News Date: August 17, 2022

On 15 August 1971, US President Richard Nixon officially announced that the country was completely abandoning the gold standard.
This meant that the US government abandoned the convertibility of US dollars into gold at a fixed rate of $35 per ounce.
The government simply could not meet the demand to exchange dollars received for goods and services for gold.
The jubilee in its original, biblical meaning when once in 50 years the sold and mortgaged lands were returned to their original owners, slaves and prisoners of war were freed, debts were forgiven, and the land rested from fieldwork.
Why not, 2022 may be the year for the return of the gold standard.

Fed to print 9.5 trillion and buy all the gold in the world

To test the value of the printed money, I suggest that the Fed prints $9.5 trillion and buys all the gold in the world, including jewelry, of 170,000 tonnes at the current price of $55.6 million per tonne. If they don't understand what will happen, I can tell them. They would have real problems getting hold of 1 tone of physical gold at that price. By the time they buy the second tonne, the market will value the dollar at its intrinsic value of ZERO, and gold measured in worthless dollars will go to infinity.

Judy Shelton's Vision for a Gold-Backed Treasury Bond

May 9, 2025: FoxBusiness introduces the "dollar reset" idea promoted by monetary economist and former Trump advisor Judy Shelton, who received some positive feedback from Trump allies and business leaders like Larry Kudlow and Steve Forbes. Her proposal? A 50-year gold-backed bond to be issued on July 4, 2026 — anchoring the dollar to real value as a symbol of financial sovereignty.
November 27, 2024: Renowned economist and advocate of the gold standard, Judy Shelton, has once again brought the conversation on sound money to the forefront.
In a recent post on X, formerly Twitter, she posed a thought-provoking question:
"Why don't we use our gold as collateral for a new Treasury debt instrument?"
Shelton has proposed an innovative mechanism for reintroducing the gold standard - a 50-year Treasury bond convertible into gold, to be issued on July 4, 2026, under the initiative of President Donald Trump.
This move, she argues, could symbolize a return to fiscal discipline and monetary stability, aligning with the principles of America's founding.
A former economic advisor to President Trump, Shelton has been a vocal critic of the Federal Reserve and its monetary policies.
Her latest book, Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money, delves into the historical and practical benefits of a gold-backed monetary system, highlighting its potential to curb inflation, stabilize currencies, and restore trust in the U.S. dollar.
