What distinguishes the present period of speculation in Europe is the universality of the rage. There have been gambling manias before corn manias, railway manias, mining manias, banking manias, cotton-spinning manias – in short, manias of every possible description; but at the epochs of the great commercial crises of 1817, 1825, 1836, 1846-’47, although every branch of industrial and commercial enterprise was affected, one leading mania gave to each epoch its distinct tone and character. Every department being invaded by the spirit of speculation, every speculator still confined himself within his department. On the contrary, the ruling principle of the Crédit Mobilier, the representative of the present mania, is not to speculate in a given line, but to speculate in speculation’, and to universalize swindling at the same rate that it centralizes it. There is, besides, this further difference in the origin and growth of the present mania, that it did not begin in England, but in France. The present race of French speculators stand in the same relation to the English speculators of the above-mentioned epochs as the French Deists of the Eighteenth to the English Deists of the Seventeenth Century. The one furnished the materials, while the other produced the generalizing form which enabled deism to be propagated over the whole civilized world of the eighteenth century. The British are prone to congratulate themselves upon the removal of the focus of speculation from their free and sober island to the muddled and despot-ridden Continent; but then they forget the intense anxiety with which they watch the monthly statement of the Bank of France as influencing the heap of bullion in the sanctum of the Bank of England; they forget that it is English capital, to a great extent, which supplies the great arteries of the European Credits Mobiliers with the heavenly moisture; they forget that the “sound” over-trading and over-production in England, which they are now extolling as having reached the figure of nearly £110,000,000 of exports, Is the direct offspring of the “unsound” speculation they denounce on the Continent, as much as their liberal policy of 1854 and 1856 is the offspring of the coup d’état of Bonaparte. Yet it cannot be denied that they are innocent of the breeding of that curious mixture of Imperial Socialism, St. Simonistic stock-jobbing and philosophical swindling which makes up what is called the Crédit Mobilier. In strong contradistinction to this continental refinement, English speculation has gone back to its coarsest and most primitive form of fraud, plain, unvarnished and unmitigated. Fraud was the mystery of Paul, Strahan & Bates; of the Tipperary Bank of Sadleir memory; of the great City operations of Cole, Davidson & Gordon; and fraud is the sad but simple tale of the Royal British Bank of London.
For a set of directors to eat up a company’s capital, while cheering on its shareholders by, high dividends, and inveigling depositors and fresh shareholders by fraudulent accounts, no high degree of refinement is necessary. Nothing is wanted but English law. The case of the Royal British Bank has caused a sensation, not so much on account of the capital as on account of the number of small people involved, both among the shareholders and depositors. The division of labor in this concern appears to have been very simple, indeed. There were two sets of directors, the one content to pocket their salary of £10,000 a year for knowing nothing of the affairs of the Bank and keeping then, consciences clear, the other intent upon the real direction of the Bank, only to be its first customers or rather plunderers. The latter class being dependent for accommodation upon the manager at once begin with letting the manager accommodate himself’. Beside the manager they must take into the secret the auditor and solicitor of the Company, who consequently receive bribes in the shape of advances. In addition to advances made to themselves and relatives in their own names, the directors and manager proceed to set tip a number of men of straw, in whose names they pocket further advances. The whole paid-up capital amounts now to £150,000, of which £121,840 were swallowed directly and indirectly by the directors. The founder of the Company, Mr. McGregor, M.P. for Glasgow, the celebrated statistical writer,” saddled the Company with L7,362; another director and Member of Parliament, Mt.. Humphrey Brown of Tewkesbury, who used the bank to pay his electioneering expenses, incurred at one time a liability to it of £70,000, and appears to be still in its debt to the tune of £50,000. Mr. Cameron, the manager, had advances to the amount of £30,000.
Every Year since the bank went in operation, it had been losing £50,000, and yet the directors came forward every year to congratulate the shareholders upon their prosperity. Dividends of six per cent. were paid quarterly, although by the declaration of the official accountant, Mr. Coleman, the shareholders ought never to have had a dividend at all. Only last Summer, fallacious accounts to the extent of over £370,006 were presented to the shareholders, the advances made to McGregor, Humphrey Brown, Cameron & Co., figuring under the abstract head of Convertible Securities. When the bank was completely insolvent, new shares were issued, amid glowing reports of its progress and a vote of confidence in the directors. This issue of new shares was by, no means contemplated as a desperate means of relieving the position of the bank, but simply to furnish fresh material for directorial fraud. Although it was one of the rules of the charter that the bank was not to traffic in its own shares, it appears to have been the constant practice to saddle it, by way of security’, with its own shares whenever they had become depreciated in the directors’ hands. The way, in which the “honest portion” of the directors pretend to have been duped, was told by one of them, Mr. Owen, at a meeting of’ shareholders, as follows:

“When all arrangements for starting this concern had been made, Mr. Cameron was appointed our manager, and we soon found out the evil of having a manager who had never previously been connected with any, bank in London. By reason of that circumstance arose a number of difficulties. I will state what occurred two years and some months ago when I left the bank. Why, shortly, before that time, I did not know that there was a single shareholder indebted to the bank to the amount of £10,000, either for discount or advances. I at one time heard a whisper of some complaints that there was a large sum due by one of them on account of discounts, and I asked one of the bookkeepers as to the matter. I was told that when I shut the parlor door I had nothing to do with the bank. Mr. Cameron said that no director must bring his own bills to be discounted before the Board. He said that such bills should go to the general manager, for if they were brought before the Board we should never get merchantile men of high character to bank with us. In this ignorance was I until one occasion, when Mr. Cameron was taken so dangerously ill that he not expected to recover. In consequence of his illness, the Chairman and some of the other Directors made some inquiries which disclosed to us that Mr. Cameron had a hook with a private key which we had never seen. When the Chairman opened that book we were all indeed astonished.”

It is due to Mr. Cameron to say that, without waiting for the consequences of these discoveries, he, with great prudence and promptitude, expatriated himself from England.
One of the most extraordinary and characteristic transactions of the Royal British Bank was its connection with some Welsh Iron Works. At a time when the paid-up capital of the Company amounted to but £50,000, the advances made to these Iron Works alone reached the sum of £70,000 to £80,000. When the Company first got possession of this iron establishment it was an unworkable concern. Having become workable after an investment of something like £50,000, we find the property in the hands of a Mr. Clarke, who, after having worked it “for some time,” threw it back upon the bank, while “expressing his conviction that he was throwing up a large fortune,” leaving the bank, however, to bear an additional debt of £20,000 upon the “property.” Thus, this concern kept going out of the hands of the bank whenever profits seemed likely to come in, and kept coming back to the bank when fresh advances were required to go out. This practical joke the Directors were endeavoring to continue even at the last moment of their confession, still holding up the profitable capacities of the works, which they say might yield £16,000 per annum, forgetting that they have cost the shareholders £17,742 during every year of the Company’s existence. The affairs of the Company are now to be wound up in the Court of Chancery.’ Long before that can be done, however, the whole adventures of the Royal British Bank will have been drowned amid the deluge of the general European crisis.

The Eleventh Marble

THE ELEVENTH MARBLE

by Michael Rivero
Any five-year old child knows that if you put ten marbles into a tin can, you can only take ten marbles back out. No amount of wishful thinking, dreaming, or praying, will yield that eleventh marble from inside that can. That eleventh marble does not exist. It never did, and it never will. All discussions about the eleventh marble are the product of imagination. The eleventh marble is a fantasy.
Private central bankers issuing the public currency as interest-bearing loans operate on the belief that they can put ten marbles (dollars) into a tin can (the world) and magically get 11 marbles back out. Thus, we may conclude that the bankers are dumber than five-year old children! But unlike five-year old children, the bankers will take your home, your business, and your nation when they don't get that eleventh marble! The spoiled child may cry and throw a tantrum, but that will be the end of their upset. The spoiled banker, however, in his or her arrogant rage that they cannot have the eleventh marble their imagination says must still be in that tin can, may start a war before they will admit that eleventh marble was never really there.
Economies are like tin cans. Before you can take a marble out, you must have put a marble in. Nobody can give you a marble that does not exist, yet this simple reality is lost to the priests of that fantastic religion called banking in that unholiest of temples called the IMF. Their religious doctrine seems to be that there must always be an eleventh marble inside the tin can, and that the tin can unfairly withholds that eleventh marble, indeed cheats them of their right to the eleventh marble, purely out of spite. That faith in the existence of the eleventh marble, unseen and improvable, is the article of faith the religion of banking rests on. It is far easier to burn the heretics than to question the dogma.
Today we see the bankers, having already retrieved their ten marbles from the tin can, flogging the world for that missing eleventh marble. Greece does not have that eleventh marble, so they turn to Germany and ask, "Do you have an eleventh marble", and Germany replies, "Sorry, but the bankers already took the ten marbles they put in our tin can, and we are searching for an eleventh marble ourselves. Try the Americans." The Americans, of course, have only just surrendered the last of their ten marbles back to the bankers and are looking under seat cushions for that missing eleventh marble nobody seems able to find.
But the eleventh marble will never be found. After all that mayhem brought down on the tin can there still will be no eleventh marble. It does not exist. It never did, and it never will.
The problem with all modern reserve banking systems is that the moment the first bank note goes into circulation as the proceed of a loan at interest, more money is owed to the banks than actually exists. Ten marbles have been put into the tin can, but the bankers see 11 marbles owed back to them. Sooner or later the non-existence of that eleventh marble will create a crisis of faith. People will stop believing in the religion called private central banking, and that crisis of faith will bring the system crashing down, as did the Temple of Baal in ancient times when the Syrians saw through the priests' trickery. This evil magic of creating money out of debt was a fraud all along, as fraudulent and silly as the idea that one can put ten marbles into a tin can, and take out eleven.
In ages to come economists will look back at this failed experiment in debt-based currency, and dump it into the same category of human folly as Tulip mania, The Nation of Poyais, Credit Mobilier, the Great South Seas Company, and Mortgage-Backed Securities.

Gold Will Be A Safe Haven During A Melt Down

Behold A Pale Horse

Imagine America The Way It Was Meant To Be...

Imagine America the way it was meant to be.  Imagine every man and woman were the boss of his own life;  the authority in his own home.  Imagine schools that taught your kids the facts of our existence on this earth instead of repeating dogma and fairytales.  Imagine news media that had to tell the truth and be factual; where lying was outlawed.  Imagine a country where health was a priority.  Medicines would be supplemental to your health instead of money making schemes that leave you worse after you take them than before.   Imagine a homeland where people were treated like human beings instead of like cattle.  Where the Chief Executive was accountable to the people and not unseen special interests; where the legislature was in counter-balance to the Executive instead of there to rubber stamp his orders.  Our legislators would give a voice to the people not just quietly go along with the power elite.   Imagine if no person were allowed to retain public office for more than 2 years and they were not allowed to become rich at the expense of the country.  Where the Supreme Court acted with the good faith of the people instead of the person that appointed them to the post.

We don't want or need a King, Emperor, dictator or leader.  What most people want is to be left alone.

Wouldn't it be nice if government were not allowed to act or contemplate action in secret.  Where all items were a matter of public record instead of hidden behind closed doors.  Secrets would be illegal.  Every person would have the right to know what is going on in his country.  This nation belongs to the people of America not to the U.N., international organizations or anyone else.  Why?  Because we paid for it with our blood, sweat and tears.

It is we, the people who give the opportunity to serve.  Not, they who we must serve.  If there is a doubt about that read the Declaration of Independence or ask anyone on the street.  Therefore, as long as our servants wish to remain in office they must continue to serve in the people's utmost best interest and no one else'.  And we shall decide what that interest is.

When we vote for a new Chief Executive we have a right to know that that person is qualified to hold office and that who we choose to replace him is a person of our choosing not the choice of foreign organizations or corporations.  Imagine if we could actually, fairly, choose our own leaders and representatives without outside interference.

Imagine a nation where welfare was not used to make people helpless but instead was used to help people get on their feet.  Imagine a military that was highly trained and effective and was used to protect the people from outside enemies instead of the enforcers of corporate interests and private profits.  Imagine where drug addiction was treated like an illness instead of a crime.  Where police and military had better things to do than chasing after phantom criminals and minor infractions of the law.  Imagine a place where business and competition was a good thing and corporations that could not compete were allowed to fail.

Imagine a country where love reigned supreme and love between a man and a woman was considered sacred.  Where children, the product of love, were appreciated and where the family was protected and nurtured not questioned and despised.  Imagine living in a place where the food and the water were not poisoned and you could grow and sell naturally grown things as you liked.  Fast Food places would be outlawed for posing a serious health risk to the population.

Imagine a place where police forces were safety and protection officers not enforcers of arbitrary rules and laws.  Imagine a place where prison was only meant to protect society from those who posed a danger not a source of cheap labor and punishment.

Imagine a country where you could travel cheaply and safely any time you liked without being questioned or harassed.  Imagine you had the God given right to defend yourself without fear of prosecution.  Imagine if we used real money instead of paper notes.  Where banks operated for the people instead of for themselves.  And where banks were not allowed to lend more money than they had.

Imagine a country that did not differentiate its citizens by the color of their skin.   Where people were people and not billboards for racism or any other political agenda.

And You Thought That You Owned Your Body?

The Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto

(As Excerpted from www.libertyzone.com)

The 10 PLANKS stated in the Communist Manifesto and some of their American counterparts are... 

1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.
Americans do these with actions such as the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management (Zoning laws are the first step to government property ownership)
 
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Americans know this as misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. We call it "paying your fair share". 
 
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Americans call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes. 
 
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Americans call it government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process. Asset forfeiture laws are used by DEA, IRS, ATF etc...). 
 
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional reserve banking.
 
6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.
Americans call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations. 
 
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
Americans call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture… Thus read "controlled or subsidized" rather than "owned"… This is easily seen in these as well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations. 
 
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
Americans call it Minimum Wage and slave labor like dealing with our Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. Communist China. We see it in practice via the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.
Americans call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136. These provide for forced relocations and forced sterilization programs, like in China.
 
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
Americans are being taxed to support what we call 'public' schools, but are actually "government force-tax-funded schools " Even private schools are government regulated. The purpose is to train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based "Education" . These are used so that all children can be indoctrinated and inculcated with the government propaganda, like "majority rules", and "pay your fair share". WHERE are the words "fair share" in the Constitution, Bill of Rights or the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26)?? NO WHERE is "fair share" even suggested !! The philosophical concept of "fair share" comes from the Communist maxim, "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need! This concept is pure socialism. ... America was made the greatest society by its private initiative WORK ETHIC ... Teaching ourselves and others how to "fish" to be self sufficient and produce plenty of EXTRA commodities to if so desired could be shared with others who might be "needy"... Americans have always voluntarily been the MOST generous and charitable society on the planet.

In The Future There Will Be No Football

In the future there will be no football or rock n roll or picnics.   There will be no public displays of affection and there will be no laughing out loud.  That's right, you will be living in a grey colorless world of work and rest.  Your music will be monotonous, your women will be fat and useful.  Your men will be small and useless.  Your children will be snitches and your friends will be just like you.

I first had a glimpse of your future when I sneaked into East Germany because I wanted to see what it was like.  I won't bore you with the whole story.  But let me just say it was so horrible that I could not use the toilet for 4 days.

I had my eldest daughter with me, she was only 7.  When she saw a huge sculpture of Karl Marx's head looking down on us she began to cry.  We were in Karl Marx Stadt.  Today it is called Chemnitz.  My hosts lived in a small two bedroom flat, one for the parents and one for their teenage son.   In the toiletless bathroom (the communal toilet was in a closet in the outside hallway) was a noisy meter that clicked every second to remind you of how much electricity you were using.  The more power you used the faster it clicked.  My hosts almost fainted when I plugged in my daughter's hair dryer and the clicker began clicking away at a fast pace.

In the future you will live in a fascist state made to appear as a socialist state.  What is the difference?  Socialism is when the people make money and are forced to give it to others of the society.  Corporations pass their profits and their losses on to society.  In a fascist state any profit of the corporation is kept by the corporation and any loses are passed on to the people.  You will live in a fascist state veiled as a socialist state similar to what they now have in Europe.  By the way, in a capitalist state the corporations keep their own profits and endure their own losses.

In Europe only certain species of fruits, vegetables and meat may be sold.  One shop has the exact same stuff as any other shop.  All of those items are distributed by the same company.  There is no competition and there is no variety.  This goes for everything with a very few slight variations.

In such a state you will be forced to buy things from state sanctioned companies.  This will include phone service, electricity, fuel, food, medicines, health care, clothing, appliances, housing, etc.  Competition will not be tolerated.  No natural foods, no natural medicines, no supplements, no alternative treatments, no alternative news, no alternative energy, etc.  Innovation is completely stifled.  This system is run through a group of Public / Private Partnerships and NGO's (non-governmental organizations)

Recently, I was in the planning stages of setting up a recycling plant to fuel.  I thought to place this plant in a Kansas town that was on the decline.  They directed me to a Public / Private owned industrial park nearby.  Upon contacting those people, I was informed that they had no space for my kind of operation.  This is very typical in Europe.  Now it is becoming the norm in the U.S.

On with the story of your future.  The worse part is that in the future sports such as football, baseball, tennis, golf, NASCAR racing will be made illegal because they place too much emphasis on self reliance and not enough focus on the hive mentality.  Instead you will be forced to play games such as handball, soccer and other sports that rely on non-competitiveness and less individual effort.

All public events, concerts, shows, productions, displays must have the government's stamp of approval.  Even books and films must be accredited by the government.  There will be no truly private enterprise, private efforts or competition with the government.  If you do not have the government's seal of approval you will be shut down or not allowed to show your material.

We see this everyday in Europe.  Now it is coming to America.  The state or one of its official monopolies will be your partner in every venture.  Any loses will be passed on to the people.  Friends of the state will receive no bid contracts and protection from competition.  And if you complain you will be punished for being disruptive.

In your future globalism and environmentalism will be your new religion.  Christianity,  Islam and Hinduism will be disallowed because they emphasize a one on one relationship with God instead of a group think mentality.   If you practice Christianity you will be ridiculed and ultimately terminated.

Instead, you will be made to participate in massive rallies for the Earth and all its animals who will have equal rights in a court of law.  Bestiality will be permitted.  Eating meat will be outlawed.  Instead you will be forced to eat meat substitutes.  As a result, people will be smaller.  Women will be bigger than men.  (Doesn't this sound like Paganism).

In Europe there are no wild animals.  Most of them have been killed to protect more docile species that are more profitable and manageable.  Wild breeds are too unpredictable and vary in size, and color.  All of the fish, pork, chicken, fowl and beef, come from the state sanctioned factory.  Nothing comes from non-factory sources.  Almost all the vegetable and fruit varieties are  unlabeled GMO.  As a result there is no variety and prices are not market driven but artificially and arbitrarily controlled by trade organizations.

People will not live in houses.  Instead they will live in apartment blocks.  These blocks will be small with small electric appliances, smart meters and they will be expensive.  ( I am told that in Moscow private single family dwellings are unheard of.  Germany plans to do away with single family homes as well).  They will have a small balcony instead of a yard.  Heating and cooling will be centralized so that there can no be wasted heat.  If you are hot you must remove your clothing.  If you are cold you must wear a sweater or a jacket.

Bath tubs will no be present.  Instead there will be a drain in the bathroom floor so that you can rinse yourself off and save recycled waste water.  Toilets will also be low volume so as not to waste precious water.  Drinking water will be recycled waste water.  Fresh water will be owned by the U.N. whether in clouds, on the surface or below the surface.

Speaking of clothing, sizes and styles will be limited.  It is up to the person to make sure that he can fit into the available sizes.  And variety will be limited so that no person will feel better than anyone else. The idea of using natural materials such as leather, wool and silk will be reserved only for the leaders.  Common folk will have their clothing made out of synthetic fabrics.

Activities such as hunting, fishing, sailing, playing catch, playing tag and running will be outlawed.  You will be allowed to participate in state run exercise programs.  Personal creativity will not be allowed.  Laughing, singing, telling jokes, tickling, barbecuing will be against the law.  Drinking alcohol and taking recreational drugs will be allowed.  And studying to be a clown or street performer will be an acceptable profession for young people.

Private cars will be outlawed for the public.  Instead mass transit will be the norm.  Taking buses and trains will be the practice.  Bicycle riding for transportation will be an accepted practice as one can see in Copenhagen and elsewhere.

Handicapped persons will live in group homes and well out of the way of public view.  Genetically, handicapped persons will not be allowed to breed and will be sterilized.  You will see young youthful persons working and going to government run retraining classes.  The elderly will be placed in homes out of the way and away from public view.  Elderly will be anyone over 40 years old.

People will no longer bother to get married.  Child birth will be a licensed event.  There will be no families.  Children will be raised by the state.  Attendance at public schools and vaccines will be mandatory.

I think you get the picture.  In the future there will be no money.  Instead there will be a system of credits and debits which are given at birth.  When a person is born he will have so many years to pay off his debt or taxes to society for being born.  This will be a cashless society, strictly monitored so that you do not live much past the time it takes you to pay off your debt.  "Carousel" will be implemented as part of your obligation to society.

In some circles this scenario sounds like music to their ears. They openly advocate it.   In fact this form of society has already been implemented in Europe, China and now America. All countries are going to the cashless society as we speak.  They have made it illegal for cash transactions more than 2500 Euros such as in Spain.  Research it and see for yourself.  If you want to protect yourself from being forced into this paradigm you must own gold and silver.  Otherwise, resistance will be futile.

Buy your gold here.

What Is A Straw Man?

What is a straw man?  I don't know.  But here are a few things to think about.

When you were born your parents were told that your birth had to be registered.  They did not know that when you register anything it becomes owned by the registrar.  At that point a legal fiction was created similar to a corporation.  This corporation had the same name as you do only it is distinguished by the name being spelled in all caps.

Take a look at any of your id and you will see a name representing you spelled in all caps.  That is because all transactions are contractual.  The contracting parties are the fiction known as you and who ever else you are contracting with.

When you sign or appear under that name you are saying that you represent and that you stand for the fiction known as your fictional character or corporation or Straw Man, name spelled in all caps.  Don't believe me?  Look it up.  But now for the shock of your life.  The United States that you think you live in is not the same united States that the founding fathers formed.  That country, which was an assembly of states went into bankruptcy in 1933 and has been in bankruptcy ever since.   Meanwhile, another corporation with the exact same name in all caps was created.  The "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA".  It is that entity that we all deal with and they are under Maritime Law as evidenced by the flag with the gold fringe around it.

The next time you see an American Flag, notice whether or not there is a gold fringe around it.  My suggestion is that you look this all up for accuracy.  But one thing for sure is that what you think has value and what you think does not is not what is being promoted in movies, on TV, music videos and in the media.  Its a sham.

The same applies to your money.  What you believe is wealth is in fact receipts for true wealth.  Wealth has traditionally been held as gold and silver for thousands of years.  The notes or bills we call and use as money is really not money.  It is like a check.

In the scope of things this information does not change anything.  But in terms of your own preparation you may want to consider a more secure form in which to hold your wealth.

We sell affordable gold here.

The Burning Match Theory

I first came across this idea from Jack Straw.  It says that all the economy is like a burning match.  He who holds the match the longest makes the most money.  Unless the flame burns him, in which case he loses all.

The party who first strikes the match stands to make the most money.  As he does not want to get burned he sells his investment to another party who makes the decision to buy it based upon how much money the first party who struck the match made.

Now that the first party is monetized again, they can go on to another match and do the same thing knowing that they will always make money with little or no risk.

The new party who owns the match takes a bigger risk by holding the match long enough to get closer to the flame.  He then sells the match to successive buyers each one taking more and more risk.  Closer and closer they get to the flame.  Till they can feel it.

The interesting thing is that through techniques of mind control, fraud and out right lying the end buyer is tricked into buying the burning match even though there is no match left.  This is what has happened to the public.  Step by step the public has bought into a match where there was no money to be made.  The public is burned.  Ouch!

But the story is not over yet.  Now that the match has burned the public and the public has lost its appetite for the investment, the first party who struck the match buys the burned up, blackened, charred remains of the match.  They spruce it up, new paint, new laws, new names and strike it again.  Once again the process starts all over again.

This burning match would not be so devastating if  the truth were known.  But when the sellers of the match deceives the buyer, it is possible to deepen the loss by selling the match that has already reached its end.

This has happened in the money markets.  Money must be in finite supply, not easy to duplicate and in a form that is easily exchangeable.  When there is money a bank can hold that money for you and allow you to withdraw it at will.

To facilitate transactions banks will accept checks or paper with the signature of the depositor on it.  This allows the owner of the money to transfer it to another party easily.  The receiving party simply shows up at the bank, presents the signed check or paper and the money is transferred or withdrawn by the new party.

What has happened is that so called central banks have cast themselves as everyone's banker.  They have printed their own checks call bills or notes and allowed people to exchange those papers with each other representing the deposits.  Only problem is that the central banks can print as much paper as they want regardless of deposits and they can fractionalize it meaning they can print more paper representing more deposits than they actually have.

One last step in this deception.  All the paper in circulation is created not against deposits of real money but they are made by borrowing against future money or wealth.

So, the papers or checks floating around as money really is not money but only a representation of money.  And those papers are representations of money that does not really exist either on a fractional basis or a borrowed against future money basis.

What you call cash is not money.  It is only a representation of money which theoretically will be made in the future.  How big is that amount?  It is in the quadrillions worldwide and it can never be paid back.  The accounts can never be settled.

Let me add one last component into this nightmare scenario.  Inflation.  Inflation is the method that governments use to take cash out of your pocket.  It is completely invisible.  In some circles if it is invisible it is considered to not exist.  But it is still there.  How do you know?  If you have to pay $1000 for a loaf of bread then you know what inflation is.  Think the Weimar Republic of Germany, Zimbabwe, Argentina, Soviet Union and plenty more.

Solution: One must have cash to pay for things.  But one must also have something that will maintain its value, can not be inflated away, can not be forged, can not be faked, can not be invisibly stolen.  One needs real money.  Gold and Silver are real  money.  Open your free account here.

Is The EU The Number One Stunna?

PLEASE! I live here in Spain. Why are Americans so stupid? I have lived in Europe for the past 12 years and I have watched how these people systematically inflated their balloon and then popped it in front of the world. They whined about fascism. Then they whined about socialism. Then they were fooled by the socialists who wasted and stole the money with crappy food, crappy schools, crappy money, crappy socialist programs, crappy medical, crappy social policies and laws and regulations.

The people were forced to join the EU that no one wanted. It was shoved down their throats. Now they want a one world government to save the planet? This is nothing more than the Three Card Monty. Any thug in the streets of New York knows that trick. But you still watch the TV trying to figure out the game. Right. Are you that dumb?

You deserve to lose everything. You constantly allow yourselves to be scammed and can not see the forest for the trees. You are so busy watching the Monty that the thief can pick your pocket while you watch.

The EU raced to harmonize everything in Europe from the roads to the bridges to the train stations to the shopping malls to the airports. I wondered why everything was exactly the same in every town and city of Europe. Where did that money come from? It came from the tax payers by borrowing against tax revenues.

That's right. Over here we have all new rail lines, new tunnels, new airports, etc. They never talk about that on the news. The news shows you cars burning in the middle of the street. People marching through the streets holding hands. People angry and wanting jobs. School kids wanting books and desks. Wait a second. It is true that we have no money in Europe. But more to the point is the little known fact that the people of Europe have no backbone. That was bred out of them a long time ago. (Did you know that almost all protests and so called natural disasters in Europe are contrived? They are orchestrated by our own government? This is not just a theory but a fact. But I digress.)

We have no industry in Europe, It has all been shipped to China or India. You all thought the new Airbus A380 would spark growth and jobs and homes and families. How could the development of one airplane employ millions of people and save the day. What a joke. I grew up in New York City. I know a scam when I see one.

And we in Europe just like America kept spending money and buying Chinese goods and believing that there was a thing called free medical. As I teach my kids, there is no such thing as "free".

So we elected these bums who are communist and socialist, believing they would take care of the people. They financed these fantastic projects with our own money, created an artificial bubble, fake hope and then they popped it.

I have one question: Where did the money go? Answer: They stole it.

For example, in Barcelona they have a brand new airport just like in Malaga, Gibraltar and every place else in Europe. We have a high speed rail line just like every other country in Europe that no one uses. It costs billions. These gentlemen and ladies hired their own construction companies to build these massive projects with the people's money.

My little village of 3000 people has a number of unfinished projects started by the Junta; hospital, senior citizens residence, housing for battered women, worthless museum, etc. Just the shell of these buildings sit for years with signs stating how the Junta financed them.

The money was allocated but now it is gone. So all over Spain and Europe unfinished projects collect dust and they say there is no money to complete them. We elected the socialist politicians because of these projects. These are not socialists or communists. These are thugs like you can fine in any urban area.

They throw around the people's cash like someone in a rap video.

It is even worse in Central and Eastern Europe like Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia etc. They have never seen prosperity in the last 100 years. They too are part of the EU.

People in Scandinavia have no money either. They hide their poverty very well. All stolen. And you Americans sent your trillions here to help us out. That money was stolen as soon as it arrived. The people never even knew you had given us any money.

My point is, there are no accidents in this world. This was deliberate and is nothing more than thievery disguised as economic calamity. Will you allow this to happen to you in America? Are you a "number one stunner"? Or will you stop buying into the hip hop hype and protect yourself with real money.

Urban Warfare

O.K. The final countdown has arrived. Slowly but surely America is marching towards Marshall Law. Inside sources reveal that the government has been preparing for years for the imposition of Marshall Law. What does that mean? It means that certain freedoms and rights will be taken away for your protection by the military.

There are two issues that immediately come to mind: 1. What will trigger such an event? 2. What can you do to prepare yourselves?

We do not know what will trigger Marshall Law. It could be some sort of natural disaster like an earthquake or hurricane. It could also be man made like a riot or nuclear explosion. In either case the people would turn to violence and law and order will have to be restored by the military in order to maintain the integrity of the country.

This means for our readers that you must begin to arrange your affairs now so that you will be able to avoid unnecessary trouble later.  While the focus of this blog has been on financial preparation you must not overlook the need for food, housing, security and safety.

We firmly recommend you stop watching TV which is designed to hypnotize you and prevent you from taking action.  Listen to the radio, read, talk, meet while you still can.  Take some sort of action.

Discuss the situation with your family and friends. This is not a secret. Make sure you all know what to do in the event of an emergency. Do not think that weapons will save you. Most likely guns will be outlawed. The use of a gun will most likely get you killed. I know this goes against what popular opinion says. But under a Marshall Law scenario you will have no rights. The military will be called in to make sure that you comply. And I do believe under the right circumstances our people in uniform will do what they are ordered to do.

Where I live we have no right to carry guns or weapons of any kind. Still in my home my family including the kids carry knives in a holster. This teaches us the limitations of a weapon and keeps us aware of what true defense is and not to rely on a false sense of security that can be had by a weapon. Remember, the best weapon in the world sits on top of your neck, your head.

What about the roving gangs? This is a real threat. You can expect that a segment of the population will try to take advantage of the situation. The police will not be able to respond in each and every case. My advice is if you must stay in place, your presence must be defendable and it is better to see them before they see you. A locked door will not be sufficient to protect you.

How can you defend yourself without a gun? Most crooks are predators of opportunity. They seek the easiest targets where they think they can control the outcome. If your life is at risk you must use whatever means necessary to survive. But if you engage in a gun battle chances are that a helicopter gunship will take you out.

I suggest that you hunker down in a safe room. Attract as little attention as possible and make yourself as inconspicuous as possible. As someone who has been involved in gang wars in another life I can assure you that thugs will not bother with a target that is risky or not rich enough to attract them.

It is far safer to be in the countryside than the city. However, people who live in cities have experience and know how to avoid trouble. Have you ever seen the typical security of a New York City apartment? They have bars on the windows and doors. I highly recommend this sort of passive protection. I also recommend a dog. We have two dogs. One has a very loud deep bark. The other is a yappy monster. That yappy monster is the more dangerous of the two.

If you are in an Urban or Suburban setting, initially, you must be prepared to spend the first two weeks inside without water or electricity. This means that your food and water will have to be stored. Set it up so that you can see out and no one can see in. If the police come cooperate. They will not have time or patience to comfort you.

Band together with your neighbors. A block defense is far more secure than if you try to secure yourselves on your own. Put your elderly and children in the safest place possible. Able body people need to be ready to take up positions on the perimeter.

When my family and I have been in difficult situations we used our children as observers because kids notice all sorts of things that older people can not see or hear. We also feigned fake cameras, attacks, withdrawals, movements to confuse our adversary. We booby trapped our house perimeter not to cause injury but to let the bad guys not be so sure that they knew what was on the other side of that door.   A little bit of doubt goes a long ways.

You might say we were out manned and out gunned.  So we used our experience in an urban setting to confuse the adversary and keep them off balance.  They never knew what to expect from us.  We were supposed to be their victims.  But we acted like a bunch of crazy people.  This created a bubble of time which made our attackers think twice.

I might also say that we prayed a lot.

Many of you think that this will be a race war.  That it will only affect black and Hispanic people.  Let me tell you this.  If you think that race will make a difference you are totally deluded.  This will be a TV event similar to the 911 event.  What are the images that will make you say "thank God for the government"?  Will that be images of poor black people looting or will it be images of people just like you being victimized?

This will be a made for TV event.  The producers of that event want to persuade you to go along with their plans and ideas for a one world government.  Remember the Hegelian Dialectic:  problem, reaction, solution?  They want you to react.  How are they going to get you to react by showing images of poor colored people?  You are used to that image already.  What you are going to see is good middle Americans suffering and begging for government intervention.  That sort of manipulation is what its all about.  And if "a few egg shells have to get cracked" along the way, so be it.  That's how these folks roll.   They whole heartedly believe that the end justifies the means.

We are not here to try to change the course of events.  That is not within our control.  We are here to help you survive.  Katrina was a testing ground.  Now the main event is about to unfold and you are the star. 

If you are one of the fortunate people who survives the first two weeks you and your family can begin to make arrangements for a longer range survival plan. But I can tell you this. Part of any longer range plan must include a financial system for barter and trade. As you know we sell gold in small amounts. I also suggest that you begin storing pennies and junk silver in case you can not afford gold. If you want to make a deal you must have something with which to trade.

I recommend that you buy your affordable gold from us. Why do I say affordable? We sell gold by the gram. That means that for about $70 you can own a 1 gram gold bar, 999.9% fine gold, with certificate of authentication. You can take delivery or store it in our vault in Switzerland. To open a free savings account go here.

This is a very unpleasant subject.  But it is far better to be mentally prepared than to sit watching the boob tube and dreaming of a life that has long since disappeared.  Your adversary has used his time wisely and prepared in every way with Billions of Dollars to work with.  Don't you think you should do a little planning too?  

May God Bless You.

Are Gold Prices Manipulated?

From GoldSilver.com:

Silver price manipulation and gold manipulation has been alleged through out this bull market.  This premise has been one of many reasons why gold and silver advocates have urged the public to accumulate precious metals.

The story begins on September 29, 2008 when the Wall St Journal reported that the CFTC would begin investigating allegations that 2 big banks had been controlling a large part of silver’s short positions-or bets that prices will decline-on the COMEX.

Since then the CFTC has issued press releases every now and then confirming that the investigation is ongoing.  Click here for latest release.  The CFTC has been reluctant to give a final ruling.  This has only added fuel to the fire of speculation of some sort of conspiracy.
The silver manipulation story gets weirder.  A London based precious metals trader by the name of Andrew Maguire became a whistle blower who revealed via an interview with GATA in April 2010 that silver manipulation does exist, confirmed JP Morgan Chase and HSBC as the main culprits and went so far as providing the SEC the algorithm used to suppress the price of silver based on the movement of gold.  For three straight days his algorithm correctly and precisely tracked the price.  The SEC should have had all they needed.  That was the “smoking gun”. No charges were nor have been brought forth.

Andrew Maguire is quoted as saying, "JPMorgan acts as an agent for the Federal Reserve; they act to halt the rise of gold and silver against the US dollar. JPMorgan is insulated from potential losses (on their short positions) by the Fed and/or the U.S. taxpayer."

Maguire was even involved in a freak hit and run accident the day after his name was revealed at a CFTC hearing.  Maguire of course believed it was an attempt on his life.  It’s hard to argue especially when the authorities have refused to name the assailant and file charges against the assailant after having apprehended him and helicopter cameras watching the whole scene unfold from above!

But all this doesn’t matter anymore. Or at least it shouldn’t.  While investigating the specifics on the bill advancing gold and silver as legal tender in the State of South Carolina’s website, we came across a study that was conducted by South Carolina’s State treasurer.  The study was intended to provide state officials with advise on whether or not the State should invest State Pension funds in gold and silver.  But what the document revealed was much more than that.

The state document acknowledged collusion between the Federal Reserve, the London Bullion Market Association, JP Morgan Chase and HSBC have engaged in artificial price suppression of gold and silver prices through massive naked short positions.

Day Of Water - March 22, 2012

According to the U.N. there is not enough water on the planet for the people.  Their solution is to grab control of this vital resource in the form of clouds, rain, aquifers and rivers and streams.  Next they wish to recycle waste water (toilet water) with fresh drinking water.  Then to finish it off they plan to ration water supplies.

With these people there is always a shortage of something.  A shortage of peace, a shortage of freedom, a shortage of food, a shortage of land, a shortage of health, a shortage of fresh air and now a shortage of water.

The shortage of fresh water is another way of  saying that there is shortage of Nitrogen.  One could get the impression that their true intent is to destroy man kind.  We know from facts that Polio, Small Pox, HIV, Cancer (SV 40) and other pandemics were spread by the vaccines that were meant to prevent them..  But magically, the U.N. is mute when it comes to GMO's, Chemtrails and so on.  More than a year later the people of Haiti still have no homes, the people of New Orleans have never returned to their homes and Fukushima still poses a threat to the people of the globe.  Isn't it a threat to global stability if legitimate world leaders and regimes can be eliminated because we disapprove of their policies such as in Libya, Egypt, Pakistan and elsewhere.

If the U.N. wants to take over our resources is there any reason to believe that they can manage those resources better than we ourselves can?  Chances are that if this global organization gets a hold of your stuff you would be well advised to be prepared to protect them.  Their track record is horrendous.  Now they are coming for you and they want to tax you to do it.

This is all fine and dandy except for one simple fact.  There is no shortage of water.  There may be a distribution problem or the fact that commercial products and commercial farming techniques lead to the pollution and desertification of land masses.  An example would be Coca Cola using up fresh water to make coke and leaving the people the choice of either drinking bottled beverages which they produce or polluted waste they also produce.

What about petrochemicals.  There is no shortage of oil  In fact there is a glut of oil.  Yet, oil fields are deliberately being closed and under developed to keep the prices high.  What is the U.N. doing about that?

Africa has no shortage of water yet 5 million children per year die due to a lack of fresh drinking water.  What is wrong with this picture?   Zambia is a world leader of copper yet its per capita income is between $1000 and $5000 per year.

Could it be that the U.N. is a spoiler agency?  Their purpose seems to be to justify their own existence, kill as many people as possible and make sure that the rich and powerful stay that way.

Recent revelations demonstrate that American and European fresh waters have been polluted by hundreds of toxic materials including fluoride, chloromin, pharmaceuticals, etc.   All of these measures serve to place the U.N. in a dominant position to manage the resources in question.  This has become the justification for confiscating the water above your property as well as beneath the surface.

If necessary global war will be orchestrated in order to demonstrate the need for supra governmental control.  Once again the Hegelian Dialectic is alive and well.  Problem - Water shortage; Reaction - global warfare; Solution - Centralized governmental control.

The point is, whether you will be a victim or a survivor?  Aside from the obvious, we suggest that you hold your assets in gold or silver.  Store these assets in Switzerland until needed.

Learned Helplessness

What is the purpose of providing "free" health care?  What is the purpose of bombing Palestinians into oblivion?  Why try to force a people to take deadly vaccines?  Why starve your own people?

The effect of the 911 attack, hurricane Katrina, Joplin tornado, Fukushima Nuclear disaster, Gulf of Mexico oil platform blow out, the Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004,  the terrorist attacks of the 70's,, the various wars, the oil crisis of the 70's, the Great Depression of 1929 the various financial bubbles, unpredictable weather patterns, mass pandemics such as HIV, the plundering of Africa for its riches and now the coming fresh water crisis and many other challenges had one thing in common: it made the people feel HELPLESS!

We are promised daily of future catastrophies by the government and its sidekick, the news media.  All of these threats are intended to create a feeling of helplessness and dependence on them for our survival.  Whether these threats are real or imagined, intentional or accidental they have the same effect.  They serve the same purpose; scare the the people back into the fold; sort of like herding sheep.

Margaret Meade found when she was exploring many Pacific Island cultures that they had no word for murder.  The concept of one human deliberately taking the life of another was not even in their consciousness.  That means that there was no threat of such a thing happening.  Today, we accept this evil reality along with the possibility that weather, war, terrorism and shortages can be deliberately engineered by the group that has the biggest gun.  We have no concept of life without catastrophe or the threat of catastrophe.

One can not just blame it on greed or even some sort of psychopathic intent.  If that were the case someone would just set off a Nuclear Holocaust and do away with us all.  Some learned nuts are calling for just that.  But in the minds of the truly Satanic they enjoy the suffering, whether from an act of God or at the hands of mankind.  They enjoy watching people become HELPLESS.  They do not just want to cull the herd.  They want to watch it suffer.

Have you ever heard of a government passing laws for the benefit of the people?  Sure the laws will be entitled with some kind words.  The the intention of these laws are to usually do the exact opposite of what they say.  Such as the "Monetary Stabilization" law or the "Feed the Poor" law, or the "Give Everyone a Birthday Party" law.  How about "No Child Left Behind", The Emancipation Proclamation or Affirmative Action? But in reality all of these laws, rules, declarations, policies and measures have the opposite intention and effect.

This means that the powers that be are afraid.  They are afraid that they may be wrong and that in fact humankind is capable of taking action to take care of itself and no longer need them.  If you can build your own homes, grow your own food, heal your own illnesses and think your own thoughts, you have no need for them.  

From where this writer sits in Europe I see Europeans as being totally dependent.  They are a people with one thing in common; "Learned Helplessness".  Is that you?  Have you learned to be helpless?  Do you suffer from "Normalcy Bias".  Or have you any natural instincts to protect yourself and your family?  Are you a bleating sheep squawking about how unfair the tax laws are or how you have no money or how much fuel cost?  If so, you could be suffering from Learned Helplessness.  Unless you are willing to protect yourself now.

Children are especially vulnerable to this strategy of teaching people to be helpless.  Human children are dependent on their parents and families for a longer period of time than most other species..  They are easily influenced by scenes of helplessness.  Look around you and you will see a continuous stream of images and messages all saying the same  thing.  "You need us."  How do you teach a child to have hope and an expectation of abundance when all the media, schools, TV programing and movies tells them otherwise.

Once the illusion of dependence has been introduced into a society it is very difficult to get it out.  Self-pity and feeling sorry for ones self is insidious.  This very issue can be easily seen in black Americans who have been told how pitiful they ought to be because they have suffered through racial prejudice and slavery.  That then becomes the excuse to be dependent on the State to make up for the hardship they have had to endure.  Once again helplessness has taken hold.

What about peoples of the former Soviet Union or Eastern Europeans who have had to undergo massive suffering and then are reminded how they suffered so much and how important the government is to take care of them.  Is this the reason that suffering is a necessary component of government in order to maintain control?

The teaching of helplessness is used by government to control populations.  Now that suffering has come to America as it has been used all over the world throughout the ages.  China, Cambodia, Sudan, Palestine, Serbia, Indonesia, South Africa, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, Japan, Poland, Bulgaria, Greece and more are examples of places where learned helplessness has been used to undermine the people.

What can you do?  We do not have much time before the last act of this drama on Earth will be played out.  It is up to you to decide if it will be a tragedy or a triumphant adventure.  As Confucius said, "It is impossible to step into the same river twice".  Was he wrong?

Why Is Sweden Like The Star Ship Enterprise?

Why is Sweden like the star ship Enterprise?  Sweden is almost a cashless society.  Having lived there I speak from experience.  If you want to know what is coming just look at Sweden or Denmark on the one hand or Africa on the other.  Its called the carrot or the stick routine.

I hate to pop your bubble but Sweden is not this wonderful society of large breasted blonds.  That is a myth like so many other myths.  Sweden is a country whose people pay at least 50% income tax and more.  It has a King and Queen.  Swedes are known for their religious consumption of alcohol.  (Don't believe me?  Denmark has laws against drunk Swedes in the main train station.)

All the liquor stores are owned and operated by the government.  Many Swedes are obese, depressed, take anti-depression medication and are incredibly boring.

Read this article to see how Sweden is supposed to be so advance because they are going to a "cashless" system just like Denmark and Norway.  In Denmark the card is called "Dankort".
Sweden Goes Cashless


I believe you can expect that one day soon the cashless society will be offered to you in America as a solution to the Fed.  It is not a solution but a trap to give you less control over your own destiny and hand more control of your money and labor to your government.

The "Free Medical System" they talk about is another trick.  They use this system to force everyone to have to register where he lives just as they do in Scandinavia.  Every Scandinavian must carry a medical card that has a number and tells everything about them.  This is the way that the government can keep track of who is where and can decide who to help and who to eliminate.  I know because I used to live in that system.  I know how the system works.

In Scandinavia, you will see no retarded kids, no autistic kids and few old people.  The Scandinavians hide their mistakes from public view and prefer to talk about how they are the friendliest, happiest most kissing people on the planet.  (Are we talking about the same people?).

Breast Cancer is through the roof.  Infertility is through the roof.  Food is all GMO and despite plenty of information to the contrary, cell phones, they call mobile phones, are promoted as the end all be all of the society.  They have more cell towers than pay phones.

The idealistic vision as portrayed on "Star Trek" is nothing more than the United Nations masquerading as The Federation Of Planets.  They use Sweden, Denmark and China as their show pieces of what can be accomplished by centralized government control.  But what about "Freedom", "Liberty", "self-reliance" and "Independence"?  What about "Individualism"?  These concepts are non-existing in the 24th Century just as they are nonexistent in Scandinavia, China and were absent from the Soviet Union.

Has anyone seen what the U.N. has done in Africa?  Why is the U.N. there killing, sterilizing and trying to control the wealthiest place on Earth.  Could it be because they want to control all natural resources such as water, air, copper, silver, gold, etc.?  Mind you the U.N. has announced last week that they own all fresh water resources on the planet.  Do you dare to disagree with them?

We are not cows to be taxed and then butchered.  We are humans made in the image of God and should not be herded like goats but left alone.  Try telling that to Captain Jean Luc Picard.

No, they can not leave us alone.  After all without us there would be no need for them.  Sure Star Trek is a nice propaganda show about their wonderful new world.  But the fact is we already know what they want to do.  We do not like what we see.  Is Ben Bernanke part of the old worn out Hegelian Dialectic.  Problem, Reaction, Solution.  Or is he just incredibly misinformed? "Beam me up, Scotty".  This place is full of large breasted blonds and not a human among them.

10 Reasons Why The Reign Of The Dollar As The World Reserve Currency Is About To Come To An End

The U.S. dollar has probably been the closest thing to a true global currency that the world has ever seen.  For decades, the use of the U.S. dollar has been absolutely dominant in international trade.  This has had tremendous benefits for the U.S. financial system and for U.S. consumers, and it has given the U.S. government tremendous power and influence around the globe.  Today, more than 60 percent of all foreign currency reserves in the world are in U.S. dollars.  But there are big changes on the horizon.  The mainstream media in the United States has been strangely silent about this, but some of the biggest economies on earth have been making agreements with each other to move away from using the U.S. dollar in international trade.  There are also some oil producing nations which have begun selling oil in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which is a major threat to the petrodollar system which has been in place for nearly four decades.  And big international institutions such as the UN and the IMF have even been issuing official reports about the need to move away form the U.S. dollar and toward a new global reserve currency.  So the reign of the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency is definitely being threatened, and the coming shift in international trade is going to have massive implications for the U.S. economy.
A lot of this is being fueled by China.  China has the second largest economy on the face of the earth, and the size of the Chinese economy is projected to pass the size of the U.S. economy by 2016.  In fact, one economist is even projecting that the Chinese economy will be three times larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2040.
So China is sitting there and wondering why the U.S. dollar should continue to be so preeminent if the Chinese economy is about to become the number one economy on the planet.

Over the past few years, China and other emerging powers such as Russia have been been quietly making agreements to move away from the U.S. dollar in international trade.  The supremacy of the U.S. dollar is not nearly as solid as most Americans believe that it is.
As the U.S. economy continues to fade, it is going to be really hard to argue that the U.S. dollar should continue to function as the primary reserve currency of the world.  Things are rapidly changing, and most Americans have no idea where these trends are taking us.
The following are 10 reasons why the reign of the dollar as the world reserve currency is about to come to an end....

#1 China And Japan Are Dumping the U.S. Dollar In Bilateral Trade
A few months ago, the second largest economy on earth (China) and the third largest economy on earth (Japan) struck a deal which will promote the use of their own currencies (rather than the U.S. dollar) when trading with each other.  This was an incredibly important agreement that was virtually totally ignored by the U.S. media.  The following is from a BBC report about that agreement....

China and Japan have unveiled plans to promote direct exchange of their currencies in a bid to cut costs for companies and boost bilateral trade.
The deal will allow firms to convert the Chinese and Japanese currencies directly into each other.
Currently businesses in both countries need to buy US dollars before converting them into the desired currency, adding extra costs.

#2 The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) Plan To Start Using Their Own Currencies When Trading With Each Other
The BRICS continue to flex their muscles.  A new agreement will promote the use of their own national currencies when trading with each other rather than the U.S. dollar.  The following is from a news source in India....

The five major emerging economies of BRICS -- Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa -- are set to inject greater economic momentum into their grouping by signing two pacts for promoting intra-BRICS trade at the fourth summit of their leaders here Thursday.
The two agreements that will enable credit facility in local currency for businesses of BRICS countries will be signed in the presence of the leaders of the five countries, Sudhir Vyas, secretary (economic relations) in the external affairs ministry, told reporters here.
The pacts are expected to scale up intra-BRICS trade which has been growing at the rate of 28 percent over the last few years, but at $230 billion, remains much below the potential of the five economic powerhouses.

#3 The Russia/China Currency Agreement

Russia and China have been using their own national currencies when trading with each other for more than a year now.  Leaders from both Russia and China have been strongly advocating for a new global reserve currency for several years, and both nations seem determined to break the power that the U.S. dollar has over international trade.

#4 The Growing Use Of Chinese Currency In Africa
Who do you think is Africa's biggest trading partner?  It isn't the United States.

In 2009, China became Africa's biggest trading partner, and China is now aggressively seeking to expand the use of Chinese currency on that continent.
A report from Africa’s largest bank, Standard Bank, recently stated the following....

“We expect at least $100 billion (about R768 billion) in Sino-African trade – more than the total bilateral trade between China and Africa in 2010 – to be settled in the renminbi by 2015.”

China seems absolutely determined to change the way that international trade is done.  At this point, approximately 70,000 Chinese companies are using Chinese currency in cross-border transactions.

#5 The China/United Arab Emirates Deal
China and the United Arab Emirates have agreed to ditch the U.S. dollar and use their own currencies in oil transactions with each other.

The UAE is a fairly small player, but this is definitely a threat to the petrodollar system.  What will happen to the petrodollar if other oil producing countries in the Middle East follow suit?

#6 Iran
Iran has been one of the most aggressive nations when it comes to moving away from the U.S. dollar in international trade.  For example, it has been reported that India will begin to use gold to buy oil from Iran.

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran are not likely to go away any time soon, and Iran is likely to continue to do what it can to inflict pain on the United States in the financial world.

#7 The China/Saudi Arabia Relationship
Who imports the most oil from Saudi Arabia?  It is not the United States.  Rather, it is China.

As I wrote about the other day, China imported 1.39 million barrels of oil per day from Saudi Arabia in February, which was a 39 percent increase from one year earlier.
Saudi Arabia and China have teamed up to construct a massive new oil refinery in Saudi Arabia, and leaders from both nations have been working to aggressively expand trade between the two nations.

So how long is Saudi Arabia going to stick with the petrodollar if China is their most important customer?  That is a very important question.

#8 The United Nations Has Been Pushing For A New World Reserve Currency
The United Nations has been issuing reports that openly call for an alternative to the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency of the world.

In particular, one UN report envisions "a new global reserve system" in which the U.S. no longer has dominance....

"A new global reserve system could be created, one that no longer relies on the United States dollar as the single major reserve currency."

#9 The IMF Has Been Pushing For A New World Reserve Currency
The International Monetary Fund has also published a series of reports calling for the U.S. dollar to be replaced as the reserve currency of the world.

In particular, one IMF paper entitled "Reserve Accumulation and International Monetary Stability" that was published a while back actually proposed that a future global currency be named the "Bancor" and that a future global central bank could be put in charge of issuing it....

"A global currency, bancor, issued by a global central bank (see Supplement 1, section V) would be designed as a stable store of value that is not tied exclusively to the conditions of any particular economy. As trade and finance continue to grow rapidly and global integration increases, the importance of this broader perspective is expected to continue growing."

#10 Most Of The Rest Of The World Hates The United States
Global sentiment toward the United States has dramatically shifted, and this should not be underestimated.  Decades ago, we were one of the most loved nations on earth.
Now we are one of the most hated.  If you doubt this, just do some international traveling.
Even in Europe (where we are supposed to have friends), Americans are treated like dirt.  Many American travelers have resorted to wearing Canadian pins so that they will not be treated like garbage while traveling over there.  If the rest of the world still loved us, they would probably be glad to continue using the U.S. dollar.  But because we are now so unpopular, that gives other nations even more incentive to dump the dollar in international trade.

So what will happen if the reign of the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency comes to an end? Well, some of the potential effects were described in a recent article by Michael Payne....

"The demise of the dollar will also bring radical changes to the American lifestyle. When this economic tsunami hits America, it will make the 2008 recession and its aftermath look like no more than a slight bump in the road. It will bring very undesirable changes to the American lifestyle through massive inflation, high interest rates on mortgages and cars, and substantial increases in the cost of food, clothing and gasoline; it will have a detrimental effect on every aspect of our lives."

Most Americans don't realize how low the price of gasoline in the United States is compared to much of the rest of the world.
There are areas in Europe where they pay about twice what we do for gasoline.  Yes, taxes have a lot to do with that, but the fact that the U.S. dollar is used for almost all oil transactions also plays a significant role.
Today, America consumes nearly a quarter of the world's oil.  Our entire economy is based upon our ability to cheaply transport goods and services over vast distances.
So what happens if the price of gasoline doubles or triples from where it is at now?
In addition, if the reign of the U.S. dollar as global reserve currency ends, the U.S. government is going to have a much harder time financing its debt.

Right now, there is a huge demand for U.S. dollars and for U.S. government debt since countries around the world have to keep huge reserves of U.S. currency lying around for the sake of international trade.

But what if that all changed?
What if the appetite for U.S. dollars and U.S. debt dried up dramatically?
That is something to think about.

At the moment, the global financial system is centered on the United States.  But that will not always be the case.  The things talked about in this article will not happen overnight, but it is important to note that these changes are picking up steam.

Under the right conditions, a shift in momentum can become a landslide or an avalanche.
Clearly, the conditions are right for a significant move away from the U.S. dollar in international trade.  So when will this major shift occur? Only time will tell.
