gwr1,
One of the main reasons that TPTB in Europe are faced with so much discontent and problems, is because they refused to allow the average joe to vote.
In other words, they prefer to "laud" it over a non-democratic society.
The U.S. has been following this path since 1913
Suggest if they (TPTB) outline the plan going forward, with sufficient reasoning as to why they think like they do, average joe is smart enough to make an educated decision, and decide what kind of a society he would prefer, and that, as far as I am concerned, is a better basis for peace and co-operation than being forced into something we have no say in.
With todays communications, sooner or later, any secrets will come to the forefront and if TPTB want harmony, they would do well to be "upfront" from day one.
Mind you, that can only happen if TPTB want to oversee some kind of a peaceful society, but imo, they will always lean towards their rulers - GREED & POWER.
So, we, the people, must remain vigilant.
Got Gold and Silver?
I will try and watch the program if I can locate it, but even Jim Rickards seems to accept the fact that we, the people, must do the eventual bidding of TPTB, and history tells us that any path designed by them, is eventually doomed to fail.
Good Luck to all!
