The one world currency and the Gold Certificate Ratio as Sinclair has outlined will probably happen. It was recently reported that Volcker stated, "Gold is the enemy". Don't know if he did say that or not but I'm sure that's how politicans view gold. This Gold Certificate Ratio will "neutralize gold" and thus Gold would no longer be a nuisance to the politicians and more so, those really in power. At that time it will not serve any real purpose for the common man to own gold. IMO.
