Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich calls for U.S. Gold Commission
GOP Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has called for the creation of a Gold Commission “to look at the concept of how we get back to hard money.”
During a foreign policy forum sponsored by the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, Gingrich declared, “We need to get our house in order. And we need to vaccinate ourselves against foreign contagion.”
“Part of our approach ought to be to reestablish something Ronald Reagan did in 1981 and that it to have a Commission on Gold to look at the concept of how to get back to hard money,” he asserted.

Looks like he took another fee from a globalist org. knewtbag CFR is a traitor. Anything he says is mere pandering.
that was a patently stupid comment
THE ONLY TWO DIFFERENCES OF newt AND barry IS newt’s ALL WHITE,AND IS A NATURE BORN CITIZEN !!! Dr.Ron Paul 2012 for the ONLY PROVEN HONEST (for Well Over 30 Years),God FearingPatriot running for President,PERIOD !!!
Your man will allow Iran to eliminate Israel and say well, they brought it on themselves. Who needs that? What will he say when an Iranian missle lands on US soil?
Israel has 300 nuclear weapons. And how many does Iran have?
Apparently you do not understand or know Dr Ron Paul’s position on protecting America. Is it true about Las Vegas being voted the dumbest city in America?
Ron Paul 2012!
Intelligence Officer Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer says Ron Paul is correct on Iran:

Iran aint gonna do shyt. Its Isreal that is pravoking the us to fight there war!!!!
BEYOND stupid! The “economists” haven’t got a real clue as to the problem.
If you can PRINT money ANYTIME you want, you do NOTHING to stabilize value. Gold is something you CANNOT print, therefore you can’t manipulate the economy which is PRECISELY what is causing today’s problems. And the problem that WAS is greatly exacerbated by the Fed’s simply “running off a few trillion here and there” as well as Congress spending it FASTER than they could print it!
Other countries would have to exchange their currencies so that they were backed with gold OR see their money have less value- it forces everyone to be careful with their money or see it devalued against something that can ONLY be obtained through work- not paper and a printing press.
If gold were not THE measuring stick, WHY is it that ONLY gold is sought by investors when the world’s economies are fluctuating wildly? The second “safe haven” is the US dollar. Why? Because for all of it’s problems, the US is STILL the stablest and securest place to put money.
Back to the beginning- when the Fed and Congress can spend what they don’t have and then just print it- they do! When their spending is controlled by the limitations of what is in the vaults, they can’t. NOT with impugnity.
I’m ALL for going back on the gold standard.. And I don’t own an ounce of it.
“The American Dream” animated video tells how, and why, we were cleverly taken OFF the gold standard. This amounts to an excellent world history lesson re Rothschild Banking. (30 min video)

Make this go viral!
I agree. The gold standard would not allow the congress to spend more than it has.
We need to get back to the gold standard to get this country back on its feet.
We need to elect someone who can actually get it done. And that ain’t Ron Paul. What has Ron Paul EVER gotten enacted other than the earmarks he denies he’s enacted?
The bill to audit the Fed, and the only one in Congress who has wanted to do for this for the past 20 years.
I agree but there is not enough Gold in the World to back ALL the FUNNY MONEY!! I say the US Declare Bankruptcy and tell the World to Kiss Our Arse if they dont like it!! Only after that could we ever get back to the Gold Standard that Richard Nixon took us off of, right before he got Impeached. By the way, has anyone seen the Gold Commercial with Gordon Liddy? He went to Jail for Nixon and now is the Spokesmen for it on theose TV Commercials talking about ‘Hot Air’…
The purpose of a gold standard is not to replace all the funny money. Becasue gold can not be simply printed, the wealth of the nation is finite. This forces the government to spend very wisely including avoiding costly foreign “adventures”. Unfortunately, Newt is all talk and has no intention of putting us back on the gold standard, he wants a “gold commission” to study sound money.
And just to be clear, historically nations don’t declare bankruptcy, they inflate their money to pay off debt (just like us) then declare the currency worthless and introduce the new currency.
Is Gingrich trustworthy? His first two wives thought so. I’ll pass on him. He speaks well, but so does BHO. Trust a proven liar, people are gullable.
So, what about that commission? Did they ever get their “study” done? Are they STILL “studying”? Where are the results? Why are we still screwed? Seriously, I want to know.
What evidence do you have for your ridiculous, specious claims? Sometimes i wonder if you idiots even know how to spell CFR. You throw that acronym around like it was some kind of magic wand that turns anyone you aim it at into a toad. You seem to think all you have to do is make your stupid allegations and everyone will immediately recognize your cosmic wisdom and recant their support for Newt. Grow up~!
Spell check twice when angry, other wise your point is compromised.
It’s “otherwise”. One word.
Touche’
There IS no evidence. Typical Lib comment without substantiation. Best either ignore them or spell them out for what they are.
The Council on Foreign Relations created in 1921 by House, Rockefeller,Morgan, etc. England has the same organization but it is called the Round Table. Their goal is world domination. The White House, media, colleges and military have several hundred members. Research Dr. Carroll Quigley.
Newt is a member. Every President since FDR has been a member.
It’s called the Council on Foreign Relations, a globalist think tank dedicated to bringing about a one world government. Look it up. Perhaps you try doing a little research on the subject.

2+2+5…..2+2+5…..2+2+5…..2+2+5…..2+2+5…..2+2+5…..2+2+5…..
“2+2=5″
White House math?
Spoken like a true OBUMMER!!!!
Wow. First Perry stole pieces of Ron Paul’s platform and now Newt is stealing a major piece of Ron Paul’s platform.
Ron Paul and Jesse Helms had the idea for the US Gold Commission which Congress then passed in 1982. Where was Newk? Thinking up some ‘futuristic’ one world government constitution?
You all should know Reagan barely knew who Newk was, as Romney pointed out during the CNN debate. And did you notice Newk’s expression when Mitt told the world the truth? He was FURIOUS.
Quin Hillyer of American Spectator was aroun at that time and says the joke going around in the late 1980s was that the NRCC had a whole room full of file Cabinets, with every drawer in the room labeled “Newt’s ideas.” Well, every drawer but one. The drawer in the bottom corner of the dingiest file Cabinet was labeled “Newt’s good ideas.”
He also calls attention to the fact that the Contract with America, for instance, was more the brainchild of Kerry Knott (Armey’s aid, who came up with the first version of it while on a weekend clear-his-mind getaway at Morton Blackwell’s country house) than anybody else. The insistence on passing welfare reform (rather than giving up on it after two vetoes and using it as a campaign issue instead) came from the bottom up, with folks like Santorum, John Kasich, Bill Archer, and Clay Shaw deserving more of the credit than Gingrich.
Also, Bob Livingston went beyond what Newt even asked in pursuit of a balanced budget, and so did Kasich. But Gingrich almost ruined the whole thing by agreeing with Bill Thomas to include an unnecessary Medicare provision into the “shutdown” battle, thus giving fodder to Clinton and muddying the waters. Gingrich’s foot-in-mouth-itis clearly helped cost conservatives both in the PR department and in the 1996 presidential race; his conduct of the impeachment inquiry turned it, politically, into a major met minus instead of the net plus it should have been; and his utter capitulation on spending in the fall of 1998 (in order to buy off moderates for what turned out to be irrelevant demands for the actual shape of the impeachment inquiry) blew the lid off the spending progress made in the previous three years and set the scene for the Bush spendathon.
Newk manipulates history as easily as a dog likes its butt and the sheeple just fall in line.
If you want to know who the ‘real’ Newk is, just read the following
http://predicthistunpredictpast.blogspot.com/2012/01/newt-if-you-dont-know-me-by-now-mo-will.html
“The American challenge in leading the world is compounded by our Constitution. Un der our [constitutional system] – either we’re going to have to rethink our Constitution, or we’re going to have to rethink our process of decision-making. [I believe in a] very strong but limited federal government. I am for the United Nations.”
Newt Gingrich, Center for Strategic and Int’l Affairs 1995
Newt has also agreed with Ron Paul that the military spending is out of control:
“And let me say to all of my friends on both sides of the aisle, we have every opportunity through reform to shrink the Pentagon to a triangle; we have every opportunity to apply the lessons of downsizing, the lessons of the information age. And just because something is in uniform doesn’t mean it has to be saluted, but instead, we should be getting every penny for our taxpayers, and we in the Congress should be looking at long-term contracting as one way to dramatically lower the cost of defense.”
- Newt Gingrich, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from Georgia, delivered to the United States Congress, Election of the Speaker, 7 January 1997
Ron Paul has been saying that since BEFORE Newt did.
But Newk also thinks that Bush was too good at keeping America safe. This is what he said at a book talk in Huntington NY, 2008:
““This is one of the great tragedies of the Bush administration. The more successful they’ve been at intercepting and stopping bad guys, the less proof there is that we’re in danger…. It’s almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us.”
So if Newk was president – he would ALLOW us to be attacked just so he could spread his war around and make a better case to ‘fundamentally transform’ our Constitution.
Newk is just as dangerous as Obeyme is to our country.
NO NEWKS!!
Great blog.
Good research.
It’s about time someone like Newt Ginrich is upstaging everyone, I do believe he’s the man to lead this country out of the mess that O’Bama and his fellow Democrats have created. I’d like to see the U.S. gold back to the GOLD standard, our paper is getting more and more worthless every day, good for Newt, LONG LIVE NEWT GINGRICH.
Amazing! This silver tongued devil is now ‘suddenly’ and ‘out of the blue’ spouting a similar concept that Ron Paul has been yelling for decades, a return to a sound Constitutionally legal money system. What a hypocrite!
If anyone believes Newt is ‘the man’ to run this country, you better understand that he will bury this country just as fast as that ‘thing’ we have in the White House now. Newt is, at best, an ultraLiberal in RINO clothing who can silver tongue his way in to the hearts and minds of Americans with mastery to gain trust and then suddenly flip-flop with excuses to justify his hypocrisy. The one thing that cannot be denied or argued is his loathing and disgust of our US Constitution and his obedience to the New World Order elitists (CFR and Bilderbergers and etc.), especially as a CFR member. Knowing this, how can anyone honestly say they respect this closet Liberal and One World Government pimp, much less think he’ll be any better than that illegal alien that currently occupies Our White House, who himself is also a puppet of the world elitist?
People, read the following facts and then please………WAKE UP!! In 1994, Gingrich described himself as “a conservative futurist.” He said that those who were trying to define him should look no further than ‘The Third Wave’, a 1980 book written by Alvin Toffler. The book describes our society as entering a post-industrial phase in which abortion, homosexuality, promiscuity, and divorce are perfectly normal, even virtuous. Toffler penned a letter to America’s “founding parents,” in which he said: “The system of government you fashioned, including the very principles on which you based it, is increasingly obsolete, and hence increasingly, if inadvertently, oppressive and dangerous to our welfare. It must be radically changed and a new system of government invented — a democracy for the 21st century.”
He went on to describe our constitutional system as one that “served us so well for so long, and that now must, in its turn, die and be replaced.” Ask yourself now, replaced with what? Remember, Newt in reality despises our Constitution and is a pimp for the world elitist, this is fact given his membership with the CFR. A vote for Newt is a vote for a One World Government. Is that what you want?
Newt would like to replace our Constitution with himself, because he is just that smart. Newt isn’t your average globalist. He thinks he can play them just as well as he does everyone else. He buys into their ideas because he sees himself as the all powerful Oz. Benevolent, of course, and full of self righteousness. IF he gets elected I truly believe the fears of some people regarding suspended elections and the like will come true sooner than even I had thought.
Your conclusions seem out of line with your argument. Typical. Why bother?
Maybe I can explain it for you.
What he is saying is, it is too hard for a leopard to change its spots.
There are people in this world who believe they are above average. They believe the average person is mean, ignorant, and incapable of governing himself. They believe the above average people should be in power and have control over the average person. They believe if everyone just listened to them and did what they say then everything would be better. They believe the awesome power of government should be used to make average people do what they want them to do. If given enough power, they believe using guns to force people to do what they say is OK because the average person doesn’t know what is good for himself.
Our founders tried to protect us from these kinds of people. Unfortunately, the people who gravitate towards politics usually fall into this category. Newt is one of the worst. That make it any clearer?
Rebel Rich. You have it right.When looking for a candidate to vote for.Ask your self this question.Would he sell out the nation for personal gain.And in my mind this one would BIG TIME>
Sounds like a PaulBot in disguise.
And a return to limited government and a Constitutional Republic as Ron Paul has espoused ever since he went into public life, is a bad thing?
Is that what you are trying to say?
Why does it make him a hypocrite to say something that Ron Paul has espoused. That foolish first line made me not even read the rest of your probable blather!
The hypocrisy lies in his long standing support of the Federal Reserve and his documented disdain for the Constitution which it self is the mandate for a monetary system of silver and gold that Newt now ‘magically’ supports, a position that the Constitutionalist Ron Paul has advocated for decades, long before Newt ever uttered a word about it. You need to bone up on Newt’s history so you don’t continue to stick your foot in your mouth with questions like this.
I am sure he isn’t interested, too busy running down people who haven’t bought into Newt’s snake oil.
Let me summarize what RebelRich76 just said:
Ron Paul has been calling for a return to the gold standard for 30 years but couldn’t get it done. Newt has picked up the call and RebelRich76′s furious because he knows Newt has a FAR better chance of actually getting it done. So it’s not really about getting it done. It’s about Ron Paul looking inept. Too late to try and cover that one up.
That’s a pathetic attempt at rebuttal. The cover up comes from Newt’s affiliation with the ‘elitists’ via the CFR Globalists. It’s the ‘good ol’boys’ club where membership is required in order to have support for your legislation. Since Ron in not a member of the ‘elitist’ club, any legislation he attempts to move forward will automatically be stonewalled by the likes of brown nosers who kiss the rears of the globalist – like Newt! That’s not a ‘tan’ on Newts face, by the way.
