In Position to Seize

Those seeking power have always sought gold. Alexander the Great plundered vast amounts of gold from Persia. Cortez conquered the Aztec nation in order to seize their gold. Prisoners in German concentration camps had teeth forcibly yanked out for the sake of small bits of gold.

And now, your government is doing the same thing. The question is, why?

Because they can.

Authorities can seize any property they want under civil forfeiture laws, and anyone carrying a lot of cash or valuables on their person is automatically suspected of committing nefarious activities. You're guilty before proven innocent... and even though you're seldom charged with a crime, you almost never get your property back.

Here's an example of the kind of thing that's been happening all over the country in recent years. In May of 2010, according to the Houston Chronicle, U.S. Immigration and Customs agents made 14 seizures of cash (over $250,000 worth) and approximately $160,000 in gold and silver.

The "crime" in some of the seizure cases (a bar of gold, a couple bars of silver, a few gold nuggets) was... get this... not filling out a form. Because while technically you have the right to move your precious metals in and out of the country, you have to fill out a form if it's valued at $2,500 or more. If you don't, you face the loss of your property, a fine of up to $10,000, and even jail.

Federal, state, and local governments love civil forfeiture laws. It's an easy way to replenish cash-strapped coffers because they don't have to prove a person is guilty of anything at all... they can just be "suspected."

But could there be more to the Houston seizures of gold and silver than first meets the eye? Some people think so. One prominent investment analyst and entrepreneur has been saying for the past few years that he thinks the government will soon confiscate gold in attempts to restore stability to the economy. The 2010 Houston border seizures were just a precursor of things to come.

The fact is, governments want gold. Indeed, governments all over the world are asking for their gold back from other nations where it has been stored. Last year Venezuela began to repatriate their gold reserves, which had been stored abroad in Europe. There are rumblings in India now to do the same. And now Germany and Switzerland are asking for their gold back from Federal Reserve vaults in the United States... which is making some government officials very, very nervous.

So when Obama doesn't have all that gold in U.S. vaults anymore... how will he replenish it?

Some analysts believe that Obama is poised to confiscate gold bullion just as FDR did in 1933. Exhibit A: Obama's Executive Order of March 16. Called the "National Defense Resources Preparedness" order, it gives Obama the right to pretty much seize control of anything in the nation--materials, equipment, resources--in case of "emergency." The language in the order is deliberately broad and vague. It could easily be used to justify seizure of assets... like privately owned gold bullion.

It's Been Done Before

FDR used Executive Orders in 1933 to do just that. With the stroke of a pen, citizens were required by Executive Order 6102 to turn over their gold bullion and gold coin to the Federal Reserve... and they had only 26 days to comply.

The penalties for non-compliance were harsh. If you refused to comply, you had to pay a $10,000 fine or 10 years in prison--or both. Violators were brought to trial, convicted, and thrown into jail.

Do you really think Obama will be any nicer about it?

The Loophole That Made Savvy Gold Owners Filthy Rich... Even When Gold Ownership Was Prohibited

Gold bullion... what so many Americans consider their "end of the world gold"... is the low hanging fruit. Over 13 million Gold Eagles have been sold since they were first minted in 1986. Tens of millions of South African Krugerrands are also privately owned. It was gold bullion similar to this that was seized by FDR in 1933.

With gold prices today, you do the math. No wonder gold confiscation is still so attractive!

All it would take is a few subpoenas for gold dealers to turn over customer lists... and a court decree to open up safe deposit boxes across the nation to "inspect" them for contraband.

But this cloud does have a silver lining. In 1933 when FDR seized privately owned gold, he made an exception. And thanks to this exception, savvy gold owners not only got to keep their gold... they also got very, very rich.

In the late 1930s, a lawyer by the name of Harold Barford took advantage of the loophole and began investing in this special type of gold. He bought regularly for 15 years--all during the time when private gold ownership was outlawed. Over the years, he spent $14,000 on this special gold... then he just sat back and watched it multiply. In 1978, in the last year of his life, Barford sold his "loophole gold"... and it brought him a cool $1,207,000. That's a gain of 8741%!

What To Do Right Now
If You Want To Keep A Stash Of Survival Gold

If you're like most of our readers, you firmly believe that owning gold is essential for a number of reasons. And if you're at all concerned that gold is at risk for confiscation, you'll want to get ahold of our newest publication.

This newly released book gives you all the details of "loophole gold" and how you can acquire it. And here's the beauty of "loophole gold." While it can indeed be quite expensive, it doesn't have to be. In fact, many of the investors who got rich exploiting this loophole spent as little as $10 or $20 at a time, and not a penny more.

What's so special about this gold? Three things.

#1 Because it was exempted from confiscation before, it will likely continue to be exempt under any future confiscation orders. Part of the reason is that, logistically, it's not nearly as easy to confiscate as bullion.

#2 It offers a hedge against both inflation... and hyperinflation.

#3 Carefully procured using specific criteria, it can function both as "survival gold" and as a long-term investment with huge profit potential.

And here's the bottom line: even if Obama decides not to confiscate gold, the information in this book is extremely valuable. With a deficit of $15 trillion, and climbing every day, it's only a matter of time until runaway inflation hits. Very, very few Americans have any idea how to protect their assets in such a scenario. With this book, you'll be among the select few.
