DTOM BLOGGER!!
Oh my goodness, I am so excited!! So I was talking to Drew from Don’t Tread on Meme last night about the cost of custom dime cards, and I mentioned that ever since I had been to Libertopia, I had been wanting to start writing a blog dedicated to Anarchy, Liberty, etc. I pointed him in the direction of a post I had written here on Xanga, in which I had mentioned DTOM and other Agorists. SO. He made me a manager of the DTOM Facebook page, and also an admin on the DTOM website!! He said that blogging hasn’t been an area that they are strong in, so as long as I blog about agora and other related topics, I can write blog posts on the DTOM website and plug my business at the same time!! whaaaat!!!!
I love being a part of this community, there’s so many amazing people that I’ve met. Just wonderful.

For those that have no idea what Don’t Tread on Meme is, it’s an agorist company that advocates the use of alternative currency, in the form of silver…they make dime cards. Dime cards are laminated cards that put pre-1965 dimes in them. Dimes from 1964 and before are 90% silver, so a dime from 1963 is worth more than $.10. Today, according to the value of silver, a dime from 1963 is actually worth $2.34. As the value of the dollar deflates more and more as inflation rises, the value of these dimes and other coins made with mostly real metal, such as these dimes and real copper pennies, will rise. These real metal coins are pretty much priceless, considering what will happen when the dollar becomes useless. In case you didn’t know, dollars are debt currency, meaning you’re doing nothing but trading debt. Plus, dollars have no real value. It’s paper. And, it’s paper that is owned by the Federal Reserve. You don’t own your money. The Fed does, because it’s debt.
I don’t know everything about economics, and it’s kind of hard to understand, but I’ve been trying to learn. All I know is that there are several problems with our economy and how it works (or, doesn’t work). Ever since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, the value of the dollar has gone down 95%. And yet, economists would have you believe that printing $40B for QE3 is going to help ease the problems we are still seeing. The very root of the problem is the Federal Reserve printing more money when they don’t have the precious metal to back it up..and the printed money becomes meaningless, because it creates inflation, driving the value of the dollar down further. So that’s the fundamental issue…yet, they are printing more money to “take care” of the economy.
Even Henry Ford said: “It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”
I really think people should be more pissed off about the situation. I mean, it’s peoples’ LIVELIHOOD we’re talking about. This is the reason that more and more of the middle class is falling into poverty, and struggling. It’s a failing economic system. This is why I support DTOM and what they’re trying to accomplish by spreading the word, and I’m happy to become a part of it.

I don’t think it’s as bad as you claim, that the dollar is utterly worthless. I mean surely we are printing money… but… I’m sure there is a good reason to all the printing, who would want to devalue our dollar for no reason?
That’s Awesome! I hope you can add a little more life to DOTM’s facebook page because it could be more active.
@RulerofMasons - Oh, they have a very good reason for making the dollar useless: they have control of the gold and silver supply. How many people have real gold and silver that will be of value as the dollar declines more and more? It all comes in the form jewelry, pretty much. Most people don’t have much, if any, jewelry that has value. The banks that own the Fed (ie, the Rothchilds) will be even richer than they are now with paper money.
@FreemarketKev - I hope so! I will certainly try!!
I can’t believe that politicians today STILL can trick themselves into believing that printing more money will fix our financial problem. Look at Germany in the 1920s, Brazil in the 60s-1994, Zimbabwe, Hungary twice, Serbia… the list goes on and on. Sure, those are hyperinflation, but lessons can still be learned. I think all politicians need courses in Micro- and Macroeconomics.
Anyway… haha…
Congratulations on becoming an Admin for that page! You’ll be awesome
The penny is made of copper worth more than its face value, so if you want to keep your savings in your mattress, pennies are the best, though a very lumpy, choice.
I just watched “Agora” last week. Hypatia was an amazing lady.
