Bill’s commentary:

“This is not even Jacks for openers, just wait …there is no bull market like a gold bull market simply because fear is a far greater emotion than greed!”

Wholesale retailer Costco sold more than $100 million worth of gold in the most recent quarter, with gold bars seeing high demand from customers.

“You’ve probably read about the fact that we’re selling one-ounce gold bars. We sold over $100 million of gold during the quarter” ended Sept. 30, Richard Galanti, the chief financial officer of Costco, said during an earnings call on Dec. 14. This was the first quarter of fiscal 2024 at Costco. The wholesale retailer started selling gold online beginning September. In an earnings call late that month, Mr. Galanti had alluded to massive demand for the product.

“Rolling Thunder Global Propaganda – Mark Crispin Miller.”

New York University (NYU) Professor Mark Crispin Miller (MCM) is an expert in propaganda. Dr. Miller says from infection to injection, Covid 19 was a global “propaganda masterpiece.” Propaganda on this level has never happened before in human history. Dr. Miller explains, “The media has been crucial to this entire operation, and I would take that a little further.

Bill’s commentary:

“I am not one for dancing on people’s graves, but this guy died by his own sword. I do not believe there is a single person on the planet that regrets not taking the quaxx?”

A Canadian journalist who took strong positions in support of COVID-19 vaccines—including calling for vaccine passports and terminating police officers who refused the jab—has died suddenly.

Ian Vandaelle, a 33-year-old business journalist who worked at the Financial Post and earlier at BNN Bloomberg, was declared brain dead and taken off life support earlier this month, his partner, Stephanie Hughes, said in a post on X.

Bill’s commentary:

“Don’t tell me, they ran out of ‘other people’s money’?”

San Francisco has committed a dastardly act of racism, putting a halt to its virtuous office of reparations amid budget cuts.

Apparently there are more important things than transferring wealth to black people, despite everything we’ve been told. The office, which was set to launch this year, was eliminated as part of Mayor London Breed’s $75 million cuts to the city’s budget in preparation for a major deficit in 2024.

Bill’s commentary:

“This is very significant as now shipping and thus supply chains are affected.”

Two major freight firms including MSC, the world’s biggest container shipping line, on Saturday said they would avoid the Suez Canal as Houthi militants in Yemen stepped up their assaults on commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

Bill’s commentary:

“I grew up in the 60’s, I remember hearing so many conversations re “how did the Germans ever let that happen”? All I can say now is this, you are watching it happen again in real time, right before your own lying eyes!”

In 1927 the French philosopher Julien Benda published La trahison des clercs—“The Treason of the Intellectuals”—which condemned the descent of European intellectuals into extreme nationalism and racism. By that point, although Benito Mussolini had been in power in Italy for five years, Adolf Hitler was still six years away from power in Germany and 13 years away from victory over France. But already Benda could see the pernicious role that many European academics were playing in politics.

Bill’s commentary:

“$113,000 each? We buy these shells for a local shelter under $8K each and build them out to accommodate up to five people. The labor is donated. All in cost is less than $12,000. Maybe it is something in the water that Californians drink?”

When the nonprofit Dignity Moves opened 70 homes for the homeless on a vacant lot in near San Francisco Civic Center in 2022, unhoused residents who moved into the village praised it as a dignified, caring place to get a second chance. Elected officials celebrated the site, saying they wanted to replicate it throughout the city as a cost-effective, fast and humane solution to getting people off the streets.

Bill’s commentary:

“See, you were the guinea pig!”

There may be around a 1 in 10 chance that Pfizer mRNA COVID-19 vaccines will not generate spike proteins but something else, a new Cambridge study finds, raising concerns about autoimmune response among experts.
