Not Gold or Silver or any other thing. As it says in the bible in the end nothing will have value. not new age conciousness celente (a.k.a the great luciferian new age religion) as spoken about in revelations, as there shall be a great falling away from the one and only true faith of Christianty. All These things have been written about before 2000 years ago, in the bible. It speaks about 10 super states having power for a short bit, and they will give power to anti christ, which is going to be the New Age Jesus, who will deceive the whole world, and they will practice a unified spirituality. Then this Anti-Christ will bring 3 1/2 years of peace and after that he turns against everyone for another 3 1/2 years, and the end is here. Now no one can predict when the exact time of this can be, just as god said himsself, when he said only the father knows. But when you start seeing more unions like the european union ect forming when pretty much the whole world is broken up into unions, know that the time is near. Just like god said himself, don't put your trust in man because he will always disapoint but put your trust in the god. He is the only way for us to be saved and his name is Jesus Christ our lord. - Elsid Sat, 20 Dec 2008 08:29:50 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-6872 the United States made many deals with Nazis before, during and after WW2. Nazis were allowed into the USA in exchange for military secrets and more. Who runs all the corps now? Who runs the government now? People in the USA were bought out with cars, homes and steak. Just like the Nazis did to the Germans on the eve of ww2. It is a shame that this country was taken over like a free for all after we dropped the bomb. The NAZIS ARE HERE AND THEY RUN THE SHOW AN HAVE BEEN. - seer Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:18:22 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-5198 It's very easy for someone who's in their 30's, 40's to 50's - they think they know the markets and that everything happening now is just another cycle. WAKE THE FUCK UP! Do you not realize since 9/11 Bush has anally-penetrated your constitution with laws parallel to Hitler's after the Reichstag fire (their fake Pearl Harbour/9/11 false-flag operation). Funnily enough Bush's grandfather helped the Nazi's rise to power... just type Prescott Bush into Google. Forget the markets! Study the FORCES at work. When you learn about the NAU coming (fall of dollar & U.S/CAN/MEX empires) and the NWO (New World Order) and their motives and what they are now almost publicly calling for... When you take the advice of fellow brothers and sisters doing nothing more to advice you to save your fucking families and friends... when you take their advice without referring to fucking tin foil hats and conspiracy theories.. MAYBE... JUST MAYBE... when you are starving and your daughter is in the freezing rain with no clothes... with her private parts exposed and the criminals are waiting in the bus stop to pounce on her.. MAYBE if you have some gold - I can offer you shelter/food clothes. If your daughter is old enough, I'll even pay you gold to give her a good banging ;) But you must get out of the trap of paper money! You will be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO shocked at the speed of the shift of the economy. Like the black market economy of the soviet union etc. In a flash, you will be faced with people only trading with other goods (gold silver for food/clothes/guns/ammo). The question is... are you prepared? What is your focus right now - are you spending even one minute to discover what your lovely government ALREADY HAS LAWS PASSED AND PLANNED FOR YOUR COUNTRY & YOUR CITIZENS.. Are you doing that, or do you still believe World War 3 will never happen and that 19 muslim cave men tricked a trillion dollar defence system for 1.30hrs.. while all the jets were doing war game exercises with Cheney at command.. for the EXACT SAME SCENARIOS! The transcripts for the air traffic control was literally... "We gotta hijacked airline, may need to scramble some jets".... "Is this real world, or exercise?" Wait a minute, didn't Condi Rice say they never IMAGINED planes would be used to fly into buildings. My fellow american friend, wake up or shut up. Don't distrupt others! Just like you dumb cunts in school ruined education for the smart ones... Don't ruin the survival chances of todays smart EITHER WAKE UP, BE AWARE & CONCIOUS OR GO BACK TO SLEEP AND INJECT HEROIN INTO YOUR ARSE CRACK! - Christop8a Tue, 27 May 2008 13:53:59 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-4747 For several year I have been telling my friends I hoped I lived long enough to see and experience us hitting the end of the rope. And hitting the end of the rope is sure to come with the policies we have - Escbc Sat, 15 Mar 2008 03:41:07 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-4718 All I can say is (what you sow is what you reap)so I think over the last 30 years or so we sowed a lot of weeds. Debt Debt and more Debt, which will lead to dispair, dispair, dispair. Without a doubt we are in uncharted waters. Break out the life jackets. I hope the water isn't freezing.

If we turn out to be okay, fine. But everything points out to our economy being unsustainable. We have the ongoing wars (including the "War on Terror" despite our borders left Wide Open). We have a massive trade deficit. We keep funding illegal aliens through free births, WIC etc benefits, Free Schooling along with Free breakfasts & lunches. We should Bill ALL NON-ENGLISH-SPEAKING STUDENTS' PARENTS for this services. Let them feel the pain instead of the schools demanding another tax for this service. We should end ALL tax breaks to corporations/people who offshore their bank accounts, offshore our jobs, use all manner of Visa workers and illegal aliens {we can't continue to survive being a "service-oriented nation}. We should make sure oil companies pay extraction fees. We should heavily TAX all REMITTENCE money leaving this nation (including the participating banks and wiring services. We should end the Tax-Exempt status of all churches, foundations & institutions who are ramming illegal aliens down our throats. End ALL services to illegal aliens! I just don't know how any of this multi-pronged attack on our middle class is sustainable, so I will listen to the people who need to "Get a Life." - Ralene Tue, 26 Feb 2008 12:04:37 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-4507 Recession 2008, MOTHER OF ALL DEPRESSIONS 2009, 3RD WORLD COUNTRY AMERICA 2010. - Mark Thu, 21 Feb 2008 12:03:57 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-4488 Lots of talk about gold. Silver is a better buy as money and is used more in industry, The upside is much greater for silver and it's lesser value per ounce makes it easier to use. - Ray: Silver Sun, 17 Feb 2008 19:42:35 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-4486 What a bunch of scardy cats. Oh no! The sky is falling !

Tops are like that -- maniacal, crazy. Like the dot.com top. Like any top. People paying CRAZY prices for things -- like $800,000 for particle-board 2-bedroom houses in california. I'm projecting the final manic buying episode for gold at sometime in 2010. Just a hunch. - Alan Sat, 09 Feb 2008 21:36:07 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-4476 PATRICK: "I mean come on, its not like the first time we've gone through this cycle. I remember the last time gold was $800 oz. Lost a lot of compound interest in the intervening quarter century and gained a lot of grey hair. Thankfully I had California real estate." It's all TIMING, isn't it? ALL timing. If you bought heavily into california real estate in 2005 or 2001, as many hundreds of thousands did, you're going to be singing the blues (and gaining a whole lot of grey hair) for many years to come. Whereas if you had bought gold at $75 per ounce in 1973, and sold for, say, $400 or $500 in 1979, then, well, you would be a happier camper. Or, if you had bought gold under $300 in 1999, as I did, then you would similarly be happy camper. Gold is STILL FAR UNDER its inflation-adjusted high. Even at $900, it is still a bargain. It will go to many thousands per ounce, in the final panic buying episode (like in 1979). THEN SELL. Get it? Buy low, sell high. Basic principle. - Alan Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:44:24 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-4474 We have allowed this to happen to us. I don't believe that all this will happen soon, but if we don't start focusing on our own country and stop amending our own constitution this country will be in big trouble. This country is based on fundamentals that are so far skewed it only makes sense that we will fall. Our current political structure is so corrupt, democrats and republicans alike. Greed will be our downfall, but I believe that those who are more concerned about themselves and less about their neighbor will be the first to suffer. AMERICA WILL SURVIVE! - OUR FAULTS Fri, 08 Feb 2008 16:54:30 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-4466 The High Crimes & Misdemeanors of the billionaires, Cheney & BuSh, caused much of the mess wasting the trillions of dollars our grandchildren would have inheirited without the folly of Iraq. Remember BuSh declaring victory in Iraq on the Navy ship? He had the greatest opportunity to declare Mission Accomplished truthfully, after capturing Saddam. Then he could have walked away, leaving the thousand year old conflict in Iraq to the Iraqies, but he had to show how ignorant he was of history and prove his manhood to his political stooges. Thus America is now the third class nation we never thought possible. Let's put Cheney & BuSh on trial!! - Lance Thu, 07 Feb 2008 18:02:49 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-4444 Look back at history, Republicans screw up economy and country, electorate wises up, elects Democrats, economy and country gets straightened out, Republicans hire economists and spinmiesters, promise voters that taxes can be cut and they can have something for nothing, voters forget the past and the cycle repeats. I mean come on, its not like the first time we've gone through this cycle. I remember the last time gold was $800 oz. Lost a lot of compound interest in the intervening quarter century and gained a lot of grey hair. Thankfully I had California real estate. - Patrick Tue, 05 Feb 2008 08:53:45 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-4440 Funny things here today I have read, always in motion is the future.

However, on a longer term basis I believe that man would rather exist in a more stable and structured world controlled more by the cortex where toil and sacrifice lead to a life worth living, if somewhat reduced in hedonistic pastimes...a little like the towns that sprung up in the old west with a small but nasty contingent of outlaws and probably 95% contributors. I think with a small band of armed friends in a masonry and steel (abandoned bank?)building and with a trove of gold and silver coinage or honest home made struck coins a "food bank" could be established utilizing a set trading regime of agreed upon values for food products...non perishable first, then other comestibles later as circumstances would allow (refrigeration,etc.). Wood,oil,rendered fats would also be tradeable. In this way money (no paper thank you) could begin to circulate and an economy begun. As tradesmen began to ply their skills they could buy at the store...later competition from another bank and so on...then you need a sherrif, then maybe a militia,....The only "central government" a gathering of chosen spokesmen once in a determined interval to talk over problems and to facilitate stability in the larger regional entity.

Once you start spending it, everyone in your neighborhood will know that you've got it. Who then will protect you from THEM? How will you protect yourself from the hundreds of people who'll be looking to grab your gelt? There aren't enough guns in the world, chux03. - Jimmy Montague Mon, 04 Feb 2008 13:13:47 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-4433 After all is said and done what will you do do when the lights finally wink out due to any of a plethora of reasons? Oil gone, power grid kaput, money worthless, without electricity...even a relatively short disruption ( 1 or 2 months) we go back to the 1850's and it's dirt,sweat and tears...not to mention rotting food. So....anybody out there got designs for a modern high efficiency steam engine or sterling engine both of which can be run on wood and which could power a 20 or 30 kw generator to run average home. Smaller versions could run stationary equipment like portable sawmill or log splitter etc. Oh yeah and maybe a steam powered Farmall Cadet to drag those logs...and don't forget to add extra chain saw blades and a sharpener to that doomsday list. If a tree falls in the forest and..well just harvest it. Wood smoke does not contain sulfur and it smells good(at least at first). Coulda, wooda, shoulda. - Fred Mon, 04 Feb 2008 12:37:10 +0100 http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/3311-trends-for-downsizing-the-us-the-bright-side-of-the-panic-of-08.html#comment-4432 i been tellin people this was going to happen for the past few years. john titor ftw!!! - RL Mesler Mon, 04 Feb 2008 06:32:18 +0100
