The absolute must watch: Jim Rickards on Economy and Security. Not for simple minds...

[the count]

You have to watch at least the first hour of this speech. This is no crack pot or fringe doomsdayer... this guys is briefing politicians and military brass on how bad the (world) economy really is and to what this will lead to. All fed ploys are disguised along with the stupidity of leaders here and in Europe. Heavy stuff. Pay attention or keep you head in the sand.

USA may decide they have to go back to gold standard after all the bankers fucked the world over.

ya know if Rickards is correct on his assumption about plan B and the plan is already in place then what Bernanke has been doing at least in part would be brilliant in a diabolical sort of way by perpetuating the current system for as long as possible before plan B would have to implemented. It would seem as if maybe Bernanke were not quite as reckless as he seems.

It's also amazing that it would only take the Eurozone, IMF and the U.S. to create a global currency backed by gold. That would almost certainly be stable enough until long after we are all gone. Just sayin
