We live in a ‘world’ convinced that a digital thing is reality. We just need to press a button or print some paper and the problems will be solved over night. They’ve been to the ‘Cheshire Cat’ University, but failed to graduate. “ If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.

Reality is always lurking and disruptively asserts itself, from time to time.

David, May I highly recommend a book to the readers of your channel? “Popping the Crypto Bubble” by Darren Tseng/ Stephen Diehl/ & Jan Akalin. ISBN: 978-1-915597-01-4

Those prescient individuals who went counter the herd and stacked silver are soon to get their due.

" . . . imagine then that the government was led by a thug . . . "

Given that our current UK PM has gone out of his way to prove himself a thug, and has had the courts doing his dirty work for him with regard to social media posters who expressed banned feelings and forbidden opinions, with no public signs of dissent from any of his fellow 'human rights' barristers, etc., I wonder if that riding roughshod scenario might be more likely than many seem to think. Puppet ministers summon their own demons, which all have the same useful surname (Emergency).

Whilst excited by the current drama of precious metals priced in fiat currencies, I fear we might be heading into a tragedy as dark as any Shakespeare imaged into form. Scenes characterised by atmospheres as deathly as King Lear, as evil as Macbeth, would, I fear, be an outcome those directing our governments would consider to be comedy, a masque fit for a king.

They’ll have me whipped for speaking true,

thou ’lt have me whipped for lying,

and sometimes I am whipped for holding my peace . . .

So said Lear's fool.

Well said.

One moral we might take from this story:

Things you cannot question are not true.

Inversion strategy is everywhere.

And there are more and more things that are not to be questioned. In this there is base and superstructure, which is an inverted pyramid. The base unreality is formed of events that, we are told, occurred during WW2. This is the founding myth of a false reality. It was only when I realised that my entire life had been lived within a massive unreality that I began to make sense of the superstructure. Then I realised I didn't know what money was and when I got that sorted out I experienced agency in ways I had not done before.

Only the truth will be left standing - always.

Can't wait - back to reality and price discovery 😁

Let's not forget that $50 isn't $50 anymore:

$50 in 1980 = $199.96 in 2024

3.2% Average Inflation from 1980 to 2024

Yes indeed, it's coming! Great article, I had wondered if they could print and save the LBMA.

A Big Mac is 6x the 1980 price and has less meat.

I use the 6x multiplier as a point of reference.

Regarding element Ag47, is the future 47th POTUS hinting at something ahead? I recall DJT having a portrait of Andrew Jackson, 7th POTUS, behind his desk in the Oval Office when he sat there as the former President, while seemingly at odds with the Federal Reserve at times. There was an assassination attempt on Jackson, too, not long before he terminated the Second Bank of the United States during his second term. He was a man of similar age to DJT, also of whom many either loved or hated. The future often rhymes with the past, depending on the present Pythagorean poets. We'll soon see what they've written for November.

He is a man of many disguises and very difficult to decipher.

Unfortunately the coins are $100 for a 1 oz. silver coin.

I find it peculiar as to why he, and certain news reports, are referring to them as coins. What qualifies them as such being they have no denomination nor are they issued by the US Mint, shouldn't they be described strictly as medallions or rounds? What am I missing? I thought only government can authorize the issuance of coins, unless....

At any rate, I'm confident he'll soon be dusting off and donning (no pun intended) his POTUS disguise one more time.

Probably calling them coins because of their shape.

A similar problem occurred in the U.S in 1980. The Hunt brothers were accused of trying to corner the silver market. I am unclear if they ever actually broke any law, but details like that are not always deemed important to the powers that be.

The solution was imposed on the brothers and the problem was resolved. They were only allowed to sell silver.

It doesn’t take too much imagination to see this occurring on a large scale.

That may be a bridge too far, however I doubt that rich and powerful people will be allowed to take billions in loses. As the late George Carlin said: “it’s a big club and you ain’t in it”.

The 0.0001% of the population only make the rules when the remainder are sleeping. When a fraction of the majority start to wake up, the games are terminated.

David, this "thug" that you speak of, could he really ride rough shod over the law and the courts?

Expand full comment

Not legally, however our governments have recently shown us that they do not care and create whatever rules they wish. The courts are supplicants to gov in many cases.

Good job this isn't France. They would have the city at a standstill if anyone pulled a stunt like that over there.

The ethical dimension underpinning the whole system is this: what's moral is what's legal and what's legal is for sale.

Indeed, indeed.
