So practically speaking, in order for my family to get past this slow but certain train wreck, I will have to move all my investments (except for checking account money) out of dollar denominated assets. So I could invest in foreign stocks (i.e. Asia and maybe Africa / India) as well as buy gold and silver. I have been told by numerous peppers that the things we take for granted will have value once the SHTF. Stuff like toilet paper, paper towels, bullets, food (gardening is a must), water, etc. I agree with you that we are seeing the Great Reset unfold before our eyes. The elite knows that they cannot continue the charade with the Federal Reserve; the monetary systems in the world are in a slow collapse. I just feel so helpless in the midst of it all. What is worse is our generation is spoiled and we do not have the self-determination and spirit to make it through a Great Depression like 1929. Thanks Russell for speaking truth however hard it is to read and process it all!
Practically speaking, I have been telling everyone I know to buy physical gold as a hedge against currency collapse, which is an inevitable biproduct of price inflation, which is itself a function of currency creation (money printing). I believe in times of crisis that it is more important to preserve wealth than to try to speculate to create more of it. Physical metals are insurance for wealth protection, nothing more. They preserve buying power, or rather have for 5000 years, until Wall Street and the US government embarked on their propaganda campaign in 1971 to convince everyone that they were useless relics (that central banks just happened to hoard). I believe we are entering a reset period, and historically, any new alternative reserve currency is going to have to start out being backed by real, hard assets, not hot air and a printing press. In that scenario, metals will be protection. You can either plan for the worst case and be wrong if you're lucky, or be right and have planned for it. If you look at stories of folks who survived cataclysm, it all comes down to mental attitude. If you take responsibility for your actions and your future, you are in a better place than if you are feeling helpless. I would make a list of all the things you can do to prepare, and start doing them. That puts you in charge of what you can affect, rather than waiting for the bad man to sneak into your room at night.
Most who die in the wilderness die due to confusion or loss of will to survive, not starvation or dehydration or bear attacks or whatnot. There's an important lesson in that.
Of course, if we’re all locked down in our homes in the future (ostensibly due to some future Covid or monkeypox variant), we won’t have any means of physically trading that physical gold.
These sociopaths have every i dotted and every t crossed.
No, I don't plan to just sit back and take it. As an example, I wasn't going into grocery stores with a mask on these past 2 years. But, outrageously, most times I was the only person in the grocery store without a mask. So who am I going to trade physical gold with, in the dystopian locked-down future that they have planned for us? There will hardly be anyone to trade with.
So I'm not suggesting that we shouldn't resist. But I am suggesting that there's too few of us resisters.
I see your point but I think where we are not connecting is just how this "trade" is going to work. In this potential dystopian future that we have before us, basic human needs are still going to be there. Travel (to a place that has more food, Food, Water, essentials, bullets, etc. Even during lockdown and when people are wearing face diapers, the essentials are still going to be needed. I do not think there will be any problem buying, selling, bartering, you name it.

And you plan to just sit back and take it?
No pushback?
No questioning the narrative?
Ever heard of civil disobedience?
After all that has happened, there is NO way I would agree to any lockdown under any circumstance.
Nor should you or anyone else.

I had no problem buying gold from my dealers during the lockdowns, here in mexico.

Thanks for the Pep Talk! First order of business....buy more gold!
Elvis is dead?
I will NOT be giving up drinking any time soon!
Best thing I’ve heard over the past two years.
