Gold, Cigarettes, Kilowatt Hours, and the U.S. Dollar

Well,

Kilowatt Cards--> www.kilowattcards.com/...

Carbon Coins--> www.sccbank.com/

Digital Gold Currency--> www.goldmoney.com

Community Currency--> www.berkshares.org

On a global scale your article is 100% accurate at this time. On a local scale, many people are already moving to dollar alternatives. How long will it take the local ideas to grow into national ideas?

Reserve Currency Talk: Inequity Written All over It

Well that is sort of correct but NOW, today, they are buying commodities and not Treasuries. That's right copper, zinc, gold etc. They can't shake the dollar, you are correct but they don't have to sink anything additional into US Debt, that much they have made clear.

The WSJ Is Right - U.S. Should Return to a Gold Standard

This move back to real money has already started and it will move from the bottom up, community by community, state by state.
www.indianahonestmoney...
it's also pending in Colorado, getting ready to be filed in Ohio and there are 3-4 other states with similar legislation including Washington State.
This is a movement by people not governments, the federal reserve..opps I mean the federal government would never make this change again. From the bottom up.

The U.S. Treasury's Golden Shell Game

Nice easy to read and understand article. I think GATA.org has been working on this one for some years now with very little success. Not sure I even want to 'know' what the reality is, but it appears sometime soon, if they revalue that gold up to market prices...they will have to show the current audit. Personally I think the Bush cronies have cooked the books to pay for their middle east aggression and that most of these ponzi-shell-games will be exposed in the next 4 years.
Good article.

Enlightening the Gold Bugs

Wow....that's all I can say (insert sarcasm) you have opened my eyes. Tomorrow I'll gather up my gold dinars, maple leafs and eagles, plus the three kilos in my briefcase and waddle on down to the local pawnshop where if I'm lucky they will still be buying gold for dollars....is that what you are saying is smart for me to do? Should we also sell out of all our digital gold bullion holdings? Lucky me I read your post before I made that mistake of holding all that gold. Ok so from tomorrow forward I'll just hold on to my little green pieces of paper and wish for the best. Sh*t son, wake up, paper is poverty.

Gold: Protect Yourself from Future Inflation

Excellent example. I enjoyed your logic very much but don't forget when you buy gold, as you suggest, to own actual gold bullion, not some paper representation of gold like an ETF.

Bailouts Will Soon Drive the Currency Markets

Digital gold, or allocated bullion, is a safe way and very convenient. Companies like GoldMoney.com or Bullionvault.com work great along with some coins and locally bought gold.
