just to see what would happen?
It could have been done in Cuba to start a run on US banks to move the event, time line up. Or surveil US consumer reaction via social media.
I have a theory on why gold is considered "valuable."The problem with taking cash out of banks is that it is just paper. The digitized bank is no more real than paper money and vice versa. Paper stood for precious metal at one time and the metal was value because of what? Gold was valued long before we knew of its electrical properties. People killed for a metal that they thought was pretty.
So, barter deals in trading goods that people want.
Rather than pull out cash to horde, buy more ammo.
There is a reason that Clint Smith is in my footer signature. Because he was right. And even if there was no cash money, the ammo is going to serve you better. Or other goods. Toilet paper, etcetera.
How many countries in the universe haven't killed their own countymen? The Civil war, tusgskiee experiments, putting Japanase in concentration camps. Can you name an unarmed African-American killed by police in an area run by Republicans?Just logged on to call bullshit.
Carry on.
Japanese went to concentration camps?How many countries in the universe haven't killed their own countymen? The Civil war, tusgskiee experiments, putting Japanase in concentration camps. Can you name an unarmed African-American killed by police in an area run by Republicans?
Can't be a lefty w/o being a hypocrite.

Yes, it helped them concentrate.Japanese went to concentration camps?

Mark Twain said those who don't read the newspapers are uninformed. Those who do are misinformed. The same applies to TV news.Think about the way the public was informed in the 1940's though. They got their information through news radio, and newspapers. There was no global network of instant informative sources like the internet of today. People were scared, and it was easy to exploit that fear, and sow the seeds of misinformed racism to make every asian looking person out to be the enemy.
We have a much greater capacity for rapid, accurate information around the world, but we've gotten really lazy to where we make assumptions based off of headlines without ever reading the article.

It's not a concentration camp when we do it. Just like how we don't make propaganda.A concentration camp is where people of a certain group are held concentrated.

And the people calling the shots now long for that era today. But it is clear to see some have already bought their line hook line and sinker.Think about the way the public was informed in the 1940's though.

Really cash will be of little value, better to have a can of spam, and a rifle to defend it.Right or wrong, real or fake, mad at each other or not; this is a wake up call that should not be ignored.
Everyone needs to keep a reservoir of cash or spendable/valuable commodity and a way to obtain food of sorts outside of the grocery store.
and you'd be wrong in addition to grossly over simplifying it.You're probably the kind that thinks "enhanced interrogation" methods aren't actually torture because the words are different.
You are the one that is not properly educated.
Taken from your homes at gunpoint and stripped of everything you own, pretty much for good, and made to be in horrible condition camps guarded by hateful murder happy guards with machine guns out in the middle of the worst parts of the country for the crime of nothing... simply because of your skin colour and your ethnicity...
I'll call that concentration camps...
You can stick your head in the sand and call it whatever makes you feel good about doing that to people...
Oh and then when they were finally released / liberated whatever, essentially tossed out on the street with nothing into a vehemently racist country that hated them & said good luck with that...
Oh and the Japanese got publicity
Try finding anyone talking about all those of Italian or German ancestry that were hauled off to the concentration camps and labour camps by our glorious uniform hangers.
The constitution has been proven over and over again to mean nothing when the government convinces the sheeple that destroying someone's rights is the way to go and the courts won't protect you either.

During World War II, the United States forcibly relocated and incarcerated about 120,000 people of Japanese descent in ten internment camps operated by the War Relocation Authority (WRA), mostly in the western interior of the country. Approximately two-thirds of the detainees were United States citizens. These actions were initiated by Executive Order 9066, issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, following Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Before the war, about 127,000 Japanese Americans lived in the continental United States, of which about 112,000 lived on the West Coast. About 80,000 were Nisei ('second generation'; American-born Japanese with U.S. citizenship) and Sansei ('third generation', the children of Nisei). The rest were Issei ('first generation') immigrants born in Japan, who were ineligible for citizenship. In Hawaii (then under martial law), where more than 150,000 Japanese Americans comprised more than one-third of the territory's population, only 1,200 to 1,800 were incarcerated.' |
I'm sorry if you didn't understand the 'why' I get it , you're a slow oneYou cited Wikipedia? Like, not even cited it, you plagiarized verbatim. You were a music major weren't you.
I have a theory on why gold is considered "valuable."
Yes, it's a good conductor of electricity. But it isn't the best... Silver is.
But silver also tarnishes... Gets that ugly black tarnish on it. And when you clean the tarnish off you are removing silver. Just a fine layer, but you are reducing the amount there. And if the tarnish is bad enough it could appreciably reduce the weight of the silver item. Over time that leads to a loss in investment.
Gold does not tarnish. I can put a pound of gold coins in a clay jar and stash the jar in a cave... And after 1000 years the gold coins will still weigh a pound. There is no loss from corrosion or tarnish.
Gold withstands the ravages of time. Your investment doesn't shrink due to moisture, bugs, dust, acid from skin oils, etc...
If I trade someone for a cord of firewood I only have so much time before my firewood rots. But if someone pays me with a 1 oz gold coin, it doesn't rot. I just have to keep it from being stolen or lost.
That's my own theory as to why gold is considered precious. It can just sit there and hold it's value over time.

This ^^^.Maybe this will cause Cubans to revolt and take over the government?
That is the least of our problems.
This is how you take over America.
Stinks of that fucker soros.

They plan on killing us.
Read several "what if" works of fiction where 90% silver coinage and .22 ammo became the currency after an economic collapse.guess that's why its best to have 90% silver and alloyed gold. pure anythign isnt that great. pure gold is way too soft to withstand time and use.
back when i was a goldbug most of my stash was AGE's in a all sizes.
now days, bartering for goods and services will be the currentcy of choice, IMO. i certainly won't trade for PM's anymore... in a WROL land.
