When the Federal Government starts spying on its citizens and harassing them for something you may have said, that is the beginning of a Police State. When police can arrest you and hold you indefinitely without charging you, that is the beginning of a Police State. If you are not happy with what the Federal Government is doing and you voice your opinion and are arrested ,then that is a Police State. Anytime the government wants more and more control of their citizens then you are well on your way to becoming a Police State.

The FBI can search the web for information they deem suspicious and can enter your home without a warrant. If you are labeled a terrorist you can be put in a Military prison forever without so much as a trial and will never be heard from again. If you do not abide by their rules they will intimidate you until you do. The Federal Government has lied to us and robbed us, yet some of you still believe they will take care of you when the crisis occurs.

I don't want to sound like an alarmist, but you must take charge of your affairs and make preparations while there is still time. The US dollar is going to be worthless so you should be thinking of some other form of currency that will be universally accepted. Personally, I like silver, it is still relatively cheap and everyone will accept it, make sure to get some 90% silver coins as well as Silver Rounds or Bars.

Gold is a good investment, however, you will have trouble trading it for goods and services because of its high price. Right now gold is around $1540.00 a troy ounce and silver is around $37.00 a troy ounce, the gold /silver ratio is just over 41:1. This means you can buy one ounce of gold for 41 ounces of silver. Most experts agree the gold/silver ratio will eventually get to 16:1 so if you have $2000.00 gold, then silver will be $125.00. Some forecasts have gold going as high as $5000.00 per ounce.

Try to keep your Silver and other important items in an inconspicuous place in case your house is searched. This doesn't sound like the America we all know and love, but drastic times call for drastic measures. Do not rely on anyone but yourself and you will be better prepared. Start small if you have to , but start!
