That set things straight for him !

It’s a pretty sorry state of affairs!

Did someone or something seize control of the United States?

What happened to the U.S. border? Where did it go? Who erased it? Why and how did 5 million people enter our country illegally? Did Congress secretly repeal our immigration laws? Did President Joe Biden issue an executive order allowing foreign nationals to walk across the border and reside in the United States as they pleased?

Since when did money not have to be paid back? Who insisted that the more dollars the federal government printed, the more prosperity would follow? When did America embrace zero interest? Why do we believe $30 trillion in debt is no big deal?

Was it not against federal law to swarm the homes of Supreme Court justices, to picket and to intimidate their households in efforts to affect their rulings? How then with impunity did bullies surround the homes of Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, John Roberts and Clarence Thomas — furious over a court decision on abortion? How could these mobs so easily throng our justices’ homes?

Since when did Americans create a government Ministry of Truth? And on whose orders did the FBI contract private news organizations to censor stories it did not like and writers whom it feared?

How did we wake up one morning to new customs of impeaching a president over a phone call? Of the speaker of the House tearing up the State of the Union address on national television? Of barring congressional members from serving on their assigned congressional committees?

When did we assume the FBI had the right to subvert the campaign of a candidate it disliked? Was it legal suddenly for one presidential candidate to hire a foreign ex-spy to subvert the campaign of her rival?

Was some state or federal law passed that allowed biological males to compete in female sports? Did Congress enact such a law? Did the Supreme Court guarantee that biological male students could shower in gym locker rooms with biological women? Were women ever asked to redefine the very sports they had championed?

When did the government pass a law depriving Americans of their freedom during a pandemic? In America can health officials simply cancel rental contracts or declare loan payments in suspension? How could it become illegal for mom-and-pop stores to sell flowers or shoes during a quarantine but not so for Walmart or Target?

Since when did the people decide that 70 percent of voters would not cast their ballots on Election Day? Was this revolutionary change the subject of a national debate, a heated congressional session or the votes of dozens of state legislatures?

What happened to election night returns? Did the fact that Americans created more electronic ballots and computerized tallies make it take so much longer to tabulate the votes?

When did the nation abruptly decide that theft is not a crime, assault not a felony? How can thieves walk out with bags of stolen goods, without the wrath of angry shoppers, much less fear of the law?

Was there ever a national debate about the terrified flight from Afghanistan? Who planned it and why?

What happened to the once trusted FBI? Why almost overnight did its directors decide to mislead Congress, to deceive judges with concocted tales from fake dossiers and with doctored writs? Did Congress pass a law that our federal leaders in the FBI or CIA could lie with impunity under oath?

Who redefined our military and with whose consent? Who proclaimed that our chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff could call his Chinese communist counterpart to warn him that America’s president was supposedly unstable? Was it always true that retired generals routinely libeled their commander-in-chief as a near Nazi, a Mussolini, an adherent of the tools of Auschwitz?

Were Americans ever asked whether their universities could discriminate against their sons and daughters based on their race? How did it become physically dangerous to speak the truth on a campus? Whose idea was it to reboot racial segregation and bias as “theme houses,” “safe spaces” and “diversity”? How did that happen in America?

We are beginning to wake up from a nightmare to a country we no longer recognize, and from a coup we never knew.

Comment: Below my response to the author:

Victor,

We all know what happened after the start of creating excess money supply for World War I, in 1917 which caused the inflationary roaring 1920s leading to a long depression, then Gold ownership was outlawed in 1934 to enable the start a new round of inflation printing for WW II.

I actually know the whole story, and in my opinion 9/11/01 has led to a reversal and the beginning of the end of the Fed Res Act of 1913, causing practically everything to reverse. Even Trump was a reversal of presidents.

So long as the SM is cruising higher, the scum may let us move up as well…..

Still not a bad day, or the type of day that we’re used to seeing where they take back all gains in 5 minutes. Not saying it won’t happen tomorrow, but for now seems like normal action for a pm market that might want to move higher.

Mr. Copper, FOX Business still shows what must be the gold futures price @ $2,020.

Best guess is that the futures contracts rolled into a future month and that is the new estimate of price going forward.

I can’t argue with that.

These days you can never underestimate the US’s capacity for doing something stupid!

is rejected by the people .he was trying to GRAB the same type of Power BIDEN has with control over Judicial,Military and FBI counter part  in Israel ..Absolute  Power corrupts Absolutely .

US Government is corrupted absolutely..A dangerous world with leaders like that , ends in Civil War or World war where the Nuclear threat assures self Destruction if Power hungry politicos get their way.The US and Israel will become ..N .Korea..  then what ? That leaves CHINA as a “moderate force ” complete Communist control ..Things get so out of control that makes CHINA look “moderate”..This is the end result of the loss of Democracy in the US..

Things are deteriorating so fast the next election may be too far off to save the worlds “beacon on the hill “.

Jews in Israel and US Democrats had better watch out ,they will self destruct the whole Western Civilization…

Now my faith is in God, and I don’t get let down!

You need more faith!

Re: “silver shares” Roger that … a good sign.

and I’ve been watching it climb, so I might have to chase because it’s not pulling back.

For awhile there it looked like it would go down on days when the metals were up.

I’ll grab a little soon, maybe today, cause it looks like it may keep running. But if I buy it, you probably should sell! 🙂

Pretty good day today considering the action in the USD. Silver shares continue moving higher. So far, a pretty modest pullback.

That sure is strange. I tried googling it but found nothing dated today. I checked Amex they show gold at 1988.

Meta’s Threads ‘Bombs’ As Daily Active Users Halved

The hype surrounding “Threads,” the new social network launched by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has collapsed. Threads has unraveled so quickly that new data shows active users have been halved.

Threads launched in the US on July 5 and reached over 100 million sign-ups by that weekend. Shortly after, Zuckerberg wrote in a post, “Can’t believe it’s only been five days!”

Zuckerberg appears to have prematurely taken a victory lap because early last week, we noted data from SensorTower and SimilarWeb showing an exodus of users and a plunge in engagements. The note was titled Threads Unravels: So-Called ‘Twitter Killer’ App Sees Exodus Of Users, Plunge In Engagement.

FOX Business ticker shows gold up $37 to $2018

I don’t see confirmation on Kitco or TD Ameritrade.

Maybe the futures prices changed. I guess that would indicate that buying in the future will be a lot more expensive. 🙂

DXY back above 100, although I’m not sure it will last as it has drifted lower in the last hour or so.

G & S are flat with gold down $.40 and silver up $.02

Seems to me, yesterday’s move higher was just playing catch-up with the cratering dollar of the last couple weeks. JMHO.

For this to be happening now, suggests that China may be happy with it’s gold purchases……could they announce to the World just how much they have…..it is likely to be way above official numbers.

Autumn Gold as far as the eye can see.
