Below is a link to an editorial from 6/1 WSJ written by Stanford Economist John B. Taylor. The article quotes heavily from Freidrich A. Hayek’s “The Road to Serfdom” as well as his lesser known 1960 book “The Constitutiion of Liberty”. In case you missed it….this article is worth the time investment.

In listening to the final segment I thought of the parable in Matthew 7:24-27 which follows. In a world infatuated with secular humanism we exist out of random chance. We supposedly evolved out of a primordial soup. In this setting our houses are built on sand. Below is a chilling link to a newscast from earlier this week in Chicago…the city in which our President community organized….it speaks volumes:

When I look at nature I see the intricacies of intelligent design and the wisdom of a Creator. When we are not here by mere chance…when there is a purpose to it all…… when times get tough you are more likely to find your ‘house’ is sound.”

Matthew 7:24-27
24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

Morning again Dennis M,

I asked God to come into my life close to thirty years ago. Since that time it has become much better although I do stumble more often than I would like. All I can do is to keep trying.

I try very hard to live my life as is written in Matthew 7:24-27.

I am human and sometimes I am not very successful. All I can do is keep trying!

God Bless,

Big Al

Once again Al, another “out of the ballpark” week-end program.

May have to go to the Blaine truck crossing sometime after the 10th to iron out things with Homeland Security if things don’t work out before then. Notwithstanding all the necessary paperwork from Agriculture, they wouldn’t let my daughter bring back a frozen stainless steel container so she could impregnate her mare………………………Our Government at work protecting us all……………………..

Yep, Dai Uy,

Protecting us all!

Big Al

Question to the pros. I’ve probably heard 1000 times to hold physical .i have 1700 oz. Of silver with silversavers which is endorsed by David Morgan and others should I convert to physical and have shipped to me or hold as “paper” I am truly grateful to those who have an opinion

Ann
After God made the universe and ultimately man in the first book of Genesis in the Bible, he mentions gold in the second book of Genesis (and then continues in numerous other locations. Silver is first mentioned here:
Gen_13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Also, the largest banks on the planet and most of the countries on the planet, trade in precious metals (mostly gold) to balance their accounts with one another (not dollars, not rubles, not diamonds, not zinc, etc.).
In the United States, some states have legalized silver/gold as money which can be accepted in retail transactions and exchanges.
Gold is the best to hold, but Silver is more ‘exchangeable’ in day-to-day transactions.
Holding the metal in your hand is usually the best, but some people have a hard time with that for various reasons (space, privacy, protection, etc.).
Nobody can tell you what is best for you to do. You have to decide yourself.
Continue to educate yourself daily, pray daily, give thanks daily and help your fellow man daily as best as you can. You will be OK. You will have nothing to fear.
As for me, if the bankers value precious metals over everything else to settle their accounts and Yahweh has mentioned it enough in the Bible as a valuable thing…..I guess it’s good enough for me.

Wow. Thanks. I will most likely take possession. Probably in eagles even with the 10 percent premium to convert from the spot price to physical

Lower your premium on a portion and you can possess some very effective 100 oz door stops.

I have to give the benefit of the doubt, although it is becoming harder and harder to be an apologist to all the supposed financial market expert assigned to Gold.

Al, you stated you studied Bernanke`s background and agree that more money needs to be poured into the current scam. Yet, you still believe austerity is necessary. So with that in mind, am I to conclude that you agree it is ok to give banks free money and then roll on this private debt to the public as a whole? Because that is exactly what is going on.

Again, Benjamin Franklin, which people on this site obviously have not read or pondered on longer than the time they spent learning about mammon`s high priest in America, Ben Bernanke.

Personally I agree regarding your comments regarding Christianity and your social philosophy. Secular societies including the Canadian variety can easily become less caring by nature for other people at times, and more self obsessed.

This I found evident years ago when I had car trouble in Ontario, where I used to live, and found that no one would pull over to help or aid me with a cell phone when I had car trouble on a highway. That said, it’s my view that when people see things only getting worse, they take the view of “well If this is how it is, I’m going to get mine” and you see a resulting increase in crime and increasing lack of ethics and caring.

Adam Vs The Man

The type of debate people should be smart enough to understand. All this while remaining somewhat courteous to each other.

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. – Psalm 42.7

By the way, first time for me to hear this Adam guy. A very worthy mouthpiece for the libertarian philosophy.

Hi Al, times do look bad for sure, but gold is up at last up again, so that`s a positive. There is a guy I usually talk to every day that`s

ooops, I hit the wrong button again too soon, any way about this guy he`s a really good friend and a WWII vet., he`s been very successful his entire life, 3 years in the pacific during the war, making it out alive, then of to farming for 20 years, then running another type of business for 45 years in another business, but never quite retiring, been a Republican his entire life, a very good person, but not saved ie. born-again I`m working on him, the Holy Spirit too. He just hopes he will make it through the hard times that we are in as a country. He has guns too, but for hunting only. He`s quite diversified, but most of his stocks are only very small in dividends as to a return except for a few that were very speculative and all in all on an average his total return is about 5% given this market, which I think he`s very lucky. He`s a gray fox when it comes to money at 88 years young.

I find it interesting on how all the mainstream pretty and not-so-pretty faces have all gone negative in unison. Friday and suprisingly tonight a positive outlook could not even been pulled from Steve Liarman Liesman. A curious observation?
SteveO has not been this negative since Obama took office.
Could we be setting up for a low followed by a rally into Dem Convention and Fall election?
Or have the wheels come off and we are now in punditry face saving mode?
I think the manipulators have wound up in the deep end of a derivative unwind and are flailing for a financial life jacket,

BIG AL

ADVISING HOLDING PHYSICAL GOLD & SILVER AND ANNOUNCING TO THE WORLD THAT YOU HAVE NO GUNS IN YOUR HOME. NOT TOO SMART IN MY OPINION.

lmao
