Someone said that if Trump came out and announced that gold was worth $10,000 per oz. that would be the way out of the next coming crisis, but I haven’t been able to follow that logic.

If we have the gold, and Q said we did, then compared to gold, our national debt will be 1/8 (in gold) of what it was prior to the announcement. That may be helpful for the US debt, but disastrous for the global economy.

I don't remember the figures, but someone should go check how much gold is in the world, and how much gold it would take to finance our government for just one year; maybe most of it, IIRC.

We're living in a time when many things are converging. It's a time like no other in human history. I think anyone who makes preparations to be able to sustain themselves, and their family for an extended time, are very wise in doing so.

Any preparation is better than none. When things start going south, it's going to happen very quickly. Maybe overnight. Most people have only a few days of food on hand at best - don't be one of those - which I'm certain you're not.

Well that’s what I thought about that gold statement. Total meltdown globally.

Well we have always kept a good stock of pantry stuff, and used to camp a lot. We always have periods when the electricity is off.

I used to stay for long periods with my grand parents on a dairy farm. They had no running water and an old fashioned out house, so I do at least have some knowledge of surviving with less.

Anyway, we got interested in growing our own organic food to avoid pesticides. Since 2008 we’ve done even more to become as self sufficient as possible. Hoping it’s enough.

I’ve never been much of a prepper other than for natural disasters but I’m getting ready to, hopefully it won’t be too late. The first thing is to get a better generator and an auto standby switch on the house. After that happens I now have free water and septic. I also need to refill all my gas cans and get more cans. As far as new gas cans go these are valuable.

With food we’re pretty good, can always get far better.
