  • that's a relief!

  • Well, if Obama does this, he wouldn't be the first president doing this.

  • I THINK OBAMA IS GRINCH he gonna come take your gold BUAHGAHAHHAAHAH

  • Im so glad Im so much smarter than everyone else. Im so smart cus i sit and watch youtube videos Ill be a genius by next year.....or I might be dead wait let me consult youtube real quick......oh Ill be a genius and dead

  • This is why we need Ron Paul in office! 2012!!

  • haha you're educated?? yeah right. you are an utter idiot. wrong bet. read a book

  • i have a feeling gold is goin down why did people buy into that at its all time high sso foolish im glad im educated in this and did not fall for it

  • They did it once before why couldn't they do it again? FDR forcibly under penalty of serious prison time confiscated peoples gold and yes they checked and if anyone was found hoarding they were arrested. This happened in 1933

  • @theskeptic2010 don't forget the Pittman Act that was written during 1917.

  • So we rather ditch money based on an economy's in order to start trading with rocks like gold and silver? Even the Romans, who used gold and silver coins, estimated the value of the coin not in the metal but on the face value of it (which was always way higher).

    Besides, there's not enough gold for everyone to dig in at leisure. That's why the gold standard was abolished (that and the fact people started keeping the coins as heirlooms, thinning the gold flow).

  • @glidershower *based on an economy's power

    Sorry about that...

  • @glidershower we did not move away from the gold standard because "there's not enough gold for everyone to dig in at leisure." FACT!!!!! do about 3 minutes of research that isnt relied upon by the simplistic mind and you will learn the truth about the gold standard and the Federal Reserve which is not federal and is currently insolvent should the 100 to 1 leverage risk fail...free your mind friend and your ass might not be so obvious!!!

  • @davidmarklein ".free your mind friend and your ass might not be so obvious!"

    I'm more afraid of taking financial advice from someone who can't even formulate sentences right enough to make sense. In any case, let's wait and see - this idiocy's validity will die faster than astrology or homeopathy.

  • the confiscation will occur when TPTB run the price to the moon (after beating metals down to cover short positions in paper), and folks trade in metals for the FRN,...

    when they hit their magic number, they will crash the current dollar, and it will be toilet paper, wall paper, or kindling.

  • @AngusMcSpuds Have you heard the latest from David Wilcock ? if not check out - URGENT update David Wilcock death threats -

  • Anyone think that it will be confiscated for the image of the brat? They did the same thing when Moses went up to Mt. Sanai.

  • The President of the United States is going to come to my house and take away my PM?

    This is too much of a farce. Not gonna make it to the 2:00 Mark.

    Have fun, crazy people.

  • @smart451cab yes that's right hes going to march his over entitled ass to your house bust down your door and take your PMs

    All they (bankers or govt) do is seize the paper holders accounts like we saw at MF global gold futures contracts were seized before delivery months. To go around to each house and raid them would be too obvious take waaaaaay too much time and resources. if you hold physical you are pretty much safe from them.

  • @WarrivarNeo If you check American history than you will see that the government did in fact go from house to house and seize all gold back in the 20's and 30's. Do not say that it can not happen again. You don't run the show, and to think you do is completely absurd....

  • @WarrivarNeo guess you didnt hear about the act obama signed

  • start digging

  • you people are crazy..brainwashed by radio and tv personalities...go to school...JUST WATCH NOTHING WILL HAPPEN

  • under the coinage act of 1792, anyone caught devaluing the currency would suffer under the penalty of death.

  • NEW WORLD ORDER ! What Gold is from FT KNox as been shown to be gold plated and not Gold Bar , its all been stolen folks ! yes its all gone ! where did it go? Your Guess! The Wall St BAnkers federal Reserve Conterfit Monopoly money passed as US Dollar and you owe 14 trillion of this worthless money they print and lend you! WHAT RACKET! ROBBERY ! RACKET/ PONZI ! you FOOLS !

  • Sure, the government could knock on everyone's door and try to confiscate a few hundred billions of dollars worth of PMs. Wouldn't you think they'd rather press that big red button and disolve everyone's 401ks and pention plans that account for about 7 Trillion? Sounds a bit more realistic.

  • @TumisHumis if the dollar crashes there wont be any 401ks

  • @81onedeep You don't get it man, the dollar crashing will not be news to the government. It will be news FROM the government. Look into it a little more.

  • @TumisHumis i know the federal reserve is crashing the dollar by printing so much. what did i miss exactly now?

  • @81onedeep Jesus, are a pro troll or did you read the comment you replied to?

  • 90% accuracy trading is now a reality. If you want to get rich invest in gold! Come visit my website, just google Gold Trading Academy to learn more.

  • I wish they would haha

  • no one will take my gold or silver

    no fckn body!!

  • HONEY?? I knew it!!!

  • 1:38 commoners' recognition of NWO

  • it happened once it can happen again

  • @lui3090 What happened once before?

  • @shasha1873 The gold seizure of 1930's

    The US is still officially under a state of emergency from that act.

  • @MadCanada597 Damn! I had no idea.

  • Thumbs up if your locked and loaded!

  • Some one try's to take my silver/gold...I have a AR-15 and a glock 40 that will clean there ass out faster than HOT SOUSE.

  • How the goverment know IF you own a gold. I dont think they keep a record or smt.

    Just stash it somewhere where noone but you find it. SIMPLE :-)

  • @Goon2006 New Healthcare bill has a new tax provision where all precious metals transactions over $600 requires a 1099 tax form. That means the government will know what you have. Anyone who has it now, should probably bury it. If you can you should get out of the country and stockpile your reserves in another, gold friendly, country. This is the only way to go. We lose rights at the drop of a dime.Why wouldn't we lose gold and silver, we have before, and history has a habit of repeating itself.

  • @Goon2006 Part 1- How it would work is a task force would send letters to people it knows bought gold or silver. Then when people didn't send in their gold and silver, they would get a ticket. This would be a summons to court for their trial. In trial they will be asked where their gold is. When they say, "I don't have it." They will be asked where it is, then the court will ask what they did with it? Then they say they sold it. This is where the court will ask to whom and for how much.

  • @Goon2006 Part 2-The defendant will then have to produce a tax form, and if they don't they will be charged with tax fraud. This will be the government's actions. While they do this, there will be a smear campaign against precious metals holders, where they are blamed for a future financial crisis. That way the angry mobs are not attacking the central government and the infighting between the people escalates and the division continues. It may not be this cut and dry, but it will go down.

  • I think the most likely scenario for confiscation will be through starvation. You want something to eat buddy? Pay(exhorbinately) for it with your PM's and nothing else.

  • $5oz , - $50oz SILVER - it doesn't really matter when the masses are waking up to realise everything the own is tied to a BALL & CHAIN paper money...

    GET IT, OWN IT, HOLD IT, - & THANK YOURSELF LATER WHEN IT COUNTS....!!!

  • Not in Canada

  • 2:16 - Middle section of the picture row.....hahahhaa....

  • They tried to confiscate gold during the great depression and my grandfather never surrendered his gold and just held onto it and in the period of 1932 to 1936 he told me it was very easy to trade in gold to get items just about anywhere and that was how he bought a new car in the middle of the depression with a few gold coins.

  • love how bush was photoshoped and morphed into obama!

  • @BatusaiJack : They're all players in the same game. Payback time's here, 'cause we all know now. Obama's best bet is to have a private jet to Kenya waiting on the runway with engines running--unless he wants to go through the arduous process of trying to get a job sweeping subway platforms or shining shoes. Food server?

  • all heil overlord president for eternity obama ! if you dont vote for him, youre racist !

  • @1973mazdarx4coupe I would never vote for him. I'm not racist. I just hate that stupid nigger.

  • Cash for gold, anybody?

    wait...

    Paper for gold.

    *fixed

  • They couldn't do it anymore...but how they do it now while you don't no it it...CASH 4 GOLD STORES

  • Israeli spokeswoman Tzipora Menache, who was reported in a February 1, 2009 article as saying, “You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we [the Israelis] control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House . . . . We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. IN AMERICA YOU CAN CRITICIZE GOD, BUT YOU CAN’T CRITICIZE ISRAEL.”

    Obama (aka Barry) works for the Bankers or zionist gangsters.

  • 12 gauges of justice for any attempted confiscators.

  • It is priced like any other commodity, supply and demand.

  • I heard from Bob Chapman that about only 2 percent of the people hold gold. I guess if its registered Bullion held in a bank they can take it, but not people who own coins.

  • CRASH JP MORGAN, BUY SILVER NOW!

  • This is also what FDR did during the Great Depression.

    -Executive Order 6102

    Ron Paul: Revolution 2012

  • you cant trust a man who praises ayn rand and names his sons after her. she was anti-poor people pro-self righteous rich people

  • I believe there wil be gold confication again, and anything else what would give citizens any independence. Their goal is to make the U.S subordinate to the NWO. They will do anything they want, if we haven't done anything yet, we will not do anything, when americans start starving, than there will be some action. Open in the street civil warfare,is all that is going to stop these tyrants from taking controll of the entire world.

  • @louiethegreater

    Buying gold is not the solution as Roosevelt's Gold Confiscation Act ( 5 April 1933) allowing the US government to confiscate all the gold privately owned by the American citizens in order to save the Nation from bankruptcy can still be used .

  • @canto896 Yes I agree, that is the futility of buying gold, also one cannot buy gold from a gold vender without the use of your SS No., so they know where you are.

  • @louiethegreater How about if the person said they lost their gold? Only about 2% of the people hold Gold these days, its not like in the 20's & 30's where everybody had gold

  • @rocksiphone I suppose that if they passed a low against holding gold, most folks would conform to the law. I am not against owning gold, I personally believe that our next progression will be cashless.

  • @louiethegreater These days people who hold gold are real gold bugs and I don't think they would give it up that easily and like I said only about 2% own gold not like in the 1920's & 30's where most people owned gold

  • @rocksiphone Wouldn't gold be cosidered on the same level as any other commodity. Oil is up to $91. a barrel again, why would those investers put their wealth in oir instead of gold.

  • @louiethegreater You mean like Mrac Farber, who knows if he's lying. They don't want gold to increase because it makes the dollar look bad and who knows if they buy gold or not

  • @rocksiphone Wow, I don't think the dollar needs any help looking bad. Our enourmous national debt and a half trillion trade deficit is enough to shead bad light on the dollar. I believe oursourcing to China, the TARP has cooked our currency. I really don't know if buying gold will be a hedge against the hyperinflation yet to come. Peter Schiff thinks it will be, but than again he holds a lot of gold, and it is in his interest for gold to raise.

  • @louiethegreater Who sets the price of gold? I worry about that because we have no control over it. Wonder if some way they will try to crash it like they did to the housing market

  • I guess they could in theory but what will they do with it dump it? to drive the price down I say go for it. it will be absorbed esp if it takes a major dive.

  • y sell ur gold to someone if u making them more rich then wat they are u just getting very little of it

  • from my cold dead hands!

  • I don't give a shit who it would be if someone came into my home to confiscate MY PROPERTY bought and paid for they will be shot.. This isn't Nazi Germany I don't care who or what " goverment says.. Especuially with the nazis running this goverment right now.. They need to wake up and remember what country there in. We will fight tyranny in Ameriica. No matter who is wearing the clever masks.. Blow me NWO you have no power only deception..

  • @spiff2003 agreed 110%

  • Comment removed

  • Only Goldline can save us!

  • If anybody tries to confiscate anything of mine, they will meet their maker!

  • @mvvish hahahahaha ooooooh now we're all so scared of you XD

  • @Griesmayer better be fuck face!

  • @mvvish so when the government makes you pay income taxes you make them meet their maker? no, you are a slave to the government so you pay!

  • @jfn1103 I will never be their slave! They are supposed to work for "WE THE PEOPLE" when they don't they commit treason and are punished by death!!

  • @mvvish nice one

  • Comment removed

  • @BiggerThinking1 Bet me!!

  • @mvvish their mom?

  • here in canda bill c-51 is trying to be past.

    it is trying to make vitamins and minerals illegal, silver and gold are minerals.

  • GLD can be confiscated if it is in bullion form: however, if you own gold in a coin form (money as described by our constitution), it cannot be taken without changing the constitution. If things go that far and we are unable to stop or avoid this from happening, we are then slaves of our government. The NWO is a path to this becoming a reality.

  • They just found in the 2800 page Obamacare bill all bullion including coins over 600$ must be reported to the IRS , so ya now they will know who has the gold if they want it

  • @YVRSURF there are better commodities than gold that the gov COULD take. Dumbshit

  • =OoO=

    Gold Confiscated in '30's because it was TIED to the valuation of the Currency at the time. I'm a Citizen of the Loonie, so I might be a bit off here...but I believe that the U.S. Dollar was Decoupled from the Gold/Silver standard & Tied to Oil to make it a Defacto World Reserve Currency. WHY would they Have to Confiscate the Gold when they would merely "Revalue" it's holding with New (Devalued of course) Currency Issuance? Tis a Cleaner & simpler methode, Is it not? Or am I juste Naive?!

  • it's really hard to steal someone's gold while looking down the barrel of a gun.

  • PEOPLE DONT BE STUPID...IM A SILVER BUG, BUT DOES CONFISCATING GOLD MAKE ANY SENSE IF WERE NOT ON A GOLD STANDARD!!!! COME ON THINK..........

  • The currency is no longer backed by these metals. I am no expert, but it would seem if the shit hits the fan,transactions[ that are still based on hyper inflated currency], by people who have wealth in gold , and silver using these assets as currency. would from the government point of view bypass the tender used to pay taxes. A 1964 quarter is still worth a quarter to the government. Thereby be outlawed. Wealth in the form of gold, and silver would have to be taken to be redistributed. No?

  • Go buy gold if you think it will help. I'll buy ammo. soon ammunition will be better than gold if things keep going the way they are with Bail outs,sham finance bills, tax hikes, cash for clunkers, fannie mae and freddie mac and the like.

  • Obama should become a hero by arresting Rockefeller for treason based on what he wrote in his memoirs. The part about working against the interests of America and its people. Then he taunts, "Guilty and proud of it." Look it up. Thats the only way I would forgive Barry and might even put a re-elect Obama bumper sticker on my forehead if he would do the same to the Rothschilds and prosecute 911.

  • @sssssjjjj1 You know socialism has been infested in America through corp structure since 1890, this deception goes back to its beginning, there is no definition to purpose so its all an ideology is where you really must begin the process, that is why law is an ideology and why the people are that power through jurisprudence which retains that right...

  • pardon me! its called "The Money Masters"

  • if u want to know everything about the Federal Reserve watch "The Money Changers". It is great.

  • I would open a Canadian bank account If I was an American.

    transfer your savings to Canadian dollars

    and save it in Canada where it's much more safe

  • i am glad we have more people talking about this, because i am telling my friends and family. We need to get rid of the federal reserve it sucking the US dry, because we have morons running it

  • @deltawingforce

    No, we have psychopathic criminals who own it.

  • when buying gold u have to be careful when buying gold, cause some gold is track, and guess what, the goon squad will be knocking on your door

  • You can buy a gun without signing anything! Buy gold without signing papers and leaving your name and address!

  • So what's the alternative do nothing and watch your entire life savings go up in smoke. Sure as with anything gold investing there are some risks. Although the benefits far outweigh the risks. Gold time and time again has proven it's worth as money by itself is worthless. We keep printing more and more money without anything to back it up. How long do you think this is going to last before we do down with the ship. I am taking my changes and gold is about as good a bet we have right now.

  • Look, gold is good, but don't rely on gold only, silver is awesome investment right now, also i would start stocking up on rations for a couple of years, because when the dollar is use for toilet paper, u will not be able to buy groceries, but I alway say is be prepared expect the unexpected.

  • Another reason why gold has to go, and probably the one no one who is not a conspiracy enthusiast will want to hear, is that the type of folks who deal in gld and silver, well...we just don't fit into the world scheme. We tend to have guns and don't need or want Gov't central to our lives. I'm talking about middle class U.S, and similar disposed people in English speaking countries and western Europe. The rest of the world will turn over gld when told because they are used to being dominated.

  • It is not likely that the feds will confiscate our gold as we are no longer under the gold standard as we were the last time they confiscated it. However, anything is possible since our government is full of corrupt people but don't think for a minute that numismatic coins are safe from them either. A crook is a crook and if they really want to take our wealth they will take it all including pre 1933.

  • That depends on what kind of gold you have!! Numatic vs non numismatic pre-1933 coins can't be confiscated. Gold Bullion yes can be confiscated. I have been investing in gold and silver for some time now. Gold certificates or stock are just paper promises. Physical gold is best but do your research and invest at least a quarter to maybe half in gold and silver if you can. Silver is more liquid and will be easier to get in smaller amounts as gold is more for bargaining and safe keeping.

  • ...of national emergency. That statute is still on the books and could be used for further, new exec orders, judical opinions defending seizure, etc. POINT BEING: despite the sales pitches and half-truths, there is nothing and no law (or order) to keep the "G" from TAKING YOUR GOLD and handing you confetti. Unless you are an expert, a seriously aspiring expert, big time hobbyist who learned it from dad, STAY AWAY FROM NUMISMATICS (also, unless you're rich!). Bullion is more liquid/no premium.

  • @BlazinNSoul

    Listen, they can confiscate anything they want.

    Numismatics are not the way to go from what I've researched. You're going to pay more for the coin's numismatic value, but if it comes down to survival a person is only going to care about its silver or gold content. They won't care less about how rare the coin is, it will be irrelevant.

    Also, stay away from the larger bars such as the 100oz.; they are easier to counterfeit.

  • i dont have any gold to take?

  • get some silver

  • Gold is a store of wealth and silver is a convenient exchange of wealth as real money payments for tangible physical-assets based-goods (heavy high-technology) and key strategic services (doctors, surgeons, dentists, teachers, scientists, engineers, technologists, technicians, accountants, lawyers, etc). Gold gives your credit credibility while silver allows your credibility to be practiced when you pay for something tangible and useful in the long run for long term investments purposes

  • Since it it Christmas day, I wanted to pray for everyone today. I am praying for the whole world in these troubling times. I know that the Lord Jesus Christ is the true king upon which the righteous government of the earth will someday be built. He is the only one that can solve all of these problems. He is the only one that can bring true peace. I pray for Him to bless you and keep you, and for His face to shine upon all of you and to give you His true peace and understanding.

  • Actually gold price in the US govenment is set still to $42.22. So if they are going to get any gold from you that is the price you would get per ounce - check it out, the gold price HAS NOT CHANGED. So I am confused, keep paper and the bas**ds devalue it, buy gold and you run the risk of loosing $1100 per ounce.

  • The intelligent and the wealthy know that true wealth comes from the ground, that's why it's always a good investment to buy gold and silver physically. The paper money system is and has always been a ponzi scheme, and inflation is just the wealthy scraping the cream off the top till all that's left for us is so much watery milk.

  • Silver and nickel and copper is the people's money. Gold is good for the government. They can't take all the silver and gold even if they had all the Chinese backing them up.

  • 'Confiscate' ....the Govt. back in Roosevelt's day required people to turn in the gold bullion, but the people were paid for the gold by the Govt. at that time's current gold price. If the current gold price today is $1150 and Obama decided to 'confiscate' your gold, the Govt. would pay you $1150 per ounce, which when you think about it ... is more than a dealer or pawn shop will offer you.

  • When Roosevelt confiscated Americans' gold, the gov paid owners $20/oz... then immediately sold the gold overseas for $35/oz... immediate devaluation of the US dollar.

    even if the gov confiscates your gold for $1200, they may then sell the gold for a much higher price, devaluing your dollars. this is easily possible considering the large surplus of dollars held by US creditors, such as China.

  • They paid about 20 per ounce and then in early 1934, it was 35 an ounce. That's a 75% increase in about 5 months AFTER they confiscated it. Doesn't sound like a good deal to me.

  • unfortunately the dollars they give you might be worhtless.

  • buy gold and silver

    prices came down this week.. good time to add to your position...

    even if it is only 5 or 10 ounces of silver

    just do it

  • thank you for showing everyone you are a retard. Currency is nothing and backed by false promises. Gold and Silver by nature require work to create it,not turn on a machine and print it....governments can print at will,gold or silver can not be mined at will....explain how they are similar in any way....

  • hanging zionist traitors is not anti-semitic

  • i PROVIDE THE ROPE!

  • bullshit , they do not need to confiscate gold they are already freezing foreign assets

    they gave Americans till October 15 then they will confiscate them if not declared then they will blow gold up to 2-5 K then new dollar magically appear and price of gold will be 50 bucks again :) That is how they will fuck u

  • how the heck can money be kept safe then?

  • in england there are firms buy everyones gold up.......if paper money is removed from the system all there will be is gold but then if all the corperations have our gold welcome to enslavement and human chipping..codex A why build a massive seed bank in norway and force the human race to eat G.M foods!!!! it smells like rockefellas and there cronies to me!

  • so...you've noticed that too?

    I thought that was suspicious. I live in London and have seen all the adverts begging the public to sell their gold jewellery. They make it look so wonderful and lucrative. Its a trap. Even though they say that jewellery isnt counted as gold it can always be melted down. Who owns the jewellery buying companies would be interesting to know too.

  • GOLD=BUBBLE

  • If gold is a bubble who gives a shit?

    I bought it at $400 an ounce, and sold enough to make what I continue to hold cost $0.

    What you don't get, STILL, is gold is *insurance*. INSURANCE. No matter what happens, I will have wealth.

  • tut tut, GOLD=WORLD RECORD HIGH

  • No necessarily, gold is not at a world record high. If you adjust for inflation, gold's high now would be between 2100 and 2500 per ounce.

  • You are correct. Having said that I Imagine the price will continue to rise carrying on the trend of the last 9 years.

  • 4000 u fool

  • the GLD is managed by State Street

    the iAU is managed by Barclays Global Investors

    State Street is a U.S. Company while Barclays is from England.

    if the US confiscates Gold you know it's all over. For everybody.

    Every single currency is going to loose value but the USD is going to be the biggest loser.

  • What about the the gold in Switzerland...UBS Bank i heard they are problem that they need to disclosure to the United State who the depository..it's true the UBS owned so much taxes to United State. What about the Soekarno gold were been held by the Bank. Is the bullion is in GLD system. thanks

  • Never buy ETF's, isn't that like buying a super-nice sports car so it can sit in someone elses garage? They all say these NYMEX and MONEX people, thy say oh, it's way too risky too psysically hold these assets, i think thts BS, Americans are crafty, and i think anyone could figure out a way if thy wanted.

  • I don't think there is a lot of real gold in GLD

    my guess is the ETF's are also scams and fraud...

  • In case of hyperinflation, the etfs, glds, and so on, will just be so expensive that they will not deliver. Think about it: somebody asked me to hold their gold, or flat screen TV. If they ask back for it, and it is worth 1000, something I can go and make within a week let's say, well, big deal - I will give it back. Now, imagine that all of the sudden the item becomes so expensive, that it represents months and years of my time, then you will never see neither me nor your item ever again.

  • after 2 or 3 more bailout foreign accounts and assets held by US corporations and individuals will be confiscated they will be declared enemy of the State and Kaboom , thank you suckers , LOL

  • And the war begins...

  • IMPEACH OBAMA

  • @BMWGoldner THe people are the problem not the president, its a puppet position

  • Just to be safe, store your gold / silver outside of the USA.

  • Oh yeah I'll store all my Gold in my Mansion on the French Riviera, Haha

  • There is no reason to confiscate Gold as it is no longer backing the dollar.

    They only did that in the 1930s to increase the dollars in circulation....

    They took back the Gold and then repriced it to a higher price -

    ie. to inject liquidity into the system to pay for stuff.

    Now they don't have to bother doing that - as their dream has come true - making $ out of thin air!

    They have the printing press - they just keep adding zeros on the computer....

  • @dojufitz

    My concern is that they'll confiscate it for the sole reason of making sure no one survives the crisis.

  • can anyone confirm if all the us presidents had step brothers?

  • that's a cool comparison picture but whats the point of it when everyone should already know bush and obama are distant cousins?

  • I like silver better than gold, but both are far better than holding fiat dollars. What do you recommend storing your wealth in clev9980?

  • In the past gold has been confiscated unless it was in a memorial/commemorative form. IE - coin/monument.

  • don't know why people would mark you down, if people had paid attention to the money masters movie, they'd understand how the national banks own most of the gold today, they've used gold for thousands of years to crash the economy. I would be more interested in silver.

  • I don't think there's enough gold in the world to pay off 1 QUADRILLION dollars worth of debt/derivatives.

    I'll bastard Bernanke conjure it out from his wet dreams.

    Let's type bigger numbers into the computer and see how much does it take to make it explode!

  • Of course there is, just at a much higher gold price.

  • the population of all peoples are much larger today than they were when the gold standard was common.

    It just doesn't seem the most reasonable solution for countries to try and obtain enough precious resources to back up the total wealth of so many humans.

  • how do you mean? if we were having trouble getting our hands on the gold that would drive gold prices through the roof and would be a great thing for anyone with savings, increase demand faster than supply can match and your savings become much more valuable and prices on the shelves of stores go down!

  • They can always get rid of a few billion people. It's called genocide.
