1966: “In the absence of the Gold Standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value... deficit spending is simply

a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process.”

2009: “The rise in gold and silver is strictly a monetary phenomenon and is an indication of the very early stage of an endeavour to move away from paper currencies’.”
