Firstly US would need to peg the US dollar rather than float the US dollar. Some economic theory may say the US Federal Reserve has to sell the US dollar on currency markets.

My thoughts are scary stories are confusing investors and future investors emotional awareness.

The scary stories that do not eventuate, eventually have investors ignoring scary stories. Investors may believe positive stories while ignoring negative stories.

Religion runs on scary Apocalypse stories, scaring children into believing religion will save them from whatever.

I suggest that watching Sunday religions propaganda for the sole purpose of determining how to scare people into doing what religion wants, is a good exercise.

My conspiracy theory is everything is a lie. Market forces are the new god, that wants people to invest rather than spend.

Listeners can't properly figure out what doesn't exist.
What doesn't exist is allowed to sound like what doesn't exist, actually exists.

People who've invested heavily in gold have lost money, so they're inventing conspiracy theories firstly to explain it, and secondly to try to convince people to buy gold to boost the gold price.

I don/t think so.

if you go to Paul Craig Roberts site he has a very good article on there where he explains exactly the price of gold and silver have been deliberately suppressed. He explains in great detail exactly how they do it.

PCR is a former assistant secretary to a gvt dept to Ron RayGun.

Referundemdrivensocienty,
Aiden was right earlier when he spoke of people talking gold up so that others will buy it and therefore push the price up - a scenario in which they too profit.

People will do anything for an advantage and for profit, and its a tactic that has been employed by some in the past.

Paul Craig Roberts is a good source of information.

US Unemployment: May 6, 2016. PBS Newshour reported, USA employment statistics for April came out. 160,000 jobs were created, leaving the US unemployment at 5%.
Good news, maybe not. Many years ago, watching US “Nightly Business Report” on SBS television, plus, Paul Keating stated, 5% unemployment is considered full employment.

After 2008, US employment fell to 8% remembering 8.5%. Even though the US DOW Jones Industrial average index has spent much of its time between 16,000 and 18,000 for the past several years... presently around 17,700. I assume, few US experts are getting excited about a bubble of any kind. To get to full employment, while interest rates are very low, a boom of some type must be going on. I would say, an establishment hiring up to 5% unemployment is a sign of an intentional bust, market slump, is coming.

X...X...X...

A following PBS Newshour story, keep teenagers out of trouble by paying teenagers not to get into trouble, sounds stupid. The issue was that teenagers are bored.

I have an idea: give teenagers free tickets to local movie theatres showing actor movie performances of people acting: responsible; wise; skilled thinking; spoken without speaking too fast, actors using correct speaking English. Instead of showing teenagers super hero good defeating evil, fairy tale fantasy, which I could assume has violent emotions lifted, while watchers are also criticising super hero nerdy dress sense. You may notice that X-men and Marvel heroes are usually arguing with each other before they actually do anything. The latest Marvel movie is taking arguing with each other to whose got the right to be uncontrolled by laws super heroes.

I bother to watch Marvel programs and movies once, my curiosity gets satisfied. Television is a matter of finding the best out of a lot of terrible programs. My conclusion is that once good programs are seen, viewer standards for programs rise, leaving bad senseless programs to be ignored. Another conclusion is that producers and directors are paid to keep those emotionally charged people who read, watch and listen to media, dumb.

I have created a PDF file reading on banks inventing bank credits to pay wages using an idea that whistleblowers and journalists redirect people's attention away from similar ideas. Britain's contribution to the Industrial Revolution. The Great Depression lies of government not having money to stimulate employment. WW2 comes along, every person has a job. After the war, after a short recession, employment issues seems to have vanished.

Rather than post the PDF file here. Feel free to visit:

I believe most people after reading to the end, will find the reading convincing.

I don't even watch normal TV much at all anymore.
If you want something interesting to watch or listen to try these.
