What a great advertisement for owning gold as far out of your government's reach as possible. I'm sold.
 

Tsundere,

They'll simply make it illegal to own gold at some point. Just give them time.
 

The Blackadder Says:

Looks like price controls are on the horizon.
 

think we'll need a war to get out of this one? (by that I mean government)
 

I was telling people this was coming back in 2001, before the U.S. government-staged 9/11 attacks. It's not hard to figure out when one genuinely knows Austrian economics and when one has one's head screwed on straight.

And in reading the writings and public stamements of the globalist elite, it was all the easier to know what would be happening now, since they spelled it all out well before it occured and stated the reasons why they would do it.

If I can tell a person what T.V. show will be playing at a certain time the next day on a particular channel, it's not because I'm clairvoyant, it's because I read the TV Guide. It's not hard to figure out what's coming next if one simply reads the globalist elite's publically-stated goals. They've been quite open about where they're taking us and the underhanded methods which they would use to bring us here (even being quite open about staging future attacks, such as their 9/11 attack), and so far it's all lined up rather well for them.
 

If we have a Great Depression II does that mean prices will fall (meaning all the Austrian economists who were predicting rampant inflation will be wrong)?

Or will it be like the stagflation of the 1970s, where we'll have high unemployment and high inflation?
 

As an Australian, I didn't realize how insane the Fed was until I discovered it's trying to bail out the WHOLE WORLD (not just America):

Sukrit, overall prices don't hardly ever fall when there exists a fiat currency. The dominate trend is ever-greater debasement of the currency.

Due to the somewhat convoluted structure in which our present fiat currency is implemented, it is technically possible for a small amount of the currency to be bought back by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury by using what they call assets, but that only has ever happened on a scale so small as to hardly even be noticeable.

In short, the only direction for the value of the currency to go is down, just as it always has in the main.

The goal is to bring the U.S. to its figurative knees. The U.S. dollar is going to be blown out. It will be worthless within a few years. The plan is to create either a North-American or Pan-American dollar, or better yet, roll it into a world currency.

This has all been planned for a long time (i.e., at least circa the 1950s), going by the globalist elite's public writings on this matter.

The U.S. government has publicized its intention to totally dehumanize mankind and make us lower than heads of cattle with a "brain chip" that will track and trace our every move and transaction while also allowing behavior modification:

"[By the year 2025] The civilian populace will likely accept an implanted microscopic chips that allow military members to defend vital national interests."

That quote comes from Chapter 4 of "Information Operations: A New War-Fighting Capability," contained in Volume 3 of Air Force 2025: Final Report by the U.S. Department of Defense (August 1996).

Air Force 2025 is the final report on a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Defense presented on June 17, 1996 which seeks to identify the technologies and practices that will need to be implemented by the year 2025 in order for the United States government to "remain the dominant air and space force in the 21st century."

The report actually uses the term "brain chip" for the implantable microchips which can perform a number of functions such as satelite tracking at all times, personal information storage and retrieval, and behavior modification, among other things. You can actually find the above quote at the below Maxwell Air Force Base, Montgomery, Alabama website (archived by Archive.org):

Excerpt from the above:

""
Broadcasts to the Brain

By 2035, an implantable information chip could be developed and wired directly to the user's brain. Information and entertainment choices would be accessible through cognition and might include synthetic sensory perception beamed direct to the user's senses. Wider related ICT developments might include the invention of synthetic telepathy, including mind-to-mind or telepathic dialogue. This type of development would have obvious military and security, as well as control, legal and ethical, implications.

Concerning the technological feasibility of the "brain chip[s]" which the U.S. government desires to implant everyone with: a cashless society wherein all transactions are tracked and recorded using an implant is already technologically possible with radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips, such as the implantable Digital Angel and VeriChip (the latter of which has been FDA-approved for implantation in humans, also called VeriMed), both by Applied Digital Solutions (of which company was funded by IBM).

United States Patent 5,629,678, "Personal tracking and recovery system," Gargano, et al., May 13, 1997, Appl. No.: 08/371,089, Filed: January 10, 1995 http://web.archive.org/web/20000815100814/http://www.digitalangel.net/graphics/05629678.pdf
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5629678.PN.&OS=PN/5629678&RS=PN/5629678

The above is the patent for Applied Digital Solutions' Digital Angel, an implantable Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking chip. Note that the patent application was filed on January 10, 1995, over a year before the publication date of Air Force 2025: Final Report by the U.S. Department of Defense (August 1996). Thus, regarding the use of implantable chips to track and record people's every move and transaction, the Department of Defense was merely writing concerning technology that was already available.

And in case you're thinking that the U.S. government is a benevolent master which can be trusted with the absolute power it is seeking, as concerns the already brutal malevolency of the U.S. government, in the below post by me I provide massive amounts of documentation wherein the U.S. government itself admits it is holding innocent people indefinitely without charges (including children and U.S. citizens), torturing them, raping them--including homosexually anally raping them--and murdering them, and that the orders to do so came from the highest levels of the U.S. government:

And I thought *I* was thinking outside the box. Wow, You all are deep. Pretty disturbing ideas for sure.

They wont make it illegal to own gold so much as require all gold to have an ID # to be bought and sold. Just like with ammo.

Modified and manipulated biological organisims do not need prior permission to be implanted into anybody. Take one of those deep sea insects, tweek its DNA and wha-la, the perfect weapon/controller chip.
 

It's the end of the world as we know it, for sure.

The question is if we who know better will allow the demagoguerous socialists to take the helm, or if we will, by reason or other action mutiny.

I favor mutiny by any means necessary.

As Patrick Henry said, "Give me liberty, or give me death."

Standing before a precipice means one of two things: step off or step back. Sure, a third option might be to stay put, but that can't last, so its forward and down or back onto safety.
 

not an economist said They'll simply make it illegal to own gold at some point.
Catherine Austin Fitts, in a February report mentioned in a discussion with a precious metals dealer that GATA wrote a letter to the Treasury asking if they reserved the right to confiscate people's gold. The Treasury replied, "We reserve the right to confiscate everything."
