Ron Paul (gold standard) vs Bill Still (fiat money)

I like Ron Paul, especially his foreign policy concepts, but I am deeply concerned about his ideas when it comes to the US monetary system.
He advocates returning to the gold standard which would supposedly eliminate current problems with the US dollar. On the other hand, there is this guy, the creator of the Money Masters (a REAL eye opener), Bill Still and his Monetary Reform Act.

I strongly feel Mr. Still is right about this one. History has shown every time the gold standard was adopted, poverty and depression followed. It is true that the fiat currency system has been abused many times but in priciple it is a valid idea - money does not need to have ANY intrinsic value by itself. The quantity of money in circulation should be a matter of simple regulation, sadly up until now it has mostly been a matter of manipulation. But properly implemented thru the Congress, the concept of fiat money is valid.

Like Mr. Still says: the Austrian economists (Ron Paul, Peter Schiff et. al.) are absolutely correct in identifying the problem (the FED money monopoly), but their proposals for rectifying it thru the gold standard are faulty.

The FED as it is right now is surely a malevolent creation and should be blown to bits, as it is the enemy of humanity, not only of the American people.

Your take on control of money creation and the gold standard?
