Bill,
I just finished reading your thought provoking essay. Some food for thought you might like. I’ve watching “the situation” very intently, constantly, since about 1964. No time to tell you everything, but briefly…
Regarding a few of your “WE” s’?
“We have pushed and shoved our way around for years while losing friends and not influencing people”.
“we have succeeded in isolating ourselves ”
“We have been in a bad position for at least 15 years, our manufacturing base is gone.”
(15? More like since the 1971 gold de-peg that “we” did not want)
Bill, try to remember and keep in mind…”WE” are not really ‘we’.
We, patriotic Americans did not do anything bad to ourselves. Think about WW I, the depression, Gold confiscation in ’34, gleaning funds to fight, invest in, WW II, Korea, Vietnam, deindustrialization, mass immigration, lower living standards etc.
The only good high living standard years “THEY” unwittingly or purposely gave us, (like China today) were the years 1945 to 1975.
“We” actually don’t have our own private domestic gov’t anymore after 1913. We have someone else’s gov’t. No domestic gov’t would do to its own people what this one did. Like the Indian Chief that accepted $35 worth of trinkets for Manhattan Island without telling the tribe. Unelected global special interest influences.
Regarding the high volume contracts, I’ve often seen very high volume bars at or on stock chart turning points. Regarding all the odd ball things, I’ve noticed, look for signs, practically everything from the 1945 to 2008 era is in reverse.
Integration, globally, of financial systems, banks, labor, races, religions etc was a big mistake. And its all reversing. I KNEW it long ago and could not do a thing about it. Getting rid of Saddam Hussein for only one example shows the obnoxious stupidity of the master planners.
Also, the US Dollar is not REALLY a US Dollar anymore, its a global Fed Note Dollar.
“China” is not really “China” either. Think about it. “China” did not wake up one morning and say “we are going to be vendor of the world.” Global powers made them what they are. “Japan” too, same thing. Their good years were ’45 to ’89.
Also, deflation can be good for Gold, because deflation, and low rates, shows ineptness or mismanagement with the financial system.
Best regards,
Mr. Copper
