You will find on 3 pages there are supposed authoritative citations to OCCRP , The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Program.
Soros did not get to his station in life because he is not bright. And, CFS, what are these three authoritative citations? I am now going to look further into OCCRP. Thanks for mentioning it.
On the surface, this organization appears to be a good thing.If listeners want to learn more about it go to: https://www.occrp.org/en/about-us
As anyone familiar with George S. should be aware it is impossible for OCCRP to be presented in any negative light. Go to the link shown above and you will note that it is presented in a light that any conservative would approve of.
I repeat: “George Soros is a very intelligent individual.”
To understand whatI was talking about with the OCCRP, you really have to go to the 9 page Whistle-blower report itself and look at the references in footnotes.
I noticed that OCCRP was being multiply cited as an authority, so that made me curious.
I looked at a similar page on OCCRP to the one cited by Big Al, sounded great as a watchdog against corruption.
But I noticed buried in among the funding sources was “Open Society”, which is a RED FLAG to me.
In 2017, 57% of the funding of OCCRP came from Open Society Foundation.
It appears to me that while the OCCRP may well go after real criminals, it is probably mostly a tool for Soros to unseat politicians and disrupt the stability of countries.
He seems to have been directly and indirectly involved in most of the color revolutions of Eastern Europe. (So has the CIA !)
Gleb Tsipursky apparently does not trust I.T. So what! He worries about our systems being attacked by miscreants. I’ve got news apparently for him….WE ARE BEING ATTACKED, hourly, daily. (many people are employed to build in protections.)
Does he really want society to decrease efficiency by rejecting the use of the internet?
I always appreciate what Rick Rule has to say.
I do, however, ponder the truth of silver having the potential to out-perform gold.
I know that is standard wisdom, and certainly true at certain periods of time, but….
Here is a long term CPI adjusted price of Gold:

and I will post in the next comment the CPI adjusted long term price of silver.
Good morning Professor. I can almost guarantee that Rick was discussing this issues in terms of “return on investment”.
I personally have always felt that way.
I have sent your comment to him and I know that he will either respond directly to you utilizing this blog or he will respond through me.
It’s very simple, silver always outperforms gold during a gold bull market and never outperforms gold during a gold bear market.
Back in the gold bull market of the 1970’s I seem to recall gold moved up faster than silver at first, but silver exploded up more the last couple of years until it took just 17 oz of silver to buy one oz of gold in 1980. Silver is the better bargain today. Who will be the Nelson and Bunker Hunt of the 2020’s?
Bonzo, your OR has improved a lot, as expected a month ago. Notice that it bullishly avoided testing some obvious support before turning up…

The arrival at a much more important support probably explains why:

Does silver out-perform gold? I’m not sure.
I am not the mathematician that you are, Professor, but logic tells me that, in terms of “roi”, silver wins hands down. Do I pass this test?
Strangely, despite the conventional wisdom, that states “silver moves faster than gold”, that statement is not universally true. Not even close to being universally true.
It is true that since about the turn of the millennium (2000) silver has been moving faster, but from 1970 until 2000 gold usually moved faster.
(I’m talking in percentage changes, obviously, not dollar amounts.)
and over the most recent few days although both metals have been going up, the rates are about equal. (That actually surprised me.)
It is, in fact, fairly easy to determine, at any point in time, whether silver or gold has a faster rate of change.
If one plots a ratio of goldprice/silverprice as a function of time…..
If that graph has a positive slope then gold is outperforming.
If that graph has a negative slope, then silver is out performing.
It looks to me, as of the last few days, since the graph is actually flat, neither gold or silver is out-performing the other.
(It depends slightly on the time scale chosen)
Good article about Nixon.
The video in this article of Spiro Agnew shows how and why the media made the hardcore play to make him look crazy. It’s worth the view.

I am still completely amazed that Watergate happened!
As I pointed out below, looking at the slope of a Gold/Silver price chart is an easy way to tell which metal is moving faster.
THIS WAS INTENDED TO BE SEVERAL COMMENTS HIGHER.
HERE IS A WEEKLY CLOSE CHART OF THE GOLD/SILVER december futures RATIO, SHOWING FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS GOLD HAS SLIGHTLY BEEN OUT-PACING GOLD.
i.e. slope of chart is up.
Nixon was an angel compared to the odious Obama, Clintons, and LBJ.
Here is an interview with Hillary Clinton (an unindicted crook) discussing Nixon’s impeachment and Trump’s.

HRC sounds quite with it – of course highly partisan. She sounds to me like she might run again if given the chance. She has all the talking points right, and certainly sounds more coherent than Biden.
HRC is definitely not suffering from senility (as Pelosi seems to be at times.)

I wonder how she felt after the employment numbers came out yesterday! Let’s please get some comments on the comment in particular!
Trump has issued a Quid pro Quo warning for the $100 million it gives in aid to Lebanon.
The Quid is to close down the rocket factory that Iran built for Hezbollah.

Greg Hunter talks to Steve Quayle about US West Coast Seismic events.
Here is what is NOT transparently known by Steve Quayle:
Seismic events HAVE historically been associated with Grand Solar Minima, a phenomenon that occurs with an approx 400 year cyclicality.
(I guess there weren’t too many inhabitants of California, Oregon and Washington some 400 years ago; let alone some 12,000 years ago when the sea level rose by some 400 feet.
Steve Quayle indicates a 1 in 3 chance of a 400-500 foot Tsunami hitting the West Coast of the U.S. as a result of seismic activity associated with the Cascade (N. American plate subduction zone). My belief is that this event, should it occur, is still more than 3 years away, with a peak probability about 6 years off. (2025)
It is true that the U.S. Government has stopped reporting some seismic data just recently, which has worried me.
4 Q POSTS SO FAR TODAY.
The first one was a test.
The second was a picture of the American flag.
The third was a complicated message, and
the Fourth said “Rig for Red”

Brain, gut, heart are connected and trying to tease out the origin of bad decisions is ridiculous. The examples given, BA and GE show the fallacy of the guest thesis.
Another epic show…Dr. Gleb T…….Among my top, maybe most favorite guest ever…normalcy bias and the rest are very important ideas to wrap your head around…The commentators asked very great questions I would not have thought of…Thanks!
French High School Students Will Learn About Bitcoin And Crypto
The ministry further provides teachers with three educational explainer videos that address questions such as “Is Bitcoin the currency of the future?”, “Can Bitcoin replace the Euro?” and “Do you have trust in your currency?”
OPUS 187 Pelosi Dem’s Death Knell – Steve Pieczenik
Trump wants to cut California off of emergency funds for the fires because the governor doesnt know what he is doing concerning land management.
Except the majority of land is managed by the feds.
It’s not just the Governor, who would not be Governor except for nepotism; it is all the tree-hugging liberal (un)progressives, who prefer to see wild animals burned to death and families and homes destroyed rather than do the right thing of clearing under-brush, cutting fire-breaks and making dams, so there will be water to fight the fires.
Governor Newsom’s only mistake was the bribes (lobbyist contributions) he took from the energy monopoly, PG&E that persuade him to favor lack of maintenance and absolve them from normal penalties of their flagrant violations.
Why is the Fed allowing so many FOREIGN BANKS that do business in the U.S. crawl up to the repo window in their wheelchairs and get money?
We all know, but for stupid FASB rules, banks like DeutscheBank would have gone belly up long ago.
The U.S. is essentially propping up most of the world, and we know full well there is a very high probability that the Fed will be left holding worthless or semi-worthless securities in exchange for the repo money handed out.

JUST FOR FUN.
If you read “the Whistle-Blower” 9-page Report very carefully…..
(I posted the link last weekend)
You will find on 3 pages there are supposed authoritative citations to OCCRP , The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Program.
Never haing heard of the organization, and presuming it to be a U.N. committee or similar, I thought I ought to look it up.
Surprise, surprise, It is nothing more than yet another George Soros front, primarily funded by Soros’ Open Society Foundation.
SO YET AGAIN WE FIND THE FINGERPRINTS OF GEORGE SOROS ALL OVER DESTRUCTION OF SOCIETY, in this case even to unseat the President of the U.S.
