I was going to say! My family has been in jewelry for 5 generations, and I would hate to see the silver earring that required a $75 (2 oz) back!
Our bank freezes our credit card when we make out of the ordinary purchases all the time.
The problem is that it is always a problem when they do that because it’s when we’re traveling and need it the most. Well, they tell us that if we’re traveling we should let them know so they know to expect the purchases, but I really resent that.
I do not need my mommy’s permission to travel and lead my life the way I see fit.
I understand that they are trying to prevent fraud, and they did actually once catch someone who tried to buy airline tickets using my daughter’s stolen credit card number, but that was the ONLY time I ever had that happen personally to me in all the years we’ve had credit cards.
Preventing credit card fraud is one thing. This kind of *need their permission to do anything out of the ordinary* really chafes at me.
Yup, I can see this world being set up for an oppressive one world government which requires a mark to buy or sell, all in the name of protecting us, of course.

If your holding on to your pennies, make sure they're dated 1981 or before.
Thanks for post #36 (Ann is my kind of woman...HOORAY Ann!). Great thread. Thanks to all posters.
Perhaps Barry will “executive order” the U.S. Treasury to start printing the currency. /sarcasm
Thanks for that info. I love silver and will have to do some shopping.
I’m declaring this “Be Good to Mears Week”.
Silver is the hot item now because gold is so expensive....also it’s the current fashion statement over gold, though the die-hard gold people haven’t yet understood that....which for them we have “white” gold which looks like silver...keeps them happy.
There IS manipulation going on, but often what happens is unintended consequences rather than deliberate moves.
Not exactly...
“All across the western world, governments and major banks are rapidly becoming insolvent.”
As the Soros Brothers, their father, and the Radical Socialists all smile with glee....
“hasn’t it become painfully obvious what Obama (via Spooky dude) has in store for our financial market?”
Obama is trying to fulfill the dreams of his Communist Black Radical Mentor/Father figure Frank Marshall Davis, an NWRO/ACORN Founder George Wiley, bankrupting the nation so whitey knows what it’s like to be poor like a black man, and allowing blacks to take control through violent revolution, creating a Black-Run Communist Utopia in America.
It’s also known as “Radical Black Liberation Theology”.
You know...
It’s what Reverend Wright was teaching as Obama sat in the church he can remember nothing od for 20 years....
It should be clear to all that the world’s economy is on life support and the doctors are all ‘quacks’! Sooner or latter are the spinning plates are going to start to tumble and there is going to be on hell of a mess!
What kind of a mess you ask, well I think that we are in for something like the collapse of Argentina ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yerKMQc7-w&feature=grec_index )but on a global scale. Additionally I think we will see a much more violent version. As recent events show (Flash Mobs, UK riots, etc)we have a larger entitlement minded population and a the US has a much more violent and armed population than Argentina. I see many many small business wiped out by flash mob looting, and see rape, robbery and murder for murder sake. Many of these ‘yutes’ will think no more about killing you than most people think about stepping on a roach. That will be the test of many. Most preppers I know are Christian people and they will hesitate to do what they might have to do to stop the ‘yutes’. On the other hand the ‘yutes’ won’t think twice nor lose a minute of sleep, in fact they will smile and laugh about it.
Think of this quote which is one of my favorites:
“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Siege of AR-558 (#7.8)” (1998)
Quark: Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.
Now go look at some of the videos of the riots in the UK and of some of the flash mobs here in the US and look into there eyes.
For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpfull. You can download it at:
http://www.tomeaker.com/kart/preparedness1i.pdf
For those of you who haven’t started already it’s time to prepare almost past time maybe. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, a extra couple changes of oil and filters for your car, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.
As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”
Or as the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
NIV Proverbs 22:3
Lastly this for the doubters and the scoffers.
“There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger.
Underestimation can be fatal.”
PING!!!
I’ve known for sometime that credit card companies monitor accounts when there are multiple purchase....however to actually ‘see a bank freeze our companies computer’ screen in the very midst of a transaction... and you have no idea the bank has that capability on your machine, was alarming to me.
In that moment I could see that yes banks will control purchases even in your own companies computer systems. Quite the first hand expereince let me tell ya!
Soros has been buying up farmland around the world. Just sayin’.
PING!
Read this, only don’t be drinking anything when you do. I like her style. ;)
I ain’t worried but I am prepared.
We’re America and those weenies are going to beg us for help for the 3rd time in 100 years.
Well, except the French. They are already into us for quite a bit.
Maybe if France and Germany weren’t spending their treasure on unnecessary wars like Libya they could “feeeeehhhd the Chilhun”
