OPEN CALL to ALL RP Freedomists: The Case for Natural Money.

I'd like to forward an excellent article,
http://mises.org/story/3340

and an accompanying audio clip,
http://mises.org/MultiMedia/mp3/audioarticles/3340_Smith.mp3

further delving into WHY we must understand the concept of "Natural Money."

After discovering that article at Mises.org, in February of this year, I like to play it again, from time to time, to remind myself, WHY getting rid of the FED is truly important:

Beyond the "Creature from Jekyll Island" secret meeting saga, beyond the fact that it's private, or that the Warfare & Welfare State cannot exist without it, and how both socialists and fascist/corporatists benefit from it, or that it is the tool of neo-serfdom, techno-panopticon prison grid of the NWO, the real reason why understanding the concept of Natural Money is important is precisely because it can, and will lead to solutions, AGAINST the Fed.Res. fiat, fractional banking system.

It helps us understand the foundations, of the intellectual bedrock that is even more fundamental: what is "money?"

Is it just a medium to facilitate an exchange of goods and/or services? How did some media come to be accepted over time to be considered "money?" In some islands in Micronesia, gigantic stone disks with holes in the middle were used as money. Centuries ago, in England, tree branches with notches/teeth were split into two halves: one were kept in the King's or a "lord's" treasury, while the other half were further split into sections to be denominated for monetary purposes, as so well illustrated in the 3hr tour de force documentary, The Money Masters.

Sure, gold and silver are money, but the article and audio help us understand the historical and human behavioral context, in which, it evolved to be accepted by the market.

Humans accepted certain media such as gold and silver to be "money," because of its perceived, and factual, lack of loss in value. The People determined it. Kings and Parliaments used it as such, long AFTER gold and silver have ALREADY demonstrated that the People would accept it, as a means of exchange.

Simply put, WE the PEOPLE, DECIDE WHAT IS, and WHAT IS NOT MONEY, NOT the guv 'ment.

This also helps us understand the fallacy of the American Monetary Institute's (Monetary.org) director Stephen A. Zarlenga's contention that money can ONLY be dictated as a governmental edict. Zarlenga and Am.Monetary Inst. is also pertinent to our discussion because his organization is responsible for Dennis Kucinich's competing bill H.R.2424.

Monetary.org is merely pushing for creating a wrap-around bureaucracy around the Fed.Res., absorb it into the Treasury Dept., and pretty much take over ALL its functions, except for printing notes with interest tacked on, against the American taxpayer. Other than that, it will still be used to central plan interest rates, and dictate the market. Not to mention the liberal thinktank has NO wish to rid its sister institution, the IRS, as most of us here do.

Definitely worth a read, and a listen, if not, multiple times. If anything, it'll help us all hone our arguments, against the Keynesians and proponents of FDR-era anti-True Free Market policies, not to mention those who dislike to talk about money and finance in general, like your family and friends.

-Enjoy!

and I am almost talking communist. He wants to reclaim the commons and completely reverse any attempts to privatize. Check out comrade Kucinich's speech here: http://www.monetary.org/ scroll down.

Nice & friendly guy in D.C. who answered the phone.

I told him that if the Congressman doesn't sign on to 1207, then he should give a clear legitimate reason why because a lot of people are interested.

I think when politicians start seeing the tide turning, as it is, they will be forced to confront the Federal Reserve problem or be voted out.

FYI, here's a video of Elizabeth Kucinich slamming the Fed-

I think, in addition to the phone bomb, Ohioans need to step up and pay him a visit. He's your Congressman and accountable to you.

Ask him what his bill accomplishes that HR1207 doesn't. And if there's anything of substance, ask if he can work with Dr Paul on HR1207 rather than introducing another bill. Also, introducing HR2424 does not preclude him from co-sponsoring HR1207.

We've all seen these visits on YouTube with very positive outcomes. If anyone does go, please bring a camcorder and post the video.

he remembered me calling from yesterday! lol
i don't mince words when i call. i tell them exactly how i feel...lol

he would not tell me if the office was getting calls about HR 1207 - something like it not cool or whatever....blah, blah blah!

KEEP CALLING!!!

Ron Paul is my President

I had called a few weeks back to pump HR1207. This time I called to ask why HR2424 was necessary. They're not answering questions. It was all very pleasant. I said I believed Dennis had lost a great deal of his national supporters over this issue and it would be helpful if he issued some sort of press release explaining how his bill was different and why it's better/necessary. They said "Ok, thank you."

I simply said that I knew Rep. Kucinich is interested in the topic because he has submitted legislation regarding it. I acknowledged that I am not in his district, yet I am urging him to co-sponsor HR1207. His office was very pleasant and it was a pleasure talking with them

Dennis Kucinich is not one of my favorite politicians. I remember him and his track record when he was Mayor of Cleveland. He is unpredictable and too much of a wild card. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Kucinich.

Dennis is all for Dennis. I am surprised that his constituents have not figured that out.

Three calls would be more effective than one. ;-)

and I was pleadingly nice.
I used to be a fan of Kucinich's...I even sent him money after he said that he supported Ron Paul while he was trying to push impeachment. He started to lose me with the "National Watermelon Day" thang and it's been a downward spiral ever since. If he doesn't co-sponsor 1207, it will be the final straw for me and I stated that fact in my message.
