Wow, NB really hammeded those nails didnt he. JFK tried to defy the international bankers but got shot down six months later. They have coopted all government and industry not to mention the financial markets. Taking on the bankers involves a global revolt. That means taking down the WB,IMF, BIS, and these dark pool deriavatives. We dont really need a gold standard per se, just following our consitution will really save us. Art 1, sec 8, only congress shall have the right to issue coin and regualte the value and credit thereof! Not a privately owned central bank.
