Violent anarchy with no law and order, no government, no police, no military, is a million to 1 shot, it almost certainly will not happen other than maybe locally for a few days at most.

No. When the SHTF happens, it will be ECONOMIC collapse, and a collapse of the dollar. Lots more unemployment. Hyper inflation. Food and energy shortages. Hunger. No imports of good or oil. Something like the 1930’s but MUCH worse. The economic system coming to a halt, shortages in the stores, and lots and lots of police and military and obtrusive government controls and regulations.

You are going to be seeing more police and more military on the streets, more government controls, more gun control, curfews, police roadblocks and safety stops, bank account restrictions, than you ever imagined in your entire life.

THIS!! is what is really going to happen, and when this happens, paper money, US bank accounts, stock certificates, your home, are not going to be worth anything.

Our future almost certainly is not a jungle, but rather, an economic collapse, a dollar collapse, hyperinflation, and excessive government controls. It is here in this most likely future that gold and silver will be the only assets to hold value.

I simply have to disagree.

Food and energy shortages. Hunger. No imports of good or oil. Something like the 1930’s but MUCH worse. The economic system coming to a halt, shortages in the stores, and lots and lots of police and military and obtrusive government controls and regulations.

If all of the above come to pass as we both think they will, why won't many of the local police fail to report for duty in lieu of staying home and protecting their own family and stored assets, if any? Nothing. Remember, they are unionized. No money, no work.

You are going to be seeing more police and more military on the streets, more government controls, more gun control, curfews, police roadblocks and safety stops, bank account restrictions, than you ever imagined in your entire life.

Again, the only boots on the ground that will eventually increase in numbers will be Federal troops. Or those Federal troops who can be mustered from the remaining corp of individuals who have not bugged out and headed home to protect family and their home front. Think about human nature. Police and military personnel are not immune. Again, no money or items to 'pay ' the troops? They will be going AWOL in HUGE numbers.

THIS!! is what is really going to happen, and when this happens, paper money, US bank accounts, stock certificates, your home, are not going to be worth anything.

My home will be worth the world to me. It will be my fortress, my armory, my food store, my central location for security. I do not intend to bug out. I will make my stand where I am and have been preparing for that eventuality for some time.

Our future almost certainly is not a jungle, but rather, an economic collapse, a dollar collapse, hyperinflation, and excessive government controls. It is here in this most likely future that gold and silver will be the only assets to hold value.

The government can try and they probably will but without overwhelming force...which I think they will be hard pressed to put into play...they will be met by a citizenry that is very sick of being subjected to Gubmint rule by self serving miscreants and will also be met with deadly force. A gun behind every blade of grass, if you will.
