I think people need to get a mind their fucking own and stop listening to the politicians and the media. That'd be a monumental start.Do you think peace in the face of violence is the best approach to take?

Depends on the situation really. Right now, yes. Public opinion needs to be won. Riots don't win public opinion. If you've got public opinion on your side and even though the majority agrees with you and still government refuses reform and the cops are using violence, then depending on the specifics, violence may become necessary. Violence was necessary in Egypt, Libya, etc, but not here, not yet. They have a population that overwhelmingly agreed with them. Occupy does not. Right now it's a PR game. The more cops are shown on the news beating up people for peacefully protesting, the more support occupy gets. That's the game right now.Do you think peace in the face of violence is the best approach to take?
Always. Violence in any way will always be used against the oppressed.Do you think peace in the face of violence is the best approach to take?

Kennedy had the answer to your question pretty well figured out....I have asked countless people the following question, nobody has an answer yet.
How are we going to eliminate the Federal Reserve banking system without being thrown back into the stone age economically?. We cannot go back onto the gold standard b/c we never owned the gold to begin with. For this movement to work, there has to be currency of value to the world economy. And the folks showing up in city parks sure don't have it. The system was designed to break us, so eventually the masses will be broke. This movement is premature imho, things are going to have to get worse in OUR country to gain the upper-middle class support needed. Otherwise, our growing skills will come in very handy b/c we'll be needing to grow our own food and such.
Good question! The answer is simple, actually.I have asked countless people the following question, nobody has an answer yet.

Talking about the silver backed notes?
Isn't silver more rare than gold? How much is one of Kennedy's notes worth? I'd imagine they're free from inflation... being on the silver standard and all. I think there ought to be some $5 and $2 notes still floating around somewhere... Just wondering, what is silver backed by?
It isn't as simple as you would think. US notes(or Greenbacks as they were called originally)were backed by import taxation during the Civil war. That type of global economy hasn't existed in decades. Money always has to be backed by something of international value, back then the union government was collecting custom fees via gold payment. This movement needs the people who make six figures but are not set for life. And that isn't going to happen until the government fucks up for a few more years. Then those people will realize that their children and grandchildren aren't getting that nice inheritance they should be. And then the $$ will be available to create an alternative banking system. Meanwhile, I voted yes on the support b/c the only way to beat $$ when you don't have any is by numbers.Good question! The answer is simple, actually.
We could just use United States Notes instead of Federal Reserve Notes!!
United States Notes vs. Federal Reserve Notes
Both United States Notes and Federal Reserve Notes are parts of the national currency of the United States, and both have been legal tender since the gold recall of 1933. Both have been used in circulation as money in the same way. However, the issuing authority for them came from different statutes.[24] United States Notes were created as fiat currency, in that the government has never categorically guaranteed to redeem them for precious metal - even though at times, such as after the specie resumption of 1879, federal officials were authorized to do so if requested. The difference between a United States Note and a Federal Reserve Note is that a United States Note represented a "bill of credit" and was inserted by the Treasury directly into circulation free of interest. Federal Reserve Notes are backed by debt purchased by the Federal Reserve, and thus generate seigniorage, or interest, for the Federal Reserve System, which serves as a lending intermediary between the Treasury and the public.

Couldn't you say the same about the dollar?It backs itself.

"Legal tender status guaranteed that creditors would have to accept the notes despite the fact that they were not backed by gold, bank deposits, or government reserves, and bore no interest. However, the First Legal Tender Act did not make the notes an unlimited legal tender as they could not be used by merchants to pay customs duties on imports and could not be used by the government to pay interest on its bonds. The Act did provide that the notes be receivable by the government for short term deposits at 5% interest, and for the purchase of 6% interest 20-year bonds at par. The rationale for these terms was that the Union government would preserve its credit-worthiness by supporting the value of its bonds by paying their interest in gold. Early in the war, customs duties were a large part of government tax revenue and by making these payable in gold, the government would generate the coin necessary to make the interest payments on the bonds. Lastly, by making the bonds available for purchase at par in United States Notes, the value of the latter would be supported as well".

Keep up the good work all, but keep it safe as well!
Only a real one-Couldn't you say the same about the dollar?

Do some research on the United States Notes he issued
