PAYING SUBSCRIBERS CAN ACCESS THE FEBRUARY MONTHLY STRATEGY REPORT BELOW, PUBLISHED LAST EVENING BY INVESTMENT DIRECTOR TOM DYSON, WHO IS CURRENTLY TRAVELING IN INDIA
any fraud comments, Bill? NOPE, just blow by that for your left wing talking points! NYTimes should be calling soon, you're such a good little soldier!
Bill I realize that you are not in the US right now so you might not be as up to date on what is going on with the the whole involvement of the Minnesota government leaders with the "signal" chat forums that are planning and directing the whole resistance effort. As a world traveler and land owner in several countries, could you name me just one country that you can fly to and enter without the proper paperwork shown to customs when you arrive. Did any of those countries just let you come sauntering in and give you a free cell phone and a place to stay. Are the people of Ireland or Argentina or France expected to pay for your housing and food and phone bills. Do they think they would let you come into their country and stay on the dole for ten years like 70% of the Somali's are. Let me ask you, if you have a drivers license, does that give you the right to block traffic and interfere with police officers in the middle of making an arrest. If you have a conceal to carry license does that give you the right to insert yourself in the middle of any law enforcement operation? I was struck by Gov. Walsh's comment after talking to Tom Holman and making the announcement that he was very interested that they investigate the two "murders" that Ice was involved in. It seemed odd that not one media source, including conservative news agencies didn't mention that Gov. Walsh had already tried and convicted the ICE agents just like Joe Biden tried and convicted the Border agents in Texas for "whipping" poor people trying to enter the country illegally. I am not sure where you get your information but you might want to try to find something a little more balanced. The two people who unfortunately lost their lives were just as much to blame as anyone else. Ice agents aren't driving down the road shooting at people in cars or walking down the street. Gov Walsh told another of his half truths when he said all illegal immigrants are turned over to ICE. What he failed to mention is that is only the ones coming out of state prisons and only after they have served their sentence. No mention of all the county and municipal law enforcement who are required to release them. Is your hatred for Trump so clouding your vision you can't see the whole picture here?
Oh, they weren't murders? These masked Nazi thugs are not trained police officers. They stand stupidly in front of cars and then complain about the car moving and, then, kill the driver instead of being thankful she's leaving. They mob on top of a guy (who, incidentally, happens to be a huge value to society) and instead of putting on handcuffs, two of the taxpayer-paid thugs shoot him. Is that the type of "service" you endorse.
How did your ancestors arrive? Did they report to the US consulate? If they are like mine, they boarded a ship and were whisked through "immigration", settled on land formerly occupied by Native Americans and went on to make sometimes significant contributions to American and world society and economy. My US first-born ancestor invented many of instruments used by the Bessemer Steel furnaces. And that is minor compared to the contributions of the millions (yours included?) of immigrants allowed to thrive in the "Promised Land". The US is unique in that anyone, as President Reagan said, can become an American and that's what most immigrants aspire to and contribute to if allowed. But Trump is a whack job in multiple ways.
Such as: Dealing the final death knoll of our formerly #1 (steel) industry by Trump's monopoly blessing to one company during his first term so, today, our country doesn't even begin to innovate or compete in the world market--and, not only does every US company that manufactures products requiring steel find it impossible to compete internationally, but we, as consumers have been forced since 2018 to pay much higher prices for every product that requires steel--all thanks to Trump.
Aside from devastating the country economically he has spread his hateful rhetoric and lose-lose (he thinks it's win-lose, which is bad in itself) philosophy over the whole world. He promised peace and prosperity and is delivering war and impoverishment in the US, while inadvertently doing great service to every other country in the world which, motivated by his clownish hate speech toward them, is realizing that the US is no longer so great, realizing they can do better than the US and they are even forming useful alliances to protect and develop themselves.
China, which learned to avoid this type of thuggery in 1989, which speaks positively to everyone (even to Trump, except when goaded to react to his childish aggressions), and which controls its big corporations and serves the "little guy", has now surpassed the US in virtually every measure. Despite having to deal with 50 different ethnicities and languages, the country is not only booming but bringing prosperity to the entire Southern Hemisphere--a world that the US and Europe have intentionally suppressed for centuries (since the Monroe Doctrine by the US). As China learns from us (and actually loves us and wants to spend billions here but aren't allowed by Trump) it is forming win-win alliances over much of the world, while the US slides backwards.
I guess I'm wrong but isn't someone innocent until proven guilty. Please don't tell me that they will get off because the judicial system is rigged. It's the same system that let Hillary walk after destroying all the evidence of classified materials and the same system that said Donald Trump committed fraud when no one was defrauded and everybody got what they wanted out of the deal.
My wife has traced my ancestors go back to Jamestown and you are right they just walked ashore and didn't have to show any papers. We didn't call them immigrants, we called them settlers because that is what they did. They didn't get a free axe and an already made cabin with established fields and gardens, they had to build it all on their own. No cell phones not hotel rooms just a sandy beach that led to forests.
You were right when you quoted President Regan that any immigrant can become a US citizen but what you seem to forget that when he said that he meant a legal immigrant you just didn't have to say the legal part, it was just understood. It's like today you have to say that someone is a biological female instead of just female and if the US is so bad why are so many people breaking our laws to get here.
China didn't learn to avoid thuggery they just learned not to be so obvious about it. Their whole "Silk Road" plan is a classic example of this. Ask the Uyghur's in western China if China has stopped it's thuggery. Try walking into China without any paperwork and see how far you get. Do a little research and see how many Trillions of dollars worth of industrial plans and formulas the Chinese have stolen from American corporations. The Chinese are very good at smiling at you and saying we won't do that again and keep right on doing what they are doing.
One last comment, you say the ICE officer was so dumb to stand in front of the vehicle. I see "peaceful protestors" standing in front of ICE vehicles each day on the news. I guess it's ok to run over them when they should be thankful that the car was leaving?
The Nation approach that we mostly have now in the world does imply some form of immigration control across borders. The US appears to have poor and archaic immigration practices as the government system has failed to keep up, and people on the ground suffer as a consequence. Other countries seem much better on the topic. Maybe a better government approach is required? Maybe all this struggle trying to interpret a 250 year old document written by white slave holders might not be the ideal way forward. Maybe the Trump approach of totally breaking the system is correct after all. Either way - rapid change is the likely outcome.
You might be making a mistake labeling murders by masked thugs as "left wing propaganda". We know about the stupidity and incompetence of Biden. That's why we voted for Trump. Shouldn't we condemn policies and octopus that are even more "UnAmerican"? Would you be praising Biden if he had sent masked thugs to abuse and kill and then lie about it into red states?
Then don't read and work on becoming as abusive, ignorant and warmongering as our president. Gold isn't booming for nothing. The people at Davos who tried to understand what on earth Trump was talking about and then gave a standing ovation to an actual leader (who tore Trump to shreds) knew what they were doing and are not partisan idiots.
Angry. Well that certainly justifies mobbing on top of the guy and having 2 people shoot him. Even Trump himself pulled those guys and their leadership, but you justify it????
Dear Bill I do not feel the need to castigate your missive today as my colleagues have done an admirable job. However, I would like to point out that the average reading comprehension of Americans is somewhere in the vicinity of the sixth grade. The national debt is about 38 trillion. The unfunded liabilities debt (social security, pensions, Medicare, Medicaid) are around 160 trillion. Additionally you have the far left National Education Association funding the Democratic Party to the tune of 22 million in 2024. This is same organization that is responsible for 6th grade reading skills, and in return for their 22 million contribution, the democrats provide legislation to further ensure socialist concepts and behavior are taught in our school at the expense of academic rigor and economic literacy. Bill, maybe you could tie this information into connecting the dots? Money is your beat, right?
Tom, you can't see that Trump is even worse--incredible as that might seem. Let's check back in a few months and see what will be the results if he continues his warmongering and insulting behaviors.
Yes Ed, good idea but I think two years is a more realistic metric. It takes a long time to redirect the ship in the face of such strong political currents.
Bill, I like so many of most other responders I also do tire of your one sided missives of what’s really going on in the streets of
our sanctuary cities.
You say most American’s disapproves of what they are seeing play out with illegals being removed. I call BS big time. MOST law abiding sane Americans are waking up to the fact that sources of NGOs, socialist organizations & many other entities that hate America are involved in the mayhem playing out in the streets. Bill, I wonder if you have nads enough to say stop the protest and let Ice deport those in jail who have rap sheets & those who have gamed out benevolent system?
Maybe you haven't noticed the millions of people--even former supporters--hitting back. And just wait a few months until you see the price of gold, the depression he's creating and peoples' response to all that.
Today's missive not worth a serious comment. But how about this re: Senor Bill, it could be lead poisoning from too much Tocata wine, it's very heavy and you can't see through it, but it makes you feel pretty, pretty smart...
Bill, don't feel too sorry for the old coot. Remember, the Trumps have enriched themselves by 1.4 billion dollars during this administration, - so far!
Bill, todays rant is almost entirely b.s. Fox and Newsmax are showing numerous polls with Trumps approval ratings higher then ever. You seem to never remember the 35 trillion dollar deficit Biden left Trump and an economy in shambles.
Bob, please remember that Trump ran up a debt of $7.8 trillion in his first term and that the national debt increased by over $2 trillion in 2025. Unfortunately both teams are destroying the US while their supporters argue amongst themselves. It's just like debating whether it will be Coke or Pepsi - both products are poisonous garbage.
any fraud comments, Bill? NOPE, just blow by that for your left wing talking points! NYTimes should be calling soon, you're such a good little soldier!
Bill's a truth teller. I and others admire his articulate explanations of the conduct of what will likely be one of the worst presidents ever.
OK.......some see it a little differently. Omission of vital facts that may be inconvenient to your point, is being dishonest AT BEST!
Bill I realize that you are not in the US right now so you might not be as up to date on what is going on with the the whole involvement of the Minnesota government leaders with the "signal" chat forums that are planning and directing the whole resistance effort. As a world traveler and land owner in several countries, could you name me just one country that you can fly to and enter without the proper paperwork shown to customs when you arrive.

Stop it, Lynn. You're going to confuse Mr. Bonner with the facts. Good job!
Well done!

You should join the “peaceful protesters “ in Minneapolis and see if you still see it the same way.
I think he already has... a least in spirit.
quite peaceful

TDS BONNER
Not here for left wing propaganda. Please stick to economics, Mr. Bonner. This is getting boring.
You might be making a mistake labeling murders by masked thugs as "left wing propaganda". We know about the stupidity and incompetence of Biden. That's why we voted for Trump. Shouldn't we condemn policies and octopus that are even more "UnAmerican"? Would you be praising Biden if he had sent masked thugs to abuse and kill and then lie about it into red states?

The people at Davos who tried to understand what on earth Trump was talking about and then gave a standing ovation to an actual leader (who tore Trump to shreds) knew what they were doing and are not partisan idiots.
I think you should move permanently to socialist France . It would fit your socialist ideas . You are not the libertarian you claim to be.
Well, libertarians are a mixed breed. Some good, some unhinged. Take Senator Rand Paul - he's both.
So Alex Pretti is painted as the "victim".
Mr. Bonner apparently did not see what happened the week prior to Alex's demise.
Spitting on agents and kicking-out taillights of ICE vehicles.
-
Despite the broken rib Pretti received from initiating his first ICE beating.
He inexplicably felt it necessary to harass the agents again.
Armed.
-
Has it occurred to BB likely some of the agents recognized Pretti...
Another hard FAFO lesson...
Angry. Well that certainly justifies mobbing on top of the guy and having 2 people shoot him. Even Trump himself pulled those guys and their leadership, but you justify it????
Your approval of the execution -- the murder -- of a defenseless person by Trump's Brown Shirts is reprehensible.
He conduct was protected by our Constitution; the manner by which he was restrained then killed was akin to what Nazis did to Jews.
You seem to miss the point about all these rights you say are violated, are only violated for the illegal immigrants which they should be.
Tell that to the 170 American Citizens illegally detained by ICE!
Dear Bill I do not feel the need to castigate your missive today as my colleagues have done an admirable job.

The only dots Mr. Bonner connects come from the left wing media.

I believe most Americans don't want thousands of unassimilated illiterate illegals changing the cultural make-up of their town or neighborhood.
Didn’t think so!!!
Nope, he doesn't.
Another Trump hit piece by Bill Bonner. The numbers of which are growing exponentially.
Maybe you haven't noticed the millions of people--even former supporters--hitting back. And just wait a few months until you see the price of gold, the depression he's creating and peoples' response to all that.
Today's missive not worth a serious comment. But how about this re: Senor Bill, it could be lead poisoning from too much Tocata wine, it's very heavy and you can't see through it, but it makes you feel pretty, pretty smart...
Now that's a really "serious comment", drtomcor.
blah blah blah - same shit, new day. Get over it already. We don't see you coming up with anything better.
Your like a kid in the backseat saying "are we there yet".
President Trump is living rent free in that empty head of yours.
I guess it is true, the older you get the less your brain functions properly....
🤣Absolutely hilarious and true at the same time!
Cheap shot
not to cheap
Enough Trump bashing. Getting tired of this newsletter.
Tommy, there's and easy solution: stop reading and making yourself miserable.
Bill, don't feel too sorry for the old coot. Remember, the Trumps have enriched themselves by 1.4 billion dollars during this administration, - so far!
Bill, todays rant is almost entirely b.s. Fox and Newsmax are showing numerous polls with Trumps approval ratings higher then ever. You seem to never remember the 35 trillion dollar deficit Biden left Trump and an economy in shambles.
