Question:
Why is Gold so low when currently a large new demand for gold exists in Jewelry, electronics products, and other items needing gold? For example, Pakistan, India, China, South Korea, and other Asian coun- tries are moving to gold possession in jewelry as their currencies weaken.
- Because, central banks have secretly been, for over ten years, loaning gold to investors at 81% lease rate.
- Investors sell the gold to market, gambling that gold with drop even further.
- And, with the gold going down, they buy it back at a lower price.
- Then, the investors replace the gold they bought with cheaper gold and make a hugh profit with the lower price gold recently purchased from the central banks.
What this all does is drive the price of gold further down as the central banks "sell" it off. They are not dumb! They know what they are doing: causing gold to drop in value and price before the big gold panic of 1998 strikes and they can make a killing too.
Now, here's the difficulty: The gold lease rate is the highest it has ever been in history! What does this mean? Simply, the worlds central bankers know that a gold panic is imminent. And what does a gold panic mean; it means that world currencies may devalue even more as gold skyrockets in price--that's what it means. Because there'll be a rush to gold.
And here's the reasons why:
- When the least rates go up, it means lower profits for gold borrowers.
- With the gold lease rates at 81%, less gold can afford to be borrowed, except by the very, very wealthy, and then sold to market. By this very action, less gold is available to the market. Yet, the demand is up.
- Therefore, those who need the gold for exacting electronic parts, such as computer circuit boards, embedded chips, or other industrial buyers of gold for necklesses and jewelry, cause the price to go up since they have to have it inorder to stay in business.
With the supply down--mining companies are not producing as much for one; and it is a very tedious process to mind gold, then the price of gold rises since the damand is very high now.
- Gold investors knowing this (knowing that gold must rise in price soon, are literally pushed into this market climate to buy now, before the gold price shoots through the ceiling; or they will be buying high and selling it back high and making little or no profit. Simply put: They must replace the borrowed gold now before the gold market price skyrockets.
You have three things working to drive the price of gold up:
- Rising Lease Rates
- Increasing Consummer Demand
- Gold Investors Needing Gold
Question:
What is inflation? The government says we have no inflation, however, they now use a different definition than they once did. Everyone thinks inflation is "rising prices." That is a symptom of inflation.
Here's how it works: Once, in America--around the 1800s, everyone, and in the world knew that inflation was the printing of more money. Yes, that's right, more dollars, more Deutchmarks, pounds, Yen, you name it. An increase in the money units of exchange meant and was defined as inflation.
However, as times changed in the world, so did the definition of inflation, but the actual facts events didn't. That is, when governments print more money, the value of that money goes down. And when the value of that money goes down, prices must go up in order to com- pensate for the drop in the value of money. Simply put: In order to get the same value of money that is now worth less, you must charge more to get more dollars to equal what less dollars once had in buying power.
We export our inflation abroad. We also hide it in the Consumer Price Index. This is a means by which the U.S. attempts to quantify the prices consumers pay for things. Are they going up...or down...or holding? That is always the question.
By now, if you have been reading these pages and subscribing to the newsletters we recommend, you know that the average citizen is paying too much for stocks. That's right! The stocks are inflated! Also, more than ever in the history of the U.S. stock market, over 74% of Americans are invested there. They have their savings, their retirements, their schemes, etc. They are even borrowing on their credit cards to invest in mutual funds. WOW! A plan for disaster. And the American citizen has the highest bankruptcy rate ever.
But...and here's the rub... the CPI does not include the price of stocks! Get it! Practically all America is invested in stocks and mutual funds. They are overpriced. Yet, Mr. & Mrs. U.S.A do not realize they are in an inflationary economy because of the CPI and the way our government does the tally.
Fractional Demoninational Gold Pieces:
There are four characteristics of money:
- It must be divisible.
- It must have high value in relation to its volume and weight.
- There must be recognizability, and ...
- It must have transportability. What money may lack for in recognizability, it is readily made up for in demand.
Gold satisfies all these requirements. For portability, we recommend fractional gold pieces, especially for barter on small items but larger than that for which you would barter for with your silver.
Follow the advice given above for gold and silver purchases, but also get 1/4 ounce gold coins, non-bullion, such as the $5 dollar American gold piece. However, this piece cost around $128 per coin. Earlier mintages cost approximately $163 per coin.
We thus recommend the non-bullion Argentina coin, containing 1/4 ounce gold, same as the U. S. five-dollar gold coin, but cost only $90 per coin. You can get these from Investment Rarieties, Inc. Ask for Ellen Petty--1-800-328-1860.
Get as many as you can afford. You will need this fractional denomination when things heat up. You don't want to be flashing $20 U.S Gold Pieces, such as Augustus Saint Guadens or Liberties.

| What Devaluing The Currency Means |
Thailand, Indonesia, Taipan, South Korea, Greece, Brazil, Russia, and as of this writing tonight (01/12/98), our sources say China is considering to, or will devalue their currency.
- When the above countries devalue their currencies, this makes their goods cheaper in the U.S. and Europe.
- This means goods and raw products cost less with devalued currency to manufacture, and you pay cheaper wages.
- You devalue a currency by having the central banks print more money, make notations in bank entries, computer blips on a screen, and half a dozen or more ways to create more money. When you have more money, you have inflated the currency.
- Now, the glut of cheaper goods flowing into the U.S. will create severe competition for U.S. manufacturers. These firms will storm Washington, D.C. They will scream three things:
- You levy trade restrictions, which Washington won't do; or,
- Devalue the dollar to raise prices of imported goods.
- When you devalue the dollar, you (the Federal Reserve, which is our Central Bank) injects more money into the system.
- More money means prices rise.
- This means more money in circulation to buy more goods, means goods go up in price.
- But, if the market crashes, you have bank runs, which implies you must inflate (print more money) currency, but the U.S Bureau of Engraving and Printing can't do it fast enough because of physical limitations. That's the way the system is set up. In other words, most "currency" is in the form of checks, CDs, computer blips, etc. The Feds can't cover all this with real money.
- ...and what do you want in Bank Runs? Physical cash, you know, that stuff that is green with some old dead president's picture or statesmen on it; and copper clad coins.
- Do the above, or expect huge layoffs and unemployment.
Are you prepared for whatever they do? Do you have food-storage; Gold and Silver Coins; Cash on hand; and copper-clad coins? See more on this site for how to survive in good shape for The Coming Chastisement.

GOLD CERTIFICATES may be identified by the words "GOLD CERTIFICATE" appearing thereon. The serial number and the Treasury seal on the face of a GOLD CERTIFICATE are printed in YELLOW. Be careful not to confuse GOLD CERTIFICATES with other issues which are redeemable in gold but are not GOLD CERTIFICATES.
