| A Monday Morning Musing from Mickey the Mercenary Geologist"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefiMonday, November 23, 2020 |

 Gold Silver Confiscation: Can the Government Seize Assets |
| One concern of retail precious metals investors is the possibility of a gold confiscation.Imagine having the forethought to buy gold to shield your finances from an economic or monetary crisis—only to have it taken away from you by your government. You’d lose not just the protective buffer you put in place but potentially a chunk of your net worth.Gold confiscation may sound preposterous to investors used to securities or real estate. But it’s happened in the past enough times to make it a reasoMonday, June 1, 2020 |

Things like - rising sea levels, global shortages of fresh water, simmering religious tensions, the potential for wars over mineral resources and what a higher gold price means. Disregard financial calamity, malfunctioning governments and lying sleazebag politicians leading us down the garden path.

| US Weighs Venezuela Oil Sanctions: Why Haven't We Starved Enough |
| Thousands of children in Venezuela have starved to death. More are at risk. US sanctions contribute to the conditions.
The hospitals in Venezuela are overcrowded with children suffering from extreme malnutrition and dehydration. Because of hyperinflation, the Venezuelan Bolivar is all but worthless.
The country's only source of revenue is oil, but thanks to corruption and neglect, oil production is down. Making matters worse for everyone in the county, especially innocent children, the US has Tuesday, February 6, 2018 |

| We have been attempting to cover this subject but someone keeps moving the pieces. One day Maduro is announcing El Petro and three weeks later Maduro is releasing El Petro. Then the Venezuelan Parliament calls it unConstitutional but Maduro is pushing forward!! This move is followed by Maduro calling on his neighbor countries to buy in. What a mess.

| The Black Market: The Embryonic Free Market - Jeff Thomas |
| In my lifetime, I’ve witnessed five Cubas.
Pre-Revolution, 1952-1958
In the 1950’s, the Cuban people suffered under great oppression from
its military dictator, Fulgencio Batista. The great majority of Cubans
at that time lived in fear and welcomed regime change. That change came
from Fidel Castro and a small band of rebels in 1959. Although the
rebels were poorly armed, poorly trained and were by no means expert
military strategists, they had a distinct advantage: the Cuban people

| The US Dollar has had a wonderful run in its life time. Not too many fiat currencies have had the ability to sustain its usage for as long as this mighty experiment has and all who have reported on this instrument of trade are pretty much pointing to the same outcome that it can’t last much longer.
Today, the US Dollar trade sits at 93.55 down 8.6 points in the early morning on this Columbus Day. Not too long ago the dollar broke thru a multiyear downside target of 91.88 which originally happeneWednesday, October 11, 2017 |

| Gold Readying to Rally |
| Gold
suffered a sharp pullback this past month, spawning bearish
sentiment. Futures speculators fled on surging Fed-rate-hike odds
and new stock-market record highs. That pounded gold lower despite
strong investment demand. This healthy sentiment-rebalancing
retreat has left gold ready to rally again. Both its technicals and
seasonals are very bullish, and futures speculators’ selling
overhang has considerably abated.

| The hurricane models now suggest Irma will veer west, missing a direct hit on Miami. Instead, expectations are the storm will track up the West coast of Florida towards Tampa. Winds died down to 125 MPH over Cuba, making Irma category 3, but the models expect Irma to be category 4 when it strikes Southern Florida.

| The intensity of Hurricane Irma is already making a huge impact on those in the path of this storm’s fury. The hurricane has even wiped an entire island off the map, destroying almost every building on it and flooding it to the point that it’s now underwater.
The tiny Caribbean island of Barbuda is “uninhabitable” and “literally underwater” after it was steamrolled by Hurricane Irma. Officials in the Caribbean said as the superstorm’s confirmed death toll climbed to eight and it could still goFriday, September 8, 2017 |

President Trump has promised the world that he will “solve” the North Korean nuclear crisis before the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un, can screw a nuclear weapon onto a missile that can reach San Francisco or Los Angeles, a grim feat that experts say he is on track to achieve during Mr. Trump’s first term. The president is right to point out that his predecessors succeeded only at kicking this problem down the road. But Mr. Trump hasn’t said how he plans to solve thTuesday, May 30, 2017 |

To put it more bluntly, a war to reset the global financial order is about to be unleashed.
Preparations inside Russia are being made in case the ultimate banking sanctions are placed on them, cutting off commerce inside the all-encompassing Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecomm SWIFT system – which runs credit, debt, and banking card transactions across a real time global network.

 The Escape from Collectivism - Jeff Thomas |
| Recently, I penned an article entitled, “A Chicken in Every Pot,”
which described the reasons why countries that have delved into
collectivism are likely to slide further down the slippery slope, once
it’s addictive qualities have been introduced to the brain.
Since then, I’ve received requests to address whether it’s ever
possible to fully escape collectivism, once it has taken hold in a
country. The short answer is “yes.” It’s always possible to kick an
addiction, but it’s not easy nor wSunday, May 21, 2017 |

Central banks and gold  |
| The very near future is likely to see a sea-change in central bankers’ attitude to the gold allocation in their reserves. The failure of G20 monetary policy since the financial crisis is causing a general rethink, which may eventually lead to a new policy direction.For now, that is undecided, beyond a growing acceptance that today’s monetary policy does not work and the assumptions of recent decades, that gold as money should be phased out, might have been a mistake.The idea, that Western centraSunday, March 5, 2017 |

Editor’s Comment: By all appearances, President Trump is doing his damndest to turn around the economy, revitalize jobs and bring back prosperity. But the larger trends are already in place; the cycle is turning, and the bust cannot be put off forever.

| He ran for the highest office in the land on a platform that excoriated the corporate “one-percenters,” promising to reign them in with reams of regulation and government-imposed price controls. To atone for all the alleged unfairness of “capitalist society” he promised explosive growth of welfare statism, complete with “free” education, free health care, free housing, and a virtual “economic bill of rights” filled with free everything.

a pretty powerful statement. Is it historically supportable? Let’s visit a current
example - Venezuela, to examine the overall process of collectivism, then look
at a few other historical cases and see what we can learn.
