The reality is that unless people start bartering in silver and gold, the world will gravitate to electric currencies at the exclusion of all others.
We're more likely to establish a trade based on TP than we are on gold or silver. I think they're a pipe dream distraction. Especially since the Mark of the Beast means NO buying or selling; by any method. Precious metal money requires institutional and community buy in. You'll never get institutional buy in and the on the ground man will not go for it either. For example look at the drug trade: they evolved use of tide and license plate stickers for on ground trade in cases but never gold or silver; except maybe at the top international levels (actually not even there for the most part, since they laundered the cash through the banking system). Something the cops won't arrest you for is key (hence tide).
TP: rare, producible (but not easily), intrinsic value, built in deflation, and brand name packaging to act as buffer against counterfeiting, legitimate uses to hedge against being made illegal to own/transport
Just think, forests could become the new gold mine. Well, probably not, but it is possible.
This is truly the end of liberty.
The OP is accurate as to what the deep state WANTS to do. This is a mark of the beast system. But I don't know if they can pull it off, or if they are even in the position to. This as much looks like a desperation measure against Trump and the other nationalist forces as anything. Prophecy considered, we know they'll succeed eventually. This is as much an opportunity for the anti-globalist forces to consolidate power as it is for the globalists.
However, since we don't know which way this will go, and since we do know that the beast system will eventually be installed, act as if they will be successful and prepare accordingly.
So what do we do, to push back on these changes or prepare our families for them?
First. Pray.
Second, root out and kill your normalcy bias. It works most of the time but when society goes sideways (as it inevitably does for EVERY civilization) it becomes deadly. Those who didn't have it stocked up months, even years, before the store shelves emptied of TP. Go spend some time reading Revelations. It will get bad, very bad, before it gets better. You have to learn to think outside the box and move without panic or bewilderment in the face of everything going to shit. Chaos is the new normal. Adaptability is the key to survival.
Third, if you lost your job what would you do?
- Now while you can, stock up essentials and ruthlessly eliminate all COST items in your life. Prepare for sudden and total decrease in income.
- Be thinking on entrepreneurial ideas on how to make money when you loose your job. They are all around you. Our inflexible supply chain is cracking up under the pressure of having to make massive, sudden adjustments. All sorts of opportunities are arising.
- Thinking about it is half the battle, if you mentally prepare and take some physical steps, you'll be better able to face the difficulties to come when they may. Those who refuse to think about it (normalcy bias) are those who panic.
Fourth, assume they're going to eventually set up a mark of the beast system that will keep you from buying and selling. Go on war footing to reorient your life to avoid the problems from that:
- avoid debt at all costs
- restart the home economy: produce as many of your own needs as you can and get the rest from neighbors.
- extract yourself from commercial supply chains. Eventually extract yourself from the capitalistic wage slavery commerce based life. Local not global. But don't assume the local is immune from crackup.
- extract yourself from the corporate economy as much as possible (i.e. entrepreneurship), but not if it impedes restarting the home economy.
- form relationships with neighbors / community / faith; when the hammer comes down it will be people helping people that matters most (hurting this is probably half the goal of the social distancing measures)
- grow your own food or support someone who does and can trade/sell it to you. gardens. csa's. direct market farmers. bulk stores.
- Use it up, Wear it Out, Make it Do Or Do Without.
Fifth, when we come out of this panic and life goes back to normal, don't stop. The time to prepare for crisis is when times are fat and no one thinks you need to worry. Those most prepared now are those the world called crazy 5 years ago. Let this be your wake-up call to change your life. Though this may pass, another crisis will eventually come. If not now, then in your children or grandchildren time. We are likely entering a long period of multi-generational change not seen since the crackup of the Roman Empire.
Sixth, form a new culture around this. Pass on your lifestyle to your children. Enlist them in life. This isn't a hobby or something Dad worries about; it's all hands on deck fun activity for all. For example, gardening is a fun activity for the family to do together that both teaches essential life skills and fulfills the goals above.
This is war against the people. Treat it as such, go on a personal war footing, devoting all time attention and money to the above. No longer can we afford to be distracted by bread and circuses.
