Goals of the Institute

• The purpose of The Gold Standard Institute

To disseminate the virtues of the Gold Standard so that they become widely understood and

appreciated.

• Our objectives:

1. To establish gold as the basis of money;
2. To ensure that never again will the virtue and efficacy of gold at the base of a money system be forgotten,or become widely misunderstood;
3. To serve as a reminder and a testament to the abject failure of all experiments in fiat monies throughout history.

• The Gold Standard Institute appeals to all those:

1. Who cherish freedom and the ideal of government of limited and enumerated powers;
2. Who support the principle of checks and balances in public affairs, as well as the notion of delegating power only to the extent it is encumbered with countervailing responsibilities;
3. Who reject the incestuous combination of the monopoly to create money with a monopoly to dictate the research agenda for the principles governing money creation;
4. Who reject the prostitution of monetary science to be used as a smoke-screen with which to camouflage the gradual enslavement of the entire population of the Earth.

• It calls upon them:

1. To step forward and support the cause of exposing monetary deceit and mischief;
2. To demand the reinstatement of the gold standard, the return to constitutional money, and putting the individual citizen in charge of money-creation at the Mint once more;
3. To force the government to write gold clauses into its bonds.
