I wish I could remember the name of one of the present White House secretary or under-secretary of something or another (I tried to find his name but couldn't) who, when asked about the best investment for these unstable times, replied "spam." If I remember correctly, this guy was an asian man, maybe Japanese-American, who also held a Nobel prize. He was half-joking but maybe your idea is not so far off base. LOL.
The best argument I've heard against this New World Order stuff is that which suggests how hard it is to get any group of people to agree on anything (like "herding cats" comes to mind).
However, since I have such a skeptical distaste for everything that's going on in our political/corporate/lobbyist/special interests amalgum, I wouldn't doubt that there are groups who are trying to do something like that. But, again, herding cats? Getting agreement on anything? People working together? I'm skeptical.
On the other hand, also, how many US citizens understand that the IRS is basically a privately owned corporation who collects taxes (for which we've been taxed) and then loans it to our government, making interest on it, which we, the tax payers pay (twice, at least). Since this little scheme operates without challenge in our own government under our own noses, it would be hard to put anything past any group who has enough money and power.
And on an even further hand, it would seem that we might look for these villians in our special interests groups who run our own government essentially, (on both sides of the aisle and out into fringies) and cut them off at the knees. Then, maybe, we can go looking for bigger fish. The Koch brothers come to mind.
Anyhow, those are my thoughts.

When I first started reading it I simply thought that you'd taken one too many blows to the head, but upon further reflection it now seems to be an all too viable possibility.
I've therefore decided to cash out all my retirement savings (stupidly invested in soon-to-be-worthless municipal bonds if you're correct) and to buy a warehouse and fill it to the roof with cans of baked beans, jars of peanut butter, powdered milk and beef jerky). Laugh at me all you want you foolish unbelievers, but when the currency train hits the proverbial fan, I shall be richer that Billy Gates and Warren Buffet combined...; - )
Thanks for the heads up, Kelley, and I'll be sure to throw a case or two of free baked beans your way when that fateful day arrives!

Well, Spam probably wouldn't be too tasty when eaten cold because the electricity/gas is (permanently?) shut off due to the (coming) worthlessness of our once-almighty dollar. So for those who are unable to pay their $2,000,000 a week electric bill, it might be wiser to stockpile peanut butter. Lots and lots of peanut butter. Other folks (those with peanut allergies), would be wise to stock up on all kinds of crackers. Lots and lots of crackers. They would then be in the (enviable) position of naming their own price from the peanut butter stockpilers- who would, in time, become quite desperate to have crackers on which to spread their "Skippy" (or "Jiffy"- as the case may be).
And so the Brave New World Order would be composed of the peanut butter Tribe and the cracker Tribe- constantly at war with one another over their respective spoils and the value/distribution thereof.
Not a pretty prospect, but not nearly as sad as the rest of humanity, who would all have perished trying to subsist on their silver and/or gold ingots/coins, or else making salad out of their greenbacks (or Euros, as the case may be)...

Hi folks,
I read an interesting book recently by British Author David Icke on this very subject. Although some of his theories are a little wild for some peoples tastes he makes some great points, urging mankind to wake up and find consciousness in order to fight back. A fitting message for hypnotherapists.... On youtube you can watch the 'Zeitgeist' films for free and they are also very interesting and on the same topic.
thanks
