 What Did J.P. Morgan Mean  |
| The following exchange occurred on December 18, 1912 when J.P. Morgan – the most influential American financier and banker of his time – was called to testify before Congress.
Mr Untermyer:
I want to ask you a few questions bearing on the subject that you have touched upon this morning, as to the control of money. The control of credit involves a control of money, does it not?
Mr Morgan:
A control of credit? No.
Mr Untermyer:

| This article was originally published by Anonymous Financial Guy at The Organic Prepper
In this economic climate, lots of folks are wondering how to protect their money. Some people are forced to invest in retirement funds by their employers, others play the market, some invest on their own, and nearly everyone has checking and savings accounts. But when the amount of money you have goes beyond something you could live off for a month or two, how do you deal with it wisely while minimizing yourWednesday, February 7, 2018 |

| It's Looking A Lot Like 2008 Now... |
| Economic and market conditions are eerily like they were in late 2007/early 2008.
Remember back then? Everything was going great.
Home prices were soaring. Jobs were plentiful.
The great cultural marketing machine was busy proclaiming that a new era of permanent prosperity had dawned, thanks to the steady leadership of Alan Greenspan and later Ben Bernanke.
And only a small cadre of cranks, like me, was singing a different tune; warning instead that a painful reckoning in our financial system wTuesday, February 6, 2018 |

| Protect Your Savings With Gold: ECB Propose End To Deposit Protection |
| It is the ‘opinion of the European Central Bank’ that the deposit protection scheme is no longer necessary:
‘covered deposits and claims under investor compensation schemes should be replaced by limited discretionary exemptions to be granted by the competent authority in order to retain a degree of flexibility.’
To translate the legalese jargon of the ECB bureaucrats this could mean that the current €100,000 (£85,000) deposit level currently protected in the event of a bail-in may soon be no morWednesday, November 15, 2017 |

Although it’s your money, the EU wants to Freeze Accounts to Prevent Runs at Failing Banks.
European Union states are considering measures which would allow them to temporarily stop people withdrawing money from their accounts to prevent bank runs, an EU document reviewed by Reuters revealed.

| 4 Charts Show Gold May Be Heading Much Higher |
| by Alex Rosenberg of CNBC
Gold just hit its highest level since election night, and some see more upside ahead for the precious metal.
Gold experienced “a textbook breakout from a symmetrical triangle or wedge,” Rich Ross, technical analyst with Evercore ISI, said Tuesday on CNBC’s “Power Lunch.”
“That’s quite bullish,” Ross added.
He also pointed out that gold’s 50-day moving average has broken above its 200-day moving average, which is commonly seen as a sign of accelerating momentum.

| Whereas most bank clients accepted a bail-in as one of the risks associated with depositing cash on a bank account, Italy doesn’t seem to be too sure about forcing its banks to do so.
We all know the never-ending issues related to Banca Monte Dei Paschi, but that bank wasn’t Italy’s only problem. Two smaller banks, Banco Popolare di Vicenza and Vento Banca also need to be rescued.

When a fuse burned out, it was protecting you from the risk of a house fire. Each circuit is designed for only so much current. The problem is that higher current causes more heat, and it can start a fire. So they put fuses in, which burn out bMonday, March 27, 2017 |

Editor’s Comment: Though the various governments at play prefer to emphasize how cash would cut down on crime and terrorism, they overlook the true source of funding and facilitation for those activities. The real motive is to beat back independence, and force the future comply with real-time tracking of all their activities; have only authorized vendors and points of purchase, and to monitor all behavior.
