Decent people lost their jobs. Big money is big power, and big power gets used wrong. It's the system." ~Raymond Chandler , The Long Goodbye -

Beef… It ain’t what’s for dinner!
SALE: Rip-Off Eye Steak, Bonless
Don’t forget a vegetable and salad-fixins and potato dish – and oh yeah – a bottle of wine – add sales tax and Corono-virus surcharge – and it will cost you probably 7 ounces of silver – which is also selling at inflated cost.

Fear, Mr. Bond, takes Gold out of circulation…
“Gold, Mr. Bond.”

There are no Swiss banks in Goldfinger although “Goldfinger, in ready money, is the richest man in England. In Zürich, in Naussau, in Panama, in New York, he has twenty million pounds’ worth of gold bars on safe deposit.” But Goldfinger uses Switzerland as the hub of his gold trafficking (which was illegal at the time in some European countries). There he has a discreet plant where he melts down car parts made of solid gold to then discreetly bank them or ship them on. Switzerland never had capital controls that prevented the free flow of gold or other precious metals, and this makes it even today the world’s first market for gold. In the movie, Goldfinger uses this Swiss freedom to his advantage. Continue reading
Bill Gates & Food Corporations Worked To End Livestock Production, Pushed Lab Grown Meat

Das ist der Teufel
Do you wonder why the media wants you panicked about the food supply and why farms are slaughtering and aborting animals? Bill Gates and food giant Tyson have both heavily backed lab-grown meat research.
The death and destruction and economic terrorism wages on humanity has reached truly horrifying levels. These elitists want total global domination. Continue reading
Gold Is Money and COMEX Is Failing

“If you’ve got gold, you’ve got money. If you don’t have gold you have a problem.” ~ Alasdair Macleod
When Alasdair Macleod originally spoke those words, several years ago, it blew my mind. It still blows my mind in it’s simplistic and precise use of language. Alasdair has been teaching us all about gold for a very long time. We all owe him a debt of gratitude that we will never be able to repay. Continue reading
The Fed Has Gone Nuts… and It Can Get Worse
With its $700 billion bond-buying expansion in response to the COVID crisis, the Federal Reserve has thrust itself into the limelight. Like a sixteen-year-old with a credit card, the Fed is salivating over what money-printing powers it shall seize next. How is the prudent investor to respond?
First, what the Fed’s already done: pushed interest rates to zero and expanded into “unlimited” buying of assets, now reaching to corporate bonds and local government bonds. These bring the same concerns we had in 2008: trillions in new money to dilute the spending power of current savers, along with the risk of “moral hazard” where government covers the losses for corporate, and government, irresponsibility.

They’re All High on Fed Fairy Dust
Everybody realizes the US economy is in a bad spot. But most people still seem to believe it will bounce right back once we deal with the coronavirus.
They’re all high on Federal Reserve fairy dust. Continue reading
Are You Ready For The Great Depression Of The 2020’s?

For those of you that were expecting just a “deep recession”, I am afraid that you are going to be very disappointed. It took years for the U.S. economy to fully unravel in the 1930s, but now we have witnessed a similar level of economic devastation in just a matter of weeks. More than 26 million Americans have already lost their jobs, economic activity has come to a standstill, people are lining up for miles at food banks all over the nation, and businesses are being permanently shuttered at a staggering pace. But the good news is that some states will attempt to “reopen” their economies in the weeks ahead. Continue reading
Did you know???
Well… it’s ALL bats to me!

U.S. Mint, 2020 Washington Quarter
Many theories have been advanced to explain the origins of the novel COVID-19 coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, ranging from the prosaic finding that it was merely a natural mutation to the conspiratorial claim that it was a bioweapon created in a Chinese laboratory. One much-discussed possibility was that the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus originated in bats and made the jump from bats to humans through an intermediate species. Continue reading
No, This Is Not Another 1929, 1973, 1987, 2000, or 2008
Basing one’s decisions on analogs from the past is entering a fool’s paradise of folly.
Like addicts who cannot control their cravings, financial analysts cannot stop themselves from seeking some analog situation in the past which will clarify the swirling chaos in their crystal balls. So we’ve been swamped with charts overlaying recent stock market action over 1929, 1987,2000 and 2008–though the closest analogy is actually the Oil Shock of 1973, an exogenous shock to a weakening, fragile economy.
