"His money came from human misery and death and despair, as always it does. Yet, there is none to reproach him, neither God nor man, and all fawn upon him and he will be a senator and crowds will laud him and he will have the ear of the President and all will honor his riches and consider him worthier than others."
Taylor Caldwell
"People of privilege will always risk their complete destruction
rather than surrender any material part of their advantage.

John Kenneth Galbraith

Czeslaw Milosz
"With tears in my eyes I tell you now that some may be lost, forever. For their own desires are the god that they worship. They boast with pride about things of which they should be ashamed. They think only about the privileges and glories of this world. "

A collapse of a long standing scheme such as the current gold pool declines slowly, and then suddenly.
Be careful of what you put into your minds. There are those who seek to incite your anger and fear, and thereby change you and influence you to their ends.
This is the golden age all right— of fraud.
And all the fashionable people are doing it, with a passionate intensity.
Have a pleasant evening.
