I have a question: When the various Governments and their Central Bank cronies in this interconnected world of Banking, i.e, the IMF, BIS, and the Banksters, etc, etc, decide,— enough is enough,–and decide to steal (as President Roosevelt did in 1934) by confiscating the Gold possessions of its Citizens and will ALL those Gold depositors i.e, the sheeple bend over backwards to comply again?
Will there be any country that will NOT co-operate? i.e, we are seeing the loss of Sovereignty in countries (like lets say Switzerland) giving up it’s depositors in compliance with USA fiscal and taxation demands, even today.
Or is there a PLAN of opposition to what I am certain is coming, but that I am not aware of?
Where is there REAL protection short of my drainpipe?
Gold and Silver not only will recover but “take off” as investor get caught blind sighted as the US$ and others begin to lose their shine due to Central Bank juggling!
