The Art of Ignorance
He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors. — Thomas Jefferson, 1749-1826, American President [1801-1809] While intelligence is necessary for survival, ignorance (the willful kind) is an art of living. Deep within our beliefs, ignorance is rejection of reality that doesn’t…
The Great Prostitute
Last night’s sunset was tempestuous, and so am I. Watching the U.S. dollar rise yet again, while everything else falls faster and faster into oblivion, is unsettling to say the least. My blog is not religious, but I am a spiritual person, meaning I am affected by things that are…
People Enslave Themselves
As mentioned in the previous post, I read Who Really Owns Your Gold by William Garner. I also read Discourse On Voluntary Servitude: Why People Enslave Themselves to Authority by Étienne de La Boétie from the 16th century, edited by William Garner. I had to let these rest, marinate in…
Who owns the USA’s gold?
I read a wild book this weekend…Who Really Owns Your Gold by William Garner (fourth edition). It was published in 2016 and has some intriguing facts about the gold market’s history, and history in general. No doubt, it’s a page-turner and made me think…deeply…about many things. I have no relationship…
Dogs, Guns, and Gold
My next dog will likely be a Dogo Argentino. Half dog and half lion, this breed is extremely loyal and courageous. When it attacks, its aim is to kill and it won’t stop until it does. It feels no pain and never retreats out of fear. It will keep attacking…
Farewell! My Last Post… (republished from Agapy.com)
This poor gold mining investor, AKA Wendy, is going to have to apply for a job at Wendy’s fast-food restaurant, flipping burgers for the green-paper lords that have taken over the world. “Welcome to Wendy’s. My name is Wendy. May I take your order?” How cool! Wendy at Wendy’s! Imagine,…
Is Climate Crisis for real?
To a certain group of people, Climate Crisis is a “fact” supported by The Science. It calls for our benevolent superman government to save us from our filthy sinful dependency on fossil fuels, while liberating us from supervillain Lex Luthor (wicked capitalism and crooked Putin). For this we must express…
Could Dave Ramsey go bankrupt in the future?
When I was a young adult, my parents gave me some recordings of the financial celebrity Dave Ramsey. He taught me a very valuable lesson: get out of debt. So that’s what I did early in life, and it was a good move that enabled me to hang on to…
Understanding Inflation
Remember Fleetwood Mac’s 1980s pop hit? Tell me lies, Tell me sweet little lies (Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies), Oh no, no you can’t disguise. If you still think inflation is transitory, then you might also think it will soon rain enough in the Sahara to generate…
Riddle me this…
Riddle me this. It’s physical. It is not made by the earth, but from stars exploding. It cannot be created or deleted, printed or digitized. It does not rust or tarnish. It cannot be cancelled. It’s reflective and an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. It is precious in all…
