this is actually a great point but needs to be looked at from a different angle. what i see is the need for countries to sell their assets, namely gold, to raise fiat to pay their obligations.
i was having a discussion with one of my subscribers from Spain the other day and he was saying how he thinks you'll soon be seeing the likes of Greece and Spain having to do the same thing to pay their debts.
We're really talking about the same thing, but forget just financial obligations. This is forced liquidation at a national level, beyond the financial factor. You can't eat gold, nor dollars, nor oil - but they can all be used to obtain or produce food. Once everything is sold, the gold owners will look like saints when they "benevolently" allow resources for the destroyed nations' survival.
Greece is already undergoing theft of its gold. Italy, Spain, Portugal and all the rest are in the process of being or will be looted as well. It's a concentration of the power base via gold by forcing weaker players to liquidate in order to survive. Any that don't submit will endure riots, starvation, and possibly self-destruction through civil war - at which point they will be too weak to prevent stronger ones from coming in and instituting globalist regimes.
Now for some rhetoric:
Imagine I am the financially weakened US (as in suffering from a terminal disease), and you're Italy. Wearing an IMF mask, I hold a gun to your head and tell you to give me your shoes. You refuse. I shoot you in the leg. I demand your shoes again. You refuse again. I shoot your other leg. I demand your shoes again. You still refuse. I shoot you in the shoulder. Now you're too injured to fight back in any way, so I take your shoes and get France to make sure you behave yourself while I move on to Spain.
By
knocking everyone else down to my level, they can't ignore me. Instead of dying alone of my advanced socialist disease, we're all in the same boat now and have to work together to survive. If any of them don't help, we all risk going down together. The western world has been reduced to mutually-assured destruction in an extremely frail state because of the aggressively destructive behaviours presented while America was still strong, rather than respectful cooperation and support with a vested interest in each others' well-being. This is the offer that cannot be refused instead of the desire to repay out of admiration and respect.
It's just like CIA methods of establishing friendly governments and leadership in South America, only on a much grander and more brazen scale. There's literally nothing anyone can do about it. The only things standing in the way are:
- Energy resource availability
- Distributed gold ownership
- China/BRIC resistance
- Decentralized technologies
