US/ARAB PETRO DOLLAR DEAL IS OVER - WHAT NEXT? (NOT Card-Related) 

You don't need conspiracy theories to see the writing on the wall, but you obviously know that! Every "conspiracy" in the history of mankind has an element of truth or it wouldn't be discussed, and nobody would have anything to get defensive about. Getting debt free is the real American Dream. Get out of debt and the world is yours. But it's hard to live within your means when everything costs so much. And it also means living "poor" until your house note, etc are paid off. Easier said than done! End the Fed, bring back the Gold Standard and US manufacturing. Like yesterday. No matter what though, God takes care of His faithful people and we here in the south can survive within our own borders, no matter what happens short of a nuclear winter. We have everything we need so we WILL have leverage down here. Cattle, crops, oil and exports galore. And the men down here are farmers, ranchers, oilers, dairy men with iron grips. We aint going down for anything. "From my cold, dead hands", brother. I was just in town talking to the Chief of Police and a couple townsfolk today about it. Thinking about heading down to the co-op to talk to the farmers and ranchers about it tomorrow. Nobody knows and nobody understands how bad this could be. It's all "what if" for now, but that's our window of opportunity to protect our families, futures and finances if necessary. Lord willing this ends up being nothing at all, steps are taken to fix the situation soon and I look like a fool for posting this! God Bless!
