as a US citizen of course most of my wealth is in USD's.

I bet most Americans have their wealth outside of notes, only having a few in their wallets/purses.

if UST's sell off, its possible this will drive the USD even higher and faster and gold/silver straight down into the dumps. wouldn't that be something?

Investors have assets in mind for "safety" or "I have no idea where else to put the money". If USTs go, then gold and silver will see more buying.

Have you commented on the COMEX destruction along with PM manipulation which would occur if the debt collapses?

The comex reminds me very much of the lines to buy houses at the top out the housing bubble. It went on for years. Also the ipo craze. Everything looked so good. How could anything go wrong? Why can't things reverse?
