MONEY: Arizona GOLDBACKs Limited Early Release – Now available

Saturday, October 18, 2025

Interesting. 

Goldbacks are now coming in new denominations  —  3, 2, and ½ of a goldback. 

This to me indicates that there is some demand.  I know in Keene that at least 120 businesses are taking them.  And, not just the odd balls running businesses.  I see that there are also more merchants taking them in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona.  Seems like a groundswell to upset the FRBies. 

Last time something this big happened was when Bernard von NotHaus started NORFED and the FEDs railroaded him into jail and seized all the assets. They hung their charges on the fact that he called it a “dollar”.  I wish I was on that jury. 

Notice how the folks behind the GOLDBACK have avoid that particular pothole!

Wonder how they will try to suppress this rebellion?

Interesting fact is that “dollar” is a corruption of the German word “Thaller” which was a one ounce silver coin minted by Joseph Thaller way back when.  So where does the FED get off usurping that word for their paper fiat junk.

# – # – # – # – #

The Federal Reserve Bank is a misnomer. IT ain’t “federal”. It reserves nothing. And, it ain’t a “bank”. It is a private cartel of the elite banks run for their benefit and that of the entrenched politicians.

Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

So clearly, the Dead Old White Guys didn’t intend for the Federal Gooferment to issue money?

GRAND COUNTY, Utah — Utah search and rescue crews put their lives on the line in some of the most treacherous conditions around the state, often helping those who bite off a little more than they can chew.

Grand County Emergency Medical Services shared photos from an incredible rescue last Saturday that found a man stranded on a hoodoo towering thousands of feet in the air over the canyon below.

FROM FARK

Subby doesn’t subscribe to the notion that someone in danger should pay for their rescue, but, of course, there are exceptions 

# – # – # – # – # 

A rescue crew for 3 hours costs something.  Why should “rescues” be “free” except to the Taxpayer.

Maybe there should be a sliding scale for reimbursement based on “forseeability of requiring rescue” or total cost or some other factors.

One buys travel and medical insurance in connection with a cruise.  Why not something similar for venues like the Grand Canyon, National Parks, or ski slopes?

Maybe I’m a grinch but the Taxpayers should not be the stuckee.

VETERANS: Vets know what the FLAG really means — a lot of KIAs, MIAs, WIAs, DAVs who sacrificed for it

Utah garbage man secretly filmed teaching woman a ‘lesson’ about American flag
‘I took an oath once to defend this country and our flag, and I still do,’ the man said
By Jon Brown | Fox News

A garbage man in Utah was filmed last week taking an American flag out of the trash and folding it neatly when he thought nobody was looking.

Don “Munch” Gardner, a Marine Corps veteran, was secretly taped honoring the flag by Huntingdon, Utah resident Brooke Cowley, according to Fox 13.

“I was a complete idiot! I was cleaning our porch while the kids did an Easter egg hunt. I threw away our flag and pole because it had broken and ripped,” Cowley wrote on Facebook. “Then I witnessed our ‘garbage man’ stop get out of the truck, unhook the flag and take the time to fold it!”

A lot of people sacrifices — some it all — and hopefully we all will remember that.

God loved the Marines.  And they prove what they love — Semper Fidelis.

LIBERTARIAN: You can put what you want in your own body — The West Virginia Gooferment gets this one right

West Virginia passes the best food freedom law in the country

In the Land of the Free, most state laws severely limit what kinds of food items people can sell. These laws hit small farmers and producers really hard, where people have to submit to kitchen inspections and pay steep permit fees.

In 2015 however, Wyoming set the food freedom standard with a law which cut all sorts of restrictions on selling homemade foods like baked goods, pickles, and kombucha.

Neighbors South Dakota and Utah quickly followed.

Now West Virginia has passed arguably the most expansive food freedom law in the country.

It allows homemade food to be sold online or in person without licenses or inspections. They just have to include a label explaining that it is homemade, listing the ingredients, warning of possible allergens, and including contact info of the producer.

There is no limit to how much a merchant can earn, and the only restriction is on foods containing meat.

So far, Wyoming, North Dakota, and Utah say there hasn’t been a single report of foodborne illness from anyone selling food under the new laws.

It’s sad that allowing people the freedom to choose what they put in their own bodies is such a novel concept. But we’re happy to see this law passed.

POLITICAL: I thought “all powers not enumerated were reserved to the States or the People”?

Despite Secession Talk, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
May 04, 2017 By Mindy Fetterman

*** begin quote ***

Recently, these efforts have ranged from fairly large, ongoing campaigns in Texas and California to smaller pushes in Oklahoma, Maine, Utah, West Virginia and New York’s Long Island, among others.  

Just last month, a longshot effort to allow Californians to vote on seceding fell apart after one of the founders dropped out amid criticism of his ties to Russia. But a new group pushing secession has vowed to collect the nearly 600,000 signatures required by July to put the measure on the November 2018 ballot.

Last May, the Texas Nationalist Movement came within two votes of adding Texas independence language to the state’s Republican platform. And in Oklahoma, Republican state Sen. Joseph Silk in January introduced a bill to remove the word “inseparable” from the sentence in the state constitution describing Oklahoma as “an inseparable part of the Federal Union.”

The move for independence, whether it’s from the right of the political spectrum as in Texas, or the left as in California, reflects the political division felt across the country, said Edward Meisse, a supporter of the Yes California secession group that just disbanded. “We have two diametrically opposed philosophies in our country, and we’re just not getting anywhere,” he said. “I think we should allow states to secede so California can be California and Texas can be Texas.”

Yeah, right! Unfortunately, once the Gooferment gets power, it will never relinquish it voluntarily. People can NOT be held against their will. If an individual did it, then it’d be called “kidnapping”. But when the Gooferment does it, it’s call “jurisdiction”. Of course, once people start to refuse their cooperation to the Gooferment, it’ll collapse. It happened to the old Soviet Union; it’ll happen here too.

With all the out of control spending, unfunded and underfunded pensions, soaring “entitlement” costs, the collapse is inevitable. The only question is “who takes the ‘haircut’?”

Argh!

Secession is the only LOGICAL solution.
