Ron Paul's dire message to Americans.

All I know is that the ads on this thread page are for buying gold coins. Something must be up.

This is a Ron Paul thread. Fuck you and your Al Gore!

 

[disappoint]

So if he gets put on a heart monitor is that called an Al Gore Rhythm?

 

[MongGrel]

He has been saying the crap for two decades at what point is he simply wrong?

Well, actually corporations have been raping workers all ready for a couple decades like this so he does have a bit of a point.

I don't see it changing in the near future.

Gold is for people who can't afford printer ink and car insurance.

Except for jewellery I don't think there is that much gold out there to be taken.

.

There's more than you think. Gold and silver coins are common prepper items.

I never understood the obsession with gold. Unless you have physical control over it, it's still just a paper asset. And if you were in a SHTF scenario, where society collapses, I don't think a gold bar is going to be worth much (whereas food & water, security, transit, and shelter will command high premiums). Outside of its uses in making electronics, gold has no intrinsic worth. The worth people attribute to it is just like paper money - they have confidence that it can be used as money to buy other goods and services.

Agreed.

Do you really think the government is (in future) gonna spend the modern equivalent of five digits to SWAT team somebody's backyard just to dig out 10 gold coins? It's not cost effective at all. If it happens again at all, it will be like the 1930s--bank lock boxes and gold deposits at major financial institutions will be seized, as well as any international companies that trade in gold in the U.S will have their warehouses raided.

If it's needed, yes. Look at Canada's response to that huge ice storm a few years back; they confiscated hundreds if not thousands of private-owned generators for the common good. If the USA truly needed gold on an emergency basis, tracking down everyone who has purchased physical gold would be fairly easy.

Huh, mine are Bounty, NewEgg, Amazon and QuickBooks. Obviously the gold sellers know my bank balance. lol

Different year, same meme

Whenever I think of Ron, this comes to mind.
That's all.

Picked up on the wrong quote, but yes it's all about the yellow metal with zero calories.

exactly.

This is why I stock up on bottlecaps. All you bastards are going to be finding your way to the First Bank of zinfamous for your bottlecap loan as soon as you manage to claw your way out of the vault and into the wasteland.

I like Ron Paul, but the link in the OP reads like clickbait.

This. I had to talk my dad out of buying gold back when the economy was in a frenzy several years ago and metals were booming.

We rarely agree, but Gold is a conspiracy theory racket. Witness RP as barker- Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get your Gold to avoid financial armageddon!

"Like" Ron Paul? I like a few of the things he's said in that "even a blind squirrel finds a few acorns" sort of way.

 

[Blue_Max]

Hey, the more people buy gold - the higher the price goes. Those who own millions/billions in gold stocks benefit from the popular panic, then sell the assets "just in time" and sit pretty in their bunkers to ride out the storm.

 

[woolfe9998]

Ron Paul is the economic equivalent of Harold Camping. He's been predicting an economic apocalypse for decades now. I'm sure his followers will continue to take it seriously in perpetuity. Trust him, it's always imminent.

What have you got set for location on your phone? I think you had posted about this before, right? Do you connect through a proxy?

Didn't even know the site had ads, but then again I run Firefox + AdblockPlus + Disconnect so I don't have to deal with that BS
