Snow bound reflection

Good post up today by Francis. Go read it for yourself, but pay special attention to the links he provides, and follow through. Most of the reads (four) are quite short, but VERY illuminating if you have never done so.

So, what’s its all about? Money. The one thing that truly defines power in our modern world. What is money? Well, you can go read for yourself, can’t you. My definition tends to be ‘Time in tangible form for mutual exchange’. And thats pretty close, but doesn’t dig into real details, like interest or inflation/deflation.

Francis posted a pic there that I kinda had a problem with.

My problem with it isn’t that its wrong press, but that ‘one is increasing in value,,,’ Actually, no, it isn’t. Its just that the one losing value is what most everybody has accepted as the base and so it seems like the other is gaining. This is NOT the case.

Example: If I had been alive in 1911, I could have purchased a brand new Colt 1911 .45 ACP for 10 silver dollars. Since that time, the price of Gold/Silver has risen and the cost of that Colt has as well. Or is it that the Dollar is just worth LESS? Bingo, we has a winner! Gold is still holding its value, even 100+ years later.* I can still buy a Colt for around 10 silver dollars, depending on the exchange rate of the day. I can ‘upgrade’ to a finer version for a Gold Eagle (which in 1911 was a $20 gold piece) and even today, I don’t know one single seller that would turn down a sale over a gold coin.

This is the example I was using back in 2011 during the PatComs and it hasn’t changed one bit since then, even though the ‘price’ of a fine 1911 has gone up and up. I could say that an AR would be priced accordingly, but then, AR’s weren’t invented in 1911 either. But I would bet that what the Gov pays for a MaDuece is very much inline with gold pricing of the same time period.

THAT is what inflation is. Let’s call it by the real name: Debased Coinage. And it’s one of the symptoms of a failing Empire, EVERY SINGLE EXAMPLE IN HISTORY HAS IT.

Guess what Chillun’s? we are there, aren’t we?

I know, so what Dio, things are still moving, right? Well, yes and no. We are still exchanging things for dollars, but there are serious signs that “Full faith and credit” are taking broadsides around the world. People are waking up, and there is only so much gold to go around. Lots of it has been bought up by governments (like they know something huh?) and what is out and about, is actually a lot of paper saying its being held for soandso. One thing I hit on frequently over the years “If you can’t stand on it or over it and defend it with your life, YOU DON’T OWN IT!” and I still say its truth. So, if you have bought gold and received a certificate of exchange instead of at the raw coin/bullion, you are still actively participating in a FIAT money system. I recall there was a big kerfuffle with one of the big banks issuing silver certificates over and above actual inventory not too many years back. (I think it was Wells Fargo, may have been Chase, but don’t recall correctly.). That was just about the time of the 9/11.

And now its getting late in the game and people are asking for tons more FRN’s in exchange for REAL Money, even the Junk Silver coins**; There are only so many that can go around but the flood of paper is growing still. INFLATION. And despite the best lies and obfuscation of THEFED and THEFRAUD, they have ZERO idea how to correct the course they chose back in 2008. (actually, they do know, but the pain and suffering that will happen will be the death bell for THEM, and they are trying like hell to avoid that particular scenario: so, WAR!!! Wars are always good for money issues and to reduce populations down, thus making it easier to hide the scam.)

Go read the links, download them (they’re free, and you NEED these in your library for the future.) learn something or help someone else learn something.

• and Governments hate it because they can’t ‘print’ gold out of thin air like they can the toilet paper we have grown to accept as ‘money’.
