This economic meltdown is no accident folks

[Sprocket]

I think it was rescinded in 1976, after Richard Nixon took us off the international gold standard in 1971.  People with gold were required within a certain amount of time to turn it in.  Gold became like drugs, only certain licensed brokers/dealers, industrialists, jewelers, physicians could purchase it.  Coins, bulliion, bars, billets etc. were taken out of circulation and used for International commerce and payments.  If you tried to purchase something with a gold coin, it was similar to counterfiet.  A merchant couldn't deposit it in his bank.  The bank, by law was required to nofify the FBI.

Hi.  Yes, that makes more sense - there are just too many US companies selling gold for it to be illegal!  A quick google confirmed as much:

When were gold restrictions lifted ?   
December 31, 1974 ended the era of private U.S. gold ownership restrictions which had begun in 1933. As of January 1, 1975, U.S. citizens were again free to own gold in any form, including bullion, and in any amount that they can afford, without restrictions or any federal ‘reporting’ of those holdings.

btw, just heard on the news that Congress has forced through the bail-out despite over 90% of tax-payers being against it - so much for "the people have spoken"...

What has made our econemy fall is all the US haters comeing up with every friggin collapse scenerio and capaining for years and years and years consistantly like a brain washing marathon the bullshit was said so much and spread so much that people believed it would happen and then even more people believed now you have a belief system that gets passed on slowly but surely... Then bingo your investors and investment firms even start to believe in this type of shit everyone then jumps ship while the stocks fall and the guy who started it all seeks to be the next big rockafella or what have you ...

Its amazing the system is a belief system reminds me much of religion you believe this that or the other will happen ha!

I can not believe how the masses are consistantly coarsed into such radical beliefs and contrary to the popular vote...

I say the American Econemy is the only econemy that could suffer such a blow and continue down the road as an economic superpower...

If our dollar is worth something after all of this debt then tell me something interesting why is it that everyones dollar is almost just as worthless if not more worthless?

I knew it was comming mass publication has ramifications.

But this is your example of mass publication with this alien ship showing up?
Look at how many actually believe now watch there beliefs get shartered...

The belief that the US will fail or fall will be shatered just as easily as this!!!

WATCH !

Dude,

The economic viability of the US has been set up for a fall since abandoning the gold standard.

Depression is not new.

It happened in 1873 and 1930.

But those times the gov't at least had a hard currency to trade with other countries.

I can usually trade gold for food, but it's much harder to do the same with an idea.

IMHO:

The "collapse" is an orchestrated event to sell the idea of the new Amero which will be 1 Amero to 2 old dollars. This is also the reason that US$ and CA$ are hovering around unity.

Only the top of the pyramid benefits in a pyramid scheme.
