Over the last 10/12 years, I have done a
large amount of reading and research into history and world events -
post 1900. With my dealings around the world in Arms, I have met many
very interesting people who have shared ideas and information with me on
world events both past, present and future possibilities. What I want
to say now, is a culmination of many years of gleaning as much
information as I can about world events and information currently being
provided by friends/business colleagues around the world.
It is necessary for me to paraphrase
much of what I have so it may seem rather "short on detail' , but if you
wanted any more information/detail, I'd be happy to provide it.
Firstly, money has no intrinsic value;
and really, neither has Gold as it is a controlled market. The American
Federal Reserve {FED} have been printing monopoly money for 75 years and
there is no backing to this currently - other than people's "faith" in
the dollar. It has been a contrived financial system based on the
Petro-Dollar and a debit based economy. Karl Marx said 'war is inherent
in Capitalism". This is because capitalism needs to expand , based on
debt driven greed and waste, in order to survive. There comes a time
when this "bubble" cannot be sustained - rather like blowing a large
soapy bubble; it grows and grows until a point whereby the surface
tension cannot sustain it's continued expansion. Then it bursts. The
American economy is such a bubble - already America cannot ever hope to
repay it's debt. The way out of this conundrum, is to devalue the
dollar - let it free fall. Then countries like China, Japan etc who are
holding huge amounts of American debt will effectively be holding
useless paper money. The FED, after seizing what real value is in the
country by way of foreclosing on mortgages, loans and collection of
businesses etc, will simply print a new currency. Ala Germany with the
Deutschmark and the new Reichsmark. Depressions are generated to
redistribute wealth. Take from the middle class and poor and give to
the 10% of the wealthy.
America has been heading along this
path of controlled devaluation since the middle of last year - the FED
stated in December that the dollar needed to drop 33 1/3rd % .
The issue here is, a controlled devaluation is a fairytale; external
forces and other markets will cause a run which cannot be anticipated or
controlled. Japan is onto this and they have been printing money [like
the FED has] and effectively devaluing their Yen in unison with the US
Dollar. This has caused the FED to complain strongly - but there is
little that they can do about it - China and Japan have already begin
trading each other's currency [So too, Russia and China] rather than
using the Dollar as the unit of trade, further weakening the position of
the US Dollar.
However, a collapse of the US dollar
will cause major problems for the countries that are holding huge
amounts of American debt - China and Japan especially as both of these
counties have supported their balance sheets with US debt. Wipe of that
debt and they are bankrupt! This will trigger worldwide depression as
the two major industrial powerhouses of the world cannot pay for goods.
Switzerland and Germany have requested
their gold be returned from Fort Knox - world markets and countries
around the world are becoming very nervous. Switzerland would be
regarded as one of the cagiest financial counties in the world - why now
demand their gold back? The FED refused a German audit of German gold
reserves being held by the FED - why??
Speaking with business partners I have
in the States, they are not "alarmists or kooks', but they are alarmed
and very concerned over current events. The establishment of the
Department of Homeland Security [DHS] is a major concern to many in
America. THE DHS are not trained police, they are not trained military,
they are people who have been "especially vetted" as to their loyalty to
the flag [government]. The DHS has recently placed an order for a
further 450 million 10mm Hollow Point ammunition bringing their
"stockpile" to almost a thousand million. [what's that? A Billion in
Yankee talk?]. There are approximately 300 million citizens in America -
the question being asked is "what does the DHS need a billion rounds of
ammunition for?". Further, my partner asked me to provide them with
Meals Ready to Eat [MRE - military style ration]. When I asked him why
they haven't got any in the US - his answer was that the DHS has been
buying them up. Again, people are asking "why does the DHS need MRE, and
in such high numbers?".
The answer put forward to these
questions is quite logical. With a depression of the scale that is
planned, the government cannot rely on the loyalty of the Police, after
all, they will have their Super schemes wiped out, their saving gone and
their families will be in the same boat as the rest of the middle
class. Hardly conducive to loyalty! The Army will fair no better -
perhaps worse as many who have been recently fighting a war on behalf of
the FED [controlled government], will see the stupidity and
pointlessness of their sacrifices. Because of that, it is important that
the US return it's troops from Afghanistan and reduce the size of it's
standing army so that there is less of a threat from an organised armed
group. That leaves the trusty and loyal DHS to protect what the "haves"
have and keep the have not from getting it. A frightening scenario.
With money being worthless, there is no
point whatsoever in having a bank account - in fact, the more money you
have in the bank, the better the governments will like you. So easy to
reduce wealth with a stroke of the pen and a closing of the banks
doors.
The only hedge against the possible
coming gloom is to store tradable. Food [long term storage food] and
commodities that people need are what current money should be invested
in. This 'investment" is better than money in the bank. Consider the
rate of inflation and check out the rate of inflation of food! It will
not get cheaper and will hold it's value. What was $1 in current
currency will be worth say $50 in any new currency. It will still be
worth more than paper value and it is a necessity! Other things that can
be stored and traded are certainly worth considering and investing in -
especially medicines which will become very hard to procure.
Now, if the worst does not come to pass -
what's the problem? The items stored are not spoilt and can be used
progressively in lieu of spending money for them later. It is in effect a
form of compulsory saving and a hedge against inflation - you will earn
more than leaving the money in the bank. Consider also, that shares are
a very risky investment in the current market - companies go tits up
just like everyone else. Holding shares in a bankrupt company doesn't
sound like a great deal.
Personally, I think that the planned
time frame for this devaluation is the demobbing of the large standing
army [returned troops from Afghanistan], but with current world unrest,
events may precipitate a collapse quicker than the FED are planning it.
My free and honest advice is, prepare
for a depression and if it doesn't come, you haven't lost anything -
rather you have made a wise investment.
