Gold: A Constructively Inhibiting Institution
I stand with anachronism. I like the low hum of cultured voices, great books, and the dead authors who wrote them. I believe in the fedora hat, which should be tipped in the open air and doffed in an elevator. I support the gold standard.
Nothing against progress. The sextant sailed us around the world and the slide rule got us up to the moon, but neither beats your pocket-sized GPS-cum-high-speed-computer-cum-Encyclopedia-Britannica.
I understand the imperative of creative destruction, but where has prudence gone?

Chinese-made humanoid robots raise alarms in Congress: ‘Stealth army on our land’
Advanced Chinese-made robots with eerily lifelike capabilities are poised to enter the global market — and some US lawmakers are already demanding that they be banned in the US, The Post has learned.
While not yet widely publicized, various Chinese companies have begun producing humanoid robots that are capable of carrying boxes, moving at high speeds and even replicating human facial expressions.
One leading Chinese firm, Unitree Robotics, has developed a $90,000 robot capable of running at speeds of up to 11 mph. A cheaper $16,000 version can absorb punches and kicks and twirl a baton. Many other firms have similar products under development.

EXCLUSIVE – Federal Air Marshal Whistleblowers Report Tulsi Gabbard Actively Under Surveillance via Quiet Skies Program
In an exclusive breaking story, several Federal Air Marshal whistleblowers have come forward with information showing that former U.S. Representative and Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is currently enrolled in the Quiet Skies program. Quiet Skies is a TSA surveillance program with its own compartmentalized suspected terrorist watchlist. It is the same program being weaponized against J6 defendants and their families. Quiet Skies is allegedly used to protect traveling Americans from suspected domestic terrorists. The photo below is a screenshot from the actual Target Package used by the FAMS to surveil Gabbard.
From Wolfgang Rech:
Bill,
As the day opened with all markets crashing big time, retail investors couldn't log in to trade.
Odd, isn't it?
Purposely keeping retail out?
Wolfgang Bill's Commentary:
“Not odd at all Wolfgang, they have corralled the public and put “gates” up to impede selling. The final chapter will be just as Jim forecast, pulling the plugs out of the walls and closing everything. How else can they implement “The Great Taking”?” Bill
Schwab, Fidelity, other online trading brokerages appear to go dark during huge market sell-off
NEW YORK — Several online brokerage firms including Charles Schwab, Fidelity and Vanguard appeared to be down for thousands of users early Monday during one of the biggest stock markets sell-offs of 2024.
User reports appeared to peak around and just before 10 a.m. ET, data from outage tracker Downdectector shows. Some frustrated customers online said that they were unable to log in or access their account balances.
Bill’s Commentary:
“Jaime Dimon’s Op Ed is all well and good , if, and ONLY IF the leaders “installed” have the best interests of the country at heart …rather than implementing plans of destruction as they are currently!”
The next president must restore our faith in America
We live in a perilous time. Deeply divided, our nation now faces both challenging domestic issues and perhaps the most complicated geopolitical situation since World War II. We may be at an inflection point that will determine the fate of the free and democratic world for decades.
We should not sleepwalk into disaster — we will prevail, but we need an active, comprehensive effort. This is precisely the time when strong American leadership is needed to unite us and strengthen the indispensable role our country plays for the safety of the world.
Bill’s Commentary:
“They would never do this …would they?”
Are Banks Sweeping Dud Property Loans Under the Rug?
After the last major financial crisis, when scores of banks failed or took government bailouts while sporting seemingly pristine balance sheets, America’s accounting rule makers got working on a new system for reporting credit losses that was supposed to make lenders recognize them more quickly.
That new set of rules has been in place for a little over four years. Investors could be forgiven for wondering if it is working any better than the former one.
