Actually Icke spells out the “gameplan” very nicely:
IMF/The Fed/EU Central Bank force the states to borrow themselves into oblivion.
Then with an appropriate distraction like for instance the Jews bombing Iran, Iran sinking a carrier that is puttering around in their gulf, incidentally on her last voyage before it´s decommissioning (that costs a fortune). Russia and China suddenly remember they are allied with Iran and each other .. viola WW3.

And while these minor distractions go off, hardly anybody will complain that whoops all the (supposedly)sovereign state monies have suddenly crashed and the only hope is a global electronic currency controlled by your benevolent banksters who of course know best.

That is of course the “best case” scenario for our Elites. We´ll see how much of that will actually pan out. The good part is that they are very much behind their schedule.

Damn normalcy bias,kept me too complacent for far too long!!

History is replete with little people who bought gold, then when holding gold was made illegal they buried it, then they got moved along and lost ownership of the land where it was buried etc..

This is my point, if you study history it is full of eras where little people bought gold to try to weather the crisis, and it never worked, because gold is the ULTIMATE fiat currency, the ultimate ponzi scheme, the ultimate confidence trick.

Specie money is still fungible, one dollar bill is as good as another, one gram of gold as good as another, the WHOLE POINT of economic collapse is one hour of your labour is not worth one hour of mine, because I am at the irrigation pump that needs fixing and know how to fix it and keep it running, and you don’t, etc

To survive to get to the other side, YOU MUST OF NECESSITY be able to command a personal surplus to minimum survival every single hour between now and then..
.

But I think you kind of miss the point. People invest in gold because they expect it to get bad, but not TEOTWAWKI. A replay of the Weimar republic, or the inflation of the 1970s USA. In that case holding gold would work out well, as there’s a huge economic crisis but there’s not total social breakdown.

Obviously if I ring up the Perth Mint and get them to store a few dozen ounces for me, I expect that the Perth Mint will still be in business after the crisis. Not much point otherwise.

People who believe civlization is going to crumble into disorder aren’t the the ones advocating investing in gold. They are investing in lead. And some invest in both. But they are anticipating two different scenarios. Gold is for the scenario where civil society survives the crisis.

Basically, women want a bull before marriage and a bullock after.
