Johnnie come late. We knew this a long time ago

[MinuteGal]

American citizen Rogers and his family live in Singapore where his wealth helps the local economy there.

He endorsed Ron Paul in 2008.

And according to these experts - who have presented their findings to the United Nations, the UK Parliament and a long list of world governments - the catastrophe may happen well before Americans hit the polls in November.

It better hurry up! Only 3 weeks to go.

[bruinbirdman]

Yeah, not much of the headline (Jim Rogers) reflected in the article. More of a comeon for the doomsayers who follow.

"He endorsed Ron Paul in 2008."

Ron Paul got his Gold Committee into the GOP platform. Rogers would like to see a gold standard.

Ezekiel 7:19
They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be an unclean thing. Their silver and gold will not be able to save them in the day of the LORD’s wrath. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it, for it has made them stumble into sin.

the catastrophe may happen well before Americans hit the polls in November....It could well HAVE happened. Who is going to tell us? ABC, NBC MSNBC?

a massive economic catastrophe unlike anything ever seen in the history of the world.

[Cronos]

well, the problem about all of these “unlike anything ever seen in the history of the world.” is that it is humbug - it’s happened in the past and will happen again. The collapse of the Roman currency under debasement, Chinese imperial monetary collapses, right down to the Weimar hyperinflation — it’s happened before.

[Mad Dawgg]

" Rogers would like to see a gold standard."

Hell I'd settle for a GDP standard. (GDP above 3% you can expand the money supply, below you have to shrink it.) Except then they'd just fudge the number.

But see the problem is we have "no standard" right now. Just print till you run out of ink, them make more and start again!

Yeah well that maybe so but thankfully most other spheres of human endeavor are going along nicely.The Middle East has never known such peacefull coexistance between Israel and those that surround her.Christians and muslims are working together to bring peace and harmony to all.As is the West in general with islam.Not to mention the wonderfull togetherness of society in general.Everyone looking out for each other like one big family.

So a so-called "massive economic catastrophe unlike anything ever seen in the history of the world" will barely make a dent in the unshakeable cohesion of this wonderfull one world village.Onwards and upwards!

Do I really need it?

I’m buying as much ammo as I can afford. The new gold I’m not kidding.

Sell Now.

[BCW]

I second that — bullets have far more value than a gold coin!

[Soul of the South]

Another warning of impending doom that says you must prepare immediately. Then no information in the article about how to repair.

[AlexW]

Assuming Romney wins, he will get the blame, even though he haa zero to do with it.

[AlexW]

I forgot to add. If Obumbo wins, the economy will be Bush’s fault.

If more of us could move to Singapore we would, and should

Rogers saw armageddon coming a long time ago and walked the walk, especially after his children were born

What do you know about his “wealth” and what say do you have in how he invests it? If I could live in Singapore, immerse my children in learning Chinese as the future world economic engine, and buy up farmland all over the world, I would too
