Dear guys, thanks so much for discussing my comment on faith in the government.

I have been a bit contentious with some of my comments on various issues, probably because I am disgruntled ex-goldbug/silverbug who sees the old 2000s gold and silver bull markets at an end but still doesn’t quite understand why they have ended.

It was nice to hear your well reasoned discussion as always. I really think you have got a great balance of content and opinion on the show right now.

I was woken up a little by what ManAboutDallas had said about the loss of faith in government could happen very suddenly in the right circulstances but I wonder if the right circumstances could be so bad that they don’t bear thinking about.

I suppose one possibility could be the collapse of the currency system as von Mises has written and many others have put forward as an end game in this government run debt mess.

I somehow doubt that the US dollar can collapse before a whole load of other ‘lesser’ currencies have collapsed first, the USD being the senior reserve currency and that in which so much debt is written, it should be more prone to deflation than the others if the debt collapses.

I still tend to think thatr thepeopleofthe West mostly worship government as a false gold, the great provider of everything from cradle to grave and although there is dissent it is not meaningful dissent, just chatter really. The psychology I fell is still ultra pro-government,

ie any dissent is usually in the terms “The government is not doing enough about this and that to help us” rather than the government is the problem that needs to get out of the way of freedom in markets and human actions. I am writing up 2 examples of this,just small ones from recent months.

First example:

Recently in the UK we had the giat scandal and police investigation Operation Yew Tree about the now dead pervert BBC presenter/DJ Jimmy Saville and a couple of others who are still alive and have been convicted and put in jail, decades after their crimes.

one might have thought that there would be a huge furore abnout this and the public would call for the disbanding of this evil government sponsored organisation which is funded from compulsory licence payemtns from anyone who owns a television, totally outdated and redundant in an era of 1000s of private channels and the internet.

But no. The government is going to move to punish and harass even harder anyone who does not pay their TV licence fee, so we know whose side the government is on.

The BBC should be immediately privatised and subjected to the free market. there is no justification in any sense for any kind of subsidy for TV, which is old tech.

However, there is only rumblings of dissent and no meaningful demand for this organisation to be cut loose from public funding.

Second example:

I was coming home in my car and heard the BBC radio programme ‘Any Questions’ a kind of politicval audience question talking ship show,

They were discussing new food labelling regulations to make nutritional and other info clearer and more comprehensive, as if there isn’t already enough data splattered all over the back of every little tiny block of cheese in tiny writing.

They had a straw poll of the audience about who wants more food regulation. About 70% put their hands up to say Yes.

Can you imagine how pathetic this is? I worked in the food industry for a couple of companies and it is already paralysed by over regulation and yet these jerks in the audiuence were calling for more, as if any of them would read all theinfo on food packages already! You would be spending all day in the supermarket with a magnifying glass to read it all!

I just _groaned_ when I heard the item on that show and the audience poll result. Although the audience might not be a typical cross section, after all they are people with time to waste by going to tedious, useless shows of that nature and would not understand that they are being conned, it just goes to show that there are many people who still want their government to have their fingers in every pie and still believe fervently in the political process.

Thanks silverbuddave…lol… just joking…

Good to see ya btw. Just following satans footprints.
He’s doing everything right to make our world appear
heavenly.

The economy should look good or at least in a deceptive
way until total destruction comes. Thief in the night.

ITS THE TOTAL GRAND DECEPTION THATS IN PLAY RIGHT NOW.

Most are deceived in the last days. Many it says in the bible.

Everyone will be caught off guard, except for me…lol

Oh, I know you can’t be fooled either.

Peace and blessings to you. ; )

GO GOLD !!!!!!!

Also I believes with so many on social programs
it sure limits purchases of precious metals since
no money and all their needs are provided.

THEY DON’T CARE. These people that are provided
for in social support programs.

We have at least 100 million here in USA on support.

So the whole system is so high leveraged with debt

and then ypu have the Curve Pop we are in with Whack
a bubble showing up to blow up the entire system.
