Gold

[stevo1]

LOL.

You're saying that the US military is engaged in operations to prevent the world using other currencies.

I've heard lots of wacko conspiracy theories from the goldbugs but that's one of dumbest.

I always thought one the best though was when DSK was arrested in the USA ostensibly to gag him because he was gonna spill the beans on gold manipulation.
Hahaha
Keep them coming guys, I should write a book about it.

skol isn't the military in effect the enforcement arm of policy of the government/president/beaurocrats/treasury/vested interest/and powers that be tp carry out policy by force if /when required and in the national interest(what s the national interest determined by)?Or are you suggesting they are acting independently?Not really as simple it seems somrtimes.Maybe you could dedicate a chapter(or 2) in your book

Gullible is someone who puts their trust totally in the currency of an insolvent country which can be printed without restraint by corrupt politicians.

I reckon there will be books written about that in a few years.

And dont forget about the movies which will be eventually made about all the Hangings and Revenge Mobs when the truth seekers seek them out and shot gun the heads of their partners or collaborators and the involved or knowing also beaten and locked up with nothing but water and bread crumbs.

Now thats what I call "worth every trillion they embezzled" :P

I've been reading the WSJ the last few days and it appears things aren't quite as bad as you guys paint. Europe's muddling through and while the property picture's still quite bleak, the DJIA is only 8% off its all-time high, NASDAQ at an 11 year high.


The jobs numbers are OK, the US economy is accelerating and no QE3.

DJIA up 20% in the last 4 months, very satisfactory.

I've been reading about the coming world economic implosion and hyperinflation scenario predicted by the 'experts' for years, but it won't happen, there's always prophets of doom without enough to do.

Jon Nadler says gold will be $1000 before it gets to $2000.

Maybe you need to watch RT News for a change.........The US has benefited from free money for far too long by way of petrodollars. In reality they are a bankrupt country, oh sorry, the "land of the free and brave??" give me a break, more like an Orwellian prison farm run by white collar criminals. I heard savvy US citizens are renouncing their citizenship and getting COMMUNIST CHINESE passports...........I guess cronyist communism is better than criminal fascism?

You've been watching too much Gerald Celente who predicted a colossal economic crash in 2010 that obviously never happened.

Criminal fascism. LOL. I spend a lot of time in the USA, just got back, everything looked OK to me, maybe you're on the wrong website, how about Socialist Aoteoroa, that might suit you better.

I'd sooner watch the Superbowl than the lunacy at Waitangi.

As for some US States making gold and silver a currency all that is, is a bit of grandstanding by a bunch of Ron Paul converts, if you want confirmation that gold isn't a currency try buying your next lot of groceries with it.

So you think currency is a store of wealth?

I think you need to look a little deeper into Americas military objectives Skol-They have a habit of drumming up a reason to go into countries that dont play by their rules.
And that includes those that try to bypass their currency. Examples Iraq-Libiya-and now Iran among others.
But this time India,China,and Russia are coming to the party and are happy to bypass $US for oil purchases.
This scares the holy bejeeses out of USA-If they loose their $US defalt status they are in real trouble.
I know..I Know..Ive been reading to much of this or that...but I think maybe you need to dig a little deeper .Perhaps read a bit more.
You seem to have fallen hook,line and sinker for the USA PR machine,but dont worry..your not alone.

I know..I Know..Ive been reading to much of this or that....

Actually Skid. I reckon you are right on the money there bud.

The US media are working hard to drum up fear over Iran of late.

Even if its true. Can anyone honestly say Iran is going to be more dangerous with the bomb than Pakistan, Iran, India, Israel or the US. I think not. Its about being the kid in the neighbourhood with the biggest stick.
If the Republicans get in. It will be the next war they start in the name of democracy and freedom.

Iraq was chemical weapons
Iran is Nuclear weapons,

Both are really about oil.

Gold isn't currency Skol (at least not in New Zealand). If you try and buy groceries in NZ with anything other than NZ dollars you're not going to get far. That doesn't mean that gold isn't money. Two different things.

So you think currency is a store of wealth?

In concert with other assets, yes.

I wonder if the gold gamblers in 1980 thought their gold was a store of wealth as they watched in horror while it plunged 65%?
