We are all such products of our environments, and it is so hard to be true independent thinkers. What do you do in a situation like this, when all that makes sense doesn't make sense, and all that doesn't make sense appears to be happening?

When you flip the light switch and the light doesn't go on, your mind immediately turns to the possible reasons for what is happening. Is the light bulb burned out? Is there a power outage? Is the switch bad? I would venture a guess that none of you initially ask the question, "Have the laws of physics and electricity ceased to function?" NO, you look for what's screwy in the system. Sometimes you can't find it for quite some time, but you KNOW that the screwiness must be there.

We know where this thing with the Fed and the printing of money and gold and silver will go, where it has to go. When exactly that will happen, none of us know, but we do know what must occur.

IS the system being manipulated, most likely, either intentionally or unintentionally. Either by well-meaning but unwise government officials or simply panicky individuals not sure what is going on or what to do, trying to save their savings.

The point is that something screwy is going on. If it doesn't seem screwy to you, then maybe you are screwy. It seems screwy to me. It doesn't seem to make sense. When things don't make sense, there can only be two reasons why. The first is that they make sense and I am wacky. The second is that they are wacky and I make sense.

I think the second is the case here. This gives me an advantage, because I know where things have to end up. This gives me a disadvantage, however, because I am walking the lonely road, we all are. It's no fun sometimes to be Noah building the ark, or sitting on the ark. Bull
