It's about earth shift. Earth shift: One huge continent became 2 continents, then 5 (or 6) and then?

the gold market is bubbling, it will be the next bust. once the economy becomes sound, gold will once again devalue, and all those who jumped on the band wagon last, will be left holding the bag.

You can't just audit the FED.
A. The process alone would bankrupt us.
B. 2 years later, they'd give a 1 page report on the condition of the scam...."All looks good, we're in the Black".

We understand the scam, see it's immediate and long term results first hand. Even if they could prove to us at this point it isn't a scam, well then surely it's just a broke ass system.
We need to abolish the system all-together. Right from the get go.

Nothing but food can be eaten, but gold gets your more food more often than paper money does. Food can't be stored forever like gold can, so those who can't carry month's worth of food while moving to a new safe location, region, country, would be best to carry gold.
The concept "you can't eat gold" is a fraud, because you can't eat any paper money either, and you can't carry months of food on your back. You can buy lots of meals with a bar of gold.

If the depression is coupled with deflation, gold WILL flow into the country, because it will be more valuable in the country that has undergone deflation than countries that have not.

impossible. Being more valuable doesn't move it in. It's a demand that has no power. Something needs to be traded. It could involve fraud but there's no way gold flows in without something else flowing out in exchange, without it being armies, genocide, theft, from another nation's supplies. There's no magic here: value doesn't create supply or flow. Trade does.

What makes the most sense is that gold will flow OUT of a nation as people use it to buy what their dollars can not, to get goods in. Gold flow within a nation implies enough has been kept around to use for barter / money and not paper. Gold flowing into the depressed economy REQUIRES items of value to EXPORT in trade. REQUIRES.
