Interesting post. Substitute BTC for Gold, and you might be on to something.

Gold is not an investment. It’s an insurance policy. Is it a good one? I don’t know. What I do know, is that for the average person (obviously my view) it’s a better option than anything else that exists. And has been for 1000s of years.

Viewing gold as an investment, particularly over short time frames, is an incorrect approach.

I’ll leave it at this: if you research the Roman Empire you will discover that when a man’s daughter got married, he was expected to buy and wear a new custom woolen Toga, draped over his everyday Tunic, to mark the solemnity of the occasion. The cost of that new woolen Toga, 1oz of gold. For a ‘working class’ Roman citizen, that might be a year or two of labor to save enough money to accumulate an Oz of gold.

Today, a moderately priced custom suit costs 1oz of gold.

Priced in Oz of gold, the median price of a house today, is the same as it was in 1975.

I’ll take my chances with the shiny metal, which has tracked the destruction of purchasing power of fiat currencies for 1000s of years.

"Priced in Oz of gold, the median price of a house today, is the same as it was in 1975." No way. The fed note to exchange rate for an ounce of gold is way off from the median price of a home where I resided in 1975. I could have bought quite a nice place in Morristown TN for $45,000 in 1975. That same house today is worth in the same location, according to Zillow $196,000, which I see as inflated for the area and it's not on the market. In 1975 gold was about $185 per ounce. That means in 1975 your house would have cost 283 ounces of gold. That same house today costs $196,000 and the price of gold is right about $2300 which is about 85 ounces of gold. So the gold "value" has FAR outstripped the Fed note value. Read this: https://www.courageouslion.us/p/thank-you-federal-reserve EVERYONE should read that. As a matter of fact for an economics lesson you will not get anywhere "credited" read this: https://www.courageouslion.us/p/blood-running-in-the-streets-mobs

I get your point. But you are not making the comparison I made. Although it’s still a good comparison. I said the median home price, perhaps I could have made it clear I meant on a national basis.

Bottom line, as you correctly state for your area, and true nationally as well, priced in gold housing is the same or cheaper than it was in 1975.

I think when the shit hits the fan - we will enter a barter system based on individual assessments and not a gov. approved value system. We saw this in the great manufactured depression 0f 1929 and again in the created banking/housing crisis in 2008. A dentist I know exchanged his service for a gun and other things he needed. When my Dad was growing up during the depression, you could get medical care for a chicken - there was little money where he lived and stores accepted trade. If you were unable to pay but good for it was noted on the due bill or tab which could be paid off with cash or commodities or services. We can't anticipate all possible scenarios - but humans have been around longer than the bankers - their plan was written hundreds of years ago and adjusted where needed. It was and is guided by Satan and installed with fear and control- ours has to be guided by God and carried out with faith, wisdom, and discernment. Discerning truth from lies and the intent of what we are being told is vital to survival. We may not have the answers - but unless we ask the questions and try to understand things instead of just accepting what we are told or things we find it convenient to believe, we will continue to be complicit in their plan, IMHO.

Thanks for the link. I’ll check it out when I can.

I’m not defending predatory lending, or all the derivatives that banks were using to create value out of thin air. But, at the same time, if you don’t have interest, how does that work? How do people get ahold of borrowed money without crashing the system if they default? Do you have a few sentences to explain an alternative? Just really curious. And I will check out the link soon but I would love a simple explanation in the meantime.

Hi Brandy, good question! My observation and experience is my first credit card, JC Penney, was obtained in 1976. Prior to that, stores had "lay away plans." Also, there were Savings Stamps our families saved and you saved up enough to buy stuff. Plus, banks were kinder back then; they offered high interest rates on savings accounts. I think we're all headed for the Middle Ages. The bad news is feudalism. But the good news is guilds and Christendom. Back then, going into debt was only for the aristocrats, maybe? The banksters, the money men, are very shrewd. I read somewhere that they planned to make borrowing money so easy for us Lilliputians so they could, and have, reap the money from the debt. They made home ownership and college education loans very, very accessible.

Also, I read a quote somewhere that they designed their financial magic to be too complex for the average person to grasp -- so true in my case, until the last several years.

Brandy - usury is borrowing with interest as opposed to borrowing with no interest to pay. What the connection is to Cain is I have no idea.

Expand full comment

That’s what I thought about the definition of usury but I don’t understand any sort of practical application of borrowing with no interest. Who takes the risk of having people not pay them back?

If I were in a position to loan out money, and I gave 100 people $100,000, and three of the borrowers defaulted, how would I recover the loss?

Or same scenario with government loaning out money or bankers… I don’t see a realistic way to loan out money, without interest, that wouldn’t destroy the person or entity that is making the loans.

Btw, I’m not saying the current system that we have is good (private profits and public losses).

Expand full comment

The issue is that banks who are giving loans to today are taking no risk because they are not actuality lending or parting with anything. It's fiat currency - promises to pay backed by nothing. Or put differently when we borrow money from them, their gold values do not go down.

Unlike you or me who when we loan money, we lose the ability to use that money temporarily and we carry the risk that it will never be repaid. It's a totally different scenario.

Expand full comment

I see what you are saying. However, fiat currency is a different topic than usury. I’m aware of many of the downsides of fiat currency. Just wondering about the term usury specifically and what system is an alternative to usury.

Expand full comment

I read your other comments before replying to you initially and I understood you to be asking how do we reward and protect the loaner if not with usury (interest) .

That's why I explained (albiet briefly) between you and me, interest at a reasonable rate is acceptable IMO. It pays you for not having access to your money (like rent) and it protects you against lost. Between you and me we both value the money equally - we are in our reality exchanging things of equal value.

Fiat currency comes in with your government or bankers example, where you ask the questions what alternative is there that wouldn't destroy the entity making the loan. So I said the issue here is, the entities will not be destroyed because here the value is not equal between the parties. The one party is merely issuing out promises to pay that are backed by nothing. If the money is not repaid they loose nothing, their gold stocks do not go down. Yes some numbers on their ledger will indicate loss but in reality there is no loss.

On the other hand, the debtor who is unable to pay back the loan is now required to forfeit assets to the lender, things of real value - house, land, car etc - for the repayment of something of imaginary value to the bank or government.

There is no difference between governments and bankers, the bankers issues the same money to government out of the same non-existing pot of gold and they dont ask for government assets when governments default and they have to bail them out - they just go into more "debt". So there is no exchange of assets of real value. Unlike when the individual or citizens is involved.

Today, you cannot separate fiat currency and usury, they are not different topics, because fiat currency is our reality like it or not.

The question we should be asking is how do we get out of a fiat currency system not what are the alternatives to usury.

Expand full comment

I understand the problems with fiat currency and the situation we face with quantitative easing and such. it’s certainly not a good system for the average citizen.

I guess my lack of understanding was specific to the term “usury”, it’s definition and the alternative. I have seen people use the term in a negative way and I just needed clarity. But, the definition may not be a simple “paying interest on borrowed money”? Maybe usury means more. Maybe when people use the term they are meaning something more akin to predatory lending? Or against banking schemes? Or something along those lines?

I just want to know what people mean when they use the word usury. I’m starting to believe that it’s just a general term that means whatever people want it to mean, having a general negative connotation regarding the current financial situation. I’m getting all sorts of varying answers, none of which seem to be specific to interest on borrowed money.

Fiat currency IMO would amount to unreasonable circumstances - but really any circumstances that would unduly /unfairly enrich the lender.

Unreasonable rates are pretty much self explanatory - except I guess people could have different views as what an unreasonable rate is.

Expand full comment

I guess there are a lot of ways to see the financial system. I see the exorbitant spending (and money printing) as more of the current problem than interest rates but the problems are deep and complicated and have many faces to them. They use rates to try and curb inflation but inflation isn’t really caused by interest rates so that’s an interesting dynamic.

The Community Reinvestment Act was an attempt to force financial institutions to lend to everyone at “reasonable” rates, no matter their ability to pay, and it was only a few years later that the sub-prime mortgage crisis exploded the financial world, which then ended up with the government injecting billions into the system to keep it going. What a mess. It was like the inverse of usury, or something along those lines…

Such crazy stuff goes on in politics/finances and we have little say but we all eventually pay the price in one way or the other.

that's what I don't understand about the definition of usury also. If a private individual lends money what is the problem with getting interest? People being what they are shouldn't the lender have some protection or incentive to lend the money in the first place? Isn't making an investment and getting some kind of return for the use of your money the same thing? The risk for you is losing all of your money. Which happens.

Expand full comment

Exactly my thoughts... After all the replies to my question, I think the meaning of usury seems to be referring to a situation where the lender is taking unfair advantage of the borrower. I personally think that most financial problems are really complex and there is probably quite a bit of unreasonable lending and also quite a bit of unreasonable borrowing right now. I know of many people who borrow way more money than they can reasonably afford to pay back, and for things that are not essential. But, I think the thing that is destroying most average people financially is the fact that the governments can print money and spend with wild abandon (including spending on things that are never accounted for) and inflate the currency, which is essentially stealing from the citizens. Every year, peoples' work and effort is worth less but they still have to keep working under such conditions unless they are independently wealthy and have inflation proof investments, or friends in high places. The financial system we have is pretty bad...

inflation is theft by government is exactly right. Usury does mean or at least one meaning is outrageous interest. One example is credit card debt, which I forgot about because I don’t allow that to happen. Another example is government if you don’t pay them the debt compounds.

Expand full comment

Credit card debt probably would be considered usury but it’s almost always voluntary on the part of the borrower. And in probably most cases, not being used for essentials only. If people are not educated enough to avoid credit card debt, I guess I don’t feel very sorry for them. I do know there are exceptions, and some people may not have any other choice, and are in a terrible situation by no fault of their own. In those cases, hopefully they have family, a church, or a strong community to lend them a hand.

The way debt can compound from government loans seems terrible too, but why would people borrow from the government? Borrowing for education seems like such a terrible investment the majority of the time. I’m flabbergasted at how many people choose to enslave themselves with loans that they don’t know they can pay back.

While I really feel that most people need to take responsibility for their lives, and not blame their poor financial decisions on others (usury), I can see that many people grow up in households where wise finances are not taught. That seems as morally wrong as usury. Or maybe more so. That’s my two cents (pun intended). There’s a lot of questionable actions by many people in our current culture.

Charging Interest on a loan was a NO, NO to G-d. It’s in the Bible. Has nothing to do with the loan getting paid back just that the person giving the loan is making money on it. That’s why J..’s we’re disliked because they made masses on loans.

Expand full comment

Usury is charging interest on a loan. If you are using a finite substance for the loan, usury wouldn't be allowed because there is no way to pay it out of a finite substance. Thus the biblical prohibition for usury. If you have a "monetary" system based on nothing, backed by nothing usury works because there is always somewhere the created out of thin air money comes from to cover the usury.

A quick simple course in economics based on reality:

"The Federal Government, with the cooperation of the Federal Reserve, has the inherent power to create money--almost any amount of it."

~ The National Debt, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, p. 8

ALMOST? Why only ALMOST? What keeps them from creating ALL they want? You? Me? Your dog? A full moon?

Federal Reserve Notes are not federal, represent no monetary reserves and no longer conform to the definition of notes. Failing to state who, will pay what, when or to whom - they ceased to be legal tender notes, (offers of money) almost 60 years ago. They are in fact instruments of legalized THEFT.

"...Keynes argues that inflation is a 'method of taxation' which the government uses to 'secure the command over real resources, resources just as real as those obtained by [ordinary] taxation'. 'What is raised by printing notes, ' he writes, is just as much taken from the public as is a beer duty or an income tax.' "

- 1980 Annual Report, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, pg 10

"All the paper money issued today is Federal Reserve notes. The real backing for the nation's money is faith in the strength, soundness and stability of the American economy."

~ The Hats the Federal Reserve Wears, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, pg 4

Faith is what backs our monetary system. YOUR faith. Do you still have faith?

"When plunder has become a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."

~ Frederic Bastiat in "The Law"

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation,

governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens."

~ 1980 Annual Report, Federal Reserve

Bank of Richmond, pg 6

Isn't confiscation of the wealth of the citizens a nice way of saying STEALING?

"Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience." ~ John Locke (1690)

If the money you earn has no value and you are forced through fiat paper legislation to take it for your labor, are you not having your property (labor) destroyed and are you not being reduced to nothing but slavery? Is not the state at war with the people?

5th Plank Communist Manifesto: Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

The Federal Reserve System, created by the Federal Reserve Act of Congress in 1913, is indeed such a “national bank” and it politically manipulates interest rates and holds a monopoly on legal counterfeiting in the United States. This is exactly what Marx had in mind and completely fulfills this plank, another major socialist objective. Yet, most Americans naively believe the U.S. of A. is far from a Marxist or socialist nation.

"The writers of the constitution knew exactly what they were doing when they wrote in Article I Section 10 paragraph 1 'No state shall... make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts. ' People able to barter with gold and silver coin control government and are free. Loss of the right to trade in gold and silver coin enslaves people to the creators of psychological 'money.'":

Gold is not the best "investment" you can make. You pointed out many of the reasons. If you want to own gold and you believe things are really going to go "wild weasel", you should buy cans of tuna.

1. You can eat it.

2. You can trade it.

3. You can still buy it for about $2 per can.

4. It'll store for five years (actually almost indefinitely, as long as the seal is intact and the can isn't bulging).

During the height of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, two cans of tuna traded for 1 oz. of gold. Are you better off spending $2000 for one ounce of gold or $4 for two cans of tuna?

Expiration depend on hunger - it actually says "best by date", which indicates all the flavor is still optimum. As long as the seal is intact and the can is not bulging, the contents should be safe to eat. They found almost 200 year old canned fish from an Arctic exploration site, where it was left behind. They opened it and fed it to a cat. I'm sure it wasn't as tasty, but the cat didn't die.

If your metals are in a depository, they're not yours. There are many uses for metals to include the use of silver in medicinal products. I'm not a physician, but I have heard it said that one of the reasons silver was removed from our coinage is due to its antibacterial properties--purportedly a benefit just as one handles it during the course of the day. That makes sense to me given the EVIL-DOERS' agenda--in that the hand sanitizers that are forever being promoted destroy both good and bad bacteria and are loaded with who knows whatever else!

Bottom line for me is that gold and silver are biblical money going back thousands of years. The price has been manipulated just like the stock market and everything else of value.

Getting rid of cash does seem to be the next step in implementing a complete control system (CBDCs), but I don’t see how we can keep that from happening. If a person holds all their investments in cash (as opposed to gold for instance), which is the simple deductive answer to preventing them from implementing CBDCs (?), that cash will be worth less every single day that a person holds it because the government and the rich bankers have decided that no one is going to stop them from printing cash at a rate that drives the value of the currency into the ground so they keep doing it.

There was a time when voters kind of cared about the national deficit and balanced budgets but I don’t hear anything of substance about it anymore, as we suffer ten percent inflation. During Covid, everyone lost their minds and the economy was destroyed and money was just pumped out into a smashed system (and people were just so simplistically and ignorantly happy to cash their government check). As far as I can tell, there aren’t any serious proposed solutions by candidates and the two leading candidates are the two who smashed the system. (We live in literal Clown World)

Gold may not prevent the loss of cash, or be a good investment, and maybe it is what “they” want people to move to, but is there anything that can turn around the coming cashless society? The power and ability to stop society from going cashless seems to be in the hands of the people who want to get rid of it.

Btw, someone paid my husband’s business in gold and silver coin for a service, official receipt given and all. I can see that it’s not practical for small purchases but it worked fine for that particular transaction. Just a side note.

There are a few movements encouraging people to use more cash but it seems like a token effort. Like, you need to have your investments elsewhere and just ‘get a little cash out of the bank on occasion to pay for groceries on Fridays’ - kind of a thing. That hardly seems like it has power to stem the tide of currency devaluation.

I think we are in the middle of a financial reset that we most likely can’t stop, whether we like it or not. I wish it wasn’t so but not enough people understand economics (myself included) or have the power to influence them in a meaningful way. The people with the power can kind of do whatever they want.

Agree. If we had been wise as a country, we would have acted before it was too late. The situation we are in is dire and I don’t think we have the power to stop it, as much as it pains me to type that.

Basically a sizable majority of US citizens would need to rise up and demand accountability for the financial system that our government and the fede are controlling.

Instead we got a president who instantly passed two-stimulus-packages-with-zero-accountability and the author of the Affordable Care Act, which is such an ironic name for a bill that caused the current near collapse of the medical system. Maybe I see Romney with too rosy of glasses but he wasn’t a drunken sailor spender like the last 4 presidents.

from what I remember romney was a vulture capitalist, acquiring companies in trouble and stripping them of assets. I watched one of the debates between romney and soetoro. The differences were hardly worth noting. Both well within the overton window. Of course soetoro had to conceal what he really was and is. A communist infiltrator whose intention is to destroy traditional and legacy America. Of course most politicians are just corrupt grifters and thieves, focused on acquiring power and wealth. But some, like soetoro and dozens of others are driven by greed and ideology. They hate America.

National politicians can't do what they promise because the bureaucracy and the deep state actually run the government. If the bureaucracy and the three letter agencies don't like a particular program, guess what happens?

I find it astonishing that people still believe this is a government of , by and for the people.

I agree generally. The national politicians are basically props only at this point. How else would it be possible to have the two worst imaginable candidates representing both major parties for the upcoming election?

I think Trump is actually the chosen candidate because he quells the problem of having republicans rebel when they roll out CBDCs. He did that for the COVID lockdowns, mask mandates, pcr testing, school closures, etc.

The CIA and DOD definitely seem to actually be running the show at this point. Maybe the FBI too. Who knows who else. It’s not like they are going to tell us names but it’s pretty obvious. Sasha has outlined some of the actual names but it’s hard to remember them because they aren’t the people doing interviews, like Fauci and Walenski.

And those government agencies have teamed up with industries like corporate media and the pharmaceutical industrial complex, so it’s basically a fascist system that we live under now. Nice.

I don’t really have a problem with what Romney was doing with his venture capitalism. To me, as long as the agreements/sales of failing companies are voluntary, it’s not morally wrong. To me, it’s like buying a house that’s condemned and flipping it or tearing it down and developing. It’s sad when someone looses an old house if they didn’t want to, but if they sell it, or if they loose it to a bank because they didn’t pay the rent, it is what it is.

Are there scenarios where the venture capitalist is morally wrong or breaking a law? I’m sure there are. But I’m not against people and businesses entering into voluntary agreements and then doing what they need to in order to make businesses or properties viable/inhabitable. I still think he would have done some good things but we will never know for sure, and that’s probably quite intentional.

I think people still believe our country is run by a government that is by and for the people because the entities in charge are masters at propaganda. It was there before Covid, but wow. On display during the “pandemic”. But people who watch or listen to corporate media are under a spell. And they choose to keep listening/watching so they will just keep going along with whatever they are told. It’s sad but I don’t see a viable solution. Maybe I’m just missing it. I keep looking.

Trump is on record saying absolutely no to CBDC. I'm not against voluntary agreements either.

Trump also spoke out against lockdowns, school closures, masking, etc. Then there was an “emergency”, and he *had* to do all of them. Will this be a repeat pattern if he’s elected again?

He also spoke positively of early treatments but signed Operation Warp Speed, which was a death blow to any chance of early treatments being allowed to be used in the medical industrial complex.

And he was supposedly concerned about the economy but destroyed it by shutting it down and printing massive amounts of money to hand out to almost everyone, including huge corporations, which kickstarted the massive inflation that was seamlessly carried on during the Biden Administration. Biden ramped everything up but Trump got the ball rolling. And he hasn’t spoken out against hardly anything he did. His vaccine has saved “millions”, according to him.

I think he’s probably going to be elected so time will tell what’s in store for the country. I hope I am wrong but we already know how Trump performs during an “emergency” and it’s not good. Whether he genuinely had no idea what he did or whether he was aware and pretended not to be is really not as important as seeing that it did in fact happen.

Trump's recent response to pedo joey SOTU only reinforces your points.

Really great article, "A". Some thoughts ensue: Along with gold, silver, and all precious metals, diamonds are a major part of this racket. The Jewish De beers family owns the diamond mines and has ironclad control over the diamond trade. Most people would be stunned to learn that diamonds are so plentiful on earth you can pave roads with them. They should cost a tiny fraction of their purported value but the De beers clan ruthlessly limits the available supply of them keeping their price artificially high. Everything is fixed and a racket. The problem "they" have with eliminating cash is that there are millions if not billions of dollars in cash stolen and grafted via bribes by corrupt pols, bureaucrats and business executives, squirreled away in various hiding places. What happens if the Controllers make cash worthless or demand it be turned in to exchange for digital currency? It would be chaos unprecedented. As far as having gold and silver coins to use to buy essentials in case of currency collapse and the dollar becoming worthless, just imagine traipsing to the store (their shelves would be empty anyway) to purchase food or whatever else you need, with howling, starving, insane mobs of featherless bipeds everywhere. In short order you'll be torn to pieces as they fight over your flesh and coins. Adolph Hitler and his National Socialist Reich refused to let Germany be, "Crucified on a cross of gold." They issued their own interest free currency commensurate with Germany's industrial, technological, and productive capacity and that nation prospered immediately surpassing all others on earth. They also employed barter with other countries (for example, tons of coal for bushels of wheat) bypassing the usurious Jew banksters. Those are the primary reasons the Tribe unleashed all the other nations of the world to destroy them. Just one week with no internet and the economy loses 50$ billion dollars. You can extrapolate from there.

The amazing thing is that Americans have never figured out that profit is a figment of the imagination. It's an imaginary store of worth. You can never work hard enough or long enough to satisfy the greedy, which could be you too. Scrooge McDuck can count his gold all day, but he can't eat it, any more than Bill Gates can eat that farmland dirt. In the end, it's the food you put in your mouth, and a little toilet paper that make civilization perfect, but not in the city, because that is where they have you under full control. Insanity, thy name is human.

If you want to use metals for everyday barter, I suggest you look into pre-1964 dimes and quarters - they're still around. You can buy some if so inclined. I realise you're not, but it would make more sense than an ounce of silver for a loaf of bread.

Metals have been used as money for a long time. They're mentioned in the bible (quite often). I'm pretty sure Rothschilds, et al weren't controlling them back then. (Though it would be a great conspiracy theory!)

Cheers.

Hope your next installment tells us HOW Roosevelt et al confiscated the precious metals of Americans. Did people have to hide their gold and silver jewelry? Was there a limit allowed or what? Did anyone challenge it? Were jewelers put out of business? What was the argument for confiscation anyway? Like, will the 'authorities' be resurrecting those same arguments soon?

Still found this info depressing and guess one should just put their extra money into vodka or something. It sure seems the Overlords will continue to heap it on us until we'll wait in line impatiently for their euthanasia program.

from what I read a lot of people ignored the order. Only one person was charged. Of course there was a lot more trust in government in those days.

People actually turned their gold in! They actually trusted their government! 😂🤣😂

A bit like look at how many got injected in the past 3 or so yrs, they were fearful and fully trusted the BS that the propaganda machine and govt spewed 24/7 non stop. All the potential of losing their jobs etc and some did. They turned their gold in because it was illegal not to do so. All they need is a few they make an example of and broadcast it and the rest will fall into line.

I’m not “the rest”…and you aren’t either 😉!

They want people to invest in paper gold products. They actively discourage physical buying. Gold is money, everything else is credit.

Here's the deal, in 1933 when they took away the gold standard, the collateral backing money was THE PEOPLE. Yes, the birth certificate. They made trusts behind our backs with that and started selling bonds & securities quite literally from our labor, transactions and more. About that time HJR192 was enacted, which clearly states that in exchange ALL DEBT is to be paid by the United States. That's right, we aren't supposed to be paying utilities, for the house, for the car.... THEY ARE, but they hid the way to do that from us and taught us all BS in school. Good news is, people are now figuring out how to reclaim that money and reverse the national debt. This is something you should write about. It's all in securitization & bond fraud. One phone call with me and 5 minutes will put everything in perspective. USA is not broke. If you want to put their system down or in check, learn this stuff and reclaim your estate properly before their new ways change everything
