“The Federals Are Coming!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Americans were taught about Paul Revere\u2019s ride in school. <\/strong>He was said to have ridden from his home in the North End of Boston, to Lexington and Concord, to warn the people there that Federal troops had landed in Boston Harbour and would soon reach the townships.Of course, the story was tarted up a bit for the history books. First, it\u2019s unlikely that he shouted, \u201cThe British are coming,\u201d since, at the time of the ride, in 1775, he was in fact British \u2013 a British colonial \u2013 and would have regarded himself as British, as would the townspeople.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also unlikely that he galloped through the towns shouting, \u201cTo arms! To arms!\u201d since a major portion of the British colonists, particular those who were older and had a lot to lose, were loyalists, and taking up arms would be treasonous. (At that time, treason was one of only two capital crimes.)<\/p>\n

So, what\u00a0did<\/em>\u00a0he shout on his ride\u2026 or did he in fact shout\u00a0anything<\/em>? It\u2019s more likely that he simply went to the back doors of select sympathisers and asked them to spread the word that the Federal troops were on the way. But, of course, that would have made for a far less colourful story.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It is likely, though, that the ride itself did actually take place and that he did succeed in rousing the townspeople. Amongst them were the minutemen, who later did quite a good job of picking off the Federal troops.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At that time, this practice was looked upon by armies as cowardly. It was considered honourable for columns of troops to march toward each other and fire. Those with the most troops to sacrifice usually won. The colonists could not have prevailed, had they followed this method of battle.<\/p>\n

But the colonists\u2019 cause was a laudable one, even if they were far outnumbered and not as well-trained or well-armed as the Federals. <\/strong>Under the circumstances, they succeeded because they swallowed their pride, used their wits and, fighting guerilla style, prevailed against a greater opponent.<\/p>\n

In creating the United States, the founding fathers of the US endorsed the concept of a republic \u2013 a conglomerate of states in which the individual right was tantamount. They were deeply suspicious of sliding into becoming a democracy. As Thomas Jefferson said,<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51 percent of the people may take away the rights of the other 49.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Quite so. And yet, from the very first presidential cabinet, Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton pushed for a move away from a republic toward a stronger federal government. (In 1789, he formed the Federalist Party and the contest began.)<\/p>\n

Since that time, the US has moved away from being a republic and has become more of a federalist state.<\/p>\n

This progression continued fairly steadily until 1913, at which time two major changes occurred. The banking interests in the US had become powerful enough to push through two bills that would serve to enrich them for generations. The source of that wealth would be the American taxpayer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, income tax (which had been attempted previously, but never gained full acceptance) was introduced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Second, to add insult to injury, the Federal Reserve was created. It was neither a federal body, nor was it a reserve. However, in addition to having the power to create all currency for the US, it had the power to set interest rates.<\/p>\n

Through this control, it was possible to create steady annual inflation (defined as an increase in the currency in circulation). This had the effect of diminishing the purchasing power of the dollar by slow measures, effectively robbing the population incrementally through inflation.<\/p>\n

Had Paul Revere been around in 1913, he might well have wished to get on his horse to warn the people that the Federals were coming. Only this time, it wasn\u2019t the Federal troops, it was the Federal Reserve.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Fed\u2019s power made it possible to create large amounts of money out of thin air, to be loaned by banks. With this easy money, investors could borrow heavily and buy into the stock market a level previously regarded as impossible. This cornucopia was so forthcoming that, by 1929, a level of debt was reached that was unsustainable. If even a small increase in the interest rate was advanced, a stock market crash would occur, as debtors, who were up to their teeth in debt, would be underwater overnight.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s interesting here is that the very body that had taken over the economy in 1913 \u2013 the Federal Reserve \u2013 had created the artificially low interest rates, supplied the money, created the bubble, then, by raising interest rates in 1929, provided the pin to prick the bubble.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not very sporting.<\/p>\n

Today, the value of the dollar has been eroded by over 97% of its 1913 purchasing power and is due for replacement.<\/strong> If the owners of the Federal Reserve are to continue to regularly scalp the hoi polloi, the best approach would be to engineer a second major buildup of debt, trigger a crash, then introduce a new currency to \u201csave the economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

This, they will most assuredly do. The debt has already been created. A crash can be triggered in many ways, including the tried-and-true method of raising interest rates.<\/p>\n

And, after the predictable crash, the public will most assuredly cry out for those in power to \u201cdo something.\u201d The warning signs have been in view for some time that that \u201csomething\u201d will be digital currency \u2013 a currency that will make it necessary for virtually all economic transactions to pass through the hands of banks. Person-to-person transactions will virtually end, except for the possibility of barter, which would be likely to flourish as soon as the public have realized that they\u2019ve been hoodwinked.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, our friend Paul Revere is nowhere to be seen on the horizon, but the Federals are indeed coming and the American people, in the not-too-distant future, will need to learn to survive the onslaught from the digital currency system that will take the place of the bullets of the late eighteenth century.<\/p>\n

Once again, Americans will need to understand, as did their late eighteenth century forebears, that their only hope against a more powerful opponent is to use their wits \u2013 to adopt the minuteman approach and implement the economic equivalent of guerilla warfare.<\/strong><\/p>\n

*\u00a0 *\u00a0 *<\/p>\n

Excessive money printing and misguided economic ideas have created all kinds of distortions in the market. All signs point to this trend continuing until it reaches a crisis\u2026 one unlike anything we\u2019ve seen before. That\u2019s exactly why Doug Casey and his team just released an urgent video that explains how and why this is happening\u2026 and what you can do to protect yourself and even profit from the situation.\u00a0Click here to watch it now<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
