On the dull streets of downtown D.C. businesses are closed, apartments and condos foreclosed, and the homeless sprinkle every other curb hoping for someone to walk by and spare a $20 bill so they can afford a meal. Meanwhile, a beautifully ominous piece of architecture sits on the Northwest side of the National Mall, employing thousands of security officers and miscellaneous workers to handle the economic calamity the nation is watching unfold. That building is The Federal Reserve, standing alive and more powerful than ever before.
The average day-to-day life has been severely affected by inflation. Inflation caused by the incessant printing of money by The Federal Reserve to fund endless wars, bailouts, and entitlement programs. People used to complain about high gas prices after September 11, 2011; now people must afford $65/gallon. Food prices have skyrocketed and you can’t even get a beer to wash down the financial stress for less than $100 at your local pub. Since food and oil are not accounted for when putting together the national inflation rates, many people are unaware that the financial policies in 2019 are causing the poor to become poorer and those in power to become the richest this world has ever seen. The one thing that has positively affected the country was the lift on marijuana prohibition; just a few less citizens are now arrested on a daily basis. Not much of a difference in the incarceration rate, though.
The Federal Reserve is no longer just manipulating the interest rates and controlling inflation. The housing market is, now, solely in the Fed’s hands. Security officers can be found forcing people out of their homes in order to stabilize housing prices, and at times, when home owners don’t comply, the extraction can become violent.
This state of mass confusion and corruption has spawned an underground Rebel movement; those who refuse to comply with the theft-like policies and utter wrongdoing by the Federal Reserve and Federal Government. This subversive group wants nothing more than to regain control over their own lives and own economic freedom. You may even see one of their activism tools circulating through the community at local establishments that have managed to keep their lights on. Their Silver Circles have been minted discreetly underground in hopes that the existence of this alternative currency, although illegal, will expose the Federal Reserve in due time. Their following grows everyday, as people hear the message of truth and liberty.
So what kind of world have you painted in your head after reading about the view from 2019? When I first read the script of this film, I found myself wondering how long it would be until I’m underground collecting silver illegally (in 2019 it’s illegal to own, buy, sell, or trade silver). The economy hasn’t quite hit these levels of inflation, but with the rate of financial stimulus and bail out packages I can only imagine how quickly we’re moving towards that. Since the Federal Reserve’s inception in 1913 the dollar has lost almost all of its value. When the government wants to expand their dominance around the world they exert force with the help of cheap credit, credit that pays for war and foreign aid overseas. Here at home, money is spent on an entitlement system that is spiraling out of control while big businesses that work closely with the Federal Reserve and government stay afloat through enormous bailout packages.
Are we so far away from this economic distress our story reveals in 2019? We did not consult a crystal ball, however history exists. We can all learn from history. In our case Silver Circle plans to take lessons from the past and address them in a modern day fashion. Now is the time to spread the message of sound money and expose the fraudulent acts of the Federal Reserve. If we don’t, we may be that person in 2019 begging for a $20 bill.
