DON'T WORRY, IT'S COMING

  

George Offerman

For the past couple of months, we have witnessed a huge sell off in the precious metals that can only be explained by pure foolishness.  The financial press is constantly beating the deflationary drum concerning the metals, and provocatively steering the herd into the overbought and over leveraged stock market, that is ready for a major correction.   When (and not if) this reversal takes place, it will be curtains for many and their money will be taken by those who have been salivating over the last vestige of capital left in this hopelessly indebted country.

Why anyone would still continue to give credence to anyone who is promoting the current system is beyond my ability to understand.  We are seeing unprecedented reaches by multiple governments in taking the citizen’s money in all forms that happen to have an account number and track able by said governments.  If the government is not outright stealing money, as in the Cyprus experiment, it is doing it indirectly by raising taxes on capital gains to mafia like heights.  On top of that, there is ample evidence that many of the corporations are ‘cooking the books’ and are not as valuable as they have to show in order to continue commanding astronomically high stock valuation.  Why continue to play this game when it is so obviously rigged?

I am as equally mystified when I read postings from those who have a clear vision of what is to happen, when they make a credible case to own tangibles, then somewhere in their writings they recommend only ‘10% or so in precious metals, as an insurance policy”.  Well, I say, what about the other 90% of your money, which is still within the criminal financial system?  It’s acceptable to lose nearly all of one’s wealth, as long as they don’t get too ‘radical’ and put their life savings into tangibles, especially precious metals?  It truly makes me wonder if these people really believe what they preach, or if there are deeper and profitable motives on their part.

We are hopelessly in debt.  Our debt is increasing in geometric progression and there is not a thing we can do about it.  It doesn’t matter how much ‘austerity’ we introduce, or what political party is in office, or how many jobs we create, or how much the jobs numbers and inflations numbers are manipulated, we simply have gone too far in our ability to pay it back, and all the printing presses in the world, coupled with stealing all the peoples assets that have numbers, and can be frozen via electronic means, will not change any of these facts.  The reset button will be hit and the system as we know it today will cease to exist.

We are on borrowed time.  Every day that passes that does not result in collapse, is a blessing.  It is what we do with this time that will make all the difference in the world for us and our loved ones.  While all the talking idiots on the majority of the financial programs and channels talk about some mystical recovery, the facts paint a much dire and different picture.  The cut and paste economy will soon give away to a more somber reality in which real skills and real know how will be the only way to continue on with life.  The need to be able to take care of oneself will be paramount and the need to be in a community of like-minded individuals will be essential.  Tangibles, not stocks or bonds, or even cash will be king and will be necessary to get on with the day to day demands of the times ready to visit us.  At the top of the list (other than food, water and shelter) will be the precious metals.  God’s money.

This is why it is so important to be plugged in, and to take care of one’s situation with tangibles.  Tangibles are the hardest to confiscate, and are readily available to the owner at his discretion.  There is no counter party risk, and it is as open or hidden as you make it.  If the old adage about making money is true, “buy low, and sell high” then precious metals couldn’t be a better deal right now.  The stock market is at an all-time high, and people are flooding into it.  Precious metals are at a 5 year low, and people are dumping them like crazy.  Cattle running to the slaughter house.   Don’t end up being steak on the elite’s plate.

On a personal note

I’ve been extremely busy, as in every waking moment accounted for, and the blog, although important, is not an essential piece of my day.  I am hoping this deluge of ‘life’ will calm down, and I can get back to writing on a more regular basis.  So, for those who wondered where I went or if I’m ok, I’m letting you know that I hope to be writing a lot more in the near future.  I’m also looking into a collaborative effort with another individual who is fairly influential in the pro-life movement, who also happens to believe what I do, and thinks the message needs to get out to the faithful quickly.  Will keep you updated on that one.  Thanks for being patient.

DID THE CLOCK STRIKE MIDNIGHT FOR THE ECONOMY?

George Offerman

The internet has been abuzz with loads of information and speculation concerning this MF Global failure (Now we know what the MF stands for) and what it portends for the future.  This is juxtaposed to the MSM which is downplaying this event, and making it sound like Jon Corzine was just a disinterested CEO looking on with little to no responsibility for what occurred at his firm.  Based upon the reactions from many differing factions, it would appear that this ‘event’ may very well be the tipping point that is going to start the roller coaster on its wild ride.

The more I read and the more I think about what has happened over the past two weeks, it is seemingly clearer that we are in major trouble.  There are many who have rightfully claimed the markets have been corrupt for some time.  There are others who have proven beyond a doubt the Comex has been manipulated, at least concerning the precious metals for at least 20 + years.   However, I cannot recollect at any time, where there has been a breach in trust, in which individual customer accounts were raided to pay off bad derivative bets and at least some regulatory body coming forth and making the injured customer whole again.

This is unprecedented, and beyond a doubt, is having a very chilling effect on the market.  It is with little exaggeration that everyone who has accounts in any forms in any of these companies has now been given a warning sign in neon lights: get out of the market!  NOW!!!  It is so crystal clear that if one is in the elite group, he can expect to be bailed out, pronto by the Federal Reserve on the taxpayer’s dime, but for the rest of the 99%, we are clearly on our own.  This system as it is run currently is so brazenly corrupt that it is no longer done in the dark, but in the light of day, and with little to no consequences for the perpetrators.

So, the question is, how long can an openly corrupt system operate, when it is crystal clear the average Joe cannot trust whether he can safely grow his money in the system as it is?  If the average Joe cannot grow his money in a system that he has been told is honest and right, then where does he go to grow his money?  And what becomes of this system once the majority of the ‘Joes’ gets it and decides to abandon it?  Well, this seems to be where we are at this moment in time.  Will (or can, or should) the system survive?  There seem to be many compelling reasons to think we are seeing the ending of the current economic system as we know it.

The whole reason for why the average person participates in any of these markets is to increase his net worth in order to something that is seemingly becoming more out of reach: having a better life for himself and those he loves.  When it dawns on enough people that this whole system is rigged against them, they will decide to not play anymore, and will demand that justice be done for those who stole their money from them.  Since our government has clearly not prosecuted any of these thugs, and it is looking less likely they will go after the Obama crony Corzine, the only option left for most people is to take all their money out of this corrupt system and put it in something safe, that will offer a fair and honest return on their sweat equity.

So, we very well may have hit midnight on the economy clock, as it is very apparent we are on our own to make our own future.  The new paradigm will involve being productive and will be a cash and carry system based on real and honest money.  It is now the responsibility of the individual investor to make up their minds and to act.  Time is of the premium now, and action must commence, or it very well may result in many people’s untimely demise.

PRESS ON

George Offerman

I am still dealing with some concerning the precious metals markets and the volatility issue.  I’m not sure whether I am writing unclearly, or if it is that some are not reading what I write, but claiming they are, or if it is simply pure raw emotions, and an inability or unwillingness to do any research on this subject.  Any way that it is, people ought to be making informed decisions concerning their money and need to be actively involved in these matters.  I am not asking anyone to take my word blindly, I am presenting well researched and documented positions on the silver market and informing the readers of the well documented and 100% failure rate of paper currency throughout history.  I am encouraging readers to do some research themselves, but I also think we have a time crunch we are dealing with, and I’m going to throw out my conclusions because there is not time to waste.  But still do some research, as it does not take as much time as one may think.

People cannot allow themselves to get bent out of shape over some rough times in the market.  We are in a marathon, and the goal of all investing is to have more money, or net worth at the end of the timeframe in which one chooses to exit the workforce or pass on wealth, or whatever goal one has set for themselves.  Virtually every book on wealth will tell you that those who did well went against the ‘herd”.  What is the ‘herd’ doing now?  Going into cash and US treasuries.  They are also running headlong into the slaughter house, but are being told it is the safe house to hide in against the oncoming storm that is nearly here.  Who is telling us to get into cash and treasuries?  The puppet MSM, with CNBSC leading the pack.  Who owns the MSM?  The money powers.  What else does the money powers own?  The Federal Reserve, and all central banks.  What are the Federal Reserve and central banks buying now?  Mainly gold, but starting to purchase silver through the ETF’s.  Do you think the money powers want to share wealth with you or me?  HELL NO!!!

What is at stake here folks is plain old fashioned survival.  People that are seeing the light and grasping what is about to happen are preparing, and part of this is in getting out of paper assets and into tangibles.  When this wave hits, and it will be huge, it will wash away very quickly those who are not anchored down and it will be relentless and devastating.  I am seeing reports daily about things like this government buying large amounts of MRE’s, along with other necessary survival gear.  There are wealthy people expatriating at an alarming rate.  There are even what one may consider to be ‘mainstream’ folks who have decided to purchase farm land and leave the cities without any real experience of country living.  People all over are starting to sense big trouble, but unfortunately, most are still not acting on this, and doing their imitation of a deer in the headlights.   Some are still in denial, and believe ‘things will turn around soon’.

As I have said in the recent past, this is not a pleasurable task, nor am I excited about what silver will do if it means the devastation of everything I know and those I love.  But it also does no good to invest in some make believe future that has no chance in hell of ever happening and lead others into this delusion.  There simply is too much evidence, and too many people (even some from the ranks of the money powers are now saying an economic collapse is on its way) to write this off as ‘conspiracy theory’.  It seems, unfortunately that it will be those that embraced a scenario of a very quick and devastating crash that will be correct when all is said and done.  If that is the case, it will be more nightmarish than what I can imagine or write about.  It seems unlikely that the crash will be methodical and slower, which would give us time to adjust and transition into the simpler lifestyles that will be required to survive and thrive in the new times.  It seems many will be left behind, but not in the good sense of the word.

I can hope that I am way off on this matter and be as wrong as a person can be.  This would be one topic I wish I could write about and have to retract due to errors I’ve made.  I wish I could fall into the magical thinking trap, and see a bright and prosperous future ahead of us, and I wish I could believe those in power are lead by love and have a strong faith in God that would lead them into making the right decisions.  But unfortunately, I am not delusional, and none of the wishes stated above are happening.  I cannot give strong enough warnings for what is coming.  It is unfortunate the Church and those who should be warning the public (if they actaully gave a damn) are not doing their jobs and due to their lack of vigilance, will not see this coming, and will mock those who are trying to get the warnings out before hand.  Get ready, because it is coming, and it is now on the doorstep.

SOUND MONEY PROPOSAL IN UTAH

I am copying this article in its completion due to the relevance of topic.  enjoy.

States to Financially Break Away from Federal Government - Utah Monetary Declaration Ron Hera This is the most important message I have ever sent. I urge you to read it and to share it with others. Earlier this week I attended the Utah Monetary Summit in Salt Lake City, Utah. As you may know, the state of Utah passed a Legal Tender Act earlier this year authorizing the use of federally minted gold and silver coins as money in the state of Utah. Now, legislators in other states, many of whom attended the Monetary Summit, are evaluating similar legislation. Among other things, this means the United States is approaching a Constitutional crisis because states are beginning to financially break away from the federal government. This is no less serious than the American War of Independence or the War Between the States. The Utah Monetary Declaration (below) is a financial declaration of independence whereby states are beginning to opt out of the Federal Reserve System. A major confrontation seems inevitable. The issues underlying this historic development include: 1. The unsound condition of large U.S. banks, which have inaccurate and crumbling balance sheets along with $250 trillion in high-risk OTC derivatives contracts; 2. The unstable nature of the U.S. and world financial systems, characterized by unworkable levels of sovereign debt and private debt and by over $600 trillion in OTC derivatives liabilities; 3. The excessive levels of federal government debt and unfunded liabilities combined with falling federal tax revenues prior to the start of the double-dip recession that began in the second half of 2011; 4. The radically inflationary monetary policies of the federal government and of the Federal Reserve, which promise high inflation or hyperinflation in the future; 5. The worsening condition of the real U.S. economy outside of large banks, multinational corporations, and Wall Street firms, where federal government bailouts and Federal Reserve monetary easing (money printing) transfer wealth from proverbial Main Street to literal Wall Street; 6. The rapidly escalating polarization of the distribution of wealth, which threatens not only the economic stability of the United States but also its social and political stability; and 7. The current, highly inflationary monetary system is plainly unfair and fundamentally immoral. As a consequence of these grave, ongoing and growing problems, which are being largely ignored by the mainstream news media, state governments must take immediate action to ensure the functioning of local economies and of state governments, should the federal government / Federal Reserve System break down. Specifically, there is an urgent requirement for an alternative currency to the privately issued Federal Reserve Note, which is erroneously referred to as the "U.S. dollar." Replacing a stable form of money with ever expanding debt and inflation undermines capitalism and destroys jobs. The monopolistic monetary system of the United States today is inherently inflationary because it must continually expand in order to prevent a deflationary collapse. The underlying structure and root cause of the monetary system’s inherent and inescapable inflationary bias is the legal construction of money as debt with no direct link to real economic activity. Debt levels in the economy and bank profits are simply out of line with reality. In addition to the unsustainable and unstable nature of such a system, an inherently inflationary monetary system destroys savings by devaluing the currency. Savings, which are the result of excess production, precisely define the term "capital." Replacing capital with debt, while highly beneficial for banks that create money out of thin air (through lending), is a deeply flawed concept responsible for the systematic and ongoing breakdown of capitalism in America. This deep, structural problem is the absolute root cause of chronic, irremediable unemployment. As a consequence, there will be no genuine economic recovery in the U.S. and jobs will not return unless and until the monetary system is fundamentally reformed. An ultimately more important issue is also garnering attention among state legislators, prominent (non Keynesian) economists, religious leaders, political activists and voters. Inflation, particularly if it is systematically understated by the federal government or Federal Reserve, robs savers of the proceeds of past labor and robs workers of the spending power of their wages, living standards and financial futures. Inflation robs the elderly of their retirement and robs investors of their capital by facilitating taxes on alleged gains created solely by currency debasement. Legal tender, created as debt, results in ever larger debt burdens thrust upon innocent future generations that will experience progressively lower living standards and reduced economic opportunity. Generations to come will be born into debt bondage, thus the monetary system is at the center of a profound moral crisis. The morally and literally bankrupt nature of the current U.S. financial system is transforming America into a dog-eat-dog society where every person seeks to live at the expense of someone else rather than by producing wealth, because production is systematically stolen by the federal government and by banks through the clever device of an inflationary monetary system. The monetary system operates by exchanging fictitious "wealth" (debt based money created out of thin air by private banks) for the real wealth of borrowers, i.e., the proceeds of their labor. In effect, the monetary system is a massive scam purported to be legal but lacking any demonstrable legal authority. Specifically, there is no Constitutional or other legal basis upon which the federal government can force a private monetary monopoly on the states. In fact, the Constitution of the United States explicitly establishes the exact opposite. The oversized banking system and federal government have grown in an unholy alliance in lock-step and now consume so much of the U.S. economy that, together, they not only pillage the real economy but threaten to kill, once and for all, what is left of the free country founded by the Declaration of Independence. The moral precedent and example set at the highest levels of the federal government and of the banking cartel is that profit, fame, success and wealth are (either directly or indirectly) rewards for immoral acts rather than for honesty in business. Moral corruption at the top - embedded in the very structure of the monetary system - has slowly spread its gangrenous effect, undermining totally the founding principles of the United States of America, enshrined in the Constitution of the United States and in the Bill of Rights. Rather than liberty, America’s legacy is fast becoming one of moral turpitude enshrined in financial injustice and oppression. The challenge before our nation today - our moment in history - is not merely a financial or economic or political or legal / Constitutional crisis. It is also, and primarily, a moral crisis that could literally destroy the United States of America and all that it has stood for in more than two centuries. A stable society requires sound principles. A moral society requires sound money. Today, the United States of America has neither. This message is a call to action. In the words of poet Dylan Thomas, let us say for America "Do not go gentle into that good night / Rage, rage against the dying of the light." I am personally asking you to read the Utah Monetary Declaration (below), which I, among many others, signed on Monday evening, September 26, 2011, in the Post Chapel on the University of Utah campus at Salt Lake City, and to forward it to all, especially to your state officials. Time is of the essence. Although its duration and pace are as yet unclear, the crisis is already upon us. Please act now and do not delay. Utah Monetary Declaration WHEREAS, money, as a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of measure promotes economic activity, growth and productivity by facilitating specialization and trade, the accumulation of wealth and its long-term investment, as well as accountability in setting prices, tracking progress, and settling accounts; WHEREAS, natural money - precious metal coin - by virtue of its inherent qualities of recognizability, measurability, uniformity, divisibility, durability, portability and scarcity has reliably retained its purchasing power, notwithstanding periodic fluctuations, over the centuries and millennia of human history, serving as an effective medium of exchange and store of value often without any governmental declaration to require, legitimize or perpetuate its adoption and operation as such; WHEREAS, sound money, by retaining stable purchasing power over time, best serves societal needs by substantially reducing the uncertainty of inflation risk for creditors and deflation risk for debtors as well as encouraging saving and investment among the general populace and benefiting the economic zone in which it circulates by stimulating the economy and by attracting foreign capital and commerce to the region; WHEREAS, history attests that monopolistic monetary systems frequently engender currency debasement, resulting in serious consequences such as lost purchasing power, inequitable wealth redistributions, misallocation of productive resources, and chronic unemployment, and that, as the cornerstone of a free market and society, the right to choose, whether between suppliers of goods and services, political parties and candidates, or between alternative media of exchange, effectively promotes the general welfare; WHEREAS, for the equal protection of all people, rich and poor, the open circulation of complementary and competing currencies should be fostered and promoted by every sovereign state, including those of The United States of America pursuant to their monetary powers (expressly reserved in article 1, § 10 and in the 10th amendment of the United States Constitution) to monetize gold and silver coin as an alternative, voluntary medium of exchange, and as an effective check and balance against debasement of the national currency by the national government which is constitutionally precluded from demonetizing state legal tender, through disparate tax treatment, discriminatory regulation, the threat of suppression and seizure, or otherwise; NOW THEREFORE, we the undersigned hereby declare and affirm that: 1. As an essential element of true liberty and of the pursuit of happiness in a free society, all people enjoy the inherent and unalienable right to lawfully acquire, hold and use as a medium of exchange whatever form or forms of money they may prefer, including especially gold and silver coin. 2. All free and sovereign states bear the moral, political and legal obligation not only to refrain from debasing their own currencies (except under the most exigent circumstances) and from erecting barriers to the unfettered circulation of monies issued under the authority of their sovereign trading partners, but also to affirmatively defend and protect against fraud, counterfeiting, uttering, passing off, embezzlement, theft or neglect by requiring full transparency and accountability of all state chartered financial institutions. 3. No tax liability nor any regulatory scheme promoting one form of money over another should apply to: (a) the holding of any form of money, in a financial institution or otherwise; (b) the exchange of one form of money for any other; or (c) the actual or imputed increase in the purchasing power of one form of money as compared to another. 4. Except in the case of governmentally assessed taxes, fees, duties, imposts, excises, dues, fines or penalties, the authority of government should never be used to compel payment of any obligation, contract or private debt in any specific form of money inconsistent with the parties' written, verbal or implied agreement, or to frustrate the intent of contracting parties or impair contractual obligations by invalidating the application of a discount or surcharge agreed to be dependent upon the particular medium of exchange or method of payment employed. 5. The extent and composition of a person's monetary holdings, including those on deposit with any financial institution, should not be subject to disclosure, search or seizure except upon adherence to due process safeguards such as requiring an adequate showing of probable cause to support the issuance by a court of competent jurisdiction of a lawful warrant or writ executed by legally authorized law enforcement officers. We hereby urge business leaders, educators, members of the media, legislators, government officials as well as judicial and law enforcement officers to use their best combined efforts to reinstate and promote the legal and commercial framework necessary to establishing and maintaining well-functioning, sound monetary systems based on choice in currency. The signatories hereto concur in the general principles expressed in the foregoing declaration notwithstanding specific reservations some may have as to how such principles should be interpreted and applied in practice. www.heraresearch.com

CLARIFICATION OF THE PRECIOUS METALS SITUATION

George Offerman

I’ve been spending nearly all of my free time addressing many folks’ concerns over the silver market and what is happening in the overall picture.  Yes, the precious metals are experiencing significant drops (I will not call this a ‘correction’ as silver ought to be at least 20 times what it is now).  What I am telling these folks privately and what I am writing here and now is, we are entering the endgame of this struggle between God’s money and fraudulent paper money and the economic system as it exists today.

Most don’t comprehend this, yet even want to accept it.  I can only tell people to research and read historical accounts of paper money, and its 100% failure rate, and how countries that stay on a bimetal money system have a history of thriving and remaining stable.  That is one of the primary reasons our Founding Fathers put in the Constitution that only gold and silver coinage is to be legal tender for all debts.  If one does not know, we, even in the good ole U.S. have had three instances in which paper currency has failed: the “continental” during the revolutionary war, the confederate currency and Lincoln’s “Greenback’ or the better known “shin plasters” during the civil war.  (Notice, it is in times of war, that currency is debauched, similar to today).

Now, we are on the verge of the fourth failure of paper currency in our history, but this one is going to be the ‘big daddy’ of failures.  For starters, we are going into debt faster than at any time in this nation’s history, and doing it with the largest numbers as well.  There is no end to the debt and the need to borrow to service this debt.  Secondly, we have the largest welfare state in our history, and have more people receiving ‘benefits’ than are working, an unsustainable process in and of itself.  But most importantly, our currency is the reserve currency of the world, and as such, allows the private corporation Federal Reserve, to print as much as is needed.  Once the rest of the world gets tired of this behavior (which is occurring now) this money will make it back to our shores, and hyperinflation is the only possible outcome of this.

Gold and silver, by their nature, cannot be made out of ‘thin air’.  Gold and silver will NEVER lose its value, and can only increase due to its relative scarcity.  Once the common man understands the true VALUE of gold and silver, there will never be enough ‘paper money’ to exchange for even 1 ounce of either of these metals.  If this were not known by nearly everyone, and especially demonstrated by most central banks, they would not be scrambling to buy as much as they can before their currency becomes worthless.  By virtue that most, if not all of the central banks around the world are buying is perfect clarification of the intrinsic value of the precious metals.

It seems why most people who have purchased silver in recent months are panicking and having second thoughts is they are confusing volatility with risk.  Although the prices of the metals are currently volatile, they pose no risk in ever losing any of their value.  Although the dollar, and treasury bonds have demonstrated little volatility over the past several years (although trending down), they carry great risk in losing some, if not all of their initial principle.  People buy bonds and hold cash in order to ‘preserve’ capital.  With interest rates near 0% on bonds, and cash paying no interest, there is no return or growth on this investment.  Given the ever increasing debt we are incurring, it is becoming a near certainty that our government will default on its bond obligations, and those placing their life’s fruits of their labor into treasury bonds are likely to be nearly or totally wiped out when the music stops.  Those holding precious metals are going to see multiples of increases in their net worth, but will have to be willing to ride out volatile times.

I have been most frantic in urging everyone I’ve talked to, to buy more silver while these lower prices occur, a gift from the money powers.  Since the precious metals are diametrically opposed to paper money, it is in the evil people’s best interest to ‘demonize’ the metals, and use their puppet MSM to convince most people to stay away from them (as they buy up the metals themselves).  Remember, the saying goes this way: “Those who have the gold make the rules”, not “Those who have the dollars make the rules”.

The dollar will soon go the way of the dodo.  It is nearly a fait accompli.  Ben “helicopter” Bernanke said it as much years ago when asked about deflation versus inflation, and his response went something like this: “If need be, I will drop dollars from a helicopter to keep the economy going”.   We see the government has no intention of shrinking itself, and is increasing its spending despite declining revenues (read: taxes).  The government has only two ways of increasing their dollar reserves: 1) higher taxes and tax revenue, or 2) increasing the number of dollars, via borrowing and printing.  We already know tax revenue will not recover to any sustainable level, as in EVER in the current system, so the only other option is borrowing and printing money.  They will print money until it is worthless, but at least the debt, in theory will be gone.  But carnage will result and it will devastate those not prepared.  The writing is on the wall; the dollar is “toast”.  And once again, gold and silver will be the king of money as it is meant to be.

BE PATIENT!!!!!

George Offerman

I’ve had several people comment on or more apt “freak out” over the steep decline in the price of silver in the past few trading days.  Despite the fact I have warned the readers of this blog that the precious metals are a most volatile market (and highly leveraged and manipulated) the precious metals have been in an 11 year bull market that is nowhere near its conclusion.  In fact, it has barely started and will take off with great earnest in one solid direction (up) once the average individual gets the scam that paper money really is, and that the green in one’s wallet is as worthless as expired lottery tickets.  This day of reckoning is most likely much closer than any of us think, and it will be then that many who are now ‘freaking out’ will be extremely grateful they acted when they did.

When markets are volatile, is when people need to use sound judgment and reasoning, and not act on raw emotions.  For instance, those who emailed me yesterday when silver dropped to $27 and change are silent now that silver is above $32.  I know that I was looking for more money over the weekend, hoping to get a purchase order in before the market did what it did, and unfortunately, was unable to get my hands onto enough to get me more.  However, I do know through very reliable sources that many of the dealers are short of metal now, as the buying has been very intense.  The smart money is buying on dips as in the past few trading sessions, and it takes that much more of the metal off the markets, which only hastens the ‘day of reckoning’ that is soon to visit places like the CRIMEX and the bad people as in the money powers.

So for the sake of sanity, I will run through some information for those who are in ‘freak out mode’ and it will give one a framework in which to place days like the past few, in a proper context.  So here are some questions one can ponder in order to assess the current happenings.

Q:  What happens when an individual, corporation, or country chronically spends more than they take in?  A: they go broke and default due to unsustainable spending and debts that cannot be repaid.

Q: What has more value, an item that is limited, and its number reduced on a daily basis, or something that can be created at will and can be increased at will?  A: the item that is limited and decreasing in availability.

Q: Which form of money has been universally used successfully over nearly all of recorded human history? Is it: a) paper money, or b) precious metals?  A: b precious metals have over a 6,000 year history and only in the last 40 years has it been removed from the monetary system of the whole world.

Q: Has any country, in the history of the world ever defaulted when using precious metals as money?  A: no, none recorded in human history.  However, there are numerous incidences in which gold and silver coins were debased using other metals, and this caused economic crashes in these cases.

Q: Has any country in the history of the world ever defaulted when using paper currency as money?  A: yes.  In EVERY RECORDED CASE paper money has failed.

Q: Which is our government making more of: a) paper money, or b) precious metals?  A: a) paper money.  Precious metals can’t be made.

Q: Which is harder to come by, paper money that takes little effort to print, or precious metals that must be discovered, mined, refined, coined and delivered?  A: precious metals.

Q: Can you eat gold and silver if you’re hungry?  A: no, but you can’t eat a $100 bill salad either.

Q: When food is scarce, what will be a medium of exchange that most will accept as payment is it: a) paper money in ever increasing denominations or b) precious metals, which has held its value for time immemorial?  A: b) by far.

Q: Where then, is the safest place to store my wealth or put for the security of me and my family in times of inflation or hyper inflation: a) precious metals or b) paper money and treasury bonds?  A: precious metals because they cannot be printed or counterfeited.


These are some of the questions that ought to help someone who is experiencing doubts about his purchases of precious metals, or is contemplating purchases.    Many commentators are claiming the fall had to do with the technical charts showing an overbought position, and as a result, the price of the precious metals needed to come down.  However, these same people are not commenting on the technical charts that have shown an oversold condition in which the dollar ought to be rising but has been steadily dropping for over five years.

The fundamentals of both precious metals and the dollar have not budged one inch.  The dollar will continue in free fall because we are printing and spending more dollars than what exist, and this is an unsustainable position to be in.  The precious metals will continue going up because they are finite, and have represented money from the dawn of time.  Soon, both gold and silver will take its rightful place in the world's markets, and then it will be seen as what it truly is: precious metals.

Finally, I'm attaching a link to a video that everyone ought to see.  This trader is admitting a crash is coming, but even more incredible is his admission that governments don't run the world, but the money powers, specifically Goldman Sachs.

Try as I may, I cannot help but to keep commenting on the financial realm as the events are unfolding at such a pace, that my head is spinning.  I wish it weren’t so, but it’s of no use to deny the reality around us and pretend all of the many trivial matters still being pursued by the majority actually mean anything.  It seems like the majority of the people I talk to are aware of the elephant in the room, but don’t want to know or hear anything other than information that allows them to stay in their “things are getting better and this will not last’ mode.  Despite the temptation of falling into that trap, it is not going to happen, and what is happening better be paid attention to, and acted upon, or it will end up very badly for those who are unprepared.

I had a lengthy conversation with my wife about this a couple of days ago.  These are matters we have been anticipating and discussing for several years now and we are even amazed at how many ‘hits’ this economy is taking, and has yet to fall.  This phenomena, however, will not continue on for much longer, and we are both in agreement this economic system is terminal, and it is only a matter of how much time we have and it is no longer an issue of ‘can’ it get better.

It gives me no pleasure to write about these matters on a regular basis, as this is a very unpleasant topic with very unpleasant outcomes.  But it is more difficult to stay silent when it seems the evidence all around points in one direction, and it is that of total collapse of the current system.  Fundamentally, there is no possible way we can continue on the trajectory we have set ourselves onto, and it is the lack of honesty and integrity by those in charge that is going to cause the most pain (and death) which is so avoidable.  There is no urgency in any of these matters, and the political and financial (and to a large degree, the Church) carry on as if we have all the time in the world and believe “We are America, we are blessed, and God would never allow us to fail”.

I told my wife that I am really sad and grieve for those who have not prepared.  It pains me to see the trivial being pursued by the masses and the deliberate deception perpetrated by elected officials, financial representatives, the media and the Churches.  Most of these people will come out after the fact and claim with straight faces that “We didn’t see this coming, and really no one could have seen this coming”.  Lies, lies and more lies.  These are the same people who now say to trust in them, and want the majority to put their faith in them.  Unfortunately, the majority are doing just that, and it will be these actions that will be the ultimate downfall of these people.

Right now, gold and silver are having a huge sell off, and are being trashed by the financial world and MSM as being in a ‘bubble’.  They will never discuss how the masses are being deceived into seeking ‘safety’ in Treasuries and the dollar, of which both are printed at will and at an ever increasing amount.  Instead, they trash God’s money, metals that are very limited in amounts and cannot be counterfeited.  They have managed to convince the majority that an infinite supply of paper has more value than a commodity universally recognized as money that is in limited supply that is ever decreasing in availability.  They have convinced the majority to ignore buying any of this metal as a hedge against the shenanigans they are doing, and they will have no sympathy for the common man when TSHTF.

If there is ever a time to buy into the precious metals, it is now.  They are deeply discounted, and who doesn’t like a good sale!  It is counter intuitive when concerning money matters, and is outright scary when one goes against the ‘majority’ when it seems clear the majority put their faith in paper that has no intrinsic value.  This is a time to look at the facts, and not let emotion take over.  This is the time to make a move that may ultimately be the difference between surviving and dying.  These are dangerous times that require great urgency in action and there is not the luxury of time to waste.

So I will continue to harp on this point regardless of how many readers may be turned off by it.  I can’t stay quiet when I can see these matters so clearly and believe they are on our doorstep.  I can’t continue on in silence when I see most in this society walking around in a comatose state and seemingly unaware of what is ready to befall them.  Once this collapse hits critical mass, most will not believe the speed in which things happen, and it will be then that the masses will find a need for urgency, but by then, the exits will be blocked and it will be too late.

It’s ugly now, and about to get so much worse.  I don’t think even I can understand or grasp the nature of what we are about to witness.  And I have been reading about this matter for years.  Never in the history of the world has every nation used paper money and there is no precedent in which to refer to in history to predict what it will look like.  All one can know for sure is it will not be good, and it will require a total revamping of the way mankind does his finances.  The world as we know it is passing away right now as we watch.  We can choose to do something about it and possibly benefit ourselves, our family and our community, or we can continue on with bread and circuses and find when it hits critical mass, that we, along with the emperor, have no clothing.  Your choice.  Choose wisely.  And have some urgency and purpose behind your choice.

GOD'S MONEY

The series of posting I will be running are from 2 years ago, and are not in this site's archives.  I think the timing of these postings are very relevant to the current financial conditions we are seeing.  The writing is on the wall for anyone willing to look, and the time is short to do much about our condition otehr than personal preparation.



George Offerman

I was with a group of pro lifers recently, and the topic of the economy came up.  We have been discussing this topic for several months, ongoing, and the consensus seems to be that God is involved in these current times, and that the love of money has been front and center of our problems.  I told them, and continue to believe this economy will never get better, and there are good reasons for this.

One may ask “what does the economy have to do with pro life”.  My answer is EVERYTHING.  What is the main reason cited for abortion? Mainly convenience and ‘choice’.  Why does one need the ‘choice’ or convenience? The down and dirty answer is money.  We never have enough, and it seems the other side continually pushes the false allegations that we live in a world of scarcity, and this includes money (or the lack thereof).

The current money, known as Federal Reserve Notes (FRN) is printed at will, and as we can see, the printing has increased exponentially in the past two years.  When money can be printed at will, or out of ‘thin air’, abuse is soon to follow.  Our national debt, not including the unfunded liabilities (promised future benefits with no money to pay for them) stand at nearly 12 Trillion dollars.  The interest alone on this debt is nearing half a Trillion annually.  Currently, the largest holder of U.S. debt (U.S. Treasury bonds) is China, with roughly 1.7 trillion.  Obama is talking about another 9-10 trillion of additional debt over the next ten years, and this will raise the interest payments alone to nearly 1 Trillion dollars per year. 

This in turn, takes away from productivity, and creates a downward spiral of debt: the more debt we have, the more we must borrow to pay today’s bills, thus owing more interest that then requires more borrowing, etc.  The more money spent on interest, the less to spend on real needs, and thus the artificial ‘scarcity’ built into the system.  When one feels the constant pressure to ‘downsize’, they look at potential liabilities.  Children are one of the greatest expenditures parents can have, and unfortunately, become the largest liabilities, and are thus seen as expendable.

Now, where does all of this interest go?  Interest is paid to bond holders, such as China, for the U.S. Treasuries, but interest is also ‘owed’ to the Federal Reserve for ‘lending’ the money to the Treasury department in the first place.  So in essence, we pay interest to the Federal Reserve for the ‘privilege’ of creating this money out of thin air to begin with.  Interest payments are sent directly to the Federal Reserve (Which is a private corporation and this payment is not subject to income tax) and this money is never to be seen again in the economy as we know it. Taking a trillion dollars annually out of an economy definitely causes scarcity, and validates the whole premise of what Obama is trying to sell to the public with his current health care scam.

God is clear what his money is: Silver and Gold.  God deliberately created a nominal amount of the ‘precious metals’ as a way to minimize the ‘shenanigans’ He knew we would get into if there was a nearly unlimited amount.  When money is limited, and cannot be counterfeited, commerce is always conducted on a ‘cash and carry’ basis, and there is little or no need for any interest bearing instruments in which to enslave one.

When the money supply is steady, there is no inflation, thus no loss of one’s labor, property and ability to secure basic needs if available.  One would also be more aware of taxes as they would have to be paid by coinage on hand, versus deducted out of a check, which merely reflect numbers on a paper. This would create more accountability by government for monetary expenditures.  People would also be more involved, due to having an expanded awareness of where and how their money is being used.

People constantly bring up wars as an example of ‘pro life’ issues.  If we continued to use God’s money, wars would be scarce and limited by the ability or lack thereof to fund them.  There would be little incentive to kill people and break things that then have to be replaced.  When there is no limit to ‘creating’ money, there is no limit to the amount of wars and other sinful behaviors one or a nation can engage in.  Likewise the cutting off of credit is a death knell for the individual or nation who has debt or trying to bankroll day to day life, or in this particular example, the propagation of war.

God intended for there to be stability in life, by having a stable source of money.  One would be able to save and to pass on their life’s fruit without the fear of losing everything due to inflation or debauchery of the currency.  There is more said about money in the Bible than about salvation, and God has made clear that Honest weights and measures is the premier concern when dealing with His money.  The current money scenario is an abomination to God, as it is very dishonest in it is created by one source (Federal Reserve), and created at will with little discipline.

This is why I for one would like to see “In God we trust” removed from the FRN’s and metal slugs we call coinage.  God should not be mocked in such a fashion, and this slogan can be reinstated once we again use the money God, and our constitution intended for us: Silver and Gold.  Until we come up with honest weights and measures, using God’s money, the economy will not come back, as God does not reward sinful and rebellious behaviors.

THINGS ARE STARTING TO HAPPEN

George Offerman

It is really hard to stay focused on many of the matters that seem to be first and foremost in many people’s minds, when it appears to be more obvious on a daily basis that our way of life is going to radically change in the very near future. The people I have been reading now for over a decade have been predicting or ‘prophesying’ many of the events that are now happening. Back then, I thought they were lunatics and ‘conspiracy theorists’, but they have been proven true for the most part. If the average person were to read what these folks are saying now, most would need to change their skivvies and would be walking around in a catatonic state.

We live in a very controlled and rigged world. The powers that are running things are some of the most vile and evil humans to have ever walked this planet. Their master, the devil, hates you and me to the core of his being, and Satan has managed to pass this onto those who are doing his will. These powers see us as nothing more than their slaves and could care less about us unless we produce for them and meet their needs. Once we are past our ‘prime’ we become useless eaters and are expendable. We have had many manifestations of this thinking and there is too much evidence in the public sphere for there to be denial over this.

We have seen this with legalized child killing for the past 38 years. We look at the main proponent of this, planned parenthood, and look at the philosophy of Margaret Sanger, the founder, and see that her whole purpose was genocide of the African American race under the aegis of ‘reproductive rights’. We have the proliferation of evolution and Darwinism, which denies creation and God. We then have had myriads of ‘experimentations’ on people, from forced sterilization to eugenics and a proliferation of questionable practices, such as forcing the populace to take vaccinations and be subjected to any number of chemicals and processes, including genetic modification in the foods we eat.

Those alive and pre born, are subjected to the same hatred. This band of elites does not want to share their wealth, and believe they have God given rights to be our masters and dictate what we are allowed and not allowed to do. They have no intention of letting anyone have any more freedom than what they can wrest from our control (by our permission of course, through passivity). That is why we must resist these sociopaths, and not tolerate nor give into their demands that we become their slaves.

Very few of you may be aware of this, but starting July 15th, sales of precious metals OTC in certain accounts (which would include the CRIMEX) WILL BE ILLEGAL!!!. That’s right, not regulated, but made illegal. So, for those who are beginning to understand the gravity of the times we live in, and want to do something for themselves and families, the window is about to be slammed shut. These people understand that gold and silver are ready to take off, and to put it out of the reach of the average individual is a nice trick to ensure these sociopaths get all the metal, and thus, the control of nearly all commerce. They don’t want to share any wealth with you, the slave, so they are brazenly taking your rights to purchase metals on the exchanges, thus cutting off a significant avenue for the common man to obtain significant amounts of metals.

http://politicalmetals.com/2011/06/20/trading-of-over-the-counter-gold-and-silver-to-be-illegal-beginning-july-15/

This is only the start. Once these sociopaths take away our right to purchase gold and silver (which by the way is constitutionally mandated money) they will have full control over all assets. Gold and silver are the only means of having any property that does not have a bank number or any number that can be traced by the government, and as such, cannot be taken away by simply putting a hold or freezing accounts remotely by computer. Ownership of these metals allows for much freedom, and come thirteen days from now, our ‘benevolent’ government is going to take away a significant avenue in your ability to get the metals. All in the name of ‘safety’ for the consumer.

We are really at the end of the line, folks. I don’t care who thinks I’m crazy for saying this because what I and others are saying is happening right before our eyes, and it will not be long from now that even the most dimwitted will understand what has happened to them. But it will be too late and slavery will be in full swing for the unprepared majority. The death of our economic reality is on the doorstep, and the death of comfort and convenience is right behind. We had better be prepared and be willing to make moves that may be mind boggling now, but will be seen as lifesaving in short order.

WHAT'S COMING NEXT?

George Offerman

Any person out there paying any amount of attention would have to come to the conclusion that world matters are escalating at a pace not seen in our lifetimes. There has always been speculation about the end of times and when it would take place, so there may be some ‘end of the world’ fatigue experienced by many. This post is not about predicting or making a ‘pronouncement’ about this time being the end of times, but a challenge to people out there to contemplate what is going on around them, and to look at the evidence and assess whether the ‘happenings’ are related to our sinful way of life.

We have the very open worship of money as our modern god, as the majority sees money as the primary problem solver. When money is lacking, problems grow, and many seek, if not dream and scheme about how to get more. God is no longer in the equation and is not even considered by the majority as the source one can count on to solve problems. Because God is the creator and number one lover of free will in the universe, He is the prime mover in allowing us to have what we crave. He will allow us to wallow in our own slime and crap until we either figure it out and ask for repentance, or until we fill our cup of iniquity, and He steps in with Divine Judgment.

Since money is the greatest of the gods, it will be the first to go. As mentioned before, we are now in the midst of an economic collapse and it is here, right now. It is not an issue of whether one sees it or not, as it is still in the slower, initial phases, but soon enough it will be most evident to the dimmest of sheeple and it will be unmerciful. The economic collapse is judgment, not mercy, and will soon have our undivided attention. At that time, some will begin to ‘get it’ and will approach the Living God with humble and contrite hearts. The majority will not, and thus, more judgments will take place.

Comfort and convenience, two other gods of worship will be taken out and will follow quickly on the heels of the economic collapse. With the money system destroyed, it will make conditions very stressful, and accomplishing what used to be the simplest of tasks will now require great efforts and expenditures of time and energy. All of the insane regulations that governed modern life up until now will no longer apply, as the majority of people will be focused on survival as their primary task. What used to be presumed as status quo will disappear, and there will be great lamenting over how things have become and how this could have been avoided by simply following the time tested tried and true way of life.

There will be much anger directed towards those entities most responsible for what is befalling us. What is unknown is whether these entities will be able to deflect and distract the masses enough to make their escape. The truth will come out at some point, and the masses will find out they have been scammed by the money changers and their life’s labors have been ripped off. This will eventually lead to great social unrest and possibly upheaval. Very little mercy will be shown to those seen as the cause of the problems, and we will once again relive parts of world history that we now claim we are ‘too sophisticated’ to do ourselves.

My hope and prayers are that we successfully transition through these times of purification and come out a stronger and more humble people. Our way of life is coming to an end, and preparation on an individual basis ought to be top priority, or one will have no excuse when these events take off in earnest. We are to be children of the light, and as such, should not be taken off guard if we take any time to pray and see the signs of the times. It is now upon us, and the time to act is now.

THE MATRIX WE LIVE IN

George Offerman

When thinking about these times we live in, it seems so surreal that sometimes I have to wonder if what I am seeing can be real. There is such a dichotomy of events and happenings and it seems one must have to be experiencing cognitive dissonance in order to make it through a ‘normal’ day, as if the word normal has any meaning anymore. Just when it seems like things cannot get worse, something worse happens and it is spun somehow as a positive thing in some instances, and by others, seen as an evil, and the event is utilized to take advantage of the masses to instill yet more control and regulation over our lives. What is more incredible, is how the vast majority out there accept this as ‘normal’ and put little to no thought into it.

“The Matrix” is one of my all time favorite movies. Released in 1999, it depicted a future time in which the human race was controlled by machines, with chips implanted in their brains to control all of their reality, and thermal energy created by the body was used as an energy source. The vast majority of the people had no idea about the matrix, and only a few had some understandings of the powers that lie just out of sight. Those that attempted to explain the Matrix to the lead character Neo (played by Keanu Reeves) could not use a language that would spell out the reality of the matrix, and the only way for Neo to understand this reality was to see it for himself:

"Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."

Our current system needs to be seen for what it is: corrupt. Unfortunately there are too many that want to walk around blinded by their own biases and mistaken beliefs that all is right, or that things will get better, as if by a magical power. Our system is run by those who do not have our best interests in mind, and this is evidenced by the continual propagation of trillions of debt being created and shoveled towards our citizenry to pay off. Up is down, right is wrong, freedom is slavery and increasingly stormy times are being sold as clear blue skies and happy times are coming soon.

"The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."

"What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad."

I have had too many of my clients come in and make statements nearly verbatim of the two listed above. Many exchange the word matrix for government, bureaucracy, or even certain individuals in their lives. I have also heard and witnessed large increases in anxiety over ‘world events’ and themes of a common dread of a bleak future by people of all ages and social stratification. Like the line in the movie, most ‘cannot put their finger’ on the problems, but have a deep foreboding about the future, and know things are very wrong in the world. The problem is, many do not want to take this matter to its logical conclusion, and find the first cause in the matter.

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill -- the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill -- you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."

It takes guts and perseverance to look at the state of things as they are, and to formulate a picture of where we are going. Many want to believe they have opted for the red pill, and are fed the pabulum passed out by the matrix, but have really taken the blue pill, and continue on in their world of make believe in which the government will take care of their problems, and some one else will ride to the rescue when TSHTF. Being awake at this late hour will lead one to the conclusion that we are on the verge of catastrophic change that most cannot even begin to envision, yet prepare for. But lack of vision and lack of preparation will neither excuse, nor stop what is occurring and what will be the eventual outcome of these problems.

What are these problems? According to the masters of the matrix, it is created by the likes of the tea party people, religious zealots, those that hoard gold, silver, food, water and in general fear mongers that want to scare the daylights out of 'the masses'. It is those in control of the matrix that want to blame anyone but themselves for the mess and turmoil they have created by their own greed, selfishness, stupidity and incompetence. Because the masses have been conditioned to not think for themselves, and buy into the matrix controlled media and information centers, they blindly jump into this mode of hate and blame, and ultimately do the work and biddings of the masters of the matrix, and they have the luxury of hiding their identity and purposes of creating the chaos they are only capable of doing.

If the masses were to wake up and truly understand the 'reality' we truly live in, the masters of the matrix would be lynched before daylight tomorrow. We don't have much time to change the course of history, but every day that goes by in which the masses are enamored with Dancing with the Stars, Survivor, American Idol and all of the murder mysteries out there, the more off guard the masses will be caught, and the more useless suffering and death will occur and the more power the matrix will have in spinning their double speak and getting those who do not think for themselves to do their master's bidding.

We need to wake up and we need to fight back. We need to take back what is rightfully ours, and get over the fear of losing. For if we don't act on what we know to be true and right, we have already lost, and will pay the very high price of allowing this evil to take over and enslave us.

THE DEMI$E OF THE DOLLAR

George Offerman

For those who believe this is unrelated, or very unrelated to legalized child killing, I want you to consider a few things first. If a country can be that jaded that it kills its most innocent without abandon, and with only a ‘show’ of a fight by the forces of good, this country is just as jaded when it comes to the prospects of using fake money in lieu of real money. Make no mistake, our paper money is fraudulent, and has been since the day it was implemented. It will soon go to its intrinsic value: $0. For those who doubt this, do a little research on the history of money, and you will soon discover that paper money has a 100% track record of failure. It is the antithesis of God’s money, which cannot be printed at will, and is limited for many reasons. Just because one does not understand this principle, or if they outright reject it, does not invalidate God’s very clear mandates on what money is and how it is to be used. If one does not want to know, then they deserve whatever comes their way as a result of this willful ignorance.

Bernanke and the FED decided to meet a day after the elections in order to facilitate their next fiasco, dubbed QE2, for quantitative easing, second edition. The rest of the world no longer has blinders on, and they are very aware that this will doom their long-term investments in our debt through U.S. Treasury notes. It has become clear to the rest of the world that we are no longer able to pay our debts, and these investments will be lost. Our creditors, lead by China are going about re writing financial systems without our input, and we will soon be left in the cold concerning our ability to purchase even the most mundane of products, no longer manufactured in our country. The pursuit of the ‘good life’ via borrowing over the past 20 + years will be coming to a very abrupt ending in the next few months to two years, and there is NOTHING anyone can do about it.

Bill Gross of PIMCO, the “Michael Jordan’ of bonds, has declared the 30 year Treasury note ‘dead’. This is a very large deal, due to the fact Mr. Gross is the most successful bond trader on the planet, and he is very in tune with the movements of large amounts of money. The reason for such a dire proclamation is due to the need to have higher interest rates for long term bonds, in order to lure money into them, coupled with the larger fact of the bond holder believing they will get their money back after the term of the bond expires. The world clearly understand they will get neither a good interest rate, and nearly all now believe they will never see their money again. The ability to fund our deficits are over, and it will be the FED purchasing bonds, to create an artificial market for this junk. But the more money they print and spend on bonds, the lower in value the current bonds become, and the less purchasing power the bondholders now have when (if) their money is returned.

This most likely will result in our over bloated numbers of dollars in print being repatriated, and say hello to hyperinflation. At that point, the only currency the world will accept from us will be God’s money: gold and silver. If one understands how little of these metals exist, they will begin to understand what prices they will attain once God’s money once again takes front and center. It has been stated that for every trillion added to the world economy, that adds another thousand dollars per ounce to the price of gold. Well, the amount that has been batted around concerning the QE2 has been anywhere from .6-3 trillion over the next several months. So minimally, this guarantees gold at $3,000 per ounce and silver at $200 per ounce, as a FLOOR. Even Jim Cramer, the maestro of paper products has been talking $2,000 gold, and mentioned on his show earlier in the week that “No one I know has gold in their portfolio, but they need to get some”.

No one with any sense can argue with the massive increase in the prices of both gold and silver in the past several weeks. These metals will continue their increase over the next several years, and attain prices that cannot even be imagined at this time. I like to tell the skeptics that mining is fairly constant in the amount of production. 2010 numbers are 82.5 million oz. gold and 704 million oz. silver worldwide. Compare that to a declaration by a banker that they will ‘create’ between .6-3 trillion DOLLARS by fiat, or declaration. Now, what is behind this ‘new’ money that gives it value? Nothing. However, if gold and silver were to ‘monetize’ these created dollars, we would be adding many zeros behind the current prices of both metals, and that is just considering the U.S. debt. But because this post is covering the dollar, we will stay focused on U.S. debt. The dollar will soon be rejected as the ‘reserve currency’ of the world. And when that happens, we will be very much like Greece, and have to have assets in which to purchase all of our foreign goods. The metals will be the only thing most of these countries will be interested in, so their prices will have to do a ‘moon shot’ in order to continue obtaining any type of goods we have grown accustomed to having.

So, here we are. We are now at the endgame of this monopoly money experiment, and the losers are the common folk. We are the ones who are going to pay the price of this folly, but we also contributed to this mess by playing the game, and buying into the scheme that we can borrow our way to prosperity. This bill is now due, and those who threw the party are attempting to sneak out the back entrance, leaving us the bill. Well, the bill needs to be paid, and paid it will be. We better prepare.

WHY GOD'S MONEY IS GOING TO WIN OUT IN THE END

George Offerman

There are those who have yet to ‘get it’ about the times and situations we are living in, and want to continue to put faith in the fiat currency that is used world wide. Never in the history of the world has every nation used paper money and not God’s money, and this is the ultimate set up for the largest opportunity in world history to transfer wealth to those who understand and obey the Word of God. No matter how much one studies the Bible; they will NEVER find any of God’s references to money as being paper script. God’s references about money are ALWAYS GOLD AND SILVER.

For one to grasp the ‘dollar amount’ I am going to give silver at the end of this posting, they first must make a paradigm shift in their head. This is similar to an adult learning a second language: they want to convert the new language to their native language in their head, and thus, it takes much longer than a child, who ‘rolls with the punches’ and is babbling fluently in a new language in about 2 weeks. So I will be referring to silver by the ounce, not by denomination like we are used to. But before that, there needs to be an understanding of what money is.

Money’s primary purpose is as a medium of exchange, in which it can be used to buy or exchange one item for another between two individuals who agree on the value of the items. Money must be divisible, durable, portable, limited in supply, a stable unit of account and fungible, and mostly a stable medium of storage over time. If we look at modern currency, it has some of these elements, but it fails in the most important aspects that it is unlimited through printing and as a result inflation is killing its ability to be a stable medium of storage for wealth over time. For all practical purposes, a $100 note is no different than a $1 note, and these pieces of paper do not have any intrinsic value. By printing more of these ‘notes’, the notes in circulation become worth less, and it is this hidden tax, called inflation, that ultimately causes the problems we are experiencing at this time.

Gold and silver, however, are very limited and have great intrinsic value. These precious metals must be discovered, mined, refined and minted before they can be circulated, and this is a process that involved a great deal of labor. An FRN $100 face value is created for $.04 and is limited only by the number of trees that can be cut down and processed into paper. When money is limited, there is no inflation, and the greatest aspect of money, holding its value to be passed on, is left intact. If one were to bury 100 oz of silver coins, and a $100 FRN, and these were dug up in 100 years, the silver would minimally have maintained its value, while the $100 FRN would end up in a museum as an ‘artifact’. There can be no comparison in a material that is rare and takes a great deal of effort to obtain, versus something that can be printed at will, and have zeros added to it by proclamation. There is no question we are at a turning point in our economic history and if one wants to have any chance of surviving intact, they’d better look at God’s money as part of the solution.

Why are the precious metals going up now? Because people around the world, no matter what religion, political affiliation or level of education know that gold and silver are money, and understand it is the safest place to be when all other forms of money fail. This was instilled by God, and all of the ‘sophisticated thinking’ will never drive this out of man. Good luck to the incompetent, inbred idiots known as the money powers, as they try to force their toilet paper down the throats of the people. Too many have woken up to the fact that this multi colored monopoly paper is worthless, and have been exchanging it for the real thing, and causing a shortage in the metals. Good luck holding the price down, you idiots.

Now, to the piece in this posting most want to see. I have long held these prices in my head, and have told a few people privately where I think the prices should be, and where they may possibly go. To fully understand the quotes I will soon give, will require a paradigm shift. One must think of money as a tangible asset, mainly coinage, and that it is the coinage in exchange for goods that is the main engine of commerce. To try to convert this into dollars all of the time will result in headaches, but also numbers so large that they will seem to be out of reality as we know it. The prices I will be quoting are coming from simple math equations and historical and Biblical data.

Where should the price be today? History shows that for much of the existence of our country, good daily wages for skilled labor was 1 ounce of silver (1 dollar). If we look at today’s average wage (source: U.S. Department of Labor) we come out with two numbers. The median income in America, including all part time and seasonal workers comes out to $16.27 per hour or $130.20 per 8 hour day. Excluding part time and seasonal, this increases to $20.20 per hour or $161.60 per 8 hour day. If we look at the nominal high of silver in 1980 at $50, and consider the real rate of inflation using John Williams www.shadowstats.com site, we come up with $178.00. So, starting with the most conservative of these numbers (and remember 1 oz of silver per day was for skilled labor) we come up with a minimal price per ounce in 2010 dollars of $130.20, to a maximum of $178.00 for inflation adjusted prices.

If those numbers are eye popping, these will truly get your attention. If we go by much of the world history, and Biblical times, the average pay per day was a denarius, which most historians and Biblical scholars agree was about a tenth of an ounce of silver. We also know from Revelation that a day’s wages again will be a denarius. So, we know that in the past, and in the future a day’s wages stayed the same. If one ponders this, it shows: 0% inflation!!!!!! That is truly in the realm of what God expects and what ought to be the way thing are now.

So using these numbers, we then multiply all of the above numbers by 10, to come up with a range between $1302.00 and $1780.00 per ounce. And this is in 2010 dollars. Considering that most ‘hot commodities’ enter what is called a bubble, and the most recent bubbles have ‘overshot’ the real values (such as homes 3-4 years ago) we can multiply these numbers by 2-3, or come up with a range between $2604.00- $3906.00 on the low range to $3560.00 - $5340.00 on the high range. One needs to study the history of money, and precious metals to begin to understand the potential in them. The price of precious metals will continue to rise because they are undervalued and are being attacked from all angles by the money powers.

The ultimate reason the precious metals will rise to unbelievable heights is because God, the creator of all things, has mandated it. The incompetent, inbred idiots know as the money powers cannot mock God, and ‘trash’ his money without severe consequences. These idiots soon will pay this price, and those smart enough to get on this train are going for a ride of a lifetime.

MORE FREEDOMS LOST

George Offerman

We are watching our freedoms being taken away at the speed of light, and these wayward politicians know they can get away with it. The dark powers are getting so close to their master plan that they can taste it, and will only encourage them to move faster. What am I referring to? The recent disclosure of the need to report to the government any purchase above $600, starting Jan 1 2012, which will require a 1099 form, which will REQUIRE you to give your social security number to merchants, with other sensitive information, that will be an identify thieves dream come true. Wal-Mart has also been placing RFID chips on all of their clothing, and thus, your purchase, and you can be traced if one has the ability to scan for these items.

The hell care bill was literally passed in the dead of night (which is where it should have stayed) and Nancy Pelosi openly boasted about passing the bill in order to know what’s in it. That is cronyism at its highest level, and totally intolerable for a supposed elected ‘representative of the people’. Now we know why they had to ‘sneak’ it through (and more nightmares are soon to follow). It explains why these hooligans put in for an additional 16,000 new IRS agents (too bad they did not fund 16,000 new border patrol agents) that will in essence, be tasked with making sure this new tax stream is collected on.

With having to fill out a 1099 form, businesses will be very burdened with the new demands of gathering this sensitive information, and informing the government of all significant purchases by the average American. This leaves very little privacy, and disallows for any significant purchases of anything, especially gold and silver (and guns). The government will then have the tools to ‘confiscate’ any of these items, as they know who has what, and where it is. (And don’t you believe for a moment they will not abuse this power). This provision has no business being in a hell care bill, and needs to be repealed. There is a movement in both Houses to repeal this section of the hell care bill, and we need to support them in this.

There is no valid reason for the government sticking their snot ridden bureaucratic noses in any more of our business and personal affairs. Their excuse is to capture ‘lost tax revenue’ to pay for the takeover of the healthcare sector that no one wants. The IRS needs to collect all of the unpaid taxes from the income stream of the PRIVATE Federal Reserve, since its inception in 1913. That amount alone would wipe out most of the debt, and bring about true parity of ‘everyone paying their fair share”. But it won’t happen. We need to be involved in the political world now more than ever, and if we don’t and things continue on as is, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Wal-Mart is ready to open Pandora’s Box by utilizing RFID chips. Where Wal-Mart goes, so does the rest of America. This abuse of privacy, along with the majority’s compliance, is only furthering the acceptance of the population to an eventual mark that will be required to participate in everyday commerce. It is unfortunate that we have gone this far in our society, that any breach of privacy can be explained away with the stupidest excuses by the powers that be, and the majority will continue to take it like the sheep they have become. We are watching history repeat itself, yet we claim to be the smartest and most sophisticated people in the best society to ever exist on this planet. It is high time that we do something, or we just might as well go into our cells now. Say no to this abuse, and make a stink about it.

Freedom is a precious thing, and it is taken for granted. Our founding fathers sacrificed too much for it to be given away in such a simplistic manner as it is. The zombified population silently and obediently walks to the slaughter, while believing the whole time life is actually getting better for them. Its time to wake up and make some changes in our lives that will bring back our God given freedoms. Send the dark powers back to hell where they came from and where they deserve to spend eternity.
