As Michael Rivero says:
There are two possibilities here.
1. The wrecking of your lives is intentional by design of the government.
2. The wrecking of your lives in accidental by incompetency of the government.
Either way, you are screwed and the government is to blame.
Details no longer matter.
The goal is to destroy the current system so that power and wealth can be further consolidated.



Agreed – that’s more or less the point I argued in: Illusions of Failure and Triumph of Hegemony.
#1 – agreed.
The people ‘running’ the show know exactly what they are doing and what the ultimate goals are.
I just came across a really good article on the dollar and gold as a result of the Federal Reserve’s continued attempts to debase our currency and continue to try to solve a debt crisis with more debt: Gold Price Headed to $2,300 on Hyperinflation Risk?
here’s an excerpt: “The gold price, and the price of other hard assets, is rising as more investors across the globe ask themselves how these deficits and debts will be resolved. Furthermore, new congressional initiative aimed at politicizing the Fed would give the Secretary of the Treasury a veto over Section 13(3) governing emergency action by the Federal Reserve – and effectively taking away the independence of the central bank. Setting aside discussion of the power that the Federal Reserve currently has, if politics enters the arena of monetary policy, then the U.S. dollar’s fate is sealed. Political leaders who reflexively seek political refuge in populist pork-barrel and loose fiscal policies during difficult economic times may soon have the same power – and ballot-box pressure – over monetary policy.”
