Texas Bill Would Create State-Issued Gold-Backed Digital Currency
by Tyler Durden
Friday, Apr 07, 2023 - 06:25 AM
Authored by Michael Maharrey via SchiffGold.com,
Bills introduced in the Texas House and Senate would create a state-issued, gold-backed digital currency.
Sen. Bryan Hughes (R) introduced Senate Bill 2334 (SB2334) on March 10. Rep. Mark Dorazio (R) introduced a companion, House Bill 4903 (HB4903) on the same day. The legislation would require the state comptroller to establish a digital currency that is fully backed by gold and fully redeemable in cash or gold as well. The comptroller would also be required to create a mechanism to use this gold-backed digital currency in everyday transactions.
“In establishing the digital currency the comptroller shall establish a means to ensure that a person who holds the digital currency may readily transfer or assign the digital currency to any other person by electronic means.”
The state of Texas would hold gold backing the currency in trust on behalf of the digital currency holders.
“The trustee shall maintain enough gold to provide for the redemption in gold of all units of the digital currency that have been issued and are not yet redeemed for money or gold.”
In practice, individuals would be able to purchase digital currency from the state. The state would then use the money to purchase gold that would be held in the Texas Bullion Depository or another secure vault. Individuals would be able to redeem their digital currency for dollars or gold.
CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCIES (CBDC)
A gold-backed digital currency would create an alternative and allow individuals and businesses to avoid a CBDC.
Digital currencies exist as virtual banknotes or coins held in a digital wallet on your computer or smartphone. The difference between a central bank (government) digital currency and peer-to-peer electronic cash such as bitcoin is that the value of the CBDC is backed and controlled by the government, just like traditional fiat currency.
At the root of the move toward a CBDC is “the war on cash.” The elimination of cash creates the potential for the government to track and even control consumer spending.
Nigeria is already trying to get people to accept its CBDC (with a great deal of resistance), and China, India, and the US have all launched pilot programs to test CBDCs.
Imagine if there was no cash. It would be impossible to hide even the smallest transaction from the government’s eyes. Something as simple as your morning trip to Starbucks wouldn’t be a secret from government officials. As Bloomberg put it in an article published when China launched a digital yuan pilot program in 2020, digital currency “offers China’s authorities a degree of control never possible with physical money.”
The government could even “turn off” an individual’s ability to make purchases. Economist Thorsten Polleit outlined the potential for Big Brother-like government control with the advent of a digital euro in an article published by the Mises Wire. As he put it, “the path to becoming a surveillance state regime will accelerate considerably” if and when a digital currency is issued.
A gold-backed digital currency would create an alternative to CBDCs.
IMPACT
The creation of a state-issued gold-backed digital currency would create currency competition with Federal Reserve notes and undermine the Fed’s monopoly on money. It would also provide an alternative if the Federal Reserve implements a central bank digital currency.
Broadly speaking, by making gold conveniently available for regular, daily transactions by the general public, gold-backed digital currency would create the potential for a wide-reaching effect. Professor William Greene, an expert on constitutional tender, said in a paper for the Mises Institute that when people in multiple states actually start using gold instead of Federal Reserve notes, it would effectively nullify the Federal Reserve and end the federal government’s monopoly on money.
“Over time, as residents of the state use both Federal Reserve notes and silver and gold coins, the fact that the coins hold their value more than Federal Reserve notes do will lead to a ‘reverse Gresham’s Law’ effect, where good money (gold and silver coins) will drive out bad money (Federal Reserve notes).
“As this happens, a cascade of events can begin to occur, including the flow of real wealth toward the state’s treasury, an influx of banking business from outside of the state – as people in other states carry out their desire to bank with sound money – and an eventual outcry against the use of Federal Reserve notes for any transactions.”
Gresham’s Law holds that “bad money drives out good.” For example, when the U.S. government replaced silver quarters and dimes with coins made primarily of less valuable copper, the cheap coins drove the silver out of circulation. People hoarded the more valuable silver coins and spent the less valuable copper money. So, how do you reverse Gresham?
The key is in making it easier to use gold in everyday transactions. The reason bad money drives out good is that governments put up barriers to using sound money in day-to-day life. That makes it more costly to spend gold and incentivizes hoarding. When you remove barriers, you level the playing field and allow gold and silver to compete head-to-head with Federal Reserve notes. On an even playing field, gold beats fiat money every time.
BACKGROUND
The United States Constitution states in Article I, Section 10, “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” Currently, all debts and taxes in Kansas are either paid with Federal Reserve Notes (dollars) which were authorized as legal tender by Congress, or with coins issued by the U.S. Treasury — very few of which have gold or silver in them.
The Federal Reserve destroys this constitutional monetary system by creating a monopoly based on its fiat currency. Without the backing of gold or silver, the central bank can easily create money out of thin air. This not only devalues your purchasing power over time; it also allows the federal government to borrow and spend far beyond what would be possible in a sound money system. Without the Fed, the U.S. government wouldn’t be able to maintain all of its unconstitutional wars and programs. The Federal Reserve is the engine that drives the most powerful government in the history of the world.
Creating a gold-backed digital currency would take another step in the process of abolishing the Federal Reserve system by attacking it from the bottom up – pulling the rug out from under it by working to make its functions irrelevant at the state and local levels, and setting the stage to undermine the Federal Reserve monopoly by introducing competition into the monetary system.
WHAT’S NEXT
At the time of this report, SB2334 and HB4903 had not been assigned to committees. Once they get committee assignments, they must get a hearing and pass by a majority vote before moving forward in the legislative process.

The World's Megaprojects
by Tyler Durden
Friday, Apr 07, 2023 - 01:45 AM
Megaprojects have been growing larger globally and many of them have recently centered on the Arab Gulf Region.
As Statista's Katharina Buchholz reports, construction software company 1Build estimates that before the end of the decade, the world will see the first construction megaproject with a cost estimation exceeding $1 trillion.
Right now, there are several projects underway that exceed the size of $100 billion - despite the fact that $10 billion construction proposals were considered to be megaproject just some years ago.
Infographic: The World's Megaprojects | Statista
You will find more infographics at Statista
Out of all nine ongoing megaprojects identified by 1Build, International Construction Magazine and Construction Review to cost $100 billion or more, four were being built in Arab Gulf States.
This includes the ambitious project of Neom City, actually a collection of futuristic towns and cities which are being built in Northwestern Saudi Arabia and are expected to house 450,000 people by 2026.
One of the developments, The Line, has received the most attention for being planned as a completely enclosed city 170 km in length, 200 meters in width and 500 meters in height.
More expensive than Neom City is the EU's Trans-European Transport Network. The large-scale infrastructure upgrade estimated to cost $600 billion includes the building of railway lines, roads, shipping routes and related structures in EU member countries to improve long-distance transport.
Projects on the peninsular have also suffered a setback, as the $250 billion, 2,000 km project to connecting GCC member countries by rail - initially to be completed by 2018 - was halted. However, the project could resume soon. Other megaprojects in the region include entertainment and tourism complex Dubailand, King Abdullah Economic City North of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and Silk City in Northern Kuwait, which will be home to the world's future tallest building.

Here's How To Push Back Against The Billionaire-Funded Anti-Gun Lobby
by Tyler Durden
Thursday, Apr 06, 2023 - 10:00 PM
Submitted by Gun Owners of America,
It is fascinating to see how manipulation tactics are used by the anti-gun lobby to trick the average American into thinking that there is some large grassroots movement to push gun control.
If you spoke to someone with anti-gun views, you'd probably hear stories about the boogeyman of the firearms industry and how that industry funnels millions upon millions of dollars from firearms corporations into politicians' pockets to push for less restrictions on firearms.
This simpleminded explanation couldn't be further from the truth. Major anti-gun organizations are funded by a small group of billionaire donors. Just take the group "March for Our Lives," for example.
Founded during the aftermath of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, March for Our Lives bills itself as a grassroots movement of young people working to restrict the average citizen's Second Amendment Rights. In reality, they're funded by about 36 wealthy donors.
According to March for Our Lives' tax documents, the group is funded almost entirely by large donations in excess of $100,000. According to that same report, only 0.5% of donations came from people giving less than $5,000.
Meanwhile, groups like Gun Owners of America rely entirely on small donations from regular individuals to operate. But until recently, those donations came directly from those interested in becoming members of GOA.
Earlier this month, GOA announced a partnership with Gearfire. For those not in the know, Gearfire is one of the largest point-of-sale system providers for gun ranges, gun shops, and firearms training facilities around the country.
The partnership allows patrons of firearms businesses to round up their purchases and donate the funds to GOA's Second Amendment Preservation Fund.
Kailey Nieman, GOA's Director of Development, issued the following statement:
"Gun stores and ranges are the lifeblood of the Second Amendment. We are thrilled to be working with Gearfire and retailers across the country. We have never compromised on the Second Amendment, and it is partnerships like these that not only help fuel that mission but strengthen our efforts."

Dr. Peter McCullough – “This Spike Protein is a Killer”
by Promoted Post Apr. 6, 2023 3:35 pm
Dr. Peter McCullough was one of the most outspoken and bravest leaders during the pandemic – today he is continuing his work to keep Americans healthy and safe in this new post-pandemic era of spike protein.
Dr. McCullough wasn’t afraid to stand up to big pharma, big tech and big government during the pandemic, and he is showing that same courage today.
“This spike protein is a killer, and it rips through the hearts of men and women,” said Dr. McCullough in a new video where he calls the response of the FDA and the CDC to the dangers of spike protein as “criminal.”
The good news is that, despite censorship by the mainstream medical community, solutions exist to deal with this deadly spike protein. Dr. Peter McCullough notes the following potential remedies:
Prescription Ivermectin
Prescription Low-Dose Naltrexone
Over-the-counter Nattokinase
In particular, nattokinase shows great promise.
From Dr. McCullough:
I have found nattokinase, the Japanese product derived from natto (a traditional Japanese food made from whole soybeans that have been fermented with Bacillus subtilis var. natto.) to be the most compelling and scientifically supported approach to clear Spike protein out of the body via proteolytic degradation.
Not only is nattokinase over-the counter, Dr. Peter McCullough and his team at The Wellness Company designed an optimized Nattokinase-based supplement, Spike Support, to give people everywhere access to this critical ingredient (plus, ordering through this link and the links below benefits Gateway Pundit).
In addition to Nattokinase, which aids with circulation and dissolves spike proteins, Spike Support also includes:
Dandelion for a detoxifying agent and prevent spike protein cellular binding
Black sativa to possibly facilitate cellular repair
Green tea for added defenses at the cellular level through scavenging for free radicals
Irish sea moss to help rebuild damaged tissue and muscle

Lawsuit Against SPLC’s “Hate Group” Designation Succeeds Where Others Have Failed – Is Now Proceeding To Discovery Phase
by ProTrumpNews Staff Apr. 6, 2023 10:30 am
The Southern Poverty Law Center uses its hate map to put conservatives in the same category as extremist groups like the Ku Klux Klan.
In some cases, people are fired and de-platformed for the label given by SPLC — which they essentially acknowledge is a matter of opinion. In some cases, violent assaults appear to have been triggered by these designations.
Until now, attempts to hold the SPLC accountable for alleged defamation have failed – one lawsuit is on track to change that.

WATCH: Spontaneous Mass Twerking Event Erupts on Miami Beach
by TDB
Thursday, Apr 06, 2023 - 10:32
By Ben Bartee Republished by The Daily Bell
Continuing in our This Is America series, in which we analyze the perplexing and, arguably, alarming state of American youth pop culture, particularly of the urban variety, I present to you a mass twerking event (MTE) that erupted in the Miami area during Spring Break.
Three young women begin the festivities by shaking their posteriors in front of a city bus for unclear reasons. Perhaps sniffing out the pheromones in the air, they are then joined by scores of other young ladies.
It appears to be a modern twist on some form of primal mating ritual.
A fight breaks out, which briefly interrupts the footage, and then we return once more to the twerking crowd, this time much larger, consisting of literally dozens, perhaps hundreds, of young women gyrating on the streets.
It’s enough to drive an anthropologist wild.

"Trump Can't Get A Fair Trial In NYC" - Dershowitz Warns "He'll Probably Be Convicted"
“There is no part of the case that is not weak,” Alan Dershowitz, an attorney who taught law at Harvard Law School for nearly 50 years and was part of Trump’s impeachment defense team in 2019, told The Epoch Times in an interview on Wednesday.
“Never in the history of America has anybody ever been prosecuted for not disclosing the reason they gave for paying hush money,” he added
“So the entire indictment is based on a deep fallacy. There’s nothing strong about it. You can’t create strength with multiple weaknesses.
“There are 34 bad counts, and 34 bad counts do not create a single good count.”

Lamborghini's First Plug-In Supercar Will Replace Aventador
by Tyler Durden
Thursday, Apr 06, 2023 - 11:48 AM
The latest addition to the Lamborghini lineup is the "Revuelto," which replaces the Aventador. This marks the first time Lamborghini has developed a supercar with plug-in hybrid technology.
However, Revuelto (pronounced rey-WEL-to) isn't your average hybrid car.
With a 6.5-liter V12 naturally aspirated petrol engine, two electric motors on the front axle, and a single motor mounted to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, the hybrid supercar produces a monstrous 1,000 horsepower.
