Usually I don't talk about this. About all I can do is watch events, recognize, identify, and bite my tongue.
Right now a war is raging, a war over 100 years old, a war to suppress specie (gold and silver) money and replace it with bank money.
It's easy to write off someone like me as a monetary crank. After all, the federal government was after him and there was a long trial and he was acquitted, but you know, where there's smoke, there's fire. And then there was a state trial, and he was convicted. Besides, doesn't he know the economy and finance have progressed so much that they've outgrown silver and gold?
THE FUN OF VICTIMHOOD
Unless you have ever been the victim of a US government persecution (sic -- I did not write prosecution), you cannot even dimly appreciate the bloodthirsty viciousness of the US criminal justice system and its thugs. They identify a victim, ruin his business, destroy his family, scare off his friends, and then, after he has been suitably marinated in sorrow and fear and grief, they indict him. By then, most poor souls plead guilty simply to end the misery.
Almost every reader will resist believing that, because you want to believe that in the US we still have the rule of law.
We don't. The grand jury system designed to protect us against malicious prosecution was hijacked by prosecutors decades ago, hence the famous brag by a US Attorney that he could "indict a ham sandwich." Judges work with prosecutors to suppress evidence and convict victims. Trial juries are denied knowledge of their ancient right to judge the facts and the law. Federal and state agents meet and focus on "troublemakers," whom they then jointly attack. Over the past 25 years, under cover of the war on drugs and the war on terror, the US justice system has become even more vicious and more corrupt.
This is not law enforcement. It's a police state.
WHY THE WAR ON SPECIE?

excellent advice
Everybody get some, and start presenting the notion to all the retailers with whom you transact. And understand we may have to give up on the Big Boxes, but so be it. The entire mechanism is already in place. USGov has been minting the gold and silver coin since 1986, and for making change there are still millions of fractional silver pieces from before 1965. At an operative discount of 95 or 96 % even your average wheat cent could be doing the work of twenty cents or a quarter. Many of us already have our currency, and merchants would be well advised to stock up on small change.
