Thanks to GWR for the daily posting of Ed Steer’s letter.

Today, I have picked two articles from that postings today that are to me most significant.

The first was about Eric Sprott’s plan () to set up a new bank in Canada that will give every one of us the chance to preserve that which we have worked for all our lives, a bank that gives us the opportunity of a gold based, global currency in effect. I doubt that he would have any hope at all if he tried this in the US. I suspect that the mandarins of Canadian Banking will already be subject to calls from their lords in the US about this. Even Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of Canada, and our Prime Minister will be pressured on this one by the most powerful of the US financial and administrative sectors. This is a huge threat to the US dollar and Eric Sprott must have the gonads of a crazed “Bull”. Will he have the freedom to consummate this “breakthrough” against all that the western world financial establishment fears? If he does succeed, I would be the first to take advantage of it…as would about millions of others. I wonder if it will go public? If so, buy the shares!http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/investment-ideas/streetwise/sprott-makes-a-bet-on-a-different-kind-of-bank/article2204088/

Secondly, thanks to Bluegold,

I decided to take a glance at the video of ‘the rapper’ at the ‘occupy Wall St.’ campaign. Heck, I have never liked ‘rapper’ music, being an old fart, but what the hell. I could not help but watch the whole interview. It was absolutely fascinating to me…and I suspect to all that had the luxury of time to take it all in. Here is someone speaking from an honest heart, someone that seems to have wisdom beyond his years, someone WHO GETS IT! If you can take the time…listen to this young man. He represents the truth and the hope of America. And again he has the gonads to take it on.

In the above two examples, what we have been presented with are two individuals who are making a difference because they have the tools to do so. God bless them because it takes real balls...and they have much more than most of us, and mush moer to lose...dare I say more than most of us.
