The Goldsmiths—Part XXXXIV

 

By R. D. Bradshaw

 

Investigative reporter Alex Jones was on the Coast to Coast AM radio program on Feb 17, 2009 to discuss the progress of a movement in the US states to declare their opposition to the continuous federal encroachment on states’ rights and recognition of the power of the 9th and 10th amendments of the US Constitution. 

 

The Backdrop

 

During the days leading up to the ultimate adoption of the US Constitution, by the states, there was some difference in opinion among American leaders.  On the one hand, the nation had people like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison who believed in a central government with very limited powers (Madison, by the way, was the man who drafted the United States Constitution).  On the other hand, there was people like Alexander Levine/Hamilton who believed that the new US government should have virtually unlimited power to do as it pleased. 

 

Yet, while the words of the Constitution seemed clear enough, a process of interpretation took place over the years to interpret the words to mean things different from what the actual words said.  This process, by the way, opened the door for the nation to ignore the exacts words of the Constitution, especially by the work of the Supreme Court in the post WWII era, to make the Constitution say whatever the judges wanted it to say. 

 

Most gold and silver proponents are acutely aware of at least two key points which were long ago lost in the United States.  Per the US Constitution, the Congress is granted power to coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin…(article I, section 8) and no state shall make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts (article I, section 10, in that the United States is a state).  These clear words came to mean nothing as the Federal Reserve Bank came into being in 1913 to completely take over US money and issue it as fiat money over the years. 

 

Yet, while the above words on money and coin are profound and have been flagrantly ignored/violated in the 20th century, there are still other provisions which were also equally as profound and extraordinary.  For instance, Article I, Section 1, says that “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the Untied States…” 

 

Most of us alive today are acutely aware of executive orders signed by the President of the United States as laws to regulate and govern the people of the United States.  While historically, the US presidents have had power to issue executive orders to regulate the working of the employees of the Executive branch (in other words, those employees under his supervision), presidents didn’t issue executive orders to govern the people of the US until the brief time of Abraham Lincoln and totally from the time of Franklin Rosenfeldt/Roosevelt in 1933 until our day in 2009.  In other words, executive orders have come to be a way that presidents can and do legislate laws to the people of the United States, outside the purview of Congress. 

 

The way FDR and his successors have done this is that they have declared that the United States operates under a state of emergency.  Thus, the president has power to issue executive orders.  That’s why executive orders are on the books for the president to seize all power simply on his word—that includes power to make a call-in of gold, silver, guns, food and anything and everything he may designate. 

 

Another curious little fact about the US Constitution is that Article I, Section 8, even goes into precise details of the specific laws which Congress has power to legislate.  They are each and every one specifically stated and defined.  There is no miscellaneous or catch all clause which would allow anything more than those laws specifically stated in Section 8 or specially defined in other parts of the Constitution to over-ride the provisions of Section 8 (like the Constitutional amendments which state that Congress has power to enforce the amendments).

 

Well, since people like Levine/Hamilton came along to want the Constitution to grant all power to the Federal government, people have used a couple of statements in the document to grant the Federal government unlimited powers over the people.  One of these is the statement of the purpose of the Constitution— “to provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty…”  In line with this purpose, Section 8 actually allows the specific acts defined and stated in the vein of “provide the common defense and general welfare” of the US. 

 

Thus, Congress can pass the laws defined in Section 8—in order to provide for the common defense and general welfare of the US.  But this provision, coupled with the 14th amendment addressing the freed slaves (with the words that no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person the equal protection of the laws) became the norm for the US to pass all kinds of laws without limitation as Levine/Hamilton wanted. 

 

But along with these grants of power to the Federal government, it is significant to note that the 9th amendment says that the people of the US retain certain rights (but today, we have come to believe that the people have no rights unless they are granted by the Federal government). 

 

Finally, another curious little fact is that the 10th amendment says that all powers not delegated to the US by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.  This amendment opens the door to something called “states’ rights.”

 

Now some more history

 

In any case, since 1868, and principally in the post WWII era, the US Supreme Court has used these words on common defense and general welfare, plus the provisions of the 14th amendment, to mean whatever the Federal government/US courts want them to mean.  This has opened the door for the Federal government to take over schools, education, health care, sex, gender, abortion, marriage, and on and on.  Of course, this was precisely what Alexander Levine/Hamilton wanted and what Jefferson and Madison (who wrote the Constitution) did not want. 

 

In history, this conflict between Levine and Jefferson/Madison created the US Civil War and the slaughter of multitudes of Americans when the Southern states said that they had something called “states’ rights” because the Constitution was a document between the states and the Federal government wherein the states surrendered some of their powers to the Federal government. 

 

This states’ rights concept remained largely dormant until the times of FDR and his successor Harry Truman.  In the immediate post WWII era, it became manifestly clear that the Federal government was passing laws and doing things which had never been done before in American history.  Many people claimed that the Feds were doing things which they could not legally do and that such acts encroached upon states’ rights. 

 

Well, the fall out this recognition was that a third political party arose in the US 1948 election to oppose both the Democrats and Republicans.  This was the States’ Rights Party which primarily had acceptance and presence in the US South over the Federal government moves to promote racial integration in the Old South.  Strom Thurman actually ran for president in 1948 on this third party ticket.  But he lost. 

 

In the election of 1964, Barry Goldwater picked up many of the supporters of states’ rights.  Then, in 1968, George Corley Wallace was a champion of states’ rights in his third party move with the American Independent party.  But neither of these candidates was able to mount a popular campaign with the collective people.  And that takes us to the candidacy of Ron Paul in 2008.

 

The Ron Paul candidacy for US president created some reawakening and recognition among some people that things are not right in Washington and that US politicians are leading the nation into world government, contrary to the US Constitution.  Paul’s views have been important to gold proponents and others wanting an abolishment of the Federal Reserve Bank for reasons cited above. 

 

It is unclear how far this motion will go on states’ rights/sovereignty but it is interesting that some 2/3 of the US states have now passed or in the process of passing resolutions recognizing states’ rights and sovereignty under the 10th amendment.  Here then are the words of the dailypaul.com web site which offered an assessment of what the Paul people have been doing since Paul’s 2008 run—viz:

 

“If you believe in State Sovereignty, make sure that you bug the hell out of your representatives to pass legislation like this.  Also in your letters make sure that you call attention to the efforts of these states.  Make them feel that their (sic) is a strong movement towards enforcing sovereignty outside of your individual state.  That will give your representatives the feeling that their not totally leaving the herd.  We need to make a firm push to get these bills actually passed - I'm not talking passive action... I (am) saying assert your own personal authority as a citizen of your state.  The power of your state derives from you, just as the Federal government's power derives from the states.  It is long since past time that we reassert this authority.  State Sovereignty will give us back our greatest line of defense against oppressive Federal government!  From there we really can reverse all the harm that has been done to this Republic!!!!!!”

 

The Impact of this Backdrop on Gold

 

So what does all this stuff about states’ rights have to do with gold and other precious metals?  Frankly, my guess is that ultimately nothing will be done; though the present states’ rights movement has and will give some people hope that the US can be turned around and changed in direction.  My take is that this present states’ rights movement will fade away and die out just like the earlier ones did.  In other words, nothing will change and regardless of how many states pass resolutions claiming states’ rights.

 

There are actually people out there who believe that the Federal Reserve can be abolished and the power over American money be placed with the people thru the Congress.  Yet, my take is that there is no way that this will happen short of a major internal revolution or a war which the US loses.  It’s not going to change.  The people in charge will remain in charge. 

 

Therefore, the executive orders now in place, granting the president all power, will remain in place and the US president will use that power virtually whenever he chooses.  I see nothing on the horizon which can change this ultimate reality—well, that is short of a major internal revolution, losing a war and/or the formation of a new government. 

 

I mention this backdrop because the work of Congressman Ron Paul and this present motion of many states declaring their rights and powers under the US Constitution can and indeed has already fueled some speculation among gold and silver advocates and proponents that there is hope for both the United States and gold. 

 

A number of gold advocates are actually enthusiastic about the prospects that the Federal Reserve will be abolished; that the gold standard will come back into play with full use of gold and silver coins in our economy; that Washington will stop its march to tyranny; that Obama and the Rothschilds and Rockefellers love us and are working for our best interests; that the financial markets will once more be free markets where supply and demand prevail; and that our leaders love us so much that they will never make a call-in of our gold and silver as FDR did in the 1930s. 

 

But my expectations on the work of Ron Paul and this effort by the states to assert their rights and powers under the US Constitution will all fall by the wayside.  I see no way that any of these speculations will ever come into reality—that is short of a major internal revolution and a war in which the US loses.  And this real world thing brings up the thinking of Colonel Edward Mandell House. 

 

The Wisdom of Colonel Edward Mandell House 

 

Dr Stan Monteith has a radio broadcast, Radio Liberty, which is extremely popular among many gold advocates and proponents.  This reality brings up some fascinating remarks made by Dr Monteith in his writings, oral presentations and radio broadcasts.  Dr Monteith has mentioned the work of Colonel Edward Mandell House who was the right hand man of Woodrow Wilson during the approval of the Federal Reserve Bank, and the period of WWI.  Monteith says of Colonel House that he was perhaps the most important man in the 20th century. 

 

While Edward Mandell House was supposedly an assistant or aide to President Woodrow Wilson, in the years 1913 to 1921, the Colonel was not just an “assistant or aide.”  He was far more important than that.  He was Wilson’s alter-ego; and he was the man who really ran things in the Wilson administration. 

 

Being the brains and boss behind the presidential throne, all important pieces of correspondence and major decisions were reportedly ran through him personally.  He was the man who called the shots from behind the scenes while Wilson was the politician working out front in the public’s eyes. 

 

In the Sep 2002 “Radio Liberty” newsletter (p. 2), Dr Monteith quotes an article by Colonel House from the June 1923 “Foreign Affairs” magazine, the publication arm of the notorious Council on Foreign Relations. 

 

House wrote:  “If war had not come in 1914 in fierce and exaggerated form, the idea of an association of nations would probably have remained dormant, for great reforms seldom materialize except during great upheavals...”  As happened, WWI created the first major international push for world government in centuries with the organization of the League of Nations. 

 

While the efforts of people like Wilson, House and others worked hard to force the US into the League of Nations, the effort fell through the crack.  Of course, another major war was needed to take another stab at this process.  It came in 1939 with WWII.  By 1945, the United Nations was a reality--and with America as a member and chief financier.  Yet, the UN still has not achieved its role of really governing the world as some or many of its advocates have planned and worked for. 

 

The Bottom Line

 

I now mention this thinking of Colonel House because it simply demonstrates the impossibility of the American people ever achieving any of the goals that most gold proponents and advocates hope for. 

 

Simply stated, we are not about to terminate the Federal Resave, restore the gold standard with the use of gold and silver coins in the market place, and eliminate the prospects of a call-in of gold and silver in a future time.  No, none of these things are possible except in a time of great upheaval as Colonel House correctly noted.  We would have to lose a major war or face some other catastrophe to get rid of the Federal Reserve. 

 

And since war changes things, is it logical that a new war (WWIII) is now in the planning stage—not to get rid of the Fed—but in order to bring on real world government and more totalitarianism and tyranny on us, the people? 

 

Accordingly, I must stick with my expectations mentioned last summer and fall in the Goldsmiths published then by goldseek.com.  If there are problems in the control and manipulation of the gold market and if gold offers any threat to the money system controlled by the plutocrats, we can bank on it that the government will issue a call-in of gold and I think silver as well.
