If you are like me, you may have wondered why exactly does Glenn Beck want us to be surrounded? (For your sake, I hope this is last of our similarities.) I mean, we can laugh at their pitiful planning and clueless execution.. the Tea Party thing didn't work out so great? Let's do it again, with an inscrutable name, and a less clearly stated goal!
Regardless, there has to be a reason for this current level of activity, beyond a desperate attempt for control by right-wing nutcases who are starting to understand the duration of their self-imposed exile in the wilderness. Every out-of-control, futile gesture of anger and impotence will generally lead to someone making money. And yes, the We Surround Them movement is no exception.
Let me take you behind the green curtain that's behind the green curtain...
The first and only clue.. (for a conservative effort, one clue is one more than usual).. a website called SurroundMoney.com.
To impress you with statistics, and to show how ignorant the liberal opposition is, they start with Facts!
There are now more than 300 million Americans. The overwhelming lack of acknowledgement from our elected officials leads us to believe that our Patriotic thinking is old-fashioned and only mirrored by a few "right-wing nuts".
How dare those elected officials think there are fewer than 300 million Americans! They are teh stupid, times ten! And it looks like DailyKos is just as stupid, because we thought WE were the 'Them' being surrounded.. au contraire!
Who exactly is "Them"?
What is the answer to 99 out of 100 questions? Money.
In case you were curious, this is what makes Jeopardy such a boring game show, by the way. We're all just waiting for that 100th question that has an answer other than 'Money'.
In 1913, a small group of the world's most powerful men, in collusion with several corrupt government officials, imposed the Federal Reserve Act upon the American people. The FED was introduced under the guise of bringing stability to the economy. After nearly a hundred years of bank collapses and recessions, not to mention the Great Depression and the loss of 98% of the dollar's purchasing power, it's hard to believe that any operation could fail more completely.
Aha! That small group of the world's most powerful people (Congress, for short) and several corrupt government officials (strangely, all Republicans. Things never change.) imposed something on us! Fie! For shame! The Constitution doesn't say anything about having stuff imp.. oh wait, it does, sorry. Anyway, if you can't see that the Federal Reserve is entirely responsible for economic uncertainty, even that which preceded its creation, then you simply aren't understanding the basic time-altering evilness of the institution.
And Roosevelt! He was in on it too!
In 1933, Franklin D Roosevelt issued Executive Order No. 6102, declaring it illegal to "hoard" gold, thus requiring everyone to exchange required gold for Federal Reserve Notes, at a rate of $20 per ounce. Ironically, FDR then issued an Executive Order declaring an ounce of gold to be worth $35 per ounce, effectively stealing more than 40% of the people's money.
He may have been attempting to correct the economic faults that caused the Great Depression, but what an incredible loss.. he forced everyone to trade in their gold, and then increased the value of the gold they didn't have any more, which is stealing because.. hmm.. because.. ok, I'm not exactly sure how increasing the value of something you don't have is stealing, but these Republicans know money, so you have to trust them.
How do we escape this awful trap? Thanks to Glenn Beck, we now have an answer!
With the following 9 principles and 12 values, we can begin to build a bridge of rapport between Americans across the nation, as diverse and different as we may still be:
(cut and paste from Beck's stuff about always being honest, loving God assuming he's the right God and not one of the weird ones that have extra arms, hooves, or breasts, helping old ladies across the street, and protecting the unborn up until the point they come out of the closet, join the Democratic Party, or attempt to cross a national border without zee proper paperwerk!)
Silver & gold are a store of value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Money is made possible only by those who produce. Paper is not money, instead merely a promise to pay.
Quite some time ago, that promise was broken. And so now, in order to recover from this broken contract the only solution is a return to value: value that comes from production and honest trade.

Oh yeah, you know that worthless paper that has no intrinsic value, is the construction of a corrupt government conspiracy going back a century, debasing our entire culture and value system as Americans?
We need you to pay in that stuff, please. Thanks.
