Texas Takes MASSIVE Stand Against Obama... He Is Livid Texas has an interesting history. It was an independent nation from 1836 to 1845 before it became part of the United States, earning it the name of The Lone Star Republic. Now, according to recent reports, Texas may be working to return to its independent roots and secede from the United States. Texas recently announced that they intend to keep its gold holdings within its own borders. That adds up to approximately 5,600 bars or $650 million. The decision was approved by the conservative community, who fear that there is little hope in the long-term viability of the federal government, especially in the hands of Barack Obama. Just moving it [from Manhattan to Texas] would be pretty expensive and unless Texas is anticipating withdrawing from the Union, which I suspect is some peoples want, I dont see what advantage it is, Edwin Truman, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Peterson Institute for International Economics told reporters. I think Texas is once again showing theyre ahead of the curve, James Rickards, author of The Death of Money: The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System told reporters. What do you think? Do you support Texas in this move?
