The Sound Money Act continues to gain traction in States throughout the US, with the first of many hearings in the New Hampshire legislature taking place yesterday.
According to Citizens For Sound Money, the Act covers:
Legal Tender Recognition by championing gold and silver as recognized legal tender, we are paving the way for a stable and reliable monetary system.
State Depositories, advocating for establishing state depositories, ensuring that precious metals are securely held and managed within each state, reinforcing the financial autonomy and security of our monetary system.
Digital Currency Advancement in an era where digital transactions define commerce, we promote Asset Backed Digital Currencies (ABDCs) grounded in tangible assets like gold and silver, combining the timeless value of precious metals with the efficiency of modern technology.
"My entire professional career, in finance, has been focused on helping people protect their wealth and increasing their financial literacy and that is why I'm here today," said Citizens For Sound Money Executive Director Daniel Diaz during his opening statement.

A big welcome to our newest sponsor, Dr. Killigan’s Pest Control!
Got issues with critters? Sick of using things that can easily make you sick or kill you?
Dr. Killigan’s is THE all-natural solution. Check out what a customer had to say about their “Six Feet Under” non-toxic insect spray:
“I bought this to get rid of the ants that built a nest in my flagstone patio and sidewalk. I have granddaughters and pets, and I didn't want to use chemicals that could make them sick if they were exposed. I've used other natural pesticides in the past with mild success but this stuff definitely does the trick! I've only had to spray one time over a month ago...still no sign of the ants returning. 10/10, will be purchasing more.”

“False or wrong information poses the biggest danger to the world in the next two years amid a confluence of elections and economic drudgery, according to a survey by the World Economic Forum.
Hours after a fake post on the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s X account fueled a brief surge in Bitcoin, the Geneva-based organization that will next week host the global elite in the Swiss Alpine resort of Davos highlighted how worries about the potential manipulation of voters are mounting.
The annual poll conducted by the forum among more than 1,400 risk experts, policymakers and industry leaders put “misinformation and disinformation” at the top of threats facing the global economy in the short term. Concerns about the health of the planet dominate the outlook for the coming decade, a trend already seen in previous surveys.
The report confronts how economies squeezed by high borrowing costs after a once-in-a-generation inflation shock just as major elections take place could present a toxic backdrop for the world in coming months.
‘When these two things come together — the economic hardship being faced by many people and the rise of synthetic content combined with going into an election year where people get to make decisions about who is going to be leading them — that together can be a very potent mix,’ Saadia Zahidi, WEF managing director, told Bloomberg Television’s Francine Lacqua on Wednesday.
THINGS TO PONDER:
When it comes to the people who want to control your life, the rule is to watch what they say AND what they do…
If you do, you’ll often see that they will tell you how they will try to control you next.
Coming in 2024, the fine folks at the World Economic Forum want to control what’s true and what’s not…
Which is right out of the movie 1984…
Just so you have it handy, here’s their list for the next two years and the next 10 years:

“Some companies processing returned televisions for retailers have gotten a surprise when opening the boxes—packaging filled with bricks rather than newly purchased TVs.
Others examining returned purchases of purported luxury goods are instead finding counterfeits sent in by customers looking for refunds on full-price, deluxe merchandise.
The tactics are part of what logistics experts say is a growing problem for retailers as the overall rate of returns surges. More of those goods are coming back as fraudulent returns, retailers say, including merchandise that has been outright stolen or sent back using fake receipts.
The National Retail Federation estimates more than $100 billion in merchandise was returned fraudulently in the U.S. in 2023. That amounted to about 13.7% of the overall returned goods retailers received last year, more than twice the level of bogus returns in 2020, according to a report from the NRF, which noted its methodology changed in 2023 to include customer returns data from software provider Appriss Retail.
Shoppers this year are expected to return about 15% of merchandise purchased during the holiday season, valued at $148 billion, according to the NRF. Retailers anticipate nearly 17% of those returns will be fraudulent.
Fraudsters are looking to capitalize on policies such as free online returns that retailers rolled out over the past four years with the goal of attracting customers amid a pandemic-driven surge in e-commerce.
THINGS TO PONDER:
We’re back to our favorite question: If the economy is so good, why is theft happening in mass?
And, why are people making the effort to return boxes of bricks to try and get a refund?
Here’s why: Things ain’t good.
But there’s more…
The moral compass of the US is WAY off… and that comes from leadership…
Just take a look at the news on all of the potential ways we are headed for World War 3, and then ask yourself if everything is OK.
You’re going to have to get involved in the process of leading… and before you say “I’m just an average Joe!” Understand that “average Joe” also won our independence.
Get ready.
