Virginia To Establish A Committee On "Alternative To The Federal Reserve Currency"

Virginia is establishing a joint subcommittee to study whether the Commonwealth should adopt a currency to serve as an alternative to the currency distributed by the Federal Reserve System in the event of a major breakdown of the Federal Reserve System.

This is serious. I applaud them, hope more states follow this lead.

Its a wake up call to read many widely recognized experts predict the inevitable destruction of the Federal Reserve System’s currency through hyperinflation in the foreseeable future !!!
