The Texas Gold Bullion Repository was legislated in 2015 and began operations in 2018.  Most readers probably never heard of it but in 2018 I immediately recognized it, thanks to my experience with Orlin Grabbe.  It's a foundation for a regional/national monetary system and ever since then I've been expecting this...

Other States are figuring it out, there's supporting legislation pending in 15 States.  How do you stop a nuclear-armed juggernaut that's been conscripted by extremists?

You turn off its money.
