Support H.R. 9157 – To define the dollar as a fixed weight of gold, and for other purposes.  This bill is designed to preserve cash against the push for a central bank digital currency.

PROTECT OUR CASH BY REPEGGING THE DOLLAR TO GOLD

WASHINGTON, DC 10/10/22 – Today, Congressman Alex X. Mooney (House financial Services Committee) introduced H.R. 9157, the “Gold Standard Restoration Act.”

The legislation calls for the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve to publicly disclose all gold holdings and gold transactions within 30 months, after which time the Federal Reserve note “dollar” would be pegged to a fixed weight of gold at its then-market price.  Federal Reserve notes would become fully redeemable for and exchangeable with gold at the new fixed price, with the U.S. Treasury and its gold reserves backstopping Federal Reserve Banks as guarantor.

“The gold standard would protect against Washington’s irresponsible spending habits and the creation of money out of thin air,” said Congressman Alex X. Mooney.”  Prices would be shaped by economics rather than the instincts of bureaucrats.  No longer would our economy be at the mercy of the Federal Reserve and reckless Washington spenders.”

BACKGROUND: The Gold Standard Restoration Act also makes several findings as to the harm the Federal Reserve System has inflicted on everyday Americans – particularly since President Richard Nixon “temporarily suspended” gold backing of America’s monetary system in 1971.

The Federal Reserve note has lost more than 30 percent of its purchasing power since 2000, and 97 percent of its purchasing power since the passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913.  Economists have observed that the elimination of gold redeemability from the monetary system freed central bankers and federal government officials from accountability when they irresponsibly expand the money supply, fund government deficits though trillion-dollar bond purchases, or otherwise manipulate the economy.

The bill would also require full disclosure of all central bank and U.S. government gold holdings and gold-related financial transactions over the last 6 decades. H.R. 9157 requires the Fed and the Treasury to disclose all records pertaining to redemptions and transfers of United States gold in the 10 years preceding the temporary suspension in August 15, 1971, of gold redeemability obligations.

It is past time to reign in the U.S. Federal Reserve cabal, a cartel that acts against the public interest and conspires with government cronies to line their own pockets and expand the powers of the wealthy elite to control the citizenry.  I have read and am in full support of HR-9157, the Gold Standard Restoration Act. If passed into law, it is my strong feeling that this bill will;

1. Restore a healthy, free market economy that will allow people like me to thrive economically and ensure the present and future prosperity of my family.

2. This bill will prevent the planned surveillance system that will destroy my privacy by placing me under 24/7 surveillance with Central Bank Digital Currency.

3. By strengthening the dollar through tying the dollar to gold, this will give me greater purchasing power by allowing for more market stability and preventing the market manipulation that comes with the present fiat currency and the pressure to move to a digital fiat currency.

4. The passage of this bill will protect my privacy in how I use my money and protect my right to use my hard-earned cash in the way I please, without government spying, tampering and overreach.

5. The passage of this bill will also prevent the massive money printing through Quantitative Easing that has drastically weakened the U.S. dollar while fueling inflation.

6. The passage of this bill will place the necessary check against irresponsible and harmful Federal Reserve monetary policy and destructive tampering with our free market economy by the U.S. Federal Reserve.   It will also allow for complete transparency in the function of the Federal Reserve and supplant the often secretive relationship between the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Federal government that has led to consistently lousy U.S. monetary policy in almost 100 revisions of the charter of the Federal Reserve.

7. The passage of this bill will take the responsibility of managing U.S. currency and monetary policy out of the hands of central bankers and into the hands of the U.S. Congress, where it belongs, in accordance with our U.S. Constitution.

For these reasons, as your constituent, I urge you and expect you to vote YES on HR-9157, the Gold Standard Restoration Act.

CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY (CBDC) AND THE DIGITAL WALLET/DIGITAL PASSPORT

A central bank digital currency will have the benefit of faster transactions and less fees for money transactions, while eliminating the need to store and protect cash.  You will no longer need a bank account, as your digital money will reside with the Federal Reserve.  Sounds good?  Proponents of CBDC (the wealthy elite) will give you a list of these benefits and more.

In connection to CBDC (central bank digital currency), in 2018, former ID4D Working Group coordinator Mariana Dahan offered a report in which she stated: “But then something terrible happened, something unplanned. In a stream of high-profile security and privacy breaches…the world realized that we are on the cusp of something critical for our humanity.  The risks of creation of an Orwellian system too obvious to be ignored.”

The Center for Human Rights & Global Justice at the NYU School of Law has published this excellent primer entitled Paving a Digital Road to Hell?  You are strongly encouraged to read it and you can download the entire document for free here https://chrgj.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Report_Paving-a-Digital-Road-to-Hell.pdf

THE DANGERS OF CBDC

1. The Digital Wallet on which CBDCs will function is an electronic control grid that the government and the Federal Reserve will use to track your every purchase, where you made the purchase, how much you spent and on what.  CBDC is not cryptocurrency.  It is spyware currency.

2. This control grid will be a massive, worldwide surveillance system that will destroy your privacy.

3. The government will have the ability to turn off your digital wallet, preventing you from gaining access to your money.

4. CBDC will give the government the power to limit when you spend your money, as well as, what you spend your money on.

5. The government will have the ability to prevent you from spending your money on anything the government doe not want you to have and anything the government does not want you to support financially.

You may remember the huge financial support the Canadian trucker protest convoy received through web sites like GoFundMe.  Because these were digital transactions, Prime Minister Trudeau ordered that the money be frozen and the Canadian government confiscated the millions of dollars donated.  Truckers who were to receive the donations had their vehicle insurance and health and life insurance policies canceled.

A similar event occurred recently in Lahore, Pakistan where a CBDC has already been implemented.  The Pakistani government threatened to lock the CBDC accounts of everyone protesting the current regime in the upcoming elections.

6. The government will be able to force you to spend your money when you don’t want to by imposing extensive negative interest rates on your money if you leave the money in your account.

7. The government will be able to take your money for any reason, without just cause and without any court proceeding.

8. The government hates cash because it’s not traceable.  If you spend it, they don’t know that you spent it or how you spent it.  They can’t put you under surveillance with cash.  If you’re the government and you want the central bank digital currency to succeed, you have to eliminate cash because it’s your competition.

IT’S HAPPENING NOW

A central bank digital currency is being planned for the United States and is being fast tracked by the Biden administration and members of Congress. You can view Biden’s executive order 14067 here https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/executive-order-14067-ensuring-responsible-development-digital-assets

Statement by NEC Director Brian Deese and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Digital Assets Framework https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/09/16/statement-by-nec-director-brian-deese-and-national-security-advisor-jake-sullivan-on-digital-assets-framework/

After you read the executive order, you should also examine The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation’s Project Lithium, a plan to build a prototype system for exchanging central bank digital currency and tokenized assets on a distributed ledger to provide for a bank-to-bank infrastructure for clearing digital currency transactions between large commercial banks and central banks. https://www.soonparted.co/p/project-lithium

Then you should study the information on Project Hamilton, a research and development project being run out of MIT to further develop and implement CBDC in a way that the United States becomes the world leader in the issuance, development and control of central bank digital currency.  See Project Hamilton information here https://dci.mit.edu/project-hamilton-building-a-hypothetical-cbdc

Based on the current roll out in other countries, in order to fully establish CBDC around the world, central bankers need the United States, Great Britain and Canada to fully comply.  Then the rest of the world will follow.

Vaccine passports are the tool for this mass manipulation scheme to end all paper currency and establish a worldwide social credit system.

In the U.S., a bill has been introduced in Congress to discontinue paper currency and go to a digital fiat currency.  This bill is in play right now – sponsored by Senator Sherrod Brown (D) Ohio.  The bill was introduced in 2020 and is stalled in the Senate.  It is likely that supporters of the bill in Congress may be trying to roll this up into another bill in order to hide its pending passage from the public.  You can view the bill here. https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/3571/text

A comparable bill has been introduced into the House of Representatives by Rep. Lynch. You can view that bill here. https://lynch.house.gov/_cache/files/1/7/17e47e5a-2bff-42c1-b509-eb8a50931fa6/BDDFF183213326821B5C88B7F326EABB.ecashact-lynch.pdf

You can view the patent document here that the U.S. government has contracted with, guess who? – Yes, none other than Bill Gates/Microsoft and Google to develop the digital wallet currency. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20200151682A1/en

You will notice that item #7 to the right of the document mentions the removal and destruction of all physical currency.

In the meantime, Gates is developing his own digital currency and Visa has also jumped into the act.

Another bill, just introduced, gives Wall Street and the Central bankers the power to track every digital currency spent and control how we spend this digital currency.  It also provides for CBDC to be traded on the stock exchange.  The bill is H.R. 4741 and can be read here https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/4741?s=4&r=8

Also, Gates has formed a better than cash alliance.

I am horrified and angry over H.R. 7231, the Electronic Currency and Secure Hardware (ECASH) Act, Senate Bill 3571 and H.R. 4741.  If passed into law, it is my strong feeling that these bills will;

1. Establish a Digital Wallet on which central bank digital currencies will function as an electronic control grid that the government and the Federal Reserve will be able to use to track my every purchase, where I made the purchase and how much I spent and on what.

2. This control grid will be a massive, worldwide surveillance system that will destroy my privacy by placing me under 24/7 surveillance.

3. The government will have the ability to turn off my digital wallet, preventing me from gaining access to my money. This has already happened in other countries where CBDCs have been established.

4. CBDC will give the government the power to limit when I spend my money, as well as, what I spend my money on.

5. The government will have the ability to prevent me from spending my money on anything the government does not want me to have and anything the government does not want me to support financially.

A similar event occurred recently in Lahore, Pakistan where a CBDC has already been implemented.  The Pakistani government threatened to lock the CBDC accounts of everyone protesting the current regime in the upcoming elections.

Clearly, this can happen here and I am against it.

6. The government will be able to force me to spend my money when I don’t want to by imposing extensive negative interest rates on my money if I leave the money in my account.  This has already happened in Greece, Spain and Argentina.

7. The government will be able to take my money for any reason, without just cause and without any court proceeding.

These bills would usher in violations to my constitutional rights, my human rights and civil liberties.  This is a very dangerous path the Congress is treading that I believe will have devastating consequences for me, my family and all of humanity.

For these reasons, as your constituent, I urge you to work to kill these bills, even before they come up for a vote.  And I vote NO!

NEXT STEPS

We have met with a number of financial analysts and economists and are convinced that the opposition to defeat the implementation of CBDC will have to come from the states, with the commercial banks leading the opposition.  The Fed needs the cooperation of commercial banks to rollout CBDC.  If they don’t get it, they can’t implement CBDC.  In states where there is no state sovereign bank, the commercial banks are the key to the opposition.

We are strongly encouraging people to do the following:

1. Meet with the branch manager of your bank to express your opposition to CBDC.

2. If you know other people who bank at your branch, go in to speak with the branch manager as a group.

3. After meeting with the branch manager, send a letter or a petition (in the case of a group that is known to each other) to both the Vice President and the President of the bank voicing your concerns and asking for a response from the bank that tells you where the bank stands on CBDC and whether or not your bank opposes CBDC.

4. If your bank is not opposed to CBDC, make it known that you are going to bank elsewhere and move your accounts.

In states where a state sovereign bank has been established, this process outlined above needs to take place with the state sovereign bank officials.

Re:  [Your Name Here]  [Your Account No(s). _ ]

Dear [name of bank representative]:

I/We are writing to ask your advice regarding my/our account(s) at Bailey Building & Loan in light of recent financial market revelations that have me/us concerned.

In particular, I/we are concerned by the President’s March 9, 2022 Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets (Executive Order 14067) outlining plans to convert the U.S. monetary system to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and announcements by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York that its “innovation hub” is conducting CBDC prototyping with various major banking institutions—some of the same banking institutions that have been bailed out in the past and called “too big to fail.”

I/We are strongly supportive of local banking and would like to know what I/we and your institution can do to stop this march toward a digital concentration camp. I/We also would be interested to know what information, if any, has been provided to your institution about future plans for the role of banks, savings & loans, and credit unions in the proposed new central bank digital system.

A White House summary of the Executive Order describes the CBDC proposal as the “first whole-of-government approach to addressing the risks and harnessing the potential benefits of digital assets and their underlying technology” and identifies six “key priorities”:

  • Consumer and investor protection
  • Financial stability
  • Countering of illicit finance
  • U.S. leadership in the global financial system and economic competitiveness
  • Financial inclusion
  • Responsible innovation

I/We do not understand what are the potential benefits to people like us of “harnessing the potential benefits of digital assets and their underlying technology.” Does this refer to strengthening the frightening grip of a “control grid” that already collects all manner of financial, family, spending, travel, medical, social media, and other private data in giant, unregulated databases maintained by big tech, members of the military-industrial complex, and others in order to control our future transactions and behavior and limit our financial autonomy?

It strikes me/us that creating a different, yet centrally controlled fiat currency that can be created from thin air and manipulated by unelected central bankers does not promote U.S. financial stability or provide citizens with consumer and investor protections—except in the sense that totalitarian governments can be financially stable through the power of taxation without representation and the ability to micromanage and regulate the spending of families and small enterprise.

Nor does “innovation” seem to be a valid reason to throw out our existing freedoms to transact and replace them with a centrally controlled financial transaction system subject to international mandates and decisions. Managing “illicit finance,” in turn, would seem to be an excuse to justify interference with the transactions of the lawful, and to abolish and potentially seize cash, precious metals, and other stores of value subject to individual control.

Another and possibly related concern is the November 2022 bankruptcy filing by FTX and reported misdeeds of officials of the crypto exchange and some 130 affiliates involving the disappearance of billions or trillions of dollars of customer assets held in cryptocurrency form. The FTX debacle recalls the Enron and Madoff scandals.

This follows the precipitous drop in Bitcoin (which currently is trading 70% below its high) and other cryptocurrency values, and the stories we are hearing about hacking of cryptocurrency and other essential digital records. Whether these developments constitute or will lead to a cryptocurrency “crash” remains to be seen, but the prospect of being forced to hold all of our financial assets in digital form—and particularly a digital form controlled by government or central banks—and being entirely dependent on unreliable digital information systems instead of on cash and bank deposits is frightening.

I/We have read and watched the links provided at the end of this letter and encourage you to review them, too, if you are interested in better understanding the basis for our concerns.

I/We remember the financial crisis in 2008, and it began like this—with problems at Bear Stearns. We trust [name of your bank], where we can receive prompt, in-person customer service, can see where the financial institution’s assets are invested, and can feel secure that the institution is working with local businesses and governments to reinvest in our community. I/We feel your bank is answerable to local community stakeholders and can be relied upon to make trustworthy management decisions and protect our investments.

I/We would like to know what I/we can do to support this and other community financial institutions and how, together with responsible financial institution leaders, we can take action to prevent the institution of central bank digital currencies, further encroachments on our freedom, and moves toward a virtual digital concentration camp, where individual and national sovereignty become a thing of the past.

[If desired, insert specific information about your particular situation and what your individual fears or concerns are, e.g., how long the account(s) has/have been in existence, what other bank assets, like CDs, you hold, etc., how reliant you are upon your savings, how important the bank is to the local community]

I/We would like to make an appointment to meet with you in order to discuss my/our concerns and to determine what actions, if any, I/we should take to protect myself/ourselves financially and how we and our friends and neighbors can help. Please call to let me/us know a convenient time for such a meeting and any other information you can share to help me/us prepare. I/We would be pleased to organize a group information-sharing event at the bank at a time convenient for you.

Thank you for your consideration and interest.

Very truly yours,
