single most important thing you will need for survival is

[typo]

your own CURRENCY to exchange and barter with. ARgentina, Venezuela, all because of currency manipulations. if you have your own currency, to barter and exchange in your town, you can not ony survive but thrive

the mark of the beast is the currency of the beast. the word 'mark' comes from germanic translation, means money. the money of Satan.

Prior to civil war there were 2000 different currencies issued by private banks in the United States. This was a very common natural thing.

 

[typo]

in old days paper money was a ticket you could redeem for gold.

money does not need to be backed by gold. it can be backed by anything. you could issue currency and say that it's backed by a bushel of corn. a haircut. an hours labor. as long as everyone inyour village agrees to back your currency with a standard value, standard barter exchange it will function. it might even be fun to create your own system of things you will exchange for your standard currency unit

 

[typo]

when economic crisis hit, preppers do well but they seldom outlast a prolonged crisis. you will not have the heart to watch people die, or shoot them. nor is it even wise to deny them help in a life or death situation. after the preps run out you need currency to establish a value to work and trade. it is important for social organization and enjoyment of life in itself, aside from mere survival.

 

[typo]

the more people you can bring into your circle, with your initial preps, that's where the real wealth will be in the long term. human productivity in numbers. as well as for defense. having a solid currency backed by a variety of redeemable goods and services from lots of people multiplies the ease of bartering exponentially. even prepping luxury items then becomes a good idea, and greatly contributes to the morale and quality of life and standard of living.

 

[typo]

bankers wanted money redeemable in gold and silver just because of logistics. they could store a lot of value in gold in a small vault, transport large sums of value in condensed form.

but backing your currency with real usable goods and services actually works BETTER than gold and silver. you will see. it is not hard at all, you might find you produce an economic EXPLOSION when you remove the currency manipulators and middlemen. that is actually what usually happens.

 

[typo]

and with currency you have one other big political advantage. Satan's minions are usually soulless mercenary ghouls, they only care about one thing, money. if YOU can pay them, their allegiance will be to YOU, and not Satan. or at least pay them off to leave you alone.

The thing is, the world is all but a cashless society. With the previous bank bailout, they took money from the investors. The new rule is they will take OUR monies in our accounts. Right now we rarely see our paychecks, we pay via online or other apps and it's all but only virtual money. They began limiting how much of our money we could move at one time to $10000 then it went to $5000 and quite frankly if you go physically to a bank you cannot withdraw much more than a few hundred. I tried to get $500 in smaller bills (20s and less) and they had me come back the next day as it wasn't in the vault! (JP Morgan Chase),

One will need stuff that most people have, those who refuse to go with the NWO system: either product to barter or what will be "underground" cash (our current currency.) There are foods that will be high demand and I suspect even a NWO person will barter with a hunted believer if they desire them. Things such as alcohol, coffee, and sugars... probably should research these and find more? (Though I'm sure the stills will be cranking but they will need sugar too )

However, if I"m off the grid and need to buy something, money isn't going to benefit me at all. I would think there will be a turn in requirement and anyone found using it will be punished?
