"Print" Money?

This week, the so-called "U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services" branch of the so-called "U.S. Department of Homeland Security" announced a new set of "Naturalization Exam" questions and answers.

One of the answers to the new "Naturalization Exam" question number 53 is fraudulent:

53. Name one thing only the federal government can do.

[possible answers]
A: Print money >>FALSE<<
A: Declare war
A: Create an army
A: Make treaties

The federal government is permitted by law only to coin money (U.S. Constitution, Art. I, Section 8, Paragraph 5, [not lawfully repealed or amended]).

The word "coin" does not mean "print" (or even "issue") — it means stamping/pressing metal into coins. In its true and original context, that can only mean real money -- from gold and silver, as otherwise specified in the same Constitution (Section 10, Paragraph 1, [not lawfully repealed or amended]). Constitutional (i.e., lawful) money cannot be "printed" — it can only be coined.

The federal government (including the so-called "U.S. Department of Homeland Security" and so-called "U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services") commits fraud by pretending it has authority to "print money" when it lawfully does not. Answer "A" should be removed from the set of answers for question 53.

The above facts, when presented to the "U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services" and a few of the media mouthpieces which had glibly gushed the contents of the new exam evoked a resounding and unanimous response of ... silence.

Could it be that neither a federal agency nor the (presumedly independent) "media" wishes to face up to the fact that — even today (despite public conditioning to the contrary) — printed paper "notes" do not constitute lawful money?

The implications threaten the very foundation of the monetary house-of-cards foisted on the American public by the "Federal Reserve" bankers nearly a century ago, so the truth simply cannot be allowed to see the light of day.

So untold numbers of Americans (both new and old) continue to be conditioned to believe that government-printed paper "dollars" backed by absolutely no tangible value of any kind constitute "money".

Sad — but sadder still is the prospect of the untold millions who will one day discover that those "dollars" (whether paper or electronic) are ultimately worth no more than the nothing that has "backed" them for decades — outside of whatever crumbs of perceived "value" the bankers have allowed in the interim.
