By tracing our modern money system all the way back to the man-made god of ancient Babylonia, this book unfolds many of the misconceptions we have about about money and the role government plays. With her Constitutional promise of a true, "democratic" money, America at her birth offered real hope to the world that mankind could at last break free of the heavy yoke of "false" money and its worship of mammon. Yet, with the exception of one brief twenty month period, America has never fulfilled that promise. Instead, and through a long series of behind-the-scenes manipulations and legal maneuvers, a "new legal regime" was established by the invisible government of the money powers, taking America from a Constitutional Republic to the brink of an unconstitutional dictatorship. America truly stands on the precipice of her demise. But there is an honorable way out when we look for, and clearly see, the true and constitutionally mandated face of money.

What every citizen needs to know about money,

This review is from: The Two Faces of Money (Paperback)
At last, a book that explains money and our monetary system in a way
that anyone can understand! Written in clear and amazingly compelling language, this book quickly becomes a page-turner that lures the reader into breezing through the text so he can "find out what happens next." Be forewarned however. The subject and sub-themes tackled in this book are as complex as they are crucial to the lives of everyday Americans not to mention the entire planet. As Francis Bacon once famously said, "Some books are meant to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested." This is truly a book to be chewed and digested, "to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention." After which effort - it is hoped by the authors - you will be inspired to take its message to your friends, neighbors, relatives and elected officials. It should help you as a reader to heed the quotes at the beginning of each major Part of the book. These quotes are the themes that dominate each of the Parts. So in Part I, which carries the sub-title "Reflections on Our Evolving Constitution, The Law, and the Federal Reserve System", the theme is that "the intent of the lawmaker is in the language that he has used." (Keep in mind that this idea also applies in situations where the law is written in incomprehensible, overly voluminous language). Part I begins with a discussion of some common misconceptions about the Constitution and moves to the manner in which the Reconstruction Amendments, the Uniform Commercial Code, the Federal Register, the Emergency Banking Act along with many of the "New Deal" initiatives in particular have served to move us from a "Constitutional Republic" to an "Unconstitutional Dictatorship." This leads the reader into a better understanding of how Congress, over many decades, has gradually relinquished its Constitutional authority, and what the impact of that relinquishment has been on us as sovereign citizens endowed by the Declaration of Independence with unalienable rights. Key among Congress's Constitutional obligations was the power to coin (as in create) money and regulate the value thereof. Wrapping up the theme of Part I that "the intent of the lawmaker is in the language that he has used" is the revelation that NO where does the Constitution say that gold is the only constitutional money, despite popular opinion to the contrary. Rather the Constitution allows the individual states to use gold - or any other money the Congress creates as money. Part II carries the subtitle "Money Owed and Owned: The Neglected Story of Money Creation." The theme for Part II is: "The strangest thing about the human mind is that it will not make an investigation into an accepted thing." Part II begins with a preface that sketches out the story of money in America up until 1896 when William Jennings Bryan delivered his famous "Cross of Gold" speech and thus captured the Democratic nomination on the sole issue of money creation. With this important introduction, Part II goes into a discussion about money creation in America, including some information on the little known, poorly understood successes of colonial scrip. Included in this section is a good description of the manner in which "New Liberty", a country which has chosen to create its money along U.S. Constitutional lines and applying the "Principles of Monetary Science, can operate. Part III carries the subtitle "Brief History of Owed Money: Our Man-made God of Ancient Babylonia". The theme is "There is no new thing under the sun" from Eccl. 1:9. Part III gives a history of money and wealth creation, beginning with the advent of agriculture some 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. It detailed how the "worship of mammon" or false money (which is, in reality worship of gold and other precious metals as well as the credit serving as money that we have now) has led us into war and corruption of almost unfathomable dimension, and brought us to the brink of a military state. Part IV contains the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. This is the only section with no forward "theme". However, the excellent Epilogue which wraps up the whole book, ends with what might be considered the theme, which is: "ALL Laws repugnant to the Constitution are null and void" from Marbury v Madison, 1803. A close reading of this book would suggest that not only is it imperative to dissolve the Federal Reserve System and install a Constitutional money creation system, but that we must also dissolve the entire "power structure that surrounds the Federal Reserve" as Trafficant so famously put it. IN short we've got a big job ahead of us, but it is one that has for too long gone neglected. Reading this book gives us some good and much needed insight as to what needs to be done, and how we might go abut doing it through "honest money groups" in our own neighborhoods and towns.
