We can learn a great deal about our current monetary system and where it is headed simply by studying monetary history from the past. By doing so, we unlock the truth as to where currencies have repeatedly failed throughout time and why.

What has happened in the past throughout various societies? It’s common in every culture once an established monetary system is set in place, to start deficit spending. Once this spending occurs, countries begin to enter into larger and larger wars. At some point a country will grow up from a small country into a great empire such as the Greek or Roman Empires of the past. As these great societies engage in larger wars more money is needed to finance these wars. From this point government becomes too big and the wars being fought only compound the stresses that hold up the entire financial system…

Central banks & governments have clearly made the choice to paper-over their debts instead of facing their fiscal problems head-on. This action will guarantee printing presses world-wide, to run non-stop. Global debt is already at $1.5 quadrillion dollars. Gold and silver are poised to shoot to the moon.

Globally, politicians and central bankers are taking the path of least resistance, choosing to paper-over national debts thus assuring the creation of a world-wide debt bubble of biblical proportions. The world is simply drowning in its own debt. Spain’s bond rates went back above 7.5 percent. Currently global debt totals about $150 trillion, however once you add the dependencies from governments such as various liabilities, both funded and unfunded along with pension funds you can crank this figure upwards to $500 trillion.

Over the past five years gold has succeeded to outperform the S&P by a long shot. The biggest reason for S&P's decline in value, measured by it's worth in currency or dollars is because the green back itself is not real money.

It's important to note, smart people have been collecting gold. Regardless if these people have collected gold for the long-term or are just now starting. These investors all have the same philosophy. Hang on to your gold, keep collecting it and do not sell an ounce. Because at some point gold's value will exceed rising inflation and save you. What the government has done of course in its attempts to shore up falling home prices within American is actually destroying the dollar and increasing gold's value…

The economy within the United States today is nothing more than a hyperinflationary house of cards just waiting to completely fall apart. America has been down this path before, however today things are quite different than say during the late1970’s through the early 1980’s. Today just one small fragile mistake will allow this house of cards to collapse, taking America right into hyperinflation.
Hyperinflation is defined as a very high rate of inflation or inflation that has gone out of control. There are several definitions, on the low end it’s defined as a consecutive accumulation of inflation over a three year period averaging 26 percent annually reaching 100 percent by the end of the third year. While on the high side, inflation can exceed 50 percent per month. Even lower degrees of inflation will still wipe out savings and purchasing power within a short duration of time…

The whole world is falling apart; it’s not just in America or Europe, but all over the world. Thanks to central bankers and their monetary policies the whole world is being drugged. That drug is a powerful hallucinogen putting everyone into a dreamlike state. The crazy thing is that everyone is dreaming the same dream. All the people around the world dream about fiat money.

Fiat money makes people believe that there is more wealth available today than their actually is. This in effect makes for spending that is not prudent. The reality is that the true amount of wealth perceived by the masses is not truly available. This being said great mistakes are going to be made. There will also be a serious amount of pain coming from all this as a result. The whole world is sinking into a great abyss of worthless paper money…

As far back as the Romans and Greeks, cultures have engaged in deficit spending. These societies have always engaged in large scale wars, as their nations expanded into empires. Major drawbacks to economies or empires include the high costs to engage in these wars. Throughout history these wars have always been funded through too much government deficit spending. At the end, empires always collapse from too much debt. It is at this point where very large scale wealth transfers will occur, to those that are positioned correctly.

What is currently being done today to the US dollar greatly impacts it negatively. Which in-turn is negatively impacting every fiat currency in the world. Sadly today there is no culture, country or currency that is safe from the negative effects of the dollar. Basically stated, if the world's reserve currency is sick and catches a cold it will become contagious…

Has anyone ever wondered how come the United States keeps such a firm hold on its gold bullion? Why is it that America keeps its citizens in the dark regarding the benefits of accumulating gold and silver? Yet the US government is in the business of minting and distributing silver and gold coins. Did you know China publically educates its populace as to the long-term benefits of owning these precious metals?

After France wanted all of its debts redeemed in gold, President Nixon was forced to close the gold window to the world back in 1971. Effectively stopping any further gold redemptions on American debt from abroad and ending the Bretton Woods Agreement. Currently America holds about 8,133 tons of gold bullion. That is around 2.4 times more gold…

Recent events have occurred that put at risk the existence of the US dollar and all other fiat currencies. There are two main gold depositories in the world that hold or have held most of the world’s bullion for the countries that don’t hold their own. They are the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

The first event occurred in early 2011 when Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez announced that Venezuela was taking back all the country’s gold bullion held at the Bank of England. While announcing this, construction was already underway to construct vaults at home for storing Venezuela’s 200 plus tons of bullion…

Hyperinflation is a severe economic event that spreads both physical and monetary devastation throughout entire countries. Throughout history the after effects from these massive economic events have seen whole societies crumble to the ground. I would like to go over several specific steps in which you and your family can prepare for a major economic event such as hyperinflation. We will learn ways of preparedness and how to make preparations that will either prevent or limit the amount physical and financial damage that could possibly come your way, once the economy finally collapses.

The key to your survival is taking action now and preparing in advance, before an economic crisis comes. Once it arrives, if you’re not prepared, then you and your family are going to seriously suffer. Preparedness is all up to you. Do not expect any local or national governments to help you.

Let’s go over these logical steps and learn how to best protect you and your loved ones…

On December 31 2011 President Obama signed into law the new 2012 National Defense Authorization Act. During times of a severe economic crisis anyone can be held indefinitely without being charged of a crime. This is to control and maintain public order. You’re First Amendment rights are being stripped away of legal representation and judicial process. The US Military now has full throttle control of your individual freedoms or rights as a citizen of the United States.

The enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act enables full military policing upon the citizens of the United States. Sadly turning American into one huge police state. During times of a severe economic downturn such as hyperinflation protecting your family and your home are still guaranteed by the 5th Amendment or The Right to Bear Arms. The use of lethal weapons can be the last line of defense in protecting your family from the threat of people who might harm you or get into your food storage and other vital supplies. Your family must maintain these supplies to survive the hardest of times ahead. A threat to your supplies is a direct threat to your family’s existence.

I am going to be covering what types of weapons would be ideal to use in home and personal defense…

Even more important for human survival then food, which is number two is fresh drinking water. For your storage it is vital you have water enough to last for a while. If you have a natural clean source of water nearby and can insure you have access to it that is great. Many will not be as lucky. Bottled water can be stored. One person should consume a minimum of two liters of drinking water per day. A minimum one month supply of fresh drinking water should be stored per person if possible.

Water will take up a lot of your storage space, keeping it in small 1 gallon plastic bottles would be expensive if store bought. Another better and cheaper solution is to have a number of 30 or 55 gallon plastic sealed drums with bung holes and tight fitting screw on bung caps that have been cleaned out with a water/bleach solution. Fill each drum with…

The United States could very well be on the path towards a deflationary collapse, far worse than America experienced during the Great Depression in the 1930’s. However arguably, the likely outcome is going to be even worse. The US is currently on the rails and headed right for hyperinflation and the destruction of the dollar. Overwhelming evidence has been abundant, America has known for a long time this problem exists. Yet the US Government and Federal Reserve have yet to come up with any viable solutions to fix it.

All current indications are pointing to Hyperinflation in the United States, and destruction of the dollar sometime within…

Defining inflation is the slow and on-going price increase of commodities, goods and services observed over a long period of time that reflects rising annual costs for manufactures and consumers. Inflation can be created using two different scenarios. On one hand we can use the quality theory of inflation to determine how inflation is created. On the other hand we can use the quantity theory of inflation to explain it.

To explain the quality theory of inflation we see it as founded upon the belief that a currency being used is acceptable and capable of being traded for goods and services, but also is beneficial to the buyer. However explaining how the quantity theory of inflation works is associated to the aspect of currency. This theory actually takes into account the currency’s supply and demand aspects as well as its nominal value of exchange.

Inflation will create many effects upon an economy both good and bad…

For decades now, the world has been partying wildly, while drinking from the proverbial punch bowl of good times. Ever since the gold window was closed by President Nixon in 1971 governments have increasingly relied upon deficit spending and avoided any real attempts to pay it back. As the saying goes “sooner or later you have to pay the piper”. Sadly, the only forms of payment that have ever been paid towards all of these national debts, has been with fiat currency. In essence, more borrowed money.

The politicians want your votes and they want to keep their cushy jobs full of perks for an eternity. The only way they can guarantee their own job security is to promise the populous everything and constantly go on a deficit spending spree to pay for it. If you’re happy, they remain in their cushy jobs and the cycle just keeps repeating each election year. The Fed is obligated to the politicians; they insure an unlimited supply of fiat currency is available for the politicians to fund all the government programs and handouts…

At the end of WWI Weimar Germany was suffering from rising inflation, which was starting to get out of control. During a two year period from 1921 through 1923 Inflation was running away. During the time, nearing the end of 1923 Weimar Germany would forever be remembered as a place where one of the greatest hyperinflationary events in history took place. When hyperinflation finally took hold of Germany during this time, its devastating grasp wiped out the entire Weimar Society.

These are times where iconic photos taken of the time can be seen in history books. Photos such as a man using his German marks as “wall paper” or of people trying to buy a single loaf of bread while pushing a wheel barrel full of cash around just to pay for it. Another iconic photo of a woman burning her German marks in a woodstove just to keep the bitter cold away. At that time the money was worthless, burning money was cheaper than burning wood to use as fuel for heat. The hyperinflation was so terrible that on November 1st in 1923 at the height of the crisis 1 pound of bread cost 3 billion German marks while a glass of beer cost 4 billion and a pound of meat cost an incredible 36 billion marks.

As the Weimar example shows their devastation and suffering, this could become an economic event to reach America soon enough. Can the United States actually fall into a Weimar Style Hyperinflation?

Inflation is defined as an increase in the overall level of prices for goods and services in an economy over a period of time. Thus as the prices of goods and services increase each unit of currency actually buys less, therefore decreasing the purchasing power of the money.

Hyperinflation therefore is defined as a very high rate of inflation or inflation that has gone “out of control”. During a hyperinflationary event price levels within a specific economy rise very quickly as a function of its domestic currency in contrast to a foreign currency losing its real value at an ever increasing rate....

There is no mistaking it as the world’s largest economy is still bleeding out from the 2007 financial crisis. In spite of the governments questionable attempts to intervene and add buoyancy to the sinking ship “America” foreclosures are still at all time highs, unemployment is way too high and the national debt is over $15 trillion dollars.

Furthermore countries across the planet want out of financing our debt. Their now dumping dollars as fast as possible and either buying gold or other national debt. The overinflating of the US money supply thru QE-1 and QE-2 have caused great concern to countries like China who are now pleading to the US Government to stop inflating the currency as there still holding about 1.3 trillion dollars in their Central Bank...

Investing in physical silver, i.e. silver coin or bullion that you can actually see and feel in your own hands is a great investment. Opposed to paper silver such as silver stocks or ETF’s which are not a very good investment due to higher risks involved rather than owning the precious metal itself.

Along with its big brother gold, silver is extremely effective in maintaining a hedge against inflation by withstanding any severe economic or government crisis. Silver just as gold will always seek its true value insuring that your wealth will be protected in the event a severe economic crisis does occur...
