The Traitor Within - The Root Cause - Thomas Paine - Gold's Resurgence

By Mitchell Vexler, February 4, 2026



The Traitor Within:

 

In early 2025, both Travis and I attended a meeting in a County in Texas, wherein I was asked to help create a scope of work for a forensic audit to be conducted by the board of that CAD.

 

I did so as I knew the damage done to the community by the CAD was massive. I knew the Chief Appraiser had never read or taught USPAP, and the result was property tax fraud and school district bond fraud on a mass scale, and I knew that multiple school districts in that county were bankrupt.

 

It turns out that one of the people in that meeting who was, to my face, very intent on getting to the bottom of the issue, and who asked for the scope of work, was a traitor to the Citizens of that county and decided (convinced the board) to hire a company to do a fluff piece outlining the personality quirks of a dysfunctional CAD. By not conducting a proper forensic audit, his actions and repeated failings, cost the Citizens the truth, and the truth is in the math (USPAP) and the software from which the fraud being perpetrated can be determined and documented in detail within less than 10 days of forensic analysis, as we know exactly what to look for. This traitor wasted time, more taxpayer money, and did not give resolution to the taxpayers, or the proper readily available evidence to the DA or the State Attorney General.

 

With that said, I am hereby releasing for use across the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Greenland, UK, and any country that claims to utilize USPAP, the attached Forensic Audit of a CAD Scope of Work.  You can change the names and criteria in the documents, but following this path will save a massive amount of money and time.

 

I want to point out two items:

 

1. An Audit can still be conducted on this CAD, which is guilty of violating dozens of laws, as is its now X-Chief Appraiser, and should be demanded by the Board, DA and Citizens.  There will be multiple school district bankruptcies shortly and the metaphorical blood of the bankruptcies is on the hands of the traitor and DA who know that crimes were committed but so far have been silent and apparently have chosen to do nothing.

 

2. This is the exact reason why the involvement of every taxpaying citizen in every community across the U.S. is not an option.  It is a civil responsibility.  There are criminals and traitors among us (on both sides of the isle), and they cannot be allowed to steal our money, for their pet projects and to put into their pocket.

 

Across the United States, it is important for property taxpaying Citizens and CAD Boards to conduct forensic audits and demand your state’s Attorney General to prosecute and to file formal criminal complaints on the CADs and individual employees within the CADs with the FBI, DOJ, & SEC.  These filings should be made very public and all the criminality brought into the light.



Repeal all property tax in favor of the Uniform States Sales Tax.

 


The Root Cause:

 

What is the root cause of the school district bond fraud? The answer is no accountability. Those in charge never cared one bit about their constituent’s ability to pay for the cost of the bonds nor did they bother to understand the ramifications of their actions. “The report we ordered and paid for said this will work”! Now those bonds and school districts face imminent bankruptcy, as do roughly 42,000,000 households, as a direct result of the compound cumulative effect of the interest on the fraudulent bond debt.

 

The power grid across the county needs updating because for at least 20 years proper capital improvements have not been made. Now comes the data centers (Private Enterprise) that in many cases do not pay property tax and requires enough power per data center to run a city. Isn’t it interesting that in order to upgrade the transmission lines, bonds will have to be raised.

 

Just one question:

 

We have proven the money does not exist today as 42,000,000 households cannot pay down the principle of the roughly $5.1 Trillion in outstanding fraudulent school district bonds, and housing is unaffordable for the majority of citizens as the tax requirement is roughly 8.6% of the households effective gross income as a result of compound cumulative fraud. So how exactly will the money exist tomorrow morning (literally) to pay for new bonds to improve the transmission lines across the country for private enterprise data centers that have yet to prove a return on investment or return of the investment?

 


Thomas Paine, the clairvoyant:

 

“... a thirst for absolute power is the natural disease of monarchy... To the evil of monarchy we have added hereditary succession... the first is a degradation and lessening of ourselves... the second, claimed as a matter of right, is an insult and an imposition on posterity.” - Thomas Paine, “Common Sense”

 

In modern translation, absolute power of the government picking winners and losers with taxpayer money, which is socialism, is a disease of the government. 

 

To the evil of the socialist government or socialists within the government, we have added hereditary succession which refers to the practice of passing down leadership roles, such as the belief in replacing one socialist with another socialist, which can lead to unqualified individuals, ruling simply because of their birthright (Trudeau – Bush - Clinton) and unyielding allegiance to the proven failed construct of socialism. This concept is criticized for being an unjust and unnatural way to determine leadership, as it does not guarantee that the successor will be capable, or deserving, of a position in government.

 

The first, degradation and lessening of ourselves, is what you see playing out in socialist communities where civil conversation is no longer available. See It Is Your Money That Is Paying for Their War on Civility.

 

The second, socialism, is unjust because it imposes a legacy of rule on future generations without their consent. No one should have the right to establish a ruling family or socialist policies that is favored over others indefinitely

 

Looking back 250 years, it becomes clear that the sacred fire of liberty as penned in the writings of Thomas Paine which burned in those hearty souls being the Founders of the United States of America was not only a flame that couldn’t be extinguished—it was an idea which was destined to change the world and it must be protected by codifying socialism as illegal. If the cancer of socialism is allowed to grow, so will the probability of civil war and or succession.

 


Gold's Resurgence:

 

The resurgence of gold validates the thesis that demand for non-sovereign, inflation-resistant assets is exploding. Investors "seek refuge in assets that lie outside the policy sphere altogether" when political actors treat interest rates, exchange rates, and sovereign debt as tools for short and or long term manipulation.

 

Organic Growth is sustainable growth. Manipulation of the population, being taxation to sustain the fraud of socialism, is dangerous.

 

It is about fraud, which is not in the pundits or analysts’ discussion or thought process.

 

It is about credibility which can’t exist as long as fraud of socialism exists. Credibility comprises the objective and subjective components of the believability of a source or message. Credibility is deemed essential in many fields to establish expertise. It must play a crucial role in journalism, teaching, science, medicine, business leadership, social media, and governance. In today’s society, credibility is lacking in the very elements that are necessary for society to thrive, and in every instance that lack of credibility has as its root the fraud of socialism. Restoring credibility, including in our currency, means eliminating fraud. Restoring credibility in our local communities means repealing all property taxes in favor of the Uniform States Sales Tax.

Perhaps no phrase is used more to describe the grievances of the colonists in the lead up to the American Revolution than “No taxation without representation!” This Article is an immediate follow-up to We Don’t Need Arguments…We Have Facts, Law & Math. DCAD and SPENCER have FRAUD!
March 13, 2026
Opposing counsel, officer of court, is attempting to mislead & lie to SCOTX, as truth is that he is not just acting as defense for SPENCER or DCAD, but is in fact aiding & abetting a criminal conspiracy to defraud, participating in scheme to settle cases with no basis in law, fact or math...ignoring law, facts & math.

One should be asking for what purpose have these frauds been created and allowed to exist without adjudication? Who got the benefit in terms of fees, salaries, and interest paid? Could the ultimate answer be to consolidate and control capital flows, and would that not be the definition of socialism?

401(k)s, Pensions, IRAs, federal, state, local gov all invest in municipal bonds (school bonds). Property tax is bankrupting Americans. Schools are bankrupt & continue to ask for more $ (bonds & property taxes). Appraisal Districts fraudulently raise property values. Investing in bonds is investing in fraud.

A list of frauds and some links to evidence of fraud is presented. The Hidden Propaganda socialist Model is used by both political parties. The common enemy is inflation & those responsible. None of this would exist if the government and courts were doing their job. So...Why Gold? Why Silver? Why Now?

Report by Mackenzie Eason can only be viewed as a whitewash, because the report is inconsistent & wrong: could not have looked at the requirements or math of USPAP, did not examine the software override allowing manipulation of values; and would take 3 cross examination questions to completely prove the whitewashing.

Being highly levered is an assurance of mass destruction. At the breaking point, will spin out of control, as everybody heads for the exits simultaneously. And it's not just Private Equity structures, but School Districts, that are over-leveraged, requiring bailouts/additional taxes to pay for their financial crimes.

When economists say the economy is good… which economy, who’s economy, Wall St economy or Main St economy? There’s recession, if not depression, on Main St. Mom & Pop are over-burdened by property tax assessments, inflated to cover school district bond debt & compound cumulative interest, that can never be paid off.

This Open Letter is a bit of a premonition given my experience with politicians, economists, and fraudulent reports. I could be wrong, but let’s see how this plays out in the next few days.

Clock's ticking. Every moment, that passes without property tax repealed & replaced w/ uniform states sales tax, more households are in jeopardy of bankruptcy or losing home. Are you in that position now; are you struggling w/ monthly payments; how much more property tax before you're forced to sell... or go bankrupt?
February 20, 2026
In Texas, the system itself (CADs, IAAO, TAAO, AG, TEA, State Comptroller, others) all violated the laws & framework they are supposed to represent. Violations enabled fraud to start & grow and are now necessary to feed compound-cumulative interest on fraudulent school district bonds. Vexler's suit exposes this & them.
February 19, 2026
NY Federal Reserve reported US household debt reached $18.8 Trillion in Q4 2025, up 1% ($191 Billion) from previous qtr. We are at the end, where the compound interest on top of the compounded fraudulent debt cannot be paid down or off. The math is the math... socialism ends when you run out of other people's money.

Roughly 42 mil US households are in harm’s way of bankruptcy or of losing the roof over their head due to property tax fraud & school district bond fraud.

1/30/2026 Supreme Court of TX requested response from opposing counsel representing Denton CAD. We expect opposing counsel will put forth same nonsense to prohibit adjudication of fraud being perpetrated against every real estate owner & every citizen in Denton County. Perhaps SCOTX now sees the Constitutional issue.

Following up on article “socialism is a Noun” I kept thinking about psychology of socialism & proof not just in fact that it was a con from inception, but proof of why it self-terminates when it runs out of other people’s money to steal.

There are many factors to consider with silver, gold, platinum (commodities).

So, who owns the bank?!

The 2 largest purveyors of fraud in the U.S. are the Federal Reserve & the School Districts which own the CADs and this is the Civil Rights issue of our generation.

State(s) Property Tax Codes are criminally violated, not just 1 or 2 sections of code, on an epic level, including failure to comply with Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice which is required in the code of law.

Every Citizen should be greatly bothered by any political party, official, or judge refusing to adhere to Constitutional law, as in the end, all citizens regardless of party affiliation end up paying for the fraud created.

There's a direct correlation to property tax fraud, silver scam, & printing of money via U.S. Treasury & Federal Reserve. The nexus is the creation of false value being fraudulent property valuation from which to steal tax revenue, fraudulent paper chasing paper from which there is no physical to back up the paper...

Your equity is being stripped while you sleep.
