Richard Russell: "We're closing in on the time when, like a light bulb turning on, Americans will finally realize that they've been hoodwinked by one of the greatest swindles in the history of civilized man. They've been working and saving printed paper with the firm conviction that the paper they worked so hard for was money. Wait, why is that printed paper worth anything at all? It's worth something simply because the government has pronounced by fiat that dollars are "legal tender for all debts, public and private." So the "dollars" that we work our whole lives for, is backed by nothing but the "full faith and credit of the United States." And how good is that credit? Two credit agencies are now threatening to lower the rating of US bonds. If that happens, it will be a monumental shocker? And yes, all sovereign money is now being judged and classified as to its worth. Did anyone ever gauge or debate the value of gold? As I see it, we're watching the very beginning of the end of fiat money."
