The Scenario
You wake up one morning and hear on the news that the Russians and Chinese have stopped using the Petrodollar for world trade; Consequently gold is now the coin of the realm.
That morning the stock market drops 10% and a one hour Halt is implemented by the FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority). Once the Halt is lifted the stock market drops another 10% before closing at 4:00PM ET.
The next Morning the FINRA institutes a Trading Delay which normally is a 5 - 30 minute delay of the opening of the stock market. The delay is in place until the President can address the nation at 10:00AM ET.
After the Presidents address to the nation the market is opened and immediately goes up 2% due to the Federal Reserve pumping money into it. By 4:00PM ET the market has lost that earlier gain and dropped an additional 10%.
While the stock market games continue, China who controls all of the ports on the west coast, many on the east coast and along the Great Lakes water highway; Confiscates all of the containers within the ports. They reportedly do this "to protect the assets of the American people." They actually do this to hedge their bets on the $1.7T of Federal Reserve Securities they have purchased. 10ยข on the quickly depreciating dollar, "in hard assets", is better than zero cents.
China also begins a large buy using gold for: Wheat, barley, corn, etc. that is sitting in silo's and containers in the Midwest. They move that newly purchased grain to the ports they control on Lake Superior, Seattle-Tacoma, Portland and San Francisco.
Due to the Petrodollar collapsing, stock market crashing and China's actions; gold doubles in price by day three from $1,400- to $2,800- an ounce.
By day three the average American citizen who is watching on the sidelines and not really understanding what is transpiring, is starting to get a bit nervous. So they hit their local cash machines and take out as many deflated dollars as the machine will give them. While other citizens go into the bank and try to withdraw their entire saving's and/or checking balances.
To combat this run on the banks, the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury implement the Emergency Banking Act of 1933, AKA "Bank Holiday."
The folks who were able to get money out of the bank in time along with folks with EBT cards, run to the store to buy bread, milk and Dorito's not unlike preparing for a snow storm. By the time your lazy brother in-law arrives to the store there is nothing left.
To make matters worse, on the sixth day of the Petrodollar's collapsing as the worlds currency, there are a group of people; some people label as terrorists, shooting at the big transformers located outside and around cities. The electric grid starts to partially go down, all across the United States.
By this point chaos starts to happen across the country and the question I am asking you: What are you going to do? What is your POA (Plan of Action)? Please share here.
