I will provide you with one of my own writings to warn you about how Ron Paul will be stealing from you too if your gold as legal tender increased in value (deflation). You would need more gold than your home or other assets are worth to come out ahead in the great redistribution of wealth and socialism for the rich that Ron Paul promotes if such a move doesn't bankrupt you from the taxes and deflation such a system would require.

[Feeding the Abscess]

“There’s nothing to fear from globalism, free trade and a single worldwide currency….

True.

The effort in recent decades to unify government surveillance over all world trade and international financial transactions through the UN, IMF, World Bank, WTO, ICC, the OECD, and the Bank of International Settlements

He's railing against government, and also true by the way. Do you dispute any of this?

can never substitute for a peaceful world based on true free trade, freedom of movement, a single but sound market currency, and voluntary contracts with private property rights….

Absolutely true. Do you deny that people should choose their own currency? Or do you want government to claim the power to declare what money is?

The ultimate solution will only come with the rejection of fiat money worldwide, and a restoration of commodity money.

So he rejects the government declaring what money should be. Onus is on you to proves that he doesn't. By the way, you can't yell about Ron Paul wanting government to impose a money standard when he clearly says he doesn't want government declaring a money standard.

Commodity money if voluntarily and universally accepted could give us a single world currency requiring no money managers, no manipulators orchestrating a man-made business cycle with rampant price inflation.” — Ron Paul, Congressional Record, March 13, 2001

There's that voluntary again, which means that government cannot be involved in the matter.

All of your assertions are based on your lack of understanding of what "voluntary," "fiat," and "market" mean.

I've seen this theory about Ron Paul being controlled opposition before, and about the Austrian school of economics being funded by Rockefeller, and the gold standard being therefore what the ruling class wants. The thing I notice though, is that a lot of these sites promoting this information seem to always leave out key bits of information, mixing the truth with lies of omission. Things such as currency competition, the definition of natural money, etc. Which leads me to believe they either don't have a strong foundation in economics, or they have some other agenda, or possibly even just want website hits-- possibly all of the above.

I don't think the "cool guys" in the media are promoting Ron Paul to make him seem more anti establishment. They could just as easily be using references to Ron Paul to appear "cool" and appeal to the "youth culture" in the first place-- but they are never really there when it counts either, and their support is minimum. But of course, you can keep going back and forth with these "what if scenarios" once you get started.

Lies by ommission? I've talked about free market currencies. I've talked about how such a usury-free greenback system would work and how it would end national debt and income taxation. We have a bill in Congress.

I think Ron Paul has a lot of lies by ommission because he doesn't explain his bilderberg peter thiel and lewis lehrman libertopia fantasy and delusion to protect the current system and promote austerity for the poor and welfare for the rich.

All that is required is to read Ron Paul's books. They are easy to read. He tells exactly where he stands on virtually every issue. It is really quite simple.

I meant lies of omission regarding details about what Ron Paul's full positions are. If someone wants to make a counter argument for some of the things Paul advocates for, that's fine, but they should at least take his positions in context and fully illustrate the position he is actually advocating.
