NEWS AND VIEWS THAT IMPACT LIMITED CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT

Lady Liberty is being openly gang raped and the God Damned Fucking GOP does nothing about it for years on end.
Conservatives, Libertarians and Nationalists have had their banking services attacked over and over with no support at all from the last two looser GOP AGs or from the worthless "Conservative" members of Congress.
(National File) - Free speech social media platform Gab has been banned from three different banks in three weeks, following repeated smears from the mainstream media.
Speaking exclusively to National File, Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab, said that the New Tech platform was banned from three different banks in the last three weeks alone for political reasons. One of the banks told Torba on Monday morning that they could no longer do business with the site because of “all the bad things the press has written about Gab.”
Following the removal of President Trump from most Big Tech platforms in the last few weeks of his presidency, New Tech social media sites like Gab skyrocketed in traffic, as millions of users flocked away from the censorship of Facebook, Twitter, and others. Gab received 272 million visits in January, outperforming legacy media competition such as NBC News, The Wall Street Journal, Breitbart, and TMZ, by a huge margin.
As a result of its increasing prominence, the free-speech platform has been subject to many smears from the mainstream media in recent weeks, claiming that the site is an “alt-right social media network,” a “haven for extremists,” and even claiming that the site “leads to violence.
“Gab follows the law and operates a legal business in the United States,” Torba told National File. “We sell hats, shirts, and a software license to our GabPRO service. We have a community that respects law and order. Yet we have banks and other services banning us left and right.”
Torba encouraged anyone who believes in free speech to “seek out Christian banks and local credit unions, and to stop doing business with banks that do not share or support American values.” He argued that it won’t be long before “churches, businesses, and individuals who refuse the woke orthodoxy of critical theory that has consumed every corner of our culture” will also be refused service by banks.
“We must proactively cancel them all before they cancel us,” Torba concluded. The banks are not the first financial service to have rejected and “cancelled” Gab – in 2018, PayPal terminated their relationship with the free speech social network.

Editor - The Republican Party is definitely schizophrenic. They talk endlessly about "Conservatism" and "freedom" but 95% of the time vote for more big government. In Kansas the GOP legislature could vote for gold and silver as legal tender. You can guess how the vote will go . . .
Personally I have a portion of my assets in Gold and Silver coins as a hedge against the insanity of Washington.
(Zerohedge) - A bill introduced in the Kansas House would recognize gold and silver specie as legal tender and repeal all taxes levied on it. The legislation would pave the way for Kansans to use gold and silver in everyday transactions, a foundational step for the people to undermine the Federal Reserve’s monopoly on money.
The Federal Reserve is the engine that drives the most powerful government in the history of the world. Ron Paul popularized the slogan “End the Fed,” but Congress is nowhere near abolishing the central bank. It can’t even come up with the will to audit the Fed.
Even though state action can’t end the Fed, there are steps states can take that will undermine the Federal Reserve’s monopoly on money. By passing laws that encourage and incentivize the use of gold and silver in daily transactions by the general public, policy changes at the state level such as the Kansas Legal Tender Act has the potential to create a wide-reaching impact and set the foundation to nullify the Fed’s monopoly power over the monetary system.
A coalition of four Republicans introduced House Bill 2123 (HB2123) on Jan. 25. The legislation would make gold and silver legal tender in the state, recognizing it as a medium of exchange for the payment of debts and taxes.
In effect, gold and silver specie would be treated as money, putting it on par with Federal Reserve notes in Kansas.
Under the proposed law, “Legal tender” means a recognized medium of exchange for the payment of debts and taxes. Specie legal tender would be defined as:
(a) Specie coin issued by the United States government at any time; or
(b) any other specie that a court of competent jurisdiction, by final and unappealable order, rules to be within state authority to make or designate as legal tender
By allowing the court to designate additional specie to be used as legal tender, Kansas could free its citizens from potential supply constraints imposed by the use of only United States minted gold and silver coin. More importantly, the people of the state of Kansas would be able to define what specie is considered constitutional tender, further distancing themselves from potential control of their competing currency by Washington D.C.
Practically speaking, the passage of HB2123 would allow residents to use gold or silver coins to pay taxes and other debts owed to the state. In effect, it would put gold and silver on the same footing as Federal Reserve notes.
HB2123 would also repeal property and capital gains taxes on gold and silver.
“No specie or legal tender shall be characterized as personal property for taxation or regulatory purposes.”
Kansas could become the fourth state to recognize gold and silver as legal tender. Utah led the way, reestablishing constitutional money in 2011. Wyoming and Oklahoma have since joined.
KNOCKING DOWN BARRIERS
Taxes on gold and silver erect barriers to using gold and silver as money by raising transaction costs. HB2123 would exempt gold and silver bullion from state capital gains taxes.
Passage of this legislation would eliminate a barrier to investing in gold and silver. It would also make it more practical to use gold and silver in everyday transactions, a foundational step for people to undermine the Federal Reserve’s monopoly on money.
In effect, states that collect taxes on purchases of precious metals act as if gold and silver aren’t money at all.
The Canadian Silver Maple Leaf is a silver bullion coin that is issued annually by the Government of Canada. It is produced by the Royal Canadian Mint.
The Silver Maple Leaf is legal tender. The face value is 5 Canadian dollars. The 99.99% silver content makes the coin among the finest official bullion coins worldwide.
Imagine if you asked a grocery clerk to break a $5 bill and he charged you a 35 cent tax. Silly, right? After all, you were only exchanging one form of money for another. But that’s essentially what South Carolina’s capital gains tax on gold and silver bullion does.
By eliminating this tax on the exchange of gold and silver, South Carolina would treat specie as money instead of a commodity. This represents a small step toward reestablishing gold and silver as legal tender and breaking down the Fed’s monopoly on money.
“We ought not to tax money – and that’s a good idea. It makes no sense to tax money,” former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul said during testimony in support an Arizona bill that repealed capital gains taxes on gold and silver in that state. “Paper is not money, it’s fraud,” he continued.
LEGALIZING THE CONSTITUTION
Passage of HB2123 would effectively legalize the US Constitution in Kansas.
The United States Constitution states in Article I, Section 10, “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.”
Currently, all debts and taxes in South Carolina are either paid with Federal Reserve Notes (dollars) which were authorized as legal tender by Congress or with coins issued by the US Treasury — very few of which have gold or silver in them.
The Federal Reserve destroys this constitutional monetary system by creating a monopoly based on its fiat currency. Without the backing of gold or silver, the central bank can easily create money out of thin air.
This not only devalues your purchasing power over time; it also allows the federal government to borrow and spend far beyond what would be possible in a sound money system. Without the Fed, the US government wouldn’t be able to maintain all of its unconstitutional wars and programs.
The Olden Days When Gold and Silver was Money When gold and silver was money somehow the sun came up every day, children played, businesses did business, people went to work and lived their lives.
But our ever so smart economists from the very best schools (who think loaning money to Greece and Puerto Rico is a good idea) tell us we are the "crazy" ones for wanting a stable gold backed currency and balanced budgets.

In late November, at a meeting of Washington Democrat Governor Jay Inslee’s Equity Task Force, an administrator, who was recently named the director of the state Office of Equity, said that “white people and Europeans” had an unhealthy focus on punctuality.
After the task force member made the comment, another member echoed that “the office of equity should model practices and decolonize boards by identifying, dismantling, culture-bound rules and decorum, time-requirement, education, and what we call ‘expertise.’”
Dr. Karen Johnson, who was serving as equity and inclusion administrator for the Washington State Department of Corrections in November, said at the November 25 meeting discussing “Removing health disparities by race/ethnicity/gender”:
I have decided to try and start each new week off on a positive high note. But being a glass half empty kind of guy I suspect things will turn into crap soon enough.
Sam Cooke. His incredible voice has always touched me. His death came far, far too soon. Influential as both a singer and composer, he is commonly known as the King of Soul for his distinctive vocals and importance within popular music. Cooke had 30 U.S. top 40 hits between 1957 and 1964, plus three more posthumously. Major hits like "You Send Me", "A Change Is Gonna Come", "Cupid", "Chain Gang", "Wonderful World", and "Twistin' the Night Away" are some of his most popular songs.

(Zerohedge) - Financial writer John Rubino says massive unpayable debt has already bankrupted America, and when this happens, politics are also massively corrupted.
Rubino explains, “When you bankrupt your country, your politics are inherently corrupted by that bankruptcy, and that’s what is happening to us..."
"We created a financial system . . . that is run by an aristocracy. It’s not a Right/Left, liberal, socialist or conservative aristocracy.
Look at JPMorgan Chase, Google and General Dynamics.
Look at Mitch McConnell, the big Republicans and the big Democrats. They are not socialists, and they are not capitalists–they’re aristocrats. They are mainly interested in a system where the rules apply to you and me but do not apply to them. . . . You need to view those guys as Dukes and Duchesses whose main job is to maintain power over the peasants, then their behavior makes complete sense. . . . Seeing them that way makes their motivation and behavior pretty much crystal clear.”
Rubino contends, “This won’t change. You’ve got to have all the peasants grabbing their pitch forks and heading to the castle before it changes..."
"In the meantime, we are stuck with this system, and it has given us the biggest financial bubble in human history. That sounds like hyperbole and click bait, but it’s actually not. If you look at the big financial bubbles we have lived through, junk bond bubble . . . tech bubble and then the housing bubble, they were sector specific financial bubbles where one asset class just blew up. They became the center of a mania, crashed and almost took down the whole economy. We now have at least four and maybe five bubbles of that magnitude all going at the same time. That’s why they call it the ‘Everything Bubble.’ . . . When this thing blows, it’s not just going to be one sector tanking. It’s going to be all the sectors tanking at once. It’s going to be astounding. I wouldn’t want to be Joe Biden when that happens. . . . This is going to be an impossible thing to govern.”
Rubino warns, “When it becomes obvious that there are no tools to fix any of these markets that are blowing up, that shifts the attention over to currencies..."
" Because if we can’t fix the financial markets, why would we want to hold these currencies when everything in these financial markets that these currencies kind of govern are going crazy? So, when this thing blows up, it will shift the pressure over to the dollar. Thus, this is the whole DollarCollapse.com thing. Nobody is going to want to hold the dollar or the euro or the yen. It won’t matter what the governments do because there will be nothing effective for them to do. That’s when things get really crazy, and people will be glad they have gold and silver among a handful of other things. It’s completely possible we end back up on a gold standard in 10 years with gold at $10,000 per ounce. If you are a stacker, this chaos is less terrifying to you because you know your financial life is going to be okay no matter what happens to housing, tech or whatever. . . . We think we have lived through some tough times in the financial markets, but we have never seen anything like what is coming.”
The Roman Republic of Marc Antony died 2,000 years ago. While American paper money becomes more and more worthless, Roman Republic gold coins have held their value to this day. Maybe our hack politicians could learn a thing or two from Rome on money.
