I have to say that my impression of rense.com is not good - swift-boating rants; really anti-Semitic - tending to reflect poorly on any who associated with them - just another way for the 'powers-that-be' to set us fighting against and blaming one-another and distract us from improving ourselves and our situation.

On the other hand I do think that in a real emergency - precious metals decline in value because folks need necessities (food etc.) and are willing to sell their commodities to get them.
