All that glisters............from Rico
To further bowdlerize the line which is so often misquoted from "The Merchant of Venice" ...'all that glisters is NOT necessarily gold.'
- But GOLD sure beats PAPER!!!
Let's look at the percentage change from one year ago in FIAT currencies, US Bonds [debt for librul Democrats (C)], and select COMMODITIES...all against the price of GOLD.
FIAT Currencies
US$ <20.4%>
CN$ <15.7%>
Euro <3.9%>
Yen <9.4%>
US BONDS
1-3 yr <19.1%>
20+ yr <16.4%>
COMMODITIES
Oil +4.7%
Silver +65.5%
Copper +13.3%
Coffee +54.0%
Cotton +44.8%
This is NOT by 'accident' as our Central Bankers well know, since they are the ones distorting economies and markets to keep the 'rigged' PONZI scam running a bit longer. The 'smart' guys that put us into the proverbial crapper did so intentionally, they just are at great pains to keep the fact from us....hence the endless bleating about 'recovery' this and 'green shoots' that. Makes one consider that stocking-up on toilet paper instead of greenbacks might be the sensible way to go.

Army Day!
Happy happy BDay (#236 in fact!) to Great Satan's all weather original voltiguerres - the Army!
"...Two hundred and thirty-six years ago, the United States Army was established to defend our Nation. From the Revolutionary War to the current operations taking place around the world, our Soldiers remain Army Strong with a deep commitment to our core values and beliefs.
"...This 236th birthday commemorates America’s Army – who are achieving a level of excellence that is truly Army Strong. Being Army Strong goes beyond physical endurance and mental preparedness. It encompasses an indomitable spirit, and high ethical and moral values. These are not only desirable traits in a person, but in a Nation that wishes to live up to the ideals and vision of its founders.
"...We are “America’s Army: The Strength of the Nation."
