It's one of those "The Secret" things, isn't it? Like how they say your dreams can become reality if you believe hard enough. Well, if you believe your state-owned purestrain gold is going to be stolen by the federal reserve then maybe the reality will be that they get taken under forfeiture or asset freeze laws when your state gang launches an attack on an American military exercise.

Nixon was probably one of the most psychologically flawed people to have ever held the presidency so of course Kristol puts him on a pedestal.

If you have a ton of money then replacing the American citizen with the American consumer only makes you even more powerful. You can argue that our political is already controlled by these people, but it does still exist in some form or another. If you successfully dismantle the nation-state and replace it with a system where personal and 'political' relationships are 100% about money then your power is only limited by the size of your wallet.

This is almost the literal definition of Feudalism

Or a movie about the siege of the gold facility with a heavy Alamo vibe.


edit:

Of course, it is UT's gold. That makes sense:


I think this is supposed to create the pathway to paying your taxes in gold, which is as a regressive concept as imaginable. I don't think that's what people mean by WWJD.

So the governor's press release is about "repatriating" gold held by the Federal Reserve but the Star Telegram article says that it's UT's gold being held by HSBC because Texas doesn't have a facility capable of storing it.

Essentially, the bill is doing nothing controversial or in defiance of the federal government, but the Republicans are lying in order to manufacture a victory for the lunatics who are running the state.
