Invent the poison then sell it as a cure to the disease it causes.

It should. Both are from the same Demonic Social Engineers.

The fiat currency scam is coming to an end. The Fed is there to make sure it happens and force a digital currency like the WEF endorsed Ethereum on us. Go BTC, go precious metals.

BTC has the 51% attack issue which the WEF et al. can easily exploit at some point.

Ethereum over next couple of years is excellent crypto and will not be manipulated by WEF et al. over that time. It is also excellent to get into the various DeFi cryptos which can't be manipulated as easily.

Metals are the very best and are on blowout sale today. Physical is best.

This comment is dead wrong.

DeFi crypto just like metals will increase in value.

Over 5k years of history for metals means that they will survive it all, even the failed CBDC attempts. Communities will go hyper local and as such decentralized and incorporate barter systems w/ metals, etc.

Do not believe the naysayers. They'll just bring you down.

I believe this & here’s why: So far, so, SO many things spoken of in Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Amos, Isaiah and Revelation have come true and appear to be on the cusp of coming true / coming to fruition. Therefore, when I read over & over that, “A loaf of bread will go for a day’s wage” and “silver …” (mentioned numerous times, I’m thinking, hyper local, bartering, “You’ve got eggs? Great! I’ve got firewood” types of situations, and I think silver and gold, etc., as well.

If we look back at America’s Civil War, remember the paper dollar which many rebels buried in their yards, were worthless except for starting fires when all was said and done. It’d be good if we learn from history. I’m sure there are likely dozens of countries with that same scenario; I just don’t know and off hand.

As SS says, if the govt wants to ban private gold, they can confiscate it, make it illegal for trade, etc. See FDR executive order 6102 of 1933:

We must get out of our slave conditioning and see how to respond as sovereign, autonomous humans. The gov't is already doing many things that are unlawful and they will continue. The demons running the show are dependent on our compliance.

So when the gov "bans" something, the onus to work around it is on us. Yes, there is risk. But forfeiting your duty as a man means losing your soul. No thank you.

The future hinges on two very specific elements. First, compliance. The demons running the world now have, until now, coaxed participation in most aspects of the labor / consumer requirements. A large number of people will become non-compliant in a hurry. So labor for their future plans is a significant weak / blind spot. Hubris, eh?

Second, IQ. You could tie race into this as well. Evil will eventually be met by very smart, very armed, very angry "peasants". The awakening Saxon is coming. There will be no end to the righteous anger unleashed. I don't know the trigger that launches the balloon, but food / calorie scarcity is the likely cause.

Respectfully disagree. I believe you're selling human ingenuity short. There are parallel and local economies springing up. I'm not sure the psychopaths will be able to finalize their wet dreams.

Oh I know just how evil these POSes are. But I think aside from the terminally brainwashed sheeple wearing their masks outside, a good many people have woken up. For example, based on the CDC stats the majority of this country IS NOT fully jabbed. 72M never and 150M+ never took a second. Look at the booster failures. Compliance is the key. That's why I have some hope

I'm not an economics expert, but it seems to me that the silver lining (to the extent their is one, considering they will likely starve us to death), will be that people will immediately stop paying their local real estate taxes, and income taxes - it will force government at all levels to implode. That's a good thing. People will realize they didn't need 90% of what their towns/state/feds were "providing" taxpayers through their confiscatory property taxes. And good luck finding courts that will allow the city to "take" your property - Judges won't be getting paid either.

Weimar Germany had the food police to raid people hoarding food. It’s unimaginable how bad things get during a psychological event like hyperinflation.

Banks and govt will use administrative procedures to confiscate accounts and other property for back taxes just like they did in the 1930s. They might even accuse you of being a "domestic terrorist". Good luck finding a court (and hiring a lawyer) to challenge their action!

I'm certainly not advocating for anarchy - but the government is on the path to destroying itself - because WE are the government, the PEOPLE are the government - when those leading this country (our government) destroy the people, it destroys itself.

The American Republic was a fragile construct from the beginning, and was gradually subverted over many decades. It has been fundamentally re-structured and is no longer accountable to "we the people".

Always interesting to see how the truth of globocapital fashy power (even setting aside the questions around motivation, coordinated stratgery vs happenstance of greed, and the emergent behavior of a small population of people detached from the corrective guardrails of nature like never before) results in questions of portfolio allocation.

The Western mind seems ill equipped to extricate from the spiritual trappings of modernity. It's likely always been this way. But since I have only been around a little while I won't claim to know.

What I have gathered, with increasing clarity through "Covid", is that most of my fellow citizens seem more interested in preserving the very System that enslaves us on its way to taking everything from us, than even contemplating a way of life beyond its most lazy and automated tentacles.

If we might only re-populate the System with a better sort of man, we could turn things around...

When I press my friends every month or so about what they are going to do with all their shiny new post-covid tyranny epiphany nuggets, it always amounts to them negotiating with Evil for a seat at the table. Yes, they agree, it is just awful how fewer seats there are than last time around.

Recent travels have convinced me that this transcends both dirt county and cloud city, albeit in different ways. The cultural homogenization is complete.

Time and again, my smart and successful friends haul their lode back to the merchants they claim to despise. They flog their discontent in public over the freefall rate of that exchange, which conveniently becomes the moral self-license of their soldiering in this Good war. And so, they remain in the cul-de-sac tending the grill. Though with a scowl quick to sprout. You know, because tyranny!

The war on reality that drives much of the leftist death cult, to which many of these right-thinkers pride themselves on recognizing, fails to illuminate any parallels to their own fantastical field trips from reality. The logical conclusions of observable reality can only be taken so far. The only thing worse than living with the boot of the System on one's neck is the prospect of life without transacting with evil at all.

And so it goes that the ones I know with the greatest capital, are the least interested in converting that capital into things accretive to building a future divorced from the System that granted them that capital in exchange for their fealty.

Are you saying what I am, but with a lot more style and allegory?

Close. The problem with [the pursuit of] "wealth" isn't that it fails when times get bad, but rather that it leads to failing the spiritual tests that are abundant in the good times. The failure of wealth when times are broken is already baked in because the spiritual war is already over for those people. But indeed, your points on people, community, resources, skills, and the continuance of the culture of those people are what make for durable assets across time - as well as the mindset that an "economy" is downstream of those people, to serve their needs and values. It's hard to put it in agnostic terms that resonate, but yeah, of this world is not "who we are", yet in this world is where we are now. To speak of Evil, but to ignore the war for your soul is only halfway to the reckoning.

How bad do you think its going to get. Do you think people who get pensions are still going to get paid?

Not a chance. I was in a position to take mine earlier after I was forced to resign at (age 51) from my 17-year job for not taking the jab/poison/vaccine (which is not a vaccine) back in Nov. 2021. I get over $800 a month for now which does help pay bills. I don't think it will be there in the next 1 to 2 years though.

POV, thank you, a question; Did you have to sue for that right, or is it connected with your veteran status?

No, it was offered to me with a substantial penalty of course. Had I waited until 65 I would be getting over $1700 a month. My decision was it is better to have something now then nothing later.

Expand full comment

I would do the same, but the penalty is robbery. I am unaware of how one can do what you did, my research is that I can do nothing until 62. Maybe I need to speak to a lawyer or reread the gov page on that. Best from Oregon POV...

My pension was funded by a private non-profit employer who worked with government laboratories. They are setup differently than city/state pension plans and are sometimes more flexible such as the case of early withdrawal with penalties. However, I cashed out a 401K plan from an earlier employer I had for 6.5 years and that was robbery. The IRS basically confiscated nearly all of it for taxes. I did end up getting about $2K though which again is better than nothing, but the IRS made out like a bandit.

I am 58, have 4 years before I 'get to' claim pension 'early' at 62, with the requisite penalty. I do not think it is going to be solvent by then, by all evidence I see. I am just sorry I had to give them the money to piss away on death and destruction, and parties. It would only be about $600 a month but boy it would make a difference for me. We're in a tight spot!!!

#2 are you taking a city perspective? The Fed's role may indeed be just about over if a controlled world economy is about to unfold. As a contrarian position I don't personally see how wealth, all forms, aren't too helpful when SHTF unless they are survival related.

Expand full comment

My contrarian view is that wealth (unused) is not that helpful to sustain life in hard times. Real protection would indeed be physical, including a network of like minded groups with life sustaining supplies and infrastructure. All of which benefit in 'good' times from wealth injection and monitoring. Once a life threatening emergency takes place, most forms of commerce including food or heat delivery or maintenance of any kind dry up.

The fed has the gold, and we have their worthless paper,

Bernanke said they hold gold out of "tradition", it' really not money.

If they feel that way, they won't object to living up to their promise made so many years ago, promising depositors that they could get their gold back by redeeming their paper.

One of the first things FDR did when he got into office was to outlaw the private ownership of monetary gold. That's changed, and we should wheelbarrow all our worthless paper down to the federal reserve bank, and demand they return our gold to the treasury.

We continue giving our wealth away, much of it to countries that hate us and/or want us to fail. That raising interest rates to cool the economy during a time of short supply of goods will exacerbate inflation is obvious. The harm of our government giving our wealth away to transfer wealth creation in the third world will be our doom.
