| In 1981, a 10-year-old Vietnamese girl, her parents and nine brothers and sisters began preparing for a perilous journey, a journey they knew they might not survive.
Since the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War in April 1975, life had been hard for the little girl’s family. The Communist government of North Vietnam inherited a country deeply divided, devastated by war, and on the verge of economic collapse. In an attempt to unify the country, the government instituted a centrally pWednesday, November 25, 2020 |

Canada has become a leader in the movement against the
racism practiced against indigenous peoples that has so long been common
practice in much of the world. Is it possible that Ottawa will really follow
the lead of Alberta and other provinces by recognizing the rights given to aboriginal
people in the Constitution without hassle? Such an act would shift cases out of courts
into nation-on-nation negotiations.

| Sprott Asset Management's chairman, Eric Sprott, interviewed by Bullion Star's Luke Chua at the Precious Metals Investment Symposium in Melbourne, Australia, last month, wonders whether shortages in the minor precious metals eventually will indicate shortages in gold and silver and lead to the liberation of the prices of the latter.
Sprott scoffs at central banks for having tried to solve the world's debt problems with more debt. He says the trading data reported by the London Bullion Market AssThursday, December 14, 2017 |

| The Fed's Great Unwind: Will It Sink Us |
| In the eyes of many people, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is an indispensable institution. We are told it supports growth and employment, fends off the negative shocks, and fights inflation. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Fed’s fiat money regime is economically and socially highly destructive — causing far-reaching societal and political consequences that extend beyond what most people would imagine.Fiat money is inflationary, it debases the purchasing power of money; it benefits a fewTuesday, November 28, 2017 |

| In mere months, China will have a ballistic missile completed and ready to strike anywhere in the world. And it can carry up to ten nuclear warheads.
The Dongfeng-41 missile, which is said to have the longest range of any ballistic rockets in the world, has undergone its eighth test and is now near completion, according to state-run media.
Previous reports have claimed that the missile has a range of at least 7,500 miles (12,000km) and could carry up to 10 nuclear warheads – meaning it could strWednesday, November 22, 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 |

MANILA -- By the late industrialist Enrique Zobel's recollections, former strongman Ferdinand Marcos left behind his widow, Imelda, and three children with a cache of gold bars that in 1989 was worth at least $35 billion.

Market Update
It´s been a couple of tough days when silver experienced a flash crash and gold moved below its 200MA at 1,235 USD. But the incredible pessimism among basically all precious metals investors and analysts was a great contrarian signal.
Now gold and silver already do look better and I believe we might be right at the beginning of a multi-month bull run that could take gold towards 1,500 USD and silver towards 26,00 USD.

We’re Good People, Really We Are!  |
| The disgrace of America’s putative intellectual class is nearly complete as it shoves the polity further into dysfunction and toward collapse. These are the people Nassim Taleb refers to as “intellectuals-yet-idiots.” Big questions loom over this dynamic: How did the thinking class of America sink into this slough of thoughtlessness? And why – what is motivating them?
One path to understanding it can be found in this sober essay by Neal Devers, The Overton Bubble, published two years ago on TheFMonday, July 10, 2017 |

The leaders of the security and economic alliance of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, which now incorporates most of these peoples, also know that to become independent of Western hegemony and to forge their own way, they must abandon Western financial systems and markets, replacing them with a new monetary order, servingThursday, July 6, 2017 |

“An almost hysterical antagonism toward the gold standard is one issue which unites statists of all persuasions. They seem to sense…that gold and economic freedom are inseparable, that the gold standard is an instrument of laissez-faire, and that each implies and requires the other.”

As China's economy has boomed, corporations and individuals with historically close ties to the government have been the major beneficiaries. Sitting flush with massive amounts of cash on hand, power players in the Chinese markets have increasingly sought to branch out and increase their investments in foreign countries. Many of these investments target key industries despite their own government often restricting or forbidding the same kind of foreign investment domesticalTuesday, June 6, 2017 |

is the world’s largest gold producer and buyer. So President Xi Jinping’s
takeaways in the wake of his recent meeting with Donald Trump, his U.S. counterpart,
have huge market implications.
China,
steeped in a 5,000-year history, tends to think in longer time frames than Western
countries. Their leaders are thus less likely to act impulsively.
That’s
a good thing for Trump. Because in Xi’s eyes, the U.S. President almost certainly

This is likely to be the opinion of China’s strategic advisors. We analyse the geopolitics and economics behind America’s war strategy from China’s perspective, concluding that it is entering its final phase.

| For most of its recent history, China has largely been a land power with no significant naval capabilities. They haven’t been able to exert much military influence beyond their coastline for hundreds of years. In fact, one of the reasons why Western powers had no trouble bullying China during the 19th and 20th centuries, was because the Imperial Navy under the Qing dynasty was incredibly weak. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that lately, China has been putting a lot of effort into building aFriday, March 17, 2017 |

| ‘White’ Philosophers Next Ban At College: “A Real Danger Of Political Correctness Out of Control” |
| “Rather ridiculous” … and ultimately quite dangerous.
Apparently, there is no end to the stupidity… especially at centers of higher learning.
In the quest for diversity, fair representation and perhaps payback, some racially-minded education reformers are now attempting to erase philosophers like Plato and Kant from the curriculum – because they are ‘white.’
Never mind that some of these minds are foundational to knowledge as we know it, or the direction of western society.
They are white.
