Gold-Bar Vending-Machines Rolled-Out At South-Korean Convenience-Stores

Buying physical precious metals is a time-proven method of securing generational wealth while reckless central bankers debase currencies and ignite the worst inflation storm in a generation. Gold and silver investing has long been seen as a hedge against inflation and a store of value against currencies. Access to physical precious metals is challenging and usually involves a bullion dealer. Sometimes online dealers take weeks to receive the delivery. 

South Korean convenience store GS Retail, with 10,000 locations, has understood the soaring demand for ‘sound money’ and wants to enhance accessibility. The company rolled out gold bar vending machines with offerings in five sizes, weighing 0.13 ounces to 1.3 ounces, according to UPI News Korea. 

“The most popular gold bar is the smallest, the 0.13-ounce one, which is currently priced at around $225,” a GS Retail representative told the media outlet.

How else can some youngster “save” for retirement?

Certainly it’s NOT in “dollars” or even in dollar-denominated assets.  When the FED, aka the Gooferment, is inflating the fiat currency into worthlessness.  Remember Zimbabwe and the Weimar Republic?  Coming soon to the USA.  

How long can the Ponzi scheme last?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: How can a State not have “standing” to call the Federal Gooferment to account for not following the laws?

Supreme Court Strikes Down Texas’ Challenge to Biden Border Policy
Tyler O’Neil / @Tyler2ONeil / June 23, 2023

*** begin quote ***

The Supreme Court struck down a challenge to President Joe Biden’s border policy Friday, ruling that Texas and Louisiana lack standing to challenge a policy the states claimed was illegal.

The Supreme Court Friday stuck down Texas and Louisiana’s legal challenge to new Biden administration border policies that violate federal statutes and harm citizens in Texas and Louisiana, the states argued. (Read the full ruling below.)

All justices besides Samuel Alito concurred in the opinion that Texas and Louisiana lack standing to challenge the new rules, which the Department of Homeland Security promulgated in 2021.

Texas and Louisiana argued that federal law requires law enforcement to arrest certain noncitizens upon their release from prison or entry of a final order of removal, but the new DHS rule only prioritizes the arrest and removal of noncitizens who are suspected terrorists or dangerous criminals who unlawfully entered the country recently. The states claimed that these rules harmed them by imposing extra costs by requiring them to continue to incarcerate or supply social services—such as health care and education—to noncitizens.

I just don’t understand.  No one seems to want to enforce the laws!

Argh!

POLITICAL: I guess “We, The Sheeple” don’t care about honesty in Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats

The Swamp Strikes Back
By Dennis Lund

*** begin quote ***

One example of the evidence contained was the deposition on page 28 of one Richard Salazar, who under penalty of perjury stated that he saw multiple boxes of ballots and cash delivered from a private residence in Tempe, to Runbeck Election Services, the company hired by Maricopa County to assist in the counting of absentee ballots.

The corruption revealed in the presentation needs to be taken seriously and indeed it is, according to Thaler, at least by some people in positions of authority to investigate issues well beyond the election fraud and other aspects stated above.

*** end quote ***

Certainly seems like EVERYTHING and EVERYONE is corrupt in Arizona.  

If the voters don’t care, all is lost.

So sad, “a republic if you can keep it”.

Sigh!

DISCOURAGING: Gooferment “welfare” is the new form of slavery

Friday, June 23, 2023

https://palexander.substack.com/p/the-great-society-potus-lyndon-johnson?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=579356&post_id=129401807&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email

The Great Society: POTUS Lyndon Johnson & Democrats destroyed minority & African-American, he broke their backs with his fraud dependency program in 1964 (the largest social reform plan in history)

  • these democrats that wanted to do good by blacks, well, with welfare, housing etc. they reversed 100 years of strong progress where blacks post slavery were outpacing whites on most socio-indicators

Dr. Paul Alexander  —  Jun 19, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Key was welfare that emerged as the ‘husband’ of the minority American woman; Democrats took the father out of the home, destroyed his role, his place, turned potent strong independent hard working blacks into dependents, destroyed the will and mind. No government program has done more damage to the American people than The Great Society. Broke the backs of blacks when truth be told, blacks were digging out of the slavery hole post 1865, outpacing whites.

From 1965 (100 years post abolition of slavery), when you look at the socio-economic indicator curves, you see it plunge downwards for blacks while whites stayed up. What blacks were doing on their own was reversed in 1965 and one key is the devastation of the nuclear family where today over 3 out of 4 African American homes are lead by a single person often not mother who is a crack whore while father is a dead beat drug addict thug just screwing each woman he could and getting her pregnant. Not taking responsibility and leaving the kids fatherless who then use the judge as their mother, the streets as their homes, and the jail as their father. 

*** and ***

It is the Democrat party that is the modern day slave plantation and it is imperative that blacks leave that plantation. Complete, for it worked to destroy them. 

*** end quote ***

Malcolm X said: “The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasn’t taken, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America, the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems. Our problems will never be solved by the white man.”

And, my sainted Uncles heard this and agree that he had hit the nail on the head.

“I recall when Mrs. Viola Meekins, when I was a student at Stoddart-Fleisher Junior High School in the late 1940s, had our class go page by page through a textbook and correct each instance in which Negro was printed with a lowercase “n.” In Malcolm X’s day, and mine, Negro was a proud name and not used derisively by blacks as it is today.”  — Walter Williams 

“The welfare state is the oldest con game in the world. First you take people’s money away quietly and then you give some of it back to them flamboyantly.”  — Thomas Sowell 

Instead of “Black Live Matter” stealing from that charity and phone hearings on “reparations”, we should demand the Gooferment get out of the “welfare” business that is the new form of slavery for poor white AND black women.

Sigh!

Argh!

GAMBLING: Losing money on races that don’t exist

​Life
The Horse Isn’t Real. People Are Betting on It Anyway.

  • In virtual sports betting, the house edge is insane, there’s even more stigma and the racing never stops.

by Kyle MacNeill  — June 13, 2023, 3:45am

*** begin quote ***

It’s 10AM in my local William Hill and the races are on at the picturesque Hilltop Gardens. Sugar Cube, 12-1, is doing the impossible: Having loitered at the back of the pack for most of the race, he’s advancing up the field as if he’s just snorted an entire bag of Silver Spoon. Leading horse Yes Ma Lady, ridden by Kieran Tyler, starts to slow, saddled by fatigue. No wonder, he’s been racing literally all day. Sugar Cube crystallises near the front; Council Gritter eats dust; Yoga Flame doggedly slips downward; the final stretch is in sight. It’s a photo finish – Sugar Cube takes it. It’s an instant classic.

Interesting read. At least it’s not betting on “anything that talks”.

BITCOIN: Blackrock entering Crypto means ₿ is going mainstream in the financial markets

Why is Blackrock entering Crypto, a HUGE deal that shouldn’t be disregarded.

*** begin quote ***

BlackRock, the world’s largest and strongest asset manager with over $8 trillion in assets under management, has officially entered the crypto market in 2023. They have filed for a Bitcoin Fund and are probably buying the dip big time right now.

*** and ***

TLDR: BlackRock’s entry into the crypto market is a game-changer for the industry. It’s a clear sign that digital assets are here to stay and are poised for mainstream adoption. With more institutional investment, professionalization, and regulation on the horizon, the crypto market is about to get a lot more exciting.

*** end quote ***

This is good and bad.  They are the huge elephant in the room capable of making and manipulating the market.

And since “regulatory capture” is the rule un the USA Gooferment, don’t expect any “fairness” or “justice”.

Just look at the manipulation of commodity money metals and be warned.

I’d treat the “Market Price” of ₿ as possibly over or under stated as it suits Blackrock’s needs.

DCA of small savings regularly is the only way we have to address that.

When the lid blows of fiat currencies, then expect ₿ to explode.  Remember that fellow who bought tow pizzas for some bitcoins?  Don’t be that fellow.

Sigh!

HEALTH: If vaccines don’t cause autism, then how do you explain … the Amish?

If vaccines don’t cause autism, then how do you explain all this evidence?

  • We see an odds ratio of 5 when comparing autism in vaxxed vs. unvaxxed in MULTIPLE studies. The before:after odds are even more extraordinary. How can we ignore all this evidence?

There are large cohorts with a no vaccination policy which have NO autism

1. The Amish: We couldn’t find an Amish child with autism who wasn’t vaccinated or adopted.

To me this is the most persuasive irrefutable evidence that something is wrong!

Where are the refutations?

Til then, I’m afraid for the children.

OBSERVATION: Has “feminism” robbed women of respect?

How Women Have Robbed Themselves
By Deanna Chadwell

*** begin quote ***

Women in our society have traditionally been treated with a unique honor and respect. Were we always treated fairly? Not entirely — there was a time when we couldn’t vote. There was a time when women couldn’t own property. True. But since forever men have been showing us, even in small ways, that what we have to offer society is paramount. We can make babies and without babies, mankind cannot fulfill even the most basic mandate — multiply and fill the earth.

*** end quote ***

Certainly seems that in today’s “Only Fans” world, women have diminished themselves into mere “sex workers”, units of production, or shrill harpies.  #METOO has exposed some of the elite’s “sins” and horrible exploitation.  Epstein’s Clients have yet to named and shamed.  Injustices seem to be hard to prove or rectify.  Some cases are absurd on their face, but do nothing, when prosecuted, to make it harder for real victims to come forward and be believed.

A sad day for the USA when we fail to treat the “weaker sex” with the respect they deserve.

Argh!

POLITICAL: Despite his flaws, DJT45 will send a message to politicians and bureaucrats in the Deep State

Our Broken System Needs Disruption, And Trump Is The Disruptor
By Danny Lemieux

*** begin quote ***

“We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.” —C.S. Lewis

When Donald J. Trump established himself in the president’s office in January 2017, one of the first things he did was hang a portrait of President Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office. That was a signal.

Andrew Jackson was an irascible war hero known for his blunt manner, explosive temper, and inclined to physical violence. He was elected President in 1828, his second attempt, as a reformer who promised to clean out the “deep state” corruption of his day.

*** end quote ***

While DJT45 has many many flaws, he is promising to “disrupt” the system!
