The Death of the Penny Proves It: The Fed Wants Total Financial Control

EDITOR'S NOTES

The penny is dead, and the Federal Reserve pulled the trigger. Trump may have signed the death certificate, but make no mistake—the central banking cartel has been bleeding the U.S. dollar dry for over a century. And if you think this is just about loose change, think again. The real question is, what’s next? If the Fed can erase the smallest unit of currency through inflationary sabotage, why stop there? Trump’s economic credibility—and maybe even his political future—could be their next target.

For decades, Ron Paul has been sounding the alarm about the Federal Reserve’s unchecked power, and he’s been right all along. The same banking overlords who devalue your money are the ones hell-bent on moving us into a surveillance-state digital currency. This isn’t just about pennies—it’s about control.

The Pennies Are Gone. Will Your Dollar Be Next?

It’s official—the U.S. Mint has been ordered to stop producing pennies. Trump’s executive order might be the final nail in the coffin, but let’s get real: the Federal Reserve has been suffocating the value of American money for decades. Want proof? The dollar has lost 97 percent of its value since the Fed’s inception. That’s not a conspiracy—it’s cold, hard math.

And now, inflation is ramping up again. The government’s own cooked numbers say consumer prices jumped 0.5 percent in January, the biggest spike in months. That’s their manipulated data—imagine what the real numbers look like. People are angry, and rightfully so. Polls show 53 percent of Americans think the economy is on the wrong track. Even mainstream polling outfits like Gallup report that 54 percent disapprove of how Trump is handling the economy.

And here’s the kicker: they’re blaming Trump for inflation that’s being manufactured by the Federal Reserve. That’s how the game works. The central bankers inflate the currency, sabotage the economy, and leave the politicians holding the bag. When prices skyrocket, they don’t point fingers at the Fed—they blame the administration.

And Trump, whether knowingly or not, is playing right into their hands. His tariff policies will only drive prices higher. Meanwhile, the Deep State, Wall Street, and the Fed continue their economic power grab.

Ron Paul Was Right: The Federal Reserve Is the Problem

If there’s one man who saw all of this coming decades ago, it’s Ron Paul. He warned us that the Federal Reserve’s manipulation of the economy wasn’t just reckless—it was deliberate. And yet, the establishment laughed him off, dismissed him as a crank, and ignored his calls to Audit the Fed.

Here’s what they don’t tell you: the Fed operates in near-total secrecy. The so-called "Government Accountability Office" (GAO) is legally prohibited from auditing its monetary policy. That means Congress—and you—are completely in the dark about what this unaccountable cabal is doing with your money.

We got a tiny glimpse behind the curtain with the Dodd-Frank audit after the 2008 crash. And what did we find? Between 2007 and 2010, the Federal Reserve funneled over 16 TRILLION DOLLARS to foreign banks and private corporations. That’s not a typo. Sixteen trillion—vanished. Imagine what a full audit would expose.

The Audit the Fed bill would force the Federal Reserve into the daylight. No more secret bailouts. No more shadow games. No more printing money out of thin air and handing it off to globalist cronies.

A Plan to Take Back Control

Trump can flip the script and go on the offensive. Here’s how:

Demand Congress pass the Audit the Fed bill—and sign it into law.
Abolish capital gains taxes on alternative currencies like gold, silver, and crypto—giving Americans real financial freedom.
Outlaw the Fed’s ability to monetize government debt by purchasing Treasury bonds, which fuels endless spending and inflation.

The Bottom Line: Inflation Is Theft

Let’s be clear: inflation isn’t caused by labor unions, immigrants, or "greedy corporations"—that’s the distraction. Inflation is engineered by a corrupt central banking system running on a fiat currency designed to fail. It’s a hidden tax that bleeds your savings dry while enriching the elite.

The penny is just the beginning. They want to erase cash entirely, replace it with a Fed-controlled digital dollar, and trap every transaction in their Orwellian financial panopticon. This is about total control.

Ron Paul saw this coming. He spent his entire career trying to wake people up to the central banking scam. Now, it’s time to finish what he started.

The Audit the Fed bill is the first step toward breaking their grip. But it won’t happen without a fight. If Trump wants to save his presidency—and America—he needs to go after the real enemy: the Federal Reserve.
