Cyprus: Government Robbed The Rich To Pay The Bills

By Anne Trimble


In the ancient Roman Empire, the Rubicon River, which was North of Rome, became the point of no return for various invading armies. If they crossed over it, going south toward Rome, the Romans would interpret that action as a declaration of war. And there was no reversing that decision. An army who crossed that great river had actually flagged themselves as an adversary of Rome.

Today, the cash grab in Cyprus has become the Rubicon that the worldwide financial and government elites have crossed. In their brazen plan to seize a good portion of the banking assets of affluent Cypriots -- whatever the excuses made by European Union authorities for such robbery -- the powers-that-be in Europe have crossed their own point of no return.

In our case, here in America, we have to respond individually as Rome did collectively to such an obvious danger. Our only option-- the only way to "fight back" in a meaningful way -- is to withdraw as much as possible from the worldwide monetary system and shift all our family assets into real money, which is gold and silver.

The mouthpieces of the New World Order keep insisting that what is taking place in Cyprus will not be repeated elsewhere in the western world. They reassure us, for example, that American bank depositors have no reason to fear the actions of their own financially-desperate federal government. The feds would simply not make such a push. They spin cover stories about the significant distinctions between the economies of Cyprus and the United States. One story is that the money grab was justified because the Cypriot financial sector mainly was really funded by Russian drug money. It's one blatant lie after another.

But don't you be fooled for a minute. In stealing from the law-abiding affluent citizens of Cyprus right in front of the world, the international monetary interests are informing us in no uncertain terms that they have crossed the Rubicon -- and now they have no choice but to come after the rest of us in Europe and America.

It will happen everywhere in the world, in Western democracies," Marc Faber said on Tuesday on CNBC. The so-called contrarian investor" said one reason he fears more widespread use of the Cypriot maneuver by other western governments is their popular support among their citizenry for taking such actions against the increasingly concentrated wealth in each country.

"You have even more individuals voting than working for a living," he said. "I think you have to be prepared to lose 20 or 30 percent of your assets if you want to save your own life."
