I can Just imagine Obama saying that gold hoarders are all terrorists and anti American.
Gold is the currency of terrorism, and everyone should surrender their physical gold (and silver) to the wealthy elite.
So be a true patriot, and inform on anyone you know that owns gold.

You can bet the criminal tyrants you call a federal government will come for the gold when the prices gets high enough.
They will either outright steal it at gun point or they will tax it into oblivion.
Either way, they will come.
They are a gang of thieving criminal looters.
They will do what looters do.
Sure right about that ! Martial Law would give them the Hand they need to supposedly do it Legally (Amazing how laws benefit Criminals ) OPPPS did i actually say that ?

That is pretty much what did happen last time.
Basically America is broke, and anyone hoarding gold for personal wealth preservation is a traitor. Rather like hoarding food in a lifeboat ?
The only thing holding back the US government would be justifying gold confiscation in a democracy, when in many countries (falsely) considered less free than America, their governments are actively encouraging private gold ownership.
When the elite have totally plundered the public with bailouts, and raiding as many large pension funds as they can, they will turn to confiscation of gold.
It is the classic historic behavior of despot governments in times of total financial collapse.

Hey that fear tactic worked wonders with gun manufacturers. They started spreading rumors around that Obama was going to take their guns away, and gun sales skyrocketed. So I guess they are trying to do the same thing with gold.
So go ahead, push that fear, all it will do is make gold prices go through the roof.
"They have made their decision, now let them enforce it".
It’s one thing to counterfeit a twenty or hundred dollar bill. The amount of financial damage is usually limited to a specific region and only affects dozens of people and thousands of dollars. Secret Service agents quickly notify the banks on how to recognize these phony bills and retail outlets usually have procedures in place (such as special pens to test the paper) to stop their proliferation.
But what about gold? This is the most sacred of all commodities because it is thought to be the most trusted, reliable and valuable means of saving wealth.
A recent discovery — in October of 2009 — has been suppressed by the main stream media but has been circulating among the “big money” brokers and financial kingpins and is just now being revealed to the public. It involves the gold in Fort Knox — the US Treasury gold — that is the equity of our national wealth. In short, millions (with an “m”) of gold bars are fake!
Who did this? Apparently our own government.
All that glitters is not always gold..the tungsten scandal
