That would be yesterday piers

. I am beating myself over for not buying gold when it was about 700$ at the end of november last year. I actually called up the guy and had it agreed but then things got in the way and I delayed it. Now it's 1000$ and the dollar is stronger.. and all my money is in euros.. so the next point of entry may be april (march should experience the next wave of financial distress and market drops).. hopefully people will have to sell gold bringing the price down.
But its not so bad as it seems, I think we still have few more months until the possibility of irreversible collapse happens. Right now even if some countries collapse, they will be bailed out by the IMF or other heavy weights long before things can get out of control.. thats why the necessary thing right now is to have food only for about a month (its not such a huge deal anyway.. few cans of tuna and corn can do the job

.. better be safe than sorry) ... some real paper cash under the mattress is also advisable.. in case the banks get blocked for a week or two.
I know for most people this seems like science fiction but as I already said I lived through it once already. I remember the boom years of yugoslavia when we had LOADS of money, extremely modern and high quality society and anything remotely resembling trouble was unthinkable of. But I then remember the gas rations, the empty shelves in the supermarket nearby, the lines of people trying to buy bread and the worthless money paper losing 99% of value in one month due to hyper inflation.. and of course the closed banks making lots of people lose their entire life savings (I think the government gave it to them after 15 years in small packages). I was lucky that our republic didn't face revolution... but I remember the thousands of refugees from Croatia that escaped and came to our country...
Do not worry though, this is what we came for after all. To enter into the new world ... but as always, for the new to emerge the old must die. Don't fight it, just make sure you are best prepared to ride it
Czymra: I don't know where we step in and save the day. I think it may be more energetic than physical. We can't face them and fight them with their tools. If we are indeed headed for a pole shift then the only important thing is staying alive (but avoiding getting chipped) and riding it so when we are on the other side we can lead whoever survives into the new era of heightened consciousness.. As much as I am a fighter I believe the smart thing to do would be to avoid direct physical confrontation. Awareness is the key , the more awareness people have the more their plan is delayed... the more our consciousness is increased.
