Guest jetgraphics Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Candidate / Congressman Ron Paul is no solution when he's part of the problem Americans know that there is "a problem". They see their country crumbling before their eyes. They see their children sent to foreign lands to fight and die, for no legitimate reason (no injured American or his property as the basis for the invasion - no Congressional Declaration of War). They see their standard of living tank (what one receives in exchange for one's labor). They see their current monies (Federal Reserve Notes) fall in relation with other currencies. They see that their dependence upon petroleum holds them hostage to the whims of less than stable suppliers abroad. They are burdened with ever mounting taxes, while "public servants" vote themselves a life of luxury, benefits, prerogatives, and a retirement package that is a (expletive deleted) slap in the face of every hardworking American who is destined for poverty. Of course, no candidate DARES utter the basis for America's dilemma... It's one word - usury. (Oh Yeah?) In case you are unaware, ALL major religions denounce usury. And, no, usury is not "excessive interest". Usury is the fee denominated in money for the use of money (or extension of credit). Any interest is usury. Mathematically speaking, usury is impossible to pay in a finite money token system (like America's "lawful money" - gold and silver coin). The exponential equation for calculating interest GUARANTEES that at some finite increment of time, the aggregate (whole sum) of outstanding debt (principle and interest) will exceed the total amount of money in existence. In short, there will be a proportion of debtors who will default simply because the money does not exist with which to pay the usurer. And they suffer loss of pledged property as the usurer gleefully collects. Yet they will blame themselves for their misery, not realizing that the game was rigged, and the usurer always wins. Key facts: Coinage Act of 1792, et seq, defines a unit dollar as a silver coin with no less than 3/4 troy ounce of pure silver and other alloys. And a one ounce GOLD COIN is equivalent to 20 unit (silver) dollars. LAWFUL MONEY - "The terms 'lawful money' and 'lawful money of the United States' shall be construed to mean gold or silver coin of the United States..." Title 12 United States Code, Sec. 152. Title 31 of the U.S. code, a silver dollar complies with the original Coinage Act. 31 USC Sec. 5112. Denominations, specifications, and design of coins (e)(1) ...weight 31.103 grams; (e)(4) have inscriptions ... 1 Oz. Fine Silver ... One Dollar (This complies with the U.S.Constitution, Art 1, Sec 8, & Sec 10) Fort Knox: The United States Bullion Depository holds about 5,037.5 tons (4,570 metric tonnes) of gold bullion (147.3 million ounces). That translates into $ 2,946,000,000 U.S. dollars (gold). (Don't confuse the current market price for gold, since the price is actually denominated in Federal Reserve Notes - not real dollars.) TITLE 12,CHAPTER 3,SUBCHAPTER XII,sec. 411. Issuance to reserve banks; nature of obligation; redemption " Federal reserve notes, to be issued at the discretion of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for the purpose of making advances to Federal reserve banks through the Federal reserve agents as hereinafter set forth and for no other purpose, are authorized. The said notes shall be obligations of the United States and shall be receivable by all national and member banks and Federal reserve banks and for all taxes, customs, and other public dues. They shall be redeemed in LAWFUL MONEY on demand at the Treasury Department of the United States, in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, or at any Federal Reserve bank." National Debt: The Outstanding Public Debt as of 29 Nov 2007 at 11:11:18 PM GMT is: $ 9,132,290,557,763.61 U.S. gold holdings (almost 3 billions) are insufficient to "pay off the debt" over 9.1 trillions. And, no, you can't pay off the debt with a debt. A Federal Reserve Note is an obligation of the U.S. to pay dollars (gold) on demand (Title 12 United States Code Section 411). But in 1933, Congress repudiated their promise to pay on those notes. They have no par value (i.e., worthless). The "law" (Federal Reserve Act of 1913) created this "interest" contract that holds us hostage. When Congress declared bankruptcy in 1933 (See Bank Holiday of 1933 and House Joint Resolution 192, June 1933), they declared that they would no longer redeem their notes with lawful money. But the creditor wasn't stupid. Congress became trustees of their own bankruptcy. (Oh my, the foxes are guarding the chicken house!). And in that spirit of fiduciary responsibility they passed the "Federal Insurance Contribution Act" (aka Social Security Act) of 1935. Every American who joined up, became a "human resource" pledged as collateral on that unpayable national debt. (You did know that there is law compelling participation. It's 100% voluntary. If it was mandatory, it would be involuntary servitude and thus unconstitutional.) Now, the creditor was happy. The worthless notes were "legal tender" upon all those millions of "contributors" (equally liable to pay the debt notes), and government could take a skim with which to enrich the creditor and themselves. Ask RON PAUL or any other candidate for high office for his willingness to tell the creditor to take a hike... From what my sources say, RP said that it would be UNFAIR TO THE CREDITOR. (What do you call an impossible contract? FAIR PLAY!?) An obligation to pay 9.1 trillions in gold dollars computes to roughly 455,000,000,000 ounces. At current mining rates (and if the gold exists), it would only take 870,000 years to mine enough ore IF the debt was frozen right now. (No, the world wide above ground stock of gold, if stolen by the U.S. government, would still be insufficient to pay the debt) It's obvious that going back to "gold money" is impossible. Even if the national debt was wiped off the books, the amount of U.S.gold at Fort Knox divided percapita is only $9.82 constitutional dollars. I don't know about you, but that is insufficient to operate a national economy. Would that percapita share be a year's salary? A work year of 2080 hours would mean that an "honest hourly wage" would be 0.0046 dollars (4.6 mils or less than a half cent). What would we use for "small change"? Certificates for molecules of gold? And you can bet that "billionaires and millionaires" would take the lion's share of that gold money for themselves. It would appear that ignorance of law, economics, physics and history trump even apathy as the greatest challenge to resolving America's problems. As long as we consent to the abomination of usury, we are doomed. (Warning - the following solution does not require any action on the part of the government) You can: 1. Cancel all contracts for usury (close all interest bearing bank accounts, sell off all stocks) 2. Cancel participation in national socialism (aka Social Security) 3. Sit back and watch the U.S. Congress squirm, impotent to "command" us; watch the Federal Reserve note sink into oblivion; but whatever you do - watch out! And to REALLY hack off the "system" 4. Acquire a domicile (legal and permanent home) 5. Revert back to American national status. (Cease being a "U.S. citizen / resident residing at a residence") (As an American national, free inhabitant, domiciled upon private property within the boundaries of the U.S.A., one ceases to be a person liable... for just about everything. An inhabitant is a non- resident, thus all laws obligating "residents" no longer apply. SS-5 form for a SocSec account is limited to U.S. citizens and U.S. residents. American nationals and inhabitants cannot apply nor participate. ) Now you see why no candidate is a solution when they're part of the underlying problem. -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - Footnotes: Ezekiel 18:13 KJV defines usury as a capital offense. "Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him." He (the usurer) shall surely die - his blood be upon his own hands... thus no blame to his killer. Is this why the U.S. government "trusts in God" when it kills American usurers with impunity? Aristotle (384-322 BC) formulated the classical view against usury. Aristotle understood that money is sterile; it doesn't beget more money the way cows beget more cows. He knew that "Money exists not by nature but by law": "The most hated sort (of wealth getting) and with the greatest reason, is usury, which makes a gain out of money itself and not from the natural object of it. For money was intended to be used in exchange but not to increase at interest. And this term interest (tokos), which means the birth of money from money is applied to the breeding of money because the offspring resembles the parent. Wherefore of all modes of getting wealth, this is the most unnatural." (1258b POLITICS) And he especially disliked usurers: "...those who ply sordid trades, pimps and all such people, and those who lend small sums at high rates. For all these take more than they ought, and from the wrong sources. What is common to them is a sordid love of gain..." (1122a, ETHICS) In plain English - money is an abstraction, a medium of exchange and an accounting symbol for REAL goods and services. Money, itself, cannot have intrinsic value, lest mathematical chaos will erupt. Nor can usury be tolerated in a finite money token system. - - - "INHABITANT -One who resides actually and permanently in a given place, and has his domicile there." - - - Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, p.782 "DOMICILE - A person's legal home. That place where a man has his true, fixed, and permanent home and principal establishment, and to which whenever he is absent he has the intention of returning." - - - Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, p.484 "RESIDENCE - Place where one actually lives ... Residence implies something more than physical presence and something less than domicile. The terms 'resident' and 'residence' have no precise legal meaning... [One can have many residences but only one domicile] - - - Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, p.1308, 1309 A resident with a (legal) residence is an assertion that one has NO DOMICILE (no legal home). In contrast, an inhabitant has a legal and permanent home. Coincidentally, no state requires non-resident inhabitants to get permission (license) to drive, own a car, a dog, build a house, enter occupations or any other rights of free men. In fact, if you carefully examine their law, the inhabitant is rarely mentioned since he is not subject to nor object of their authority. The bottom line - no government that prospers at our ignorance will admit that they have misled us for generations. But you can prove it to yourself - go to any county courthouse law library and look up the definitions and decisions related to the following terms: You will not find many references in statutes, if any, dealing with the following terms: [] American national (nationality is a characteristic of BIRTH and PARENTAGE) [] Free inhabitant [] Domicile [] Natural and personal liberty [] Common law, rules of (see 7th amendment) [] Private property (owned absolutely by an individual) Instead, you will find numerous references to those persons liable, subject to or object of their power: >< U.S. citizens >< U.S. residents >< Legal residences >< Estate (real and personal property held with qualified ownership) >< Civil rights (Civil liberties) >< Political liberties (Voting and holding office) >< Civil law, based on strict rules and regulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They encourage us to think that lending money at interest is "good", despite all evidence to the contrary. It's simple mathematics. The exponential equation for calculating interest, no matter what that interest rate is, has a finite time increment when the total aggregate debt will EXCEED the total amount of money in existence. In America's case, it only took 20 years (1913-1933) to bankrupt the United States government. If you think that tricking people into impossible contracts is "good", then it makes sense why you'd poke fun at religions that denounce usury.

Interesting footnote, of all Christian sects, the longest hold out against usury was the Roman Catholic Church. They ended their ban on usury in 1918. All the other Protestant sects capitulated far sooner - some as early as the 15th century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your per capita share of this debt is $30,073.20. (in "real money" - not FRNs) Technically, a "contributor" is equally liable for the WHOLE obligation, so under FICA, you're in hock for 9.1 trillions. Of course, if you are not a participant you are not a "person liable". :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by patient research into law, one can find that Enemy #1 is looking back at us in the mirror. Usurers could not prosper without our cooperation. Congress could not wield the monstrous power of its funny munny budget without the millions of voluntary socialists. (Now you know why they act so impotent about "illegal immigrants" and their push to grant amnesty. They want more "human resources" to bolster their bank accounts.) Remember, the Congress has the delegated power to COIN money (buy bullion, stamp coin) or BORROW on the credit of the U.S. Every Federal Reserve note is a debt. And it was repudiated in 1933. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_certificate " According to the U.S. treasury, 'The notes have no value for themselves, but for what they will buy. In another sense, because they are legal tender, Federal Reserve notes are "backed" by all the goods and services in the economy.' " Curiously, few understand how their worthless notes became backed by YOU and YOUR property. Congress has been writing I.O.U.s pledging YOU and YOUR property as collateral. Congressman Ron Paul and his cohorts have been silent on how that grand theft has been legally accomplished. You can imagine the dismay when the creditor calls his debt "due on demand" and forecloses upon "all the goods and services" in the economy. How far off is that day? Some think it has already come and passed, as evidenced by the proliferation of police, rent-a-cops, and private armies for individual security. We're being conditioned for the Police State that will fully implement the "Emergency Orders" already on the books. The biggest organized crime syndicate is Congress, and it doesn't tolerate competition. :-) (Naw, that's not accurate. Congress never, ever passed a law that impaired the private property rights of the American nationals, domiciled as free inhabitants, within the boundaries of the U.S.A. In fact, they expressly passed laws to protect American sovereigns.) FOREIGN SOVEREIGN IMMUNITIES ACT OF 1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG: That sounds reasonable on the surface. Perhaps it would be better to use the analogy of a sinking ship. Those who run the ship are telling us that if we "participate", the ship won't sink. The crew are told, that if more get aboard, the ship won't sink. However, the wise man would leave the ship and head for dry land. The "Ship of State" is the Socialist state, sinking under the twin weights of usury and socialism. The "dry land" is the law of the land, based upon justice, reason and common sense. Remember, the Declaration of Independence asserts that governments are created to (a) secure rights to life, liberty and private property, and (b) govern those who consent. As one pundit remarked, If voting changed anything, voting would be outlawed. What makes the political process inert? SOCIALISM - A political and economic theory advocating collective ownership of the means of production and control of distribution. It is based upon the belief that all, while contributing to the good of the community, are equally entitled to the care and protection which the community can provide. COMMUNISM - the ownership of property, or means of production, distribution and supply, by the whole of a classless society, with wealth shared on the principle of 'to each according to his need', each yielding fully 'according to his ability'. Neither Socialism, nor Communism tolerate individual ownership of private property. From the Communist manifesto: "In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property." Since 1935, Americans have not owned private property. That claim is supported by the following definition: PRIVATE PROPERTY - As protected from being taken for public uses, is such property as belongs absolutely to an individual, and of which he has the exclusive right of disposition. Property of a specific, fixed and tangible nature, capable of being in possession and transmitted to another, such as houses, lands, and chattels. - - Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p.1217 CAPITALISM - An economic system in which the means of production, distribution and exchange are privately owned and operated for private profit. Combining the two, we get Capitalism is an economic system in which the means of production, distribution and exchange are absolutely owned by individuals who enjoy the fruits thereof. As the fifth amendment promises, private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation. Now, in case you are unaware, real estate and private property are mutually exclusive because of ownership type. Consider that if the State takes real estate for non payment of taxes, it does not offer just compensation. The recent Supreme Court case dealing with condemnation of real estate that was transferred to another private party was upheld as constitutional because it wasn't a taking of private property. In all the State constitutions I've read, they only delegate the power to tax real estate. They never mention taxing private property. If you were misled to believe that "all land" is real estate, consider the following. LAND. ... The land is one thing, and the estate in land is another thing, for an estate in land is a time in land or land for a time. - - -Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p.877 OWNERSHIP - "... Ownership of property is either absolute or qualified. The ownership of property is absolute when a single person has the absolute dominion over it... The ownership is qualified when it is shared with one or more persons, when the time of enjoyment is deferred or limited, or when the use is restricted." - - -Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p. 1106 ESTATE - The degree, quantity, nature and extent of interest which a person has in real and personal property. An estate in lands, tenements, and hereditaments signifies such interest as the tenant has therein." Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p.547 INTEREST - ...More particularly it means a right to have the advantage of accruing from anything ; any right in the nature of property, but LESS THAN TITLE. Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p.812 TITLE - "The formal right of ownership of property..." Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p.1485 Real estate / Real property refers to "lands, tenements, heriditaments" a person or tenant has NO formal right of ownership of property - only the advantages from it. PROPERTY TAX - "An ad valorem tax, usually levied by a city or county, on the value of real or personal property that the taxpayer owns on a specified date." Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p.1218 Now you can see why Americans no longer own private property. If they are paying a "property tax" on real property / real estate, it's not private property. Yet the governments repeatedly promise to respect "private property rights" while misleading folks to assume that their land, houses and chattels are estate. Can any politician correct the problem when ignorant Americans mindlessly register their property as "estate"? Or is it that as duly enrolled socialists, they are barred from absolutely owning anything, including themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG: Can you produce any facts that support your conclusions? Are you disputing the law, as enacted? Did you bother to read Title 12 USC Sec 411? In it, it plainly states that Federal Reserve notes are obligations of the U.S. government to pay lawful money on demand. Lawful money is defined as silver and gold coin. Since 1933, the government has repudiated that obligation to pay lawful money. Ergo, the Federal Reserve notes are worthless, no par value. There is no such thing as a "sound currency" when it is borrowed into existence, at usury. In fact, paper money is either a certificate (of deposit of real money) or a note (a promise to pay real money in the future). Neither is "backed". If you believe that paper currency is backed, you are mistaken. Abolishing the Federal Reserve without first abolishing the debt is nugatory. Abolishing the debt and the usury behind it will accomplish half the job. But Ron Paul has never, ever espoused abolishing the national debt, nor injuring the interests of the creditor. If you have evidence to the contrary, please present it. Furthermore, Ron Paul has never, ever expressed abolishing the Social Security Act of 1935. Without that act, Congress would lose 95% of its power. If you have evidence to the contrary, please present it. From RP's website: "(He) introduced the Social Security Preservation Act (H.R. 219) to ensure that money paid into the system is only used for Social Security." Ron Paul hasn't read the law. According to the Congressional Research Service, entitlements are not a property right, but a "gift" from Congress. Congress is under no contractual obligation to pay benefits. And all contributions are merely more revenue. And not one dollar has ever been paid into Social Security by the millions of contributors. Because a dollar, by law, is either a gold or silver coin. A worthless note denominated as a dollar is not a dollar, no more than a picture of an elephant IS an elephant. From RP's website: "... the Federal Reserve, our central bank, fosters runaway debt by increasing the money supply -- making each dollar in your pocket worth less."

JG: Can you produce any facts that support your conclusions? Are you disputing the law, as enacted? Did you bother to read Title 12 USC Sec 411? In it, it plainly states that Federal Reserve notes are obligations of the U.S. government to pay lawful money on demand. Lawful money is defined as silver and gold coin. Since 1933, the government has repudiated that obligation to pay lawful money. Ergo, the Federal Reserve notes are worthless, no par value. There is no such thing as a "sound currency" when it is borrowed into existence, at usury. In fact, paper money is either a certificate (of deposit of real money) or a note (a promise to pay real money in the future). Neither is "backed". If you believe that paper currency is backed, you are mistaken. Abolishing the Federal Reserve without first abolishing the debt is nugatory. Abolishing the debt and the usury behind it will accomplish half the job. But Ron Paul has never, ever espoused abolishing the national debt, nor injuring the interests of the creditor. If you have evidence to the contrary, please present it. Furthermore, Ron Paul has never, ever expressed abolishing the Social Security Act of 1935. Without that act, Congress would lose 95% of its power. If you have evidence to the contrary, please present it. From RP's website: "(He) introduced the Social Security Preservation Act (H.R. 219) to ensure that money paid into the system is only used for Social Security." Ron Paul hasn't read the law. According to the Congressional Research Service, entitlements are not a property right, but a "gift" from Congress. Congress is under no contractual obligation to pay benefits. And all contributions are merely more revenue. And not one dollar has ever been paid into Social Security by the millions of contributors. Because a dollar, by law, is either a gold or silver coin. A worthless note denominated as a dollar is not a dollar, no more than a picture of an elephant IS an elephant. From RP's website: "... the Federal Reserve, our central bank, fosters runaway debt by increasing the money supply -- making each dollar in your pocket worth less." Obviously, he doesn't read the law, either. The runaway debt is necessary for new money to exist. No new Federal Reserve note can be printed unless CONGRESS (Ron Paul, et al) increases the debt. In fact, without RED INK, the paper money supply would lag behind the economy. Not that I support debt-credit paper instruments. But unless you KNOW something about America's constitutional money system, your objections are groundless. As stated earlier, based on the amount of gold in the depository at Fort Knox, there's not enough to run a national economy. In short, we can't continue with debt money borrowed at usury, we can't go back to "hard money" (gold and silver coin), and there's no solution within the definition of the Art.1, Sec. 8 or Sec. 10 of the U.S. Constitution.

Simple. You learn the IRS code and you arrange your affairs so that other people have to worry about it. Isn't that what you pay government for? When you pay someone to do a job, why should you continue to worry about it? If you don't like the job they're doing, fire them.

They tried to ban the jews in england from introducing usury in the Magna Carta. Look up Magna Carta and the Jews. They tried to ban the jews all over Europe from their usury and conspiracy too indenture non-jews in jew controlled and owned monetary system. Thats why all the jews in Europe were forced into ghettoes and banned from participating in commerce and governments. This was not due to one empire, this was consistent across all of Europe. One of Napoleon's gravest mistakes was to liberate the jews across Europe as he conquered each state. Napoleon was being ultruistic. He believed that the jews could be trusted again to assimilate rather than conspire as they always did. Napoleon and every other leader to follow him have turned out to be wrong everytime. In order to destroy the jewish cult cabal and this perpetual problem, the jews must be pitied. They must be made to be ashamed of considering themselves jews such that they will abandon the association and assimilate with the rest of humanity. It is not the individual jew's fault or make-up but his indoctrination from birth which makes him behave in this way. The jews must be once again demoralised and laughed at for their pathetic and miserable inhumanities. That is the final solution. It is the only solution. Israel must be dismantled and wiped off the map of history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up Magna Carta and the Jews. JG: Usurers are not limited to any ethnic or religious group. All religions denounced usury. However, at this time, only Islam categorically forbids usury. This may be one of the reasons why the "free world" (enslaved to usurers) wage war on Islamic governments. Which poses the question - what do you think would happen if the U.S. government (or its people) repudiated usury? Would the usury dominated world turn upon the U.S.A.? We don't need usury for prosperity Prosperity is not generated by a large supply of money tokens. Prosperity is generated by the creation, exchange and transportation of surplus usable goods and services. Money is merely a medium of exchange to facilitate the trade of that surplus. America has been gutted because people have forgotten that wealth is the result of production, not manipulation of money tokens via usury. Instead of mighty factories and skilled workforce gainfully employed, we have plutocrats filling their pockets via every scheme and scam under the sun; usury, limited liability, bribery, corruption, gambling, and other abominations notwithstanding. Alternately, there are reforms that would eliminate the power of usurers. 1. Eliminate scarce money tokens. 2. Promote the private promissory note money system. 3. Do not protect usurers nor enforce their contracts in courts of law. Scarcity of money drives demand for credit, which enriches usurers. Bankers fear free and unlimited money creation. In the 1870s, the U.S. silver output threatened the international bankers so much, that they had their puppet Congress demonetize silver despite the constitutional requirement for silver coin. (See "Cross of Gold" speech by William Jennings Bryan) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_of_1873 The consequence was an economic mess that lead up to the scam of an "elastic currency" via the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Private promissory notes (not unlike coupons) if circulated as tender, would relieve the scarce money token issue that plagues many communities. Since they are not borrowed into existence, they do not enrich usurers. In fact, the fine print on many coupons recite "cash value 1/20 of a cent" to discourage the idea that they can circulate with the face value of the item in question. Many communities have created alternative money token systems independent of usury. (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ithaca_hours) The basic idea is that only producers of goods and services should have the authority to create the medium of exchange necessary for trade. Consumers / parasites like government or usurers should never, ever have the power to create money tokens. (Technically speaking, the U.S. Congress has no power to "create" money. It is delegated the power to COIN money, stamped from bullion. There is no power to create bullion.) Banning contracts for usury from enforcement in courts of law, and not protecting usurers who were injured by their victims would go a long way to curing the problem. Since usurers are felons under a death sentence (see Ezekiel 18:13 KJV), it is an axiom of law that felons are responsible for injuries they suffer in the course of their criminal activity. Unfortunately, the U.S. Constitution enshrined usury, via the bankruptcy protection power. Remember, though states are barred from impairing the obligations of contracts, the bankruptcy protection IS a violation of a contract. There is no moral imperative to deny a legitimate creditor his due. But thanks to usury, and the mathematical certainty that a proportion of debtors would fail due to the lack of money, the bankruptcy protection was a "safety valve". Thus no victim of usury would feel that his only recourse was to summarily execute the usurers who plagued him. This fact illustrates that the U.S. Constitution had nothing to do with God or morality. Anyone assuming that it was a divinely inspired document is woefully misled. Jesus never preached, "Bless those who screw their creditor..." When Ron Paul advocates the repeal of the Federal Reserve Act, abolishes the fraudulent national debt, and repeals national socialism (Social Security Act), then he's a solution and not part of the problem.
