Civics

Money is fundamentally a civil right. In early human history,

• Nature customarily regulated what served as [and the value of] the common currency in various forms according to the local needs, wants and capabilities of the People while

• Government, more or less justly, protected its use with laws such as the prohibition of theft.

“Money Changers” soon understood that because fundamental, physical human needs and wants are reliably similar across the world, different currencies [foreign to one another] could be reliably [and more or less justly] compared and exchanged like weights and measures.

But when it became clear to corrupt human hearts and minds that the common currency could be manipulated in a plethora of ways [illegally by deception and legally by fiat] to rob and oppress the People, “Money Counterfeiters”, including criminals, kings and central bankers, began to experiment with perverting money and credit in every imaginable way to circumvent and exploit the civil rights of the People. This moral deviance and its pervasive results are best summarized by combining observations by banker Mayer Rothschild and economist JM Keynes who stated the following truths on which all modern counterfeiters rely and gamble:

• "Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws. ... The few who understand the system, will either be so interested in it's profits or so dependent on it's favors, that there will be no opposition from that class." - Mayer Amschel Rothschild

• “Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.” JM Keynes, “The Economic Consequences Of The Peace” 1920

The drafters of the US Constitution understood the potential for monetary and credit practices to subvert civil rights and accordingly put the regulation of money and public credit in the hands of the People via Congress in Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 5-6. They originally intended that our money and credit should be made transparent and remain connected to the real world by being redeemable in gold and silver as real assets which could not be financially manipulated by corrupted public officials in Congress or unelected third party central bankers for partisan profit subverting social justice. We see this subversion clearly today as the Federal Reserve via massive counterfeiting picks winners [the insiders] and losers [the People] in broad daylight.

Those who might still claim that monetary policy can be separated from civil rights need only notice that the omnipotent Federal Reserve is now being called on to adopt policies to affirm civil rights in effect transferring the power of the People via Congress to a cabal of global central bankers in what has become a frontal assault on Democracy in the Republic by the financial elite and their patrons in the banking and corporate worlds.

That the subversion of money spawns social disorder is beyond argument. The Apostle Paul agreed with Keynes' prophecy above when he observed that:

• “[T]he love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” - 1 Tim 6:10

And so today, the churches of America, from all religions, must join with the many remaining honest civil servants to defend the civil right of the People to HONEST MONEY by

• affirming the original intentions of the US Constitution that our money, along with foreign currencies, be regulated solely and directly by the People via a duly elected Congress and be backed by redemption on demand at fixed rates by real gold and silver and

• denouncing modern central bank counterfeiting of the common currency and government securities as an unconstitutional violation of both the commands of God and the constitutional, civil rights of the People.
