Dr. Evil: Using my time machine I shall travel back to 1975, pick up Goldmember and bring him back to the future. And the best part of this plan is… no one can stop me. Not even… Austin Powers.
[All laugh maliciously]
Austin Powers: Not so fast. You’re surrounded, Doctor Evil.
Dr. Evil: Sh*t (Imdb)
A year earlier, in 1933, Executive Order 6102 had made it a criminal offense for U.S. citizens to own or trade gold anywhere in the world, with exceptions for some jewelry and collector’s coins. These prohibitions were relaxed starting in 1964 – gold certificates were again allowed for private investors on April 24, 1964, although the obligation to pay the certificate holder on demand in gold specie would not be honored. By 1975 Americans could again freely own and trade gold. –WikipediaAnother good line from Number 2: “While you were in space, I created a way for us to make huge sums of legitimate money, and still maintain the ethics and the business practices of an evil organization. I have turned us into talent agency; the Hollywood Talent Agency.”
The decline of American civilization has a lot of entertainment value. The only sad thing about it, is when people need something of value in reality. Quick, someone stage a benefit concert for Hurricane Sandy victims to shift some of our federal reserve "notes" and paper ponzi around… wait, they need food and water and power in reality?
Imagine that. Reality... who would have thought?
