I chatted briefly with a United pilot in Chicago (ORD); he was wearing a blue mask.

Easily the most arrogant SOB I’ve ever met, declaring he would personally/physically enforce the mask mandate because it was. federal law.

I suggested he ask his Congressman if there was/is such a law.

Mandates are NOT laws!

(The truth made no difference to this idiot;

I suspect he is one of the many now on medical leave with recurring blood clots)

Pretty much like a crushed can.

I suspect there will be a precipitous drop in the value of gold.

I bought gold jewelry for family in Asia at $32/oz in 1970-71.

It won’t get that low again, but it will likely drop by 50%.

The Vatican has been collecting golf or 1,000 years or so, mostly in the form of jewelry. But, it can be measured in tonnage

(The Vatican doesn’t need it since the pope and college of cardinals have been eliminated. Bishops will be next.)

Essentially, gold has already become the “coin of the realm” outside the U.S.;

And we have a mountain full of it now to back our next currency.

There is no need to demean the price of old by too much.

We can follow the pattern of DeBeers after the Soviets started making perfect diamonds using atomic powered pressure and selling them at rock bottom prices.

The deal they cut was that manufactured diamonds had to be called
“Diamond-like or Near diamonds”
Thus keeping the value of jewelry diamonds intact.
(None-the-less, manufactured diamonds are perfect)

ou may have forgotten the Cold War, but not the Hunt for Red October

The race was on to vreate subs which had no signature - thus the Red October which could operatenear the ocean floor, undetected by any technology at that time.

That was eons ago;

Since then, the Navy has implanted sensors throughouy the ocean floor

Gold has maintained its value for centuries, and will continue to do so.
But, supply/demand remains a factor (as with diamonds)

Perception is the key.

Keep in mind that it is a key component of space craft, and our ET visitors need it as well; so, as demand increases, so does the value.

So, #Tore is correct in her comment that gold will increase in the long run.

Stepping back in time
- before 9/11, here’s an interview with an engineer who explains why it would be impossible for a plane flying into the WTC to damage it.

Following 9/11, many top engineers echoed these comments, but were silenced by Bush’s thugs who threatened the engineers and their families!

At time 2:03 seconds of the video, the engineer of the Twin Towers, approximately 20 years before the event of 9/11, states that if a plane crashes into the Twin Towers, it cannot do any damage because it has a structure that can withstand 13 thousand tons , while the plane weighs thousands time less‼️

Join us now: Before Our Time📜

Many years ago, I published analyses of the heat created by burning jet fuel, which revealed that it would not have significantly damaged the steel beams. The melting point of steel is well beyond that of jet fuel.

Secondly, had there been jet fuel, it would have flowed down stairwells and elevator shafts, covering those inside - which didn’t happen.

Oddly, in the midst of the massive burning, all the paperwork survived intact, to include the passports of the “terrorists”.

Lots of other anomalies.

Contrary to the illusion that the FBI consists of skilled accountants and lawyers, the reality is that [like the CIA] most of the agents are former street cops , highway patrol, DEA, or ATF making liaison and information exchanges quite simple. They treat recruited sources like police 'snitches" - thus routinely blowing undercover operations

FBI "analysis", unlike what's portrayed on TV, is virtually non-existent, replaced by a bunch of yahoos wearing armored vests, bursting into the homes of outspoken political commentators or "whistle-blowers" or bloggers.

The best and smartest agents were in their "counter-intelligence" division; they were professionals; the rest, not-so-much.
That changed when Comey imported 100 analysts from NSA into the CI Analysis section so they could by-pass FISA and legal restrictions with a simple phone call from one FBI-NSA imported analyste to another still at NSA - for a "conversation".

We [DCS] were required, by law, to notify them [and DOJ] when our operations extended into the US, so I had a team whose mission was to keep them up to date on our ops, without specific details on the where-abouts of a meeting location or the source. I had an open door to the Assistant Attorney General who I routinely briefed.

However, based on their gang-busters ops, with flashing lights, sirens, and truckloads of armed agens brandishing pistols and automatic weapons, we rarely conducted joint debriefing ops with them.

[But, that was my impression from long ago, in another era]

At this point, the FBI [and CIA] can be considered to be completely politicized/weaponized - but more insider whistle-blowers are now stepping up and outing the criminal hierarchy.

Your analysis is correct, and supports #Tore's assessment.

Like diamonds, gold is established as "Coin of the Realm", so supported prices will continue to increase, for now.

My view is based on usnsupported pricing [so, I'm not selling off my gold reserves in fear of a sudden price drop].

I go back to the diamond example.

The Russkies developed a mechanical pressure process about 20+ years ago to create industrial diamonds which which were inexpensive, but necessary for cutting extremely hard materials [e.g., steel]. Their interest, at that time, was industrial, rather than direct profit. A friend of mine returned from Russia with a pocket full of these "rough" diamonds, which she took to a jeweler who paid her handsomely for these otherwise perfect diamonds - indistinguishable from regular "mined" diamonds.

It didn't take long for De Beers to cut a deal with the Russkies to keep them from marketing their perfect] industrial diamonds.
In fact, De Beers now markets their diamonds with "tiny 'engraved' serial numbers" to keep their brand intact, and discount "artificial" diamonds. So, De Beers diamonds did not lose their value.

The US Gold Reserve (transferred from Ft Knox), was stolen by the Bush/Mossad cabal during 9/11, but was recovered by Trump's SpeOps troops, who, along the way, recovered the Libyan gold stolen by Hillary during the Benghazi distraction.
The most recent recovery was the gold removed from the centuries old storage in the huge Vatican tunnels.

That's not to say that there will be a direct erosion of the value of gold, even given the known existence of this massive horde, instead, the world gold supply will simply be measured in "available" gold, supply will not be overwhelmed by demand.

It will instead be used to support national currencies in the US and the rest of the world
- just as it was prior to the the series of steps following the Wm Jennings Bryan "Cross of Gold" condemnation in 1896

1) Assault on the 1870s international Gold Standard after gold mining significantly increased the supply
2) the 1913 formation of the "centralized banking system" known as the Federal Reserve System.
3) FDR outlawed the "ownership" of gold in 1933,
4) The 1944 Breton Woods Agreement temporarily blocked the attacks on gold [then pegged at $35/oz] to support the
stability of national currencies backed by gold.
5) Nixon's "unpegging" of gold in 1971 to eliminate the gold standard,
6) which converted the US currency to the Federal Reserve Notes - essentially, worthless Fiat currency, backed by nothing.

The price of Gold, in turn, zoomed from $35/oz to the recent levels around $2,000/oz.

Now, I've over-simplified a century of financial history, but, the idea is that gold will return to support the US dollar
[replacing the Federal Reserve Note with US Treasury Gold Certificate currency - backed by gold).

I suggest that the price of gold (like the price of diamonds) will remain stable for quite a while, but, will eventually
[but not tomorrow] subside.
