I suspect this is bogus, and relies on some outdated economic theory. The value of gold is absolutely artificial, little more than a religious belief.
The money driving the global economy now is derivatives, largely based on energy, but also land. It will be very hard for anyone to crash, as all derivatives are changing hands all the time, largely out of sight of anyone.
As the dollar=euro=RMB=Swiss Franc at exchange rates which only deviate nominally from their norm, one currency can basically be said to *be* another, and while money is only around 10% of all money now when you drag the derivatives in, those derivatives guys can't flood the market for money any more than the FED can go rolling with the e-presses because no one wants to be cut out from a world market in which their currency equals everyone elses.
IF there's a food disaster in the US it will come from a national food distribution program. It will require some bogus story about poisoned food, or maybe they'll actually poison it, so as to stop imports, and then run a bogus famine story or create an actual famine which could be the impetus for instituting a national food distribution program.
I think this is real fascist dystopia stuff, and I wouldn't put it past our beloved leaders, but I don't see us quite there yet.

You're better off with a crossbow made from a strong wood with the bow cut from an automotive leaf spring and using an emergency brake cable for the "string" - there's a couple good designs for that floating around and in a real total meltdown it would be invaluable as you can replace the "string" quickly with minimal tools, it's very quiet in it's operation with no muzzle flash to betray your position and ammunition is easy to make.

Let me clue you in on their thinking: The peeps in power DO NOT believe in God- they DO NOT truly love their families or their fellow man- they are disillusioned by the success they themselves have achieved through no *real* work of their own, and they believe in that old bumper-sticker meme, "The one who dies with the most toys wins."
Good food, good sex, good times. That's it.
Screw us, the little people.
That, is, of course, not every rich person. But enough to keep the world f***ed.

I think this is all about family values: Their families. It strikes me that all of this fits very well into an incredibly primitive clan/tribe mindset.
Eugenics=kill all the non-us, to make more room for us.
Landgrab=the land is for us.
environmental destruction=kill all the food that makes animals because they're non-us. Make it farmland
biofuels=make sure it don't make food until we need it to make more us.
war=make the non-us kill each other.
money=make them all work for us
media=we tell the non-us what to think, how to act. make sure they don't talk to each other or think or they might figure it out.
public education=they're thinking again. make them stop.
law=kill them or lock them up if they don't do what we say, make sure they don't have babies.
abortion=kill all the non-us babies
globalism=there's non-us in the world running their own affairs. stop them. stop them a lot.
Make them stupid-happy-scared in debt. They will love us. We were meant to rule. You want us to have the big stick. Give us the big stick. We rule you. See? We have the big stick.
While I'm at it

Still can't imagine gold being worth more than food and water, if things come to that.
Don't imagine it , then.
You got a Berkefeld water filter ? Might wanna look to that...
Meanwhile , more reading , to sustain the discussion.

O2B/anyone - are you going to watch The Colony coming up on Discovery, July 27th?

The first one was hokey and contrived, but I still watch every ep.

Uh, actually, I have one. Katadyn brand. I'm a hiker, I live in Utah. I'd be stupid (and dead) if I didn't.
Technically we do get a lot of our water along the Wasatch front from creek run off, but that's controlled by reservoirs up in the mountains. I'm imagining the population of Salt Lake City trying to subsist along the rivers and lakes in the mountains, and I don't think this is a good long term solution.
If you have a gun, then that'll secure your own water and survival, but you're really seriously talking actual water wars if it gets this bad. I'm still standing by my claim that out here water will be a lot more precious than gold.

I'll probably see some of them...It will be interesting , at times , I'm sure...I don't watch much on the tube , due to time constraints...
Funny thing about that show , I was given an invite to try out for it , which would've been fun , but I got to thinking that I should be getting more prepared for actual disasters that loom on our horizon , rather than some that are simulated or contrived on teevee...
