Mr.Copper
Nice attack.
Somehow I missed the slowing down of globalization before Donald Trump became President.
@ipso facto
Right I won’t be selling AG either assuming Silver will continue climbing. And higher silver will provide profits to pay back taxes. And if it turns out they don’t have to pay, that news would be a good tailwind. I don’t like DRD its Africa, but I’m kind of a momentum player, and got a good ride with it. I think their main thing is going thru old tailings. With very long conveyers. It used to be the old DROOY I think. And everybody hated that one. Rather than quality, I think a lot of stocks just get and lose popularity for one reason or another.
Mr.Copper
Lot of difference between BTG and DRD. I know that BTG is a quality play but I’m not so sure about DRD.
I don’t know if I would sell AG here or not. There’s always this trouble or that for the miners.
2020 story, Globalization Ended After 9/11/01, But I Knew It That Day
I didn’t bother reading the whole story, because its already in my head, and just skimmed it, and it looks pretty accurate compared to my views and observations. Where the author got the info? I don’t know. Maybe word spread from my old posts on Vronsky’s Gold-Eagle and here GoldTent, surprise me.
Note: The second blow, was directly related to the first blow. (not in the story) The 9/11 attack was in the middle of a recession from the dot com bust.
To prevent the attackers from getting satisfaction for crashing the US economy even further, The Fed and banks gave no documentation 105% liar loans to buy houses, buy a temporary boom, so the banker Bozos delayed the economic crash to 2008. Confirmation I was right on 9/11/01.
Parts:
First blow to globalization: 9/11 and its aftermath
The first body blow to globalization was the al-Qaeda terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington DC on September 11, 2001. The immediate reaction was a global effort to find and eliminate al-Qaeda.
Tragically, the U.S. government’s subsequent decision to invade Iraq and the attempt to export democracy to that country, as well as to other countries in the Middle East was not just overly optimistic. It was misguided.
That’s how what was billed as a nation-building and democratization campaign morphed into the “endless war.” At home, this war has long lost the support of most American citizens. Abroad it made the United States look like a paper tiger in the eyes of many in the rest of the world.
That’s also when the main champion of globalization started losing its credibility.
Second blow to globalization: Global financial crisis
The next body blow was the “global” (mostly Western) financial crisis in 2007-08. It erupted in the United States just as clearly as the COVID 19 pandemic erupted in China.
The contagion from the U.S.-made financial crisis spread almost as quickly as the virus made in China.
For the 2010s, the global financial crisis ushered in a period of uncertainty about the resilience of the global financial system, with its attendant economic fallout, just as much as the Coronavirus exposes deep flaws in the architecture of the global public health system, which in turn deeply impairs economies around the world.
The fallout from the financial crisis went well beyond forcing governments everywhere to reconsider their financial links to the United States and building defenses against another crisis of this kind.
Trump’s anti-globalization platform
This brings us to the election of President Donald Trump in November 2016 on an openly anti-globalization platform.
The list of anti-globalization measures adopted by the U.S. government in the four years since then is long and well known. Withdrawal from the World Health Organization is just the latest such step.

@aufever re Clinton Global Initiative, TPTB, “Can’t Get Away With anything Anymore” after 9/11 and 2008.
Where are you getting your info? Bottom line. The USA was the goose that laid golden eggs for the rest of the world. That goose became anemic from all the blood sucking foreign leaches, stuck on us, from our alleged Gov’t with moles.
So, all the programs and crap going on, requires MONEY, from the USA. So, the whole damn world economy, can’t get away with anything not kosher anymore. I guess you never read my posts. Its good to know you are watching and thinking though. Story mentions 22 employees laid off, so I looked it up, 2,000 employees.
Look here, from 2017 News:
The Clinton Foundation Shuts Down Clinton Global Initiative
On January 12, a WARN notice was filed with the New York Department of Labor—the main office of the Clinton Global Initiative would be closing
The Clinton Foundation’s long list of wealthy donors and foreign government contributors during the 2016 elections provoked critics to allege conflicts of interests. Clinton partisans defended the organization’s charitable work, and dismissed claims that it served as a means for the Clintons to sell off access, market themselves on the paid speech circuit, and elevate their brand as Hillary Clinton campaigned for the presidency.
But as soon as Clinton lost the election, many of the criticisms directed toward the Clinton Foundation were reaffirmed. Foreign governments began pulling out of annual donations, signaling the organization’s clout was predicated on donor access to the Clintons, rather than its philanthropic work. In November, the Australian government confirmed it “has not renewed any of its partnerships with the scandal-plagued Clinton Foundation, effectively ending 10 years of taxpayer-funded contributions worth more than $88 million.” The government of Norway also drastically reduced their annual donations, which reached $20 million a year in 2015.
On January 12, the Clinton Foundation received more bad news: a WARN notice was filed with the New York Department of Labor. The main office of the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City would be closing, laying off 22 employees. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) “offers protection to workers, their families and communities by requiring employers to provide notice 60 days in advance of covered plant closings and covered mass layoffs. This notice must be provided to either affected workers or their representatives (e.g., a labor union); to the State dislocated worker unit; and to the appropriate unit of local government.” The reason for the filing was stated as the “discontinuation of the Clinton Global Initative,” after CGI previously announced layoffs leading up to the general election.
The Clinton Global Initiative was created in 2005 to serve as a networking platform for the Clinton Foundation. Both the initiative’s mission and its own definition of what it seeks to accomplish are vague. “Rather than directly implementing projects, CGI facilitates action by helping members connect, collaborate, and make effective and measurable Commitments to Action—plans for addressing significant global challenges,” states the CGI website. The Clinton Global Initiative and Clinton Foundation director of media relations have not responded to requests for a comment.
WikiLeaks revealed several criticisms of the Clinton Foundation were true, as pay-to-play schemes and the foundation’s corrupt management were exposed. On October 26, The Washington Post reported a memo detailed how the Clinton Foundation was used to boost Bill Clinton’s income.
“The memo, made public Wednesday by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, lays out the aggressive strategy behind lining up the consulting contracts and paid speaking engagements for Bill Clinton that added tens of millions of dollars to the family’s fortune, including during the years that Hillary Clinton led the State Department,” reported The Washington Post. “It describes how Band helped run what he called “Bill Clinton Inc.,” obtaining “in-kind services for the President and his family—for personal travel, hospitality, vacation and the like.”

I probably should have mentioned one of our favorites in there somewhere, but it is relatively recent compared to many others.
Clinton Global Initiative.
It has done incredible harm in an historically short period of time. With a lot of help, of course.
As with some of the others, it is hard to find words to apply to this thing.
I would start mentioning certain (‘big’) names but, where would I start and where would I stop?
@ipso facto
Right. So if we may just have to cash out and rotate the funds to another good one. Plenty of choices out there.
When AU and AG finally lift off again, I’ll be buying back DRD and BTG. When AU AG were running up last year, I did very good with them, and cashed them out when they started going flat. They both pay divs and have PEs. Ex div dates coming up soon, but I’ll wait.
DRD: https://schrts.co/MyWdhsxc
BTG: https://schrts.co/qQbveWKe
This one SBSW I bought back soon after selling and kept adding to it. Pays 4.89 div, and 6.6 P/E. Covers lots of good stuff. CDE and AG I never cashed out. Small amounts on occasion.
Rates
we had some very wild gyrations along with very high volume days in the Futures , last week……a typical sign of reversal/blowoff top etc.
Mr.Copper
It’s a lot better if a mining co can work with the gov instead of against them. Even if they win, this dispute isn’t a good thing for AG.
@ipso facto, re AG
I found some info, accuracy unknown.
ipso facto
They’ve done that for a very, very long time.
Seems something has to ‘give’ pretty soon.
aufever @ 14:10
Interesting thoughts. I guess we’ll know soon enough. Hard to keep this kind of thing hidden.
Cheers
Alex
I would like that very much.
I live near Lake Wales. It’s south of Haines City.
Any chance you could get over this way?
Aufever – I recall that you live in Central Florida
I am in Volusia County . We should get together for lunch and a chat some day soon , if you are agreeable .

A few things from my continuous research, and events which fit/confirm what some people are saying:
Biden is not in the White House. Much less the Oval office.
Biden does not control military (not sure what may or may not have happened in Syria).
Biden is not Biden — double or actor, with mask?
Harris not in vice president’s residence.
Military is in control.
Either Trump has been determined to have won the election, or there will be a new election soon.
There is/has been WIDESPREAD pedophilia, human/child trafficking, slavery, and WORSE!, going on all around the world, including here. Known, sanctioned, controlled, and participated in by evil people at even the highest levels of government, business, and entertainment. Including some monarchies, and some of the very wealthiest and most powerful people.
There has been a triumvirate of the Vatican, the Crown, and DC controlling most of the world. Finances, governments, wars, economies, for a very long time.
Using central banks in almost every country, the UN, World Bank, IMF, BIS, CIA, etc.
This is coming to an end. Supposedly there is a new system to replace the Swift system, dubbed the Quantum Financial System. It is designed to prevent manipulation.
When the Fed was shut down temporarily last week, that was possibly a test or the actual cutover.
I believe the Fed and the IRS, among other institutions, are coming to an end.
Some very famous people have already been arrested, some have confessed, and possibly some have been executed. For Treason, Crimes Against Humanity, etc.
The breadth and depth of the corruption and evil occurring and perpetrated on this world is SHOCKING, even to someone who has an inkling of it. How does someone who has no clue deal with it psychologically when the truth spreads? That almost everything they believe about government, media, and some other areas, is completely false? How does one accept that they have been completely brainwashed, for their entire life!?
If you don’t agree with any of this, fine. Corroborate it, dis-corroborate it. But please don’t attack me and my opinions personally. If you do, you can go to hell with the other evil feces roaming this planet. Whose days are coming to an end.
I can’t really post links, because I wouldn’t know where to start. Do your own research.
There may also be unbelievable new energy sources in our future.
I believe the age of enlightenment finally has a chance to dawn on planet Earth.
However, all of this being cleaned up is not a ‘done deal’. There is a war raging. We still and will always need God on our side. Please pray for what is right.
God bless us all.

“rates topped”
That’s what some are saying … at least for a while.
Real inflation is much higher than we’re told. What’s 1 1/2% on the 10 year when inflation is 9 or 10%? Even double that, which would squash the economy is a loser to inflation.
FYI Royalty Stocks
I was just looking at the charts of the group of them, in order of highest dollar volume, and down, FNV WPM RGLD OR SAND MTA EMX MMX ELYGF SROVF.
And EMX at $3.16/sh looks like a good bet. Looks like Sprott has been buying in and one of their investments from 2013 is coming on line soon. Plus on a 6 mo chart, it outperformed physical Gold up 5% versus gold down 5% dip from August. I always have a GLD overlay on all my charting to get perspective.
EMX: https://schrts.co/UMfPxIdG
MTA at $8.90, also still up 50% (was up 125%) versus negative percent on gold on a 6 mo chart.
MTA: https://schrts.co/cbuaNjcR
Naturally we need gold higher. Also on my 155 day chart, SLV is up 25% versus Gold negative about 7%. So favoring silver miners for now. And the best performing AG miners are EXK + 54% and AG + 47% in 6 mo.
Ipso
Maybe rates have topped for awhile?
To me that’s the only thing that will get us turned around, that and a weaker USD I guess.
