“Check out this link......Anyone know anything about this?”

Could very well happen that way. Heard about the Amero before, but never in so much detail. Found the whole scenario of declaring “Force Majeure” (Act of God) interesting and plausible.

The problem I had with his suggestions at the end was this: if you transfer your wealth to a foreign bank and convert your currency to, say, Swiss Francs, how do you make purchases at your local grocery story after the dollar has been demonetized? This is why I think you also need to invest in silver, preferably bags of silver coins (quarters or half dollars) to make everyday purchases.

Same way that I buy groceries when I'm in Europe... with a credit card or with cash advances from an ATM. Your Swiss bank could issue you a Visa or Mastercard, and you could pay with that or draw out dollars from ATMs on an as-needed basis You'd undoubtedly get hit with foreign currency transaction fees (e.g., 75 cents + 1% or whatever), so I'm not saying that it makes economic sense, but you could do it.
