If any or some of these things happen in the near future what about my investments and the money I have in various institutions? Are they safe? If something catastrophic happens will I be able to get my money out of harm’s way in time?
In 1961, Robert Anderson, the Secretary of the Treasury, drafted a document entitled the Emergency Banking Order which spells out in detail what the Federal Reserve Banking system plans to do with your money in the event of a war against the United States. They will simply close their doors and ration money to you as you need it to pay bills or taxes or for essential living expenses. But you will not be allowed to move any large amounts of money for anything. So if and when they put that order in place, forget about getting any of your money out of harm’s way.
The same thing is true of any of your investments, whether they are stocks, bonds, T-bills, CD’s, annuities, life insurance policies, mutual funds, money market accounts. In order to cash out any of these things they need to go through a bank. And if the banks are shut down, forget it. You will never see your money again.
A wise person will see disaster coming from current events and take steps to avoid it. Look at what happened to Argentina. With the collapse of the peso, the banks rationed cash at the rate of $250 per week or $1,000 a month. People with fortunes in the banks or in other financial institutions were stuck. Nowhere to go and nothing they can do. And with the ripple effect in motion, the question is only “When?” will it get here?
Now is the time to get your investments out of harm’s way and convert them into something tangible, whether it is a stockpile of food, a wood stove, a generator,
gold and silver,
or cash in hand. Right now, most Americans have the majority of their electronic or paper wealth behind someone else’s financial institution doors. Those investments are simply a number on a piece of paper or a number on a computer chip. It is like a digital mirage which can vaporize in an instant. The worst and scariest part is that someone else is controlling your wealth, you are not. But the bottom line is that you are currently in control of your investments and can do something about these things if you want to. Current events point the way toward the future.
Choose your own destiny. Don’t be the next victim when the banks shut their doors.
