Last week I wrote the essay “Crash Positions,” which got quite a bit of traction. Basically an overall analysis of where we’re at, as the USA dollar collapses, along with implications for the normal people who will be affected. It was a cathartic process for me, honestly. And I thought that was it; I was done with my financial analysis, I’d finished with my “get busy prepping, ’cause our time is up” post; I could go back to staying quiet, keep prepping, working with local guys, etc. In other words, minding my own business. But that wasn’t it.

In my last post, I stated

“In short order, our phony leaders have basically forced China, Russia, India and even Pakistan to join up, and permanently yank the carpet from under the fiat-money banking system that the globalists base their power on…. No bullshit, that’s just the truth. You can debate about the whys, but that doesn’t have any practical value for me, so we’ll move on to what that means, what’s coming, when, and give my recommendations of what you can do to best prepare, in the very short time we have left.”

WHY?

A friend asked me a series of questions as to the “whys” of the thing, basically forced me to consider other implications beyond the local. In other words, what does it mean on the geopolitical stage, given the propaganda coming from all sides, regarding Ukraine, Russia, resources, etc.

And then I remembered this conversation:

Morpheus: Everything begins with choice.

Merovingian: No. Wrong. Choice is an illusion, created between those with power, and those without. … ‘Why’ is what separates us from them, you from me. ‘Why’ is the only real social power, without it you are powerless.

To recap from my last post, the total collapse of the dollar is imminent, within weeks to months. When that occurs, you won’t be able to buy anything imported. Think of Walmart, Sam’s Club, Costco, etc. No imported food like green seedless grapes from Chile or Argentina, no bananas from Ecuador, no oil filters or tires, no clothes, no potash fertilizer from Russia, no oil from Saudi Arabia or Russia, etc. I expect prices for everything to go up 4-5 times almost overnight, as the dollar is repudiated, and then go stratospheric from there. I believe banking systems (where 99% of people store their money) will be frozen, while the purchasing power of the dollar collapses to zero. Food riots, fuel riots, on top of the famine and starvation that are already coming to America, regardless of the dollar collapse. The background on how we got here, and why it’s occurring, are the first hyperlink at the top of page.

Ok, let’s move on.

The entire Western economic system is built on fiat money- money not linked to any commodity, such as gold or silver, or anything else. A gold-backed currency is one where you can go to a bank at any time, and either buy or sell gold for the stated value of the currency. This limited how much money a country could circulate; put simply, if they had $100 million of money floating around in the economy and only $10 million of gold in their vaults, a wealthy guy could swoop in and clean out the treasury, wiping out the gold supply, crashing the dollar, and making a huge profit in actual purchasing power. So the Federal Reserve had printed so much money that by 1971 it was mathematically impossible to cover the volume of debts (your Federal Reserve Notes) with all the gold in the world… at the “stated” value. So rather than reprice gold at what its real value is, they decided to cut the dollar link to gold, hence the “Bretton Woods 2” agreement, where the dollar was allowed to “float.” Of course, “float” really meant it allowed the Federal Reserve to print to the moon . . .
