Journalist, author and award-winning documentary film director, Bill Still, announced today on radio station KTKK out of Salt Lake City, Utah that he will seek the nomination of the Libertarian Party for President of the United States. He says he is currently in discussions with potential running mates.

“My platform centered like a laser beam on the monetary reform issue,” said Still. “This is the root cause of all our economic problems today and until this is addressed, no amount of stimulus or austerity will fix the U.S. economy. The Republicans and Democrats are barking up the wrong trees. As the great populist of the 1896 Presidential election campaign, William Jennings Bryan, put it in his famous "Cross of Gold" speech:

“We say in our platform that we believe that the right to coin money and issue money is a function of government. We believe it. We believe it is a part of sovereignty….
“Those who are opposed to this proposition tell us that the issue of paper money is a function of the bank and that the government ought to go out of the banking business. I stand with Jefferson rather than with them, and tell them, as he did, that the issue of money is a function of the government and that the banks should go out of the governing business.

“When we have restored the money of the Constitution, all other necessary reforms will be possible, and that until that is done there is no reform that can be accomplished.”

Still has already picked up support amongst the Libertarian delegations in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Utah. “We may well be the front-runners going into the Libertarian Party National Nominating Convention on May 2-6, 2012 in Las Vegas.”
According to Still, who wrote and directed the 1996 classic, The MoneyMasters, the 2010 award winning documentary The Secret of Oz, and the 2011 book, No More National Debt, “Simply ending the Fed, won’t fix this. As Prof. Milton Friedman told me, ‘If you end the Fed and do nothing about fractional reserve lending, you’ve done nothing.’”

“My proposal is very simple,” said Still. “It is really nothing new – just rediscovered at this critical juncture in U.S. history. As Professor Irving Fisher of Yale University explained it in his 1936 book, 100% Money:

“Nationalize money, but do not nationalize banking.”

“Here are the two inviolable pillars upon which any true reform of our economic system must rest,” said Still:

Pillar #1: End government borrowing. A sovereign nation does not have to borrow, in fact, being debt-free is the very definition of sovereignty. Pay off the existing bonds -- which is our National Debt -- as they come due, but pay them off with debt free U.S. Notes (or their electronic equivalents) instead of Federal Reserve Notes, which are all borrowed into existence.

Pillar #2: Banks should only be able to lend money they actually have. This is called “full-reserve” banking. Before the crash, commercial banks were lending out between 10 and 300 times the amount of money they actually had. Therefore, they are in complete control of the American money supply, instead of we, the people being in control as is called for in Article 8:

“The Congress shall have Power To … coin Money, [and] regulate the Value thereof….”

He shouldn't focus on the Federal level. We need to focus on secession and creating our own systems free of these Rothschild Commies. Getting states to secede from the union and become their own country is a better solution in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong though, I like Bill Still, he's taught us a lot.

[LuckyStrike]

IMO, the libertarians and constitution party should all rally behind Ron Paul, anyone who runs will just fracture the movement.

I also agree with focusing on the State level.

I'm still not decided if Bill Still is the real deal or a void-filler. That Gallagher fellow looks like a tribe member and Bill has a long hooked nose.

I always wondered about Bill's pencil waving in his videos, which is a trigger not to believe the speaker, kind of like Brother Nathaniel's index finger waving.

Pretend you're blind and can only listen or read in brail, Bill Still's message, which is primarily having the government spend the currency into the economy without issuing debt. Now, if you could do this, does his message resonate with you?

BTW, I like him. Years ago, when I first learned about him, I wrote him off as I couldn't grasp the possibilties of his message. But I've since come around and see it as far better than what we have now.

[Joe King]

The only thing wrong with Bill Stills message is that it requires a fiscally responsible gov and a generally self-policing populace.

Everyone that thinks either of those are likely, or even possible in the current political climate, please raise your hands.


Other than that, I like everything the guy says. He seems genuine.

For money to be effective, it has to be valueless.

Interesting.

Yes, under those circumstances Bil Still's and Brother Nathaniel's messages resonate with me.

There are psychological tricks the tribe uses to prevent us from believing the truth. By telling the truth and using the tricks, they fill a void and prevent anyone else from believing the truth. Watch Brother Nathaniel closely, then explain why Bil Still waves his pen.

“For money to be effective, it has to be valueless”

This is a tough concept to understand and even more so for gold bugs. But if you don’t want to see the entire monetary system wrapped-up in ever expanding debt, with large structures built around leveraging & speculating upon such debt while buying off the political system, or at the other end of the spectrum, a monetary system whereby those without precious metals (think nearly everyone) would be permanently at the bottom and a much deeper bottom than now, while the top holders will still hold the political system to their advantage. Then you could agree with Bill’s statement. The velocity of money would increase and the public sector debt burden would eventually be eliminated. Kids entering college would have a financial incentive to pursue degrees in fields that actually improve the quality of life for everyone, rather than having ‘the best and the brightest’ attracted into law, finance, accounting, banking and other related B.S. degrees, ‘The best and the brightest’ would have more incentive to pursue real fields of science like engineering, geology, medicine, biology and chemistry.

Perhaps Bill could have said something like, ‘For money to be most efficient, REFLECTING UPON HOW SOCIETY IS STRUCTURED AROUND IT, it should be neither hoarded nor wrapped in perpetual debt - - therefore it’s substance and issuance should be valueless.'

he thinks tally sticks were the best monetary system ever invented. fail.

The tally stick system worked really well for 726 years. It was the most successful form of currency in recent history and the British Empire was actually built under the Tally Stick system, but how is it that most of us are not aware of its existence?

Perhaps the fact that in 1694 the Bank of England at its formation attacked the Tally Stick System gives us a clue as to why most of us have never heard of them. They realised it was money outside the power of the money changers, (the very thing King Henry had intended).

It would not be possible to extinguish debt* if money was without value or substance.

*under the current scheme of things debt is discharged with limited liability when using Federal commercial paper aka FRNs

now listen here, giving the king a carving knife and allowing him to carve blocks of wood in to half shaped ladders is no basis for a monetary system! :)

[Libertarian_Guard]

Chad, forget about the tally sticks, like William Jennings Bryan, you’re being lulled to sleep in another poppy field.

Under the current system, legally, you are correct. But isn’t what Bill is discussing. He is talking about real change.

[midnight rambler]

The terms 'legal' and 'lawful' are not synonymous. Is Bill talking about returning to lawful money where one will be able to extinguish debt rather than discharge debt with limited liability?

[Libertarian_Guard]

"Money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest. And this term interest, which means the birth of money from money, is applied to the breeding of money because the offspring resembles the parent. Wherefore of all modes of getting wealth, this is the most unnatural."

Aristotle 325 BC

[TheNocturnalEgyptian]

I have read his book "The New World Order" and I highly recommend it to anyone. He wrote it under his full name, William T. Still, and quotes over 200 sources in it. He is a master at arranging and processing information. He creates an absolutely airtight documentation of the conspiracy from 1650-1980, many of them precious colonial records that I had not seen before.

It is my opinion that this is the type of man urgently needed in all sorts of public offices. He has a very clear and articulate understanding of where out society was intentionally corrupted throughout history, and an honest desire to see it righted. All I have ever seen from him is a desire to defeat tyranny and bestow liberty to all, so this man would easily get my vote for nearly any position, up to and including the president.


As far as him running in this coming election, it would be painful to see him fracture the Ron Paul movement.
