One Target of the Failed State: Gold

President Roosevelt, 1933:

''By virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 5(B) of The Act of Oct. 6, 1917, as amended by section 2 of the Act of March 9, 1933, in which Congress declared that a serious emergency exists, I as President, do declare that the national emergency still exists; That the continued private hoarding of gold and silver by subjects of the United States poses a grave threat to the peace, equal justice, and well-being of the United States; and that appropriate measures must be taken immediately to protect the interests of our people. ''Therefore, pursuant to the above authority, I hereby proclaim that such gold and silver holdings are prohibited,.....

“If it gets bad enough, they’ll declare a national economic emergency. 

They’ll take over the banks, all business and industry. They may even try to confiscate our gold. I served on the Gold Commission for eight or nine months while I was in Congress along with fifteen other members. 

I brought up the subject of confiscation. The power to confiscate gold is still on the books as the law of the land. I urged the full Commission to recommend Congress repeal the power to confiscate gold in an economic emergency. We pushed it to a vote and I was the only one that voted to recommend to Congress that we never again contemplate taking the gold of the American people. The fifteen other mem- bers voted it down. 

The power is still there on the books, and they can do it any time they wish.’’

 Background on Gold and Confiscation (its a sales pitch)

This current gang running our turf would decide, as did Roosevelt, that owning gold is a grave threat to peace and "equal justice"....   Equal justice, sound familiar?
