Well said ..my thoughts exactly..people were so much better back when the Gubberment was lots smaller..

and bought votes was a real crime easily exposed by the media .Now you need to join a gang for protection…against the media,the politicians,the FBI and every body that wants to fuck with you !

The police are gone,you need to arm yourself and be willing to do what you have to ..there is no government to protect you ..they are the danger you need protection from…What a loss we have had since the wonderful 1950’s when people looked to protect each other and not exploit each other. We had Presidents like Eisenhower instead of the scum of the earth we have today .When you are old enough to remember when things were so much better and you trusted Government …not so today .Government is the problem..

Who could have foreseen that anything could go wrong?

Here’s a comprehansive, detailed analysis of most aspects of the moon landing evidence, and it’s questionableness….

I heard Janet Yellen miss left leaning inflation is transitory while they’re causing it feckless Fed is gonna have her name on the dollars They are actually proud of themselves for messing everything up. It’s like having a picture of Biden at the gas pump.
Her voice reminds me of a cartoon character. I think it was Elmer Fudd

Don’t despair. This will all be over after the dollar is officially dead and no longer used as the world’s reserve currency. After that, whatever happens in the USA will be mostly irrelevant to the rest of the world as long as we stay home and finally stop the decades of bombing and killing going on in order to promote “democracy”. We’ll stop because we won’t have the resources anymore to run our military as we are now. Just as we will lack the money to keep either our health care or our education systems running. And both of those institutions are also little more than useless parasites and criminal operations. It’s all going to end in disaster and death – and we will richly deserve all the suffering we get. What we’ve been doing to other nations will sometime soon be done to us. And it might end with most of us getting mass graves done by bulldozer instead of the ten thousand dollar funerals for each and everyone that we’re used to. There won’t be enough embalming fluid for that.

There is no “straightening it out”. We live in a paradigm unknown to history…absolute full surveillance is now a state option. There will be no gatherings of the “faithful opposition”, save without heavy governmental participation. There will be no unobserved movements that might tend to counter governmental actions. There will be no meaningful “blows against the empire”….

The Internets. Computers. The NSA. I would opine that we should accept this, and party like it’s 1984.

I wondered the exact same thing. Can you imagine how much data has already been scrubbed or “lost” in this entire fiasco? I hope and pray that Elon Musk has a bigger vision and knows what he’s doing. Who is there left to trust anymore? Our government lies to us, the media lies to us, our doctors and corporate medicine lie to us, our schools are filled with left-wing nuts who want to turn our children into sexual beings before they are mature enough to understand what that even means. I think we have now become a dystopian society and that we are beyond hope and beyond repair at this point. It’s every man for himself now and there will be much suffering ahead. Not even Trump can save us from the mess that’s been created. I weep for what this country once was.

The donkey said to the tiger:
– “The grass is blue”.
The tiger replied:
– “No, the grass is green.”
The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit him to arbitration, and for this they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle.
Already before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout:
– “Your Highness is it true that the grass is blue?”.
The lion replied:
– “True, the grass is blue.”
The donkey hurried and continued:
– “The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts and annoys me, please punish him.”
The king then declared:
– “The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence.”
The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating:
– “The Grass Is Blue, The Grass Is Blue”…
The tiger accepted his punishment, but before he asked the lion:
– “Your Majesty, why have you punished me?, after all, the grass is green.”
The lion replied:
– “In fact, the grass is green.”
The tiger asked:
– “So why are you punishing me?”.
The lion replied:
– “That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green.
The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that come and bother me with that question.”
The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on arguments that don’t make sense…
There are people who, no matter how much evidence and evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand, and others are blinded by ego, hatred, and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not.
When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and quiet is worth more.

beat me to it.

Gold was interesting as far as the banksters action was concerned, they had to sell a lot of long contracts to keep gold in check and cover their short positions. By my count they’ve covered around 21K contracts in the last 3 weeks after adding 50K four weeks ago. All that to defend $1800. What’s interesting is that their action seems to have decoupled from the action of the funds, and they are trading against themselves.

Who knows what it means or whether it has any predictive value. Still, silver put in a solid day and gold closed up just shy of $1800

The shares got hit hard in the afternoon with the SM, but on below average volume. GDX, GDXJ and the HUI all failing to take out their 200 dma.

Fed meeting next week. Will probably be dicey until they come out and cut 50 bips instead of 75. I suppose that’s when the real action begins.
