Hi Middlecreek,
An excellent point and one I completely agree with – it is NOT a matter of National Security for the American People.
In fact, it is just the opposite – the American People would be much better off if we could return to specie money as dictated by the Constitution.
I took the comment as written to mean that “National Security” was the excuse TPTB use to justify their crimes to the dumbed down masses. Sad to say, the vast majority of Americans are woefully lacking in knowledge of gold’s role as money. Have you ever tried to explain fiat to the average person? If lucky, they only roll their eyes. Often they will become outright hostile at the mention of gold replacing the dollar, oops, Federal Reserve Note.
