THEY KILLED OUR MONEY: How the Elites Buried the Gold Standard and Sold Out America

EDITOR'S NOTES

The gold standard wasn’t just a monetary system — it was a symbol of American independence, discipline, and real wealth. But the elites couldn’t control it, so they destroyed it. In this takedown of fiat fraud, we expose how the gold standard kept the wolves at bay, and why corrupt politicians, central bankers, and globalists united to kill it. They replaced it with a system of lies — one that prints fake money, enslaves the middle class, and funds endless war. It’s time to fight back with real money and real freedom.

Sound Money vs. Fake Paper: The Fight for America's Financial Soul

The average American knows something ain’t right. Prices are up. Wages are stuck. The dollar doesn’t go as far as it used to — and it’s not by accident. This is the result of decades of manipulation, lies, and sabotage by the political class and their banker overlords.

There was a time when money meant something. Backed by gold. Tied to real value. That system was the gold standard. And it was destroyed — not by accident, but by design.

They didn’t just kill a policy. They killed the foundation of our freedom.

The Gold Standard: What It Really Meant

Under the gold standard, money was backed by something tangible — a scarce, valuable, universally recognized metal. Not promises, debt, nor "trust" in some unelected central bankers. Gold was money.

Ludwig von Mises — one of the last honest economists — called the gold standard a check on tyranny. It was “the symbol of liberty, prosperity, and civilization.”

He was right.

The gold standard didn’t allow politicians to spend recklessly. It didn't allow the Federal Reserve to print trillions out of thin air. It didn’t bail out corrupt Wall Street banks or finance forever wars overseas. It kept America grounded in reality.

And that’s exactly why they hated it.

Government Couldn't Control It — So They Destroyed It

Mises laid it bare: Governments didn’t want gold. They wanted control. So they sabotaged the system.

They tried a "bi-metallic" system — silver and gold together — but they failed. Bureaucrats tried fixing exchange rates between gold and silver, but the market rejected it. Silver got inflated. Gold stood strong. The market picked a winner. Gold became king.

But gold couldn't be manipulated. You can’t "print" more gold. You have to dig it out of the ground. That made it a threat to the people in power.

So they rigged the game. They called gold a "barbarous relic." They said it was outdated, inconvenient, inefficient. Lies. All of it. The gold standard wasn’t the problem — it was the last protection we had from financial tyranny.

The Real Reason Elites Hate Gold

Because gold tells the truth.

It doesn’t lie about inflation. It doesn’t cover up debt. It doesn't let governments bribe voters or cover budget shortfalls with Monopoly money.

Mises explained it plainly: The gold standard limits the power of the government. It stops inflation dead in its tracks. It pulls the plug on fake prosperity. And that terrifies the elites.

They can’t build empires, wage endless wars, or enrich themselves with a gold-backed currency. They need a system they can manipulate — a system based on fiat money, debt, and delusion.

So they scrapped gold. And replaced it with nothing.

Fiat Currency: A Fraud on the American People

We’ve been sold a lie. Today’s dollar is backed by nothing but political promises and IOUs. It's not money. It’s a tool of control.

Every dollar printed out of thin air steals from you. It drains your savings. It erodes your wages. It fuels inflation. It props up a rigged stock market while the middle class sinks.

The central banks are printing us into poverty — and they’re not stopping.

And now they want the next step: FedNow, Central Bank Digital Currencies, programmable money. If they control your wallet, they control your life.

It started when they took us off gold. It ends with digital slavery.

Rothbard Knew: Money Should Be Free From Government

Murray Rothbard didn’t just want a return to gold. He wanted freedom — a complete separation of money and state.

He saw how governments used money as a weapon. He argued that in a truly free market, gold would be exchanged by weight — grams, ounces, grains — not “dollars,” “euros,” or “francs.” These are just names the elites hide behind to sell you worthless paper.

Gold is honest money. It’s weight and value.

Why They Fear Honest Money

The attack on gold isn’t just about economics. It’s about power.

The elites fear what gold represents: accountability, reality, and freedom.

With gold, you can't just hit "print" and buy votes. You can't fund trillion-dollar wars, expand the surveillance state, and build empires on debt.

That’s why the gold standard had to die — and why they’re terrified you’ll demand it back.

Because gold ends the scam.

Patriots, It’s Time to Take Back Our Money

We’re in a war — not with tanks and bombs, but with interest rates, inflation, and fake money. This is economic warfare. And the middle class is the target.

The gold standard was never perfect — but it was honest. It was rooted in reality. And it stood in the way of the elite’s master plan.

They killed it because it worked.

Now they want total control over your wallet, your bank, your freedom. And they’re moving fast.

The time to act is now.
