What is the “grand plan”? Does he know what the grand plan is? If anything their Grand Plan started in 1913, and had trouble and needed fixings various times since. 1934, 1945, 1964, 1971, 1981, on and on so many problems.
So my view is the grand plan ended with the crisis in 2007-8. If ANYTHING? The Central planners will turn to gold. Probably they already started stock piling Gold, and its THEM driving the prices higher. And probably them buying the dips they cause.
Eventually they need to start a new system, take in all the Gold they can get and re-back the US Dollar to Gold. Sort of like the “start over” in 1934 for WW II spending. But they won’t out law it to take it in this time, they’ll make the Official Gov’t price so high, that people who want to, will be HAPPY to turn it in at $5-$10K per ounce. All scrap jewelry and coins etc.
Then the bozo bankers can leverage it all up and start the next WW III arms race game with China?
