 Hyperinflation around the Globe  |
| Angola (1991-1999)
Angola went through the worst inflation from 1991 to 1995. In early 1991, the highest denomination was 50,000 kwanzas. By 1994, it was 500,000 kwanzas. In the 1995 currency reform, 1 kwanza reajustado was exchanged for 1,000 kwanzas. The highest denomination in 1995 was 5,000,000 kwanzas reajustados. In the 1999 currency reform, 1 new kwanza was exchanged for 1,000,000 kwanzas reajustados. The overall impact of hyperinflation: 1 new kwanza = 1,000,000,000 pre-1991 kwanzas.Wednesday, April 15, 2020 |

| 2018 could be the year for gold |
| We approach 2018 having seen the seeds planted in recent years for a monetary revolution. They include the massive world-wide expansion of credit and debt since the last credit crisis, and the advent of potentially disruptive cryptocurrencies. Geopolitical shifts of tectonic scale have occurred, hardly noticed by the ordinary person. That was until now. We are now on board a train which is gathering speed towards its buffers: the end of dollar hegemony and its potential collapse.It might take a Thursday, December 21, 2017 |

Before that unfortunate summer internship, Manafort was just a shadier-than-average influence-peddler. It happened that many of his clients were bigshots in foreign lands — MoMonday, October 30, 2017 |

| Oil for gold – the real story |
| Following an article in the Nikkei Asia Review, which reported China will shortly introduce an oil futures contract priced in yuan, there has been some confusion about what it means. The article pointed out that in combination with existing gold futures priced in yuan, an oil exporter to China contracting to accept yuan could use these two futures contracts to take delivery of physical gold in payment for oil.I was quoted in that article as follows:"It is a mechanism which is likely to appeal toSunday, October 15, 2017 |

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 Secret Wealth Of The World's Richest Oil Billionaires |
| A policy of nationalizing chunks of an economy inevitably creates oligarchs
who skim profits off the country's natural resources.
As such, you won't be surprised to learn that the largest
energy companies in the world are owned and operated by governments,
and they include: Saudi Aramco, Russian Gazprom, China National Petroleum
Corp. (CNPC), National Iranian Oil Co., Petroleos de Venezuela, Brazil's
