Monetary suicide by 'inflation'
The U.S. Empire may indeed collapse into chaos
sooner rather than later!
Investment demand for physical precious metals
has been robust even as official government (understated) measures of inflation
remain low. Investors are turning to gold and silver mostly as a safe haven.
Metals demand may increase as it becomes clear
to a wider population that prices for goods and services are rising quickly.
Inflation pressures are on the rise.
Dramatically higher prices for commodities and real estate are all signaling
that massive amounts of stimulus are beginning to seep out of the financial
markets and into the broader economy.
The signs of inflation building up in the casedemic economy are
now everywhere according to an IHS Markit report:
- "Inflationary
pressures intensified as supplier delays and shortages pushed input prices
higher."
- "The
rate of input cost inflation was the fastest on record ... as soaring
transportation and PPE costs were also noted."
- Amid
stronger expansions in output and new orders, manufacturers experienced
"significant supply chain delays, raw material shortages, and
evidence of stockpiling at goods producers" that "pushed input
prices up."
Yes, inflation is lurking in the shadows, and the government boys
and girls don't want you to understand it is coming... and the mainstream media
are not going to report it until it can't be ignored.
Partners in crime
Many things lie beneath the mystique of money besides greed and
fear. Most Americans think of money in terms of dollars. This fact demonstrates
the unbelievable power of propaganda over our thought processes.
Government(s) and their partners, the central banks, are involved
in history's greatest fraud and deception. They are stealing and have stolen
the wealth of the world with bank credit ("dollars") while forcing
the deception upon the people that they work no longer to build real wealth,
but to accumulate depreciating currency.
We "save" in depreciating currency. We buy life
insurance in depreciating currency. And we leave our estates in depreciating
currency.
Worth less
Did you know that in the progression of time, the U.S. currency is
depreciating toward zero? The public is trained to accept this as "rising
prices" or inflation, and rising wages. But it is more specifically
depreciating paper money. The powers-that-shouldn't-be allow us to believe we
"make more money" than we used to, but inflation means dollars are
worth less, and so everything costs more to buy, and our purchasing power
dwindles accordingly. However, they have learned through experimentation on us
that it makes people feel good to have rising wages vs knowing their money has
no value.
The entire world is now on this irredeemable currency standard
characterized by inflation and resulting in competing devaluations. What that
means is temporary advantage of one nation over another while all race toward
bankruptcy. See the U.S. and China today.
It's the modern version of national and international suicide.
What comes with this? Wars and suppression of liberty. Are we not
seeing this presently, and with great precision?
Gold allows no such monopoly of perception, and manipulation of
value and credit by central banks. Gold is a natural creation extracted and
fabricated by human production. It is not only long-term value, it is forever.
It survives the deception and tyranny of political governments that always turn
to dust.
As government dollars (credit) create immorality, gold supports
morality and honesty. Gold is the substance of economic survival. It is the
essence of privacy and the preservation of wealth.
The time will come again when we will think of gold in terms of
value and money, not "dollars." This will be a move back toward the
restriction of politicians and an expansion of and new birth of human liberty.
Governments hoard gold to stabilize their political and economic
power. At the same time, they downplay gold to the people to destabilize their
psyche and make them dependent on government credit which is being passed off
as real money.
Gold stabilizes human emotions, dissipates fear of authority, and promotes
individualism and human dignity. Government-created money (credit) destabilizes
emotions, creates fear of unseen authority, creates political tyranny, and it
expropriates the wealth of the people.
The critical point in awareness is reached when the people en
masse realize that inflation is permanent. The result is that they quickly
exchange cash for "things," as they did in Greece a few years ago.
Greek businessmen exchanged their devalued and inaccessible currency for
machinery and equipment, and people bought appliances and cars. Eventually,
this results in economic breakdown and social chaos.
What do you 'know'?
There are many ways to extend the life of paper
money. The foremost is by controlling information — a monopoly on what you
"know." The monetary authorities suppress the price of gold as long
as they can; they manipulate public perceptions with a fabricated consumer
price index (CPI); they remove monetary indicators like M3; and they constantly
talk about "managing inflation."
By now you have heard of the Federal Reserve's
"2 percent goal" for inflation. And somehow, they seem to always come
up with an official number right around their target. Curious? Not when they
control the calculations and media reporting on the results of the calculations.
And, yes, they constantly talk about the debt ceiling and limiting the national
debt.
All this
is spurious nonsense, as anyone listening can hear the money printing presses
roll in the background around the clock. Note that the government and its politicians
never talk about the depreciation and loss of purchasing power of paper money.
With the debasement of the currency goes the debasement of morality.
The U.S. Empire may indeed collapse into chaos
sooner rather than later. If it does, that would be a good thing. We can go
back to being "America" again. Even so, I suspect they know what we
know — that collapsing currency finally creates crisis in spite of statist
propaganda. Therefore, they must have contingency plans because their only purpose
it to retain power at all costs.
The government reacts to its interpretation of
public perceptions which are closely monitored, now very much more closely
since "social media" has taken over everyone's waking consciousness.
At some point, a segment of the population will become aware of the
worthlessness of paper money and trigger an alert to the greater population.
This foretells monetary crisis and social chaos. What will the government do? I
would guess that the government will announce some sort of quasi gold standard
which, at this point, will probably be fictional and it may or may not calm the
people. If it does not bring calm, further action will be announced.
By this time, there will be many new population
controls and perhaps some negative propaganda directed at "hoarders,"
gold owners, etc. We are already seeing people who are part of the liberty
movement in this country hounded, oppressed, called "terrorists" and
"enemies" who must be reprogrammed or exterminated. All is in
preparation for this time of fake social crisis to cover up for the theft going
on during the very real monetary crisis.
Precious metals
And guess what? At some point, the government
will have a serious need for gold and silver to back a new currency. I don't
think officials will announce that gold (the metal) will be used currently as
money. Instead, a more likely event is to announce new currency with gold
backing.
Silver money issued through 1964 will be used as
emergency money because by that time we will probably be on plastic money since
our current junk coins will have disappeared (according to Gresham's Law, which
states that bad money runs good money out of circulation). Even now, this event
is rearing its head. Even junk money has metal in it worth more than the
exchange value. The little copper and nickel left in our coins, i.e., junk
coins, are worth more as metal than money.
The government will need gold. Then, it may
become known that there is no gold in Fort Knox.
What will the government do?
1. Confiscate gold in all bank deposit boxes and
as much as it can get from individuals.
2. Nationalize all gold and silver mines.
3. Confiscate all exchange traded funds (ETFs);
gold and silver. By that time, this will be a huge bag of gold and silver, and
they are watching it. You don't think they will do it? Study history!
What are some options for
you?
Currency is faith itself — a belief system. When
you think of money or currency, you think of green paper, but 95 percent of
"money" is computer symbols in bank computers. More specifically,
your money is a pure psychological entity that evaporates as confidence fails.
Gold is substance. It is hard currency. It is
the only hard currency.
Gold stands on its own.
If your pension or retirement fund is in the
form of computer symbols in some bank, and it is, you might want to consider
putting a percentage in gold coins to keep in your possession. It may turn out
to be all you have. And brother, this is not fear hysteria when you understand
how fast things can implode into financial disaster. ETFs may or may not hold
gold. A bank may or may not give you access to your gold, and may let the
government confiscate it from you. Keep your gold!
For gold to be all that we say it is, it needs
to be in your possession. We don't mean in your "safe deposit box" at
the bank, and we certainly don't mean in some "trust" account. It
should be in your private safe with other valuable effects.
When obtaining gold, it is essential that you:
- Obey
all laws as far as possible.
- At
some point in time (you to be the judge), begin to sell mining stocks and
buy more gold and silver coins. How will we know? Watch the propaganda and
look for new controls.
- You
should already have food storage and barter items, as well as alternative
power.
- Educate
those you care about as to the mechanics of survival. Not many will listen
as long as they perceive no crisis.

Quarter of Americans believe it’s time for U.S. to split into
separate red, blue countries
Proposals have called for
essentially giving Democrats and Republicans their separate states and
countries.
When disaster strikes, no one ever knows when things will
return to normal again. In some cases, there may be the possibility of things never
truly returning to normal. With this being the case, it’s a good idea to stock
up on foods that are meant for the long haul.
Before we begin, it’s important to note
that these foods will only last 20 or more years if they are properly stored in
conditions that are dry with stable temperatures and limited light exposure.
You can learn more about that in our list of 10 things that will destroy your
food storage.
With that said, here are 20 survival foods that can last at
least 20 years...
