 Freedom and Federalism  |
| The idea of states' rights is most closely associated with the political philosophy of Thomas Jefferson and his political heirs. Jefferson himself never entertained the idea that "states have rights," as some of the less educated critics of the idea have claimed. Of course "states" don't have rights. The essence of Jefferson's idea is that if the people are to be the masters rather than the servants of their own government, then they must have some vehicle with which to control that government. That vehicle, in the Jeffersonian tradition, is politicalMonday, April 20, 2020 |

| Pod People and the Matrix |
| The two greatest science fiction movies of the 20th century are Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and The Matrix (1999). Both are seminal cinematic efforts that portray big ideological truths about the dangers of modernity and tyranny, and they do so with relentless hammer blows of frightful eeriness.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers involves an extraterrestrial invasion in which mysterious plant spores have settled onto earth and then hatch into sinister leafy pods that migratSunday, March 4, 2018 |

| Bitcoin as Poison |
| The views on Bitcoin among various investors are quite polarized. The whole spectrum includes both people directly owning the cryptocurrency and those who seem to hate it. We have read analyses suggesting that a surprising percentage of hedge fund managers own digital coins. At the same time, Warren Buffett's investment chief, Charlie Munger, called Bitcoin “noxious poison.” Do such words mean that Bitcoin is doomed? In an article on the Guardian website, we read:

| New Virus With NO CURE Spreading: This Is WORSE Than The ‘Black Death’ |
| A new virus for which medical officials have no remedy is spreading. The infectious disease also has a fatality rate of almost 90% making it much more deadly than the black death plaguing Madagascar.
A deadly outbreak of a rare and highly fatal virus has broken out in eastern Uganda and five cases have already been identified, the World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed. The disease is known as the Marburg virus. It is similar to the Ebola virus and can be fatal in up to 88% of cases.

Is this a red flag for war with North Korea? Suspicions run high as tensions in the area continue to stiffen. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the most expensive and one of the most controversial weapons systems in United States history, is dubbed “the cornerstone” of US defense in the PaWednesday, November 1, 2017 |

| Trump’s Tax Plan: A Convoluted Mess |

If only we of the modern day could restore some of Thoreau’s wisdom to our lives and our tax system. The convoluted monster that stands for our tax code today both permeates and suffocates practically every decision we make in the political-economic arenas of life.

| Gold And The Coming Collapse: Are We Close To A Major Monetary Event |
| It really should be clear that a major international banking crisis is inevitable, and likely to occur fairly soon. Due to the extreme debt levels, many banks are close to that point of failure.
An event like a stock market crash is likely to push many banks to that point of failure, since the pressure it would create (on cash resources), would expose their inability to fulfill their obligations.

DENPASAR, Indonesia -- China is expected shortly to launch a crude oil futures contract priced in yuan and convertible into gold in what analysts say could be a game-changer for the industry.
The contract could become the most important Asia-based crude oil benchmark, given that China is the world's biggest oil importer. Crude oil is usually priced in reTuesday, September 5, 2017 |

| Absurd Inflation Discussion by Fed Jackasses |
| Minutes of the July 25-26 FOMC Meeting show internal concern over the Fed’s inability to hit 2% inflation.
I counted 89 instances of “inflation” and 79 instances of “2”. As sub-categories of 2, there were 27 instances of “2 percent” and eight instances of “below 2”.
“Longer” came up 26 times. “Transitory”, a previous standout, only came up twice. “Idiosyncratic” a new buzzword courtesy of the Cleveland Fed, came up once.

| For years, I deemed them “horrible headlines”; and recently, “PiMBEEB” – or Precious Metal bullish, everything-else-bearish. But any way you slice it, the sum total of the global political; economic; social; and most of all, monetary situation – in which, a handful of unelected sociopaths, utilizing a “financial printing press,” garner 99% of the world’s wealth and power – has never been more conducive to the end of the mad, Frankenstein monster-like experiment that spawned it.

| My best estimate as of June 2017 with respect to total above ground gold reserves within the Chinese domestic market is 20,193 tonnes. The majority of these reserves are held by the citizenry, an estimated 16,193 tonnes; the residual 4,000 tonnes, which is a speculative yet conservative estimate, is held by the Chinese central bank the People’s Bank of China.

| Oil Prices Are Set To Rebound |
| The latest selloff in oil prices have left speculators in a predicament: The fundamentals continue to look poor with unimpressive drawdowns in crude oil stocks, but there is a general consensus that the extension of the OPEC deal should push the market towards a rebalancing over the next few quarters.
What that means for short-term movements in prices is unclear. The unpredictability of today's oil market is leaving some investors burned by unexpected price gyrations. For example, just ahead of Thursday, June 15, 2017 |
