Investor Jim Rogers Gives Dire Warning on GBTV: ‘That Will Lead to the End of the World as We Know It’

“Jim, economic collapse with the euro: will that lead to a recession?” asks Glenn Beck.
“That will lead to the end of the world as we know it,” answers Jim Rogers, founder of Rogers International Commodities Index. “That will certainly lead to the end of the world as Washington D.C. knows it. There’s no question about that.”
But who is Jim Rogers and what does he know about the global financial situation?
For those unfamiliar with Beck’s guest, Jim Rogers is a famous American investor who, along with George Soros, founded the Quantum Fund, one of the world’s first international funds. Also, as mentioned above, he is the creator of the Rogers International Commodities Index.
He is a well-known proponent of free market capitalism, a successful author, a regular lecturer of finance at the Columbia University Graduate School of Business, and he has been a regular guest on Fox News’ “Cavuto on Business.”
Needless to say, he knows what he’s talking about when it comes to finances and he has repeatedly proven his keen market sense.
“We do live in very perilous times and I hope you’re very careful and I hope you’re prepared,” Rogers said in regards to the growing financial meltdown.
The conversation then turned to the topic of gold and the importance the precious metal may play in the near future.
“Everybody knows what that [gold] is. You’ll be able to sell it, barter it you have to, if it gets this bad,” said Rogers.
But what could create conditions bad enough to force someone to have to barter gold?
A total financial collapse.
Beck asked Rogers to explain difference between a recession, a depression, and the much-feared total collapse.
“Well, a recession is when your neighbor loses his job and a depression is when you lose your job. And collapse is when nobody has a job and there are people foraging in the streets; happened in Argentina 10 years ago, happened in Germany in the early 20s—“
“But it’ll never happen here. This is the United States of America!” Beck interjected.
At that point, for both the host and the guest, trying to keep a straight face became an exercise in futility.
Watch Beck and Rogers discuss everything from the potential food shortages that may occur in the event of a total economic collapse, to the present-day agricultural disaster, and much more via GBTV:

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 4:13pmWHY do you think Ron Paul supporters have been so passionate, and even rude and militant in some cases?
We’ve been AWARE of the PLANNED meltdown that we are on the verge of.
They want to bring what they call “order out of chaos” or a New World Order.
These people plan DECADES in advance.
They OWN the media. They’ve infiltrated our system of Govt. They OWN the banking systems that control our economy. They plan to IMPLODE the economy on purpose!!
This is why they try to get you to think that Ron Paul is “unelectable” or “too soft on foreign policy,” because they are SCARED that people will begin to catch on to what he has been WARNING us about for almost 30 YEARS!!
That is why they try to ignore or marginalize him at all costs. Even to the point of announcing 1st,3rd,4th, and 5th place in the Iowa straw poll. (who came in 2nd??)
We have ONE chance to get it right.
That chance IS Ron Paul.
Iran potentially getting a nuke PALES in comparison to a world wide economic collapse, and disruption in this country like you have never seen.
Kissinger once said (paraphrasing) that the USA would NEVER allow UN troops on their shores, but there will come a day where we will be begging them to save us.
They are at work CREATING those conditions.
You want to control a country? Control the currency.
You want to control the people? Control the food.
Our enemy is not in some far away land. It’s right HERE at home.
WAKE UP!! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 4:24pmIf you are worried about total economic collapse, rest assured you aren’t alone! As always, it’s just around the corner. There is truly only one hedge against the coming financial apocolypse. Gold. As long as you have gold, you and your family will survive.
You’ll need to do your own research, but I‘m confident you’ll find the most trustworthy people at Goldline. The have a reputation for steering their customers in the right direction. If you order now, you can buy rare gold coins for a very low cost, substantially higher than market value!

The only way out is to trade, and price things in, something other than fiat money – preferally precious metals.
Barter is extremely unweildy, so if this fiat money system collapses without a commodity money system in place to catch it, many people will run to a globally managed fiat money system.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 4:31pmLEFT – That will not make him a criminal, if you believe it will then you are missing the point of “total collapse”. People will do what they have to in order to survive. When your neighbor cannot feed his children your pantry is where he will take food from, with or without your permission., by force if he can Get a clue, “total collapse” doesn’t just mean the economy, it means civilization as a whole. That is the fire that the leftists are playing with. As systems breakdown and electricity, then water, then food, then waste disposal, etc. all cease to function, people will die, probably in the tens of thousands. Many from the civil war that the enemy of the United States Obama is trying to foment but most from disease and starvation just as it has happened in other countries for centuries. America is NOT immune to these things and only a fool would think she is.
Think what you want, but these things WILL happen it is unavoidable now, just remember, people who are overly optimistic or think it won’t be that bad are ones who will fall to those of us who are prepared. Given a choice between your survival or my children’s survival . . . you lose.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 5:40pmIf the system collapses, there will be no law, so by definition he can’t become a criminal. Lead is a much better investment than gold. Lead can help you procure food and protect the food you have. Or in this guys case, maybe help you procure someone else’s food. My bet is that anybody that is smart enough to save up food will not let it taken so easily.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 10:32pmPeople that are saying that gold will be worthless don’t see the big picture. You can’t eat gold. Exactly. That’s the point. When you run out of food or ammo, you will need something to trade with. Not everyone will want your 12 gauge or your can of corn. And heck, you might need your 12 gauge and can of corn. Gold is there for just that reason. A medium of exchange. Sure, go ahead and store food, ammo, water, and whatever else you need. Gold will be there as a last resort, when you run out of everything else you got, or have something special or needed you don’t want to trade. This will be a common occurrence. There’s no escaping it. There will be some form of neutral instrument or mechanism for trading. Heck, even in the Great Depression some small neighborhoods created their own paper currency to use as money. Not everyone will want to trade away their last gallon of water for a pound of beef. And not everyone will need your gallon of water or pound of beef. What happens when you run out of ammo and you go to your neighbor seeking for some and he doesn’t want a can of beans?

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 10:52pmIn addition. When you run out of food, or your can of peaches expires or perishes due to heat or cold or whatnot, your stashed away gold will still be there with no rust and no deterioration. Gold will be your plan B, your backup. Don’t dismiss this valuable commodity of exchange and trade. When your stuck or lost in some far away place and all you got is a gold necklace on you, it will come in handy when you realize you need something to trade with to buy food or shelter. People will not keep their houses open to the public as some charitable organization, especially in an economic collapse. Don’t count on strangers being so welcoming to you. It will come in handy at some point. If all you got on you is a gold ring, people will steal it from you, or you can guard it and use it to buy or get what you need. This will catch on. You don’t want to be caught with no common medium of exchange. Plus, with all this talk on here of people saving and storing gold and silver, believe me, you’ll have people that would rather trade that than to give up on essentials. You will have to invest and plan your expenditures wisely in a total economic meltdown. If you think you’ll do fine without silver and gold, fine. That’s up to you. But don’t insist or say as fact that it will be of no good. That is false. Gold will be a medium of exchange, maybe not in your town, but in the next state, county or country. Think ahead in the long term. Just my 2 cents.

The USDA is already ending farm production though many tricks. Farms are being converted to Solar Energy Shingle Farms. Farms are being converted to Wind Mills. Farms are being converted to UN World Habitat Reserves. Irrigation is being denied farmers including use of underground wells. Tricks are being done by USDA to reduce value of remaining farmland so farmers cannot get “seed” loans.

I grew enough food to feed my entire family for over 6 months in a small garden plot in my front yard. Skills will be more valuable than money. For barter acquire spirits(whiskey), coffee, tea and other hard to get commodities. Stock enough for your own use and some for barter. Coins will still be a medium of exchanges(intrinsic value of the metal) but paper money will be less valuable than toilet paper.

I have followed Rodgers for years on the various financial shows he’s been on, his info is sound.
What I don’t get is for Beck to take him in arms wide open, after Beck’s unending fingerpointing at Soros. Rodgers @ the Quantum fund is the equivalent of Barry @ rev. wrights pew foe 20 years.
So what if Quantum was very successful.
and not a peep on either of their parts to explain that relationship with Soros.
other than to acknowledge it at the beginning and not say a word more.
If rodgers is under a non-disclosure, then say that. If he said he won’t dis or discuss Soros then say THAT.
It just makes me uneasy that the silence is deafening about the soros/rodgers relationship, when Beck will delve deep on other issues regardless of who it is.
Rodgers certainly put his family and money where his mouth is, is very vocal about being an American Citizen in self imposed exile in Singapore. Their education system would be better than the progressive BS we have here, right now they are independent of China economically and a roaring tiger so I get that.

If you are new to becoming prepared (Hurry up lol) then I personally would suggest getting things in this order (Everyone is an expert, this is just my suggestion) First: get a firearm, without it anything you prepare for can be easily taken from you. Second: begin to acquire food, even if its just an extra can of corn or two each time you visit the grocery store. Third: store water, whether its in old drink containers, bottled water or whatevers clever (as long as its sanitary) Fourth: begin to collect precious metals, to barter with or retain wealth whichever scenario plays out. Obviously there are tons of other things to stock up on, this is just a very basic sterp in the right direction. Trust me when I say, once you start on this path you will think of a lot more things once you begin.

After World War II, The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was formed as a hedge against the advance of communistic Warsaw powers led by the USSR. When Mikhail Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union, he allowed the fall of the Berlin Wall, and ultimately, of the Iron Curtain. World leaders declared that the Cold War was over, and they proclaimed the birth of a New World Order.
After the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, we began hearing new terms like World Community and International Community. David Rockefeller said that a global crisis would have to occur before the world would be willing to accept a New World Order. When the world’s economy began a dramatic downward plunge in 2008, world leaders again proclaimed the need for a New World Order with global economic structures.
The word “globalization” means exactly what it says. It is the process of transitioning the world into a global government. When we hear about international law, it is referring to the laws of the international government. When we hear about the World Court, it is referring to the court system that has been created to enforce the laws of the world governmental system. … They are all components of the one-world government—the world government prophesied for the endtime 2,000 years ago.

“If someone offered my a pound of gold for my last hamburger, I’d tell them, “You can’t eat gold”.
Nice try DAN_0. Try telling that to those living in Zimbabwe where people with GOLD get to the front of the line at the Market. Most families in Zimbabwe now spend 12 hour days mining the river banks for an ounce of gold to feed their families. That is their full time job. Go to YouTube and search Zimbabwe Hyperinflation, or Zimbabwe Market, or Zimbabwe Gold Market to see Market vendors openly hawking their wares for grams of gold. All day, everyday.
Yes DAN_0, you can eat gold. It’s universal and EVERYBODY will trade for it, except possibly you because you don’t have any.
It’s been around since the written word and is the only true form of material wealth in the bible, which stipulates using “just weights and measures” for free trade.
And don’t give me any BS about how heavy it is. I can get over $200 per $5 gold eagle that are the size of a dime. I have five in my pocket now. That’s a grand. Much lighter then that handgun and clip of bullets you are carrying.
Guns and ammo are important, but when **** hits the fan, everybody will be hunting in your area to survive and that food supply will dry up quick. What’s your fall back plan?

Unless you are rich.. you will not be able to buy gold and the lead and lead delivery systems in any great numbers. Choose one.
Here is your scenario. We have greedy people today..SURPRISE!! Well it will be the same if this happens. Buy all the gold you want… 60 pounds of it say… what do YOU do when ONE loaf of bread costs one pound of gold? So by my math grains of powder and lead remain the same because, they do the same then as now…no fluctuation. Remember history… The Spainish and the natives of the New World. Who got the gold?
If in a desert, you will give up a ton of gold for a drink of water. What would you do if you had guns and ammo.

Argentina is still kicking, germany is still kicking, the middle east is still kicking, china is still kicking, heck we have no idea what a collapse is, i think things will be just fine, and society will continue, i would be more worried about a nuclear collapse over anything else.

On the issue of gold cratering: Relative to the Federal Reserve Note? So what?
You’re not supposed to buy gold in order to save value in terms of fiat money, but rather in terms of actual valuable stuff.
Remember: Anyone can write on a piece of paper and say it’s worth X amount of these other pieces of paper with lower numbers – the only reason we use fiat money is because we’re forced to.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 9:40amI mentioned, several months (a year or so ago) that very idea and folks took the wrong angle then as well. I agree, ammo will be worth much more than gold.
1. It can be used to harvest food.
2 It can be used to protect your food source.
3. It can be bartered for other necessities.
4. You MUST have a working economy for curreny of any kind to be of value. Otherwise the value of your gold is subjective and up for ‘discussion’.
((Hope you have some AMMO, otherwise that ‘discussion’ is likely to see you w/o your gold-very soon))
5. Gold caches will attract undesirable attention. Extra ammo tends to have a very different effect.

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 11:19amI too am mostly invested in lead and food. I see little use for gold if we are talking about collapse. It will only be worth whatever the scar-faced guy with the crooked nose says it is and he may just take it from you anyway… after he takes your food.
The best preparation you can make in the event of total collapse is to network NOW. Have a plan for hunkering down until the foraging zombies are gone (2-3 months) and have a place to go and re-organize with your friends. You will need food to eat and barter, guns/ammo to defend yourself and barter with (9mm is probably the best investment because that is the most common caliber), and a plan for how to assemble, pack-up and move to where you are going. You need to go somewhere where there will be enough of you to discourage attack (strength in numbers), enough water and land to live off of, and with terrain that provides military advantages for protecting the community.
I don’t expect total collapse but living in CA where earthquakes, politics, and a dirty bomb are real possibilities, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared for that. Adding the networking is the hard part. People really don’t want to even think about it.I’ve talked about it with several like-minded people and we may end up doing it but so far, all I am prepared to do is to hunker down until the zombies are gone and then set out on my own with my bug-out kit.

Report Post »1) A “hickup” in the financial system sends markets tumbling but in less than a year things begin to stabilize and return to normal.
2) A prolonged depression, probably due to govt trying to do too much after a financial meltdown much as they did in the 30′s. You will see staggering unemployment numbers, people will starve to death, many will resort to cannibalism (its happened many times in human history) and it will be years before order is restored and people feel safe in both their security and financially.
3) We see a massive collapse on a global scale. Markets crash across the world and society as a whole breaks down. You will see massive amounts of looters, murders, rapes, cannibalism, and rioting. It overwhelms the system and society collapses under its own weight. You will see small pockets of people sheltering together in safe cities or communities. Outsiders will not be let in for fear of the unkown. Although this scenario is the scariest by far I am confident that society will be re established eventually. Please people listen to your gut, not the news. You can feel it in the air that something is wrong and on the horizon. No one can predict when any of these scenarios will occur but you dont have to be an economist to see that atleast one of them is almost guaranteed to happen in our life times

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 5:38pmAs Ron Paul says: “You have two choices. Either you can work your way out of this, or you wait until it collapses and you have to rebuild it.”
A primary vote for either Romney or Gingrich is a vote for waiting, just as surely as a vote for Obama in 2008 was. Neither Gingrich nor Romney has even the faintest grasp of the nature or the extent of the problems presently facing the nation. Neither Gingrich nor Romney will do anything in office, anything at all, to address these problems. They will instead do precisely as various presidents named Bush, Obama and Clinton have done in attempting to buy more time, and thereby exacerbating the situation when no more time can be bought.
Republicans now have two choices. They can either put forward Ron Paul as a candidate who is committed to address the financial and economic problems facing the nation, or they can put forward a candidate who will do little more than ensure Republicans bear the blame for the economic collapse of the country.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 3:57pmThe only one that can beat Obama? Are you kidding me? I love Ron Paul (I don‘t like his foreign policy as I’ve said many times before) but he’s certainly not the only one who can beat Obama. In fact Dr. Paul might have a hard time winning over a lot of the independents with his libertarian ideals. I’m a libertarian so I love those ideals, but whatever republican runs will almost certainly have my vote. It’s the independents that he has to win. And most of these independents are moderates…. which is why Romney polls so well with them. These people are not exactly Dr. Paul’s base.
1) Dr. Paul’s strengths, in my opinion, is his character, integrity and long history of conservatism. You know exactly what he would try to do as President. I say try because I’m not sure congress will go along with a lot of it….
2) Romney’s strength, in my opinion, is his appeal to moderate independents. He also performs very well in debates. He’s very polished. If he would do what he says, he’d make a decent president. But we have so few politicians to stick to their promises and he has not convinced me he’s any different.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 4:30pmI feel you.
But.
Our humanity can’t be retained, it must be reclaimed, it’s already gone. Civilization is a Myth. It’s a paper thin veneer over the collective. It’s a mirage. The moment the power goes off we return to the World and are Forced to join the Human Race or perish.
That’s the world we were formed in; one made up of people depending on and respecting one another. That’s the world much of the planet still lives on. When the power goes out in the US/Europe/Asia the people in the jungles of Brazil won’t even notice.
Technology is a double edge sword. It’s got to cut both ways. It has heped us do many great things. But in doing so it’s made (many of) us weak, shallow and dependent. It has, in my humble opinion, effectively reversed Evolution in much of the world. We’re drifting backward, dumber and weaker every year. And, interestingly enough, it’s made us easier to control. These technological advancements have, I think, come too quickly. Society has fallen behind. It’s been abused. “Never give a Monkey a loaded handgun.” Well, too late. Now what.

And what a coincidence that while the entire world is comming apart at the seams it just all has to come to a climax while that imposter Obama is at the helm too. I swear sometimes I feel like “they” (whoever the hell it was because it certainly wasnt me, or any of mine either) elected not just the Anti-America but the Anti- Christ. Im beginning to feel so helpless anymore, like there isnt a thing we can do about anything any more. And although cleaning out that cess-pool they call Washington D.C. would be a perfect first-step it would be so hard to really have any kind of noticeable positive effects 4 or 8 yrs. will roll around again and it would all just be un-done of course. Its hopeless anymore, too far gone, like urinating in the ocean and waiting for it to rise. And if God forbid those suicidal 5th. century throw-backs in the middle east start lobbing nukes at eachother it will certainly be over.

These people plan DECADES in advance.
They OWN the media. They’ve infiltrated our system of Govt. They OWN the banking systems that control our economy. They plan to IMPLODE the economy on purpose!!
This is why they try to get you to think that Ron Paul is “unelectable” or “too soft on foreign policy,” because they are SCARED that people will begin to catch on to what he has been WARNING us about for almost 30 YEARS!!
That is why they try to ignore or marginalize him at all costs. Even to the point of announcing 1st,3rd,4th, and 5th place in the Iowa straw poll. (who came in 2nd??)

RamboC4
Posted on December 7, 2011 at 6:32pmYes and No. I’m a grassfed producer which takes about 24 months to get animals ready for slaughter, but feedlots can do it in about 18 months. These are cow/calf producers selling off their animals, they then go to the feedlots. Feedlots aren’t operating at full capacity, they are in the business of selling yardage space and feed. With a lower number of feeder cattle available they are forced to pay more. What is making up the difference for now is people are selling their “replacement heifers.” Heifers are females that haven’t had a calf. Normally you keep a portion of them to replace cows who are unproductive or old. People are selling their replacements and herd sizes in some ares have decreased. This also means the national herd is continuing to decrease and hasn’t begun to rebuild. Further, beef prices have not kept up with the increasing cost of inputs. Beef prices have not doubled in 20 years, but a new pickup is more then 10 times as expensive as it was 20 years ago.
I don’t do beef so maybe Ramboc4 you could correct me if I am wrong.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 6:58pmThe drought caused the farmer to sell his herd early, he would have seen his investments die in the field. Of course the price of beef will be astronomical next year. The price did not go down this year because everyone is grabbing as much money as possible. There will not be as much beef available next year. Food shortages are coming, but not before gas rationing. Watch for more Gov’t land grabbing, especially land w/water.

Please, state the facts by which you are reasoning. If we’re going to talk logic, let’s look at things that are objective and true.
Ron Paul’s foreign policy is based on the FACT that you cannot control others without initiating force. The initiation of force cannot possibly happen without causing damage. Damage to a person’s life, liberty or their pursuit of happiness is a crime against the victim’s inalienable rights, which ALL men share. Therefore, the initiation of force is a crime. Therefore, we are committing a crime whenever we initiate force. This is true in all internal actions, and all foreign actions as well.

Report Post »GeorgieBaby
Posted on December 7, 2011 at 5:24pmNah, Ann Coulter has it wrong. If anything Glenn Beck is listening and talking to the Huntsman clan. The Huntsman and Romney clan had a split when Jon Jr. pledged to back Romney and join his campaign for the 2008 election. Romney gave Jon Jr. lots of inside campaign strategy and trusted Jon Jr. Then Jon Jr. broke his word and then joined the McCain campaign and took all of this inside information from Romney to McCain.
There isn‘t a lot of love between the Huntsman’s and the Romney’s. The Huntsman’s still have their nose bent out of shape over Romney getting the position for the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake. They were hoping Jon Jr. would get the position, and have some serious sour grapes over the issue. They wanted a Huntsman to fix the problems with the 2002 Olympics.
Remember how close Glenn is to Huntsman Sr., and how he calls him a mentor. Also remember that Glenn is always saying he doesn’t trust Romney. I would say that this has more to do with the Huntsman influence than he is actually willing to admit to his audience. Given the Huntsman family recent history of political deception, the Huntsman family sour grapes, the likelihood that Glenn has drunk the Huntsman Kool Aid concerning Romney, I am more likely to think that Romney doesn’t trust Glenn Beck. That is why he doesn’t come on the show.
I think that Ann Coulter was probably insinuating that because the two are Mormon that they have had off the record conversations. I doubt it.
Report Post »GeorgieBaby
Posted on December 7, 2011 at 5:35pmAlso, I think that Beck is on damage control when it comes to Newt Gingrich. Unfortunately there are a lot of evangelicals that would vote for Newt before they would vote for Romney, who would be a much better candidate. This is why he has been talking so much about Teddy Roosevelt, and comparing him to Newt. He has also softened his stance on Romney a bit since the Newt interview. I believe he sees the writing on the wall, and that it has boiled down to Romney or Newt.
For Romney, his real problem lies with the bigotry of the religious far right. No matter what anyone says, this is the real challenge he faces. Remember, during the last Primary cycle he was the true conservative in the race and received a lot of support from the people who now bash him. Glenn Beck is trying to convince those who would vote for Newt just because they are anti-Mormon that they are making a HUGE mistake. Which they truly are. And to split the ticket would be to give Obama another term (spare me the rhetoric Ron Paul people).
Bachman and Santorum will most likely be a V.P. pick for whomever wins the nomination so that they will bring in the Tea Party element and support to the ticket. That is the reality of the current situation, whether people like it or not.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 5:46pmOne other thing. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Jon Huntsman Jr. move to the Obama camp in some capacity when he doesn’t win the nomination. Perhaps he might replace Biden, and attract the moderate democrat/independent vote. For someone who is not trying very hard to win the nomination, I wonder why he is even in the race. There is another agenda here. Keep your eye on Huntsman Jr. He’s a sneaky guy.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 3:32pmYou’d have done fantastically well to buy gold five or ten years ago. Obviously. Buy when you don’t have panic-mongers on every other screen warning of the collapse of the world as we know it. When you do have everyone from G. Gordon Liddy to Rachel Maddow screaming at you to buy now, it’s already too late. The market is near the top and primed for a final draft of hapless peasants offering up their life savings.

And it comes down to “so what?”, then.
People who make economic mistakes, will learn from those mistakes. Those who do not make mistakes and invest for sound reasons, regardless of the advertising will do well. In either event, that’s how the market is supposed to work, and I approve of those outcomes.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 6:00pmAt some point, even gold will be worthless. You can’t eat metal. For people who are not prepared, or have some preparations, it would be better to invest in food, clothing, fuel, shelter (who says we’ll be sitting snugly at home?), transportation, and other necessities than metals. I’ve heard a saying from a leader in my church that during these times of peril, a pound of wheat will be more valuable than gold.
Every year for Christmas, my parents give some sort of preparedness item. One year they gave us a large First Aid bag with some first aid items in it. I have added sooooo much more to my First Aid bag, have one for the car, and for 72 hour kits.
I am very much into preparedness, and my mother asked what I would like for Christmas (they are giving rice to my siblings, and I have oodles of rice). This year I have requested a sewing kit. Not just any sewing kit, but a tackle box full of things like needles, patches, crochet hooks, pins, threads of differing colors and strengths, etc… These are the things that will be worth more than gold and will be very much needed.

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 12:46amYes, those poor fools who followed Beck and bought Gold at $800 an ounce and have more than doubled their wealth. I can’t believe that people are still talking nonsense like this, you just make yourself look like a complete ignoramus. You just keep holding on to those cotton dollars and see how they work for you in a few years. You might need some soft cotton toilet paper.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 3:03pmMy parents were born during the Great Depression. I’ve heard them talk about food shortages, and what WWII did (rationing, no groceries on the shelves, no meat, no gas, no building supplies). I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, not my worst enemy, but I think the one upside it may have it that there’s a chance that America may find its moral compass again. Nothing like hardship to make people turn (back) to God.
Rogers was in bed with Soros? Seriously? Makes him untrustworthy in my book.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 3:36pmI don’t think government enforced rationing, due to a government caused financial collapse, where government enacts confiscatory taxation levels, and then where government conspired to anger the Japanese enough to attack (yes, yes they did) in order to get us into an economy boosting war, all the while erecting massive wasteful government programs that extended the downturn into over a decade, will help us find our moral compass. It may however make many of us really, really angry. We’re not ignorant of their intentions, this time around, like we were in the 1930′s.
