So, before the Weimar Republic started hyperinflating, one rich person started borrowing lots of money, and used it to buy factories and machine shops. Another bought farm land. Most rich people bought gold, or another nation's currencies. Moved their money to another jurisdiction like Switzerland.
And the rich have done the same thing each time. Those who buy assets that do not depreciate, and are essential, win, and those who do everything correct, invest in a well diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and mutual funds. These people get squashed. The thing is, when the govern-cement cannot continue payments of their debt (in a meaningful way), it is mathematical that a financial collapse is coming. And those paper assets all rely on the financial system staying together. And the normal middle class, who believes in things going the way they always have, has their life, and wealth, destroyed.
T.H.E.Y. are running the same collapse plan again. Will it work again?
Buying Farmland
When things collapse, food is very valuable. Having the means of food production can be very profitable.
And, if you look, you will find rich people buying farmland just before big crashes. And look what Gilly Bates just did. (and so many of his friends)
There is just one problem with this. What if the farmland stops producing yields. Well, that is what is about to happen.
America's farmland soil has been mined out. The soil has been depleted. It is growing less and less each year, and needs more chemical fertilizer to just maintain its downward spiral. And then! the ice-age hits. The depleted soil just doesn't have it in itself to grow crops when the summers get shorter and more brutal.
Those mother WEFers have a black thumb, and so do not realize that farmland is in the state its in. They are not farmers and do not what farmers know. Their farmland buying strategy is going to fail them, and they may die from trying.
Regenerative farming is the way to bring back farmlands from depletion. However, it takes real farmers, with real knowledge, and with real care of the soil to get it done. It is not a wrote formula.
And, if the average person sees a barren field, sees that these rich people own it, and they are feeling the pain of not quite full bellies, those people are going to get angry, and they are going to find those rich people…
Buying Gold
Everyone knows that gold has been money for 5000 years. Gold bugs say that all the time. (or did)
The young generation does not value gold as much as the boomer generation. And the rich may find that their pile of gold is worthless. Well, it will be worth that of a shiny, yellow, rock.
It will seem like the shift to gold, out of paper assets will be a good move, however, gold is going to abandoned as a monetary metal. It may even lose its status as a precious metal. There is a lot of gold. A LOT more than is reported as "all the gold in the world".
In the future, it will be as if everything turned against gold.
- The COMEX manipulation will be exposed.
- People will stop accepting paper gold
- Gold will be on the block chain, just to make sure that the gold is real, and not paper, and not ghost (on two books at the same time.) Gold is not rare enough by itself. It will need the block chain to guarantee itself.
- International shipment will become hazardous for a time. And no one will believe the gold repositories. It will become almost impossible to settle debts with gold
- The bad people seem to be the ones who own lots of gold. Many places will stop accepting gold for payment/trade.
- And then, someone works out how to mine gold with a boombox Just vibrate out the quantity of gold you want straight from the ground.
Gold, may, once again be used to make non-stick, hypoallergenic cookware.
In the end, gold loses is precious status, and its use as money is just dropped.
So, the rich are going to move much of their wealth into gold, only to find it isn't valuable (or, isn't AS valuable) anymore.
Basically, everything that was uses to bridge across financial collapses is no longer going to work. What is considered valuable massively changes. What is an asset is changed.
Further, the idea of what in asset is useful for changes. If people all move to join a tribe, and they all grow their own food, build their own houses, then what happens to money? It just isn't as valuable/important. When people are mostly self sufficient, there is no need to enslave yourself to get money, just to live.
The assets of old just stop being valuable. The new assets will be an entirely different class. The banksters trying to make more wealth by performing their old play book will find themselves on the outs, hunted down for destroying people's lives.
So, watch for these shifts. Watch for the new assets, and the new meanings for the word "asset"
