Beheadings Head to the USA

This is the benefit of open borders with a society that is in the grip of a real war on terror right on their lawns and front steps. I feel sad for the Mexicans but we should protect ourselves. Of course we're not going to.

The antibiotic resistant super-bugs that are circling the globe thanks to air travel and porous borders is showing signs of taking the system down.

Our Masters Arm Themselves

This bill put forth in California tells us all we need to know about the politicians in that state. They get to arm themselves while the rest of us have to huddle like sheep or run.

Concealed carry for politicians only.

The Japan Sell-off

If Japan needs cash and sells it's U.S. Treasury bond holdings it could collapse the Dollar or at least cause a run on it. Things are working against us here and all roads lead to Washington when it comes to financial ruin.

Check out this link from The Washington Times regarding the possibility of a Japanese sell-off.

Keep chanting silver and gold if you're serious about surviving a sell-off.

Financial Collapse: What is Fake Money?

Looming Dollar Crisis

The number of stories in the news about states and investors questioning the safety of paper money should make you look back into the history of failed empires and the currencies that accompanied them. Just this level of awareness out there predicts that we may be approaching a critical tipping point in confidence that could precipitate a currency collapse.

Here's my view: Paper currency is fake money no matter who prints it if it can't be converted to a commodity on demand. That ended in the U.S. a long time ago.


States Moving to Fill the Void:

A number of states are moving to create their own currencies or to make sure there is some means of transacting business when the dollar finally becomes worthless.

Utah has opted to allow precious metal spot values of U.S. minted coins as legal tender. This approach incorporates the U.S. coins with a twist. Rather than use face value this allows market value for payment of taxes and other debts.

A North Carolina legislator wants to create a state currency and to allow for precious metals to be used for transactions.

Don't Print Your Own Green:

Don't take matters into your own hands. Just buy gold or silver coins.

Printing your own money is a bad idea if you live in the U.S.A. It almost guarantees jail time and now it also means you're a domestic terrorist according to the U.S. government. Admittedly, this guy screwed up by using features of U.S. currency in his minted coins. He should have called them something else other than dollars. Here is the FBI page on the story of a North Carolina man now facing a long prison term for his mistakes. Don't print your own green.
