Interesting article on the future of our economy

Well, in the first paragraph, there are a number of claims that are debatable, at best. And it smacks of self promotion. Anyway, predicting the future is always a challenge, and most people are only right 50% of the time.
Also, I feel that appearing on cable news does not lend much credibility to a person. 'Tis a low bar, indeed. Especially this is true for those who appear mainly on the channels that have obvious ideaology, like Fox and MSNBC. There are excellent new sources that have a history of relatively unbiased coverage, so I don't know why people bother with slanted new sources. I do read a variety of sources to get a feel for what's out there, but it's all with a lot of salt.
IMHO, emergancy preparation shouldn't be political or based on fear. We should be preparing because it's important, not because someone with a book makes foolish claims. The End of the World fantasy only appeal to a very small part of the population, and isn't a way to effectivelt mobilize most people. The more people who are prepared, the safer we are as a society. I think it's much more compelling to encourage people to prepare because of storms, etc, like what happened out east a few weeks back.

Changes are occuring to currencies and banking world wide. Our USA currency is fiat money, value based on "our say-so" backed by nothing. Our country's finances are crumbling, the Federal Reserve is in death throes printing out more and more fiat money. It cannot last. Food could become the new currency when our economy implodes.
With all due respect to poster k15n1, this is not political or based on fear. Change is rumbling all accross the world's countries. The BIS is not cable TV, Fox News, or some self serving fear mongering doomsday sooth sayer.
Educate yourselves.

With all respect, the BIS is a New World Order orginazition, a group elected by no one that wants to run the economy OF THE WORLD. Yes change is rumbling across the countries and one of the prime drivers of that change is BIS the more problems that develope the better the chance that BIS can gain power. Yes the US dollar is fiat money and it is currently accepted as safe in a large part of the world and the BIS is attacking the dollar even though they don't even have a currency, all their "settlements" are book entry and guess who keeps the books? It boils down to who do you trust, the unknowns at the Federal Reserve or the really unknowns of the BIS HQ'd in Basel which they are trying to make the capital of the world.baymule said:
BTW if food does become the new basis of exchange Remember that North America has been feeding the rest of the world since WWII. Think about that.
