Yes, the larger population (of the west) has been brainwashed. This is the mentality of the west. I just barely escaped it. But it's not the mentality of the east, and the west is being taken to the woodshed in this. TPTB may think they are controlling things, but what they are doing is supporting the greatest migration of wealth transfer the world has seen, from the west to the east, as India and China buy gold and silver at a rate like there is no tomorrow.

68,
you're onto something WAY larger, than any of us "stacking".........I didn't mean to insult you by not quoting the rest of your post, ie, your worldview as far as finances go, but I read a translation the other day, of an op-ed, written in an "official" Chinese newspaper, and within it, the "author" just planted the SEED of war, that's why i'm "burying" it in this thread....basically what the author called for was a NEW global reserve currency...a "de-Americanization" of the world.
that's what got Quaddafi killed, he had renounced tearawritism, handed over all his "bad weapons", BUT he had been calling for a gold backed African dinar, and that was his signature on his death warrant. But China is not Libya, and in certain circles, thems fighting words.
this is from Xinhua: (and believe me, this writer isn't some crazy loose cannonball, he HAD to have had official leave to pen what you're about to read...read it carefully, it is a CLEAR warning/threat, and that's exactly how these cornered sociopaths, we call "our leaders" are going to take it...as a threat, and will respond accordingly....not today, nor tomorrow, but sometime in the future, near or far...relations with China will deteriorate. Timing?...I dunno, BUT, what i'm about about to paste is the SEED ...of war, being planted. forget all this other "news"...shutdowns, defaults, Wal-Marts besieged by EBT cardholders, Miley Cyrus.....THIS OP-ED, right here, dated 13 Oct....remember this. These boys in China just bought 2,000 tonnes of gold in the past two years, and Ron Paul is treated like the nutty grandfather for demanding an audit of OUR gold holdings....its sad and tragic, the faded glory of our beloved country, which I love, and you love.)
Commentary: U.S. fiscal failure warrants a de-Americanized worldBy Xinhua writer Liu Chang
BEIJING, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- As U.S. politicians of both political parties are still shuffling back and forth between the White House and the Capitol Hill without striking a viable deal to bring normality to the body politic they brag about, it is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanized world.
Emerging from the bloodshed of the Second World War as the world's most powerful nation, the United States has since then been trying to build a global empire by imposing a postwar world order, fueling recovery in Europe, and encouraging regime-change in nations that it deems hardly Washington-friendly.
With its seemingly unrivaled economic and military might, the United States has declared that it has vital national interests to protect in nearly every corner of the globe, and been habituated to meddling in the business of other countries and regions far away from its shores.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government has gone to all lengths to appear before the world as the one that claims the moral high ground, yet covertly doing things that are as audacious as torturing prisoners of war, slaying civilians in drone attacks, and spying on world leaders.
Under what is known as the Pax-Americana, we fail to see a world where the United States is helping to defuse violence and conflicts, reduce poor and displaced population, and bring about real, lasting peace.
Moreover, instead of honoring its duties as a responsible leading power, a self-serving Washington has abused its superpower status and introduced even more chaos into the world by shifting financial risks overseas, instigating regional tensions amid territorial disputes, and fighting unwarranted wars under the cover of outright lies.
As a result, the world is still crawling its way out of an economic disaster thanks to the voracious Wall Street elites, while bombings and killings have become virtually daily routines in Iraq years after Washington claimed it has liberated its people from tyrannical rule.
Most recently, the cyclical stagnation in Washington for a viable bipartisan solution over a federal budget and an approval for raising debt ceiling has again left many nations' tremendous dollar assets in jeopardy and the international community highly agonized.
Such alarming days when the destinies of others are in the hands of a hypocritical nation have to be terminated, and a new world order should be put in place, according to which all nations, big or small, poor or rich, can have their key interests respected and protected on an equal footing.
To that end, several corner stones should be laid to underpin a de-Americanized world.
For starters, all nations need to hew to the basic principles of the international law, including respect for sovereignty, and keeping hands off domestic affairs of others.
Furthermore, the authority of the United Nations in handling global hotspot issues has to be recognized. That means no one has the right to wage any form of military action against others without a UN mandate.
Apart from that, the world's financial system also has to embrace some substantial reforms.
The developing and emerging market economies need to have more say in major international financial institutions including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, so that they could better reflect the transformations of the global economic and political landscape.
What may also be included as a key part of an effective reform is the introduction of a new international reserve currency that is to be created to replace the dominant U.S. dollar, so that the international community could permanently stay away from the spillover of the intensifying domestic political turmoil in the United States.
Of course, the purpose of promoting these changes is not to completely toss the United States aside, which is also impossible. Rather, it is to encourage Washington to play a much more constructive role in addressing global affairs.
And among all options, it is suggested that the beltway politicians first begin with ending the pernicious impasse."

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-10-1 ... e-currencyNow, what this guy says, if we're to be REAL with ourselves, isn't that far from the truth. I'm not wild about the Peoples Republic of China, they are NOT paragons of "freedom and Liberty, plus the PLA in Korea, killed TOO many good American boys, who DID turn back communist aggression, allowing South Korea to show the world, what FREE dynamic capitalism can do for a country, as opposed to the current "crony capitalism", we live under. I've always been proud of my small role as one of the guys who manned that line in Korea....it was one of the few post world war two US interventions, that was for the good.....so there it is....and the sad thing is, IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS. personally ?.....i'm heartbroken, I love America, I feel betrayed....more so now, that 22 November draws near. 50 years ago, that FINAL bullet, captured ON FILM by Abe Zapruder, which the coup plotters DID NOT factor in, to their wicked intentions, and so horrifically underlined the death of the Republic, underlined the WARNING that Ike spoke to us on his last Presidential address ...was the beginning of end, and we're all just riding the long slow descent, seemingly powerless to arrest the slide, where we have to endure the indignity of a COMMUNIST Chinese op-ed writer, speaking some truth, mingled with a threat and warning. God save the Republic, is my only hope.
