The punishment of liars is that they cannot believe anyone else. -Anonymous
Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
The God-Given Task
What gain has the worker from his toil? I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man.
I perceived that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before him. That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.
From Dust to Dust
Moreover, I saw under the sun that in the place of justice, even there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness. I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time for every matter and for every work. I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts. For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity. All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return. Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the earth? So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his work, for that is his lot. Who can bring him to see what will be after him?
Qoèlet 3, 1-22
C’è un tempo per ogni cosa
Per ogni cosa c'è il suo momento, il suo tempo per ogni faccenda sotto il cielo.
C'è un tempo per nascere e un tempo per morire,
un tempo per piantare e un tempo per sradicare le piante.
Un tempo per uccidere e un tempo per guarire,
un tempo per demolire e un tempo per costruire.
Un tempo per piangere e un tempo per ridere,
un tempo per gemere e un tempo per ballare.
Un tempo per gettare sassi e un tempo per raccoglierli,
un tempo per abbracciare e un tempo per astenersi dagli abbracci.
Un tempo per cercare e un tempo per perdere,
un tempo per serbare e un tempo per buttar via.
Un tempo per stracciare e un tempo per cucire,
un tempo per tacere e un tempo per parlare.
Un tempo per amare e un tempo per odiare,
un tempo per la guerra e un tempo per la pace.
Che vantaggio ha chi si dà da fare con fatica?
Ho considerato l'occupazione che Dio ha dato agli uomini, perché si occupino in essa. Egli ha fatto bella ogni cosa a suo tempo, ma egli ha messo la nozione dell'eternità nel loro cuore, senza però che gli uomini possano capire l'opera compiuta da Dio dal principio alla fine. Ho concluso che non c'è nulla di meglio per essi, che godere e agire bene nella loro vita; ma che un uomo mangi, beva e goda del suo lavoro è un dono di Dio. Riconosco che qualunque cosa Dio fa è immutabile; non c'è nulla da aggiungere, nulla da togliere. Dio agisce così perché si abbia timore di lui. Ciò che è, già è stato; ciò che sarà, già è; Dio ricerca ciò che è già passato.
Ma ho anche notato che sotto il sole al posto del diritto c'è l'iniquità e al posto della giustizia c'è l'empietà. Ho pensato: Dio giudicherà il giusto e l'empio, perché c'è un tempo per ogni cosa e per ogni azione. Poi riguardo ai figli dell'uomo mi son detto: Dio vuol provarli e mostrare che essi di per sé sono come bestie. Infatti la sorte degli uomini e quella delle bestie è la stessa; come muoiono queste muoiono quelli; c'è un solo soffio vitale per tutti. Non esiste superiorità dell'uomo rispetto alle bestie, perché tutto è vanità. Tutti sono diretti verso la medesima dimora:
tutto è venuto dalla polvere
e tutto ritorna nella polvere.
Chi sa se il soffio vitale dell'uomo salga in alto e se quello della bestia scenda in basso nella terra? Mi sono accorto che nulla c'è di meglio per l'uomo che godere delle sue opere, perché questa è la sua sorte. Chi potrà infatti condurlo a vedere ciò che avverrà dopo di lui?

Bill’s Commentary:
Recently I have fielded several e-mails asking about selling gold and silver to wait for a pullback. While a pullback seems surely warranted, there is huge risk in trying to trade at this juncture. We are in the end game already, what is happening is multigenerational and global. We are witnessing the end of Dollar dominance with a fiat “competitive” devaluation across the board. We are witnessing end of empire! The danger of being cute and trying to time a trade here is enormous. You must be “in place” when the music stops, which it mathematically will. If you have taken profit and intend to trade, what happens if (when) the system breaks and gold nor silver are even available for purchase? Your “profit” will be sitting in a bank/broker, and will be bailed in. So you lose your cash and sold someone else your ounces? THIS is the rally you cannot afford to sell. You presumably bought metal to get your capital out of the system, if you purchased to make “dollars” as profit, then this brief article is not for you. Please remember this, in a very short time, you will be counting your net worth in ounces, not dollars.

Nearly every Bitcoin commentator said the new HK Bitcoin ETFs would usher in hundreds of millions in inflows from institutions on Day 1.
This was a complete failure, and they’re trying to sweep it under the rug now. The 6 ETFs, got on average $1.8 million each…
That is the worst performing ETF launch in history. Not a good look, hence why prices are tanking…
JUST IN: CRYPTO MARKETS DROP AFTER HONG KONG BITCOIN ETF RECORDS LOW DEMAND.
The 6 Hong Kong ETFs drastically missed market expectations on the first day of trading, with a combined trading volume of only $11 million, a tiny fraction of the $125 million many expected.
Exactly as predicted. 🐳
The narrative of “institutional demand” is simply made-up and non existent.
Few will admit this, but the entire rise of BTC over the last few months has been caused by Tether injecting record amounts of fake money into the markets. @whalewire

 '...This was predictable from day-1 back in 1971 when we got rid of the last vestiges of the gold-standard. Governments, institutions, and individuals are drowning in debt. This debt-based system is destroying the financial system and even the moral fabric of society as bankruptcy and debt cancellation become the only options...'
A monetary reset is imminent, with central banks and unprecedented debt levels causing seismic shifts in the global markets and potentially leading to devastating inflation.
A monetary reset is on the horizon, with ripple effects from the debt crisis affecting various aspects of the global economy.
The implications of unprecedented debt levels affect the risk asset markets.
The evidence is all around us, with central banks, oil trade, and dollarization impacting the global markets in real time.
Seismic shifts are already occurring in currency and debt markets due to the central banks dumping US treasuries and stacking Physical Gold since 2014.
Central banks dumping US treasuries and stacking Physical Gold at record levels indicate massive changes in the global markets.
The federal deficit level is currently at negative – 6.1% of the national GDP, the highest since World War II.
The FED stepped in and took away free Price Discovery completely to support the bond market, effectively centralizing capitalism.
The use of modern monetary theory to prevent market recessions may lead to a debased currency and devastating inflation, resulting in comical real returns.

When a military operation results in the deaths of 210 civilians and 400 wounded to free four captives, it starkly reveals the atrocity and disregard for civilian life inherent in such actions. This massacre can be described in several ways, each emphasising the severe implications:
War Crime or Atrocity
The operation, which led to the deaths of 210 civilians, could be classified as a "war crime" or "atrocity." The deliberate or negligent targeting of civilians contravenes international humanitarian law, warranting legal scrutiny and accountability. Such actions underline a blatant disregard for the sanctity of civilian lives and raise serious questions about the legality and morality of the operation.
Tragic Success
From a strictly operational standpoint, the mission's primary objective of freeing the captives was achieved, making it a "success." However, the staggering civilian death toll overshadows this success, transforming it into a tragic and morally indefensible outcome. The loss of civilian lives not only questions the operation's planning and execution but also its adherence to humanitarian principles.
Humanitarian Disaster
This operation can also be seen as a "humanitarian disaster." The overwhelming civilian casualties highlight a failure to protect non-combatants, a fundamental principle of international humanitarian law. The sheer scale of civilian loss underscores the moral and ethical bankruptcy of the operation, emphasising the negligible value placed on civilian lives.
Strategic Miscalculation
In terms of broader implications, the high civilian death toll may lead to significant political, social, and strategic fallout, classifying the operation as a "strategic miscalculation." The potential backlash, increased hostility, and loss of international support could far outweigh the immediate tactical gains, demonstrating a profound misjudgment in the operation's execution.
Public Relations Nightmare
From a world public perception perspective, the operation is a "public relations nightmare." An honest media and public focus on the massive civilian casualties would likely overshadow the freeing of the captives, leading to widespread condemnation and damaging the reputation of the involved military and political entities.

In this compelling conversation with Tom Bodrovics of Palisades Gold, VON GREYERZ partner, Matthew Piepenburg, bluntly dissects the empirical realities from the main stream fantasies regarding the risk-asset and economic narratives making the current headlines. He touches upon risk asset facts, the deep implications of debt-to-GDP levels globally, the real rather than sensational consequences of ongoing de-dollarization and the now undeniable fact that gold is replacing the UST as a global reserve asset.
The conversation opens with a candid assessment of the common denominator (and common sense) reality of unsustainable debt and its now obvious ripple effects on all the current narratives and debates regarding stocks, bonds, currencies, deflation/inflation and sound vs. fiat money, all of which culminate in a realistic and sober discussion of gold.
As Piepenburg reminds, the outsized risks in credit and equity markets (from scary “private credit pools” and “low-yield” junk bonds to dangerously narrow/tech-meme-driven stock indexes) can no longer be relegated to the cynicism of “gold bug” thinking, as even the finest minds in the stock and bond markets are drawing the same clear conclusions.
Piepenburg makes an equally blunt case for the risks facing paper money in a global backdrop of open currency debasement. He shares his views on how even the “smartest money” in the room continues to deny or avoid these realities by measuring their wealth in currencies (melting like ice cubes) and chasing yield in increasingly more dangerous corners of the credit and equity markets.
Toward this end, Piepenburg gives his views on family office dynamics and allocations derived from direct managerial experience and a host of recent conversations around the world with many principals in this space. Their relatively low allocations to physical gold in a world otherwise replete with debt, risk-asset and currency risk is fascinating yet otherwise understandable given how fundamentally misunderstood gold remains as an asset class.
Piepenburg holds nothing back in explaining just how and why gold is in fact intentionally misunderstood by many of the most sophisticated investors.

'...The economic indicators speak of nothing less than an economic catastrophe. Over 46,000 businesses have gone bankrupt, tourism has stopped, Israel’s credit rating was lowered, Israeli bonds are sold at the prices of almost “junk bonds” levels, and the foreign investments that have already dropped by 60% in the first quarter of 2023 (as a result of the policies of Israel’s far-right government before October 7) show no prospects of recovery. The majority of the money invested in Israeli investment funds was diverted to investments abroad because Israelis do not want their own pension funds and insurance funds or their own savings to be tied to the fate of the State of Israel. This has caused a surprising stability in the Israeli stock market because funds invested in foreign stocks and bonds generated profit in foreign currency, which was multiplied by the rise in the exchange rate between foreign currencies and the Israeli Shekel. But then Intel scuttled a $25 billion investment plan in Israel, the biggest BDS victory ever. These are all financial indicators. But the crisis strikes deeper at the means of production of the Israeli economy. Israel’s power grid, which has largely switched to natural gas, still depends on coal to supply demand. The biggest supplier of coal to Israel is Colombia, which announced that it would suspend coal shipments to Israel as long as the genocide was ongoing. After Colombia, the next two biggest suppliers are South Africa and Russia. Without reliable and continuous electricity, Israel will no longer be able to pretend to be a developed economy. Server farms do not work without 24-hour power, and no one knows how many blackouts the Israeli high-tech sector could potentially survive. International tech companies have already started closing their branches in Israel...' The end of Israel’s economy

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki is now dead, after not just taking multiple jabs and getting cancer herself, but after erecting a monstrous, pharma-compliant CENSORSHIP COMPLEX that silenced anyone who told the truth about vaccines or cancer. It was Wojcicki who lead the charge against censoring people like myself, and lifesaving organizations like The Truth About Cancer. In effect, Wojcicki created the very conditions that lead to her own death by silencing those who warned that COVID jabs are deadly and can cause "turbo cancers" in some people. Notably, Wojcicki also pushed the climate death cult as well as the vaccine death cult. We should not be surprised when those who push death are consumed by it themselves. Although we are deeply saddened by it. Through her censorship zealotry, Wojcicki contributed to the deaths of many millions of people around the world. Her influence on this world, in my opinion, was incredibly destructive and evil. It's too bad she could not be saved (red-pilled) before she was consumed by her own destructive ways. Condolences to her surviving family members. May her own death be a reminder to the rest of the world to recognize the importance of freedom of speech and the cost in real lives when #censorship silences truth. -Health Ranger

Silver can solve major global problems such as wars, debt crises, inflation, recession, and crime by implementing a constrained monetary system and reducing the incentive for war.
The importance of silver in addressing global challenges is a thought-provoking concept that challenges traditional solutions.
Silver is claimed to solve five of the world’s biggest problems: Wars, debt crisis, inflation, recession, and crime.
Only a select few really benefit from wars, while the mass government spending and debt financing have long-term negative effects on the economy.
The US economy is facing a recession despite claims of strength, with inflation rates potentially much higher than reported.
The massive increase in money supply in the past two or three years has led to a 40-year high in inflation, causing unprecedented volatility in the economy.
Canada is now the car theft capital of the world, with a car being stolen every five minutes.
Silver eliminates Wars because printed money finances them.

Massive Unrest in 2024 No Matter Who Wins – Bill Holter
 Massive Unrest in 2024 No Matter Who Wins- Bill Holter 
Precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter says there is a long list of financial trouble coming to America sooner than later. There is the commercial real estate implosion, rising interest rates, an exploding federal budget, banana republic political problems, but the at the top of the list is the monster unpayable debt problem and the soon-to-be failing U.S. dollar. Holter says, “You can’t have a third of the federal taxes paid out in interest, and that number is only going to grow over time...If the markets would not collapse ahead of time, which they certainly will, but if they did not, we would get to the point where the interest would eat up all the tax receipts. That is a mathematical impossibility. We’re broke. On the other side of it, we have two rules of law. We have one rule of law if you are a liar from the left and another rule of law if you are a conservative and you don’t support the bull crap rules they are putting out there...This is an illustration that this country has already become a banana republic. The problem with that is the dollar issued by this country is the world’s reserve currency. It’s a huge problem.”
Holter says the dollar is going to take a big hit in the next financial crisis that has already started. When it hits, Holter predicts, “The actual bottom line is dollars are just pieces of paper backed by our government. The dollar is backed by the full faith and credit of a bankrupt insolvent government, and people will figure that out very quickly. When it comes to survival, people are not going to give up something real for nothing...We are in the weeds right now because of interest rates...look at mortgage rates, they are well over 7% for a 30-year mortgage. So, that’s going to hurt housing. Commercial real estate has already been destroyed...I think we are in the weeds because interest rates are at a point that nothing can be refinanced and rolled over.”
In closing, Holter says, “This is not my opinion, it’s a mathematical equation. The debt cannot be paid back. It’s not possible. We will default one way or another. We will print the crap out of the dollar and devalue it, or outright nonpayment.”
Holter predicted years ago we would end up in a “Mad Max” scenario when credit dries up and store shelves empty. Holter contends that credit is drying up with the money supply shrinking for eight straight months.
