QUESTION: You have said that we are in the middle of a shift in the economy similar to the Great Depression where agriculture crashed from 40% to 3% and this time it is government and technology. It seems that your warning of also moving to an electronic currency fits with your new age of skilled labor. So is this indeed part of your shift from the West to Asia? ANSWER: Yes. It was that shift[...]

Investors Still Aren’t Fully Awake to this Dollar Nightmare Yet – MarketWatch
By Shawn Langlois We are back on “patient” watch this week, with the Fed’s potential market-rattling precursor to a rate hike due midweek. Our call of the day predicts that, for now, “patient” will remain in the script and the Fed won’t be rocking the boat on interest rates (more on that below). Market behavior says: “I’m not so sure.” Volatility has been on the rise, and[...]
What Will Happen to You When the Dollar Collapses?
by Jeff Thomas Historically, when a nation’s debt exceeds its ability to repay even the interest, it can be assumed that the currency will collapse. Typically, governments exacerbate the situation by printing large amounts of currency notes in an effort to inflate the problem away, or at least postpone it.

If Prices are Collapsing, Then Why is GOLD GOING UP?
January 20, 2015 by Jay Taylor Most people have been trained by the Keynesian propagandists to think of gold as just another commodity. Gold is not a commodity. It is money!

Any empire, whilst in its prime, will have a strong currency. As its productive relevance declines, so will its currency. Invariably, its leaders attempt to keep the currency strong, in spite of the decline in national relevance. Rather than[...]

"America is in no condition to endure an economic downturn, yet a downturn is coming, almost as surely as night follows day. When the next crisis unfolds, I expect the Fed to quietly ask the Chinese central bank to revalue gold, by announcing a major gold buy program.
