The bible says: There is desirable treasure, silver and gold, and oil in the dwelling of the wise…
Proverbs 21:20

Sounds like the Bible is telling us how to be good stewards of the resources God has given us. I love your articles – keep up the great work!

I just came across your site.
I too, think we should prepare for the fall of the dollar and get tangibles.
But, I notice no one really talks about visions of America’s destruction.
I am a Christian, and searching about prophecy about America on the net, shows, some have had visions of a sneak nuclear attack on America by Russia, and our utter destruction!!!!!!!!
I have sent emails to the famous survivalblog website about this topic, and of course no response, and not posted on his website. And he is a Christian.
I think we are going to have some tough times ahead and we may survive for awhile as those who are preparing for this. WITH YOU ALL THE WAY, JUNIOR, ALTHOUGH I DON’T WORRY ABOUT ARMAGEDDON. IS NO MY YOB! I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF IT HAPPENED IN 2012, BUT I’M NOT READY TO GO PUT ON A WHITE NIGHTY AND HOLD SIGNS THAT SAY “REPENT, FOR THE TIME IS NEAR.” THE MAYAN CALENDAR ENDS 21 DECEMBER 2012, BUT LET’S BUY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS JUST IN CASE?
But the future…………….. I think we are dooooooooooooomed!!!!!!!!
50,000,000 abortions(MURDER)!
Open homosexuality and other rampant sins openly tolerated and accepted as normal by many.
God always punishes a nation for it’s sin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since I just came to this site, I don’t know what you believe, but since you say you do research, I wish you to comment on this subject, after researching it of course. SWEETIE, THE WORLD HOLDS IT TO BE A MORTAL SIN TO BE A PROFESSING CHRISTIAN, BUT I AM ONE, AND I ASK HIM EVERY NIGHT TO SPARE THOSE OF US WHO LOVE HIM, EVEN IF HE HAS TO LANCE A FEW BOILS FULL OF PUS. HOWEVER, HERE WE FOCUS ON ECONOMIC ISSUES, PRIMARILY, SO WHY DON’T YOU AND I DISCUSS THEOLOGY ELSEWHERE? I’LL BE GLAD TO. GARY, PLEASE GIVE JUNIOR MY ADDRESS, OR SEND ME HIS.
Can America be turned around?
Can this judgment be put off????????????
Remember the story of Jonah and whale?
Nineveh was given another chance when it repented. Read it again in the Bible in the book of Jonah.
Here are some url’s to get started on this research.
Please read these and comment.

A snippet:
The precious metals market collapses because they have become useless instruments of trade for the commodities that the world needs … food.
You cannot eat gold.
Mud Cakes. Poverty is so great in Haiti that they are making cookies out of mud, oil and water! They cannot afford to buy food even if it existed. In the end there will be no food to buy.
NO WONDER YOUR COOKIES DIDN’T TURN OUT RIGHT. YOU FORGOT THE SUGAR! » Useless Wealth. They will fling their silver into the streets and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord.
Severe Famine. They cannot satisfy their appetite nor can they fill their stomachs, for their iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling. (Ezekiel 7: 19)
Their wealth is useless because it cannot buy food. Those who have access to food will not sell it at any price. Wealth will not be able to buy a medical solution for the sores. Wealth will not clean up rivers and seas or stop the heat. When God destroys the infrastructure and there are no poor people to underpay, the wicked will find that their wealth is useless for buying privilege and influence and maid service. But they will have expensive toilet paper. Maybe their spoilt children can learn to make a sandwich. VERY TRUE. THAT’S WHY WE DON’T JUST ACCUMULATE “METAL,” AS WE REFER TO GOLD, SILVER, AND SO FORTH. LEARN TO GROW YOUR OWN FOOD.

Economic Exploitation
Economic exploitation is a sign of the end of time. SORRY, ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION IS A SIGN OF BEING HUMAN. It is both surprising and ironic that in this enlightened age ENLIGHTENED AGE? YOU BEEN SMOKIN’ TH’ GOOD STUFF? that we have turned back to these policies during a time of economic growth.

In fact, wealth will be a liability. So instead of being able to use their wealth to buy better conditions, the rich are forced to abandon all signs of wealth. They must leave their expensive homes, cars and jewelry. YUP, HUNKER DOWN, LOOK HUNGRY, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Their money is probably lost in bank failures and in a stock market crash. Yet they cannot trade precious metal or other hard currency because it is a useless liability that cannot be eaten. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE WITH SURPLUS, AND THE SILVER WILL COME IN HANDY.
For several years I have watched as several forms of slavery have returned to the world. THEY NEVER WENT ANYWHERE. While the world experienced many years of economic growth, the number of poor increased. The wealth produced was distributed to the wealthy, it did not trickle down to the poor. Today, there are 27 million slaves on the planet.
As the value of precious metals soar, I have also seen the wealthy switching to gold and precious metals as the asset to purchase and I cannot help but think that this shift is prophetic because God is setting up the conditions for their fall. Divine Justice EASY, NOW, JUNIOR. I DO NOT PRESUME TO READ THE MIND OF GOD. TRUST AND OBEY AND LEAVE THE DRIVING TO HIM.

The Sins of Power and Excess. The economic forces seem to be deliberately creating a global debt bondage society where wealth is concentrated in a few families or corporations and the rest of humanity is the fodder in a feudal society. Governments are increasingly in the business of creating a fascist state.

JUNIOR, YOU HAVE A LOT OF INTERESTING COMMENTS, BUT HERE ON MORNING WHISKEY WE DON’T BRING RELIGION INTO THINGS. I LIKE A GOOD, ROUSING THEOLOGICAL DISCUSSION AS MUCH AS ANY AND MORE THAN MOST, SO LET’S SEE IF WE CAN MOVE THIS CONVERSATION OVER TO WHERE IT BELONGS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR WRITING. LINDA

“Left Wing Congress” — ? Is this on another planet in another solar system, perhaps? Certainly not in the US which so many of the people of planet Earth know to fear and mistrust. Left-wing? The corporate-serving crooks in Washington? Get real! What on earth would you call right-wing, I wonder.

Dear Welsh Person:

My apologies for not being able to discern your gender from your name so that I can address you by the correct honorific, but I have only been to Wales once (delightful, although you will understand why I preferred Ireland) and did not become an expert on (pardon the expression) “Christian” names, there..

I’m having a real problem trying to decide what I would call “right wing” by your definition. One thinks of Genghis Khan, of course, and he DID come from the Caucauses, but he was basically a bandit, not a political thinker. Some of the Egyptian pharoahs, mayhap. Lovely people. Their idea of a truly great century was one in which absolutely NOTHING changed, a system that kept them in power for several thousand years. (AH, if we could only be where we were in 1909, knowing what we do now. Problem is, MY side DID know it.) True, they would fight a war if forced into it, and they liked to win (when they didn’t they just rewrote history, showing startling Liberal tendencies), but all in all…don’t rock th’ feluca. Or does that need two L’s? Probably. Those are the small “houseboats” which traversed the Nile for centuries, and there are still a few around for tourists who don’t mind being shot at or kidnapped by simple agrarian reformers. Yeah, I could like a country/time when we told time by whether it were raining or not and who the king was. (“Second month, day 10 of the Innundation, in the 43rd year of the reign of…”)

Right wing…right wing…with all that term of opprobrium means to “moderate middle-of-the-road progressives.” Dang. Rush Limbaugh is a little soft on issues, and Bill O’Reilly, his fine Irish name notwithstanding, isn’t really atuned to my mind. Not that I would call myself “right wing.” Y’all call us that because we’re RIGHT, you know. Dagny Taggart? Not even close. John Galt? Nope, and dull, to boot. Dagny should have stuck with Hank Reardon, although I’ve always preferred Francisco D’Anconia, myself.

I would describe myself as a laissez faire Jeffersonian “republican,” since all I want to do is live in peace and serenity. That’s the difference: I want to earn everything I get and have done so all my life. I get my hands dirty when need be, although my goal is to be successful enough so that I don’t have to do so. I don’t want to tell anyone else how to live his life so long as he does not complicate mine. In the marvelous words of Ray Stevens, when he recounted his experiences in various barber shops colorfully,” I’m a simple man. I just want to sing my little songs…”

I’m an uncomplicated lady. I just want to raise my crops and animals, take care of my land, keep what I earn from hard work, thrift, and deferring gratification, love the four fabulous men in my life, and give of my surplus MYSELF to those in need, not have government do that for me via extortion. Funny old me. (And don’t you go thinkin’ Ah’m up to somethin’ unsavory. The men are my darling Charles, Gary, my foreman, and my son. I love my daughter, Charlotte, who has been my best friend since 1969, and I’ve got a terrific candidate for true friendship from one of the readers, bless her.)

See, we have found common ground! YOU don’t believe such a thing as a wild-eyed, radical, Left-Wing, fascistic lunatic exists, despite the evidence of your own eyes, and I can’t come up with a single reactionary, oppressionistic, right wing monster. Dang, you grinders of peasants’ faces into the dirt, where are you? Haven’t you got a medieval bone in your bodies, you slackers? Get out there and give the government some competition by building slum housing.

Y’all write again, now, you hear, Rhisiart? DO enter my contest and write me an essay on all that you think is wrong with the Jeffersonian Agrarian Republic–and tell me where you live, please. As though I didn’t know. I’ll bet you a week at Mildew Manor as my feted guest that you live on the Left Coast, on the Atlantic seaboard, in a large city, or along the Southern border of the US. Where else WOULD you live? See my archived article, “They Ain’t No Lib’ruls in Feed Stores.”

Keep an eye out for an upcoming piece on the Normas vs. the Saxons, Sugar, ’cause I guarantee it will give you heartburn for a week. I have given up on you compassionate, M-O-T-R, “progressives” being able to learn to tell time, and there is no way to the results of your “Great” Society and other socialistic programs will fail to bring the USA to its knees. When people are starving and rioting in the streets because Bernanke and the gang raping the economy have run their course, don’t expect any sympathy from me.

You have a nice life, now, for as long as the wheels stay on the fascistic freight train and so long as vehicles with 18 of ‘em manage to get food to where you live. “Just in time” inventory means that there is at most a three-day supply, and after that you’ll have to figure out who you can wrest sustenance from, ’cause Helicopter Ben, et al., will have destroyed the dollar.

Lordy, thanks for the fun! Y’know th’ real problems with Lib’ruls? Y’all got th’ hearts of union leaders an’ th’ souls of particularly grim social workers. Learn to lighten up. Life can be marvelous…when we get the government out of it.

Cordially yours,

Linda Brady Traynham

Don’t stop THERE, please! What did the Gold 200 special report say that roused your scepticism? What can we learn from your uneasiness?

Regards,

Depends upon where you are! My darling Charles browsed happily through Craig’s List while I wrote, and there were some in North Houston, Conroe, Corsicana, NE Austin, up around Dallas/Fort Worth, and so forth. Good luck. LBT
