I know why Nixon is unjustly hated, but I don't know if that's the reason for blaming him like the lie that is (((watergate))). But I can't find anything sufficient to explain why Nixon is blamed and not FDR. Gold Standard was effectively ended by FDR.
1933 - Citizens must turn in, can't own gold, gold certificates, federal reserve gold notes or w/e etc.
1971 - Nixon ends the fixed price of gold that cant' really be used because of the above.
If gold's price is fixed by the fed - be honest, it's them - then is there really a gold standard at all from 1933 to 1971? It all seems like smoke and mirrors, gold was stolen from everybody and abandonned in '33.
