  1. Jim -- Thanks for your input -- I understand your thoughts completely and  agree --   The 1%   owns  50 % of the wealth now and that is predicted to rise -  and we know if we follow the money   we find those that control --  changing that scenario -- changing that from the  inside out -- is highly unlikely  IMHO --- things have gone much  too far for too long --  

     

    You mentioned debt --  it is shocking to read that kids are over their heads in debt before they even begin their careers -  They start out poorer than their parents --  working hard   to just thrive  -  I dont see the debt  our government has  ever being  paid down to a decent amount -  they just keep raising their  budget ceiling  -- I don't see the "system" changing  --  do you think it possible?

     

    The only thing we can do is to safeguard ourselves -- that is where I am  turning my focus -  I read a lot about off shore banking   but  that does feel risky to a degree as well -- It may be just a mind thing - but not being easily, physically" accessible, is still uncomfortable --   Maybe the thought process could be adjusted a little about the banks --  If they so choose to keep  or freeze my funds - being 1 mile away  as opposed to 2000 miles wouldn't really make any difference would it?  -- lol --

  2. Temperment5 -- thanks for your input -- both of those names are new to me -- I will make note -- I have ordered a couple  and I am reading something somewhere all day long everyday -- there is, just like you said, so much info out there available for those who do  want to get more educated  & informed -- I just wish I could have started that process in economics about 20 yrs ago lol 

  3. Texstorm -- Hey I read about that  1-45 incident --    Thanks for sharing your thoughts -- I kinda knew where you stood as I have read your comments on other posts --  Hoping some others will  add to the thread -- a lot is happening  and all over --   it is like a huge Chess game with multiple players - they are all making their "moves" and they can & do have  the potential to put another in a "check" position --   Power Plays  -- So  who is  really winning here?

     

    It also  feels like playing  Russian Roulette  -- Almost everyone and everything  is affected by the  money  and / or the trade-able "goods" --  It seems no one is playing nice anymore -- so I was just wondering what others felt could possibly happen   and what they felt most likely would happen --  -- If that is even possible to know -  since everything has a domino or ripple  effect on something else -   There just may be too many factors and scenarios for any of us to know  and  be able to prepare for -  

     

    I am definitely feeling somewhat confused about how to protect my finances  and I do not have a lot of trust in the banks -- I will admit that every now &  then feeling  a little dishearten about an RV  with all the  turmoil all around us -- 

     

    I  can see why it did not happen 6 yrs ago when I first bought into the idea - but  I do feel some good chances did bypass us since then -   Now it seems the most hoped for  but maybe the most unlikely or worst conditions for it to happen --  I hear and read all day long both strong pro & con opinions  -- Nothing as of yet has influenced me to sell out -  I am still positive and hoping --   UNEEK

  4. I would really appreciate some feed back from the members here on this article -- Your breakdown in layman's terms of what is stated and then your educated opinion  - What does it all mean exactly and what "could" happen  --  I know it is a lot to read - but how else are you going to ever know anything if you don't read???  Thanks  in advance for those that are willing to read and comment  -- UNEEK 

     

     

    THE RESET HAS ALREADY BEGUN!    Author : Bill Holter

    Published: January 19th, 2015

     

    For several years there has been talk of a financial and economic “re set” coming, this is no longer speculation as the reset has already begun!  The Swiss have suppressed the price of their currency, the franc, since late 2011.  They pegged the franc versus the euro with a “floor” versus the euro at 1.20. 

     

    After confirming this floor publicly on Monday, they abandoned it Thursday only to see the euro depreciate through the par level.  What you saw on Thursday and Friday was the work of Mother Nature as the Swiss decided they would be better served by no longer battling her.

     

    The ramifications of this move by the Swiss are almost infinite when you consider the chain reactions they have now started.  Several large FOREX firms including the largest retail firm in the U.S., FXCM, were rendered bankrupt overnight.  Even Goldman Sachs and Citi admitted to being offside and sustained large losses.  As of right now, we have no idea who “won” and who “lost”, nor do we know “how much?” 

     

    We heard almost nothing from Swiss or European banks on Friday, “who what and how much?” will begin to surface this coming week.  As I have written for years now, if the loser goes bankrupt, the winner does not get paid…thus turning the winner into a loser.  This is a very big problem the markets ignored on Friday but will not be able to ignore as the dead bodies begin to surface.

     

    Think about this point very seriously, many investors (and firms) went to bed Wednesday evening with no stress at all on their portfolios (or their business), in just five minutes Thursday morning they were insolvent.  Just FIVE MINUTES!  We are only talking about “investments” here, how many other real businesses in the import and export area are now broke? 

     

    Broke because they hold euros but need francs or they export from Switzerland or import to Europe and now their business model makes no sense?  How is this even possible in just five minutes time?

     

    Another aspect to what and how the Swiss moved on Thursday is that of “central banks” themselves.  Did the Swiss not know they were going to float the franc on Monday when they confirmed the peg publicly? 

     

    Did they or did they not inform the IMF prior their actions?  What about the BIS which is headquartered within their borders in Basel, surely they tipped them off?  Christine LaGarde claimed in an interview with CNBC that she had no prior notice, really?

     

     If this is true then it shows the Swiss central bank has moved in an “every man for himself” type of action.  It also shows the “united front” of central banks is not so “united” anymore!  If Ms. LaGarde is not telling the truth and in fact the IMF did have prior knowledge, what would this mean?

     

     It would mean the central banks are finally losing control of the rig.  It would also mean the central banks have distorted currencies, interest rates etc. so badly that once Mother Nature takes over, we can expect repeat performances all over the world and amongst all assets and currencies.  How can I say this?

     

     I would simply ask if it is “normal” for two trading currencies to revalue 30% in five minutes or if it is not normal, what was the cause?  We of course know, the cause was the actions of the ECB and SNB over these last three+ years.

     

    We have already speculated the Swiss made this move for one of two reasons.  First, they may have decided the amount of euros necessary to purchase (and thus the amount of francs created) will go exponential this coming week when the ECB goes full on QE (printing). 

     

    We also know that euros already make up more than half of their balance sheet.  The other possibility is they know the Greek election is coming up, (the Greek banks are already experiencing bank runs) and they see the very real possibility of the Eurozone fracturing or even dissolving. 

     

    Another possibility is maybe they just decided “their first loss is their best loss”?  Maybe they have watched as the core of Europe has asked for their gold back and understand that “trust” amongst central bankers is waning? 

     

    Maybe they simply decided to front run the obvious and necessary re set and do it on their own terms?  It is very hard to say what exactly the motivation was, the important thing to understand is their action has started a re set in motion which will not be stopped!  In plain English, the Swiss just yelled FIRE …while standing in the exit!

     

    I have several other questions but first I want to point out the obvious.  Oil was cut in more than half in dollars over 6 months, could you say the price of oil was “re set”?  How about copper?  How about other foreign currencies?  Could the huge moves in so many assets qualify as being “re set”? 

     

    The collapse in oil and copper prices are black swans pointing to a rapidly slowing global economy.  The Swiss removing their currency peg is another black swan event and in reaction to the ECB moving toward hyperinflating their currency.

     

    My biggest question now is this, what will happen when China allows their currency to float?  The Swiss are one thing, China is whole different story!  Think of the ramifications when it comes to trade? 

     

    Another, maybe even more important question is what will happen when the Chinese “force” the price of gold and silver to trade freely?  Let me explain this further.  The Chinese know full well that gold IS money, otherwise they would not have spent the last several years buying almost every single ounce that came from the ground.  They know it is artificially priced by New York and London. 

     

    They can “float” gold in several manners.  First, they can simply bust the COMEX and LBMA by bidding for and purchasing both their entire inventories within a 24 hour window.  Another possibility would be to simply put out a “global bid” and state some price (much higher than current) they are willing to buy any and all gold, presto, COMEX and LBMA would be busted without them doing it directly!

     

    I recently wrote of a “Global Margin Call” where because oil and other assets, currencies, etc. have moved so rapidly, many derivatives traders have surely been thrown “offside”.  This move by the Swiss is nothing different except it was done “officially”. 

     

    Actually, the funny thing is they moved to suspend what they were “officially” (and artificially!) doing.  The move by the Swiss has only made the global margin call that much bigger!  The global re set which was already in the works is now publicly and officially happening before your very eyes. 

     

    You can close your eyes or not believe this fact, it will not make it go away, nor will it insulate you financially from what is coming.

     

    To finish, and I plan to follow up maybe even tomorrow, the most important re set will be that of gold and silver prices.  I say “most important” because these are the only “tools” available to you as an individual to protect your wealth. 

     

    If the Swiss franc and the euro can change in value by 30% within five minutes, what do you think the revaluation of gold and silver will be when the 100 ounces of “paper metal” come looking for the real thing?  At what price will the market clear?  Add a zero?  Two zero’s?

     

     Please understand this, when the margin call is issued worldwide, there is only one money where the call will work in reverse, precious metals.  The “call” will be for real, yet non existent metal. 

     

    Gold had already sniffed this margin call and re set out a couple of months ago.  No matter how much paper was thrown at it, it simply stopped going down.  Even while the dollar strengthened synthetically, gold went higher versus the dollar. 

    Gold has clearly been THE best money, what do you think will happen to real metal when it turns out that 99% of the supposed global supply is proven as counterfeit?

     

    We will soon witness the greatest margin call in all of history.  We will also witness the greatest transfer of wealth and re set in all of history!  My only question is whether what so far has been “rolling re sets” becomes an official market/bank/finance closure and announced …or, do the markets continue to trade and force re sets in market after market.

     

    As an additional note, we have one last question to ponder which may or may not be connected.  Koos Jansen put forth a “mystery guest’s” theory that the Swiss went short gold in Sept. 2011 which marked the top in gold.  He asks in the following link, “did Switzerland just cover their short“?

     

    https://www.bullionstar.com/blog/koos-jansen/guest-post-i-have-a-theory-on-the-swiss-franc/

     

    I believe there may be some credence to this theory but would go one step further.  Zerohedge asks the question and speculates Japan may be the next “Switzerland” and pull the plug on Abenomics. 

     

    Personally I see it a little differently, more importantly, what if the Chinese were to react to the coming QE4 by doing two things?  What if China just walked away and sold their dollar holdings …and at the same time revoked their current peg of the yuan to the dollar? 

     

    Will China some day ratio back their yuan with gold?  I think this is likely.  Would the dollar collapse 30%  like the euro just did versus the franc or will the re set be much larger? 

     

    Of course the next question would be “how high would gold be marked up”?  An unpegging of the yuan by China would be more important and (current) system ending than nearly anything else I can imagine.  For China to break their peg, the paper short positions in gold and silver would finally be exposed for what they are, counterfeits!

  5. Well well --- they keep getting better -- lol  --   the thing with the shipping containers is that I have seen 2 & 3 used together --   It boils down to individual choices to meet individual desires -   its nice to have options and to know the pros & cons

    Hey -- the gallery pics on these were very impressive -- but still maybe a bit small for my desire at present time --   Have you checked what some people have done with railroad containers? I don't have time to search for the links now but I am a bit more impressed with those than these "tiny" homes --   at least for long term living --  

     

    I would not want to have anything on the water for permanent living  but maybe for vacation fun -- I also do not want to live down in the ground - but  would not mind a container being partially in the side of a mountain / hill -- this would be extra insulation  and protection from the elements --  

     

    Thanks for the extra posts - I enjoy seeing others' imagination & creativity at work -- UNEEK

  7. PluMnet - Fly - Jim1Cor13 -- all I can say is W O W  -- I really enjoyed reading your thoughts -- thank you so much for sharing  I don't dare go into detail of each one as I would make a total mess of what I wanted to say - and would most likely be misinterpreted -  -- only because of my lack of  ability expressing right now - :) 

     

    I do have my own thoughts  but I am also still seeking more knowledge and more understanding  - through more studies -  Free Will is especially of interest to me -- 

     

    Thanks for all that share I am reading every word  -- UNEEK

  8. good one Heavyduty -- thanks for sharing !!  It was a nice reminder that if we separate ourselves from the "source" our flame will be like a dying ember -  

     

    Another way to look at this story is....

     

    This man was missed in the church possibly - and his warmth -  his fire ---  he became a dying ember and the heat from the fire was diminished also -- the church fire was weakened by his absence -- maybe the pastor was telling him that he was important and he was missed -- ???

     

    I am not intending to take away anyone's'  take on the story - just offering a different one -- :)

  9. I cannot know the pain you feel.
    I cannot share your memories of your loss.
     
    I only can remember and know the pain I felt when I had my losses - especially my father & son  -- I have 2 brothers and would not want to lose either - they are very dear to me 
     
    My words of sympathy are beneath measure, yet please know that my heart reaches out with love to your heart. I pray for comfort and peace

  10. THANK YOU -- I have been watching these off and on for a while - really enjoy them - not sure I am ready to downsize to that extreme - but I do like the idea of being portable and very efficient !!  

     

    I am really curious if this trend  evolved from the man who started building things like this for the homeless  from pallets and other scraps -   I loved those stories also  --  

     

    I do believe it is imperative to be more aware of waste and  the environment --  UNEEK 

  11. Wonderful sharing from all --   almost a tear bringer :)  Texstorm -- you are truly blessed indeed  -  My mom is in her 80's  - I lost my father way too soon -- miss him still  -- I lost him way before I was able to gain all of his wisdom - and way before I had all the memories I wanted to cherish -

  12. RAGARCIA62  --I am so glad things have been cleared up for you  --  Have no idea why it all happened but if we can have the attitude that things happen "FOR" us instead of "TO" us we can move forward much quicker --  There is usually some lesson for  us to learn or some reason to experience the strife for us to become stronger - more patient - humble  etc --

     

    Take care - stay positive and thanks for sharing your story -- 

  13. In Memory of John Machaffie:

    Someone said he was a true patriot to his cause.

    Someone said he had a fierce passion for the truth.

    Someone seen him as a great leader and had a heart for helping people.

    Some loved his spirit for which he had as a warrior for what was right.

    Some never read his posts but when they saw his name felt a reverence for him.

    Some disagreed with him but many respected & called him friend

     
    Some did not believe in NESARA but believed in John and believed that he wanted the best for all

    Some had never heard of him  but many will miss him

    Some didn't always agree with him on everything, but loved his spirit and dedication to "the good fight".

    Someone described John MacHaffie as a SUPER Patriot, a leader by example, a doer, wanting to help others, a listener, an achiever.  He was a friend they had never met in person

    In John's own words, he describes himself. I think this is a great way to remember dear Johnnie:

    "This is my real name for one. I am not going to hide under a false alias.

     A wee bit about myself. I am a 65 yr old but feel like a 22 yr kid who has been following Nesara for the last couple of years. And now RAP for the last 6 months.

     My background is as an aerospace engineer - One of my designs is on the moon per Apollo 11 and I was also involved on the shuttle. I am a trekkie!

    I also worked in project management and spent 7 years overseas in SE Asia, lived 3 years in paradise, Thailand, doing power plants installations.

     Live 8 years overseas in SE Asia and conversant in 3 Asian languages.

     
    Also spent some time with the Navy.

     I LOVE OUR LORD and believe this NESARA, RESTORE REPUBLIC and GALACTICS are some of HIS doing.

     I am very honest and tell it like it is.

     My personal goal is to Help the world and America in its restoration. GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN!

     I am a straight shooter and figured time for the REAL TRUTH to come out! 

    I GIVE CREDIT FOR THE SUCCESS --- TO THE DIVINE INTERVENTION THAT IS ON OUR SIDE!

  14. In Memory...John MacHaffie, Rest In Peace

     

    1/11/2015   John MacHaffie Update:

     

    There has been a terrible tragedy today.  Johnnie was doing fine day 1 and day 2 of his recovery but 3:30 today he had to be in the ER due to complications after his heart rate dropped below 30 he had to be sent into a 2nd surgery to install a pacemaker.

     

    The surgery was successful but in the ICU recovery his heart muscle just couldn't take it and he died 3:30 pm 1/10/2015 of cardiac arrest.

     

    The family is deeply saddened and shocked by this sudden turn of events and is recovering and grieving over this loss. John however is in a better place now and his achievements and legacy now live within me and all of you.

     

    We appreciate any support you guys might have and all your prayers that you've given and we shall endure over this sudden loss. God bless you all and God Bless Skip. - John Glenn Machaffie

  15. Good Morning V-star 650 (jeepguy)    thanks for the heads up --   hope you are doing well -- it is freezing cold here  but I am wrapped up pretty good -  Just a few more weeks and we will be looking at Spring -- yeahhhhh - We have had a pretty mild winter here so far --  Take care - will buzz in chat later when it is working  <3  

     

    Sad to hear about another Dinarian loss -- John McHaffie  - a real trooper for all of  us -  :(

  16. Thank you TBomb for your contributions to the site -- I have read your posts many times but this may be the first time I have made a reply -   probably because I do not feel knowledgeable enough about   the topics  lol -- But wanted to chime in and say thank you - this was a very good read - I like that they are actively working on getting government and the country stable and moving forward -- It is all looking better and better  every day -  UNEEK

  17. Hello everyone -- WOW  was the first thing that came to my mind -- and then my mind became a little cloudy -- Everyone posed  such good educated & intelligent arguments -  Everyone seemed to be very grounded in what they believe - Everyone pretty much had scripture to back it up -- Thank you all 

     

    Where is our Deborah Layne on this subject????   lol  -- I bet she will be in later :)

     

    I am not being argumentative here -- I have the biggest  sincerest, compassionate heart of anyone  -  I have read the Bible and did extensive study for 2 - 3 years - I have gone to church the bigger part of my life -- I have visited different denominations - I have wanted to study all the different religions but there are just too many for the time I could devote to it -- Heck there are over 700 different Baptists within the Protestant faith that I could probably never get through much less all the different "religions"

     

    I so appreciate all that contribute to these type threads as it gives me more to think about and contemplate on my journey - My contribution is probably worth less than 2 cents -- as it is just "my thoughts"" and "my feelings"   --  and maybe my life experiences  -- 

     

    Growing  up I could never question what was being taught and what I was "told" to believe -  Had I grown up with Muslims  I would most likely believe the way they do -- China  or India I would believe as they do -  

     

    I no longer find it strange that a life long Catholic  changes to a Protestant faith and vice versa --  I especially do not find it strange for a non - believer to become a believer ----  (meaning non Christian to Christian)  --

     

    I am a little more than just curious though how and why a long time pastor would turn around and become an atheist - I have read some of this particular pastors story but not enough to fully answer all of my questions or satisfy my curiosity -  I do not want to just take the stance that he never had a true relationship with God or has had some experience to back slide or something like that - I am not one to be his judge, neither qualified or entitled to do so

     

    As stated earlier, I have visited different churches and different faiths and the question that still lingers with me today is -- How can so many read the same scriptures and pray to the same God and get different  interpretations & different answers to the same questions?     

     

    Every church that I visited was very strong in their theology, doctrine, ideology, dogma, whatever you want to label it -- but bottom line..... IF they were right - that put everyone else wrong --  How did they get to be so lucky? 

     

    I am not being sarcastic or negative  here -- honestly, I am sincere  in my thoughts that I am sharing  and hope for some comments - non attacking of course -- you don't know me and  you have not walked in my shoes .. you have not seen what I have seen .... you have not felt what I have felt...... 

     

    I know what I was told to believe while growing up -- I embraced it for many years giving it 110%  - the return was not so great ---- When I was of age and out on my own I began my search - I prayed and read everything I could get my hands on -- In the beginning, honestly, it was scary. I feared the wrath of God like you would not believe.

     

    When I was down and out - at the very bottom - in the very darkest and painful time of my life -- when I could have used some understanding & compassion - the church  & religion were not there for me -- Thank goodness God was!

     

    My perspective did change about many things -- some of my beliefs changed -- some I still question - some I still carry  -- This all happened very, very slowly -- over years -- 

     

    Today I guess I could  comfortably and confidently say that "my experiences" did more for influencing me on my path and grounding me in what I believe "now" than anything  -- I would not discount any of what I read or cd's I listened to  as they were extremely helpful in revealing to me that many others were also searching for answers  -- 

     

    I am no longer so comfortable using the word "religion"  and especially a denomination to define me or the way or what I believe -- I don't like labels in that respect  - I have strong beliefs - high morals & ethics - and virtues that guide my  thoughts - decisions and  behavior -- and yes I pray to God   :) Do I falter, every day  

     

    What we believe -- we make true -- but it may only be truth for us -- and at that time -- I am where I am and who I am by my choices  -- I am open to even contemplating and embracing more changes as I explore and experience more -- I question a lot 

     

    Does any of this have any thing to do with discussion in this thread?  I'm not sure  you decide; but it is what was on my heart to share - <3 <3 UNEEK <3 <3

  18. Patty - oh how wonderful to see and feel your presence here -- I have missed you -- It was wonderful seeing your post here for Nadita!! 

     

    Funny thing with me or maybe a little strange I don't know exactly lol --   but when certain things happen in my life -- when I am faced with or going through something --  that is when my heart over flows and the thoughts that fill my mind find their way to the paper --

     

     It is therapy for me  as it allows me to read the words over and over and over again  for retrospect - analyzing -  sorting -  awakening  and giving me more clarity of vision  for where I am and where I want to be  and hopefully the means to get there --

     

    With some luck  the timing may be right  and be an opportunity to even be of benefit for someone else - Most of what I write is elementary and folks kinda know it anyway -- I just word it a little differently  and it becomes gentle "reminders"  or a gentle nudge to live consciously & deliberately 

     

    Of all the times I have been thrown to the curb and / or under the bus (many over the years) I don't remember there ever being a time I jumped up and ran as if I was in the Olympics lol -- there were many times I could barely crawl my way up and  a few incidents I recall took years -- I was a slow learner  and God was very patient -- He even carried me a few times  <3

     

    I know what's in my heart and it's real -- I wish everyone could see it and feel it like I do  - The excitement - compassion -  passion for life and making a difference - 

     

    Thank you Patty Angel for dropping in and giving me that little boost ((((HUGS))))

  19. tankdude -- I remember the time you speak of ---It is difficult in this human experience to escape that emotional pain of loss - I know it well -

     

     The deeper we love and value the loss the deeper the pain -- and strangely  (for me anyway)  while I do not welcome that pain I would rather have the ability to feel that deeply & intensely than to be numb - calloused &  indifferent and not feel at all - 

     

    Thank you for sharing  & I would love to be on your team :) 

  20. Good one Sentinel7!!      Thanks for sharing !!  We all have our strong points and some weak ones --  its even better when we have friends  ( or can be that friend)with others and can compliment our strong ones and help us to strengthen the weaker ones -== 

     

    Life does a pretty good job of providing experiences tailor made just for us to fine tune and strengthen our character -- 

  21. WOW Vietnam1969 -- Thank you for sharing a  part of your personal side -- That can be difficult for many  but shows a strength in my opinion --

     

     It takes a lot of deliberate thinking and conscious effort - on a daily basis Vietnam to jump the hoops - dodge the attacks - and carry the responsibilities that WE have chosen (or been given?) -- It is picking ourselves up again and again and again --  

     

    I know deep within my being my intentions are sincere and I genuinely want to leave a legacy behind for my grand daughters to be proud of and will want to remember and honor - 

     

    I witnessed 2 pastors struggle through a funeral over the holidays  and though they did a remarkable job for the family; others, including myself, seen and knew a very different side of that life -- now gone -- It was mind shifting for sure -- 

     

    What has helped me at times has been thinking that it is like strength training - each experience - each attack -- is like weight being added for body builders - The only way to become stronger is to continually lift more than you can -- to keep "pressing" 

     

    Also looking at life as things happening FOR us not TO us --  Not taking up the victim role -- I have my weak moments for sure but the inner desire to finish is very strong -- and yes that even gets buried at times -- but you just find a way to bring it back to focus!! Find a visual that you brand into your mind and keep it alive!!  ((HUGS)) to you  <3 <3
