Will it soon be illegal for individuals to store gold?

Mac Slavo has a post at Zero Hedge where he asks that very question. The U.S. government did it before, and they will do it again if they begin to lose control of their fiat currency. Bill Bonner and Tom Dyson have written extensively about the Dow to Gold ratio as have others as a key to maintaining wealth in the inflationary times that come with debasement of the currency.

Let’s see, Congress decides to issue checks to citizens and the Fed decides to purchase the debt to create the money out of vapor. China and the U.S. could begin their trade war again as the Wuhan Flu crisis continues to wreck the world’s economy. Is it any wonder why gold has shot up this year?

What to do?

I’m converting some cash to gold. There are so many options these days, but I’m going to focus on physical gold.

It is time to STOP federal funding of higher education

Campus Reform has an interesting article outlining how many universities are allowing the CCP on their campuses in the form of Confucius Institutes. As they noted in their article, the Confucius Institutes are simply communist propaganda institutes. The chief propagandist even admitted so. Further, we have seen an increase in the number of academic’s being tried for illegally selling taxpayer funded research. These people are supporting the communist takeover of the U.S. and these institutions are supporting it. As our founders have said, “we have given you a republic, if you can keep it,” and apparently, we can’t. Or least those in charge can’t.

Conspiracy Theorists will Love This

Zero Hedge has a post that says “A report published by the European Commission in late 2019 reveals that the EU has been looking to increase the scope and power of vaccination programmes since well before the current “pandemic”.“ This will certainly add fodder to those conspiracy theorists surrounding the Wuhan Flu pandemic.

Zero Hedge Calls it

Zero Hedge has a post talking about the Wuhan disaster occurring in the commercial real estate market.

Bankruptcy Tsunami Begins: Thousands Of Default Notices Are “Flying Out The Door”

The total impact of the virus on the commercial real estate landscape isn’t known. However, between the work from home movement, home school movement, and realization that urbanization isn’t the end all be all, we might see a significant number of prime properties hit the market at bargain basement prices. Unlike prior real estate crashes, this one might end differently.

Back to the Future

Glad to know someone else thinks like me! Get the professionals out of DC and watch the people gain control of their government.

LA Times Editorial Board Proves How Truly Uneducated It Is

I could not believe it when I saw a post on one of my favorite social media sites. The post stated there was an editorial in the LA Times titled “Editorial: The electoral college is a blot on democracy. The Supreme Court shouldn’t make it worse”. I figured it had to be click bait, but I clicked anyway.

It is not that I value the editorial board’s opinions, but I certainly thought they were well schooled in the precepts of the Constitution. Boy was I wrong.

I know many think we were founded to be a democracy, but our founders loathed a democracy. In a democracy, the majority rules and to hell with the minority.

In the US, the majority that rules are the states as well as the people. I realize the progressives have wanted to get rid of states and make us one big country. Once they accomplish this goal you can be assured the U.S. will no longer be the country is has been or was intended to be. We will quickly devolve into a banana republic….If we haven’t already.

The Wuhan Flu

No matter what happens with the upcoming lockdowns of various states, a couple of things you can be sure of. First, the virus will never be as bad as those models say. Why? Because they aren’t very well thought out and the assumptions (variables) rarely match reality. The guy in the UK’s model that is being accepted by everyone hasn’t been reviewed critically. Until that happens, his model is no better than Joe the Plummer’s.

Second, the people doing the modeling are the same people who believe in global warming and designed those models. While they arrive at a conclusion, they have fixed variables that do not resemble life or reality.

Long and short of it, my prediction is that the Wuhan Flu will end up with the same level of death as the H1N1 from ten years ago. Not much was made about it, and perhaps a lot should have. But, there is no reason to shutdown everything. The results of the shutdown will likely far exceed the results of the virus. Now, it won’t fee that way for those who lost friends, family and loved ones. However, you must step back and look at it from a societal point of view and see if the cure is worse than the curse.
