During the Great Depression, gold was confiscated from Americans. I keep wondering if there is still an ounce of gold in Ft. Knox...

Buying land sounds great, but once people are forced to pay their property taxes in the future central-bank digital currency, only the compliant can keep their property a little longer.

Occupying unmarked plots in the middle of nowhere might be the way to go, because that keeps you outside the system. Once you officially own anything valuable, you are easy to locate and neutralize.

It's a suicidal system that you describe. It won't come into being. I realize that some have though planned it.

Please, advise me about alternatives. :)

They should come to the fore once the failure of the dystopia becomes more obvious. But those of us aware of this early are fans of locally grown food bought from farmers markets or grown yourself, bicycles and public transport rather than self-driving cars, are aware of modern technology and hate blockchains.

Sorry about being the devil's advocate, but I believe that hoping for the best, while preparing for the worst is the way to go.

Where is "the fore," where "they" "should" "come to"? How and to what end? When has anything like that ever solved a crisis?

We also shop locally. What will happen, when physical money will not be available or will be worth nothing?

It IS coming...

What will happen, when either chemtrails cause destructive weather to the point that there will be nothing to harvest or private produce and even keeping chicken will be forbidden for the sake of "public health"? Or GMOs infect produce to the point of everything becomes infertile?

It IS coming.

What will happen, after the food runs out and the riots start? The Bidet administration has already prepared for confiscating everyone's food reserves.

It IS coming.

What will happen, when only the obedient will have access to food and water. Electricity not guaranteed.

It IS coming.

What will happen, when the non-compliant will be taken to the "Green Zones"?

It IS coming.

The list goes on... An action plan is needed and it can only be local; there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Even their plans make allowance for the fact that not everyone will agree to live in prison-cities. Their dystopian stories of 2034 include (angry) people outside the boundaries.

Agree on plan for worst and local focus. And you will need to know how to defend your food supplies. It could be shit. Let's hope for better.

Saw this. Our pork production in US already owned by China. More fire sale to come. Couple this with declining population predictions and it is awful.

I don't think that it has to happen. It will be a different world, doesn't have to be a worse one. Of course looking from the elite level, it will be worse.

Smart advice. Small bit of land and grow a diverse amount of food is first. There was an Oklahoma Senator who commission a study a while back on US Debt the main result was at 30 trillion any new debt would be absorbed by legacy debts and such instead of propping up the economy.

Re your last sentence, let's hope so.

And re Amanda, she's been suspended for 24 hours. But if she wants to try it on again, she will be banned permanently.

I doubt that the FDA had the health of American citizens at forefront when they made that decision. But yeah I tend to think that at best Ivermectin is overrated. Hard not to think otherwise when you can't even believe in the virus.

They're likely close enough. Imagine if Bill Gates sold all his shares, how much would Microsoft shares go down to as more came onto the market? Apply that to much of Corporate America and you should be able to see what the problem is.

I guess it depends if Blackrock et al want to hold on to the last minute or come to the party and negotiate with us. So far it's the first.

Most of the money printed (as in video Dotcom linked) was printed digitally and therefore went to the likes of Blackrock. It will only trickle into the general community if it is printed. It's an attempt to destroy the middle class as they now own less of the total assets.

I said negotiate, not plead.

Well I'd be excluding the digital currency.

It's just a book. But I guess my subconscious could have been up to some tricks.
