Dear Reader, Hi. My name is Ron Paul. I'm a 79-year-old from Lake Jackson, Texas. And I had the good fortune to serve 12 terms as a U.S. congressman... During that time, I tried to connect the dots and give you a clear picture of what's going on in our country. And I made life difficult for countless bureaucrats who've built a career on concealing the truth. As far back as 2002, I warned: •Americans would become poorer - and more dependent on the government to put food on the table. •That the erosion of civil liberties would continue under the false flag of "National Security." •And I spoke of an impending real estate meltdown... and financial crisis. Some in Congress tried to laugh off these predictions. But despite their attacks, each of them has come true. Half of all Americans born today will wind up on food stamps at some point in their life. The government is hacking into our cell phones... our emails... and credit card records. The average American has only saved about $25,000 for retirement. And millions of investors and homeowners are still trying to get back to even, after the 2008-2009 financial crisis... To the untrained eye - these problems appear to be unique. Poverty... a looming retirement crisis... civil unrest... and the cost of living spiraling out of control. But as you'll see, they all trace back to a single bad decision. Something the politicians in Washington have attempted to sweep under the rug. And if I'm right, it will trigger the next great collapse - far worse than what we experienced just a few years ago. That's why I've put together this presentation... To explain the final prediction I made in Congress... what it means for you, personally, and how you can protect yourself. I hope you take the small sliver of time that remains for what it is - a gift and final chance to take matters into your own hands, before it's too late. This Is Not Your Grandfather's "America" We're living through a strange time in history, where the old rules - hard work, perseverance and frugality - don't seem to apply. On one hand - the average American's standard of living has never been higher. We have more gizmos and gadgets than you can shake a stick at. And more choices on ways to feed, clothe, and entertain ourselves than ever before. Yet many Americans, no matter how hard they work, find it almost impossible to get ahead. And even the more fortunate among us are worried they may never be able to retire. Does this sound right to you? Well, for an increasing number of us, it's stark reality. And when I tell you what I believe is going to happen next... chances are you'll have a hard time believing me. That's OK. At the very least, you won't be caught off guard when events take a turn for the worst. Let Me Show You What's Happening... and What You Can Do About It Don't worry, you don't have to be an economist to understand how we got into this mess. All it takes is a look at your pocket change. You see, I was born in 1935, during the Great Depression. And I can still remember walking with my brothers to a local store. We each had four or five copper pennies and got a small bag full of candy. Today, the penny is so worthless - a lot of folks in government want to get rid of it. Indeed, the new zinc penny - on the right - can't even buy... a penny. It costs the government nearly 2 cents to make one of them. The same thing is happening with the American nickel. Today, it costs the government almost 10 cents to make a 5-cent piece. That's why the U.S. Mint lost more than $100 million on these coins, last year. How has this happened, I'm sure you are wondering? Well, it's a sign that my final prediction - the complete destruction of our currency and our monetary system - is about to come true. The warning signs are obvious if you know where to look... You've probably noticed how social unrest is on the rise... How college graduates have found themselves burdened with trillions of dollars in debt... How the cost of health care has continued to soar to the point where the average retiree must save $275,000 simply to cover their basic medical expenses... Or how it costs 2 cents to make a penny... and ten cents to make a nickel... These are signs that money as we know it is quickly losing its value... and will soon cease to exist. A Great Deception, Revealed This may sound like an outlandish claim. And it's something you won't hear at all in the mainstream press. It seems unimaginable to most people that the dollar could soon be rendered worthless. But reality paints a different picture. Since the government began its experiment with paper money - our currency has lost 95% of its value. In other words - what used to cost you $1 at the store now costs $21 (and counting). Most Americans-and nearly every politician I met in Washington-don't realize that this is happening. But it's the root cause of why so many find it so hard to save for retirement. It's why pensions have become a relic of the past, and why so many pension plans are underwater. It's why a single medical procedure or unexpected bill could tip millions of Americans into bankruptcy. It's why millions of mothers have been forced to work full-time - when they'd rather stay home with the kids. And why a full shopping cart at the grocery store can easily set you back $200 or $300. When I was in office - I tried to warn people - especially the elderly and those approaching retirement. I told them: "Look, you're always going to get a check from us. You're always going to collect Social Security. And the amount you receive will rise over time. But the question you have to ask is - 'What's that money going to buy?'" If the price of electricity doubles, your check is not going to double. As the price of food continues to rise, the small increases in your check are not going to compensate for that. Just imagine paying... •$7 for a gallon of regular gasoline •$20 for a burrito from Chipotle •$11.50 for whole milk •$14 for a small tin of blueberries •$71,000 for a no-frills, new car •$430 a month for cable and Internet service •$718 a month for electricity If things continue as they are, that's where prices are heading. But I fear we're on the edge of something much worse... an event that will cause the dollar to lose all its remaining value, almost overnight. Congress is totally unprepared for such a crisis. You see, most people in Washington don't understand what money is or what determines its value. I'll never forget the time I was in a Financial Services Committee meeting - not long ago, and one congressional member leaned over and asked me, "Isn't the U.S. dollar backed by gold?" True story. Amazing, isn't it, that some of the people making important decisions about our money don't even know that the U.S. has not been backed by gold or anything for that matter for more than 40 years? They're so busy giving away money, so happy to fund every new program and sustain a military presence in 140 countries that they've never stopped to think what will happen when the money goes bad. Just imagine what our world will look like when the food stamp program grinds to a halt... When grocery stores refuse to accept credit cards... When the people who run Medicare decide a once-routine procedure is now "too expensive" and turn you away from the hospital. And the banks are forced to close... and ATMs run dry. Get ready - it's coming. And really, we don't have to imagine what it might look like. We know because it's happened several times throughout history, with the same result: disaster. Poster Comment: What you gonna do when the ATMs run dry? The Dollar has lost 95% to 98% of its value since the inception of the FED a little over 100 years ago.
