There are ’markets’ in just about everything. By a ’market,’ I mean a place where things can be bought and sold. Grocery stores are markets, quite naturally, because all sorts of food-stuffs, drug store items, bits of hardware, etc. are sold in them. ’Markets’ in general, are what makes the world go ’round. Typically, markets […]

Bolivia just ’nationalized’ the entire nation’s gas wells, refineries, and privately owned companies.  The word ’nationalize’ is a euphemism, and means “seize.”  Since gold and silver are going up nicely, isn’t it logical that these tin horn dictators, who have squandered their nations wealth with fancy palaces and untold luxuries for their rulers, would run […]

Who cares?  At least that’s the way I feel.  Just a bunch of savages killing each other, starving each other, dying of disease, and endless copulation and reproduction.  What’s new?  This has been normal in Sub-Sahara Africa for centuries.  Civilized nations decided to civilize, feed, educate, and be nice.  What for?  Nothing has changed, other […]

I’m going to kill you infidel, and I’ll get instant paradise and 72 virgins.  And so it goes with the hundreds of weekly Muslim “suicide bombers” around the world.  Of all the silly nuttiness I have ever heard from any religion, that has to be the most extreme example.  Take any other religion, and you’ll […]

Let’s turn the clock back a couple of hundred years, OK? The Founders wrote a Constitution, which gave government permission to do certain things. It wasn’t a “Ten Commandments” type of document, which prohibited things, by saying “Thou Shalt Not…” It gave the government a few limited powers, and among them was, “To coin Money, […]

I’m sorry he’s dead, and I shot him, but you see, I’m nuts, so you can’t pull that death penalty stuff on me.  I’m going to the funny farm, where I’ll be cared for, fed, recreated, and treated like the king I am…for being crazy.  I’ll never have to work again, have my own private […]

The Constitution is what America is supposed to be ruled by, or at least that has always been my assumption. Two of the most serious departures from our sacred Constitution were committed in 1913.  These two have virtually destroyed our once grand nation, and turned it into a soon to be slave state.  About ten […]

These are the current situations as I see them, and they contradict all the financial ’wise men.’ (1) The Dow close to its previous high, and I think close to a great downward slide. (2) A war is costing $150 million a day in printing press money. (3) Foreign nations are getting rid of dollars […]

Predictions and addictions only rhyme, but are miles apart. ADDICTIONS 99.9% of the world are addicted to their respective paper monies, even though not a damned one of them is any more than a fancy print job. Or is it a con job? With prices zooming upwards, I guess I am getting a bit terse. […]

Most of you readers have never heard of the “interurban lines,” which dotted the country in the early 1900’s. These were high-speed ’trolley’ lines, but which had heavy cars, and ran very fast. They connected, as their very name tells, urban areas. Towns linked by railroads pulled by steam locomotives were not a convenient way […]
