his is a fascinating article that will make you think. Is the banking cartel that controls the world financial system going to hit the reset button in the next few months and start over? If so, the ruling elite in the know will be taking actions today that will insure they are still rich after the reset. The common people will be screwed because they don't know it is coming. At first it seems farfetched, but if you step back and examine the facts it actually seems logical. The worldwide banking system is insolvent. The ruling elite are trying to convince the average person that everything is alright by producing fake banking profits and selling stock to the unsuspecting public. In the meantime Central Banks are buying gold. They were selling when it was $300 oz, but are buying at $950 oz.
FDR declared a surprise bank holiday and confiscated all the gold in the U.S. As more people begin to realize that all the rescue measures have failed and the gig is up on printing our way out of this, the ruling class will declare a start over and your savings will be worth 50% less overnight. It has happened and it will happen again. All fiat currency regimes ultimately come to an end. The only way to retain your current net worth will be to have physical gold and silver. Will the end come over decades or will it be in one week. The implications to every American are huge.
A Tremendous Secret"

Last week FOFOA posted a long article on the coming devaluation of the dollar and how it might play out. He thinks it will be sprung on us without warning -- sooner rather than later:
|
The point is that during times of transition, surprises are always the order of the day. We have a crazy-out-of-control government that has given in to the temptation of printing its way out of this mess. The deflationists view this as an exercise in futility, while the inflationists say that you cannot print these amounts of dollars without it affecting the markets sooner or later. |
The idea that we’ll wake up one day to discover that the international monetary system has been “reset” and that our dollar/euro/yen savings have taken a huge hit (while the local currency value of our gold and silver soar) reminds me of an exchange in The Virgin’s Lover, by Philippa Gregory (yes, I like historical romances). The year is 1560 and the young queen Elizabeth rules a country nearly bankrupted by a Spanish alliance that produced only war and debt. The English treasury has been systemically debasing its coins by clipping and shaving them, so that their face value vastly exceeds their gold content.
Elizabeth’s advisors have decided that the monetary system needs to be reset, and have been importing borrowed gold. On the appointed day they intend to call in the circulating coins and replace them -- by weight rather than face value -- with newly-minted coins. This devaluation will transfer citizens’ wealth to the government, impoverishing the former and enriching the latter. And if all goes as planned it will come as a surprise to most of the country.
But Elizabeth’s lover, Sir Robert Dudley, learns of the plan and is not happy:
|
Elizabeth turned and smiled at him and took his hand and held it to her cheek. “My Robert.” Robert let go of her hand and walked to the center of the room while she sat and watched him wondering what he would do. She realized that the sinking feeling in her belly was apprehension. For the first time in her life she was afraid what a man was thinking of her -- not for policy but for love. |
Now, at least three things can be gleaned from all this:
1) FOFOA is right that the world’s governments stand to gain most from a surprise devaluation, since it will prevent us commoners from preemptively swapping our paper for real things, setting off an inflation that would make an even deeper devaluation necessary.
There's a rumor that I was reluctant to mention when it first started circulating, because it seemed a little too far down the tin foil hat / black helicopter road. But in this context it seems pretty reasonable. According to widely-followed newsletter writers Harry Schultz and Bob Chapman:
|
”Some US embassies worldwide are being advised to purchase massive amounts of local currencies; enough to last them a year. Some embassies are being sent enormous amounts of US cash to purchase currencies from those govts, quietly. But not £’s. Inside the State Dept there is a sense of sadness & foreboding that ‘something’ is about to happen, unknown re a date—just that within 180 days, but could be 120-150 days.” |
2) The details of the plan will spread within an ever-widening circle of banking and government folks who, like Sir Robert, will demand the chance to profit from the insider trade of the century. Because such a secret is impossible to contain for long, once in place the plan has to be executed as soon as possible.
3) If the rest of us play it right, we’ll be able to at least protect ourselves, and maybe even make out (in percentage terms at least) like Goldman Sachs no doubt will.
Harry Shultz: “Obviously, U can’t open safeboxes if the banks are closed, so plan accordingly. During the FDR bank holiday, thousands of banks never reopened; it was a face-saving way of shutting them down. I would guess the same would occur today; thousands have little or no net value, loaded with debt, bad mortgages.”
FOFOA: “It matters not one iota how well you do in the stock and bond markets leading up to the reset. Neither does it matter what the "gold market" does between now and then. The ONLY thing that matters is how you are positioned on that one - fateful - day! Everything will be reset and surprises will abound.”

Jim, I have suspected the ole boys of selling paper gold and buying the real deal for several years. If you have not read "Gold Wars" by Ferdinand Lips, it's a must, written by an insider. Bankers have done settlements in gold via the BIS forever, simply because they don't trust their own paper.

Same repeat of the Great Depression on that story. The Central Banking model has 400 years of historical data to know when and how to do what. The model in my opinion will evolve or die, simply because we happen to be in the nuclear age and the last two global fiscal crashes/defaults led to world wars.
In the Know
I do not think in terms of 'elite' or 'peasant' I think in terms of consolidation to Jason's point above. Money monopolies are no different from any other and competition is never viewed as welcome. The individuals I know in CB consider there model a service to mankind, even the regrettable effects of war and rapid technology innovations that result.

One of the banks in Georgia in our consortium was valued at zero despite the building and land being appraised for $75 M.

This was already planned by the Bilderbergh group, Who is really running the world?

The monopoly or oligarchy is a function of structure, something I've been saying for a long time. The essence of the insight actually has its roots in theology because without that "sign post on the road", I have to wonder whether there would be any consciousness surrounding the issue at all ? It's like asking if fish know we're here to some degree.
Fiat currency has no choice but to operate within hierarchy (or centralization) where a focal point of power can guide day-to-day operations. This directive is essential because pure fiat, money from nothing, for whatever value it has, has value only because of the overall system. Think of fiat debt based currency as a set of books. The value is in the books, not the individual entries of pen and ink. The pen and ink entries simply have no sovereign value. Because there is no sovereign value in the pen & ink entries (only in the whole system), then centralization and a focal point of power become a necessary evil in how fiat currency is structured. Could you imagine people running around on a decentralized basis and freely writing IOU's to each other ?
Only an asset based system of money, where the money has intrinsic value, can be decentralized. As society becomes "unglued", will centralization be affected to a degree that debt currency systems will fall apart ? I think so. Sovereign assets that are a measure of store (past economy) will rule the day where protection of one's wealth is concerned.
I found this piece this morning. I think it's extremely well done, particularly in how it points out that hyper-inflation is a currency event, not an event that is predicated on demand, as many think. Hyper-inflation is not an economic event, but much more specific. http://matterhornassetmanagement.com/newsletter/?newsletter=20?321
There is good reference to a benchmark time late in the year that will serve as a catalyst to economic fallout, based on the inability for people to make ends meet, based on unemployment. This is the reference that Jim Sinclair has been making on his site jsmineset.com and was a short subject of conversation here in the RD when reference was made to "events" that would occur in early November. The article in the link in the above paragraph creates a much better "rubber to the road" understanding.
Please listen carefully because the irony to all of this is that those who have some savings can go a long way in supporting a solution if they simply support the gold market. The investment leg will lead to an upward price and an upward price will lead to eventual monetization, even if that monetization is a private closed system of gold barter and government never gets involved on the basis of being in love with its own debt. They may well co-exist in "parallel universes". Fine. Choice is important.
In short, our solutions must come from the bottom-up. We have been top-down driven since the "apple was shoved in our faces". Do you not think that enough is enough ? This beast must rise from the earth. Follow the script.
At its core, based on my own awareness, I still don't think we have a financial crisis. We have a marketing crisis based on a lack of awarenesss that people anywhere and everywhere can now buy a small piece of confetti, online, with gold title, fully backed. In short, we can now transact in debt-free fashion with a store of value and close out a transaction , completely, with no lingering debt having been issued into the currency supply. This can be done on a global & seamless basis and it can be done in an instant. New wine has found a new wineskin. goldmoney.com This needs a movement (as do the others).
Buy your confetti on the way to the "great wedding" where invitations are still for the many.

Thank you for the heads up Jim, I have been wondering if they planned to reset the value of our money. We are in for a very stressful time. Good luck to all of us.
