That can bring unexpected results and one should be sort of prepared for those consequences because there may not be enough time to act.<< agreed. so much risk, so little reward and lots of stumbling blocks with razor wire on the other side. my perception, right or wrong, is that THE OWNERS (see george carlin on youtube) have basically partnered with the kabuki actors they've placed in government (through monetary discrimination and the controlled media). i don't see governments decoupling from the financial elite as they are essentially sleeping together - the corporate state, if you will. i know their goal is a one world government, a new world order where elites and international bankers call the shots - because they've said that is their goal for decades. they know they can't do this with a strong american middle class, so they have to bring it to its knees. i simply don't see this fascist (corporate merger with state powers) empire panicking as they orchestrate their predetermined goal. they know it is going to come unglued just like they know they are f*ing the american people with trillions in debt and interest to pay trillions to the richest people on earth with no strings attached. they just lie. there are no consequences even when the lies are obvious. i watched condoleezza rice lie through her teeth claiming, under oath, a memo entitled "bin ladin determined to strike inside america" WAS NOT ABOUT BIN LADEN STRIKING INSIDE AMERICA! nothing happened. the fed broke section 2A of the federal reserve act just shy of 3 decades running... nobody even mentions it, the criminal is time man of the year and the fed is given even more power to break the law and break the competition of its controllers. oh, and the SEC is now above elected official oversight - that was the reward for screwing over the public by ignoring the bernie madoff crimes. i suppose an external force could change the game, but my guess is the corporate diplomats would be sent out to fix that problem and the bankers would find a reason to under take a policy to increase their wealth during that time frame, too. if you value something, keep it close and well defended. either that or have some kick *ss misdirection or insanely secret hiding place. btw, i would not be the least bit surprised to find out that $20k in gold ends up worth more than $200k in a bank that gets closes - even if the gold bullion takes a 50% hit. having said that, GLD might just get shut down, too - so be careful there.
