Paper Tigers
Rod Remelin
To exchange this thing called a Federal Reserve Note, for anything of worth, falls to the holder -- for it is only within their willingness to accept for goods, and services, a collected script. . . that the current system of mass theft, might still be made possible.
When a thing that has no value is denominated or assigned such by the association of that which does. . . it becomes imperative for those proclaiming this to 'now be so', to outwardly demonstrate the benefits, and rewards for supporting such , by repetitiously pointing out the convenience, and good sense in it to start with.
Take for instance Gold and Silver, they both have built-in-intrinsic-value, that will never be questioned, ever, and not because they're perceived to be worth so many Federal Reserve Notes, but because there is value in their rarity, and safety of forever remaining a constant portable-medium-of-exchange, no matter what exigencies, circumstantial to ones life, might be occurring at any given moment.
When you are told that Gold and Silver are now worth so many dollars, it is with the understanding that you have already accepted that the thing pointed up to as 'a dollar', does indeed have value; thus through your continued complicity, by helping the thief load the contents of your house into his van, you make possible, the expropriation of all your material wealth. Dollars are a unit of weight, making no such comparisons to paper and ink, they can only be created from rare metals, that weight having been determined to be so much of gold and so much of silver, in specified purities, deeming them worthy of becoming dollars.
There is no paper in existence that has any intrinsic value whatsoever, other than to make known or declare a thing to the reader. To take paper in exchange for labor, land, or rare metals, is proof positive that value is subjective in this world and can be overlaid at the whim of anyone who can successfuly sell the benefit of such, and performance be damned.
