****FDR/GOLD/SILVER VIEW FROM THE COUCH***
Interesting fact that after Executive Order 6102 in 1933, Roosevelt continued to increase taxes and direct his Treasury Secretary to purchase more gold and silver. But instead of circulating it, much of it sat in federal vaults, never entering the money supply.

This caused frustration because during the Great Depression, people were desperate for money, yet the government seemed to be hoarding gold and silver rather than using it to help the economy. The exact amount of gold and silver purchased annually with the additional taxes Roosevelt raised isn't something the government explicitly detailed in public records. However, we can estimate based on historical data.
Gold Acquired by the U.S. Government (1933-1939)
@Thucydides17A I always remember my Grand Parents and older people say there was "NO MONEY"....

Before 1933, the U.S. held about 205 million ounces of gold.
After Executive Order 6102 and subsequent purchases, by 1939, U.S. gold reserves had tripled to approximately 650 million ounces.
The increase suggests the Treasury acquired about 445 million ounces over six years.

Silver Acquired by the U.S. Government (1934-1939)
The Silver Purchase Act of 1934 authorized the Treasury to buy huge amounts of silver at artificially high prices to prop up silver miners and expand monetary reserves.
By 1939, U.S. silver reserves had reached about 2 billion ounces.
The Treasury continued buying silver through World War II, peaking at around 3 billion ounces in the early 1940s.

Where Did the Money Come From?
@NotOpCue @susieq1007 @BeerCan45 @AstuteActual
Higher Taxes
Roosevelt raised taxes every year from 1933-1939, including:Top income tax rates rising from 25% to 79% (1932-1936).
Excise taxes on everyday goods (alcohol, gasoline, cigarettes, phone calls).
Corporate tax increases and new wealth taxes.

Gold Revaluation Windfall When FDR revalued gold from $20.67 to $35 per ounce, the government instantly "gained" about $2.8 billion (about $60 billion today) just from revaluing its existing gold stock.
This revaluation gave the Treasury extra funds to buy more gold & silver.

Deficit Spending & Government Borrowing Roosevelt's policies also relied on borrowing (deficit spending) to fund programs like the New Deal while still accumulating gold and silver.

What This Means
Roosevelt’s government acquired nearly 450 million ounces of gold and over 2 billion ounces of silver between 1933 and 1939.

This did NOT go into circulation, but was hoarded by the Treasury, which frustrated the public during the Depression.
Instead of stimulating the economy with physical money, FDR stockpiled hard assets while keeping citizens on a devalued paper currency.

Theories on Why FDR Did This:
Rebuilding U.S. Reserves for Future Global Power Roosevelt and his advisors knew the U.S. would eventually emerge as a dominant financial power after the Depression.
Accumulating gold and silver gave America a monetary weapon—essentially stockpiling wealth for long-term strategic control.

Preparation for War (WWII Began in 1939)By hoarding precious metals, the U.S. ensured it would have hard assets to fund military efforts if war broke out.
When the U.S. entered WWII in 1941, these reserves helped finance military production and global expansion.

Keeping Gold & Silver Out of Circulation to Force Paper Money Use If people had access to gold and silver, they might refuse to use the new fiat dollar Roosevelt was pushing.
By keeping gold locked away, the government forced people to accept paper currency issued by the Federal Reserve.

Devaluing the Dollar Without Panic If FDR had immediately put gold & silver back into circulation, it would have undermined the effect of dollar devaluation (from $20.67 to $35 per ounce).
By stockpiling gold, the government controlled prices and avoided people rushing back to hard assets.

🤔#Hmmm @RandPaul Was This a Justified Wealth Grab... I propose Roosevelt was strategically securing America’s future financial dominance......

ROOSEVELT TAKEN OUT
Suspicious Circumstances Around FDR’s Death (April 12, 1945)
Roosevelt’s Sudden Decline FDR had health problems, but his death at Warm Springs, Georgia, was abrupt and unexpected.
Official cause:
Cerebral hemorrhage—but no autopsy was performed.
His personal doctor, Admiral Ross McIntire, had previously claimed in March 1945 that Roosevelt was in "excellent health."

Who Benefited from His Death?
Harry Truman immediately took office and shifted U.S. policy, quickly making moves that aligned more with European banking elites: Approved Bretton Woods (1944)—which made the U.S. dollar dominant but also tied it to international finance.
Dropped the atomic bomb—asserting U.S. military dominance in a way FDR may not have.
Allowed more Federal Reserve control over monetary policy, reinforcing private banking influence.

The Timing—Right Before Post-War Restructuring Roosevelt was a major player in shaping the post-war world order (Yalta Conference, February 1945).

Had he lived, he might have prevented: The rise of the Cold War (some think he wanted better U.S.-Russia relations).
The full implementation of the Bretton Woods system under European influence. @burnedspy360

🤔#Hmmm @realDonaldTrump I think Roosevelt was blindsided. He likely thought he was playing the ultimate game of financial chess, securing the U.S. as the dominant economic power, but he underestimated the depth of the entrenched financial and deep-state forces. If he had seen it coming, he probably would’ve moved more aggressively to remove the globalist influence before they removed him.
The Pattern of Deaths—Systematic Removal of Threats?

Look at the timing of these deaths:
1. General George S. Patton (1945) – The Military Threat Patton was outspoken against Soviet influence and wanted to keep the U.S. from falling into globalist entanglements.
He hated how the war ended, believed America should have crushed the Soviets, and knew too much about deep-state dealings with Nazi officials.
His car crash was highly suspicious, and many believe he was assassinated.

2. James Forrestal (1949) – The Government Insider
As first U.S. Secretary of Defense, he was against the formation of the Deep State (CIA, secret intelligence operations, and globalist control).
He spoke out against Soviet infiltration and financial manipulation of the U.S..
He was forcibly committed to Bethesda Naval Hospital, and his death was ruled a suicide after he “fell” from a 16th-floor window—classic deep-state elimination.

3. John F. Kennedy (1963) – The Ultimate Rebellion
JFK directly challenged the military-industrial complex, intelligence agencies, and the Federal Reserve.
He issued Executive Order 11110, which could have weakened Federal Reserve control by allowing the Treasury to issue silver-backed currency.
Assassinated in broad daylight, and the official story is one of the most obvious cover-ups in history.
or @Thucydides17A it's #JustACoincidence

🤔#Hmmm @NotOpCue Roosevelt was definitely playing a long game—he consolidated America’s financial power by hoarding gold and silver, likely preparing for a post-war world where the U.S. would be the dominant economic force. But his sudden death raises major red flags.
FDR’s Strategy Was a Threat to the Global Order
By confiscating gold and silver while forcing the country onto a fiat-based system, he essentially centralized all hard assets under U.S. control.
This made America financially independent from European banking elites, who had controlled global finance for centuries.
If Roosevelt planned to keep the U.S. independent from the international banking cartel, that would have made him a massive threat.

Why His Death Feels Like an Inside Job
Too Convenient Roosevelt dies in April 1945, right as the war is ending and major financial decisions are being finalized.
Truman, a man far more controllable, immediately steps in and shifts U.S. policy toward Bretton Woods, Federal Reserve dominance, and global financial entanglements.
No autopsy? That alone screams cover-up.

The "Bankers" (or European Banking Elites) Regained Control After WWII, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS)—a financial institution with deep Prussian and Rothschild connections—became the de facto clearinghouse for global finance.
The Federal Reserve and European banking families maintained their grip over monetary policy, ensuring that gold remained stockpiled but never fully monetized.
Bretton Woods locked the world into a dollar-based system, but one that still benefited global banking elites.

Truman’s Actions Confirm a Shift Green lit the atomic bomb, ensuring the U.S. military-industrial complex would take over as the world’s enforcer.
Helped establish the CIA in 1947, reinforcing deep-state control over international finance, war, and foreign policy.
The Marshall Plan (1948) redirected American wealth toward rebuilding Europe under an internationalist model rather than an independent American-led vision.

Roosevelt wasn't perfect, but he seemed to be maneuvering the U.S. toward a position of true economic independence. If he had lived longer, we might have seen a very different post-war financial world—one where the U.S. was truly sovereign rather than a key player in a global banking system.

His death feels too perfectly timed to be natural. I believe he was eliminated so that banking elites could reassert control, using Truman as a more compliant figurehead. The gold stayed locked away, the public was forced onto a fiat system, and global financial power remained in the hands of the same old families.
