These are Perilous Times-Jim Rogers

Greg,

I like Jim Rogers and think he is a very bright guy, but there was something wrong with him in that interview. Is his taking wrong medication? To me, he seemed like he was undergoing shock therapy during the interview.

(You don’t have to post this. This was just a personal note to you. I’ m not trying to embarrass or harass anyone, including Mr. Rogers.)

Greg: Another great interview: I am glad there were no time lag to have to tolerate.
This was a short ten day correction in gold. When I read the timeline the picture becomes very clear. (The dollar is the correction), as banks prepare for the future.
Interesting read:

Wow! Jim Rogers on USAWatchdog! I think he’s the smartest investor in the world. If I were in charge, I’d appoint him the next Fed Chairman and watch with unbridled joy as he dismantled that monstrous anti-American beast, piece by piece. Great get, Greg. Can’t wait to see him again on the site.

Another donation on the way!!

In medieval times, alchemists dreamed of discovering a process by which they could chemically transform base metals into gold and, by that discovery, attain unimaginable wealth and power. The chemical process was never discovered but the dream never died. Eventually, other sorcerers discovered the Philosopher’s Stone rooted in a system of faith. We now call that faith “fiat currency”.

For worthless paper to take on value, the modern alchemists had to gain an unacknowledged yet universal social consent from the masses of people to be used as catalysts in the process, and this was no small feat. That it was accomplished so easily and on a global scale is so mysterious a phenomenon that it could easily be qualified as having been supported by divine or, if you prefer, diabolic power.

Today, we have a situation in which people are losing the faith while the sorcerers preach from the pulpits of the Federal Reserve, the IMF, the Workd Bank and other globalists cathedrals. We see them invoke esoteric incantations such as “quantative easing”, “credit rating”, “trust” and “austerity” as they attempt to manipulate the spiritual will of the people, bewitching the masses to believe once again that all is well and the high priests are in complete control.

As Mr. Rogers stated, It will end badly but I doubt whether investment in agricultural stocks are likely to be a key to economic survival. The occultists, having understood the principles of alchemy, of creating something out of nothing, have purposely used that knowledge to gain control of the money used by the world’s sovereign nations and, through this mechanism, held the economies and governments of those participating nations hostage by default. Their dream realized, the alchemists gained unimaginable wealth and power, just as intended. Yet, when their diabolic system inevitably collapses as designed, what comes next?

Who can doubt that these disciples of the occult will then attempt to conjure up new faith in a truly global fiat currency system to support a global economy and, of course, fund a world government comprised of unelected officials appointed to keep the new order of things? When this push comes to shove, and if we don’t push it back into the depths form which it came, private ownership of agricultural stocks, or anything else for that matter, will become meaningless.

These are interesting, challenging and yes, perilous times we live in.

Greg, one man I wish you get on tape is Martin Armstrong!

Greg, to me doesn’t matter how high gold “goes”. What is the price NOW and what does not mean, now! When anyone asks and “expert” how high gold will go, I can only imagine the purpose of the question is, how rich am I going to be. The question I keep asking is, what will the price of a loaf of bread will be, if gold goes to $8K.

I am hoping gold goes higher, if I where to sell now, well, I would be underwater. So I am holding.

Hi Greg,

Great interview with Jim as always very clever and with his great memory of facts and history should be mandotory an each high school.
Can only advice to all to read his books, all down to earth.

This comment is from a zero hedge reader:

A mate of mine asked me what’s going on in Cyprus and Europe as a whole….kind of a pointless question without the Big Picture.

Here is my response;

Yeah, the more I read the bigger this whole game is…and it really is a game of winner takes all.

You have many factions woven into several layers within the game. There are the countries around the world, there are the major financial infrastructures, there are the superrich entities, and there are the banking entities which stitch the layers together…which makes sense.

The best way to think of them and how they interact is by way of a Venn Diagram (below), then this will all make much more sense.

Take a simple Venn Diagram with 3 overlapping circles (A + B +C). Note that there are a total of 8 sectors including space outside the circles.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7a/Venn_diagram_cmyk.svg

Let’s say that;
A = Are the countries of the world
B = Are the major financial infrastructures of the world
C = Are the banking entities of the world

The next layer is where just two of the major players overlap;
A/B = Military Industrial Complex and Major Corporations
B/C = Central Banks
C/A = Major Banks

You can now see how every entity is affected by every other entity, to varying degrees!

There is also another sector, right at the centre. This is the Superrich entities who own most of the real assets on the planet, such as a vast majority of Military Industrial Complex, the Major Corporations and the Major Banks, as well as most of the natural resources. Since the Major Banks own the Central Banks, then the Superrich own the Central Banks as well.

Now here is where it starts to get a little grey…..

Who is at the centre?

Well, there are at least three types of Superrich entities, they are;
1. The ultra-wealthy families who have had money since at least the 1700s’. These families are well known historically but they are very well hidden today, so too is their money (Gold and something else).
2. The Oil wealthy such as the Arab states. These are newcomers to the centre and their future is tied-up with the prosperity of their countries; if the country falls, so do they.
3. The Oligarchical wealthy. More newcomers who have recently emerged from the end of the Cold War. These include most of the families which prospered from the Military Industrial Complex, like the [George] Bushs’, and Mafia type Oligarchs like Putin and his KGB mates.

Ok, so that paints a picture of how all the visible entities fit together…..but there’s another layer. This is a very, very well hidden layer.

Imagine that the Venn Diagram (the whole world) is drawn on a single piece of paper, well, who owns that piece of paper???

I believe that the next and final layer doesn’t really have a name…but I’ll call them the Custodians! The Custodians essentially won 80% of the world between the 1300’s and 1700’s. They comprise of many or most of the Ultra-Wealthy entities dating back as far as the Black Venetian Nobility, the Templars, the Teutonic Templars, the Vatican, and later entities such as the Rothschild family.

On the Venn Diagram these Custodians own most of the paper as well as the entire centre sector of the Venn Diagram.

These Custodians own vast, vast sums of wealth, accumulated over centuries. I believe the sums would be in excess of $700 Trillion. HOWEVER, this figure is not a Dollar figure, or a Yuan figure, or even a Euro figure and this is why…

When Rothschild created the Central Banking System he also created a layering of the system where, the Major Banks in each country owned the Central Banks from whom they borrowed the money. BUT, as with all systems it is built upon a network, and in the case of the Banking System and the entire Global Financial System it is built upon a framework (network) which is 100% owned by these Ultra-Wealthy elite families. It has been this way since the end of the Napoleonic War, where, Napoleon threatened the entire European Banking System as he believed in a Bank of France which lent money at 0% interest…he hated Banks, and Banks hated him!

So the real question is, what is the framework, what is the network???

The Custodial Framework
United Nations – Global Police
World Bank – Global Lender
International Monetary Fund – Global Debt Collector
Intelligence – Custodial Eyes & Ears (Mi6, Mi5, CIA, MSS, Mossad, FSB {KGB}, SIS, CSIS, ASIS, DCRI, BND etc)
Power & Control Centres – US Council on Foreign Relations, European Council on Foreign Relations, Club of Rome, Bilderberg Group, Royal Institute for International Affairs, Trilateral Commission etc.
Main Stream Media – Global Propaganda
Hollywood – Global Propaganda and epicentre for Alternative/Pagan/Kabbalic/Ancient Mystery Religious interests.

The Custodial Network
Bank for International Settlements – Global Banking Computer Network for the movement and transfer of Global Currencies (the Back Bone)
London Bullion Market Association – Physical distribution and controlling agency of Gold (real wealth)
Central banking Network – Physical distribution and controlling agency of Global Currencies (medium of exchange for services, goods and labour)
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries – Global distributor and controlling agency of Global Oil (consumable real wealth)

What you must understand is that Currencies are merely a medium of exchange but Gold is real wealth and Oil is consumable real wealth. Oil is a type of hybrid between Currencies and Gold, this is why Oil States sell Oil in Currency (US Dollars) but there is always a payment in physical Gold as well. Oil has a usable function, Gold has a storable function, currency is merely a rate of exchange. You can think of Currency in terms of energy, Currency isn’t the fuel, Currency is merely the calorific value of the fuel being burned.

By the very nature of both the framework and the network, we can have a complete and total collapse of the Global Financial System and the Custodians don’t lose a single penny as they can simple create a brand new system at the click of a finger…new Currencies, new Bonds, new Banks, new Political systems….new everything….a brand new farm! This is because they own the machinery to make farms as well as the technology to do so.

People talk about a coming New World Order. If you believe what I have written you will see that it’s not coming at all, it’s already here, and has been here for perhaps 300 years. What they are talking about is merely the next cycle within the existing NWO…nothing more!

If you believe this, then for you the truth is revealed; that the threat of a coming NWO is a False Flag event. It is a deliberate misdirection to distract you from the truth hidden in plain view. If you believe that a NWO may be coming, then by definition, you believe that a NWO cannot currently exist. This is precisely what they want you to believe. They do not want you to realize that the NWO has already been implemented incrementally over the past 300 years and especially since the propagation of the Global Central Banking Cartel whose greatest achievements were the Bank of England, the United States Federal Reserve System, and the Eurozone (including European Central Bank).

There is of course one thing which they cannot create at the click of a finger…Gold!

When financial systems collapse the wealth transfer goes into Gold, which then becomes the store of wealth until a new system is put in place, then, the wealth transfer goes back into the new financial system. So, owning Gold is owning a piece of the next financial system, not the current financial system…get it? This is when Gold is most potent.

Then one more quote from John Dexter because it is great insight and so actuall relating to gold in our monetary system:

“Under the gold standard, paper currency notes promised to pay to the bearer on demand a fixed amount of gold in exchange for the note. Today, our paper money is nothing more then a I-O-U nothing.
The IMF,s attempts to substitute so called paper gold for the real thing is the most absurd concepts I,ve ever heard in my life. I call the IMF,s special drawing right (SDR) a who-owes-you nothing when.
There is no obligor, no promise to pay, nu maturity date. It is the most
preposterous credit instrument ever conceived by the mind of man”.

Keep up good work Greg , let,s just hope ppl start thinking for themself and not following their leaders without their own thinking.

I would not characterize the latest orchestrated scheme to take down silver/gold market as a healthy correction. It was an obvious manipulation of the paper market.
However, this stunt has had an inadvertent result. Instead of panicking the herds into liquidation. It has resulted in immense physical buying
It seems that the smart money has accepted the fact that the markets are manipulated and have learned to live with and profit from the actions of the Fed and there cronies. Remember If you cant hold it you don’t own it !
