As I've said in my last installment, Franklin Roosevelt's abuse of power here in the United States rivaled that of Hitler's in Germany. (I'm not saying Roosevelt was a crazy Jew-hater. Just that he abused his power.) As evidence, allow me to provide the following Executive Orders issued by him during his tenure.
- In 1933, with Executive Order 6102, he prohibited the "hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion and gold certificates" by private citizens. This required U.S. citizens to deliver all but about 5 oz. of the gold they had to the Federal Reserve, in exchange for $20.57 per troy ounce. This had to be done by May 9, 1933, or you would face prosecution under the "Trading With the Enemy Act", punishable by fines up to $10,000 (That's $167,408 today) and/or 10 years in prison. Personal gold ownership was illegal until 1974, when Congress legalized it.
More to come...
