The End Of Fiat? Multiple States Move To Recognize Gold & Silver As Legal Currency

A dozen states are simultaneously pushing through legislation to undermine the Federal Reserves unconstitutional monopoly on money.

It's no secret that the US economy is in dire straits. With the rising price of goods coupled with the devaluation of the dollar, inflation over the last several years is soaring as the reckless spending and money printing of the government continues unabated.

The financial hardships that Americans are experiencing are a direct result of the fiscal irresponsibility of government monetary policy which has caused a steady decline in the purchasing power of the dollar. From decades of debt brought about by the endless spending to finance forever wars, corporate bailouts, the bloated federal budget, rising taxes, and more recently, the disastrous wealth transfer of the COVID years in the form of the destructive economic impact of lockdown policies and the trillions printed in subsidies under the guise of "stimulus"; the US economy is comparable to the Titanic, and we the people are Jack Dawson.

However, as federal fiscal policy continues to take on water at least a dozen states are attempting to deploy life rafts, exercising their constitutional rights to enact legislation in hopes of once again making sound money an economic standard barer.

Article 1 Section 10 of the United States constitution expressly states that "No state shall… make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts". Based on this simple premise many, most notably former congressman Ron Paul, have argued for decades that the current US monetary system run by the Federal Reserve of printing debt based fiat dollars and policies of price fixing is not only destructive, but completely unconstitutional.

New Israeli Army Chief To Present Plan To Restart Gaza Bombing and Retake Territory

Israeli sources speaking to Haaretz doubt the IDF's ability to draft the amount of reserve soldiers needed for the plan

The new head of the Israeli military is set to present his plan for the renewal of Israel’s campaign in Gaza and operations to retake territory that the IDF left during the first phase of the ceasefire deal, Haaretz reported on Thursday.

Eyal Zamir was sworn in as the IDF’s new chief of staff on Wednesday and vowed that Israel’s “mission” against Hamas has “not yet been completed,” and other Israeli officials have been threatening to restart the genocidal war at a level not seen before.

However, Israeli sources told Haaretz that they doubt the IDF will be able to draft the number of required reservists to enact Zamir’s plan, which requires several troops divisions to be deployed across Gaza. The report said many officers in the reserves have made clear they would not volunteer to return to combat in Gaza since they think it would only be done for political considerations.

Other sources told Haaretz that the Israeli military could restart combat in Gaza again, but the idea that it would be more intense than before is overblown as the IDF wants to keep its forces ready for the possibility of war with Iran.

The Israeli military has been stretched thin as the IDF has invaded southern Syria, continues to occupy southern Lebanon, and has significantly escalated attacks in the West Bank.

The current ceasefire agreement is hanging by a thread as Israel has imposed a total blockade on all goods entering Gaza, a major violation of the deal. The Israeli military has also killed over 100 Palestinians since the truce went into effect on January 19.

On Thursday, Israel carried out a drone strike in Gaza, killing at least three Palestinians. The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that the drone targeted a gathering of civilians east of the Shujaiya neighborhood in Gaza City. For its part, the IDF claimed it targeted people planting bombs but provided no evidence.

Over 50 freed hostages tell Netanyahu: Carry out Gaza ceasefire deal

Freed Gaza hostages call on Netanyahu to bring remaining captives home: "Every minute there is hell, every passing moment is a potential death sentence."

Fifty-six former hostages either released or rescued from Gaza sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday, calling on him to carry out the Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal and ensure the release of all remaining hostages at once.

"We were taken during the massacre on October 7. We've suffered the agony that our loved ones are currently suffering. We have seen the darkness, heard the horrors, breathed the fear," the letter read.

"Cruel torture, abysmal starvation, diseases without treatment - this is their reality at this very moment. We are not truly free whilst they are still (in Gaza). Every minute there is hell, every passing moment is a potential death sentence."

"This may be our final opportunity to save lives, and our final chance to bring the slain hostages before they are lost. Do not let this opportunity pass you by. The entire Israeli people want the hostages home - the living for recovery, the slain for proper burial."

"We demand that you, the prime minister, along with the cabinet members and the government…bring them home by fully implementing the Gaza ceasefire deal - in one release, without delay."

Netanyahu's war against inquiry into October 7 massacre will haunt his legacy

National Affairs | Netanyahu once cited wartime focus as the reason to delay; his shifting arguments reveal deeper concerns—not just about survival, but about how history will judge his leadership.

Entitlement spending is swallowing nearly half the budget. There is no stopping this spending addiction and the government’s checkbook is running out.

The numbers don’t lie. Nearly half of all U.S. government spending now goes to social benefits, a staggering 45% of total outlays in 2024. That’s not just a small increase—it’s a dramatic surge from just a few decades ago. This is a structural shift, not a temporary blip. Every year, more of the budget is eaten up by entitlement programs, with Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security leading the charge.

Medicaid’s share of spending now stands at 9.4%, up significantly from previous years. Medicare isn’t far behind, rising to 10.9%. Meanwhile, Social Security alone now accounts for 14.6% of government expenditures. Add in “other benefits,” which have also jumped to 9.9%, and the picture becomes clear. These programs are swallowing the budget at an accelerating pace.

This isn’t sustainable. There’s a limit to how much can be spent before the entire system collapses under its own weight. Debt is already piling up at record levels, and interest payments could soon outpace even social benefits. The more the government spends on entitlements, the less it has for anything else. What happens when the debt-fueled spending spree finally hits a wall?

Economist Peter Schiff has been warning about this for years, and his words are becoming harder to ignore. “Americans will soon find out the hard way the downside of decades of outsourcing manufacturing and living off trade deficits and the dollar’s reserve status. The coming day of reckoning is long overdue. I hope that when the financial crisis hits, we finally do the right thing.”

The signs are everywhere. Deficits are soaring. The dollar’s dominance is being challenged. Interest rates are rising. If nothing changes, a reckoning isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable. Governments can only borrow and spend endlessly until reality forces a painful correction.

The longer this continues, the worse the eventual fallout will be. The U.S. is racing toward a fiscal cliff, but the brakes are broken, and no one in Washington seems willing to fix them.

India Issues Emergency Warning as Deaths Surge Among Covid-Vaxxed

An emergency warning has emerged from India after some of the country’s leading scientists identified an alarming surge in deaths among the Covid-vaccinated population.

The discovery was revealed in a landmark study led by Dr. Abin Kulathunkal Rajan and Dr. Abu Bashar from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Gorakhpur.

The findings were published in the journal Therapeutic Advances in Vaccines and Immunotherapy.

The study examines serious adverse events following immunization (AEFI) linked to Covid vaccines in India.

The researchers analyzed official government data showing mortality rates, injuries, disabilities, and vaccination status among the public.

Interestingly, however, India is one of the few nations that didn’t roll out mRNA injections during the mass-vaccination campaign.

The Indian government refused to grant pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Moderna immunity, meaning the mRNA injections were never approved for public use there.

During their study, the team of researchers utilized reports from the Indian government’s National AEFI Committee.

The study focuses on causality assessment reports published by the committee under India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Rajan and Bashar said they aimed to identify trends in vaccine-related serious adverse events and determine factors predicting mortality among affected individuals.

They analyzed a total of 2708 reported serious adverse events following immunization (AEFI).

The AEFIs reported included deaths and potentially fatal reactions such as cardiac arrests and blood clots.

However, the AEFIs didn’t include long-term diseases such as cancer, which likely contributed to more deaths.

NIH Nukes Cell Phone Cancer Research, Fully Redacts 2,500 Pages After FOIA Request

The National Institutes of Health is reportedly sitting on 2,500 pages of documents that explain why the agency abruptly ended its research program last year into the potential carcinogenic effects of cell phone radiation — long suspected by health advocates.

Last April, in an attempt to shine some sunlight on the secretive research project, Children’s Health Defense (founded by RFK Jr.) FOIA’ed the relevant documents from the public institution, only to receive thousands of redacted white pages of nothing in return.

Via The Defender (emphasis added):

“The National Institutes of Health (NIH) refuses to reveal nearly 2,500 pages of records related to the National Toxicology Program’s (NTP) decision to shut down its research on how wireless radiation affects human health, according to an investigation by The Defender.

In January 2024, the NTP announced it had no plans to further study the effects of cellphone radiofrequency radiation (RFR) on human health — even though the program’s own 10-year, $30 million study, completed in 2018, found “clear evidence” of cancer and DNA damage.

In April 2024, Children’s Health Defense (CHD) filed requests to the NIH under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to obtain records related to why the government shut down the research.”

So, despite, according to the agency itself, having found “clear evidence” that cell phone radiation triggers cancer and wreaks havoc on DNA, the agency shelved its decade-long, $30-million study with no public explanation — at the very least waste, if not outright fraud.

Gallup: Americans' Support for Israel Has Plummeted to Lowest Level Ever in 25 Years of Polling

A new poll from Gallup found that Americans' support for Israel has plummeted to just 46%, which marks the lowest rating for the Jewish state ever in 25 years of tracking.

From Gallup, "Less Than Half in U.S. Now Sympathetic Toward Israelis":

Although Americans remain more likely to say their sympathies in the Middle East situation are with the Israelis rather than the Palestinians, the 46% expressing support for Israel is the lowest in 25 years of Gallup’s annual tracking of this measure on its World Affairs survey. The previous 51% low point in this trend of Americans’ sympathy for Israelis was recorded both last year and in 2001.

At the same time, the 33% of U.S. adults who now say they sympathize with the Palestinians is up six percentage points from last year and the highest reading by two points.

The latest reading is from a Gallup poll conducted Feb. 3-16, during which the temporary ceasefire and hostage exchange between Israel and Hamas that started in mid-January continued. The poll began one day before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s White House visit that included a joint press conference with President Donald Trump. During that press event on Feb. 4, Trump expressed his intent for the U.S. to own and redevelop the Gaza Strip.

The collapse comes in the wake of Israel's decision to commit genocide in Gaza with US-supplied weaponry and push the US Congress to send them over $18 billion in military aid (and growing).

The record low poll numbers also follow the Israel Lobby pushing Congress and the White House to eliminate Americans' free speech rights by making it illegal to criticize Jews and Israel and protest against the genocide Israel is committing in Gaza.

The Israel Lobby also pushed Congress to pass an unprecedented ban on TikTok, one of the largest social media sites used by young people.

Israel further alienated many on the right by openly announcing that they're working to resettle Palestinian refugees in Europe and Canada.

Internal polling showing the same trend is likely why the Israel Lobby wants the next multibillion dollar US aid package for the Jewish state to "span 25 years, rather than 10" in order to "insulate the relationship against future US political vagaries and uncertainties."

United States Attorney’s Office Charges 46 Illegal Aliens with Various Offenses including Immigration Crimes, Drug Trafficking, Weapons Offenses, and Child Pornography

https://www.justice.gov/usao-edmi/pr/united-states-attorneys-office-charges-46-illegal-aliens-various-offenses-including

March 8, International Womyn's Day, originated in the USSR. From Wikipedia: "Following the October Revolution in 1917, the Bolshevik Alexandra Kollontai persuaded Vladimir Lenin to make [March 8th, International Women's Day] an official holiday in the Soviet Union….Kollontai believed that, like the state, the family unit would wither away once the second stage of communism became a reality. She viewed marriage and traditional families as legacies of the oppressive, property-rights-based, egoist past."

This proves that Communism is a fait accompli in the West. A Rothschild central bank is a plank in the Communist Manifesto. By controlling credit, the Illuminati (Cabalist) Jewish central bankers also control business, government, culture and media. The satanist goal is the destruction of Christian Western civilization and the enslavement/dispossession of mankind.

Zionism is essentially false opposition to the Communist World Order, designed to provide a pretext for WW3.

Washington’s IMF Stranglehold

In the deeply undemocratic institution, the U.S. effectively holds a veto over any major changes and molds policies according to its whims.

Yes, the headline of this article is accurate.

As far as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is concerned, each person in the Global North is worth nine people in the Global South.

We get that calculation from IMF data on voting power in the organisation relative to the population of the Global North and Global South states.

Each country, based on its “relative economic position,” as the IMF suggests, is given voting rights to elect delegates to the IMF’s executive board, which makes all of the organisation’s important decisions.

A brief glance at the board shows that the Global North is vastly overrepresented in this crucial multilateral institution for indebted countries.

The United States, for instance, has 16.49 percent of the votes on the IMF’s board despite representing only 4.22 percent of the world population. Since the IMF’s Articles of Agreement require 85 percent of the votes to make any changes, the U.S. has veto power over the decisions of the IMF.

As a result, the IMF senior staff defers to any policy made by the U.S. government and, given the organisation’s location in Washington, D.C., frequently consults with the U.S. Treasury Department on its policy framework and individual policy decisions.

For example, in 2019, when the United States government decided to unilaterally cease recognising the government of Venezuela, it put pressure on the IMF to follow suit.

Venezuela — one of the founding members of the IMF — had turned to the IMF for assistance on several occasions, paid off outstanding IMF loans in 2007 and then decided to no longer come to the IMF for short-term aid (indeed, the Venezuelan government instead committed itself to building the Bank of the South to provide bridge loans for indebted countries in case of balance-of-payments shortfalls).

During the pandemic, however, Venezuela, like most countries, sought to draw on its $5 billion reserves in special drawing rights (the “currency” of the IMF) to which it had access as part of the fund’s global liquidity-boosting initiative.

Gaza ceasefire hits the brick wall of Netanyahu's agenda

As predicted, the Israeli prime minister has a lot to gain from keeping the war going

The cease-fire agreement on the Gaza Strip is on the verge of dissolving, for reasons that were predictable when the agreement was reached in January.

To follow an initial six-week phase, which has just concluded, the agreement envisioned second and third phases that would see the additional release of hostages by both sides, Israeli military withdrawals from the Strip, and a reconstruction plan. But those parts of the agreement were mere outlines or statements of objectives, with further negotiations needed to resolve all the details.

As addressed in Responsible Statecraft when the agreement was announced, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strong personal and political reasons to keep Israel at war, including his need to maintain a coalition with extreme right-wingers in his government whose policy on Gaza is to eliminate all Palestinians from the Strip.

Netanyahu thus has had incentives to sabotage the cease-fire agreement before its implementation could proceed to a permanent cessation of hostilities.

Such sabotage is well under way. Israel has frequently violated the cease-fire throughout phase one with air and ground attacks that have inflicted casualties. With Hamas not taking the bait of responding with full-scale hostilities, Netanyahu is now trying to junk the entire second and third phases of the agreement and replace it with something more to Israel’s liking. Instead of negotiating the details of phase two, as required by the agreement, Netanyahu is pushing a formula that includes a 50-day cease-fire, by the end of which all the Israeli hostages would be released.

With no provision in Netanyahu’s proposal for either an Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza or a permanent cessation of hostilities, the formula is an obvious non-starter for Hamas. It would be giving up its remaining bargaining chips for nothing in return. Hamas described Netanyahu’s proposal as “a blatant attempt to renege on the agreement and evade negotiations for its second phase.”

Meanwhile, other Israeli violations of the January agreement continue. Last week Israel indicated that it will not withdraw its forces, as stipulated in the agreement, from the Philadelphi corridor, an area along the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. This week Israel began blocking all humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip.

The incentives for Netanyahu to resume Israel’s assault on Gaza rather than see an agreement through to lasting peace are at least as strong now as they were in mid-January. The biggest factor in this equation is the Trump administration’s deference to Israeli preferences, as reflected in Netanyahu’s smiling face after hearing that President Trump is just as much in favor of complete ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip as the extremists in Netanyahu’s government are.

And those extremists are as gung-ho as ever about resuming the devastating assault on the residents of the Gaza Strip after first starving them and cutting off their supplies of water and electricity.

The most likely near-term scenario for the Gaza Strip is thus a resumption of the Israeli military assault. Such a resumption will have no more chance of achieving the declared Israeli objective of “destroying Hamas” than the earlier 15 months of devastation did.

Polish PM Donald Tusk Announces Military Training for All Adult Males, Vows To Pursue Access to Nuclear Weapons

Tusk said the Ukrainian army has 800,000 soldiers, whilst Russia has around 1.3 million and he wants to increase the size of the Polish army, including reservists, to 500,000 from around 200,000 now.

"We're talking about the need to have an army of half a million in Poland, including the reservists," he said.

"It seems if we organise things wisely, and I'm talking constantly with the Minister of Defence, we will have to use several courses of action. That means the reservists, but also intensive training to make those who do not go into the army fully-fledged and competent soldiers during a conflict," he added.

Tusk said women may also undergo military training, but "war, is still to a greater extent the domain of men".

The prime minister said his government was also "carefully examining" France's proposal to include Europe under its nuclear umbrella.

"I would like to know first of all in detail what it means in terms of the authority over these weapons," he said.

Tusk pointed out Ukraine was invaded after it got rid of its own nuclear arsenal, adding Warsaw would like to acquire its own nuclear weapons, however remote a possibility that may be.

"Today, it is clear that we would be safer if we had our own nuclear arsenal, that is beyond doubt. In any case the road to that would be very long and there would have to be a consensus too," he said.

Poland is already planning to spend 4.7% of its economic output on defence this year, the highest proportion in the Nato alliance.

Tusk told parliament that spending should increase to 5% of GDP.

Earlier, President Duda proposed amending the constitution to make defence spending at a level of 4% of GDP compulsory

The prime minister also said he supports Poland withdrawing from the Ottawa convention that bans the use of antipersonnel landmines, and also possibly from the Dublin convention that bans the use of cluster munitions.

Poland has ramped up defence spending since Russia's full-scale invasion of neighbouring Ukraine in 2022.

It has signed arms contracts worth around $20bn (£15.5bn) with the United States to buy 250 M1A2 Abrams battle tanks, 32 F-35 jets, 96 Apache helicopters, Javelin missiles, and artillery rocket systems.

Warsaw has also signed contracts with South Korea to purchase K2 tanks and FA-50 light combat aircraft.

There is growing anxiety among Poles about their future security following US President Donald Trump's decision to suspend military supplies to Ukraine. Most Poles believe supporting Ukraine is in their own security interests.

Mirosław Kaznowski, the deputy mayor of Milanówek, a small town outside Warsaw, told BBC News this week that a friend of his has decided to invest in a start-up to build low-cost underground bomb shelters for businesses and homes.

His friend said interest was high, he added.

ANZ boss Shayne Elliott challenged over Israel lobby, human rights

When ANZ chief Shayne Elliott addresses Queensland’s business elite at a swanky Brisbane Hotel next week, he may do so with a feeling of unease. It may even cost him some customers.

Barrister Benedict Coyne has lodged a Human Rights Grievance under the ANZ Human Rights Grievance Mechanism in relation to Elliott’s patronage of the Israel business lobby and says the bank is lending its “imprimatur to endorsing and promoting the business, political and geopolitical interests of the AICC (and by association the Israel Australia Chamber of Commerce) … appears to be in contravention of ANZ Human Rights Statement (May 2022), ANZ Human Rights Statement (November 2021), RESPECTING PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES – ANZ’s Approach to Human Rights (September 2012), the ANZ Code of Conduct, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct”.

According to the Coyne Human Rights Grievance lodged with ANZ:

“The AICC’s Israeli associate, the Israel-Australia Chamber of Commerce (IACC), is chaired by Major General Ido Nehushtan, president of weapons contractor Boeing Israel and a former commander of the Israeli Air Force.

“The IACC profile on Guidestar, which is the regulating body for Israeli charities, shows that the organisation is funding Israel’s illegal settlement program. Up to 35% of funds are going to areas which Israel calls the Judea and Samaria region, the Northern District, and Jerusalem District (also known as ‘Greater Jerusalem’).

“Judea and Samaria is Israel’s name for most of its settlements in the West Bank.

“While the Northern District includes areas inside Israel’s internationally recognised borders, it also includes the illegally occupied Syrian Golan Heights.”

The Chamber is, perhaps with the exception of the Business Council of Australia, this country’s preeminent big business lobby; holding regular junkets, summits at lunches at ritzy five-star hotel ballrooms where business leaders deliver their speeches before packed audiences spending thousands of dollars per table.

It is the premier networking organisation for Israel in Australia and high-tech is at the vanguard of the lobbying. The ‘Start-Up Nation’ begins with the Israel Defence Force’s (IDF) intelligence units.

The Chamber’s objective is to promote collaboration between the two countries. It describes itself as “Australia’s pre-eminent international Chamber of Commerce and one of the country’s most prestigious and active national business organisations”, with over 1,000 member companies.

ANZ declined to respond to questions for this story.
