https://heirloomseedkits.com/ This is a non gmo seed company (heirloom) in Traverse City MI. They have a variety of kits available from 100 dollars and up, and make your own kit options.

Using seeds for money is an ancient thing, and likely a future thing as well.

Has Fort Knox ever been audited? Rumor has it all the gold they stole was buried there.

On the bright side, paper cash will soon be cheaper to use than toilet paper.

From what I've been able to come up with, no, Ft Knox has never been audited and neither has the 5th plank of the Communist manifesto Federal Reserve. Toilet paper will still be in demand because fed notes will give you hemorrhoids.

"Toilet paper will still be in demand because fed notes will give you hemorrhoids."

Precisely!

🤣👍 I suspected so but virtually zero info on it. They had quite the haul of gold confiscated from Germany that never seemed to make it back to the original owners.

Cash is becoming rare in Canada as the vast majority use debit cards. A fair number of businesses here no longer take cash. They get no business from me. You're dead on about barter being the way to survive in the future. 🍻

Yes, really the only sensible thing we can do is to convert our fiat papers into tradable goods. On that note (pun intended), I think I'll need to stock up on cheap vodka for bartering.

I would concur. Any kind of cheap alcohol beverage will be a good barter item. And if you have the place to keep it, cases of toilet paper from a list I read.

So the government regulators are reneging on all the promises they printed on their money and in the Constitution? Shock.

What promises did those people ever keep? Just the promise to tax us. That's all I can think of.

Yes, without the people having a way to enforce the Constitution on those who swear to uphold it, it is nothing but a Paper Tiger.

The "Penal Bond" binds officeholders to their oath. Officeholders are to buy the Penal Bond which binds them by oath to the Constitution. If an elected official does not obey his/her oath of office, then "the people" can call the bond due and payable. The problem is no one knows about the "Penal Bond" so officeholders no longer buy the bond and "the people" don't know about it. Nobody cares enough to fix it.

Even if it was known, how WOULD you fix it?

I don't think the constitution is a controlling document for the USA company. During the first bankruptcy in 1871 the title and contents of the constitution were changed unlawfully. Until that time, the constitution was a contract for a lawful government, since the corporatization of the USA, the real controlling documents are secret (kept by the bank of England). We've been living in a fake republic for 150 years. The damage that the USA company has done to America can be compared to the damage that the Dutch India Company did to India. Ours is worse, but it is an example of foreign corporate exploitation and it has gone on for about 500 years, since the first stock companies, when usury became normal, and the Anglican Church was begun to justify it.

My brother made a major effort to find the truth out about the alleged 1871 conversion. And has been totally unable to verify it. And if it is TRUE, it was done under the cover of darkness making it null and void from FRAUD.

What do the words null and void from fraud mean? Does that mean that because they changed the document in secret that it was not an act of fraud? I'm not familiar with the claim that things done in secret can't be fraud. It seems absurd to me. Of course, they're going to try to keep their fraud a secret. Contract law is the basis for all of our laws. If one party changes the language of an existing contract without consent of the other party, that is fraud. Here is an article I enjoyed on the topic: https://shiftfrequency.com/since-1871-two-constitutions-usa/ Who has a copy of the constitution as it existed before 1871? I've seen an electronic version, but I don't have one now, and can't find one.

Substack mass walkout next week, no posts. Devalue the company as it is being sold.

It's always something isn't it? Wonder who's buying it.

You got it, bartering will be be with people you trust, too many rats on the boat...

It's all according to what you are bartering. If you are bartering your labor, yes, you need to be able to trust who you are dealing with. If you are bartering 3 chickens for 25 rounds of hand loaded 9mm the minute you trade the chickens for the 25 rounds of 9mm the barter is complete so trust isn't an issue. Unless you're concerned that the person you dealt with didn't know how to load ammo and had a reputation of causing death, dismemberment or property damage with ammo that blew up that he loaded. Of course if he was that careless the word would get around quickly and no one would be foolish enough to trust him when it comes to loading ammo.

I'm curious about gold as a standard. Would the price as a global commodity need to be fixed? If so, by whom? Since money supply influences value or worth, does the first continual increase in supply, via mining and recycling also devalue gold as a monetary base? No economist, while I get the concept of fiat vs. a PM backed currency I clearly lack the knowledge to fully grasp and this subject.

Sometimes I can't stand this medium. I just wrote a pretty long response, hit the wrong key and BOOM it was gone.

Let me try again. First off the Founding Fathers INISISTED via the US Constitution that we USE gold and silver coin as our money. They did not in any way want our money backed by anyone . Backing your promises to pay legal tender notes with gold may sound good, but the minute the bankers see that very few people are coming to their banks to trade the paper in for gold or silver is the minute they start fudging the books. At some point if there is a run on the banks SOMEONE is going to be holding paper that is worthless. And that is the story behind Judge Roger Sherman's experience and his booklet mentioned below which has the sub title...Or an Inquiry Into the Evils of a Fluctuating Medium of Exchange.

For you see, when the people control the money supply you have freedom. When the bankers do you have tyranny. See: There Is A Reason "They" Don't Listen to Us Anymore https://courageouslion380.substack.com/p/there-is-a-reason-they-dont-listen

Now realize that the amount of gold and silver you could bring into production via mining or recycling is negligible when you really think about it. Especially compared to the TRILLIONS that they create with the current system by just adding digits to computer entries!

What would happen is that as people took gold and silver out of circulation to place in savings, the VALUE would increase because of supply and demand. Causing the price of goods and services to go DOWN rather than UP as they do in the current economic system.

Just as John was willing to sell me one dozen eggs for literally 1/3 of what he would have charged me in 1964. 1 dozen = 1/2 dollar of silver. 2023 3 dozen = 1/2 dollar of silver, based on the artificially created Fed note value equivalent of the silver. If they were taken out of the equation who knows what 1/2 dollar of silver might purchase. In John's case the silver was 3 x more valuable than it was in 1964. Causing the cost of eggs to be 1/3 of the price they were in 1964.

Please read the booklet that is linked in the post called A Caveat Against Injustice. (http://bornagainclassics.com/Books/ACaveatAgainstInjustice-Shermann/) The forward in it is very good at explaining the problem with "backed" money. Which basically is the fault of man to become a thief if the chance arises.

Good write up, yet how do you figure the Federal Reserve System is a "national bank" as it is privately owned by the British Monarchy, not the American people? A true national bank would be responsible to congress and it always worked well under the "American System" until Andrew Jackson killed the Second national bank in favor of private banking. It almost destroyed America. Skull & Bones owns our government now. That's the problem. A bunch of secret society crooks own our government and they have since 1913.

The Federal Reserve is not owned by the American people. It is a private bank owned by the international bankster cartels. As for the connection to the British Monarchy, I've read that is the case but have yet been given absolute proof to substantiate the claim. So whatever way it is owned, is secondary to the fact that it is destroying our standard of living since day one and definitely fits the description provided in the 5th plank of the communist manifesto. Some of the behind the scenes machinations and who is doing what may be important for a jury to decide, but as it is? What can that knowledge obtain for us? We need to start working outside of that corrupt system SOMEHOW. The problem with getting the somehow going is that people need to get a nice big kick in the ass before they would make the effort.
