Deficit spending and inflation are a tool by the government to freely spend while simultaneously eroding our wealth. Did you know the Constitution protects us from this tactic initiated through the Federal Reserve (FED) in 1913?

Sole power over money is given to Congress in Article I, section 8: “To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin.” Since 1913, Congress unconstitutionally transferred this power to a Board of Governors and twelve privately chartered regional banks. The formation of the FED was a major step to tyranny right out of The Communist Manifesto: “Centralizing credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank.“
What has happened since the FED implemented the Marxist, Keynesian economic system in 1913?
Fiduciary currency backed by lawful currency, silver or gold, was outlawed in 1971. Each time the FED creates more dollars by printing or digital clicks, dollars become worth less. There is no limit on the quantity created out of thin air.
Observing this habitual spending of other people’s money, it becomes obvious to me why in the 1940s my dad paid a nickel for a cup of coffee, and bread in the 1950s was two loaves for 29 cents. As money loses its value, it takes more dollars to buy the same item. Ignorance is not bliss; it’s expensive.
The national debt in 1913 was 1 billion. Today it’s over 30 trillion.
In 1913, again right out of the Communist Manifesto, Congress also passed the XVI Amendment: “A heavy or progressive income tax.”Article I, Section 8, gives the power of taxation to Congress but stipulates that taxes shall be uniform throughout the United States, which eliminates progressive taxes. Because of ignorance of the supreme law of the land, citizens and officeholders failed to uphold the Constitution but rather accelerated economic suicide. Keynes was correct when he prophetically stated his economic system would be the“ euthanasia of capitalism.”
The failures of the past do not have to direct our future. Thomas Jefferson gives us the remedy for this severe lack of knowledge about our Constitution:
“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.”
An uninformed electorate is an enemy of liberty and the best friend of tyrants. Again, ignorance is not bliss, it is expensive and the most powerful weapon our enemies have. Citizens who love their liberty need to search for the power of true knowledge that has been purposely denied them for generations.
A good place to start is to contact The John Birch Society Field Coordinator Matthew Rhodes at 207-391-0970 about “The CONSTITUTION IS THE SOLUTION,” a seven-week seminar now going on several places in New Hampshire.”
