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…

World-wide monetary systems have been built upon the model of the United States dollar. While currently the dollar is still the world’s reserve currency its status as such, could be held into question over the Basel III talks with America. It is widely expected that the US will lead the way in further developments towards gold’s rise to Tier I status.

Within developed countries of the world, the unified consensus is that gold has yet to show any real signs of true-value towards the 41 year old paper currency fiat money system. The system now is starting to break down. Over the past 5 years serious strain and stress has occurred within the current dollar fiat system. Intensifying signs show problematic developments, now and into the future. These developments could be a sign where the current fiat based system is too flawed. This makes a good argument where gold held in reserves would be necessary to increase liquidity, thus granting easier access to loans of nations in need.

How much longer is it going to take before the debt factor inside the euro crisis has reached its limit? Is this whole house of cards about to burn down? Will it be the Germans who ultimately have to pay for the fiscal mistakes that other euro nations made before the fires begin?

The Spanish bonds most surely will hit levels that could exceed seven percent very soon. Greece could possibly still keep the euro, knowing all well that austerity measures will not be able to last into the foreseeable future. Cyprus keeps getting dragged down under enormous amounts of debt now equal to that of Iceland, which is another foreseen hot spot…

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…

By studying history, it is possible to learn how past civilizations have risen and fallen. Repeated mistakes have been made throughout time. These mistakes show us how monetary systems within societies have broken down and collapsed since money was first used.

The Past –

History can show us many things; let’s take the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. The Romans rose to power in 64 AD. by starting out on a solid financial footing. There was a sound money system in place. They started off using 100 percent solid gold and silver coins as a medium of exchange for goods and services. As time passed however, more and more social programs needed funding. More major government projects were taken on, along with more and more wars being fought…

The current monetary system that’s in place is corruptly managed by the greed, power and deception of the world banks and those who run them. Weekly news comes out of illegal bank practices and fraud, its mainstream news anymore. A quick example would be the latest scandal involving LIBOR. It is apparent today that the more reliable an institution is, the bigger the fraud. Libor was the benchmark for loans into the trillions of dollars, for decades.

Libor’s assets are believed to have been connected to transactions globally in the forms of personal, small business and mortgage loans in excess of $500 trillion dollars. Libor was key in the setting of global interest rates. To date the Libor scandal could be the biggest of its kind in history...

In November the next Presidential Election for the US is quickly approaching. The Mayan “end of the world” prophecy for December 12th is closing in. These and other reasons are fuel to which feed upon gold’s value to propel its price towards ever reaching highs at an ever increasing rate.

Major Reasons the Price of Gold Might Double Before the End of 2012.

The Election campaigns between President Obama and Mitt Romney are running very close together according to several major media reports. With a race this close it’s a media frenzy with major ad campaigns and campaign finance money being poured into all forms of advertizing desperately trying to outdo one another’s campaigns. Unemployment is still far away from acceptable levels. Ordinary Americans are spending less and having to constantly tighten up their belt sizes notch by notch. In the end, gold’s value will progressively increase…

The world is currently in the middle of this century’s biggest bull market to date. Unlike the last great bull market for gold and silver in the 1970’s, this time, investors from the four corners of the world will have a chance to take part in the investment opportunity of a lifetime.

During the last great gold rush in the late 1970’s, only investors from the United States and the better part of Western Europe were able to participate. That was because back then, most other nations did not allow physical ownership of gold as it was either illegal to own, not available for investment or not in public demand. Many of the world’s countries including Russia, Eastern Europe, China and India, as well as all other Asian nations, South America and Mexico were incapable of …

Would the world be a better place if it were able to share the same currency? Would it benefit the masses? Honestly, that answer has to be no. The chances of the entire world using the same currency will never have a chance to exist, let’s understand why.

The utmost important factor in argument against sharing a world-wide common monetary unit regardless what that monetary unit might be called, hinges upon one common and certain fact. The loss of each country’s ability to wage war. To begin, all countries would have to be losing their economies at the same time. And from this point forward if a common currency were put into place, each country would lose the ability to create war upon another nation…
