I've heard the saying "an ounce of gold would buy you a good suit in the 50's", but I'd never before seen that applied to a Roman toga 2,000 years ago 😂

This article definitely deserves a thread.

I think a better way to word this would be to say that @JoeBiden is intentionally destroying America, that the Afghanistan withdrawal & the Russian sanctions had predictable results, and that the weaponization of the financial system took off after 9/11 Image

This prediction that a debt default is imminent was also echoed by @realDonaldTrump at his recent @CNN Town Hall event.

To me, a lay person, selling 'Treasury bonds' is a euphemism for 'taking out a loan', and, so, the US selling Treasury bonds to the @federalreserve is like me going to my father to ask for more money to spend on my drug addiction. Eventually the family is going to go broke. ImageImage

I feel like a #CBDC is just a sneaky way for them to devalue the currency, sort of like what Lebanon did recently, but without risking a revolt from the people. The ability to track transactions, retire savings, and implement negative interest rates is simply gravy. Image
6/

I did not know this about the debt ceiling, but these toothless policies are my main concern with advocates of sovereign state banks. Yes a sovereign state can print its own money to finance public projects, but only a full gold standard can prevent reckless spending. Image
7/

I'm not a big fan of these predictions (we saw how wrong it was with Japan), but it's interesting how the author suggests that Russia's political system needs to be modernized before it can grow. Image
8/

I was not aware that the US banks were already on the verge of collapse in 2019 when #COVID rolled around. With every passing day I start to feel, more and more, like the lab leak at the Wuhan Institute was intentional.

Also, 'repo' is yet, another, euphemism for a 'loan'. ImageImage
9/

I hate this esoteric crap...

1. Gold is gold
2. Debt is what you owe
3. Derivatives & unfunded liabilities, I think, is what you will owe, like employee salaries Image
10/

It seems like one cannot talk about the US dollar without mentioning that, with the generous guidance of the @federalreserve, the US dollar has lost 99% of its value since 1913 Image

Unlike fiat money which is trivially printed by central bankers, Gold is a rare element created millions of years ago in the supernovas of distant, dying stars. So it retains its purchasing power.

Bonus points for referencing a Roman toga 😂

Again, my question to sovereign state bank supporters, if you remove all barriers to printing and spending money, how will you stop the greed of men in government? Image
13/

I believe the process of holding gold as a reserve asset has already begun as the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has elevated gold to a tier 1 status. The only country stupid enough to sell of their gold assets is actually Canada.

We've seen this already happen as some European countries are buying in Chinese Yuan. Granted the US was on this collision course after they aggressively used the financial system as a weapon, but @JoeBiden was the last nail in the coffin. And a big nail, at that. Image
15/

I think what the author is describing is the mechanism by which countries established inter-currency exchange rates in the past by first fixing their own currencies to gold, and using gold as the universal metric.

Some good news for physical gold holders, the value of gold might skyrocket as it begins to be used as the primary global reserve asset. ImageImageImage

@TheRealTedKuntz, President of @VaccineChoiceCA, drops its case against the government and they explain why in plain English (b/c our courts are broken).

What @TheRealTedKuntz is trying to say here is that the judges refused to listen to anything going against the main stream media narrative (ie. taking judicial notice of the mainstream story). Image

Here, @TheRealTedKuntz is saying that the judges believed whatever the government said, and refused to believe they could be wrong. Image

The @liberal_party is rushing through Bill C-70 which claims to be an espionage bill, but which targets protesting of government.

2/

First off, during the protests in Ottawa, there was an attempt to get the protestors under charges blocking critical infrastructure, like highways, which was one step below terrorism.

After 4 years of covid where appointed judges stripped us of what we thought were God given rights, I don't want to give them any more power.

Let's go over the BC Supreme Court decision concerning the issue of the reasonableness of Bonnie Henry's October 5, 2023 health orders and whether it was reasonable for her to maintain that we are still in a state of emergency for covid 19 as of that date.

As per usual, the title page is completely incomprehensible. Image

Looks like the suit was brought by terminated healthcare workers, or what we generally just refer to as 'terminated nurses'. Image

It might seem comical when the left calls housing racist, but it's important to remember that these ideologues want to do away with private property.

The Office of Federal Housing Advocate (FHA) is talking about nationalization of housing, which is what the @bcndp are pushing for here in BC as well, but they are hiding behind the phrase 'low income housing'. Image
3/

The government destroys the economy, causing the rich to invest in land as a safe hedge, which drives up the cost of housing, which pisses off the poor, so the government regulates the rich until they, too, are poor. It's the socialism spiral. Image

There's a lot of buzz around this @rcmpgrcpolice document that is warning about civil unrest in Canada in the next 5 years, so let's go straight to the source.

It's always a bad sign when an article uses leftist, globalists phraseology in its title Image

These are the same @liberal_party talking points that were used in their community newspapers to downplay the effects of inflation

- Supply chain
- Russian invasion
- Inflation is a 'global phenomenon' Image

I swore I would stop wasting my time analyzing the @liberal_party tyrannical bills, but @viraniarif's Bill C-63 is so disturbing that I couldn't resist.

I'm going to assume that the first two goals of this Act empower the government to go after its political opponents, and the third part turns social media companies into the surveillance arm of the state Image
3/

As a people, we look back and ask what our politicians were thinking when they introduced bad bills, like the 1917 War Income Tax Act. But here we see the growth of government power in real time. We ought to feel shame for what we are unleashing on future generations. Image
