German Views on Money, Gold, and the Return of the Deutsche Mark

Leaders in Germany consider gold to be money:

Germany Eyes Gold Standard

New York Sun – Sept 22, 2012…

Deutsche Bank’s report is “Gold: Adjusting for Zero.” It reckons we’re in a situation that is “Zero for growth, yield, velocity and confidence.” It says: “We believe there are nearly zero real options available to global policy-makers. The world needs growth and is willing to go to extraordinary lengths to get it.” It forecasts bluntly that the value of the dollar will plummet in the first half of 2013 to less than a 2,000th of an ounce of gold. It reckons “the growth in supply of fiat currencies such as the USD will remain an important driver.”…

That’s just for openers. The report then goes on to assert that gold is misunderstood and doesn’t really belong in the basket of “commodities” used by so many economists. Gold is money, according to the Deutsche Bank. Says it: “We would go further however, and argue that gold could be characterised as ‘good’ money as opposed to ‘bad’ money which would be represented by many of today’s fiat currencies.”…

Herr Poehl suddenly exclaimed that Germany was the second biggest gold holder in the world. It still is, according to one of the many nifty charts in the Deutsche Bank’s “Gold: Adjusting for Zero.” This gives rise to the thought that if America is not going to lead on monetary reform, Germany is in a position to do so. There has, after all, been a bit of talk lately about how it should be not Greece but Germany that leaves the Euro. If Berlin wanted to take that course, a campaign for “good” money, as the Deutsche Bank calls it, would certainly be the strategy. http://www.nysun.com/editorials/germany-eyes-gold-standard/87997/

Those of you who have my 2009 book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect or more recent book Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States will realize that I have written that because of devaluation of the US dollar that gold will be considered more important. German leaders apparently now agree.

Biblical (Daniel 11:40-44) and non-biblical prophecies point out that the final leader that the Bible calls the King of the North will value gold. And he is likely to be a European with at least some German heritage.

As far as the Germans considering dropping the Euro, the latest TW News & Prophecy from LCG had the following:

The EU Observer just published results of a German-conducted survey that was released on September 15. Survey participants hailed from Germany, Poland and France. When asked whether their nation would be better off with their own national currency, two-thirds of Germans said “yes” to a return to the Deutsche mark. Forty-nine percent (virtually half) of Germans also agreed that they would be “better off” if the EU did not exist. The same survey showed that most Poles are uncomfortable with the euro as well, while the French still favor the euro (EU Observer, September 17, 2012).

A greater percentage from all three nations view the EU important in keeping up with world economic powers. But, only 32 percent of Germans see the EU successfully moving forward (ibid.). The economic upheaval in Europe has many wondering what will come next for Europe, and it appears to be stirring up suppressed feelings of nationalism—something the EU was designed to overcome.

Bible prophecy illustrates that the end-time “Beast” nations in Europe will be a fractured and fragmented mix that attempt to bind together “iron and clay” (Daniel 2:41-43). The eventual ten kings (possibly nations) that arise out of this group will come together for a time under an economic system strong enough to control a substantial amount of trade (Revelation 17:7-14; 13:16-17). The specific currency and final configuration of this coming powerful political and trade bloc remains to be seen.

The gold and the TW articles are consistent with statements published in my two books. Here is a quote from Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States:

It seems since many are now questioning the role of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency, more are looking into other currencies as well as gold. Gold will set records in U.S. dollar terms. When the U.S. dollar totally collapses people all around the world will consider that even if the Euro (or something similar) is strong, having a more gold-backed currency would be safer. The collapse of the U.S.A. dollar will shake a lot of the world’s confidence in non-gold backed currencies.

Having the European power acquiring a lot more gold to back the Euro (even if the backing is only implied) or possibly other future European currency (that might potentially replace the Euro or even a basket of currencies) may greatly increase European credibility, prosperity, and influence around the globe.

The financial policies of the Obama Administration (which are a massive acceleration of the previous policies of the Bush Administration) are heading the world into the direction that something other than the U.S. dollar will be valued as its reserve currency. (Thiel B. Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States.o Edition 1.1, p. 133)

At this instant, the top leaders in Germany believe that keeping the Euro is better than dropping it. But they also seem to believe that they need to have gold backing, consistent with what I have written.
