Poland has begun confiscating the wealth of its citizens by nationalizing retirement accounts. This opens the door for the rest of the world’s governments to do the same. Confiscation of wealth has been occurring throughout history. Slave labor by Egypt was a confiscation of wealth of the Israelites. At the end of the judgment period, the books were balanced. Israel departed Egypt with much wealth. This provided funds for the Census, then the building of the Tabernacle in the wilderness. Exploitation of labor has been occurring in virtually every country. Financial instruments have been designed to confiscate wealth. The Federal Reserve was designed to confiscate wealth by depreciating the U.S. Dollar in a subtle, slow fashion. However, the depreciation is beginning to accelerate. Physical assets that don’t readily depreciate are a hedge or protection against devaluation. Gold, silver, oil & gas reserves, and productive farmland are all stores of value to some degree. Housing may or may not be, depending on the local market demand. I generally view my home as a necessary expense. It can only be classified as an investment when you sell it and collect the proceeds. If you are able to buy a cheaper house and bank the difference, then it was an investment. Otherwise, you transferred an expense to another location.
The western central planners have 3 primary price targets:
Keep gold under $1,400 per ounce
Keep silver under $24 per ounce
Keep the Dow Jones Industrial Average over 15,000
As the corresponding prices depart from these targets, we will be able to see the loss of Western influence around the globe. These people have manage to maintain some level of control for decades. Their ultimate goal is to wrestle money and power from all others. They want all of mankind to serve them. They think there are too many people thus they encourage and finance war. This is evil at its worst. We have been warned of these times in Scripture but are encouraged to remain steadfast. Be encouraged that Our Heavenly Father will snare these people in their own devices and craftiness. As the Kings of the East continue their quest to increase gold and silver reserves, there will come a day when the above indicators will suddenly move against the western planners. Volatility will take over in the markets and men will become fearful of the future. Fear will grip the hearts of men when the illusion of their wealth evaporates. They will then look for answers elsewhere. Our Heavenly Father continues to mature the Sons of GOD in preparation for that fateful day.
