Perhaps those rumours were created by the same people who said it was a sex game gone wrong... That was the British press as I recall... Clearly, they wanted to discredit Gareth Williams, so I'm sure whatever reason they have for discrediting him - still exists. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8012360/MI6-spy-found-in-sports-bag-had-been-playing-sex-game-police-believe.html

Ipso facto, the probability of corruption is proportional to the concentration of power. Correlation is not causation... just because the corruption became worse post-Brexit, doesn't mean Brexit caused it. I would suggest the corruption became much worse during the government's response to the pandemic. Nevertheless... I still believe Russia will outlive (in its current form) the West, purely because they have the resources to do so. It is clear to me, the West has been stomping around the globe looking for oil (and other resources) under false pretences for the last 20 years. At this point, you should be asking why... It doesn't require a large leap of faith to conclude the war in Ukraine is a continuation of that crusade. I believe the West want a Western-compliant Russian government, so they can syphon off their resources. Russia knows this and China knows it's next if Russia falls.

It was caveated with an "if"... I could come up with a longer list of murders/strange deaths within and around the US political system. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Brexit has nothing to do with this conversation.

That's because you're not paying attention. Do you remember the MI6 agent Gareth Williams who was found in a gym bag? The coroner concluded that - another party placed the bag containing Williams into the bath, and on the balance of probabilities locked the bag. The coroner said that Williams was probably alive when he was put in the bag and that he probably died shortly afterwards from CO2 poisoning or from a short-acting poison. Additionally, the UK has slipped from 11th > 18th place in the CPI 2022 review. I suspect if they looked harder, we would be lower still... If you think the UK is squeaky clean, given our global history - I think you're naive.

If any of that were true - which it isn't... then please list off the benefits of controlling people's spending habits and why violating their freedom of choice is a good thing. You won't of course... because it's indefensible.

Looks like there's another golden cross forming around the 16th of July. Barring any crippling anti-BTC comments from the government(s), I'd say the correction is over and it will start accumulating again. The next target is $35K, but there is heavy resistance around $35-39K, so it won't go straight through. The date of the golden cross is interesting... because gold is expected to hit new all-time highs in USD in the middle of July on the back of the Ukraine war. BTC is perhaps lining up to do the same. If you're a believer in BTC... I would say now is a good entry point leading up to the middle of July and the next halving on 24/04/24.

The primary purpose of traffic lights is safety and efficiency. They're not there so a local planner can take pleasure in dominating you. CBDCs are NOT the same as PayPal or your internet banking. They're programmable and if you read the white papers on the BOE's website, you will soon realise that the programmable nature of these state-sanctioned cryptocurrencies, is not for your benefit - but theirs. They will become a political tool... Are you happy with that? Maybe you don't care... but I bet your kids will when it's too late. Are you happy the government will dictate to you and your family what you can and can't spend your money on and when?

It is here too.

Corruption has been institutionalised in the west, so it goes unnoticed and unreported.

This is heartening to read. Around 30% of the UK population would stand up and protest Digital IDs. Without Digital IDs, there can be no CBDCs, no 15-minute cities. So... there are around 20 million British people who are up for a protest... Good. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jun/13/quarter-in-uk-believe-covid-was-a-hoax-poll-on-conspiracy-theories-finds

You've just described every country on the planet.

No.

The corruption in the US is off the charts, far worse than Russia. I still don't hear an argument for Russia's collapse and the BRICS nations account for 42% of the world's population. Russia will do just fine IMO.

Russia != Zimbabwe

^^ THIS. Russia is the most resource-rich country on the planet, the US is in 2nd place but is 40% behind Russia in terms of resources. Countries have been fighting over resources for the last 20 years... and given countries can now print as much money as they want... there's no reason for Russia to go bankrupt and collapse. This whole thread is moronic.

I think it's difficult to dispute point 1 when you can short a commodity. It's little more than betting the price will fall whilst not necessarily having exposure to the underlying commodity and it does affect the price. Price manipulation is well documented by the London Gold Pool. I appreciate this was under a gold standard, but the mechanisms are there and well-tested... There are also rumours of sleight of hand rehypothecation within the industry and order spoofing through dark pools... Nevertheless... for as long as "physical" demand is met by industrial supply, the illusion will continue. At some point having a bird in the hand will be worth a hundred in a bush. Gold is the money of last resort... and always will be. That's why the central banks still class it as a reserve and especially as de-dollarisation accelerates and the prospect of war looms... this will only increase. Why would Russia and China hold the reserves of their proxy enemy? It's far better to diversify... I think the point of the article is we're getting closer to our golden Minsky moment where gold shines... Yes for every buyer there's a seller, but when demand outpaces supply and market scarcity is felt - prices rise.

How would you buy if someone wasn't selling? What's the point of this comment?

As a reminder... 1 ton cube of gold is 37.7cm x 37.7cm x 37.7cm.

They say rates will rise for the next 18 months... it's gonna get interesting! 😉

FFS... was Putin responsible for your shit GCSE grades as well? You are aware this area of the globe has been at war on and off for hundreds of years right? They hate each other... and always have.

Just save this link. The only 2 that are relevant to us here are the FED and obviously the BOE. The FED is typically 2-7 days before the BOE. https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/upcoming-mpc-dates

I've just watched her video... she makes a great point... and it should set off alarm bells in each of you who are looking at this with your rose-tinted glasses... They haven't started this by building new schools, hospitals, leisure parks and libraries, they start by erecting barricades and surveillance cameras...

Are you mad? Where's the magic money coming from? Why would this be a good thing...? What was wrong with the old system that this would address? Are you mad?

The Green Agenda is not about decarbonising the world, it's a very clever way to get you to conform to the inevitability of Peak Oil. When we're priced out of using the last of the oil, you'll need to live close to the amenities, that's what these 15 minute cities are about. Anyone that thinks they'll have a hospital, a good school, a fire service or a Police station within 15 minutes from your house is mad. Digital ID, CBDCs and facial recognition using 5G are probably additional control mechanisms...
