What About The Future?
"In My Opinion."
By Michael Knight.
It goes without saying, so I seldom say it.
As a seasoned reporter, I provide information, gleaned from many sources.
It can be a combination of information, education, and entertainment.
But that does not mean that you, or I, are required to agree with everything or everyone.
Frankly, I believe all subscribers to this newsletter are more than capable of thinking for themselves, forming their own conclusions, and using their own discernment.
I just do my best to stay on point, or close to it, considering the shifting sands of current events and uncertainties about the future.
In that regard, I do NOT expect a return to "normal" even if the Cabal is taken out in the next 20 minutes.
What I DO expect is the abnormal;
I DO expect central banks, worldwide, to bite the dust.
Therefore, like my grandparents, I am sure there are many who trust their mattress (or a Folger's coffee can) as a hiding place for a few $$s, more than they do the banks.
In this day of electronic money, having only enough in the bank to cover next month's bills is a wise thing.
Investing in precious metals (gold and silver) would have been a lot smarter five to 20 years ago. But it's not too late (and this is not financial advice) - if you have anything left over after squeezing the piggy to pay for gas and groceries these days. (We don't, but it seems like a good idea anyway).
And I have some questions for myself.
If/when the central banks go bust, how are these international and national chains, such as Walmart, going to survive? Don't they absolutely rely on these central banks in one way or another to help them with their money-go-round?
What happens when cargo ships can no longer afford fuel (or trucks and planes and trains that carry all our goods)?
Having supplies in China while demand is in America, is not a very good scenario.
The Walmarts of the world have made unbelievable profits in the years they have been driving small businesses out of business. (I know of what I speak, having had a small preparedness retail business in Portland Oregon for a few years before Walmart started selling the same products and we went broke).
Now, it seems to me, their demise is also inevitable.
Therefore, it would be a good idea to help them along that path by buying some of the preparedness items you might need to have on hand in the future.
Another thing that goes without saying (and I must stop saying that stupid saying) is that only idiots think they can put a pack on their back and "go bush" during troubled times.
Unless you're a super-fit well-seasoned outdoorsman or woman, that is most certainly a dumb plan.
Often I would hear a customer claim that all he needed to survive was to head off into the Cascades.
It rains an awful lot there. So I would respond by challenging these macho guys. "Okay, Let's set up a week in the winter for you to disappear from civilization...and we'll see how well you get on out there."
The funny thing was, not one of them ever took the challenge.
Instead, most of them were sensible enough to decide for themselves what they needed to focus on in order to deal with current events and the times ahead.
There. I said it.
