Yes, the gold confiscation. It happened before remember? Good old FDR.
My Great Uncle told me about it, and also gave me the advice to own silver dollars. Wise man he was....

Executive Order 6102 required U.S. citizens to deliver on or before May 1, 1933 all but a small amount of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates owned by them to the Federal Reserve, in exchange for $20.67 per troy ounce. Under the Trading With the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917, as amended on March 9, 1933, violation of the order was punishable by fine up to $10,000 ($167,700 if adjusted for inflation as of 2010) or up to ten years in prison, or both. Most citizens who owned large amounts of gold had it transferred to countries such as Switzerland

This is scary shyte!

What vexes me is that I know Congress knew about all of this

for a loooong time. Their hands were in the cookie jar as well!

This may seem off-topic, it's unintentional if it is.
I've been reading this & other topics, watching the T.V. reports & it's all a bit surreal; I'll try to explain why:
In the relatively remote part of Australia that I live in its almost like the Global Fundage Meltdown just isn't happening; house prices are still rising, there is very substantial building happening, ect. ect. & the politicians are really quick to tell us that their fantastic work is responsible for this situation.
These riots in Europe really seem like they are happening on another planet.
I guess my question/point is this: Why aren't we doing it tough like the rest of the world? Is Australia being shielded by TPTB? Because I don't believe the crap the politicians are feeding us.
Are we some sort of NWO haven? It's very suspicious.

Though I don't know the specifics, it's been mentioned numerous times on this site that Australia is the NWO's next pick for rising up as the U.S. & Europe falls. It's a great pick for many reasons, one of them being that in the case of nuclear war, the southern hemisphere is not nearly as effected. I've been gathering funds and trying to keep up with current events so that once it's time to skip out of the states I'll be ready. If the northern hemisphere seems to be safe, I'll likely end up in Canada. If I don't think that's a good idea at the time, it's ether South America, Australia, or New Zealand.
