Very interesting, gold is dropping at the same time as the markets, at the same time as fiat currencies, but not yet real estate, hmmmmm. So, what do we actually need, shelter, food, water, air, anything else? If things become more difficult can't you imagine four people carpooling to the grocery to stock up? I live in the country so there is a bias, what about city dwellers, how do they intend to cope? How do my less fortunate fellow travelers adjust to hardships. When hurricane Ivan devastated Grenada the poor did pretty okay, not to make light but when you got nothing you got nothing to lose. That's a resilient bunch and the well off and spoiled suffered mental breakdowns and PTSD. Somewhere in there is a lesson.

How about Jimmy Carter II (Joe Biden), as the most incompetent U.S. President ever? Unlike Ross Perot, whose success in business was because he believed in “surrounding himself with eagles”, as I believe you also do. Biden and Carter never learned that particular leadership trait.

Joel another salubrious convocation of syllables that entertain and generously describe the beginning of Armageddon which always starts when the 'money goes' according to our sage from the Pampas or France or is it Ireland these days ? wherever no place will be unscathed by what we are all about to witness .. its exciting because out of chaos can come a new order!

I kinda like the honesty of GWB in that video clip. Indeed he was correct stating both Iraq and Ukraine...he could have added Viet Nam.

There has been lots of talk about amount of gold the US has and it hasn’t been audited for a long time. Care to comment?
