When I bought my first gold and silver coins, gold was $175 and silver was around $3. Back then it was just older folks that recognized the relentless rot of inflation. Bankers and politicians were not as bold nor as arrogant as today. We had people in key positions with vision and conviction to deal with catastrophe, not use it as an opportunity to chip away at the foundation of the constitution.

There was no huge paper con-game orchestrated by big banks and politicians. the price of nearly all commodities reflected supply and demand. Silver was suppressed by government action but it was a supply of silver pushed onto the market by the US govt not a pile of paper and rigged markets. Most families had only one “bread winner”

Today we have a parasitic banking cartel and a corrupt, bought off government. Price discovery is corrupt. Accounting is corrupt. politicians are corrupt. Bankers (the big money center bankers) are corrupt. The media is nothing more than a highly managed propaganda, entertainment tool serving the needs of the power centers of new york and dc.

The artificial control (manipulation) of nearly every market has created imbalances. The ignorance of the people assures that anyone who can see the corruption and tries to report it is labeled a conspiracy nut. People have been dumbed down and nearly brainwashed.

But there is now growing stress in the world. Dumb lazy people are missing their soma ration, feeling the pain of corruption and mismanagement and starting to wake up. Pain is the new stimulus. In pockets in all corners of the globe sheeple are starting to see that something is drastically wrong. Slowly they are questioning their governments, ..their institutions, ...their fiat.

It is this slow but relentless awakening sue to pain that will change the world. PArt of that change will be a move to value and honest money. It has already started, but it is accelerating. At some point it will be come a global phenomena.

No one knows exactly what the new world will look like, but those who have acquired metal and pm stocks will be best prepared to survive what will surely be a stressful transition. There will be a new understanding of consequence to bone headed action. And our juniors will be the new bubble. Everyone will be telling us how they made a killing buying ECU at $10
