Who Is Prepared for Economic Disaster?
So today, I happened upon a report on the Global Money Supply comparing countries' financial status. In particular, at the bottom of that article is a chart showing each country's gold reserves as a percentage of their circulating currency. Gold reserves are, it seems, few and far between these days, so the paper you hold is secure against nothing except peoples' perception of money value.
This is, of course, fine, as long as there is not new money being created in large quantities. But you can see evidence (for the US in the first link in this post, and for Britain here), that the borrowing of money from central banks is out of control. And once this new money finds its way into the market (very little of it is actual paper), there will be a colossal revaluing of currency. Which is why gold and silver are being pushed as good investments as a temporary alternative investment, safer than keeping paper currency.
See here how and why gold and silver prices might have been subject to price-fixing by bankers, who stand to lose out if prices rise.
So, who has enough gold to back their currency? Chavez' Venezuela! (the only one of 25 economic areas surveyed). America is going to have a hard time getting their way and toppling his government when he stands to cash in anytime soon, once gold prices undergo the correction so sorely overdue.
That paper in your hand just might be disintegrating in value faster than you think.

Undebunkable Chemtrails Video That The "Debunkers" Ignore...
...and yes, Chemtrails interfere with weather
(but why they are used, no-one fully knows...)
And You Tell Me There's No Suppressed Technology?
It's another of those 'conspiracy theories' that good citizens don't notice. Imagine the standard of living if all the secret technology was released to the public...we'd be "free and independent" as JFK said! No more poverty anywhere! Can you imagine being sick enough to withhold such technology from society just to maintain your position of control? (Bearing in mind that we don't know just how much technological capability is being withheld, because, duh, it's secret.) What did Nikola Tesla really develop?
Individual Liberty? But that's "selfish"!
No, we need to look after each other voluntarily without having a government do all that at gunpoint. Sounds absurd at first but soon you realise that the reason it sounds so is because of the very unfree nature of our current existence. Envision greater possibilities! Ok, some kind of massive wake-up would be needed before this kind of free, responsible, uncontrollable society could emerge. And that's what we are seeing day by day in the world - a massive waking up of the previously enslaved masses (including myself I must add!)
