Quite awhile back I read about an island nation where the people used boar's tusks as their currency. They would raise the boar and then take the tusks and put them in their bank - a residential building full of strings of tusks hanging from the rafters. There were no guards, nor was the bank locked because the population believed that they would be punished by their God if they were to steal a tusk or tusks.
I bring this up because it shows that a different reality can work. Ideally, it would be better if the fear of punishment for theft would be replaced by, just not stealing because someone living a life of love, not fear, wouldn't steal.
What if we lived lives of love and not fear ? Instead of distancing others, what if one found common ground and grew closer to others ? Just apply the love words/action in one's life instead of the fear words/actions - ie. hate, anger, judgment, shunning, putting down, etc. ....replaced by love, closeness, union, inclusion, empathy, compassion. If one were to think on it, one would see that all the World's problems would disappear. We would be creating Heaven on Earth, here and now, instead of the Hell ( Wars, enemies, imperialism, breaking agreements, spying, secrets, espionage, hatred of all kinds, fear in all it's many forms..... ).
Trying to survive, prosper in this World of fear, means playing the same fear games that go on. I'll hoard gold and/or silver to protect myself from some disaster - fear driven behavior. What's the old but underutilized saying, " If you want to be happy, be happy". If you want Peace, be peaceful.
We live in a country that has toppled or tried to topple over 57 countries since WWII. This is called spreading Democracy. Right ? Now, that is insane just for starters. LOL. And, in the 1950s we - via the CIA - toppled a Democratically elected government in Iran to replace it with our puppet, The Shah of Iran. This worked so well, and relatively cheaply, that this sort of behavior continued. In 2014, we toppled a Democratically elected government in Ukraine and had our puppet installed, which has resulted in millions of people being killed and trillions of money wasted on the means to do such....This is our world. It's beyond insane because the majority of people think that nothing is wrong, that it's just Normal. And, it is..... " What's the problem". Fish live in water and haven't a clue. We live in a self-created Hell and haven't a clue. Lord have Mercy.
"I'll hoard gold and/or silver to protect myself from some disaster - fear driven behavior. " If you are hoarding it for the reason you state, that is true, If you are saving it for the future instead of expecting someone else to take care of you, that's called responsibility. I've often said, Robert, that if we would just adhere to two principles from the Bible that there WOULD be the Kingdom of God on Earth. Love your creator with all your heart, mind, body and soul and love your neighbor as yourself. Where we fall short is the love of self, and I don't mean some narcissistic love. I'm talking about being able to accept yourself for all your faults and be willing to realize that maybe, you weren't really being yourself when you went to some far away distant land and killed. Maybe you were ignorant and driven by lies and propaganda thinking you were right to do what you did. After all, isn't that what they drive into the average person's understanding continually at the football stadiums, on TV, in movies etc.? We're the GOOD GUYS, those guys are all bad. Kill them and let God sort them out. People need to be able to seek the forgiveness of the One who matters, our Father who art in Heaven....with an understanding of that forgiveness they can begin to love themselves for he has paid the price.
Right, live in love. And, yes, it starts with oneself. As the 4 Agreements suggests, Do Your Best - which I see as " no regrets " because at the time I was doing the best that I could under the circumstances. However one gets to "living in love " - whether through believing in a Jesus, a Buddha, that God is Consciousness, or whatever......
Saving gold / silver by reasoning that since one is living on a planet run on fear, one needs to behave responsibly, as you say, by understanding that language, which includes protecting oneself and one's family from the consequences of having to live/survive under these conditions.
The tossed pebble hits the water causing concentric ripples to spread outward in all directions. It starts at source, the pebble ( oneself ). And, the energy given to the pebble comes from Source. Maybe a good analogy...
I would bet all the fiat dollars I have that there is no more gold in Fort Knox. I have said this time after time "Money(the love of) is the root of all evil and evil is the root of all money"
yepper, could never understand why they stopped using gold and silver as currency, it never made since until i got educated about the corrupt and greedy bankers, don't use charge cards, haven't since 1984, i do have a demit card, i live by my mothers philosophy, if i don't have the money for it won't but it, did buy silver when it was 19 an oz., its all crazy
Monetary policy is boring until one discovers they've been ripped-off. "It is well that the people of our nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." [Henry Ford] At least they haven't outlawed poverty - yet.
I do have my stack of doubloons. I started stacking years ago, and have a sufficient supply.
That being said, we are on the cusp of a total credit collapse, and I believe that is the plan. When the collapse occurs, everything will immediately grind to a halt. No more online sales, no zapping QR codes, no swiping credit cards. No bank accounts, no stock portfolios, no Bitcoins. And, following soon after, no internet, and then no electricity, and then no water, and eventually, no gas to for trucks to deliver supplies.

They have outlawed poverty. But they will have difficulty enforcing it.
Great informative article. Hope more people read it and understand how we the People are getting Ripped Off.

Then the great culling will begin.
They pull that kind of shit and you’re right. The great culling will begin of THEM. Just like in 1789 in France only a lot worse.
