Ron Paul has proved his knowledge of the inevitable crash

of the the dollar; but what about after it crashes? What can be done after the destruction has begun?

If you wont fight for the right when you can easily win...you may...have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival [or] when there is no chance of victory...it's better to perish than to live as slaves.
W.Churchill

Mathew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

so as the tax revenues

so as the tax revenues plumment as shown in the article below, the government prints more money to make up the shortfall to pay its bills.. Jim Sinclair is exactly right.. see below...

Jim’s Formula:
September 1, 2006

1. First interest rates rise affecting the drivers of the US economy, housing, but before that auto production goes from bull to a bear markets.
2. This impacts many other industries and the jobs report. An economy is either rising at a rising rate or business activity is falling at an increasing rate. That is economic law 101. There is no such thing in any market as a Plateau of Prosperity or Cinderella - Goldilocks situations.
3. We have witnessed the Dow rise on economic news indicating deceleration of activity. This continues until major corporations announced poor earnings, making the Dow fall faster than it rose, moving it deeply into the red.
4. The formula economically is inherent in #2 which is lower economic activity equals lower profits.
5. Lower profits leads to lower Federal Tax revenues.
6. Lower Federal tax revenues in the face of increased Federal spending causes geometric, not arithmetic, rises in the US Federal Budget deficit. This is also true for cities & States as it is for the Federal government.
7. The increased US Federal Budget deficit in the face of a US Trade Deficit increases the US Current Account Deficit.
8. The US Current Account Balance is the speedometer of the money exiting the US into world markets (deficit).
9. It is this deficit that must be met by incoming investment in the US in any form. It could be anything from businesses, equities to Treasury instruments. We are already seeing a fall off in the situation of developing nations carrying the spending habits of industrial nations; a contradiction in terms.
10. If the investment by non US entities fails to meet the exiting dollars by all means, then the US must turn within to finance the shortfall.
11. Assuming the US turns inside to finance all maturities, interest rates will rise with the long term rates moving fastest regardless of prevailing business conditions.
12. This will further contract business activity and start a downward spiral of unparalleled dimension because the size of US debt already issued is of unparalleled dimension.

Therefore as you get to #12 you are automatically right back at #1. This is an economic downward spiral.

I heard all this “slow business” as negative to gold talk in the 70s. It was totally wrong then. It will be exactly the same now.

A prudent man foresees the difficulties ahead and prepares for them; the simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. Proverbs 22:3
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to
send peace on earth: I came not to send peace,
but a sword.

This is it?

So, this is it again?

Therefore as you get to #12

I totaled up the rise in

I totaled up the rise in prices for all the basic necessities I expend money on. Things you can't do without, like food, utilities, insurance, etc. So far this year my personal inflation rate is 26%. On the other end of things I've noticed something else happening. Work has been picking up, BUT, I have found that once people get me to do the work, they can't pay me, or they can only pay a portion of the bill. It does not even out at all. My personal standard of living has gone straight down hill for over a year with no end in sight. We are in big trouble.

Interesting

Who cares if the dollar

Who cares if the dollar "collapses"? So what? Prices go up, but you get paid more so it evens out. Maybe we can finally have a "earth currancy" wouldn't that be great.

Think for yourself, question authority

Yeah who cares?

We care - those of us who worked for decades, never took on any debt, and saved our dollars. To us, it's called "stealing." So we are forced to speculate. Mattress money, no good. I also have a tiny, tiny pension. No big deal. But people who are completely dependent on pensions are flat out of luck.

You know who else should care? Everyone who is not on the receiving end of government money. The people who get the counterfeit money take real value out of the system. Everyone else is the poorer for it.

I think Ron Paul may have said a thing or two about inflation. You could look it up.

Wages have not kept up pace with the dollar devaluing.

So the people lose...that is why back before they unpegged the dollar from gold in the 70's and started printing money like it grew on trees, a family could live comfortably on one income. Now it takes 2 1/2 incomes to live.

exactly............

"The dollar"

Remember that "the dollar" in this context means the power of the dollar to buy a basket of other fiat currencies. All fiat currencies are in mega trouble.

There is a case that the dollar is poised for a rally. Bullish sentiment for the dollar is very, very low. That contrary indicator means that traders and speculators who might short the dollar have for the most part already done so. They could get caught in a short squeeze -- again. That would send "the dollar" quickly higher.

Me? Aside from my core position in physical gold and silver, I am almost totally on the sideline in US cash. That could change at any time. I do have a small bet against the 30 year Treasury bond. I'm watching very carefully.

P.s. Maybe I should not mention this, but I've found that Daily Paul sentiment is also a pretty good contrary indicator.

please, what do you mean by...

"contrary indicator"

thank you

It's a statistical measure,

It's a statistical measure, index, or something like that, which typically indicates that the underlying asset will move in the opposite direction from the sentiment behind the measure. That's not a very good definition. An example may help.

Various organizations calculate "investor sentiment" measures. They look at things like advance-decline ratios, put-call ratios, volume weighted price averages, etc... When the measures are high, it means people are keen on buying the assets in question. Market tops generally occur when investor sentiment is at a very high level. Then something happens to pop the bubble. Conversely, market lows happen when investor sentiment is in the dumpster.

Didn't the dollar collapse start yesterday

He's a week too late

Chicken Little

Be aware...this is a person whom has spent the past 2 years writing that the next day, month, or few months will bring everything from dollar failure to earthquakes to all our armegeddon.

I understand that when you constanly speak of imminent failure, you must occasionally change names so people might believe you a little, when you know damn well that if you kept being SierraHPBT, that people would continue rolling their eyes.

Eventually, the dollar will resume down, but if you keep waiting for an all-out collapse...it is evident that you don't have the first clue how monetary systems work.

wimpy.... my other screen

wimpy.... my other screen name was banned because I got tired of trolls like you.. I am not hiding behind another screen name I have posted with this name and signed SIERRA,,, nice try.. gold and silver are up. the housing market is not coming back.. because the stock market has rebounded, which a few of us on here have called correctly, you think we are headed for recovery... simple things for simple minds.. go back and read what I wrote late last winter , early spring.. I am looking for the stock market to rally to 9500-11000 mark then we will have a huge decline.. looks like its doing exactly that.. you need to stick to your middle management job while you can and tend to your 3 people blogspot...
mental masturbation is all it is... by the way the dollar has resumed down very quickly... not eventually.

That makes no sense

Your other screen name was banned because you got tired of trolls like me. What does that mean?

I am not surprised that gold and silver are up, if you remember (I'll prove it if you like) I said that early December was the time to buy gold and silver. You, on the other hand, have been screaming buy since it went to $1000/oz last year.

I didn't say we were headed for a recovery dipshit...I said things would start looking more normal, and this was mid-February. I'm saying now that we'll probably have another decline before 2009 is up.

Don't expect a dollar crash to occur any time soon.

and you know everything...

don't you, snizzles?

you know, its hard for me to be nice when talking to you because you are so condescending, flippant, and downright snotty with your "everything is fine, nothing to see here, move along" attitude...

SierraHPBT, to me, is like RP in the House of Reps...someone who sounds the drum beat of trouble on the horizon...someone who points to a storm cloud and says take cover...and you mock them!

here is a link for you, if you care to wake up and open your eyes...

http://seekingalpha.com/article/113843-housing-where-is-the-...

here, you will see, that the housing market has not bottomed and, clearly, 1 in 4 family households have a dangerous potential of being foreclosed upon in the next two years...

how do you think that will impact the economy...how do you think that will impact precious metals?

how do you think?

nice article ECO... as you

nice article ECO... as you can see no responce.. he will only pay attention if it is a government statistic or comes from the mouths of CNBC
commentators like Steve LIESman. The guy got the oil prediction correct but that was luck.. He missed the top to 147 and missed the low to 35.00
Lindsey Williams hit it dead on.. everything he told us last June/ July hit perfectly. The Chinese and other economies are moving forward. We have a communist in the white house pushing all out fascism and ol jz there calls it a little bit of socialism... lmao.. the guy is a paid plant. he said he would not have nothing to do with this movement if it were not for having to pay taxes or buying goods with devalued dollars.. anyone who reads and believes anything he says is crazy in my opinion.. According to him and a very few others , interest rates were supposed to be rising by the end of last year, we were supposed to be in boom times again.. as you can see this is the worst crisis our economy has faced since the 1930's.
jz thinks were are reliving 1979-80... thats a laugh in a half.. read this..

This piece is a few days old


But he's right. I am slowly getting out of the dollar and into Euros and Australian dollars.

People that are smarter than me are suggesting the Swedish Krona, the Norwegian Kroner and the Indian Rupee.

The dollar may hang on a little longer - it bounced back against the Yen, but the real problem is that people - around the world - have lost faith in the United States and its currency.

isn't the sweedish currency

isn't the sweedish currency crashing right now too?

Im not sure about Monday.....

but by the middle to the end of September just before judgement day October 1, the start of the Federal fiscal year. The charts on your link showed the same thing that Bob Chapman on his web site has been saying. You never know, there maybe some banks this friday going belly up, and the FDIC to short of cash to cover them to kick this off.

http://www.theinternationalforecaster.com/

Short of cash?

The FDIC being short of cash is immaterial. If they run out of cash, they will have the complete permission of the Fed to invent some money to refill that coffer.

The FDIC fund is just for show...they will get whatever money they need.

so that is why 1.00 in 1913

so that is why 1.00 in 1913 buys what 97.00 dollars buys today.. just keep printing... at some point people do not want those dollars and that is what we are seeing the beginning of..

At what point?

You're talking of a population that sat idly by and let 97% of the value of their money burn, and you have faith that we're suddenly going to stand up and refuse to use money?

That's the game they're playing...only steal a little at a time, so most people are simply unaware.

To think that at some point, someone would not want a dollar, is certainly beyond me. So long as a dollar buys anything the US has to offer (because it's legal tender and the only thing you're allowed to use) it will have value.

At what point does the dollar quit being used? At no point soon.

Well put!

"...they will just INVENT some money ..."!

The insanity inherent in our fraudulent and unsustainable financial and monetary systems never ceases to amaze me. Future historians will have a field day writing books on the madness and corruption of our era.

Such is life

It sucks, tis the world that we live.

The whole thing is all totally dependent upon nothing more than everyone believes that it works...so it does.

It allows them to rob us at will with complete disregard and with no accountability. It makes a dollar in your hand a constantly declining asset and assures when I lend you a dollar, it will be worth less when you pay it back.

The real challenge isn't seeing this system, it's devising a new system, and laying down a path for us to get there. It's deeply entrenched and arguing against it without a viable alternative option is futile.

I love the articles describing utopian money systems...I don't think I've seen one I would consider viable yet...but it's at least stepping in the right direction for this movement.

Be a idealist if you must, but you must also be a realist.
