Words from Jim Sinclair
I have been following Jim Sinclair’s writings for years. He has focused on the gold market as a means to protect your wealth. He often talks in somewhat coded language. This is by far his strongest, direct warning to prepare. Please take heed.
My suggestion for those who have not yet done so is to 1) secure a source for clean water. That may be as simple as several good water filters. Remember, wells will not work without electricity. City water? Don’t count on it. 2) get a food supply set aside. This is a long discussion, however I suggest some food grade buckets, mylar bags, wheat, rice and beans (don’t forget baking supplies such as baking soda and baking powder)- dried fruits, canned goods, etc. etc.
Now it the time. At best I believe we have a couple of years before some kind of dislocation happens. I’ll say it again – now is the time. Are you ready?
The System Has Failed

Dear CIGAs,
The system has failed. It failed the day that Lehman Brothers was flushed.
There is a financial condition of an ocean of liquidity making the broken remains of a failed financial system in the Western world opaque.
There is no future failure coming. What is coming is a mass realization that exposes the fact there is no functioning system under all this liquidity. It is a sharp contraction in confidence that lies down the road. Realize this and know that there is one more step you need to make.
Having the largest pile of gold and silver without considering one more step might make you a modern Midas.
There is more to insurance than simply financial. Shortages of goods and services will occur because of currency induced cost push inflation resulting in dislocations of the organization and compensation in the distribution functions. That means there could be ample food in the system but little available on the shelf of your local market.
Because of the ill-understood world shaping changes in the Middle East, the impact of “Peak Oil” on price has been sharply accelerated. Public utilities considered now as a human right will prove themselves to be privileges. Expectation of power on a constant basis will become a hollow expectation.
If you do not have the experience of living in India and Africa in the 80s, you have no idea of how to live in a Western World experiencing long term currency induced cost push inflation. Self reliance will become as important as your holdings in gold. To have a huge pile of gold but remain totally dependent on the infrastructure of the Western World system is a serious mistake. You would have substantial capital but lack goods and services to buy. You will be able to afford much, but much will be either in short supply or illegal.
You know more about what is occurring than 99% of investors.
You are the 1% that knows the SYSTEM HAS FAILED.
You are the 1% that knows the system failed the minute Lehman Brothers was flushed.
You are the 1% not looking for some failure in the future but know there is no system below the flood of liquidity.
You are the 1% that has been exposed to the concept of currency induced cost push.
You are the 1% that can understand the future.
Please be that 1% that is not seduced by your profits and fails to take the last step to the best degree they can.
The picture above is another aspect of Sunnyfield’s Farm. It is one of two 20KW generators powered by a marine diesel engine. There is a special fuel filter system custom designed that allows this engine to run on low grade heating oil. There is at all times 14,000 gallons of fuel buried. This fuel is diesel, heating oil and gasoline. This is at best a short-term answer to the predictable failure of fossil fuel electric generation. The longer term solution is wind power banking batteries and a converter.
I will walk you through everything that I have done in hopes that you might use it as a model to improve on.
Regards,
Jim
Outlook U.S.A. 2011-2014
Download this 20+ page analysis on what may unfold in the United States over the next four years. It is the foundational document for this site as we track our progress through this critical period in history.
Get ready for the battle
We are now officially entering into the next critical series of disruptions that will shape this nation’s future. The combination of political unrest and economic turmoil that is coming in the next 12 to 36 months will be of the kind that is unprecedented in modern times. There are only two other periods in this nation’s history that are comparable. Neither were times of peace.
There is a confluence of events occurring that, depending on the magnitude of each, will determine just how rocky our future path to liberty – or increased tyranny – will be.
They are:
1) Political turmoil. The Republican establishment has officially “lost it” over Christine O’Donnell’s victory in Delaware. They tolerated Rand Paul and Sharon Angle. But O’Donnell is too much for them. So far the Republican establishment refuses to acknowledge the Tea Party (which is really only made up of true, old style conservatives and libertarians) as a constituency that they need to include in their “big tent.” That is problematic enough.
However, if they join the Democrats in marginalizing the Tea Party patriots and demonizing them, they risk the wrath of the one group of Americans who are bent on restoring limited government and liberty once again to this nation – by any means necessary. While there is no talk of open revolt at this time within the mainstream Tea Party, it is being whispered in private by more people than they care to admit. If these people do not find the Republican party willing to give them a voice, in 2012 they will form a third party. If they are ruthlessly attacked in 2012 while simultaneously growing in membership by the month, then the whispers move to action. We pray it does not move to that outcome, however right now it looks more likely by the week.
2) The economy. It is only a matter of time before the sovereign debt crisis envelopes the globe. This may happen in 6 months or 2 years, but come it will. With an economy that is in deep depression, the Federal government will feel all the more emboldened to step in and control everything. This just when the Tea Party is dedicated to get government out of everything other than what the Constitution delegates. See the problem? Bad economy, government growing more tyrannical (for the nation’s good of course), and increasing push back from freedom loving patriots. We have a volatile mix.
3) Energy crisis. Simultaneously we have a looming energy crisis. China knows it. Germany knows it (their military published a paper outlining concerns over a depleting global energy supply). The United States may know it, but refuses to deal with it. Make no mistake, wars will be fought over energy if it becomes either scarce (Peak Oil) or more expensive (geopolitical crisis – Israel/Iran war).
4) The next Great Awakening. this is probably the most significant of all. The Christian community is waking up. Slowly. More slowly than I’d like to see, however, they are. I have heard more messages of repentance, standing against tyranny, standing for God’s truth, and education of our Christian heritage, being preached in the last 6 months than at any time in my lifetime. If there is another Great Awakening, we only need to look at history to see what followed.
As the light pushes into the darkness, the darkness does not give up easily. Increasing persecution will accompany Christians who dare to speak against the pop culture and re-assert “no King but King Jesus.” The result of such proclamations in the past was nothing short of war. First the Revolutionary War, then the Southern States’ War for Independence (aka the Civil War). Along the way, Christians will make mistakes. Burning the Koran is one in particular that may serve to move the conflicts we are dealing with now from a nation vs. nation conflict to a religious one. Many would argue that the war on terror has always been a religious war. I’ll refrain from my thoughts on the justification for this war and say that while that assertion may be true, it is more manageable if it is framed as a conflict among nations. It makes the conflict much less emotional than if it is openly declared a religious war. The latter would bring very unpredictable consequences.
Americans refusing to acknowledge this set of realities and prepare for some very difficult times will be caught in a vortex of exploding reality. The current world view of most Americans, that being a U.S. dominated global community, is going to be shattered within three years, possibly much sooner. In the wake of that explosion, God’s Word will be the only guide that will take us through the resulting turmoil.
I do hold out hope that, by God’s grace, we have the only government whereby we can transition from today’s paradigm to the new one without going through the worst case scenario. However, I am also a realist. God’s judgment is overdue on this nation, and we may have to endure it in order to be purified from the horrendous national sin we have fallen into.
Give all you can to the effort to avoid the kind of conflict history shows us is around the corner. At the same time, make your final preparations to go through it. We have no guarantee, or even likelihood that it can be avoided.

Generations to reclaim freedom – do you believe yet?
Never in our lifetimes has it been so important for Christians to understand what is directly in front of us. In fact, it has been many generations since we have faced the challenges that now lie directly ahead of us.
You see, during the Great Depression, we were asked to suffer through economic hardship brought about after reckless malinvestment based on easy credit and the Fed’s first experiment with the limits of their newly born, yet not mature, fiat money system. The Civil War brought the horrors of war to within our borders. The war was engaged because of deep differences in political ideology on a number of issues, including but not exclusively slavery.
Today, we are moving in the direction of experiencing both of these very difficult circumstances – civil war and economic hardship – simultaneously. We have but a few weeks, maybe as much as a few months, before economic reality begins to set in to the markets. That being the “recovery” that wasn’t, isn’t. I believe that at the current pace of escalation, we have at most three years before some type of Fort Sumtner event happens that could lead to a major outbreak of violence.
I know that some, if not many, readers who have followed this blog for years are not comfortable with my recent observations on the state of the union and its direction. I’m sorry, but I simply cannot water down what is out there in plain sight. In my opinion,
iacta alea est
The die has been cast.
Outside of a supernatural movement of God, the options that are available for resolution of our present situation are becoming very limited. Our present situation being the clash between those who are sprinting to the finish line, trying to secure a “progressive/socialist” United States that will be folded into the New World Order, and those that simply refuse to let that happen without a fight.
My prayer has been, and continues to be, that this battle will remain in the political arena and be fought at the ballot box. However as the tactics used by the progressives become more dictatorial, those who are willing to fight for their freedom are faced with a choice – continue to be backed into an ever darker corner, or begin to signal that their retreat has about reached its limits.
Today, we are seeing that those ready to fight for their freedom are beginning to send their signals. Bricks through windows. Phone threats. Even an alleged shot fired at a Republican Congressman’s office. What the main stream media does not understand is that these are the cries from an abused population. They are warnings given to the oppressors that they are reaching a point of no return. It is one of their last cries for help.
Yet the mainstream media paints these events as the stuff of extremists and domestic terrorists. In fact, there are tens of millions of Americans who can relate to those who committed these acts of desperation while not condoning their actions. They see it as similar to a physically abused child who punches another child during recess or an emotionally abused wife that wrecks the car her husband cherishes more than her. The authorities won’t help, so what are they to do to get people’s attention? What is more, as the months go on, the situation is likely to get even more confusing.
The progressives (including our President), who are disciples of Saul Alinsky, are now fully engaged in Alinsky’s “8th rule of ethics of means and ends.” This is from his book Rules for Radicals, and it reads “the morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.”
The progressives see imminent victory in front of them. Literally decades of waiting to “fundamentally transform the United States” (Barak Obama on the campaign trail days before the election) is over. Or so they believe. Thus, the kind of dictatorial, no-holes-barred tactics you saw last week to pass health care are justified. It matters not the political, economic or social cost. The ends in this case justify the means because they see victory as imminent. It’s straight out of their playbook.
With this rule fully in effect, I expect nothing short of a continuation of these tactics. Look for amnesty for illegal immigrants to be forced upon the American people over the next few months. Doing so would help the progressives to secure what they feel will be a permanent majority of progressive voters in this nation. Look for increases in “violent attacks” on progressive leadership’s buildings and property. And while some of them will be coming from those who are in that dark corner, many will come from the progressives themselves. That’s right. Crimes progressives denounce as “barbaric and violent” will be perpetrated by themselves in order to demonize their opponents as they can claim the high moral ground. If you think that is rank speculation, you don’t remember what happened in Denver prior to the election. When Democratic offices there had windows broken, it was discovered that the person who did it was, you guessed it, a progressive. Hush hush.
So while this interesting time in history plays out, the Christian community is going to be tested at its very core. They are going to be asked to see through the radical’s tactics and find the truth about what is really happening and who is behind it. They will need to decide – what are appropriate responses to tyranny? What is the appropriate response to oppression? What is the appropriate response to the tactics of a relativistic application of the idea that “the ends justifies the means?”
Tough questions. We need a dialogue. I’ll talk about this on my Blogtalkradio program next Monday at 9 PM CST. We’d better start wrestling with these issues now. The time is soon coming when you will have to choose. Sides will have to be taken. For those of you who say you will remain neutral, inaction and “neutrality” are, and throughout history have always been, tacit approval of the aggressor’s actions. In questions of ethics, freedom, liberty and tyranny, there is no neutrality. Get ready to make your choice. Future generations’ lives will be determined by what you decide.
Continue to rework the grid.
As the health care debate comes down to the wire, it should be nothing short of obvious to Christians that what we are facing is a form of evil that this nation hasn’t had to face in its history. Our forefathers have fought many a war against enemies that were power hungry, corrupt and evil, yet none pose a challenge quite like what we are seeing today.
In case it isn’t obvious, however, let me help clear some fog.
With a very clear majority of the people of this nation saying loudly that the current health care takeover is not what they want, the power mad folks in congress continue to march ahead with the “nuclear” and “slaughter” options. Do you think God just might have a message in this? The names given to the methods our “leaders” are using to pass this hideous legislation are more accurate to what can happen if passed than 97% of the people in this nation realize.
People are not thinking through the logical conclusion of this legislation, nor its unintended consequences. Let’s look at two possible scenarios…
Imagine a day when a loved one is stricken with cancer. You go to the doctor and are given a list of options for your treatment. Because of age, social status, previous health history, etc. – the most effective options are not presented to you. Fine, you say. I’ll opt for some unconventional treatments which have a great track record of success. Wrong – they have long since been made illegal. I’ll go south of the boarder for treatment. Wrong – new treaties are in place which would prohibit you from doing so. Your options are to a) die slowly over the next few months or b) die quickly as you prepare to be euthanized.
Or, say, your child falls and breaks their arm and you go to the doctor for treatment. The government launches an investigation and discovers that your child broke their arm while jumping on a trampoline you have had for the past 7 or 8 years. Because it is larger than the government allows, and because it does not have a net, you are required to pay a fine of $5,000. Your family is put on a government watch list as being negligent parents and you find yourself “on probation.” If another child gets hurt using a non-government approved device, they will come and take your children away from you “for their safety.” Child number two gets hurt. Up the driveway comes Child Protective Services – oh yes, by the way, now with the authority of the UN Rights of The Child Treaty behind them.
Any person who does not believe that the above scenarios are not only possible, but in some form or another probable under a government run health care system of the future, is simply not willing to face reality. The freedom such a plan would rob from them to make decisions over the most intimate aspects of their life – their health – and the ability of the government to control the makeup of the land they live on, the products they buy, the tools they use, etc. – is immeasurable. My message to them – wake up. Many are. And that is why this is such a critical issue.
The people of this nation who dearly love their freedom have awakened. They are a percentage of the population greater than the elite bargained for. The elite believed they had a majority of Americans dumbed down, their understanding of history and love for freedom had died (or so they thought). They believed they had the vast majority of Americans dumbed down into thinking our nation is a democracy, where 51% gets to tell the other 49% what to do, think, say, eat, feel, buy and believe. They thought that those two “victories” would allow them to strike the final blow to our Constitution and our way of life, paving the way for the New World Order.
They were wrong.
While it is true, most Americans were asleep and off chasing the materialism enabled by our dishonest monetary system, sleep is a very different thing than being dead. Ask anyone who has stumbled upon a bear in hibernation or come upon any other wild animal when the animal did not expect it. They can become ferocious very quickly.
And that people, is why this health care legislation is so dangerous. The asleep have awakened. They see that health care is but one of a growing number of threats to their way of life. And that way of life, which was focused on material things, is slowing refocusing on an object in the distance that they had lost sight of. Freedom.
Health care is now the prod that the elite are unwittingly using to jab at the awakened animal – Americans who actually value freedom over the perceived security of the welfare state. They do not understand that this animal, at least a significant number of those that make it up, will fight their way back to that distant object and will in fact die in an effort to reclaim it for them and their posterity. The elite thought those people simply no longer existed.
Here is the reality. Whether or not you agree with that small percentage of the American population that make up this animal, 2%, 3%, 5%, 10%? who will literally fight to the death to reclaim freedom – whether or not you join them, stand against them, or remain passively by in an attempt to remain “neutral” – you will not be exempt from the consequences if it gets that far.
Do the math. One million private citizens standing for freedom at whatever the cost will mean a long, difficult and bloody struggle. It would not leave a life untouched in this country.
So, once again – deal with reality or it will deal with you. If you are not doing everything in your power to stop the evil coming from Washington. If you are not on your knees, crying out to God for mercy. If you are not calling your family, friends and church into repentance for the many sins of our nation…
Be careful. The consequences of doing nothing has never been greater.
Silencing of Christians gains momentum
Question. Why did the “hate crimes law” pass last year? Was it to protect a certain class of people, such as homosexuals or minorities? That is the answer that most conservative pundits want you to believe. That however is not the answer.
The purpose was to take another giant step toward silencing Christians.
In both 2007 and 2008, between 1.3 and 1.4 million violent crimes were committed. Out of those crimes, less than 300 each year were found to be motivated by sexual orientation.
Tell me – is there a need for this law? Not for the reasons given.
Now, let’s look at the provisions in the law. Under previous law, people who committed violent crimes were held accountable for their actions and, if found guilty of the crime, sent to jail. That is the way it should be. I do not condone violence against anyone, regardless of their lifestyle.
However, with the “hate crimes” law, the door has been opened to go here in the United States where they have gone in other countries, including Canada. That is, the law will work its way through the courts and “case law” will establish that those “guilty” of committing any violent crime against a favored group will be expanded to include anyone who’s speech may have contributed to the actions of the person committing the crime. Ah ha. There it is.
If you simply look at who the law is designed to protect, you can see who it is the law is targeting. In this case, the target has squarely been placed on the chest of fundamental Christians. The passing of the law alone will have a chilling effect on what is said regarding homosexuality, transgenders, and any other morally corrupt lifestyle.
Count on it. If we do not stop this madness and return to a constitutionally sound exposition of the rule of law and the individual liberties it is designed to protect, we will in short order be told “do not preach in His name.” What then will happen? Will today’s church leaders have the courage to do as Peter and John did?
For the vast majority, I seriously doubt it. As evidence, how about this story out of Iowa.
150 Clergy Support Gay Marriage
This is bait. Will someone speak out against it? Will someone go too far in their speech as to “incite” a response? Will that lead to the scope of the law broadening as described above? If they have it their way, it will.
Do you see? Are you ready to join the battle yet? You can’t just engage from your prayer chair. You’ve got to get in the game and help repair this broken, twisted, dysfunctional church/state relationship before the state comes knocking on your pastor’s door.
