Gold confiscation??

What do you think the elites' next step will be? We know that the economy is going to be used to implement some very unpopular things. Do you think a time will come when we'll need to apply for a licence top buy more than a week's supply of food etc?

Exchange Control Act 1966 to 1971

In this period, it became illegal for UK residents to continue to hold more than four gold coins dated after 1817, or to buy any gold coins unless they applied for and were granted a collectors licence from the Bank of England. This was implemented by a 1966 amandment to the Exchange Control Act, 1947. The Dealers, ourselves included had to obtain a dealers licence. It came at a time when interest in collecting all kinds of British coins was blooming in anticipation of decimalisation in 1971. The licensing had the effect of stifling the burgeoning market among new collectors, may of whom started collecting pennies from change. They could no longer graduate to gold coins, as they had to already have a gold coin collection in order to qualify for a licence.

IMO the elites/LDGs will at some point try to outlaw possesssion of gold and silver as a means of holding and exchanging wealth. Their plans for us will not tolerate exchanges of goods without their control. This may be a ways out, but the idea fits into my perspective of "coming attractions".

As for restricting food purchases, I never gave rationing a thought. But I see it as a real possibility.

My wife and I worry about the Saints living in other parts of the world. We have ten acres and fully expect to offer assistance to those who are fleeing the terrible evil that is about to be unleashed upon the world (hopefully, we will not need to flee too). I am thinking about acquiring some older camp trailers to park on our property. We will fix them up so that they are comfortable. I guess this is a difficult question to answer, but, English Saint, do you plan to flee or stay?

Good question. I plan to stay put for the time being because there really isn't anywhere to run - we live in an almost semi-rural part of Scotland. We have our food storage, so it wouldn't make sense to leave. Besides, we have paid off our mortage and are debt free, so we will be here when repossessed and boarded up homes are in every street.

We were thinking of buying a couple of acres of land in the north of Scotland. The problem with having land is that you can't just live on it in the UK. You need planning permission to park a trailer in a field that you own and live in it. We certainly can't build a home without permission. Soviet Britain doesn't have much going for it these days.

We have our 72 hour packs in case we absolutely have to flee.

We have to trust the Lord. He will protect us if we've done everything we can do to be independent.
