Darrell Castle: END THE FED

[William Tell]

Yeah, I just need to gather all the information.

There was a lot of info in his CSPAN interview:

I will try to copy it down some time if no one else does it before me. First priority is the candidate evaluation thread for him.

Lindbergh, Charles A. – When the President signs this bill, the invisible government of Monetary Power will be legalized. - 1913, referring to the Federal Reserve Act.

He said that when he was eleven years old? And someone wrote it down, even though he wouldn't become famous for another fourteen years?

His dad was a congressman by the same name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_August_Lindbergh

Time to switch parties again. The only matter that matters. This should be the whole platform. Nothing will benefit the people more.

Mr. Charles A Lindbergh the congressman was 54 years old in 1913. He was a famous opponent of the Federal Reserve.
You are confusing your Lindberghs. Charles A. Lindbergh was a congressman from 1907-1917. He was born in 1859. You are confusing him with his son the aviator that was born in 1902.

You can read more from his book The Economic Pinch, published 1923. https://www.amazon.com/Economic-Pin...dp/125820598X?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

And some more quotes from the good Congressman:

“The new law [Federal Reserve Act] will create inflation whenever the trusts want inflation. It may not do so immediately, but the trusts want a period of inflation, because all the stocks they hold have gone down... Now, if the trusts can get another period of inflation, they figure they can unload the stocks on the people at high prices during the excitement and then bring on a panic and but them back at low prices.…The people may not know it immediately, but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed.” (Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Congressional Record, Vol. 51, p. 1446. December 22, 1913.)

castle bloviates: 'End the Fed right now; that’s my position. Return to sound non-debt money with a gold backed dollar.'




...admittedly, castle is FAR from the worst...but he and his apparent monetary ignoramus cheerleaders need to get it through their thick skulls that THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A 'SOUND NON-DEBT MONEY WITH A GOLD BACKED DOLLAR' TO 'RETURN TO'...

...steve zarlenga, the world's foremost monetary historian (if you know of a better one, name the name) has pointed this out repeatedly...

...unfortunately, the ludwiggers are stuck in an echo chamber of monetary ignorance and fanta$y...including castle...

...but that said, his stances on some issues are surprisingly thoughtful...castle beats the hell out of the bible-thumping goddamned fools of the howard phillips era!...
