RE: Could B. Hussein Obama Find Himself On Trial For Treason?

If it ever even just LOOKED like it was going to happen, he'd bug out back to Kenya where he was really born, and thumb his nose at us the whole flight there!! One has to be an actual citizen of a country before they can be charged with treason against that country. At best, one might make a claim that he was an agent provocateur or a spy stick, but treason? He'd never let himself stand for that charge.

RE: I Don't Get The Gold Thing

Oh Good Grief!! NOBODY why really comprehends financial systems and the necessity of a fair exchange, would ever put up tripe such as this!
What happens in a REAL economy, how and why it works for all, is that each one of us contributes some of our LABOR into it. When we provide goods or services to others, we need a medium of exchange to make transactions easier instead of hauling our goods all over the place while looking for someone who wants to make a trade with us with something that we want from them. Gold, silver and copper fill that need because they take a lot of physical labor to collect! The old saying about something being worth its weight in gold, comes from when people needed spices and salt to preserve meats, and the amount of time/labor to collect a certain weight of them was about equal to what it took to get an ounce of gold! So they traded equally, or "on par" with each other. The labor represented by the spices was equal to the labor represented by the gold! The gold bought the spices and the spices bought the gold.
But when you are dealing with fiat paper currencies, and electronic bookkeeping entries that are just created out of thin air or electrons, the whole system goes out of whack and you get "inflation", which is only a demand for more and more of the fake medium of exchange for your goods and services due to the decrease in the perceived purchasing power of the fiat paper and electronic bookkeeping entries!!! The equation of this for that must remain in balance! In 1925, an ounce of gold would buy a man a pretty nice suit, and today, an ounce of gold will still buy a man a pretty nice suit! Why is that? The suit has the same amount of value and human labor added up in it, as does the gold, but the fiat paper has LOST its value! Is this really so hard to see??
