the meaning of life.
A
Tribute to Jim Sinclair.
A
genius, with the heart of a lion, and the soul of a king. He
in my opinion never really expected those gold numbers to
show up. His is the voice saying they may. Do not take my
advice on anything.
And
he wanted those in his circle who learned the valuable
lesson of self protection. Any who bought gold or Hui
in his time frame prospered. Hui went from 170 or so to 220.
Gold from 398 to now at 412. .. So if they (followers and
not seekers) lost money they did the very thing he warned
against.
Those
who margined and where blind to the movement of gold lost.
And became bitter. My he has been a clear voice against the
sloppy, and evil Keynesian system of economics. And one of
the few that would lift his voice in opposition. Such a rare
and priceless gift. Honest intention, and clear vision.
Not
for price targets. They are really not important on the
short term but the direction and steady erosion of our most
priceless gift. To be a free person. And he is all of that.
Even in the death of his beloved. he still walks free and
undersands the beauty of life and the eternal nature of all
relationships. A golden chain of understanding. Such a gift.
I
bow to that experience that so willingly gives the time and
effort, for the expression of his caring.
With grace and humor. And even in a loss such virtue.
Much is not
mentioned in the discourse of the editorial writer.
But "Much" is way to hard for the mind to come
to grips with. Russia, children blown up..this happened in the
earlier stages of the Viet Nam carnage, oil, and opium war, by
the CIA.
Nobody will come to
grips with 9-11. A tragedy of our own making, and nobody will
look at the cause. Keynesianism would be a good start. It
has roots in terror, and can only be fostered and upheld by
progressive steps in greater terror, But the consequences
of that insight would cast the finger at all of the economics
profession, political minds, universities, the very selective
and primitive idea of a master race, and gods manifest
destiny.
an Idea that should
have been exposed early, but the mind was too fond of an easy
answer for progress, and would not see the consequences until
it would be to late.
We destroy with
unseen fingers the hope of mankind. With arrogance and blind
belief. I do weep.
Oh the
economic understanding is awesome. Deflation
built into the system, Thus
inflation built into the system.
Whistles, Banners and
Balloons
The political season
in America is upon us. We are once again dancing to the flute
of a political charade.
We spend thousands
of hours in study of Whistles, Banners, and Balloons.
But hardly ten minutes in trying to understand the death of
reason and freedom. Keynesian socialist polices are endorsed.
Poison is administered a drip at a time.
We have not taken
the time to study the principles of Austrian Economics
outlined in the novel Atlas Shrugged, nor have we listened to
the warnings in Orwell's 1984. The Road to Serfdom by Hayek is
ignored on our road to the promise of a forgotten
history,
We vote as if some
magic hand pushes us to participate in our own slavery. It is
a persons duty, it is the call of the freeman to vote. No
choices mind you just vote. Plan A is a rope, plan B is a gun.
But as certain as Roundup will kill a plant. We sow the very
seeds of our own demise.
High school
popularity contest, promises made, smiling 200 million
productions. a dinner laced with cyanide, and the slow
death of freedom at the alter of political suicide. What
strange bedfellows. Hemlock is administered as
the body politic lowers it's head into the pillow of denial
and blindness, the eyes covered by black, ear plugs of stone.
Drink up they smile it will not hurt again.
We follow the sound
of the flute, the whistle and the dance of laughing eyes, and
devious hearts... the parade of crowd pleasing propaganda that
wags the dog of popular myth.
And we do it all,
like Pavlov's dog, with Whistles, Banners and Balloons. Ring.
Drool.
The Absence of the Roman Empire In
the dialogue of today.. we bring out the experts to explain what
is happening.. Complete
distortions of word usage and meanings fit modern customs and

by work but by deception. The absence of the Roman Empire speaks volumes. Resistance Movement 17 Where
does "resistance" ultimately come from? Another Rant against Technical Analysis For

"The March of Folly" for starters.. Gold
website boards are much to important to be left to day traders
who bask in the glory of making money on short term trades in
the gold bull market that will allow any with a patient
attitude to make money. More than T. A. I
know that some give Jim Sinclair the short look because The Death of Reason. We
see death on a daily basis. Like it catches us by surprise.
Death
Small Towns, Small Minds, and
Manure.
As the world becomes
smaller with the growth of technology and transportation.
Culture and ideas seem to grind to the mean and lower. The world
has become indifferent to suffering. Which we mitigate with
words and bombs?
Communication is
reduced to soundbites. Faces are glowing from the boxes in
living rooms world wide. We pay homage to the dead and ignore
the living. Hanging on lies we grow accustomed to the creeping
loss of freedom. Perhaps we do not know the meaning of
freedom.
We close the
curtains to our minds and except propaganda of the few who
would rule our lives with lies. Afraid to escape the mundane
we flee to the path of gobblegook.
Not willing to think
new thoughts for ourselves we quote masters of deceit. The
economist of the day, business leaders, politicians. The
politics of destruction amid the balloons of the high school
of our youth. Placards and hype and empty promise.
It seems we have
reduced our selves to small town gossip, Peyton Place, our
minds acccept poison and food, and the whiff of big brother
not as slogan but as a fact. Now is a good time to get out
your copy of Madness of Crowds by Mackay and get a whiff. Of
the destruction that is caused by fiat and what happens in the
market place when greed abounds,
Notice that smart
people leaving the city with gold hidden in wagons piled high
with manure. Me thinks that manure is sweeter and the best
place to hide. For it beats the lies and propaganda, the
printing press, and vultures on the prowl.
Uncharted Waters Have
now been reading mostly semi-bullish news guys, who now as the
market turns are saying 'stuff sure changes fast now we might
see a turn in market in gold be careful.. we could go down to
fill in the pivot point and gap left over from a painted
chart... blah. blah.' and on and on.. A
couple I listen to.. Democracy.. American Style If
the price of gold is suppressed and fiat rules the day.. For your own good
Saturday in the
closet as I look over the earth and dream. Of laughter,
of sinking into a soft bed of understanding, acceptance.
People of all walks exercising the fruits of their own
labor. Quiet times in a mansion, in a tent, in the sands, on a
hill.
Friends and lovers
and dreamers, going about the business of creating life, of
living life, of sharing life.
Not at the expense
of others, in the notion that we must be lawed to death, to be
spun to death with words. With pronouncements from on low.
Do this do that, for your own good, All like a b-rated movie?
The destruction of nations have been started with these words,
"for your own good" (see Alice Miller and the roots
of violence)
I am beating the
hell out of you for your own good, said the father of Hitler,
as he was tormented and abused as a child. Of course this is
no excuse. The whole German culture was a case study of
abuse and the use of the belt for control. A message
from the past. We have not yet figured out. Does this go on
much too often?
Might makes right ..
lessons go unheeded, we repeat the dance of yesterday, in the
stars, in the charts, in the misery of our lives.
We should as a
nation bow in shame, in sackcloth and ashes. And plead
forgiveness for the misery and sorrow we have caused to
others.. and plead with the gods of karma to have mercy on
nations, and it's children and it's wives and fathers and
leaders.
Oh I know the
hysterics that will follow by some with this statement, so be
it. With logic and historical truth any sound bite coming in
my direction would be destroyed with the pen of justice and
the paper of history.
I write and give
voice because of the nature of gold and honesty and freedom
The closet the dream
of transformation and the destruction of the wicked witch of
the West.
To whom it may concern
In my closet, the
laptop is a window to the world.
I have scanned the
views of many, and wish to offer a different point of view.
For starters my I go
to the weekly silver bulletin issued by the respected Jason
Hummel.
Here is a missive
that gives valuable information on silver and miners, yet his
bullish view on gold and silver is influenced by the writings
of the prophetic view point of an angry god that has no
control over his creation, that the solution is to bath
the world in blood.. as Satan and his host take care of the
sinners at the last days, and then throws in his and
the fundamental Christians view of a world gone amok.
At the same time
others in the eastern thought, also have scripture that
in the same respect gives an opposite and equal reaction that
in fact it is the western world that needs to be purged.
At the seeds of the
gold and silver break out, and the war of the religious points
of view. No clear answer has been given. It as if the brains
and logic of the best minds have reached a decided dullness
that makes me hide in the closet much deeper than necessary.
Lets us examine the
scripture of both cultures with a different point of view..For
a change let us stop our preprogrammed response..and clearly
look at the Book of Death. (Revelation)
This Book has been
the subject of all the horrors of the world for 1500 years. It
has been the excuse of the crusades, wars, justification for
all the empty promises of a god gone amuck. Satans wrath to
bring the sinners to justice.
The Christian
viewpoint was used by Hitler to purge the Jews, was used by
The Pilgrim fathers to savage the American Indian, to destroy
a nation in Peru. With horror and blood.
Enough I say.
The Book of
Revelation is an attempt by John to destroy the very nature of
the human beast. It was His own struggle to overcome
his very nature. To seek that kingdom of god within his
own self. The symbols he used were understood by the original
mind that could read (very few could). of demons that existed
within. (by the way this is the same message of Buddha for
those with eyes to see ). It was a message for himself,
and others who would not point fingers at others but would
look with in, for the keys to Christian and human living.
The symbol 666 in
numerology is a number not yet complete. 777 more
complete and the number 12 was used as wholeness. And why
the number of the beast as some public figure is beyond my
powers to understand.
We use the symbol of
the walking lady of liberty on the silver coin. This does not
mean she is a real lady, but the symbol of freedom.
The Book of
Revelation is being
used even today to justify a war in progress, as a sign
of gods willingness to allow satan the power to scourge
the earth with death. It has been used in Jones-Town to feed
the believers with a cup of poison. It has been used as
the excuse for whole groups of believer's to sell all and
stand in open fields waiting for the rapture. Some as
early as 1860 here in America. Last I noticed they were still
waiting.
All scripture when
penned by the original authors was an attempt to tell
the folks to kill the monster with in. To destroy root and
all, the evil nature of our own limited understanding.
The beast and evil pictures were greed, and anger, and
tendency's to protect ourselves at any cost.
We now see a
Christian nation going into war and performing some of the
most evil things to consider. Making terrified brothers and
sisters, take off clothes and perform sadistic acts for
information. How I cry out for justice from my closet.
A Christian ethic
that wants for love your neighbor as your very self, do
no kill, forgive 70x times 70= forever. And the very nature of
the softness of the human nature.
No wonder our
brothers and sister find the Christian point of view pointless
and most defend them selves with angry voices. And now the
force of terrior.
Out of the shadow of
Christianity the message of peace we send rockets, and blood
and misery. We defend our selves with empty platitudes of
it is gods will.
I weep here in the
closet for a nation and a world, adrift in the
sludge of empty ideas, and empty people, and empty lives
Formulae Ski has
some amazing success.. over the last 20 years he started his
system because his dad lost his savings trusting in gold.. when
it went down at the peak in 1980.. From a self admitted wild man ..
but he has made a fortune in gold.. Untitled
Been laughing all
day in my room. On and off of course.
We have the greatest
debt bubble in History of man. The greatest frenzy of
printing fiat in the history of man. World wide cheating and
deception unparalleled in history. The greatest propaganda
machine world wide.
A social mentality
that is focused on mating and dating habits of strangers.
Little skinny people everywhere acting out the icons of
civilization.
Hairdo's, and
face-lifts and tummy tucks on the tube. More attention to face
and fame, than substance and truth.
Will the gold's go
up, will they go down-line and out?
Rome seems to be on
fire, and tiddlywinks and sober faced midgets fester and
canker the body politic.
There is only
one way for gold to go. and that is it will be more
valuable than what ever the alternative will be.. for the
exchange of work and value.,
We live in the
twenty-second sound bite, the day trade. The yell and shout
gang. my way. Is best. over here over there.
Peace here in
Olathe, quiet, reflective. and as far as I look. Every thing
is the same. Must be the sound of time beating out its
rhythm. Will we outlive the calender, the rocks, the trees,
the very stuff that sustains and nurtures mother earth?
On its destiny to cover our bodies and voices.. with a silent
resolve.

Those things are not
to find. Do you find a needle in a haystack. Take all the hay
away. behold the needle.
Pay no attention to
the two dollar bills, the lies. They are like the mirage of
water on a desert road. You do not believe the water will
drown the car. When you reach the point that the bills and
lies are like the water they will drop away.
Leaving only the
needle. The Hay is blown away by the act of meditation.
the mind paints the pictures. They are an outcropping of your
own and the worlds beliefs.
The Prince of Peace
is all.
Be still and know
that that all is "I" and "I will never leave or
forsake you.
"I' is not

hay has been blown away.

I can't find the key to the
peace and the quiet that you reference. Did anyone find it?
How can we amidst these grand
lies and these phony 2 dollar bills!
Who finds this lovable
Prince? Did we locate the Magic Self or was it merely an
outcropping?
I have only questions -- if
you catch the drift.
The death is no small
thing-but it must be reduced. So the ego melts away into the
genuine kindness-that is so elusive and that no one can
define.
Do you know what I mean?

The Easter of our Lives
Time stands still sometimes
as the blinking light on the main street stops nothing as
there is nothing to stop.
May we all find peace this
weekend. And find an Easter in our own lives. From death of
the small self, to the birth of the Magic Self within.
May the Prince of Peace rise
from the dead, oh no not the One from two thousand years ago?
But the Prince of Peace (1) which waits in our
self-imposed prison." I " longs for freedom and
birth.
Can we not see what IS,
rather than the no-thing we pretend to be?
Gold and Silver are a symbol
of that freedom lest we forget.

Additional note from
the closet. How sad we do not see the omnipresence of
creation.
Perhaps Isaiah was
given a look at the majestic self we can all be?
A Muse from the Closet
Oh what a great and human
slice of life we all enjoy.
From the closet letting the
flow be my voice. Some may not get it, some may not like it.
This is understood. It takes
a world to make an experience. The wonder of the
"division of labor" every person giving that which
he is capable of. some may never measure up to the
perfection that many think only resides with in the deep
seeded emotion of their own being.
It is always the other
guy, his action, his flaws. The critic walks without
flaw. Riding the crest of adulation and popular opinion.
Undaunted the judge and the jury. The arbitrator of all
wisdom, the voice of wisdom. I edit and reform and make
all voices walk in the path of my own experience. Capricious
yes, measured response no.
A point of view, all have
one. (or should) Ready to make amends of course. All
make mistakes it is apart of life and learning. But also the
ability and capacity to laugh, and cry and giggle. The ability
to love and forgive.
What more is there.
Will the constant roar of the trading dollar find you peace?
What about friends, vodka, Willy. The joy of poetry.
"Hath not custom made
this life more sweet
Than that of painted
pomp? Are not these woods
More free from peril
than the devious court?
Here feel we the
penalty of Adam,
The seasons'
difference; as, the icy fang
And churlish chiding of
the winter's wind,
Which, when it bites
and blows upon my body,
Even till I shrink with
cold, I smile and say
"This is no
flattery: these are counselors
That feeling persuade
me who I am.'
Sweet are the uses of
adversity,
Which like the toad,
ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious
jewel in his head;
And this our life
exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees,
book in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and
good in ever thing
I would not change it.

History, economics. The
ability to fall and get back up. Dispute the disapproval of
the
crowd.
Discussion, some popular,
some strange, some beyond belief. This life is for learning
and, I bow to the powers of life.
They are all.
We must walk free without
guilt, being in bondage to no man or idea, friends with all,
loving our enemies even as our own "Self."
Speech and discussion come from the soul of a free man or
women. No one should be able to take this gift away.
That is why I am an Austrian
Economist at heart. A freeman in spirit. Which is earned
with honest labor and life long experiences.
Gold and Silver are the
honest weights and measures in which all civilization must be
rooted any thing else is pompous. Any person who try to limit
the expression and honest dialogue is dishonest and a
traitor to his own belief in freedom. (see patriot act) And
you can take that to the bank.

Amorphous Sludge (1)
Thick foam and a gooey mass
of agony rocked the closet this morning. (It threw my
protective clafdb into the dark corner and I huddled in the
dark room with my hands over my ears). A blast from a
distant place and time like a jackhammer left me weak,
It was ugly, it was
bitterness, it was carnage, it was blood, it was death.
Who pays the price for this folly? When nations buy up armor,
and bombs, and troops, and glory. How is this wealth
transferred and where does it come from?
It comes at the price
of Bondage for future offspring, at the point of a gun. With a
socialist dream called Keynesian Economics. (2) We as a people
march in the streets for justice in trade, and against the
poverty of power. For the end of wars and a time of growth and
freedom. Yet we miss the cause. Our eyes are blinded as
we try to cross the river on the back of an alligator thinking
it to be a log.
When the mass mind sees that
peace, strength, and beauty come with the price of honest
effort. With the weights and measures of a gold standard
(3) and the practice of an Austrian based economic model.
Then blood and agony will
surely decline as war is limited to the purse of a nation's
frugality and honest ledgers. And economic slavery is
defeated.
Then perhaps the lion will
lay with the lamb, and no wars will intrude into the closet,
the secret place of the most high. And the thunder of silence
will bring rest to a troubled world.

Stationary Bike (1)
Sometimes in life as we
approach critical decisions it is good to remember that life
and history seem to be on a tread mill. Oh we may drive
fancier cars, and get where we are going with greater speed
and efficiency. But are we really going anywhere?
In a discerning way,
Barbara Tuchman, "March of Folly, From Troy to
Vietnam" asks a stationary bike question.
"Why is it that nations and governments, against their
own best interests, proceed down paths of delusion? "
( question framed in my scribble)
With history to give us
direction, and the terms of life set with the calendar, why is
it that politicians, business leaders, economists, secular and
religious leaders and populations continue to make
choices that befuddle?
Why is it that we see death,
and poverty, war, and inhumanity on a world scale? We are
racing forward, yet still on a stationary bike.
Issue to explore from the
closet. Or is transformation possible?
