We Have Been Warned!

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.)

Dickens: I Am A Dinosaur

August 12, 2012 ~ This hit me pretty hard this morning as I performed my new full-time job: looking for work. I use many of the new technologies to locate potential opportunities. This job requires a moderate understanding of technology and infinite patience. It usually requires uploading a resume, then regurgitating this information in excruciating detail on form after form and page after page of online inquisition. The technology exists to extract this data directly from the resume’ but very few use it. They waste my time rather than employ technology to save it. They want the last ten years of job experience. As any contractor in the IT industry will tell you there is insufficient space for this list. Continue reading

Welcome to the Asylum

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

Hanus: The Importance of Owning Precious Metals

December 16, 2013 ~ I’ve talked to a lot of people about why it’s important to own gold and silver, yet I find that most people don’t fully grasp why. Many of the opponents to owning precious metals for preparedness reasons often cite that because they can’t eat it, it’s worthless as a prep.

First, let me just get it out there that I don’t advocate buying precious metals if you aren’t prepared in the other areas, namely food, water, cooking, shelter, defense and so on. Gold and silver aren’t going to do much for you if you’re not prepared to meet the basic needs of your family during a disaster or crisis event. Continue reading

WOW!!! I’M SORRY The Fed Gives A Giant ‘Phuock You’ to Working Class Americans!!

bird-flipping-innovationsMarch 14, 2015 ~ I was shocked today by the absolute gaul of the Fed releasing a statement about Net Worth in America reaching record levels. Now I get that they are under extreme pressure to sell the story that everything is rainbows and butterflies. But surely they understand that working class Americans are going along with the story because they really don’t have any say in our nation’s policies anymore. That doesn’t mean they want it thrown in their faces that the Fed has spent 6 years now inflating the wealth of the top 10% so much that it actually lifts the total wealth of the nation’s citizens to record highs. Continue reading

Buy Gold Below $3,000? ~ You Can’t Lose!

May 14, 2012 ~ I must confess that I’ had been a gold bear for many years. When I reevaluated my position, I surprised myself when my conclusions made a 180-degree turn.

On average gold has an 18-to-20-year life cycle, which implies the bull run will run until 2018-20. The cycle doesn’’t necessarily mean a huge run-up, but it does mean there should be very little downward pressure. The other factor that is encouraging is how most gold cycles, when there are strong signs of upward movement, terminate with an even larger and steeper rise near the end of the cycle. If history is a guide, we should therefore expect the most dramatic phase of the rally to occur six to eight years from now. Continue reading

The Case for a 100 Percent Gold Dollar

President Roosevelt signs the Banking Act of 1933. In the Banking Act of 1933, Congress established the name and legal structure of the FOMC as a formal committee of all 12 Reserve Banks

To advocate the complete, uninhibited gold standard runs the risk, in this day and age, of being classified with the dodo bird. When the Roosevelt administration took us off the gold standard in 1933, the bulk of the nation’s economists opposed the move and advocated its speedy restoration. Now gold is considered an absurd anachronism, a relic of a tribal fetish. Gold indeed still retains a certain respectability in international trade; as the pre-eminent international money gold as a medium of foreign trade can command support. But while foreign trade is important, I would rather choose the far more difficult domestic battleground, and argue for a genuine gold standard at home as well as abroad. Continue reading

JPMorgan Chase: Consumers’ Financial Situations Continue to Worsen!

~ Gold & Silver in Five Easy Lessons ~

1. Don’t buy it because you need to make money; buy it because you need to protect the money you already have.

2. Don’t look at price as a barrier; look at it as an incentive.

3. Don’t buy its paper pretenders; buy the real thing in the form of coins and bullion.

4. Don’t fall prey to glitzy TV ads; do your due diligence instead.

5. Don’t allow naysayers to divert your interest; allow yourself the right to protect your interests as you see fit.

Bullion gold coins will always have value to your fellow Americans, while paper dollars have less and less. As the dollar declines, the price of gold and silver will continue to rise, reflecting the stable purchasing power of the precious metals. What’s more, in a volatile environment, bullion will carry a premium for being reliable and widely accepted money – just as the US dollar does now.

Bullion coins are easy to sell anywhere in the world. And even better, you can barter them locally for the stuff you need – food, clothes, a roof over your head – even if the other guy isn’t a coin enthusiast. In other words, bullion is money.

One of the characteristics that makes gold and silver money is their uniformity – meaning each coin is the same as every other coin of the same weight. Continue reading
