Take a look at this link and find out who has the largest reserves of Gold.
I had a lot of trouble getting the link to work.
Do a google search for:
The Rankings Table as in IFS January 2011.xlsx - World Gold Council
America has managed to fool the world into accepting fiat paper currency backed by nothing and have stashed away their gold so that when their currency collapses along with the rest of the worlds currencies, they will create a new gold backed currency and for the most part leave the rest of the world in trouble. China will be very pissed off as they are holding a large ammount of American iou's.
The Russians and the Chinese are accutely aware of this scheme.

That chart kind of makes it look like America could be setting up the rest of the world to screw them by squeezing gold and inflating the debt away...
That would definitely make a lot of people angry - maybe that's why the other countries are getting serious about buying gold right now...because they see it coming

They propagandized, starting the Crusades of all European dopes to come fight a war a thousand miles away in the "Holy Land." The Crusades are an illustration of how a "spent force" can continue to have an effect on nations involving hundreds of thousands of people.
Crusades were really Roman imperialism, of what we are taught in school was a dead empire. The Crusades had nothing to do with religion and finding God. Except for the poor knights and everyone who thought that it was what they were fighting for. Just like how Americans think we are in Iraq to fight for democracy and patriotism. I know how it works, I know my history mate.

Here is why it wont: The world is more interconnected today than at any point in history. Despite our differences the world is collectively more together both economically, politically, militarily. Sure there is chaos around the globe but if this same chaos was happening 50 years ago, maybe even 30 years ago, it would spell world war. Today it doesnt. Nobody has the stomach for WWIII. The next world war will be humans against another entity. It may be WWIII but this time all of humanity will be on the same side. If you dig deep you can see that we are already prepping for it.

I will say this for those of you who dont believe a 3rd world war will ever happen, I hope it does not but????
why is Russia building 5000 new Nuclear bomb shelters through out Moscow? why has multiple famous actors and Government people built bomb shelter costing upwards of 21 million dollars in the basements of there homes? why has Fema purchased 1 Billion dollars in long term storage freeze dried foods? what happened to all of the ammo shortages and why could people not find it for the last 2 - 3 years? The afghans and Iraqi police usually use AK variants not our AR's. Why has multiple European nations and China invested billions of dollars in underground Nuclear bomb shelters some of them entire underground cities? There are a lot of other things out there like this going on that people just don't see... I hope it does not happen but why are so many Governments getting ready for it then? I encourage anyone who reads this to go look up the things I have said you can check it out in the news. there are other things that indicate it as well but its way to lengthy to explain in depth here. As with Fiat currency every so many years ( 50 - 150) the currency fails and we have 3 ways to get the economy fixed again. Currency wash - impractical, civil war and new currency - not likely to happen, or a world war will bring the currency back on line, provide jobs and get rid of excess population. Like I said I am not saying it will happen at all just pointing out what I see so please go look it up yourself and see what you think.
