Today, I would like to write about the difference between the 'Bank Note', named 'United States Notes' (USN), introduced by the President John F Kennedy (JFK), with the current money in circulation, named 'Federal Reserve Note' (FRN).  

Briefly, I would like to state again that the USN were issued as an interest-free and debt-free currency backed by 'Silver reserves' sitting in the USA Treasury Vault.  This was an absolute good reason to proceed with this brilliant idea.  

However, the USN did not stay in circulation for very long.  

The President JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963, and the USN, he bravely issued were immediately taken out of circulation.  Currently, the FRN are the only legal currency of the USA.  

What did the USN look like?

The USN looked like the FRN, the differences are that:

on the top of the Bank Note, one states 'United States Note', instead of 'Federal Reserve Note'.  

Also, the USN has a red seal, while the FRN has a green seal.  

The difference are just that, however the ramification of not continuing with the USN is this; the USN were backed by Silver Reserves and the FRN were not backed by anything of intrinsic value.   The USA's total debt has increased dramatically since 1963; and if the country would have continued with USN, large portion of this debt would not accumulated, since the country would not have to borrow the money from the 'Federal Reserve Bank' at Interest.  

We need to re-visit the idea of 'United States Notes'. 

Thank you,

12 Years a Slave

12 Years a Slave

This is my review of the movie, 12 Years a Slave, after watching it this week.

Solomon Northup, who is played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, is an average family man living in New York, with his wife and two children.  

The troubles and slavery of the 'South States' of 1840s America seem very far away to him, until he is kidnapped one night and sold into slavery.  He is tortured repeatedly until he realizes that he needs to accept his current situation and new identity given to him as 'Platt Hamilton' a slave.  

The movie, 12 Years A Slave, is a hellish view into the nightmare world of slavery in America, through the eyes of Solomon Northup / Platt Hamilton.  

Every day brings with it the possibility of torture and/or death at the hands of all or one of his masters.  Being born into freedom in New York, a northern state, a 'Free State', he is at first unaccustomed to the rules of the brutal oppression in the 'South'. 

Gradually, he gives his saneness and humility away, but never truly and completely loses hope, of one day that he will recover his 'Freedom'.  

This was a heart-touching, difficult movie to watch, the difficulty is not that it is a bad movie, the brutality of the 'Truth' of it is, difficult yo watch. 

This movie will win the 'Best Picture' in the up-coming Oscars, believe me. 

Thank you for reading / visiting.
