If there is one thing about which you can be certain concerning cash held on deposit it is that the government of your country has plans to steal it. The bankers new motto: “What’s yours is ours.” As such, the plan for 2014 should be to buy and hold even more gold and silver and reduce your exposure to cash held in any bank to just enough to cover week by week expenses. Keep the rest of your cash at home, under the mattress, in a safe, buried in the backyard, anywhere but in a bank. Bottom line: Bankers can and will steal your cash, but there is no way they can take your personally owned and personally held gold and silver.
So says Michael Noonan (edgetraderplus.com) in edited excerpts from his original article* entitled Gold And Silver – Bankers Can [Will] Steal Your Cash But Cannot Touch Your Gold/Silver.

Noonan goes on to say in further edited excerpts:
ANYONE who keeps money in any banking system in the Western world is sending an RSVP to bankers to access their funds, and they will not disappoint. The blowback from the confiscation of Cyprus banking accounts was not much, really. Financial shock and awe, to be sure, but just like every other banker-created scam, there are no real consequences. The elites carefully monitored world response and learned one thing:
“more of the same, in some fashion or similar form, will work and we (the bankers) will get away with it.”

Another example: Read this excerpt from the IMF October publication “Taxing Times” which states on page 49 of a report entitled A One Off Capital Levy:
“The sharp deterioration of the public finances in many countries has revived interest in a “capital levy”— a one-off tax on private wealth—as an exceptional measure to restore debt sustainability. The appeal is that such a tax, if it is implemented before avoidance is possible, and there is a belief that it will never be repeated, does not distort behavior (and may be seen by some as fair).”
The cunning and planning goes on behind closed doors on an ongoing basis. Then there was this article from Reuters entitled EU Executive See Personal Savings Used To Plug Gap which says, in part:
“the savings of the European Union’s 500 million citizens could be used to fund long-term investments to boost the economy and help plug the gap left by banks since the financial crisis”
In other words, all of the trillions of $$$ used to prop up every single insolvent bank in the Western world has failed to boost any economy, and the reason why it has failed is because the bankers are keeping the money for themselves, not lending it out. Every economy is being starved of capital.
The solution the document goes on to say is that: “The Commission will ask the bloc’s insurance watchdog in the second half of this year for advice on a possible draft law to mobilize more personal pension savings for long-term financing”
Doesn’t that sound economically viable?! It is EU doublespeak: to mobilize more personal savings, in normal words means “confiscate,” or more to the point, “steal.” The central planners never stop planning, and your savings and deposits are in their crosshairs.
The bankers are not stopping there, however. The ultimate goal? All pensions, IRAs, 401ks, whatever form your retirement funds are in will be switched, for your own good, of course, to the safety and guaranteed security of government bonds. You will be assured of a few percentage points of interest. What, 1, 2, 3 percent? With inflation running at 8 to 10 percent, minimum, at least in the real world? Such a deal.
Obama has introduced the MyRA account, and just like Obamacare, it is for the “benefit” of the public good. It is the prelude for eventually taking over the country’s entire pension programs, taking over all the accounts, (stealing your lifetime savings), and exchanging them for the US Treasury Bonds the Fed cannot sell to countries anymore. This is the only way the US government can cover its trillion $ (and growing) deficit spending.

What is wrong with this picture? Who elected the bankers? Who elected the EU members that run Europe like their own ATM? They all are empowered by the elite shadow rulers. What is worse, people are not rebelling. Instead, all acquiesce to the whims of the central bankers. “All” is close but not quite accurate. There are the relatively few who own and hold silver and gold, immune, to that extent, from the theft of banking funds/pension funds/ mutual funds/corporate and government bonds, any form of paper thought to have value.
Rest assured that those who impose (steal) “special situations” are exempt themselves. All of your hard-earned money and life savings are needed to prop up the insolvent banks, pay for all the banker bonuses and lavish lifestyles, because the bankers will never be held accountable to the financial problems they created, and you must now pay for their mistakes for no bankers are ever held accountable, just you and your neighbors.

Conclusion
The choice is simple: paper or hard assets and from what we can determine, financially smart people own, and personally hold, and continue to buy gold and silver, the most durable “wealth” preserver of all. Owning gold or silver ETFs or futures are paper and not a claim on the physical. Accept no substitutes….Everyone should be buying physical gold and silver as often as possible, and price is not the most important issue, owning it is….
A side note: The past two weeks have been the best for gold in several months. We maintain the belief, however, that extraordinarily higher prices for gold and silver are not going to happen, in the near term. Maybe sometime in 2014, it is too soon to tell. What is more important are the events like those discussed above that are setting the stage for eventual higher prices.
What should be of primary concern for buyers of the physical is the availability. It may not always be readily available, as it is now, and that should be a driving motivation for their acquisition. For those who already own PMs, particularly at higher prices, do not fret. Their value will go back to levels paid, and much higher. Just be patient. It is short- sighted to measure one’s holdings based on price as opposed to the reason for buying them in the first place.
If you do not complain about paying for car or house insurance that does not get used, why complain about PM holdings from higher prices? Stay focused. Events are unfolding in an alarming manner, and people should be very worried about what is going to happen. Look at Cyprus, Greece, Venezuela, Ukraine to get an idea of how ugly things can, and will get.

Please ask yourself this one question:
If it got much harder to withdraw your money from your Bank(s), what would you do?
Discussion:
Nobody likes to get caught “short” (pun intended on several levels)!
Other Countries have limited what account holders can withdraw for any number of reasons, and it could happen to you unless you already have some plan in effect to prevent all your assets being tied up for a unknown length of time by your bank(s). Those that own physical PM have taken an important step to protect at least a portion of their portfolio and so should you unless you have some other better plan in which to rely upon.
Good Luck.
