| Yes, that was a gag.
By now, anyone in this country still of sound mind knows that Barack Obama presided through eight years of remarkable continuity — of changeless conditions that left a great many hopeless. As the days of his tenure dwindle, what do we make of the departing 44th president?
He played the role with cool-headed decorum, but that raises the question: was he just playing a role? From the get-go, he made himself hostage to some of tTuesday, December 27, 2016 |

| Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - 'Goldilocks' and The Recovery® |
| The Jobs Report came in weakly this morning, almost surprisingly so, all things considered. It was heavily touted on the financial infomercials that pass as business news as a 'goldilocks' report.
If the Fed did not want to get off the ZIRP boundary so badly I would be guessing that they would be doing nothing much until there was a real indication from the economy that it was warming up. But since they do want higher rates for their own policy purposes then a one-and-done in December still fSaturday, October 8, 2016 |

| "The hypocrite's crime is that he bears false witness against himself. What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one.
Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core."

Manufacturers are banned from making products which are dangerous to children, the environment, or which might fail through shoddy workmanship. However, state intervention in commercial matters is based on shaky grounds, consistent with denial of the role and workings of markets, and an overriding desire to intThursday, May 26, 2016 |

 Rickards: 'Unallocated Gold Is a Euphemism for No Gold.' |
| I think that Rickards is correct in his judgement, and joins many others including Kyle Bass, who because of their backgrounds are much harder to ridicule and dismiss by the creatures of the bullion banks. And in some of their more recent remarks about this, one can almost feel the desperation. And here and there, the rats seem to be leaving the ship.
When this pyramiding of bullion and price manipulation falls apart, which history suggests that it must, there will be many angry investors demMonday, April 4, 2016 |

| "Let us take things as we find them: let us not attempt to distort them into what they are not. True philosophy deals with facts. We cannot make facts. All our wishing cannot change them. We must use them...
Let us attempt to understand it. Let us not disguise it, or explain it away. It may have difficulties; if so, let us own them. Let us fairly meet them: if we can, let us overcome them."

| Gold was soaring this morning on global fears and worse than expected US economic news, after showing some earlier strength in the London trade. Stocks were slumping badly.
However the tide was turned and the trading algorithms reversed gears and paper was driven higher, with gold coming well off of its breakout attempt having run up to a little over 1250. It finished out the day with only a modest gain to around 1230.
As befits a day driven by the fear of risk, gold was outpacing silver.

The victims were poor, desperate, rebellious or in need of help. They came from psychiatric clinics and childrens' hospitals, from old age homes and welfare institutions, from military hospitals and internment camps.

| What Do You Actually Own as Opposed to HOPE You Own |
| The Powers That Be are taking action to prepare for the next crisis.
These actions include:
1) New rules that allow funds to lock in your money for up to 10 days in the event of a crisis.
2) FDIC regulations that permit the FDIC to FREEZE bank accounts at major banks when a meltdown hits.
3) Proposing the banning of physical cash.
All of these boil down to one key phrase: custody risk.
Custody risk is a legal phrase used to convey “what do you really own when you buy an investment.”Friday, October 23, 2015 |
