A FINAL CHECKLIST FOR EVERYONE
My Road to Roota analysis shows that we literally days away from the breakdown of the entire fiat monetary system and I thought it a great time to go over final preparations for the coming chaos. In the grand scheme of things you can never be fully prepared for what is about to transpire because nobody on earth has been through it before...not to this scale. I guess the closest thing we can compare it to is the experience of the Germans in the early 1920's with the Weimar Republic. Look at how quickly their currency lost value:
Compound that onto a GLOBAL SCALE and the currency in question is ALL FIAT CURRENCIES IN EVERY COUNTRY and you can get an idea of just how big this is and how fast it can happen.
Let me ask you an important question. How safe do you think ELECTRONIC ASSETS really are? I'm not that old but I can remember my first savings account and I was issued something called a "passbook" where the bank had a special stamp they put in my book to record every deposit and withdrawal I made. They also wrote it down in their ledger and signed off on the transaction. For some reason, the act of physically recording my fluctuating wealth made me feel very secure even though the access to my "wealth" was totally dependent upon the health and well being of my bank.
That was only 40 years ago. Now days EVERYTHING is done on computers. Your balance, statements, checks, withdrawals, deposits have all been turned into little 1's and 0's and stored on magnetic disks. Oh, be assured that that's all computer data storage is... 1's and 0's recorded on a storage disk. They rarely even mail statements anymore...everything is VIRTUAL.
Money is CREATED in the same way....with little 1's and 0's on magnetic discs. Convenient...yes. Durable...NO. Free from fraud...NO. Free from manipulation...NO. In the hands of the Bad Guys...YES! The fact is that computer wealth is even less reliable than paper wealth which in itself is not credible. It is not real wealth but a derivative of wealth. It is nothing but VIRTUAL WEALTH!
You might laugh at the 17th century Dutch who experienced the first recorded financial bubble bursting with Tulip Mania.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania
How could they have possibly believed that a FLOWER could take on the characteristics of money...of true wealth? Well, what do you figure those "Crazy Dutchmen" would think if we told them that we placed ALL our faith in tiny electronic 1's and 0's recorded on a magnetic disc? Who are the REAL FOOLS?
Trust in electronic wealth has turned into some kind of MASS HYSTERIA. To think that the entire world has freely placed all their wealth in these little electric blips and in the hands of those who control all the 1's and 0's. What if those 1's and 0's were to disappear one day? Gone forever? What would you REALLY own then? Would you kick yourself for buying into the MASS HYSTERIA when it cracks?
I guarantee you that our little experiment with "VIRTUAL WEALTH" is going to end very badly...and very soon!
Let's talk about different scenarios of how these 1's and 0's can be erased from this world.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCENARIO 1 - The EMP(Electro Magnetic Pulse)
When I started writing this article a few days ago I found a VERY interesting article posted in the USA Today about the potential of an EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) going off over the US:
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2010-10-26-emp_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip
I have talked a few times about this in past Friday Road Trips but having this article run so close to the coming financial implosion makes me wonder if SOMEONE may be trying to tell us something. Imagine if a large EMP hit the States. We are not just talking about "the grid" as the article suggests but rather EVERYTHING that is run by electronic blips including cars, gas pumps, food delivery and of course ALL OUR MODERN ELECTRONIC ASSETS such as bank deposits, 401k's, ETF's...I can go on and on.
The fragility of our VIRTUAL lifestyle is massively underestimated. One big solar flare and we are TOAST. Back to horse and buggy days instantly.
Of course, as I am writing this I snuck over to www.spaceweather.com to see if anything was percolating up on that big ball of fire in the sky and the first article I see is....
Wednesday 10/27/2010: A BIG SUNSPOT GETS BIGGER: "Behemoth sunspot 1117 is not merely growing, it is transmogrifying. Since yesterday, the shape-shifting sunspot has developed a "beta-gamma" magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. Any such eruptions will likely be geoeffective because the sunspot is almost-squarely facing Earth. Readers with solar telescopes are encouraged to monitor developments."
Although this "Behemoth sunspot" has since released it's energy AWAY from the earth, a direct hit of something this size would surely wreak havoc on our "high tech" electronic way of life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCENARIO 2 - The Super Computer Virus
Do we really have to have a natural disaster to totally erase all those little electronic blips from our financial system? According to George Ure over at www.urbansurvival.com the latest Super Computer Virus could do virtually the same thing!
The virus is called STUXNET and a description of it can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet
The big mystery behind this virus is WHO could have possibly spent the many years and many man hours to put together such an elaborate program. Mr. Ure tends to lean towards what he and Clif High call the PTB or "Powers That Be". At the Road to Roota Letters I like to call them the "Bad Guys".
But what if this super virus wasn't the work of the Bad Guys...but the GOOD GUYS?! What if this is the FINAL END GAME of the long term implementation plans originally hatched up by Alan Greenspan and Stephen Devaux that is the premise of the Road to Roota Theory?
http://www.roadtoroota.com/public/190.cfm
In my mind there are certain correlations that have sparked my interest down this line (road) of thinking. I have long suspected that Warren Buffett was working with the good guys (http://www.roadtoroota.com/public/243.cfm) but what about his close friend and confidant...BILL GATES?! They often spend hours talking about business and macroeconomic issues...much the way that Warren Buffet's father, Senator Howard Buffet, would talk to Warren at the dinner table when he was growing up. Howard Buffett battled the banking cabal for many years but was never able to achieve his ultimate goal of returning the United States to a fully backed Gold Standard. Here's an excerpt from what this amazing man said in the US Congress:
Human Freedom Rests on Gold Redeemable Money
By HON. HOWARD BUFFETT U. S. Congressman from Nebraska (1948)
IS TIME PROPITIOUS
Most opponents of free coinage of gold admit that that restoration is essential, but claim the time is not propitious. Some argue that there would be a scramble for gold and our enormous gold reserves would soon be exhausted. Actually this argument simply points up the case. If there is so little confidence in our currency that restoration of gold coin would cause our gold stocks to disappear, then we must act promptly.
The danger was recently highlighted by Mr. Allan Sproul, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, who said:
"Without our support (the Federal Reserve System), under present conditions, almost any sale of government bonds, undertaken for whatever purpose, laudable or otherwise, would be likely to find an almost bottomless market on the first day support was withdrawn."
Our finances will never be brought into order until Congress is compelled to do so. Making our money redeemable in gold will create this compulsion.
The paper money disease has been a pleasant habit thus far and will not be dropped voluntarily any more than a dope user will without a struggle give up narcotics. But in each case the end of the road is not a desirable prospect. I can find no evidence to support a hope that our fiat paper money venture will fare better ultimately than such experiments in other lands. Because of our economic strength the paper money disease here may take many years to run its course.
But we can be approaching the critical stage. When that day arrives, our political rulers will probably find that foreign war and ruthless regimentation is the cunning alternative to domestic strife. That was the way out for the paper-money economy of Hitler and others.
In these remarks I have only touched the high points of this problem. I hope that I have given you enough information to challenge you to make a serious study of it.
I warn you that politicians of both parties will oppose the restoration of gold, although they may outwardly seemingly favor it. Also those elements here and abroad who are getting rich from the continued American inflation will oppose a return to sound money. You must be prepared to meet their opposition intelligently and vigorously. They have had 15 years of unbroken victory.
But, unless you are willing to surrender your children and your country to galloping inflation, war and slavery, then this cause demands your support. For if human liberty is to survive in America, we must win the battle to restore honest money.
There is no more important challenge facing us than this issue -- the restoration of your freedom to secure gold in exchange for the fruits of your labors.

To Warren Buffett there was no greater man in the world than his father and he has made it one of his life's goals to finish his father's business. Those who claim that Buffett has "lost it" with all his recent comments are not seeing the big picture. He hasn't lost it but rather he is suckering EVERYONE in (and away from gold) so the wealth re-distribution after the big crash is more equitable. Eventually, Buffet will throw himself on the derivative sword to make sure the fiat monetary system implodes fully and finally this time.
To continue...
So is it too far fetched to imagine that Buffet and Gates would talk of monetary policy and/or the return to sound money over their long philosophical discussions about macroeconomics? I don't think so.
Here's some clues as to their penchant for monetary metals. Both Buffett and Gates were investors in SILVER back in the early 2000's. Buffett with 120M oz of physical and Gates with a large ownership position in Pan American Silver (PAAS). Both sold out of their silver positions about the same time. Both have given away 1/2 their gigantic fortunes to charities and have urged other rich folks to do the same. What did they know about the coming destruction of fiat money? Did they try to do some good with all that money before it became WORTHLESS FIAT PAPER?
Still with me? Along this line it struck me that the STUXNET computer virus is a "Windows-based" virus. Could Bill Gates have been recruited by the Good Guys (via Warren Buffet) to create and implant this virus around the world such that they could "pull the plug" on the fiat monetary system when they were ready? This angle may have legs but it is way out of my area of expertise.
But there is one more thing that hits right to the heart of the Road to Roota early days and the first "Implementer" of the original market rigging programs - Stephen Devaux. This is from the Original Road to Roota article:
