America needs to anchor its currency in gold in order to trade internationally. This would force the federal government—which has papered the world with fiat dollars—to balance its bloated and unsustainable budget. There is little appetite for countries to expand or even maintain trade with America unless they were paid in sound money (i.e., gold). A wise American government would agree to join such a system and not try to force other countries to use the dollar by threatening them with tariffs and sanctions. Such bullying tactics may appear to work in the short term, but they are not the basis for long term success. Americans may not realize it, but they need access to the worldwide trading system, which means that they need to join other nations in a single worldwide trade settlement system. In the long run, America cannot afford to be isolated economically.
This ijit author suggests setting up SWIFT and putting OUR gold in a neutral country, in his example Switzerland for establishing a true international gold standard. I object to this for several reasons. The first being that Switzerland is nowhere near a neutral country. Contrarily, it is the home of the Swiss gnomes, the banksters of Switzerland, who are happy to take the money from both sides of a war and keep the loser’s portion for themselves. Oh yes, they did that and are still holding the spoils. Second, is that if OUR gold is not in self-custody, it is not ours, but anybody’s who can manage to steal it, if it hasn’t been stolen or given away, already.
