Comments on: A New American Gold Rush

In The Dark Economy, There's A Silver Lining: Gold

They can get their paychecks--but if the system falls apart--what they have when they cash them--will make them worthless still. When money has no meaning --might and force take over--or cunning and stealth

I did get an education in economics and history, the difference between us is that I paid attention in class.

Okay, you should of explained yourself in the first place - let me guess, you failed english comp because you thought everyone could read your mind.

briannb...Like I said earlier: The only things of value in this situation [The imposed usage of fiat money] is land, seed, family, friends and the means to protect the other four.

...some people in Idaho were coining their own silver, I hear. Two of ''em got caught at a hockey game back east trying to buy beer with these coins. The Gov''t was P o''d and then came down hard.

History shows timt and time again that land cannot be "owned", especially since, as you say, it can be "repossessed", just ask any surviving members of the original people who lived here before the Europeans came. Own land? Can you take it with you when you travel, or when you die? If the government decides to build a road through your land, see how long you "own" it.

As for friends and family, the concept of ownership of humans died with the abolition of slavery, the only thing left of the four items that can be "owned" is seed, and if you own some, best find and work with someone who can at least temporarily control a plot of land.

I read that some of that gold was Britain gold, butttttt, after WWII the U.S. never returned it. They learned their lesson the hard way. The owners of the Gold will mostly likely have the same fate.

I remember reading stories in grade school of why old people in the depression hid money in quart jars and in the walls of their homes. In the 1800s and again in the early 1900s our gov.mandated that no individual could own gold or pure silver coins and had to turn them in for paper currency. Some people rebelled and hid money instead. People were to face imprisonment if they did not give up all of their gold and silver to be melted down--like boullion or SS, the government steals from the people, claims they will pay it back--later pass laws that say they don''t have to then later on--claim a program did not work or was bankrupt. But the shell game can only go on for sooo long--before the demand to see the ball ---takes over.

. . . I keep telling people my money is worthless, but they take it anyway. So, my word is solid, the government that is a different hairy creature of decept.

[b-easy63]

Think out of the box--or be forever constrained and give into to defeat--read the Foxfire edition--it tells people how to survive off the land and how to live more simply off the grid.

If you wait or expect a defunct government to help you--you will be fodder for those with better survival skills who do not give up or who take matters into their own hands and think of alternate solutions to problems.

[b-easy63]

Live off the grid --walk or ride a bike use hurricane lamps or candles--do what can be done in daylight and the day ends there ---or barter skills or stuff for fuel or a ride--it can be done and most importantly when money is not worth the ink that defines it--it will be done. Because results and tangibles are real--our money is only as good as our word--and we know how good that is not--don''t we? LOL

God''s law is for his bride the church--not governments. The only government God has claimed must serve Him is Israel. God does not expect mankind or countries to serve Him, but he does expect individuals to serve Him. Just looking for a few good men. the future/fate of the countries is already known to Him.

Read Revelations 18--see what is waiting for the greatest nation and merchant of them all--after "she" gets drunk on the fornication of her wars......guess who she is--she causes all merchants to be rich and is the ''luckiest'' place, she is the richest and most powerful--get a load of what happens to her--guess God did not like all of her wars... huh? Forget the usury--America has a lot bigger worries about God''s wrath than that. Only God can take lives--no version of scripture makes an exception for America.

Okay--been away for a while? The gold in Ft Knox was sold long ago--when against the Constitution, in the 1980s? The government decided to no longer back our money by gold--but by promise. Didn''''t you know that by now?

Best system is bartering--have good stuff or useful skills and learn the art of personal marketing--trade goods or services for items.

Posted by b-easy63

That advice is limited in worth. Can''t barter with big, corrupt monopoly corporation for oil and electricity. Better pray that a Clinton will get the White House (welfare system ballons), else shanty town U.S.A. here we come.

[b-easy63]

With Fort Knox loaded with the stuff, surely using some of that to pay back some of the debt would smooth the furled brow?

And of those four, the only one that can truly be "owned" is the seed.

Where is the heck did you get that logic? The land will be repossessed, your kin folk will be looking for charity, and the government will dictate where and when and what to seed. You need a college education in economics and history.

Not even then--for a wind or bird or water can carry a seed away--or a bug or fungus in the ground can destroy it. A seed is like ambition--full of potential, but unrealized unless carefully nurtured and if luck smiles on you.
