So if one part of its goes down, it's like a major car wreck occurring on one section of the interstate highway system not affecting other parts. Agree. It's not a global outage as the thread title suggests. I imagine local areas may be affected by some local failure. I guess some IT guy simply needs to unplug a router and wait thirty seconds to plug it back in then. Perfect response. Someone, somewhere, is testing the resiliency of the financial network(s). Yesterday, the Fed was DOWN. Today, Visa and Mastercard were DOWN in places. At some point soon, before countermeasures and backups can be deployed, the real strike is going to take place. And the targets ain't coming back up for a LONG, DARK time. Freelance Superhero with only a minor personality disorder. All my other personalities are just fine, thanks. Ignore him, no we aren't.

Precious metals are not for when SHTF. That's when you want guns, ammo, booze... But at some point, even if it takes years, the gold and silver will still be precious metals with great worth. |

User ID: 79949893 United States 02/26/2021 07:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Customers at McDonald's, Ikea, Popeyes, and others say they can't pay using their credit cards. The payments processor Fiserv said its services were interrupted on Friday. Earlier in the day, Chick-fil-A experienced an outage and gave out free meals. Visit the Business section of Insider for more stories. Businesses across the US are accepting only cash as their credit-card payments systems are down. Fiserv, one of the leading payments providers in the US, told Insider, "A widespread internet service provider outage has impacted multiple businesses today." Ann Cave, a company spokesperson, added in an email: "Some Fiserv services that rely on internet connectivity were interrupted. The majority have been restored and we are fully focused on restoring the remainder." Fiserv declined to name its internet service provider. Customers on Twitter reported outages at Ikea, Forever 21, McDonald's, and Popeyes, as well as at local places like a car wash and the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. Representatives from the businesses weren't immediately available for comment on Friday. [link to www.yahoo.com (secure)] |

If you look at history, precious metals are needed just after people stop believing in paper money (hyperinflation). The precious metals are only good for as long as they are legal to be owned, and before a new currency has been created. It could be different this time around because of prolonged civil wars, and world wars, in which case you'll need precious metals for buying your goods on the black market. Any way about, you should always keep 10% of your savings in physical precious metals. Never keep all your eggs in one basket. You should also used at least 4 banks, because if they limit withdrawals, you'll have 4 wells to go to, instead of just 1. Keep you options open. |

Do you accept crypto/cash, or just metal and ammo? At present I have no possible chance to really do what I described. I figure my only form of payment in this scenario will be a barter system. I figure during this scenario the Illuminati's various fiat currencies will be better used as heating fuel than as money of any kind. I would suggest at least some bricks of as many Illuminati currency be saved strictly as "Lessons From the Past" type of thing. One bit being, "See?! We ain't lying, boys and girls!" for future history classes. Conspiracy Theorist is nothing more than a derogatory title used to dismiss a critical thinker.

Depends on whether you have actual physical precious metals or paper certificates supposedly backed by them. I remember in the late 70s I lived in Mexico. The peso was a silver coin and the value of the metal in the coin was greater than the market value of a peso, which led to people melting them down into bars or turning them into earrings and necklaces to sell for a considerable profit, until the government stepped in and pulled them from circulation, replacing the peso with a plated cardboard "new peso". Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. |
