Three Levels of Survival Skills ![](../style/all/img/articles/Large_4.png) |
The situations in which survival skills become desirable or even necessary cover a wide range of possibilities.
For example, if you are in what is euphemistically referred to as the "Golden Years," and your own government decides to manipulate interest rates to the point that the fixed income you rely on to survive falls into negative territory, survival skills will quickly come in handy, but survival skills of a different sort than, say, those required to stay afloat in a failed economy such as Zimbabwe. On that front, we'll hear from a Zimbabwean a bit further on.Friday, February 26, 2021 |

Why Copper Is a Critical Metal: Mickey Fulp ![](../style/all/img/articles/Large_4.png) |
Copper is often referred to as "Dr. Copper," the metal with a Ph.D. in economics. Yet most analysts don't view it as a critical metal. In this interview with The Critical Metals Report, Mickey Fulp, author of The Mercenary Geologist, gives his thoughts on why the experts are wrong and why copper should be considered a critical metal.Friday, December 25, 2020 |

Tin In Rome ![](../style/all/img/articles/Large_5.png) |
In the Roman world "Tin" was effectively the "King of Commodities". This essential commodity was crucially important to every day life. It was most prominently used in the production of the alloy "Bronze" which was widely utilized throughout the empire in most metal applications including arms and amour. In one way or another, everyone living throughout the Empire were consumers of tin; they made up the "demand" side of the tin market.Sunday, July 19, 2020 |

The Bonds segment of NFTRH 491 took a turn to tin foil territory to allow the letter writer to expose newer subscribers to his ideological views and thus, bias. #491 also got pretty talky on the precious metals as it did a thorough review of the sector’s status, with silver’s symmetry to 2016 a very key item.

Your Prepper Stockpile: How To Add More Fruits And Veggies To Your Inventory |
Building a usable supply of fruits and vegetable is difficult for some preppers. Many of us struggle with this aspect of prepping, but there are a few simple steps you can take if you’re looking to add fruit or vegetables to your prepper stockpile.
It is difficult in a SHTF situation to get the fruit and vegetables the human body needs, but without them, you and your family can be at risk for a nutritional deficiency disease such as scurvy (which results from a lack of vitamin C) and immune systSunday, January 21, 2018 |

The story charms readers on several levels. The books and movie have
been exceptionally popular.
This interpretation describes the symbolism:
Emerald City: Greenbacks – paper money

The purpose of James Ledbetter’s new book, One Nation Under Gold (2017) is to convince you that anything to do with gold – especially basing your money on it – is folly, superstition, mania, obsession, and madness. We know this because he tells us so, in the introduction:

One Nation Under Gold (2017), by James Ledbetter |
One Nation Under Gold (2017), by James Ledbetter, is, pretty much, a gold-bashing exercise. I think it is propaganda: that is to say, not a forthright expression of an individual’s independent and informed view, but an intentional effort to mold public opinion to serve certain agendas. The tone and method is very much like The Power of Gold: the History of an Obsession, by Peter Bernstein, seventeen years earlier — so similar, indeed, that it sometimes seems that it could have come from the sameTuesday, October 3, 2017 |

BacTech Environmental: Green Gold Processing Technology Addresses Artisanal Mining and ARD Problems |
Every year millions of small-scale miners toil in the baking sun, collecting and breaking rocks with the goal of extracting small amounts of gold - enough to make a living in some of the most impoverished corners of the world.
Most of these “mines” are illegal and unregulated. The problem of artisanal mining is so widespread, it is estimated as many as 30 million people, many of them women and children, work in this hard-scrabble industry.

Gold Was Chemically Destined To Be Money All Along |
Forbes/Frank Holmes/08-16-17
I think most of you reading this right now are aware that gold is unlike any other metal, certainly any other element. It doesn’t play by the same rules as iron or tin or aluminum, and its value has nothing to do with its utility—or lack thereof. People valued the yellow metal for its beauty and malleability eons before they knew of its usefulness in conducting electricity or its chemical inertness.

Manipulation of the gold market by central banks figures heavily in an interview this week with Gold Newsletter editor and New Orleans Investment Conference organizer Brien Lundin by Peak Prosperity's Chris Martenson.
Martenson comes closer than ever to joining the supposed tin-foil hat crowd with a remark that may sound familiar to GATA supporters: "It's easier to find plans for a nuclear bomb online than it is to find out the actual state of the gold market."

British Think Tank Fears Hackers Could Access Nuclear Submarines: Could Lead To “Catastrophic Exchange Of Nuclear Warheads” |
Cyber security has become a preeminent issue in the modern world. That’s because so much of our standard of living is now reliant on computers that can often be easily hacked. Computers may make our lives easier, but they’ve given our civilization a whole new vulnerability to worry about. Our privacy, our infrastructure, and our financial systems are now at the mercy of hackers.
But those threats pale in comparison the vulnerability of our nuclear arsenals. Yes, you read that correctly. You’d thWednesday, June 7, 2017 |
