NC Renegades

The fact that Texas announced that it withdrawing its gold from Manhattan and is creating a state gold depository generated a good deal of interest because there would also be a way to transfer gold to others via said depository. So much interest that Texas received calls from all over the United States from folks that wanted to be part of such a system. The articles covering the future Texas depository cumulatively received millions of views. What was missed in all of this coverage is that a functional, and legal depository that allows anyone in the country to pay and save in gold dollars already exists. In Utah.

The United Precious Metals Association in Utah has gold and now separate silver accounts that act as checking accounts do at any bank or credit union. The way it works is that members deposit Federal Reserve Notes (or paper dollars) into their UPMA account which in turn translates them into golden dollars (or silver). The golden dollars are based off the $50 one ounce gold coins produced by the Treasury of The United States. They are legal tender under the law and are protected as such. So if I were to deposit $1,200 FRNs then I would have $50 golden dollars.

UPMA is the only institution in the country that I know of that doesn’t have a buy/sell spread on their Golden Eagles or Silver Eagles. This means that all my $1,200 FRNs once converted to gold could be spent the next day without losing anything to any sort of premium. The price of a Gold Eagle is 5.8% above spot but when you ‘cash out’ you do so at 5.8% above gold spot. This effectively removes that barrier from sound money.

Language drafted by West & Jackson could gut regulatory authority of Wildlife Resources Commission

As you may recall, a dirty scheme to enrich a few wealthy landowners while risking destruction of North Carolina’s deer population through “Chronic Wasting Disease” (CWD) – and with it our hunting tradition – is being bankrolled by retired Food Lion CEO Tom E. Smith (now the largest deer farmer in the state) and foisted on you by Agriculture Commissioner STEVE TROXLER, Senator BRENT JACKSON (R-Duplin, Johnston, Sampson), and Representative ROGER WEST (R-Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Macon).

To give you a feel for the cronyism involved, Smith is a friend and big-dollar donor to Troxler, Jackson is a longtime buddy and frequent henchman for the commissioner, and West represents a district near the “canned” hunting preserve described below. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, on whose reservation the hunting preserve exists, is West’s top donor to the tune of $6,000.

Big bucks for big bucks

Under the scheme, the state would resume issuing permits for importation of captive deer – stopped in 2004 to prevent CWD from spreading to NC from the 23 states and 2 Canadian provinces where it is currently decimating deer herds – and transfer authority for the “captive cervid” program from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to Troxler.

Their motivation is big money: Hunters pay “canned” hunting preserves up to $14,000 or more to shoot trophy bucks with genetically engineered antlers, some of which are so grotesquely huge that animals can barely hold their heads erect. Although prohibited under NC law, one such canned hunting preserve exists on the Cherokee Indian Reservation.

The nation we have now is far removed from the nation our parents and grandparents knew. For those atheists out there, it is probably a better nation now than then, but for Christians, it is much worse. The best way I can explain my Christianity to those who don’t believe is that I am a better person for being a Christian. Argument concluded. Only those who knew me when I was not a believer can understand the importance and validity of that statement. I am a better person.

The daily assaults on our culture are a result of having lost the Christian emphasis in our society. Atheists always look at the worst in Christianity to make their arguments, not the best. They do not look at when our neighbors are in need it is always the Christians, the churches, that seek to come to their aid. They do not see that it is the state that prevents churches from offering more assistance to the homeless and the hungry. The state works against the Christian impulse toward charity, because it doesn’t want charity, it wants dependence and so passes laws against impromptu kitchens and overnight emergency shelters.

Everything the state runs it runs poorly and since it makes the laws, everything it does is de facto legal. This is why the police come along to shut down lemonade stands for not having applied for a permit, because children must be prevented from an impulse toward capitalism and they must not miss the message that no commerce is outside the scope of the government. The police are the muscle behind the clerks who issue permits.

The media is attacking Donald Trump for his previous efforts to prove Obama is not a legal US citizen. The media states that the matter is settled due to his birth certificate being released on whitehouse.gov. Anyone can download this document in Adobe acrobat and verify that it is fraudulent within seconds by the use of layers.

Why is everyone covering up this fact? And it is a fact once you look into it beyond a cursory inspection. If proven that Obama is not a legal citizen, then every piece of legislation that has been signed (including executive orders) during his “reign” becomes invalid. So why would the Republicans participate in this cover-up?

Is this important? The time spent in Egypt is not important to me. The issue is that the Bible’s translations are lacking. Another example is the supposed Biblical tenet to love your enemy that I previously wrote about. We may not have the time to learn Hebrew and Greek to read the original texts but we can at least question and seek the original intent of God’s Word to the best of our abilities.

Muslims consider “infidels” as having no rights. You must convert to Islam, pay Jizya or die.

While our leaders in Washington continue to praise this “peaceful” religion, the truth is suppressed. There is no more evident truth to how infidels are treated than the pandemic raping of women.
