Largely gone unnoticed, the US dollar has dramatically declined in value since President Nixon took America off The Gold Standard in the 1970s.
We’ve seen stimulus after stimulus being signed, stamped and spent. Where does all that money come from? The Bureau of Engraving and Printing never rests.
In Washington D.C. or Dallas Forth Worth, Texas, train car after train car, loaded with freshly milled paper, rolls in round the clock. Each stiff bill sliced off the guillotine shaves a sliver off the value of the preceding bill - the root cause of inflation.
This unstoppable printing press means every American must re-pay the piper! The People must pay. And where will that money come from? Your pocket and my purse.
Now in 2021, we see the Biden Administration's Afghanistan debacle has led to Saudi Arabia making deals with Russia for military protection. Two new massive oil reserves in China have led to a $270 Billion dollar deal with Russia that didn't settle in the U.S. Petro Dollar, but rather, the Yuan.
When foreign nations start trading with each other in currencies other than the USD, that's an indication of growing distrust of the U.S. government among foreign countries. This tip-toeing out of the USD reflects an erosion of confidence from the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement, when the USD was recognized as the reserve settlement currency of the world.
According to the Federal Reserve Flow of Funds Accounts, nearly 40 percent of printed US bills are being held off U.S. shores. When nations holding those USD notes no longer wish to hold them as their reserve currency, those dollars will flood back into the USA. It will be a tsunami effect. Distrust at home and aboard continues to drive allies and citizens farther and farther apart.
Can you say you trust your government to save you from a natural disaster? Can you trust your government to prevent a financial collapse? Can you trust your government to protect you from a pandemic? When you ring and nobody in government is picking up the phone, when the wait for a doctor stretches from months to years, because they will be on furlough, again, when nurses will strike, when police will stand guard at their own gates, when banks will be boarded up - that's when we will realize we are here.
Be vigilant. Watch where you are going - and watch what's going on. Be in the know - and be known within your community. Pack light with just the necessities - and pack heavy on your Second Amendment rights, if you so chose to claim those rights. Stay healthy and lessen your reliance on pharmaceuticals, if possible.
Stock up on alphabet vitamins which could be your lifesaver. Educate yourself on the basics of health and wellness, study the plants and nature around you and what good they could be of, in the event...
Take control of your financial destiny. The ultimate decision about your financial interests rests on you. Grow food if you can, store clean water, collect precious metals, cryptocurrency, defense weaponry, and collectibles.
When banks are shuttered and the ATMs are strapped for cash, those old 90% silver dimes and quarters will be in high demand. Ultimately, you are your own last line of defense and you are the last thing standing between yourself and the consequences of political posturing and defunct governments.
You know best what's best for you, your family, and those entrusted to your care. Your sovereignty is in your hands. /by Lisa Davis
