Gold crossing $5,000 an ounce is not a technical breakout, a speculative frenzy, or a “risk-on trade.” It is a judgment.
Silver pushing past $100 last week only reinforces the point. These prices are not expressions of optimism about growth or productivity. They are expressions of doubt: about currencies, about governments, and about the institutions charged with preserving economic stability.

@freepatriot Anyone really surprised by this news. Since the Patriot Act, I assume all communications are compromised.
In 1988, if you had told anyone that the Soviet Union would cease to exist just four years later, you would have been dismissed as a crank. The institutions looked solid, the bureaucracy entrenched, and the power absolute. Yet by 1992, it was history. Today, European politicians in Brussels, Berlin, and Paris suffer from the same dangerous optimism.
@freepatriot The Spice!
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Im on the side of the largest minority on earth. The individual.
The government is destroying the US with wars, debt, and tyranny, but what do we need government for anyway?
If a private association like the MPAA can regulate movies, why can't the private market regulate other things?
When the TSA fingers your asshole and pulls your cock, is the real purpose to protect you or to make you feel like a degraded slave?
I’m just angry. I don’t see how so many Americans can go calmly with their days as the country accelerates into a calamity it will not recover form.
Meanwhile, we’re witnessing the training and deployment of a paramilitary force that isn’t afraid to violently execute American citizens in broad daylight, in front of cameras, in front of thousands of witnesses.
