Re: U.S. And Israel bomb Iran?

I find it sickly, ironically humorous that the Iranian traffic/spy camera network was hijacked by the Israelis, and they used it to find and kill the Ayatollah.

Yes, and outside of the dollar system, too.

Re: Gold Top

A year ago I read the case for Trump doing some kind of monetary reset involving a monetary use for gold. Weaker dollar, tariffs, etc. I think it said that gold would have to be $10,000 for it all to make sense. So that is what I voted. :)

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

I think you’re right DS. He wants to stop the expense. And then there is the Biden thing, and the Ukrainian role in the impeachment thing. He probably can’t wait to be rid of supporting their war. And he likes to brag about how many wars he has ended.

At least a couple of those are true.

A quick peek at a news story suggests that people had bought silver ETF(s) on margin, and the drop triggered margin calls. Which of course drive more selling.

So much of the articles and videos today are just clickbait.

If gold was dropping or dormant these same people would write “gold is dead”. It’s so hard to not get drawn into their game.
