One More Time…
Fellas — After what happened today, yesterday, last week — and after what has been taking place over the last month, the last year, and over the last six years — I think that it has become time (actually, it’s long overdue) that we, as a community of precious metals market followers, skeptics of the system as it exists, and true believers in the inherent value of tangible assets, collectively admit that we have finally come to the realization that we are battered wives, and for years have been suffering from battered wives syndrome.
Our husband (corrupt system) beats us, then allows us to clean ourselves up and make temporary improvements, then beats us down again, allowing another brief reprieve. He then promises us it will never happen again and actually lets us believe that with slight-to-moderate improvements in our relationship that maybe things have actually gotten better. Then, just at the moment we least expect it, he brutally beats us down again, leaving us to wonder how this happened, why this happened, and could it be worse next time? Of course, we are helped through the healing process by our husband, propped back up mentally and physically to the point of actual belief that the worst is over, and then the son-of-a-bitch beats us down all over again.
It’s never going to end. Our syndrome will always give us the false hope that we’ve survived the last, worst abuse we will experience, only to allow more severe and frequent beatings to occur in the near- and long-term future. We all have it — this syndrome — we are all struggling with it, and we all must admit it. The only way this is going to end is if we kill this son-of-a-bitch. Until our husband (the corrupted metals markets) is whacked, our abuse will continue, get worse, and even end some of us. It’s either him or us, and it can’t be us. This son-of-a-bitch has to go.
