Live in Indiana? Without currency, i.e., money, you can’t drink orange juice often. You’d have to go to FL & barter for it. Currency is interchangeable & represents values of labor & goods. What backs paper money, gold? (1) We haven’t used gold in decades. (2) Gold has 1/6

no magical or intrinsic quality. A person starving on a desert island cannot eat gold. (3) Ppl who can will buy the teeth out of your mouth. Alexander Hamilton, 1st Sec’y of the Treasury helped create the 1st National Bank to regulate the U.S. currency & our economy. 2/6

Mr Griffin probably will talk about the Fed at the Red Pill Expo, coming to Indy July 9 & 10. Mr G believes jet contrails are poison, HIV/AIDS didn’t occur, etc. The Expo has been said to be “purposefully designed to recruit people to white supremacist or ‘alt-right’ causes.” 4/6

2020: The Guardian sd the Expo forged ties betw armed militia groups, conspiracy theorists & anti-vaxxers. Mr G wants to bring down the Fed & thus bring down the Gov’t, the wet dream & ultimate goal of all these other groups. I’ll barter for orange juice & have a screwdriver. 5/6

Tues, 7 p.m., CDN: the Fed. This is Indiana. We don’t import ignorance & racism. Our Hoosier Hospitality is chock-full of both already. I’m Mark Small: pro-choice, anti-gun, pro-civil rts GOP nominee for Indiana House Distr 86. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 6/6
