How safe is an investment in mining stocks vs. gold bullion with the coming financial turmoil and planned gold reset? Will the powers that be manipulate access to gold, or suppress its price again following the reset?

Here again, the opposite is the case. They want a new gold standard. They want the central banks to have a reevaluation of their gold stores because so few people are holding gold-based assets. Almost everyone will have a lower standard of living. So the Extraterrestrial Alliance will not want to make gold off-limits or exclusive to only a few groups because that would cordon off gold and defeat the purpose of making it the new monetary standard. For it to be the new money, it must be freely tradable and accessible to all. That is the only way it can become the new monetary standard. This may be in the form of a cybercoin or other cryptocurrency instrument, but the point would be to define it as representing a finite amount of gold; in other words, just as good as gold. So it would not serve the purpose to increase the price of gold and then make it unavailable. That would, in effect, take away most of the market and its demand needed to keep the price high and everyone else impoverished by comparison.
