Quote:August 15, 2025 / Joseph P. Farrell

This story was shared by S.D., with our gratitude, because when I read it, I knew we're looking possibly at one of the most significant financial moves in recent memory: Switzerland is abandoning the London Bullion Market Association, which is basically much of the world's over-the-counter bullion trading, and moving much of its gold smelting capacity to the USA:

SWISS RELOCATION SIGNALS LBMA ABANDONMENT

You'll note that this short article occurs in a context of other articles about the de-industrialization of Western Europe, the re-industrialization of North America, talk about the Federal Reserve revaluating gold reserves, Trump's tariffs, not to mention Western Europe's crazy and lunatic policies:

Quote:Degrowth ideology, WEF agendas, immigration strains, and energy policy dysfunction are accelerating Europe’s deindustrialization. Switzerland’s willingness to relocate confirms this shift. It is a clear signal of both U.S. gravitational pull and EU fragility.

“The next bright-white flight… will be out of Europe and into the U.S.”


This observation maps business relocation, elite and capital migration. When capital leaves, political influence and strategic pricing power follow. For gold, this means potential pricing mechanisms move back to the U.S., ending centuries of Western European dominance.

Note that one predicted effect will be the flight of "bright white Europeans" from the continent to America, a kind of Europe-wide version of the "brain drain" experienced by Great Britain during the 1970s, as professional and academic Britons fled to more welcoming business and academic environments in North America and Australia.


Beyond this, there is another crucial bombshell in the article about the effects that the Swiss move may have, and ponder this one long and hard for its long-term implications for US fiscal and monetary policy:

Quote:Refining dictates certification. Certification dictates deliverability. Deliverability affects futures convergence and arbitrage. This domino structure cannot be underestimated in terms of pricing influence. It is a nod to gold’s growing importance to US policy.

And at the end of the next article we find this:

Quote:This professional, slightly dismissive tone reveals more than it conceals. Revaluing gold introduces market discipline, something incompatible with unrestrained fiat issuance. It also decentralizes control from the Fed to the Treasury.
...

However, once revaluation is enacted, the asset becomes politically toxic for Gov’t to sell to retire the actual debt. The government would likely hedge, but physical sales would become controversial. This kind of cements the asset’s status as a balance sheet anchor rather than a liquidity tool.

The Fed recognizes that revaluation represents a sort of paradigm shift in the monetary regime. The U.S. Treasury, not the Fed, would wield increasing power. That shift cannot occur without institutional friction.

In other words, you're looking at very long term policy decisions - decisions that will long outlast Mr. Trump's or even his successor's administrations. But there's something else: if all this should prove to be true, then that "revaluation" that is strongly being hinted will occur, with, or without, the Federal Reserve's acquiescence or approval. That in turn means something else: the Fed's own "currency" will also be "revalued" eventually, and whether the Fed wants it to be or not, and as a result of that, the post-Civil War choices will again become front and center topics: convertibility, re-monetization of gold, re-monetization of silver, and an overall deflationary trend might again be the topics consuming policy discussions for much of the century.

If Switzerland's moves eventually transpire, those discussions in one form or another are all but an inevitability.  As the US Treasury resumes a more important role vis-a-vis the Fed, its own role in currency production will again assume significance (when, for example, was the last time you actually spent a United States Note in cash transactions? My bet is, most of you haven't even seen a United States Note, much less spend one; they're the paper currency with a red Treasury seal on the front, not a green one. And the reason you haven't seen one is that the Fed, when it came across them in its day-today dealings, deliberately withdrew and destroyed them. And by the way, John Kennedy was the last president under which they were issued and circulated...)

I raise the potentiality of these inevitabilities because they will, in turn, be used as "crises of opportunity" to stampede everyone into a false, fraudulent, and phony form of "gold" (and possibly even silver) monetization: the use of electronic transfer and convertibility systems.

Don't fall for it: demand the continuation of paper notes to preserve transactional privacy and security, and the actual ability to actually use physical gold and silver in any and all transactions.

Otherwise, it's the same old game, on steroids: we'll give you nothing, and you give us your hard assets. To put it somewhat differently, the Bretton Woods system and its post-Nixon aftermath are indeed over, but... "they" want to keep that system going for the bulk of the public, while they operate in a system of hard assets behind a one-way mirror, exchanging real and really convertible certificates of deposit.  There's a reason, folks, that those old one hundred thousand dollar bill were gold certificates, and only circulated among Federal Reserve Banks, while the same acts and executive orders that created it, made the private ownership of gold bullion or specie illegal. (Or to put it differently, the $100,000 gold certificate is itself proof of the existence of a secret system of finance, of a two-tiered system, one private, the other public.)

Which brings us to a final point: you know they're up to something, because amid all this talk of revaluation and the Swiss moving their smelting operations to the USA, no one seems to be talking about the other crucial component: how much gold does the United States actually have? What is its assay purity?

And to answer those questions - and to make any such system work -  one has to have trust, and trust can only be had by answering those questions. And those questions, in turn, cannot be answered without ... an open and transparent audit of those gold reserves. In short, even that secret two-tiered system is no longer sustainable. Why? Because nations are demanding repatriation of their gold? Why are they demanding it? Because they suspect the amounts and assay purity are being obfuscated. [China!]

It's about to get very interesting, and for a very long time. Take a look at that one hundred thousand dollar bill, and ponder its implications carefully. Note: no greenbacks for us bankers here (again, we bankers get the hard assets, you people get monetized debt and green pieces of paper). Indeed, it's not a greenback at all:



See you on the flip side...

Quote:And why is everyone talking about his law?

Well, it was a huge week, in which vast amounts of noise was made, with little or nothing achieved. It wasn’t a complete loss. Our abs got a thorough workout from laughing.

Among other things, Trump declared martial law in Washington DC. According to Lincoln’s General Order 100 (a.k.a. the Lieber Code), when civilian institutions of governance cease to function, military intervention is authorized. Few people would argue—with a straight face—that DC’s civil structure was still functioning.

Of course, most of the folks howling bloody murder (see what I did there?) think that Washington DC is like any other part of the country. Washing and the various possessions and territories (Virgin Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, etc.) are territories under federal jurisdiction and supposedly run by CONgress.

Like all its other important functions, CONgress long ago allowed civilians to pretend to administer their own affairs. However, court decisions over the last 200 years have held that DC is a federal district and not a state, under the plenary jurisdiction of CONgress. Trump, as the executor of the laws passed by CONgress, decided to actually do the job that his office is supposed to do in Washington.

Despite Trump’s threats, he can’t do the same thing in other cities without being invited by the governors or mayors of those cities. The only way he could activate General Order 100 in a state, is if the elected offices were vacant and the courts had ceased to function.

As for the US being a fascist nation, well of course it is. It has been since at least the 1870s. The US has essentially been run by corporations for well over a century, with the take-over finalized by the Citizen United v. FEC (2010) Supreme Court ruling. If you don’t believe me, look at any photo of the House of Representatives dais, and note the giant symbols on either side of the Speaker.

Trump is not the first, just the latest.

Of course, Martial Law was just a distraction from the “sudden” Putin-Trump summit in Alaska (Seward’s Folly)—formerly Russian territory sold by Alexander II to Andrew Johnson for a little over $7 million.

This exercise was a bit like a giant therapy session, with both sides hearing and understanding each other, but not much else getting done for all the hype. The media, naturally, were silenced so they wouldn’t disrupt the warm fuzzies.

Even though Trump makes scenes over the way other people dress around him, I noted that on the red carpet, his coat was unbuttoned and his belly festooned. Putin was the only participant with a fashion sense.

It was most gratifying to see and hear the EU Brat Pack huffing and puffing the whole week. Listening to Van der Loon, Macaroon and Stormer shrieking and wailing was far more entertaining than any of the other characters or events. Clearly, Europe doesn’t want the gravy train to stop. Seems everyone down the line has been getting full scoops of US taxpayer dollars via the Great Laundry Machine, known as the Ukraine.

It was notable that the infamous Polish mass murderer Binyamin Mileikowsky, currently using the nom du guerre Bibi Nuttyahoo, was uncharacteristically quiet this past week. One assumes he was told to take a break from razing Gaza so that global attention could be trained on Trump’s great peace initiative (which apparently doesn’t include Gaza).

In the meantime, Indonesia’s ruling junta had the fear of Allah put into it by the mere sight of an anime-inspired banner from the series One Piece. Millions of folks across the country have taken to trolling offishuldum with the show’s Jolly Roger for the sinking economy, rising taxes and utterly uninspired regulatory framework killing the business environment. It’s rather inspired and chuckle-worthy to see authoritarians in a blind panic over an emblem from a cartoon that has been running for 26 years.



And in a final note of hilarity, much like the proverbial cherry sitting atop the banana split of history, the Dullard Clan (commonly known as the Bush crime family) seems to have gotten tired of cowering on their 100,000-acre estate in Paraguay, and are now looking to retake the US before Tulsi Gabbard starts looking into 9/11 and the Gulf War sequel.


All in all, it’s been a fun week, with thrills and chills and no a few guffaws. As we hoist the One Piece Jolly Roger, prepare popcorn to see Elensky (he banned the letter Z) in a business suit, and stand by to see if Trump can beat Lady Lindsey and the Senate to a peace deal before the next session begins, we note the old adage that laughter is the best medicine, and tis past week has left us feeling hale and hearty.

Next up, Jina and Taiwan.

For our celluloid enjoyment, only one of the best comedies of all time will do, which is why your cultural assignment today is Some Like It Hot (1959), with Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe, and directed by the master Billy Wilder. Either that, or binge-watch the original Police Squad! (1982) TeeVee show.

Jurij Kofner is an economist and an economic policy advisor to AfD. Kofner discusses the de-industrialisation and economic decline in Germany, and the wider socio-economic and political challenges that continue to threaten the relevance of Europe.




F2d5thCav - if you see this post and have the time to listen (1 hr) let me know your take on Kofner, specifically concerning his economic & militarizing views on Germany. Most of his analysis resonated with me. Thanks.

Rhode Island Assistant AG Devon flanagan has been arrested and since been charged with willful trespass after what appears to have been a bit of a night on the town , the video shows police ask flanagan and her friend , Veronica Hannan , to move on from what seems to be a venue but flanagan and her friend appear to believe the law doesn't apply to them... until it's made clear it does , Hannan has been charged with willful trespass, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. How embarrassing.

When the police officer asks the man who was with them if he could "take your children out of here" I laughed out loud , the performance and tantrum put in by Veronica Hannanwas almost as funny.

5 minutes of pure Gold.

Quote:Bodycam video shows the night a Rhode Island Attorney General was arrested for alleged trespassing. Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan was charged with willful trespass and given a district court summons to appear in court, police said. Veronica Hannan was charged with willful trespass, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

We don't have much in the way of restaurants in our small town to the north, but we do have one little Asian restaurant place.  Overall, their food is 'pretty good' (but not all of it).  However, they do have a couple things which are the Owner's specialty items.  Hot & Sour Soup is one of these (one of about two).

Now, I love Hot & Sour soup anyway, but this soup is just over the top!!  Probably the best Hot & Sour Soup I've ever had, hand's down!  It is excellent!  I'm a big hot foot lover, and most their hot (spice wise) dishes are just "Meh!" in my opinion, but their Hot & Sour Soup is a real killer!!  The other dish I like of theirs isn't hot at all, and that's their Chicken Chow Mein (primarily because it's really saucy, and I can't stand dry food!).  It's the sauciest dish they have, so I usually order that.

Lately, I don't eat much at all.  Maybe a few bites of something once a day, but often times I will order some of this Chinese food for me and the wife (she loves the stuff).  I'll usually order the Chicken Chow Mein and the Hot & Sour Soup (like tonight).  I wind up eating about a half a bowl of that, and I'm done.  Over the past 3 months I've dropped over 30 lbs., and I'm going for an additional 40 lbs.  I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes, so my doc put me on this Ozempic stuff.  Man, lemme tell ya', this stuff cuts your appetite like nobody's business.  I was 290, and now I'm down to below 260, and I'd like to get to 220.  I feel like I can get there, no problem.

Anyway, the Hot & Sour Soup does nothing but help me on this weight journey.  It has tofu, mushrooms, fungus (of some sort), green onions, this really thin sliced pork which is almost imperceptible, bamboo shoots and all this other stuff, in this fabulous broth which is simmered for hours.  It is DE-LISH-OUS!!  I'm tellin' ya, if you've never tried this stuff, it's AWESOME!

I just had to share this.  This is about the 3rd time I've ordered this full meal (which will get eaten, but not tonight), only to sit down and just feast on this soup.  The stuff is just wicked good!  If you've never tried it, I highly recommend it.  If you've tried it and it wasn't very good, I recommend trying it somewhere else (you got some bad stuff).

Just wanted to share.

Thanks!  And...Enjoy!

As you may know , Lyme disease is very common now days , estimates talk approximately 476,000 people  diagnosed in the United States each year .


Another issue, also quite common is , people struggle getting better when have lyme . Well it turns out that the lyme bacteria can change the vitamin d receptor down in cells x50 to x80  lower . 

What happens when body have vitamin d deficiency ? the immune systems downgrades rapidly , in to point where it may not anymore fight lyme or other bugs .

Vitamin D deficiency is quite common if i understand , even in sunny places . 





Lyme Disease and The Effects of Vitamin D


How good nutrition can help you recover from Lyme disease

The ideals of the Constitution and our political system in the U.S.A. have been usurped. It is painfully apparent that our system, created for and by Western Europeans, cannot function in a multicultural society. This is not a racist statement, just admitting that this great political experiment has obviously failed.

It is far too corrupt and bloated to save the current system, and if we want the original system as intended, we need to start over and do it in a way that will survive corruption. Level what we have and rebuild, it is the only way left. It doesn't have to be entirely populated by the white race, just functional in the way it was intended to function. 


I refuse to cooperate in a criminal system that lies, cheats, steals, and represses our personal freedoms. I encourage a rebellious nature by living the way the Founding Fathers intended.

If you can justify your actions and way of life based on the founding documents and Western values, then you can ignore the PTB and the fantasies they feed you to try to keep you passive and under their control. Even with corruption ruling form the darkest recesses of Hell, I'd at least have respect for their evil if they laid it all out in the open. I might even join the legions of demons and help with their evil plans if they were honest about what was really going on. If we can't beat them, then at least we should have an opportunity to understand and honestly make an informed choice.

Bottom line is, nothing can move forward without knowing what in the Hell is actually going on with our country. If criminal behavior, corruption and bribes are what we actually are working with, then in order to get things done, we have to operate in the same manner. No one can work with a system that no longer is being used, and if this is how things are done in the U.S.A., then that is how it is.
