency, especially the Federal Reserve Note, violates our rights to free speech, freedom of association and due process of law regarding the taking of property without due process of law and the right to redress of grievances. It is important to note that people do not derive these rights from a written document, the First Amendment or any series of written words anywhere. They derive these rights from their creator, whoever they individually believe that to be. People had these rights long before words were written anywhere. Therefore, no individual or group of individuals (corporation, church, government, etc.) may deprive the people of these rights and remain in the right, or in good standing with them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> It&#8217;s time for people to reclaim their rights as we now have the means and the urgency. Adopt cryptographic currency and use it with precious metals in private vault services and boycott bank notes. It&#8217;s that simple.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What if the government passed a law requiring everyone to wear blue uniforms in the same style, and you had to buy the uniform from the government, or a single business designated by the government, and no one was permitted to sell any uniforms in competition with the government?
