Hello Wayne,

 >>>> Griffin does not have a very good grasp on how things work.

 WH>>> It was you who recommended me the book. :-)

 >> These are his stated beliefs. Make of them what you will.
 >> From his very own homepage -

 >> https://freedomforceinternational.org/position-statements/


 >> Enjoy his entire site. Lots there.

 >> Here is a talk by him, on a different site -

 >> https://www.bigeye.com/griffin.htm

 WH> Thanks.  Incidentally, I had already read this talk.  That does clarify
 WH> his meanings of some of his description in chapter ten of ``The Creature
 WH> from Jekyll Island''.

 >> That should be enough to give you an idea as to where he is
 >> coming from. In all his writings, he is consistent with his POV.

 WH> Yes, thanks.

His position is to eliminate the fed. Go back to the gold and silver
standard, in accordance to what is stated in the US Constitution.

 WH> But, you see, I'm not worried about his position or ``where he is coming
 WH> from''.  Of course it's a very interesting thing to understand a person
 WH> deeply, but for Wayne Harris right now the moment is to verify
 WH> arithmetic.  We begin verifying that ``2 + 2 = 4'' and then then we move
 WH> to claims such as ``17 is a prime number''.  We'll leave interesting
 WH> stories of how Gauss really found the normal distribution for a more
 WH> retrospective moment of life.  The moment is to know it exists and to
 WH> use it to calculate probabilities.  In other words, most of the causes
 WH> Griffin lays out in his talks and books are not important to the
 WH> beginner: what matters most is how things work and how we can verify it.

How things work are how those in power intend for things to work.

 WH> So here's a pretty simple question.  Is there an _official_ reporter of
the
 WH> US national debt?  (If so, where does it show it the amount?)

The Department of the Treasury.
The stats can be viewed online.

 WH> A follow-up question would be: how can we get an official history of the
 WH> increases in the national debt?  (That is, where is the accounting
 WH> statements for the number over the last few decades?)

Same source. They keep the books, remember?

 WH> Thanks so much.

You'll have to do your own math to figure it all out.
