Thanks for this. If we're talking about safe havens, I understand why gold is always the first suggestion, but I'd be interested to hear your comments on land. Unlike gold, they aren't making any more of it, so it should be even better at holding its value. Also unlike gold, it has a "dividend" of sorts. Clearly the catches come with the high cost of entry and the high hassle factor of running it. But if you can't handle those, then there are funds that can do it for you, such as Belport or Craigmore. It sounds like Bill Bonner is a fan of land ownership like me!
This is a note to Joel Bowman, whose thoughts and remarks are so often 'bang on' and 'noteworthy'. Thanks for that.
I'm an old guy (mid-80s) who has written some historical-fiction warnings over the years (including 'THE OIL NOOSE' in 2000, and 'WHAT HAPPENED TO US? North America's Fall from Greatness' in 2020).
Mr. Bowman, I'd like to encourage you to dig deeper than simple side references to the CENTRAL BANKING SYSTEM of our western nations; deep enough to follow-up on the remark: "I care not what puppet is upon the throne of England .... The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply." That statement was reportedly made during the Congress of Vienna in 1814-15, after the Napoleonic Wars, and since that time the western central banking system, and the 'hidden empire' controlling that system, has become 'all powerful' and, I expect, has made multiple-trillions of dollars encouraging and financing major war machines and conflicts, while also controlling the domestic policies and directions of all western governments -- all while hiding in unresearched shadows.
If I had the time and energy to do it, I'd try to shine just a dim light upon that 'hidden empire' from its probable financing of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, the development of Germany's social and military networks early in the 20th century, and the development of the World Bank, NATO, and other major powerful and unaccountable European-based bureacracies running the nations and the economies of the western world today.
May I encourage you to do so at your convenience, hoping the initiative is not too late.
