Every day we appear to be moving closer and closer to Armageddon. The stupidity and inconceivable decisions and statements being made cannot be reconciled.
The ratification by Hungary, of Finland and Sweden, to join NATO in the tense Russia Ukraine situation makes no sense other than to rub salt in the open wounds between Russia and Ukraine.
Why aggravate the situation rather than put a peace proposal on the table?
My contention is that if peace were really desired we would have it. The only winners in this type of conflict are the bankers, politicians and military industrial complex. As always, the people are the cannon fodder, either in lives or funds lost.
In addition, hurried moves towards the worldwide CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) system are being implemented.
China is the most advanced in this endeavor, having started the program in 2014. With several cities already using their CBDC and the project is expanding.
Sweden has been testing theirs since 2019, Bahamas has the SAND Dollar, launched in 2020 and is the first to be fully used by the public. The US has been working on theirs since 2014 and are in the test phase.
The EU has been looking at CBDC since 2019 and is still investigating and the list goes on. This is a serious program and it is important to acknowledge its ramifications.
If one wants to maintain a modicum of privacy, assets outside of the system which are tradeable would be a good way to mitigate the invasion of privacy.
I believe that a food reserve, tradeable items such as alcohol, ammunition, gold, silver, Goldbacks etc will be useful and depending on one’s circumstances, access to, or home grown vegetables and livestock, will be a huge advantage.
Gold and silver are in transition, and I am seeing signs of life in both. I realize that gold is money and silver is a commodity or money, and that they both behave very differently.
We currently see our clients leaning towards silver for the potential reversion to the mean, as it trades now around 88 ounces of silver to one of gold.
The miners are getting silver out of the ground at between seven and eight ounces per ounce of gold.
How long before that shows up in real traded prices?
Gold retains its concentration of wealth, with one tube of twenty gold coins holding around $40,000.00 which is easily carried in your pocket.
