Spot on At', What you say is so blindingly obvious to me (and to you too, presumably!), but it appears we're in a minority in this country and possibly throughout the west. Why aren't any politicians or MSM outlets voicing this eminently sensible and pragmatic view? Given that just about...

"It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal". Henry Kissinger

. . . That's why I rely on alternative media, as one gets a much more balanced picture. There are still biased views of course, but one usually knows about the person expressing them and where they're coming from. For example, someone I like is Yanis Varoufakis - the economist and former Greek...

The two week ceasefire is a welcome development for everyone in as much as it postpones Trump's apocolyptic threat to take Iran back to the Stone Ages. But it's just kicking the can down the road and cynics like me will argue that it merely buys time for the Trump administration to formulate a...

Excellent interview with Scott Ritter by Judge Nap' on his Judging Freedom YT channel in which Ritter disects the mission to rescue the second pilot of the downed F15 jet. There's been lots of speculation about this and whether or not there was a botched plan to extract the enriched uranium that...

Another excellent interview by Prof. Genn Diesen with former U.S. Amb. Chas Freeman. The major problem in the west is that there are no statesmen or women with the intellectual calibre and imagination needed to see beyond adversarial politics. Anyone with half a brain can see that what's needed...

I think you're being generous to Starmer, At'! Starmer's not 'staying out' in my book. Staying out means doing what Spain has done and having absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the war. Instead, he's sent HMS Drag-on to the region - which endangers British lives rather than protects them...

Excellent post At' and I agree with everything you say apart from the two points, quoted above. Firstly, NATO was a defensive alliance formed following the cold war. Once the Berlin wall came down and the former soviet union was dismantled, NATO was redundant. I'll criticise Trump until I'm...

Hi At', Just watched this interview on Glenn Diesen's YT channel and immediately thought of you - as your focus is often on big picture economics and how it impacts the world order. I think you'll be interested in what Prof. Michael Hudson has to say. Enjoy . . .

Below is a YouTube vid' from 'Bald Guy Money' in which he talks about the decoupling of precious metals from stocks and oil and gives his forecasts for possible future gold and silver prices. Pure speculation on his part of course, but the funnymentals - along with his logic - form a cohesive...

I'm gonna make the call here and say go long gold. Last week's price action produced an impressive 'pin bar', indicating a lot of buying coming into the market to support price. Is Monday's low set in stone never to be breached? No, absolutely not. But the pattern of gold price falling when...

The interview below with Stanislav Krapivnik by 'The Duran' is really alarming. He's just one person, but he's an expert in the oil and gas industry, so his opinion warrants serious consideration, IMO. In a nutshell, he's saying we're akin to the scene in the film 'Titanic' when the ship has...

Hi hinom, First off: a warning! Much like trading, you're knocking on a door (precious metals) which, once opened, will suck you in and your life will never be the same again. Just sayin! ;-) Are there specific coins, bars, or ETFs that are recommended for beginners? You need to understand the...
