Well, the FBI, like all other bureaucracies, has proven itself to be virtually worthless, as a recent 13 page memo from an agent has shown. No one paid attention to the pleadings of a small underling, who had much to say about the possibilities of disaster. The memo got shuffled, transferred and ignored by endless minions, and the World Trade Centers and thousands of innocents no longer exist. The federal government, for just last year alone, cannot account for over $1.3 TRILLION in expenditures. Now they admit that they cannot possibly stop terrorists from entering America, as the INS is worthless. The “intelligence” (sic) agencies, and there are more than just the CIA and FBI, as there are countless other agencies and bureaucracies; eat dollars, and do nothing more useful than occupy space, write gibberish, and consume tons of paper. Guess what the solution to the FBI’s foul up is? That’s correct maestro; hire hundreds more agents, that no one will pay attention to, and of course spend additional billions for more garbage computer programs that won’t talk to each other, and gimcracks that don’t work.
With each news broadcast, and each issue of a newspaper, we see sure signs of a decaying nation. The buck is sliding, as is the stock market, while gold and silver rise. The persiflage and pusilanimous CYA behavior continue unabated. It’s always the other guy’s fault, or, “how were we supposed to know?” Merrill Lynch has been fined $100 million, and other firms are in line. Government grows like Topsy, and spends, spends, spends. Our liberties are being removed, as the “war on terrorism” continues, with no identifiable enemy, while we spend $2 billion a week in Afghanistan, killing thousands of innocents, and accomplishing nothing except arousing the animosity of the entire Muslim world. I’m no Muslim, and think it’s a bunch of malarkey, but then, I don’t have much truck with a lot of religions, such as the snake handlers, for instance. We wouldn’t want Muslims occupying New Hampshire or North Carolina, as they don’t belong there, and it is our country. Well, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Georgia aren’t ours either, so what right do we have to be there? Look at from their point of view. If they consider their land to be “holy,” why should we be there, defying their absurd religion? What business is it of ours? We are literally spending and invading ourselves into the grave. Why cannot we stop following every other nation in recorded history, who invariably have run governments up in size till they became like ours is now, currency down, till they lose value, like the dollar has become, invaded other’s spaces, like we do with alarming regularity, and eventually failed miserably as a nation. Why cannot we stop this madness?
As my next piece on Gold Eagle says, we have to put faith in tangible things, not empty promises, or pieces of paper with ink on them that have no backing, track record, history, or worthwhile assurances of viability. Now the big guys who have shorts on gold (which are in deep dodo) are saying that gold will drop. They have to CYA, or hope so anyway. They’re trying to manipulate the market as they have always done…to save themselves. Don’t believe it! Gold is in huge demand, and supply is limited. Governments have sold thousands of tons at huge losses, and won’t do it again. I believe gold’s future, as well as silver’s, is extremely bright. No one knows what will happen tomorrow, of course, but we just need to look at the facts, and they are that the dollar is sliding, as are other currencies, stock markets, bonds, and every other paper instrument. Gold and silver are self backed and owe nothing to anyone. They have been money for thousands of years, as thousands of currencies, millions and billions of stocks and bonds have become worthless, and entire world powers have ceased to exist. All this time, gold and silver have prevailed. Have a great weekend!
