I have long watched gold. I have used it as a real barometer of financial stability of the world and sort of crystal ball to broadcast future world events. What I see now is not making much sense to me. I expected gold to drop as a more business-friendly administration took office in the US, one that is dedicated to energy independence and righting America's economy and finances. So, what I am seeing is not making sense to me - meaning - the continued rise of gold. Recently, I discovered that numerous nations, not just banks and other financial institutions, but nations have been buying more and more gold. China recently bought a huge amount. Gold is currently over $3300 and I'm pretty sure it is not going to stop there. Gold is a horrible investment...unless it isn't. Call it my Spidey sense or my 'doom and gloom' pessimistic personality but something is not right, something we're missing and frankly, I think it has to do with Iran and China. I don't want to sound like a nutcase, but I'm convinced that something is not right and what we are seeing are nations and financial institutions positioning themselves, slowly but surely, for a major upheaval, probably a war. Iran cannot be allowed a nuclear weapon and China's economy is much more fragile than the West has been led to believe (by the Chinese) and the trade war with the USA could cause it to spiral down further, perhaps to the tipping point which would have catastrophic effects throughout the world. Maybe cause the Communists to do something stupid to hold power. Taiwan? They might even support Iran, outright challenging the US. Nevertheless, Taiwan is going to happen, sooner or later...or is it? What will Russia do? They win from either outcome, but will they sit on the sidelines? Maybe the world is not as safe and secure as we think, and gold's rise reflects that? What do you think?
Something wicked This Way Comes! Your spidy senses are right on in point, been watching closely several sources, they all point to "Something" happening this summer, nobody is saying what that something is going to be, but I they are all saying it's bad, bad for the U.S. bad for the world! Intel points to just about one thousand terrorists in this country, were talking outright hard core believers, and they might be simply planning and waiting for the go, Homsa bin ladin, son of Osama is running the show now, and is much more hard core then his father was, not one to sit and wait for years to put something together, he acts in the NOW, and he is an expert planner. There are also thousands of sleepers here, ready to follow whatever "Plan" is put in the table, and there have always been rumors of small dirty bombs or suitcase nukes to be set off in the major cities! They want their Caliphate and their revenge, and they want to kill every Christian they can. China is at the tipping point, the house of cards is crumbling much faster now, Xi is fast loosing his grip on government, and his rivals are growing their power. They WANT to take over management there, and they want to destroy Americans, just not America it's self, they want the land and resources, and they want us out of the global power business, they believe themselves to be the master race, superior to all, and will not just stop with America. Russia doesn't want a war, they cannot win, and would suffer mightally, in this Russia is an ally, or should be treated as such, Russia wants to join the West, wants to trade and move on from communism, join the world as an equal partner, and they hate China big-time. Europe has failed, Germany is nearly lost, and the rest of Europe is following closely in lockstep, they will hit the bottom within a year unless they correct, and that's simply not going to happen. Europe wants to continue Ukraine war with Russia, they want to defeat Putin, and bring Ukraine in with the West, that's never going to work, never going to happen, and would push Putin into doing something nobody wants, striking Europe hard. France being the only Nuke Power who's control is in question would be a bad BAD thing to let loose, with England a close second, but with only slightly better control. Italy sees the big picture, at least bigger then the rest of Europe, and it trying to dig it's self out of Europes mess, and they do have the advantages of not having Muslims in large numbers, nor do they have other groups causing issues like Spain seems to always have, and Spain it's self is a absolute train wreck, so don't expect to see anything worthwhile coming from them. So, where do we end up? Everybody is buying Gold to get away from the Dollar, they know that a war will drive the value way down, and they need to shore up trade values, they also know the tariffs are working, and they are shoring up against rising tariffs, especially knowing war is coming. Your flashing neon sign will be stock shorts, and big tech stock dumps and the global powers shift their base onshore, backed by Gold. I would be selling off all the gold you have, holding back just enough for short term bargaining, like a years worth, after than, it's just a rock in your pocket that will get harder and harder to trade with.
SHTF I hope bullets will be a tradable commodity got plenty of those in several calibers I reloaded, gold looks nice and shinny but you can't eat it.
get out - don't even pay attention to the what the rogue states are doing >>> the US is more than stabalizing - bringing it to the World - the world's hot spots will be nothing but embers by this summer - China is not going to have a choice but to cool its world conquering drum beat .... both gold & silver will be gradually loosing ground - buy into the stocks for the company's making the right moves right now - can't go wrong with anything US domestic energy production - transportation of all kinds should be busting out - metals industry .....
@Ura-Ki Yeah, the terrorists that are here are a no-brainer. I imagine we will catch some of them but there are way too many, so God help us.... I wonder what we will do to the 46th President, Joey Biden when that happens...Wanna bet he will leave the country and never return? The name Biden will be more despised than Benedict Arnold. My guess is the obvious one, they (the terrorists) will initiate if Iran is attacked by Israel/US or they finally get a nuke and decide to use on Israel while we are chasing their operatives in the US. Yes, the son is far worse than the father, far smarter too. I also agree about old Xi in China which I admit has me worried. If he can't hold on, I think he might make his play for Taiwan as he really won't have much to lose at that point and it could turn things around for him, if he wins...and I think it is more than possible if played correctly. The key is keeping America out of it...but with Trump in office, hard to do. I can't see Europe carrying the Ukraine war for very long on their own. I mean, they are boosting their militaries big time now, but it will take a few years to see the effects of that. They cannot believe they can win that war now so what's their plan? Wait until every drop of Ukraine blood has been shed? Even if Putin was to drop dead tomorrow, there is simply too much Russia blood split to walk away from it now so the Russians are staying, and Europe doesn't have the will or the military to throw them out so...let the Ukrainians continue to die. That's the plan? I also see the writing on the wall that it might be time to spilt from NATO. Let's face it, we don't have much in common with those folks anymore. Sad but true. Freedom of speech is the latest right to be kicked to the curb over there. No, but gold it does hold its value. It's more like an insurance policy to protect your savings, your wealth, so you can rebuild. I don't have to get out because I am not in. I don't hold gold, and I got out of the stock market years ago. The market is so overvalued that it's insane to me. The USA is indeed stabilizing; however, this takes time. You don't build factories and move production and markets overnight. I admit, China has me worried as I think the tariffs will hurt them at a time they can least afford it which I am sure Trump knew - yet - their pride will not let them backdown, but we'll see. I don't think they are anywhere near being ready to pull the trigger on Taiwan or they would have done it while Biden was in. I believe Trump will stand with Taiwan and the Chinese must know this so it would have to get really bad before that happens now, but Xi wouldn't be the first to do a last ditch stand on the blood of his people, using nationalism to stay in power. Anyway, I am not so sure on gold losing ground. Hopefully, we can have this discussion again at the end of summer and see where gold stands. I hope you are right.
I think Xi is gonna get taken down, or taken OUT before July, there are rumblings that he won't last through summer, and any move on Taiwan would be ill advised, it's too late for him now, during the Pedo's reign would have been the time. As it stands, China cannot fight a war, even a short range one, and if they did move on taiwan, they would not be able to expend much to retain it, not with Japan and NATO in the region on their door steps. At this stage, and with Xi in such a bad spot, I think the China threat diminishes for a few more years, though their buildup continues, I think we might get a bit of a breather from them! Iran, I suspect they have the bomb, maybe not yet ready to test it, but i believe they have achieved a working bomb, likely a few, but also don't have the means of delivering very far. As to Israel, I no longer trust them, in fact, I trust them about as much as Turkey as in NOT AT ALL, they are on their own, and ol Benjamin is on the ropes over there, and the sooner he is gone, the better says me! Iran as a threat to the U.S. remains the proxy they are playing, using the Hamas and Hothie against western powers as useful idiots until Osama reached his trigger point, then it's ON! IF iran attacks Israel, it would be very wise for the U.S to stay out of it, only to be close enough to contain things to that region and not let is spill out, would also be a great time to go after the taliban and other terror groups and flatten them permanently, at the same time, putting Bin Laden's head on a pike for the whole world to see, as a reminder that we christians do not forgive or forget, and that some things are unforgivable, like declaring death to all white people, we will convert you by the word or by the sword! Europe actually believes a nuke exchange with Russia is survivable, they believe they can withstand up to a 35% loss with Russia, and still survive it, and what's worse, they accept these odds as acceptable, and even give Putin a 50/50 chance he backs off on aggression knowing what a move on his part would mean for the world, Europe, especially Starmer and Marcon are playing with fire big time, and it's US that will get burned if that is allowed to happen! Worse is the U.N. moves toward Joining Ukraine against Putin, in that I hope they do and I hope Putin burns them all to hell, sadly, it's Ukraine that suffers the most in that, but I think there are players hell bent on seeing Zalinski un-alived sooner then later, which MAY bring about a deal, we will see sone enough me thinks!
We are in the middle of a great reset that involves the depopulation of the planet. Wars and attacks on food production and distribution, Life insurance claims have skyrocketed after COVID medicine was almost forced on most of the planet. Plan accordingly. Food will be more important than shiny rocks. Most people don't have a clue, it won't be good.
you wait until the factory is built you might as well forget getting involved >>> the stock for the companies coming into the WH and getting Trump involved with their Trillion $$$ US investing - already busting out wayyyyyyyyyy before they hit the WH .... the auto companies that have no US options and are floundering because they lost their biggest market outside their own country >>> buy now - because they'll be forced to merger or sell out completely - Ford might not be able to keep up with the manufacturing demand ..... energy - too late to salvage anything from the dumbazz Green New Deal disaster - buy anything even slightly related to domestic energy production >>> its already being rigged that a Biden can never shut off the oil fields or pipelines ever again - the stupid EPA rules that killed coal and electric plants wasn't enough - EPA is gone - going to be a new agency of energy ......
Well, I agree with most of the first three paragraphs, but you floored me on the fourth. "Europe actually believes a nuke exchange with Russia is survivable..." Where in the hell did that come from? I mean, what could possibly lead you to believe this? Personally, I do not believe Putin would use even tactical nuclear weapons unless Russia itself is attacked. Now, he has made a specific point of saying those new annexed regions of Ukraine are now part of Mother Russia so - yes - it includes them but that probably only stands if Putin is alive. Anyway, I'm listening...you floored me on that one, Ura-ki. LOL! I understand your points and they are all financially sound. What I am saying is that profitability is going to take a while for these companies, and these are major investments that do drag down the bottom line - so - initial stock investment will be on the speculative side. We're also speculating that the Trump administration can actually rid us of some of these agencies but so far...well, it certainly isn't as easy or as clear cut as we thought it would be, but we'll see.
Big Red or How I learned to love the surprises in life | Survivalist Forum I'm writing a shorty story on this very thing. Will require the reader to have the ability to see the whole cloth of the story. Fun project.
