Hidden plans for your "money"?

Gold and your paper money.

Excellent article here...

It looks as though the US strategy in this
transcontinental currency battle is to give the
euro's masters what they want - except way too
much of it, way too quickly - in order to
overload the euro system and make it collapse.

...

The European Central Bank (ECB) was instituted
by the euro's creators to preside over an orderly
transition away from a dollar-dependent world to
a more versatile arrangement wherein the euro
fulfills a quasi-reserve function that will
eventually give way to gold being the ultimate
international currency reserve, with all the
fiats freely floating against gold instead of
against each other.

Interesting idea but rather unbelievable as
governments like to control everything from
people to currency. How will they control gold?

When they no longer have control of their currency
(because gold will then be the leader) they will
be entirely obsolete, rather than almost obsolete.

Sounds like the ECB wrote their suicide note here.

Think about it.

But the road there is a long and winding one,
and not even all of those currently "in charge"
(international central bankers) are fully aware
that this is the ultimate goal. Rather, that
unstated goal was wrapped up implicitly in the
ECB's role of guaranteeing price stability,
rather than using interest rates to jump-start an
otherwise faltering economy as the Federal
Reserve Board does in the United States.

"Price stability" means that the currency is
intentionally not used as a means for gunning
Euroland's economic engines. This goal is
designed as a precaution to avoid the excesses
caused by overprinting, which has been the United
States' main tool for papering over any possible
recession, or even looming depressions - so far.

...

The lower the US lets its currency fall, [I've
said it here before: "...as if they had a choice."
-jo ]the more temptation the Asians feel to dump
their US debt holdings, as they see their US "assets"
depreciate with every tick lower by the dollar on
its journey into forex "Hades". At some point,
this temptation will become overwhelming.

And I've already said that a number of times here.

...

No matter which way this battle turns out, if
you put a good portion of your assets in gold,
you can afford to sit on the sidelines and simply
"watch the game". Whoever wins or loses, you will
be safe from the carnage on the playing field.
While the euro's rise against the dollar
certainly gives US gold investors a boost, even a
total collapse of the euro system will be good
for gold.

In that case and assuming no other 'gold backed'
currency shows up, gold and/or silver would be the
only other option.
