I've been mentally preparing for this day for a very long time. I was the investor in PMs when no one else wanted them (1999-2001). Having the best laugh (if not the last) isn't as sweet as I once thought due to what this represents.
I believe we're beyond the point of no return. It's that moment of recognition when you feel like you're plunging into a dark world and the hairs on the back of your neck begin to stand up. It's scary. Your first reaction is to protect those whom you love and care about. Next thoughts turn to survival.
My family and I are protected as best we can in body, mind and soul. I guess I always thought that my biggest enemy would be hyperinflation. That's still true, but there are other concerns in tandem with that. Those include the prostituting of the country I care so much about. Our resources are being given away to those who would rather stab us in the back instead of shaking our hand. Our elected officials clearly have their own agenda based in money and power instead of the will of the people.
What next? Slowly, the populus is beginning to realize something is wrong. One could argue that it's too little too late, but it's better than ignoring the cancer that's spreading across our land. Momentum is growing. People who have never been involved in politics are now rising up with strength they never knew they had.
I try to remain optomistic. Like most, I've taken my share of punches, but am still able to fight the good fight.
Hang tough. We'll prevail.
