Great, based financial page with interesting financial and political commentary and news.
A moment ago, the Kitco banner in the upper-right of the page showed silver at $23.46.
So sorry you had that experience and lost a job you were clearly looking forward to.
Lawsuits by those who were fired for not taking the Poison Death Shot are doing well, though, so perhaps something good can come from it.
That's a powerful and very relevant drop, Oldpatriot.
I've always thought PUBLIC OUTRAGE would, as Q says, be a major force in putting an end to the Cabal. People -- including elected officials -- leaving the Dem party are the tip of the iceberg, or the start of the avalanche if you prefer.
Popular network crime shows (like The Closer and Major Crimes) of just a few years ago portrayed child molesting as a serious and despicable crime, with the police as well as parents and neighbors horrified by it. I'm convinced the vast majority of Americans AND people around the world feel the same way.
Given the many depraved and often gruesome crimes against children committed by Satanists and many in the Cabal, I don't think we have too much further to go before the dam breaks. Rising knowledge of the "vax" genocide and of the WEF's other government-enabled efforts at mass murder and destruction will make it all the harder for people to suppress knowledge of what the Cabal has been doing to children; a group trying to murder everyone you love and to destroy everything good in the world is clearly not beyond targeting and harming children.
The (relatively) few non-bot lefty activists on Twitter are maybe also getting a sense that shilling for child rape and other horrors is not a good look. Also, possibly not a safe one, legal-wise.
They've been accustomed to not only getting a free pass for supporting and promoting evil but actually being praised for doing so. Now, the emerging rays of sanity and justice are giving them premonitions of what's to come.
AI has, to a large extent, the characteristics of the left hemisphere of the human brain. There are major differences between the left and right hemispheres, to the point where neuroscience researcher Iain McGilchrist says
The hemispheres have different answers to the fundamental question 'what is knowledge?' -- The Master and His Emissary, p. 135 (Chapter 4)
. . . the main point of hemisphere difference (is) division versus cohesion. IBID, p. 140
. . . context [the right hemisphere's domain] implies change and process. ibid, p. 141
The left hemisphere is not impressed by empathy: its concern is with maximising gain for itself, and its driving value is utility. ibid, p. 145
Furthermore (bold mine),
It [the left hemisphere] is not reasonable. It is angry when challenged, dismisses evidence it doesn't like or can't understand, and is unreasonably sure of its own rightness. It is not good at understanding the world. Its attention is narrow, its vision myopic, and it can't see how the parts fit together. It is good for only one thing - manipulating the world. Its world is a representation, a virtual world, only. It neglects the incarnate nature of human beings, reducing them to the equivalent of brains in a vat. It reduces the living to the mechanical. It prioritises the procedure, without a grasp of its meaning or purpose. And it requires certainty where none can be found. The Divided Brain and the Search for Meaning, pp. 31- 32
The left hemisphere tells us that the quest for meaning is meaningless, because it is not equipped to deal in meaning or understanding, but manipulating and processing. ibid, p. 33
Meaning emerges from engagement with the world, not from abstract contemplation of it. ibid, p. 36
People who seek power just for the sake of power should be as far away from it as possible. End the system.
YES! Destroy the Ring of Power! Tolkien had it completely right: the unbridled Power to coerce others is hellishly addictive and corrupting. It attracts sociopaths and psychopaths, and corrupts the innocent to further its own ends. Civil society is the ONLY cure for the slavery created and enforced by Power.
From Peter Jackson's film version of Lord of the Rings:
(Frodo, desperately handing the Ring to Gandalf)
- Take it, Gandalf. Take it!
(Gandalf, backing away from the Ring)
- No, Frodo.
(Frodo)
- You must take it!
(Gandalf)
- You cannot offer me this Ring.
(Frodo)
- I'm giving it to you!
(Gandalf)
- Don't tempt me, Frodo! I dare not take it, not even to keep it safe. Understand, Frodo – I would use this Ring from a desire to do good . . . [long pause] . . . but through me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine.
I love it! So gloriously politically incorrect; on most other platforms, the reactions would be hugely entertaining. Best of all, you could be on to something.
One way or another, the avalanche has passed the tipping point and is growing faster every day.
Probably not the same, in that an electronic device is reading the ID magstrip and storing the data instead just a clerk looking at your DL and then handing it back to you, with no data storage other than the clerk's short-term memory. I'm guessing the electronic device's memory is downloaded to a central location so the state or country Alcohol Enforcement Entity (or whatever) can verify that the store is in compliance . . . and probably pass the data along to the Social Credit system that Apple, Oracle, and a zillion other big companies are getting paid big money to create and maintain.
Some of what Elon has already released about Twitter hiding news (at the request or urging of others) that would be damaging to Biden's campaign IS INSIDE THE CONSPIRACY. A "conspiracy" can be as small as two people and there is no upper limit on size.
But I'm sure more glaring examples exist (the famous Time Magazine piece about "fortifying" the election practically boasts of them) and I believe we'll be seeing a number of those emerge soon also. Whole lotta election fraud and related crimes were goin' on around election time back then.
In a civil society, policing is -- like everything else -- voluntarily funded.
