Seems the .month always lasts longer than that deposit! Oh well! Looks like we're all in the kettle together! Thx, Bill Ali

Well Bill I think your summary today seems logical. Our debt is worse than any of us BPR readers can understand ( I don't think anyone in the government understands it either). There is a BIG GAME being played out here that none of us have any control over. Even though P.M.'s have gone down a lot since Jan 29, 2026 we are still up over 50% from Jan 2025. I know we can't eat gold or silver but I'll bet on history, I'll stay with what has worked for 5000 years. I've noticed the central banks and other "big shooters" continue to hang onto history.

It's only a matter of time until the USD is revalued from $42.22 (1973) to mark to market. Hang on for a crazy ride.

The debt numbers here and globally are so enormous I’m not sure anyone is able to grasp them and/or come up with a solution to the debt’s impact our society and governance, or for global society and governance. Perhaps Claude, Gemini or some other Ai model will come up with the answer and implement it for us…🙄

I think one could conclude that catastrophic decisions and policies, of which the US has made a number of, eventually lead to catastrophic consequences, of which we're now beginning to experience, is just the tip of the iceberg of what's to come.

So as the phony façade of Republican “opposition” fades, the next administration, determined to “right the ship,” can only load it with more lead, sinking it to the bottom faster.

Since Bill reports from the ranch in Argentina when he's there, I would like to get his observations on city/town/country life in Ireland. Their demographics have changed significantly, and shit has been happening, not good stuff. What does it feel like as an older man or woman to mingle with the public lately? My Irish side would like to know.

Bill, enjoyed your missive today. I have to say it was a bit ominous, leading many of us to wonder what "it" is going to look like or feel like when it all goes south. However, to be sure, it most probably won't look like anything we can imagine, as most Americans alive today have not faced such hardships in their lifetime, so there is that. Bill, I just have one request relating to the information you share with us and that is: please stop supporting your content and contention by quoting the legacy press. Each time you do I want to stop reading. You well know that only 28% of Americans trust or believe what the press reports. Your use of the press as "proof" of the validity of your content only serves to diminish your words.

Tom, my perspective is that when Bill quotes the legacy press, it is not because he believes them, but because these are the sources that guide the feds in their decision making. With our policy makers following such guides, what can we expect?

And I don't ask that question in the exasperated, rhetorical sense, but as an honest question. Our decision makers follow those sources, so what are they likely to do?

Thoughtful comment, you may well be correct.

Thank you! I try to be thoughtful, kind, and a peacemaker. I run into so much contention these days, but a reply like yours is balm to my soul.

Correction, Gold is revalued from $42.22 to mark to market.
