A shill is an associate of a person selling goods or services or a political group, who pretends no association to the seller/group and assumes the air of an enthusiastic customer. The intention of the shill is, using crowd psychology, to encourage others unaware of the set-up to purchase said goods or services or support the political group's ideological claims. Shills are often employed by confidence artists.

So, you're suggesting Peter Schiff is as you described above?? If this is the case, then I have to ask: have you done your homework on Peter and his observations over the last several years?

Are the majority of American's fearless or just plain senseless?

Oh I think I'll just listen to the government, go get a six pack of beer and watch world wrestling smack down.

This message is loud and clear for the people that truly want to hear it.

Thanks Peter I'm listening and preparing.

Explain how your definition pertains to Peter Schiff.

Please enlighten us.

I can't watch the video... but how exactly does one 'get out of the dollar'.

As things go on and on and Peter Schiff explains his positions more and more and I think his position is a fallacy somewhat. We will be getting massive inflation and the economy will continue to get worse but it will not be armageddon. The rest of the world is doing the SAME exact things. My economics teacher once was talking about treasuries and she said that they are safe as long as the U.S. government and economy is safe, if it isn;t, well, we are all screwed wherever you are anyway.

Honestly, how can he think foreign stocks of all things would be safe if the U.S. collapsed. It is crazy.

Easy buy gold and silver and I would especially buy the Chinese yaun now, they have been depressing the value of it.

But metals is where to be.

If the U.S. collapses, meaning about 25% of world demand for commodities you think metals will hold up (besides gold MAYBE)? Also you think the Chinese yuan will hold up if the U.S. declares bankruptcy and their debt that they hold goes to zero?

I DON'T THINK SO!

17 flags for something that has already been discussed a lot already? I guess those series of web bot earthquake threads really helped your popularity. Who knows, maybe you will eventually compete with DimensionalDetective.

It doesn't take a genius to predict that imminent doom is coming with all the stuff that is going on in the world. If his predictions come to pass, he certainly wouldn't have been the first to predict them, but to see him reach the same conclusions as other informed individuals deserves some merit.

Exactly. What takes a genius is someone who knows it is coming and where they should put their money. A collapse of the U.S. would not make foreign stocks a good place to put money unless you live on Mars! Their stock exchange would probably not be affected. He is clueless what to do if this comes to pass. If anything, you should put your money into food and a bunker in the situation he conjured.

What I heard somebody suggest is to take your dollars and put them in a foreign bank in that country's currency so when the dollar is destroyed by TPTB, you will still have your current value without any loss. IDK is that a good idea?
I saw a video my FIL showed me that had some financial guy swearing up and down that NWO was going to crash the dollar into nothing and THEN was going to offer USA "Hey we will turn your dollars into Amero's for 2 cents on the dollar"

Kinda spooked me a little, but that scenario would pretty much destroy America, not only financially, but socially as well. I got mad and told my FIL that thats a stupid idea, it would cause riots and pretty much destroy America, he told me well theyre going to do it.

The funny part is he is not one to jump to conspiracy's so quick. Be prepared for anything is my only advice. I've seen here in California, the price of AR15 parts jump to twice their price since the election. Be prepared.
