1. Regarding Q#4 ("The United States today IS more like a(n): a. Empire B. Republic"):

Thankfully, the United States ARE a Republic, even as the United States IS being run like an Empire. We need to quit buying into the false agenda of the "IS" crowd and get back to the "ARE" crowd. We must expose the false rule of paper tyrants to the bright light of day, to get back what is rightfully ours.

2. Q#9 ("Bitcoin or Dollar" [pointing to the dollar of Jay Powell]): What about the dollar of the Constitution--gold or silver coin? I'll take the precious metal dollar, over Bitcoin.

Re: 1 -- would love to see that AND want to figure out how to operationalize it beyond partisan politics.

Re: 2 -- You do you! I like precious metals, too, but I can't easily use it to buy something far away.

Re: 2. Yes, that is the great difficulty.

Re: 1. I have been working diligently on this for 30+ years, and I'm working now on simplifying the message. I have been pushing hard with a new approach (greatly simplifying my complex message), that I am confident will establish the path forward, outside the election process, to throw off the false rule of paper tyrants.

I hope to be ready to launch by Independence Day.

Thanks, Max. I'll comment on that page.

You may have interest also, in my ongoing discussion on my Substack page, about the devious conversion from gold and silver coin to paper currency (or, any of my 8 public domain books which touch on the issue of money).

Issue 29 (March, 2022) of my Beacon Spotlight newsletter started the look at the coining of money, by examining the Coinage Act of 1792, showing only gold and silver coin were money.

Issue 30 (April, 22) continued the look into regulating monetary value, by examining the Coinage Act of 1834.

Issue 31 (May) looked into coining and regulating money further, by examining the coinage Acts of 1837, 1849 and 1873.

Issue 32 (June) began a look into paper currency.

Issue 33 (July) looked at the Independent Treasury Act of 1846, when the federal government looked for returns of money, instead of "on" money (securing "money" in best possible light).

Issue 34 (August) examined the 1862 Legal Tender Act, the first Act to declare paper currency a legal tender.

Issue 35 (Sept) examined the various Supreme Court cases involving paper currency declared a legal tender (with the first three cases striking down this power).

Issue 36 (Oct) looked further into The Legal Tender Cases Supreme Court ruling first upholding paper currencies as legal tender, by upholding this power under the exclusive legislation power of Congress for the District Seat.

Issue 37 (Nov) looked into the 1881 Supreme Court case of Juilliard v. Greenman, showing the continuing deception of the justices to support legal tender paper currencies extended beyond proper boundaries.

And, Issue 27 (January, 2022—written before I decided to steer discussion to money) examined FDR’s 1933 gold “con-fiscation”, showing it to only affect “persons” legally defined as bank shareholders who had a legal obligation to back their banking liabilities with gold (no one else was a “person” for purposes of the regulation). In other words, E.O. 6102 was but a “margin call” on over-extended bank shareholders who had to bring additional capital to back their overextended financial positions.
