Comments on: The Great Gold Robbery http://jimbovard.com/blog/2006/12/06/the-great-gold-robbery/ Author James Bovard Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:47:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Tim http://jimbovard.com/blog/2006/12/06/the-great-gold-robbery/#comment-120240 Tim Thu, 05 Mar 2009 16:57:55 +0000 http://jimbovard.com/blog/2006/12/06/the-great-gold-robbery/#comment-120240 The US got into WWII because the US implemented an oil embargo on Japan. FDR claimed he did not want to go to war but his administration actually planned on it to get us out of the Great Depression. Pearl harbor was the sacrificial lamb and the government knew all about it. If you research it enough, you will find that there were so many errors made in security just prior to Dec 7 1941 that it could be nothing else but a plan to go to war. It wasn't until 1943 that we returned to employment levels of 1928. Going to war was a last resort to end the depression. Currently, Saudi Arabia won't take the US dollar for debt payment. They are demanding gold. What will happen if China does the same. Bury your gold now and get it out of safe deposit boxes if you have any because the gov't will raid them if it follows in the steps of FDR. I have seen at least 3 newsletters already from reputable groups that say the end of personal ownership of precious metals is about to end.

Coupled with an income tax to revolve payments on the debt.

It was his own perfidy that made the gold default and gold seizure so devastating to many Americans. He and his halfwit economic theorists... and his moon cow Brain Trust that thought Stalin was the model for the future... whig - yes, FDR had a choice.
