Radio Contra Episode 87: The Trillion Dollar Platinum Coin, More Chinese Saber Rattling, and Communications Principles for Small Teams

Episode 87: Treasury Secretary Yellen has come up with a brilliant plan for offsetting the US debt – simply mint a Trillion Dollar Coin from 1 ounce of Platinum, worth just over One Thousand US Dollars. What could go wrong? China is also now threatening on their national TV that war with Taiwan could break out at any time. Then I cover communications principles and tips for small groups operating in a tactical environment based in reality.

    Actually, it makes as much or more sense to mint a trillion dollar coin (remember they have the power to regulate the value of money too) as it does to be able to create money out of thin air. Interestingly enough, for those of us who have been in the patriot / militia movement for some time (several decades) this idea of minting such a coin has been floating around for as long as I can remember. Though it was in to creating a coin in regard to paying off the fed and gaining back control of the banking / money system.

      The problem is that the value of the coin itself is nowhere near the face value.

      If your money is worth anything, the face value is somewhere close (or significantly less) to the value of the metal itself.

    Well if a 1 oz platinum coin is worth a trillion, I will gladly put up an ounce to pay my daughters $250k medical school loan. Seems like a fair and equitable offer and payment. They can keep the change…how magnaminous of me.

    • NC Scout October 6, 2021 at 12:42

      Hahahahaha exactly.

    • Johnny Paratrooper October 6, 2021 at 15:30

      Ralph, I had good laugh from this.
      Thanks for that brother.

      And that is exactly what the banks, etc. do by the trillions, except they skip the coin part.

      There’s a problem with your browser. Works fine on FireFox and Duck Duck Go.

    In reference to getting out of the debt, Europe had 190 billion in trade deficit with China.

    https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3121929/china-now-eus-biggest-trading-partner-exchange-complicated

    We could, in theory, be the guys making that money.
    But congress signed a deal that China is allowed to do this…
    And Europe doesn’t even care.

    Imagine the wealth we could have. We would be an incredible nation of beauty and success. With healthy families and bright futures.

    On mission planning comms is there a use for building in (for lack of a better term) dummy transmissions? I’m thinking a false transmission schedule (in addition to the legit one) where you transit legit sounding bs (nonsense codes etc.) to confuse the enemy. Or do the benefits outweigh the risks of being direction found?

    • NC Scout October 6, 2021 at 23:46

      You absolutely can. Students have done it in class in the past.
