Preparedness Notes for Monday — March 17, 2025
James Wesley Rawles
*** begin quote ***
Here is another example: An Old Timer Schrade Two Blade Folding Knife, priced at $110, plus $15 postage. (Total of $125, divided by 24.7 = $5.06. When rounded down, that would be just $5.00 face value in 90% silver coins. So mailing us 20 silver quarters would buy you that knife.)
As you can see from that example, as a nation we have been collectively robbed by both inflation and currency debasement. The real tangible VALUE of a knife or a silver coin has not changed much since 1964. It is the overproduced Federal Reserve Note “dollars” (both paper and digital) that gradually have had less and less purchasing power.

Yeah, yeah, I rant on this all the time.
Fiat (i.e., it has value because the Gooferment says so) has declined in value somewhere around 95%. I’ve posted about: penny candy, nickel cigars, dime store novels, and 30¢ a gallon gas. Also, the minimum wage of five silver quarters per hour would be worth about $25 per hour today.
Funny how that works but yet “We, The Sheeple” refuse to see Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats as the parasites and thieves that they are.
Imagine what the Dead Old White Guys would think of all this?
#endthefed would be a policy not a hashtag.
Ron Paul was, and is, right. When you cut out a cancer, what do you replace it with? Nothing!
