Radio silence. With the millions of news items documenting the latest death rates, would you not imagine there would be some small discussion here and there on what the worldwide lockdowns are doing to tax bases? You know, that little thingy which provides the income which authorities require to rule over us all, provide a …
get your covidy hands off my mcfries!
We all know the costs of the coronaclypse well enough by now. So what are the hidden benefits we may glean from this alleged pandemic? At least, perhaps we can add a few items to our future vocabularies, if that is not asking too much? And it is along this line in which I feel …
balance o’ power y’all
The despicable Mao Tse Tung, who killed tens of millions of his own people during peacetimes is quoted as having said, "political power comes from the barrel of a gun". He understood how this works. And today, what do we have but a certain class of politicians who are quite eager to wrest our firearms …
the suits that be
The suits that be have decided, based on some sort of self-assessed entitlement, that they alone have the intellect necessary to guide the brainwashed masses through the latest media-induced panic-orgy and have succeeded this time in doing the impossible: namely the shuttering of the vast majority of small and medium-sized businesses all over the planet …

the shimmering
Oh shimmering lark vomit, Batman! it's a panic-demic! Yesterday I overcame my soul-gripping fear and made a delivery to the hub of death: that great city of death, whitehorse yukon, population: about 30k. And here is what I found: First strange observation came about 30 minutes short of town. I passed a large loader coming …

Look at the giant enormous ginormous egantic BIG YUGE NUMBERS i just printed on this PAPER!! Are you not suitably IMPRESSED? Looking at physical vs paper (spot) in the gold and silver stores, it's pretty obvious a paradigm shift is occurring as some are discovering the difference between real and paper assets.
