  • Mega thinks about a Gold standard

    Good evening Itulipers
    Rather than me posting a few links to British news papers or an anti-loose money rant I thought we try to discuss the future. As I see it we are heading for a Gold Standard of some sort.

    “They” despite to hang on to the empire have pushed the idea of the SDR. It took EVERYONE on the Planet about 3 nano seconds to suss that it was just another FIAT paper money scam that would solve nothing.

    “They” killed Gold in 1971 & no way did they want its return, with a Gold standard it would not have been possible for the ffice:smarttags" />US to invade/Kill so many & be the Assholes of the World (with some British/French help)?lt;o:p>

    No, the World has had enough of “America the brave” & no number of false flag terror events are now going to help. I think the 1st sign was when the Russia President held up a Gold coin at a “Brics” confence. This was noted but “They” said no & proceeded with the non-event SDR.

    The Stalemate carried on till Robert Zoeluck over at the World Bank let slip that some currency with some form of Gold backing “might” be a way forward. The logjam was broken …..i suspect major talks have been going on since then. I think at this point there are a number of things we must ask ourselves.

    1st what % of backing to give a($) currency?
    I think “They” will offer 40% Gold & perhaps something else……in effect they are offering to pay 50% of the debt of the US…….China etc would have to accept a 50% hair cut.

    2nd Will Gold have a crack up boom then collapse?
    This is were I totally disagree with EJ/Max Keiser….both are saying Gold $3-5,000……..then rocket to upwards & we should sell into strength. I don’t have their years of experience or intellect, all I have is “Layman logic”.

    It tells me that once the connection that Gold is once more money on this planet there will be a move into it. 1.1 billion in India & 1.3 billion in China will want an oz of Gold (not to mention the rest of the World). Once it is seen as a way to hit back at the West & all it stands for I think there will be quite a que!

    Yes, they dirt poor……but becoming richer EVERYday…….No I don’t think Gold will collapse. I think it will be “managed” & I think it will be in everyone’s best interests to ensure that it keeps a high STABLE price.

    Only other question is WHEN?
    2013-2015 ish……….WW3 permitting.

        I agree, Mega. J Sinclair has said as much. Also EJ in his 4th currency moods.

                Will Zimbabwe lead the way to gold-backed Zimbabwean dollar? It amazes me how third world and emerging countries understand fiat vs gold back currency. Do you think this story will make the Financial Times?

                From Zero Hedge
                "Topping off a weekend of surreal news is the announcement from the Central Bank of Zimbabwe that the country is now evaluating introducing a gold-backed Zimbabwean dollar, and, in keeping with the Salvador Dali feel to the past 48 hours, that the "days of the US dollar as the world's reserve currency are numbered."

                  Re: Mega thinks about a Gold standard

                  Meanwhile on the front page of the Washington Post....With the United States poised to slam into its debt limit Monday, conservative economists are eyeballing all that gold in Fort Knox. There’s about 147 million ounces of gold parked in the legendary vault. Gold is selling at nearly $1,500 an ounce. That’s many billions of dollars in bullion.

                  “It’s just sort of sitting there,” said Ron Utt, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation. “Given the high price it is now, and the tremendous debt problem we now have, by all means, sell at the peak.”

                    Don't worry. We have until Canada buys 50 tonnes before we know we're almost there

                        Speaking of bottoms what do you all think the bottom for the dollar will be?

                        Listening to John Williams, he thinks we could hit the basement.

                            No link, spoke to John.

                            I dont want to misquote John but the impression was lower than you and I can imagine. I figured maybe another 20-30% drop. My guess was way off from his comment.

                            He mentioned close to 7-9 trillion of unrecorded foreign holding in us dollars- this is in addition to treasury holding. Sounds like there are two sets of books again. His point in bringing this up is that this additional sum can be sold at any time forcing more money printing. Also, though hyperinflation is not an immediate threat he see double digit inflation in stagflation climate.

                            His focus is where we are at here- the dollar and he is looking at increase in money supply.
