Back when the Dollar was worth something..

IMG_20170704_142920921.jpgFrom 1876-1964 the bills in your wallet or hand could be exchanged at the bank for its measure in silver. The notes were named Silver Certificates. Notice in the photo above it says "Silver Certificate" at the top of the bill. The dollar was actually worth something. Now check out the photo below and look near the bottom it says "One dollar in silver payable to the bearer of this note"

In 1963 President John F Kennedy signed executive order 11110, which in essence would return the US back to the gold standard and insure/back the 4 trillion dollars in notes that were in circulation. He didn't get to return us to the Gold Standard though..he was killed 3 months later. Alot of conspiracy theorists summize it was because the evil bankers wouldn't let that happen because they would lose control on the ecomomy and the power.1499193291324-1940801603.jpg In 1964 the gold standard was abolished and the Federal Reserve had complete control over issuing the new worthless notes backed by a promise and confidence in the fact they'd be worth something. But it was/is nothing and they keep printing them and issuing them to the public while allowing banks to loan out 4 times more than the amount that's in circulation. They just keep printing worthless money. The USA doesn't run or control the Federal Reserve. It's the big banks that aren't looking out for or concerned with Americans interests. Rather than let the markets determine the value of the dollar they manipulate it to suit their own agenda. It's the biggest scheme in monetary history! Here's a bar designed by one of my favorite artists, Heidi Wastweet, that captures the point many have tried to make but noone seems to listen to or care about

The Fed is not Federal and there are No true Reserves. The bank isn't held to any real accountability and the govt doesn't control it. It's an entity if it's own enslaving and essentially controlling the world's economy.
That's a big reason why alot of ppl buy silver and many are getting into crypto currencies. The big bank can't regulate or control them and alot of ppl realise the dollar isn't worth anything. Greedy bankers shouldn't be able to take so much of our money thru fees and services that aren't truly working for the our better interests.

This is a part of why I take my money on payday and buy these. If u look on the bottom of the coins reverse it says $1 dollar but I'd rather have a full oz of silver anyday

So I'm saying keep stacking that silver boys and girls and grab those cryptos! Keep as much of your own money as u can..and away from those dirty rotten banks! I wish everyone a great day
