The full guide to Nazi gold and currency war |
This morning’s papers and news-shows are full of the story that in 1939 the Bank of England facilitated the sale of Nazi looted gold, not just once but at least twice during that year. Both times without approval of the British government, despite an attempt to freeze Czech assets.
The story of Nazi gold is both fascinating and tragic. We take a look at ‘the greatest robbery of all time’ and draw parallels with the modern day gold migration.

Keith Barron struck it rich in Ecuador and now is looking for the lost cities of gold |
Keith Barron is deep inside a Vatican library, hunkered over a 17th century tome bound in Moroccan red leather. "The country is the richest in gold in all the Indies," reads one passage. "The natives are cannibals and very warlike, and devastated the city of Logroño de los Caballeros, massacring the Spaniards and burning the churches."
A geologist by training, amateur historian and professional gold hunter, Barron is on a mission. Ecuador's two "lost cities of gold" exist only in legend and in fWednesday, December 20, 2017 |

"In The Name Of Fairness", A Very Touchy Subject… |
By Bill HolterWhen it comes to the latest US stance vis-a-vis China’s currency manipulation, the jury is out, and based on two recent statements it is more confused than ever. Religion and politics, are both hot button issues no matter how you slice it, touchy subjects, if you will. Speaking, or writing about them, usually elicits rage, or anger …especially when they are mentioned together, or connected. Un-noticed by most is a ground shaking occurrence, whereby these two highly explosive issuesSunday, February 26, 2017 |

Central Planning and Big Government: Kaput |
Abstract
Government has been a voluntary system of mutual protection, which requires
rules and administration. Unfortunately, these provide the means whereby the
ambitious can impose control. Society evolved constitutions intended to curb
such ambition. But over the last hundred years both the unwritten constitution
of England and the written one of America have been bypassed by the greatest
experiment in authoritarian government in 400 years. The last example climaxed

Malice in Wonderland |
Malice in WonderlandRecently, I was quietly reading in my armchair, eyes closing and trying to stay awake, and the next moment I was falling down a rabbit hole. After falling into the void, I found myself outside a castle, which can only be described as very Gothic in the darkest sense. A door opened in the castle wall, and I was beckoned in by a tall dark-haired man, who was wearing a long black cloak.He said he was a representative for ME Phistopheles & Co, a firm located in multiple undergrouFriday, January 13, 2017 |

The low for SC 23 was 0.0 in August 2009.
Spotless days have been increasing. From 2011 to 2015 there were only 3 such
days as SC 24 maxed out in 2014.
2016 clocked 32 spotless days, with 7 noted from December 16 to 31.
The pace is increasing.

Year of Hope and Change
The day I began this blog, 8/23/08, was two days before the 2008 Democratic National Convention, which nominated then-senator Barack Obama on a platform of Hope and Change. (Coincidentally (and pretty funny now in hindsight), Obama won the most delegates, but Hillary won the popular vote!):
Twenty days from now, on January 20th, we'll be done with Obama's version and, Michelle's opinion notwithstanding, we'll finally get to experience some real Hope and Change,Sunday, January 1, 2017 |

Denier Pride |
It wasn't until a couple of years ago that the full meaning of today's usage
of the term "Denier" got through to me. Of course, the Left's connotation has
been the accusation that anyone who would deny catastrophic anthropogenic global
warming would also deny the Nazi holocaust.
This is just plain nasty, and unsupportable.
Political Correctness is the most versatile authoritarian dogma ever invented.

US Treasury Quashes Saudi Threat of Dumping Treasuries |
A secret US-Saudi deal from 1973 falls apart.
Ever since the US made a secret deal with Saudi Arabia in 1973 to end the oil embargo, the Treasury Department has never disclosed Saudi Arabia’s holdings of US Treasury securities.
“It’s among concessions that U.S. administrations made over the years to maintain America’s strategic relationship with the Saudi royal family and access to the kingdom’s oil reserves,” Bloomberg News explained, after it had successfully pushed the Treasury via a Freedom-Tuesday, May 17, 2016 |

Treasury Department Finally Discloses Saudi Treasury Holdings – Incorrectly |
Under a freedom of information request, the Treasury department disclosed Saudi Arabia’s treasury holdings as $116.8 billion.
Last month, Saudi Arabia threatened to dump $750 billion in treasury holdings if Congress passed a bill allowing US citizens to file 911 claims against the Saudis.
Clearly the numbers don’t mesh. Who is telling the truth?
Please consider U.S. Discloses Saudi Arabia’s Treasuries Holdings for First Time.

Bureaucratic Follies Involving the Number 2 |
No, this is not a segment from Sesame Street with the "Count" going on about
the number "2". It is about today's bureaucrats fixated on the number. Not
one and not three, but the number in between. Arbitrarily chosen and arbitrarily
used by those with the audacity to think they can "manage" the economy and
the climate.

In central banking circles, the collective worry is that if the rate of CPI
inflation falls or stays below 2 percent it will be a bad thing. ThroughouFriday, October 30, 2015 |

Gold Effect on Mining Shale Wasteland |
KING DOLLAR DEATH WATCH Before diving into the featured topic, let it be known that the USD-based platforms and USGovt-sponsored continental trade unions are a dismal failure, poorly crafted, poorly sold. The effect will be to accelerate the gradually accelerating USDollar rejection on a global scale. The war and sanctions angle continue to support and defend the USD, but it is unsupportable (due to crippling debt) and indefensible (due to QE hyper inflation).
