Thank you for the ping.
For the privileged few that have wealth to protect, gold and silver outside the banking system is a must.
And that is why I am convinced that after the crash and before their "reset", the ownership, transfer, possession, sale, storage, and "hoarding" of gold will again be made illegal, just as it was in 1933 - by Exective Order.
And those that resist will swiftly be made an example of, just as before.
Executive Order 13603 (signed by the Preezy 3/16/2012) gives himself the power to sieze any person, property or thing that is deemed “necessary for national security”.
Prepping is several states is punishable under color of law (look at the water fights in CO and CA, and being off-grid is illegal in Miami-Dade), even thought DHS and FEMA have pamphelts and packets out telling us how to do it...
