Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years approach when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”; before the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are darkened, and clouds return after the rain; on the day that the watchmen of the house tremble"....

Ecclesiastes.
But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.
For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it, either.
If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.
But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge people into ruin and destruction.
For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
11 But flee from these things..., 1Timothy 6.
The conclusion, when everything has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. 14 For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil. Ecclesiastes 6-11
Normally the stock markets ebbs and flows with the economy. The current stock market is totally disconnected with the actual economy. 80% of all trades are now done by AI computers that have algorithms that are designed to push the market up to give all these pension funds cash for short term quick prophets. Normally money does go to the markets for a time to cool down inflation in the money supply and then after it cools it goes back to the bond market. But as we can see, that is not what is happening now. We are just printing money and we have runaway inflation and at the same time we are raising interest rates to prop the dollar up the stock markets are rising as well.
So we are not in Kansas anymore Dorthy. Keeping interest rates high is solely to attract buyers for dollars. This is the life support for the dollar until they decide to pull the plug and that may not be far off. The banks and corp. are borrowing at the FEDs daily over the counter desk for cash so the Corp can buy their own stocks, thus the AI computers see this and flood money to that stock to make a quick buck. Then they dump the stocks at a profit and pay off the short term loan and make money for investors and the company is floundering. And the banks are using this cash to cover their shorts and buy gold at record levels in preparation for the new gold back currency that will soon come to replace the current worthless fiat dollar.
Daniel thank you for all of your knowledge and wisdom. I do appreciate you comments. Warmest regards Daniel, in the Name above all names, Jesus (Yeshua), the Christ of the Living God and soon coming King of kings.
Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, the stock market derives it's value from the bond market. The 10 year yield is flashing red. The new name of the game in the coming months will be, crash the stock market to save the bond market. That is the new plan.
Yes, I am growing more and more concerned about the obvious distress in the Bond Market as typified in the Ten Year Note.
The three Pillars of the Finacial System are the Bond Markets, the Oil Markets AND curiously, the Precious Metal Markets.
The Bond Markets move more cash than the entire Stock Market does by orders of magnitude....only exceeded by the FOREX Market. The Oil Market has the potential to inflict so much Financial Agony on the developed World as to be incalculable in it's effects: Those of you alive during the Arab Oil Embargo in the 70's are acutely aware of both the 'before' and 'after' attendent on THAT occurance.
The PM Market - though seemingly disconnected from the Financial System and hideously manipulated by COMEX and the LBMA for half a century - are yet still tied (Subrosa) into the financial systems broadly in some very non-obvious ways...which I won't expound on here for brevity's sake.
Instead, both OIL and PM are 'Canary's in the Coal Mine' and should either - or more likely BOTH - abruptly revalue to much higher levels then the entire Western Financial System will summarily collapse under the weight of hundreds of trillions in unfunded liabilities.
If we see Gold striking back into the $2400-2600/Ounce zone then rather quickly the DEMAND for Gold OR Silver WILL simply explode as everyone realizes that 'the Jig is UP', further stoking additional demand, further driving the price upward in a viscious and possibly endless 'Death Spiral'. Until you see PM rising into the Terra Incognita regime I submit that the End is not *quite* at hand.
Oil should be interpreted in exactly the same manner. IF Oil explodes into $120/barrel territory - or higher yet - then it's 'Game, Set and Match' for the West broadly, inasmuch as our hideously weakened economy could no more withstand the attendent impact than it could the impact of a two mile wide asteroid striking at 50,000 mph in say, Kansas.
The Fiscal profligacy of the Federal Edifice these past 100 years have taken us from being singularly the Greatest Nation on Earth straight into the Poor House...for which we have the Federal Reserve to thank as being the supplier of unlimited monetary Crack to the Political side of the equation.
I am in the camp which believes that the collapse of the west and it's fiat money is imperative to give the third world it's chance to finally flourish. What they do with that chance, I do not know. But, what has finally registered, after the Gulf war, lybia, Syria, Ukraine, etc. is that WE have been the terrorists all along. And fiat money is what enabled it.
After 22 years in the US Army I can assure you in no uncertain terms that indeed, WE ARE the Terrorist.
We could have just left the Middle East ALONE and none of the polarization that has come to define the MENA broadly would ever have occured.
That's a large part of why I left when I did, that and the absolute loss of moral fiber in the Officer Corps. WHY we cannot just leave those people alone remains a true mystery to me.

For the Biblically literate, we, (humanity), were forewarned in Biblical prophecy these current events would come to pass centuries before we began seeing them on a daily basis. For those who still believe "we can fix this" through politics, no, we can't; because it's not a temporal battle. It's an on-going spiritual war that began long before any of us existed, coming to its climax in our time - right here on planet earth. We can only choose a "side" to support and work with in that battle. But there is no "fence sitting" now or “do-overs” later. We must each actively choose the side of light and good, of YHVH God; or we default to the other side of darkness and evil and Satan. Therefore, if you haven't actively chosen Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God...then you are in default. For each of us, today, there are no other options; I have made my choice and His name is Jesus (Yeshua); I pray each of you who read this comment will make the correct choice. Eternity is a very long time to regret a wrong choice.”
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with that person, and they with me. To the one who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with Me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” [Revelation 3: 20-21]
FYI: There are two (2) sins Jesus Christ (Yeshua Messiah) will not forgive: (1) Denial (blasphemy) against the Holy Spirit. [Matthew 12:31] and; (2) Receiving the MARK OF THE BEAST. [Revelation 14:9]

Half or more of America’s citizenry have lost their minds and are six steps or more removed from reality, either due to the mind-numbing communist/socialist indoctrination they have absorbed from their “education” in the public school system, something genetic or a trauma from their life, some new maniacal drug that has them hooked and out of their minds, or a combination of all three:
Per your provision of the link above I did - in fact - stop over there to look through the figures provided. I'm very much afraid that those figures are worse even than I would have anticipated.
All things Fiat-based are rapidly heading straight to thier real-world value...that being Zero naturally. Heck $100 bills do NOT even qualify as decent toilet paper, now do they?
1000 years ago your 'Worth' was a measure of what you HAD and could DEFEND as well. I'm rather certain that THAT is exactly what we'll all be returning to in the not too distant future.
For a few hundred years we have lived in an age whuch we can call the 'Monetary World' and every grifter who ever drew breath was drawn to that like flies are to Shit. Soon enough we will return to the previous age of 'Things'; real things which we'll have to not only maintain but DEFEND as well.
Anne Barnhardt used to run an independent Brokerage service affiliated with LTCM (Jon Corzine) and just a few weeks before that inploded she PULLED all of her customers funds and refunded every thin dime BACK to them. Astounding...a real-life HONEST person...who'd a thunk it??!!
Thereafter she stated that "You don't own ANYTHING unless you can stand on it with one foot while holding an AR Black Rifle in your hands."
Thank you JOG. I posit the Leviathan will soon steal the people's gold (FDR) to "collateralize" the new CBDC. Accordingly I have a question: If you won the lottery tomorrow, where would you park the cash?
Before beginning here please acceot my apology: I am only NOW 'learning' how SubStack actually works. As an example of that, I JUST fugured out what 'Contunue Thread' actually DOES...
You pose and 'interesting' question Carl...
Allow me to answer that in the following manner.
For several hundred years mankind has lived in an age most aptly termed "The Age of Money'. However, BEFORE THAT we lived solely in an "Age of THINGS".
In that latter category what you physically HAD in your possession defined how 'wealthy' you were. Even in more modern eras African Chieftans were adjudged wealthy according to how many head of cattle, goats, sheep and etc they possessed.
Now, WHAT happens comes the day that the VALUE of Money goes to Zero...the natural endpoint of all Fiat currencies?
The sole paradigm that can be used thereafter is a return to the "Things based paradigm" whuch mankind utilized for millenia. Of course, the central problem there lies in SECURING what you have...so that it remains YOURS, yes? Indeed...and it is there that one sees the genesis of the Money-based system.
It is a significant outlay of time and effort to defend what you have against all takers. Per se here, I am not addressing 'Wealth', instead I am addressing SURVIVAL.
IF you have ALL that you need in order to survive in the locale you occupy then you are 'well off', naturally. However, if instead you materially LACK critical components central to your ongoing survival - moreso, your quality of Life, since mere survival is a rough row to hoe - then you will not survive and certainly not 'Thrive'
IF a significant windfall landed in my lap then rest assured I would forego Gold, Silver, BitCoin and virtually every other relic of the Age of Money and instead begin stocking FOOD, Eqiuptment, spare parts, OIL FILTERS AND LUBRICANTS, toolage and etc.
I already possess a truly formidable Arsenal owing to my Army background (as well as being a competing F Class shooter; F Class is shooting at ranges exceeding 2000 meters, FWIW), am an AVID Reloader (I don't TRUST Factory loaded ammo to even hit paper at the ranges I shoot at!).
I have already stocked 2000 gallons of Deisel fuel and will continue to stock MOAR as finances permit (I own both a 2016 Chevy High Country Duramaxx powered HD 3500 AND also an Arctic Cat Super Duty DEISEL ATV, equipped with a full track kit; I can with that latter article go where 'Snowmobiles FEAR to tread!'
It is a heck of a mental 'shifting of the gears' in order to realign one's mind to where it NEEDS to go, but I'm sure that you can catch my general drift from what's described above.
One final thought occurs to me here - one whose importance cannot possibly be overstated - it is your fellow MEN who will abruptly turn into Pirhana-grade Cannibals when the SHTF. If SURVIVING is high on your list of things you intend, then do like the Sheepherder and 'Get the FLOCK out of Civilization...as FAR as you possibly CAN' ere it all goes to Hell in a handbasket.
You might outthink 20 HUNGRY T Rex, but you WON'T succeed in outthinking 20 HUNGRY Humans...no way, no HOW.
A pleasure dialoguing with you Brother, I certainly look forward to continuing this conversation! Oh, one other 'thing'...being WAY OUT typically means having unreliable electrical service OR none at all. Have you given any thought to 'how' you might address that? If you haven't then just ask; I have EXTENSIVE experience from my time 'off grid' in McCarthy, AK in creating my own 'mini-grid' which I'd be only to happy to share freely with others.
The fear in the air is palpable! In me too. We are slow motion moving into catastrophic times. Can I keep my home? Can I afford all the new taxes in Canada. Can I eat? Is our government listening to me? What harms are coming?
Yesterday was actually predicted last week. I believe that it's just the beginning. Meanwhile, my silver is up 2.7% in the last month. Once it gets to $29 to $30, it will begin to increase in value rapidly.
"Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.
Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming."
"We are stealing from future generations "
What future ? What future generations?
Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years approach when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”; before the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are darkened, and clouds return after the rain; on the day that the watchmen of the house tremble"....
