Gold Coins Are in Short Supply, So Why Doesn't Their Price Rise?

Good article!
You needn't remove your gold to a place where it is 'outside their jurisdiction'... keep it with you. Nobody has to wait for the dollar to collapse utterly before they bust out their gold and silver. I live in a sparsely populated county in upstate NY (there are good trout here, too!) and many of us have chosen to go ahead and start using metals as trade material... it can work in conjunction with FRN's or anything else. The metals are easy to liquidate if you need to pay bills or your mortgage... there is always someone local who will trade with you (or there is ebay if you have to use it) Even on a small scale, it is a great way to soften the blow of the econo-monster. We all need to start now -on any scale- to put the necessary structures in place, so that when the dollar goes, we can at least continue to work and earn locally.

Nation's Debt: It's Not Being Rescued, It's Being Moved Around

THERE IT IS!!!!! It took a while... as I was reading on and on through this, I kept saying to myself, "Didn't anybody hear Ron Paul?!" I'm sure glad y'all got to that.

What Effect Will Hyperinflation Have?

Inflation, 'hyper' or not... Americans are simply far too apathetic to survive that sort of situation without going totally ape. Gas goes to $4.50 per gallon and folks are tapping tanks of parked cars. The dollar loses a bit of its purchasing power, the copper and steel prices go up slightly, and now we have to chain down every hunk of metal in any form and stand guard over junkyards so metal thieves won't run off with all our spare parts. Fact is, it won't take much to turn this country into a free-for-all. Americans are not strong and industrious anymore... mostly we are weak and sneaky opportunists who want something for free. We got through the great depression because people had not, by that time, lost all of their ability to take care of themselves... if that were to happen now, you wouldn't be able to walk down the street with a bag of groceries. I just don't have too much faith in our general population. Sorry to be such a downer.
