Thanks for the recommendation.

Kennedy is rolling in his grave right now.

Ms. Taylor Caldwell is the author of "The Devil's Advocate'. The story takes place circe 1971 USA.

I agree that this all began with Kennedy. But may I add that, Kennedy was when, THEY got caught. This was when we began to see the truth for the first time. This was my turning point when this happened. This has been going on since the beginning of time. Most prominent signs surfaced at WWI and then when Hitler took back Germany. These were the first signs, still hidden when THEY were being exposed. From my book, "They and the Implementation of Chaos Theory". Read The Devil's Advocate to a follow up to Rand's work.
Written in 1952. These authors saw something that was not being placed out into the media's version to the public.

From Kennedy’s speech to associated business publications 10/12/60 excerpt...
“In short, why should my party, if successful, want to change the fundamental structure of a system which has performed so well? Where the performance is inadequate, we would hope to improve it. Where there are economic injustices, we would hope to correct them”.

“But this would be basically true regardless of who wins. No President - Democratic or Republican - will be satisfied with growing unemployment, lagging economic growth or excessive price inflation that adversely affects our trade with other nations as well as our stability here at home.”
Hmmm. Continues ...
“5. Finally, there is proper concern about our balance of payments and the recent drain of gold. It is vital that we keep our exports well ahead of our imports in order to cover our commitments abroad - our military forces around the world, our diplomatic obligations, our military aid, and our assistance to underdeveloped nations. But there is still no substitute - for the Nation as well as the individual - for a good cash position; and the difference between our exports and imports today (although somewhat better than last year) is still not enough to meet our obligations around the world.

It is in these five areas of concern - economic growth, unemployment, the business cycle, price stability, and our balance of payments - that I think we can do better, that I think we must do better. And I believe that most businessmen share my concern - and share my belief that we can do better.”
“First, my administration would use monetary policies more flexibly than the Republicans. The Republicans adopted the seemingly simple and easy policy of tightening interest rates when demand was strong and prices were rising - a principle that requires allowing rates to fall when the economy needed stimulation. But the facts of the matter are that each successive peak and each successive valley in the economy has ended with higher and higher interest rates - with the result that paradoxically high rates accompanied heavy unemployment, low production, and a slack economy.
For this policy has not worked. By periodically cutting back on investment, it has held back on a normal, healthy rate of growth. By staying tight too long, as it did in the fall of 1957 when the storm signals were already flying for the recession of 1958 - by the Federal Reserve Board's tight credit - by the defense stretchout of 1958 - it helped to bring on that and other recessions. And, by penalizing most those who must borrow from banks for investment or homebuilding, it is weighted in favor of the larger corporations, which have access to the open market or which can invest from their own earnings”
“A Kennedy administration would not rely upon lopsided monetary policy. It would maintain greater flexibility for investment, expansion and growth. It would not raise interest rates as an end in itself. Without rejecting monetary stringency as a potential method of curbing extravagant booms, we would make more use of other tools.

Secondly, and in this connection, we would use the budget as an instrument of economic stabilization. I believe that the budget should normally be balanced. The exception apart from a serious or extraordinary threat to the national security is serious unemployment. In boom times we should run a surplus and retire the debt. When men and plant are unemployed in serious numbers, the opposite policies are in order. We should seek a balanced budget over the course of the business cycle with surpluses during good times more than offsetting the deficits which may be incurred during slumps.

I submit that this is not a radical fiscal policy. It is a conservative policy”.

Could you imagine BuyDem or Harris giving a speech anything like this?
Well I guess Plagerizing Joe might have back in the day when he stole peoples speeches verbatim.

Good point.

Maybe not because he didn't commit suicide.

Were the clintons at work back then?

Yes for growing food you are producing produce.
You “plant” seeds and a crop grows. If you have a philosophers stone you can “ produce” gold from lead. Fact is, the gold that was formed with the planet is mined not grown and it has to be extracted.

You keep harping on the definition of worthless and ignore the word Becoming (the process of coming to be ) it makes a difference with that noun meaning any process of change.

Regarding your story , it’s nice , but I see it this way!
1964 minimum wage was $1.25 per hour
$10 dollars per day.
Working 1 hr You could buy at $35 per oz .0357 of an ounce. Today that is worth $71.42 per hour
A full day at minimum wage was $10 you could buy .285 oz. today that gold equates to $571.42 a day for minimum wage based on the value of gold today.
This is how bad we have been ripped off ,raped and pillaged by the crony capitalist technocrates.
We really have no idea how good things could have been for all Americans if we hadn’t been sedated and pillaged by the slavemasters.

I said of course BECOMING worthless. I thinQ that distinction is obvious and it is ridiculous to discuss it any further. If you disagree with the chart that clearly shows a dramatic decline in the value of the dollar, please do explain.

In English 'worthless' means 'without value'. That does not mean for every person who determines value but to an individual determining the value to him.

The graph does not show anything about the value of the dollar since when gold price was pegged by the US government at $32 per ounce and then $42 per once there was only market evaluation for it in finished goods. Back in the 1940s my father was a union butcher for an A&P store. He earned $25 per week and could buy about 3/4 once of gold with a weeks salary. Today, on a salary of $20 per hour, one could buy, with your worthless dollars at today's high gold prices which fluctuate greatly, about the same amount when the price is low. Last year the price neared $2000 per once so one could only purchase about a 1/3 of an ounce. Even though the flow of dollars to a worker is greater, the value of the more valuable stuff of today is in a way cheaper, more for the money.

It is common to use that meaning for 'produce' rather than a definite method such as extraction or reaping as with grain. One produces wheat, e.g., rather combining when speaking about wheat on the market.

Not really. In any event, as shown in the video, it had to be a frangible bullet -a bullet that shatters into small bits on contact. The AR-15 (M-16 at the time) fires just that kind of bullet, and Oswald was not using that type of ammo. His rifle was not designed for it, and the bullets found from Oswald’s rifle were fully jacketed and intact.

My thoughts exactly. The investigator provides the most reasonable explanation I’ve come across. It is simple, and fits the facts. Believable.

I was an avid reader of JFK assassination theories and gathered a great deal of books and papers on the subject. A few years ago I decided I'd never really know and cleaned out the shelves of books and donated them to the Salvation Army. This explanation is the best I've seen so far.

It had to be something other than an AR15.

My Grandmother told me that in 1933 the federal government requested from all citizens to surrender their gold coins.
She said that everyone complied.

I asked her "why" ?
She replied that back in those days we trusted our government.

It’s really simple English.
Worthless... not as valuable.
Worth more... more valuable.
Did you see the graph by chance. Sheesh.

Oh and by the way Gold is extracted not produced.
Hence the search for the philosophers stone.

If the dollar is becoming worthless, why can one buy gold. The market will determine the prices. There are no intrinsic prices. Just as space and time are relative because light has a finite speed, prices are relative because the amount purchasing power is finite. In the case of light the speed is constant. In the case of purchasing power, it is constantly changing so relative prices keep changing, large changes when government butts its slimy selves in the market. With gold, which is high demand metal which is costly to produce, the increasing demand causes large price increases. If one wants more stable prices, ban government from economics. Wont happen just as it was not possible to ban government from religion. It was tried in the bill of rights but failed badly.

I think I saw that documentary. The frangible bullet theory makes sense. And people smelling gunpowder on the ground. Gunpowder smoke is not likely to waft down to street level from the 4th floor.

ThanQ Storo:)

That’s what I think.

It started when the government started printing money, and then defaulted under Nixon. Now its out of control.

You can also buy it at Amazon, and I believe there is a book by the same name.
Good luck!!

Only if you are mentally deficient or not yet past toddlerhood would you NOT remember where you were on that international news day.
