 Gold and Silver as Standards of Value  |
| All the usurpation, and tyranny, and extortion, and robbery, and fraud, that are involved in the monopoly of money are practised, and attempted to be justified, under the pretence of maintaining the standard of value. This pretence is intrinsically a false one throughout. And the whole motive for it is to afford some color of justification for such a monopoly of money as will enable the few holders of gold and silver coins (or of such other money as may be specially licensed and substituted for them) to extort, in exchange for them, more of other men’s property than the coins (or their substitutes) are naturally and truly worth. That such is the fact, it is the purpose of this article to prove.Sunday, October 11, 2020 |

 What Did J.P. Morgan Mean |
| The following exchange occurred on December 18, 1912 when J.P. Morgan – the most influential American financier and banker of his time – was called to testify before Congress.
Mr Untermyer:
I want to ask you a few questions bearing on the subject that you have touched upon this morning, as to the control of money. The control of credit involves a control of money, does it not?
Mr Morgan:
A control of credit? No.

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.

| The Three Gold Camps |
| I believe I have found a suitable starting point when I talk about Gold, and I’d like to share it with you to help explain “WHY” to your friends and family. With people who have little or no knowledge of gold, I have decided to start all conversations by narrowing down the different gold “Camps”.

| Ron Paul: ‘When Our Financial System Crashes…The Elites…Will Suffer The Least’ |
| When the housing bubble popped in 2007, the Federal Reserve went to work to re-inflate the bubble by printing more money – quantitative easing. But the policy has made matters much worse, as now everything is a bubble, and according to Ron Paul, when it bursts, only the elite will come out unscathed.
The Federal Reserve has once again created an artificial and unsustainable economic bubble. Central planning still doesn’t work, and the sooner we move to sound money the better. Ron Paul discusses Sunday, December 30, 2018 |

Lots of people are ready to leave websites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube for less-censored pastures. But what are the social media alternatives that are currently available?

| U.S. Libor exposures larger than thought at $200 trillion |
| A committee of large banks tasked with helping U.S. derivatives markets move away from reliance on the London interbank offered rate (Libor) said today that the benchmark rate underpins more derivatives and loans than previously thought, adding to the need to reduce its influence.
The Alternative Reference Rates Committee said that around $200 trillion in U.S. dollar-based derivatives and loans are based on Libor, with derivatives accounting for around 95 percent of the exposures.

| Upset that you missed the boat on the bitcoin craze last year?
Millionaires were minted overnight as bitcoin returned 1,700 percent in 2017, only to see prices crash by more than half since December. The bubble seems to have popped, and not everyone got out in time.
While we may be past the peak temporarily, the cryptocurrency trend is just getting started, and investor enthusiasm is still growing by the day.

Blockchain, the backbone of cryptocurrency and expected to become the biggest market disrupter ever, is creating incredible wealth for some investors and generating massive returns.

| Nicolas Oresme, a Catholic bishop (1320-1382), studied human behavior with regard to money, which in his time consisted of gold and silver coinage; he was perhaps the first to observe that humans attribute varying valuations to the money that comes into their hands. He stated that holders of gold and silver coins prefer to tender their most deteriorated coins in payments, and retain the most bright, shiny and perfect of their coins. Thus, he was the true originator of what has come to be known aMonday, January 22, 2018 |

Silver as a Strategic Metal and Why Prices Will Soar  |
| The arguments in favor of silver as an investment asset are growing rapidly. In the opinion of the Jackass, silver is the most under-valued hard asset in existence, with the highest potential for price appreciation on the globe. To begin with, central banks own no silver, but do own huge tracts of gold. Industry has huge demand for silver, but a trifling amount for gold demand. The investment demand is another key factor in favor of silver, but also for gold. Ever since the tech telecom bust in Sunday, January 21, 2018 |

| Back in the ‘60’s, an interviewer asked the
“King of Folk Music”, Bob Dylan what his goal in life was. Bob answered
something to the effect of,
“I
want to make enough money to go to college, so one day I can be somebody.”
Bob had a good sense of irony. And certainly,
he was always more inclined to think outside the box than to follow the
well-trodden path. That was part of what made him so interesting and part of
what made him so successful. A similar sentiment was expressed in a song by hiSaturday, January 6, 2018 |

| Can Blockchain Bring An End To Corruption |
| The Roman historian Tacitus once famously quipped “the more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws”.
Every year, roughly 2 percent of global GDP is lost to public sector corruption alone – at a hefty $2 trillion this equals to Italy’s GDP.
The total cost of corruption stands even higher, at 4-5 percent of global GDP. Countries across all continents lose substantial parts of their budgets to corruption. Some African nations see up to a third of their budgets go down the corruption drain.
