July 22, 2012 ~ I am an avid reader of monetary history. Of late I have been focusing on the monetary events of the 1920s and 1930s. By learning from the maelstrom that riled the global financial scene during those two tumultuous decades, I aim to better understand present circumstances because there are many similarities between then and now.

I’’ve just finished a fascinating book published in 1955 entitled Confessions of The Old Wizard. It is the autobiography of Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht, whose improbable name reflects his North Schleswig ancestry and his father’s admiration of an American newspaper editor. Continue reading →

“For money, some men will allow the innocent to hang. They will turn traitor… they will lie, cheat, steal and they will kill. They appear brilliant, charming and generous! But they are deadly! Such are men as Dimitrios.”

Americans, living in what is called the richest nation on earth, seem always to be short of money. Wives are working in unprecedented numbers, husbands hope for overtime hours to earn more, or take part-time jobs evenings and weekends, children look for odd jobs for spending money, the family debt climbs higher, and psychologists say one of the biggest causes of family quarrels and breakups is “arguments over money.” Much of this trouble can be traced to our present “debt-money” system.

Too few Americans realize why Christian Statesmen wrote into Article I of the U.S. Constitution: Congress shall have the Power to Coin Money and Regulate the Value Thereof.

What went wrong? (Continue…)

I remember a German farmer expressing as much in a few words as the whole subject requires; “money is money, and paper is paper.”

All the invention of man cannot make them otherwise. The alchemist may cease his labors, and the hunter after the philosopher’s stone go to rest, if paper can be metamorphosed into gold and silver, or made to answer the same purpose in all cases.

Gold and silver are the emissions of nature: paper is the emission of art. The value of gold and silver is ascertained by the quantity which nature has made in the earth. We cannot make that quantity more or less than it is, and therefore the value being dependent upon the quantity, depends not on man. Man has no share in making gold or silver; all that his labors and ingenuity can accomplish is, to collect it from the mine, refine it for use and give it an impression, or stamp it into coin.

“C’mon T.C. – let’s git the gold out their teeth!”

April 11, 2011 ~ More Americans work for the government than in manufacturing, farming, fishing, forestry, mining and utilities combined.

If you want to understand better why so many states – from New York to Wisconsin to California – are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, consider this depressing statistic: Today in America there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) than in all of manufacturing (11.5 million).

October 28, 2012 ~ We have recently been told by people, who are new to the idea of precious metals as a part of their ‘survival’ or ‘prepper’ kits, that this site is too difficult to find any information on it. We have been told that they don’t understand this web-site, and what its purpose is. “Why should I buy gold?” is among the questions most often asked. “How will it help me in troubled times?” “Why are of these news articles and headlines on the front page?“

Well dear readers, it’s fairly simple my friends – if you are not aware of what is going around you in the world, and the TRUE economic picture in this country with massive job losses and larger numbers of people living below the poverty line, and the fact that YOUR taxes are being picked from YOUR pocket to feed, cloths, educate and house people who are just too damned lazy to do something about it – then you will NEVER understand why you should own gold and silver.

Wake-up – look around you and stop trying to look at the world through your hi-tech “smart phones” and become aware of the BIG picture. If you are unable or unwilling to scroll down the front page of this web-site and see the category headings, “Why Gold?”, The Gold Bullion Vault, The Silver Bullion Vault, etc., – then maybe you just aren’t as smart as some people seem to think that you are.

Finally, to those of you who can’t figure out why there are no prices posted at this site; there are many gold, silver and platinum products available throughout the world – but this isn’t a one-shop fits all. Each client deserves to know the truth, receive fair and honest treatment, and assistance in the development of their holding-portfolio. There are plenty of places that you can go to on line and do your shopping. We believe that you should understand the reasons for the problem first, then we will gladly assist you with the solution – the RIGHT solution for your family’s needs and goals.

Kettle Moraine Ltd. has proven to be highly competitive in the marketplace throughout the years and will continue to be so.

If what you are about to read doesn’t answer the questions for you – then you will never get it. (Ed.)

May 1, 2012 ~ When civilizations start to die they go insane. Let the ice sheets in the Arctic melt. Let the temperatures rise. Let the air, soil and water be poisoned. Let the forests die. Let the seas be emptied of life. Let one useless war after another be waged. Let the masses be thrust into extreme poverty and left without jobs while the elites, drunk on hedonism, accumulate vast fortunes through exploitation, speculation, fraud and theft.

Reality, at the end, gets unplugged. We live in an age when news consists of Snooki’s pregnancy, Hulk Hogan’s sex tape and Kim Kardashian’s denial that she is the naked woman cooking eggs in a photo circulating on the Internet. Politicians, including presidents, appear on late night comedy shows to do gags and they campaign on issues such as creating a moon colony. “At times when the page is turning,” Louis-Ferdinand Celine wrote in “Castle to Castle,” “when History brings all the nuts together, opens its Epic Dance Halls! hats and heads in the whirlwind! Panties overboard!” Continue reading →
