 Inflation Inferno I  |
| Throughout history, governments have fought against the use of sound money. In 1912, Ludwig vonMises identified the reason for this:
The sound-money principle has two aspects. It is affirmative in approving the market's choice of a commonly-used medium of exchange. It is negative in obstructing the government's propensity to meddle with the currency system.Saturday, April 11, 2020 |

| Pod People and the Matrix |
| The two greatest science fiction movies of the 20th century are Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and The Matrix (1999). Both are seminal cinematic efforts that portray big ideological truths about the dangers of modernity and tyranny, and they do so with relentless hammer blows of frightful eeriness.

| AS SISYPHUS FAILS GOLD WILL ASCEND |
| Welcome to 2018 – a year that will be the culmination of at least 105 years of mismanagement of the Western financial system by governments, central bankers and the elite.
2018 will be a year of major volatility in many markets. Stocks are now in a melt-up phase and before the major bear markets start in virtually all countries around the world, we are likely to see the final exhaustion moves which could be substantial. The year will also be marked by inflation increasing a lot faster than expecFriday, January 12, 2018 |

| Gold Juniors’ Q3’17 Fundamentals |
| The
junior gold miners’ stocks have spent months grinding sideways near
lows, sapping confidence and breeding widespread bearishness. The
entire precious-metals sector has been left for dead, eclipsed by
the dazzling Trumphoria stock-market rally. But traders need to
keep their eyes on the fundamental ball so herd sentiment doesn’t
mislead them. The juniors recently reported Q3 earnings, and
enjoyed strong results.

| China Gold Import Jan-Sep 777t. Who’s Supplying |
| While the gold price is slowly crawling upward in the shadow of the current cryptocurrency boom, China continues to import huge tonnages of the yellow metal. As usual, Chinese investors bought on the price dips in the past quarters, steadfastly accumulating for a rainy day. The Chinese appear to be price sensitive regarding gold, as was mentioned in the most recent World Gold Council Demand Trends report, and can also be observed by Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) premiums – going up when the goldThursday, November 16, 2017 |

Instead, it lies festering below the veneer of daily events, inexorably growing its tentacles and extending their reach.

| Mises stands between us and 1984 |
| On this day in 1949 Yale University Press published Ludwig von Mises’s economic treatise, Human Action. Later in 1949 another book appeared, George Orwell’s 1984.
Almost everyone has at least heard of Orwell and 1984. The same is unfortunately not true of Mises and Human Action.
Both books are attached to their authors as if they were extended surnames. Orwell is 1984, Mises is Human Action.
Among the many who’ve read it, 1984 is regarded as a premonition of what could happen if thFriday, September 15, 2017 |

DEBT SLAVERY + FAKE MONEY = FINAL COLLAPSE  |
| Over the last 150 years, the West has gone from human slavery to debt slavery. Slavery was officially outlawed in most countries between the mid 1800s and early 1900s. In the British Empire, it was abolished in 1834 and in the US in 1865 with the 13th amendment.
But it didn’t take long for a different and much more subtle form of slavery to be introduced. It started officially in 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York. More than 100 years before that, the German banker MaMonday, August 7, 2017 |

| Today, we’re going to start with two extremely powerful quotes, regarding the history of monetary destruction…
“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.”
…and what we can, and must do, to stop it…

| Hubris is a deadly sin. It is an arrogance and conceit of the highest degree that eventually leads to failure. As we reach the final stages of the current economic cycle, hubris is prevalent everywhere. Central bankers and bankers believe that they can continue to create wealth by printing and borrowing money. Since it has worked so well for 100 years in this latest cycle, why can’t it continue?

Clearly, the only sane thing to do after a terrorist attack is to take rights away. Maybe if we build a prison around society, we will all be safe. Maybe it is just a matter of the government having more power over the citizens, and they will finally rid the world of terrorism.
Or maybe the UK’s priorities are all wrong. For instance, did you know that in the United Kingdom, you are required to pay a tax to acquire a TV License in order to watch broadcast and online media? AndMonday, June 5, 2017 |

| The
junior gold miners’ stocks suffered a serious thrashing between
mid-April and early May. Relentless heavy selling blasted many back
down near deep mid-December lows, leaving sentiment in tatters. But
traders distracted by weak technicals need to keep their eyes on the
fundamental ball. The gold juniors just finished their Q1 earnings
season, which was solid. Their low stock prices are disconnected

willingness of a growing number of cities to equip officers with video

But what if those cameras also extend the surveillance network

junior gold stocks corrected hard in recent weeks, setting them up
to blast higher on Wednesday’s less-hawkish-than-expected Fed. That

been mounting in this sector. The junior gold miners’ fundamentals
justify much-higher stock prices, as evidenced in their
recently-reported fourth-quarter operating and financial results.
They remain very bullish.

| One of the hallmarks of a totalitarian political regime is control of
the media. In 1996, President Bill Clinton signed into law the
Telecommunications Act of 1996. This law, which was bought and paid for
by corporate media lobbies, allowed big corporations to acquire and
consolidate media outlets nationwide.
The 1996 law lifted the limit on the number of television and radio
stations any one corporation could own. In 2003, the FCC voted to lift

so-called "strong Dollar policy" of the last 25 years.
