That Day will come as a trap on all the world
RE: That Day will come as a trap on all the world
"Real money" as in what, cans of baked beans and bottles of water? Or "real money" as in the peripheral nonsense about gold bullion that is so often foisted upon your demographics (guys must know yall make a good mark....couldn't possibly see why they think that...... )

Hi Jenny,
Maybe I was unclear.
Real estate, because of it's value being closely tied to DEBT is in trouble.
Not only that- I consider all real estate as the owner actually renting the right to own from whatever TAXING agency is taking taxes from said estate owner. Stop paying property tax and see just how long you retain the place.

You are on good ground with your understanding of the history of paper money, except:
The Goldsmiths of long ago would issue receipts for gold and silver deposited to them.
The receipts were much more convenient in everyday use than the precious metals.
The Goldsmiths, realizing only a fraction of the depositors ever came back for the real stuff, could not resist the temptation to issue some receipts and buy or trade these unbacked "Notes" for whatever their crooked little hearts desired. Not the first Scam ever invented.

As time went by, the Goldsmiths became "Bankers" but the scam never went away.
Finally they just dumped the pretense of a Gold reserve completely.

They still do believe in gold and silver, only they keep it to themselves.
This is the reason why the big stash of gold held in the bottom of the Twin Towers was trucked out before the place was bombed.
Fort Knox may or may not have the real stuff there, which is why I heard the Germans were ticked off about missing German gold held here.
But that is another story.
Fake money is money backed by nothing. This would be "Federal Reserve Notes".
I am actually happy for "Quantative Easing" (hyper driving the printing presses) because I am still here.
But one day, the chickens come home.

Yup, you've been conned. I'm sure all that gold is going to mean something when the apocalypse begins........
(the value of gold and the value of paper money comes from the same place, btw, buddy - people desire it - the value of a precious metal is not a magical or immutable property of said metal)

Well it has happened the last 100 times it's been predicted. Based on previous examples, not much.

That's an annoying line.
So far I've been unable to break away from linear time, never been able to skip or avoid a day.

I suppose I could avoid the trap by dying the day before. Undecided

Sorry, I have to add something heree, because come the 26th, I'd like to think that maybe you will have learned a few things and won;t be so susceptible to cons - be they gold or armageddon...and I'd like to help.

-Does it strike you as odd that people would be willing to sell you their gold (ostensibly something with real value).....for paper money? If the case they make in their ad copy were true...what are they doing...operating a charity?

Good thought Rhythm.
My 2 cents- the scam has been in operation here officially since 1913.
A hundred and one years is a long time to get acclimated to a government sponsored program.
There are more people than bankers.
The price of gold went from 20 dollars / oz to well over a grand. (Thank you FED)
Paper money monetary inflation is theft.
But it is hard to steal everything.

Unless you have an actual -use- for the gold (as in some thing not tied to it's monetization), whether you bank your "1k" in gold or paper is irrelevant, you're doing precisely the same thing either way. How much did you get conned for?
(not asking you for a number, just..you know, a little, alot....that sort of thing)
