When Coventry League writes about the plummeting purchasing power of the federal reserve note (aka the US dollar) because of the private, for-profit, partly foreign operative controlled1Allegedly. central bank (the FED)’s massive and ongoing printing/creation of dollars out of thin air, people eventually begin to listen and take prudent action to become their own central banks:
- Patriots increased their purchases of physical gold bullion (in this instance, American Eagle gold coins from the US Mint) by 40% year-over-year through May.

Opinions of James Rickards
In a recent post, we quoted from one of James Rickards’ books titled Death of Money. In early May, Rickards had this to say in an interview with Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog.com:
Rickards says the minimum gold price is $15,000 per ounce in the not-so-distant future. Rickards says depending on the backing and math, it could go up in value much higher. Rickards likes silver, too, and food for the common guy. Food prices are going to go much higher according to Rickards, and in some places in the world, he expects out right starvation.

Peter Schiff reiterates what Coventry League stated about the Fed’s purchasing of Treasuries:
“Absent Fed buying, interest rates will have to continue to skyrocket in order to entice people to buy all of the Treasuries necessary to finance government spending. The government cannot afford to have its borrowing costs increase…
In April, the CPI was 8.3% on an annual basis. That means the Fed needs to raise rates to over 8.3% just to get the real rate to zero. And that’s using the cooked government CPI formula that understates inflation.”
