“Banana Republic plain and simple!”
In 2017, Simon & Schuster released the book, The Chickenshit Club, by the Pulitzer-prize winning public interest writer, Jesse Eisinger. The title derives from the premise that the prosecutors at the U.S. Department of Justice are too worried about losing a case or harming their ability to get those seven-figure pay packages at the big Wall Street law firms to do their jobs properly as prosecutors. Aside from that narrative, which is brilliantly analyzed by Eisinger, the book reveals a stunning fact about Manhattan federal district court Judge Jed Rakoff – a man who has gone out of his way to portray himself with the media as the protector of the public interest.
Bill’s commentary:
“Put simply, silver is the cheapest asset on the planet.”
Silver is significantly undervalued right now. One analyst called the current price in the $22 an ounce range “inexcusably low.”
But many analysts are bullish on silver in the medium term with projections of prices climbing to $50 to $100 an ounce over the next two to five years.

“Kudos to Pastor Stanley! A heartwarming yet terrifying dog story with a lesson …NOT FICTION!”
Dogs of all breeds who were sick of the way they had been treated by their earthly owners came together from different neighborhoods to found Doglandia. Doglandia was a nation made up of barkers from the four corners of the world. The dogs were of every color, face and breed.
Originally, they lived to serve the one true Master. Their Master blessed their land and made it abundant and prosperous to all who would work hard. Even though they fought like dogs will do, they patched up their civil differences and had good and productive lives in the land the Master had given them.

“Did we really need two Princeton PhD’s to tell us this?”
Two prominent climate scientists have taken on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) new rules to cut CO2 emissions in electricity generation, arguing in testimony that the regulations “will be disastrous for the country, for no scientifically justifiable reason.”
Bill’s commentary:
“This comes from a sitting US Senator …let THAT sink in!”
And now, better late than never, a US politician recognizes that all may not have been what it seemed with the pandemic – and its tyrannical response.
Senator Ron Johnson on Friday told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo that Covid-19, and its response, were “preplanned by an elite group of people” who conducted “Event 201” – a joint exercise conducted by John Hopkins, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum – which envisioned the spread of a coronavirus pandemic in South America which included over 65 million deaths worldwide.

Bill’s commentary:
“It’s about time as we see the more woke you get, the faster broke you get!”
Rating agency S&P Global has dropped its use of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores to assess corporate borrowers amid questions over the usefulness of such metrics and amid broader backlash to “woke” agendas being pushed in board rooms across the United States.
Since 2021, the credit rating agency has rated companies on a scale from 1 (best) to 5 (worst) in each of the three components of ESG. But now, S&P Global’s ESG scoring system is being dropped in the rating agency’s credit quality assessments of publicly rated firms.

“Are people finally waking up and pushing back?”
Over the weekend, Ne-Yo appeared in an interview with Gloria Velez for VladTV in which they criticized parents for allowing their children to have a say in their own gender identity from a young age. Shortly after, the musician issued a statement: “After much reflection, I’d like to express my deepest apologies to anyone that I may have hurt with my comments on parenting and gender identity.” Now, after a little more reflection, Ne-Yo has decided to walked back his apology. “This shit is getting out of hand,” he wrote on Instagram. “I will not be bullied into apologizing for having an opinion.”

With an annual revenue of over $23 billion a year, the company is by far the largest burger chain in the world. Since the pandemic, it saw profits ballooning, despite citing rising operational costs and supply chain issues as major problems dragging growth and even passing along a series of price increases to its customers to allegedly offset sales losses.

Fitch is now the second of the three major credit rating agencies to have taken the historic step of removing the triple-A rating from the U.S. S&P made its first-ever downgrade to the U.S. credit rating on August 5, 2011, also from AAA to AA+, and has kept it there ever since. Moody’s is now the only member of the Big Three credit rating agencies that has maintained a triple-A rating on the U.S.

“This could be super fun to watch! Facts versus fantasy? I wonder how many times DeSantis will ask how California is doing with various topics? Being long popcorn seems a safe bet!”
Govs. Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom have tentatively agreed to debate — one hosted by Fox News.
The Florida Republican and California Democrat have repeatedly sparred over policies in their respective states, each representing one side of the ideological spectrum though occupying different political perches. DeSantis, a Republican, is trailing former President Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination while Newsom, a Democrat, has brushed aside questions about his own presidential ambitions to become a super surrogate of sorts for President Joe Biden.

“A little late don’t you think? But this may in fact help Pastor Pawlowski?”
An Albertan court ruled on Tuesday that lockdown orders enacted in response to Covid were invalid.
The ruling in Ingram v. Alberta will likely force prosecutors to withdraw charges against individuals, churches, and other organizations in several other standing cases.

“Of course they have …They are “PROTECTING OUR DEMOCRACY! Does that phrase sound familiar?”
Wikipedia is one of many tools used by the US liberal establishment and its allies in the intelligence community to wage “information warfare,” the site’s co-founder, Larry Sanger, has told journalist Glenn Greenwald.
Speaking on Greenwald’s ‘System Update’ podcast, Sanger lamented how the site he helped found in 2001 has become an instrument of “control” in the hands of the left-liberal establishment, among which he counts the CIA, FBI, and other US intelligence agencies.

“Despite America’s likely opposition, de-dollarization will persist, as most of the non-Western world wants a trading system that does not make them vulnerable to dollar weaponization or hegemony,” says Frank Giustra, co-chairman of International Crisis Group. “It’s no longer a question of if, but when.”

“I thought it was Pink Floyd who coined the term ‘we don’t need no education’?”
LeBron James is a G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) on the basketball court. But all that greatness has yet to trickle down in the LeBron James-supported I Promise School classrooms in Akron, Ohio.
A new Akron Beacon Journal (ABJ) report said, “This fall’s class of eighth graders at the I Promise School hasn’t had a single student pass the state’s math test since the group was in the third grade.”
Bill’s commentary:
“If Trump truly does get power to subpoena, this is quite significant! Will we finally get to see the ugly truth in the light of day?”
Hey deep state, be careful what you wish for! “We now have the ability in this case to issue our own subpoenas. And we will relitigate every single issue in the 2020 Election. It gives President Trump an opportunity that he has never had before, which is to have subpoena power.”
Bill’s commentary:
“All monetary roads eventually lead to gold …!”
From August 22 through 24th, an extended coalition of over 40 nations which has become known as BRICS+ will meet in Johannesburg, South Africa. Among the likely topics of discussion is the feasibility of setting up a jointly-owned international financial institution. It would be funded by gold deposits, issue a currency, and extend loans tied to the spot value of gold. There are substantial reasons to doubt the workability of the growing consortium’s plan. But to dismiss it summarily, whether as bad economics or wrote anti-American propaganda, is to dismiss a moment five decades in the making.

“No, this is not the Onion! I am sure there is super high demand for “unvaccinated” organs…”
SUDBURY, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — Canadian health officials asked an Ontario woman to donate organs of her husband who died after being denied an organ transplant because he did not receive the COVID-19 shots.
In May, Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN), the Ontario organ donation agency, called Meghan Harper to harvest her husband Garnet’s organs as he lay dying because the hospital refused to provide organ transplants to unvaccinated Canadians.

“What a shocker!”
When the June jobs report came out, President Joe Biden crowed that it was “Bidenomics in action.”
But behind the happy talk of the White House statement, buried in the depths of a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is the revelation that more than five million Americans who are not working were not counted in the unemployment rate, which stands at 3.6 percent.
“We Are at the End of Civilization – Gerald Celente.”
Renowned trends researcher and publisher of “The Trends Journal,” Gerald Celente, says the trend for the world is very dark because of the increasing prospects for a World War. Celente pointed out a year ago to an unsuspecting public that “World War III has already started.” There is no end in sight to the Ukraine war, and it is only getting more intense. Celente says, “We are at the end of civilization.. . .Let’s talk about the Ukraine war. Thanks to the U.S. and NATO, they ramped up a situation that would have been over a year ago if we minded our own business. Now, it’s bombs away in Moscow with the drones they are sending in . . . . World War III has begun, and we are on the verge of nuclear annihilation. Look at these people on the cover of the Trends Journal. They are out of their minds. They are evil, demonic, psychopathic, pathological lying freaks.”

“Is the dollar now the global hot potato that hyperinflates?”
The Federal Reserve has just reported the largest year over year rise in history of the velocity of the M2 money supply with a 10.6% increase from one year ago.
The Velocity of Money is defined by the Federal Reserve as:
…’the number of times one dollar is spent to buy goods and services per unit of time. If the velocity of money is increasing, then more transactions are occurring between individuals in an economy.’… (FRED 7/27/23)

Bill’s commentary:
“Rest in Peace Principe!”
You may have noticed very little posting this week. My wingman and amigo passed away Tuesday suddenly (and no he was not vaxxed!). We have been riding partners for nearly 17 years. When I first got to Costa Rica back in late 2006, I was looking for a horse to trail ride and came across Principe’. He was sound and stable (most of the time as the Spanish do have a tendency at bad tempers). I loved his natural gait as he “paddled” while trotting. Each Saturday, the endurance Arabians would ride to a mountain top and back down. None of the Spanish horses could make it to the top except Principe’. He was normally number 8 or 10 out of 30 horses to the top …and ALWAYS dead least to get to the bottom because gaited horses lift and take such short steps naturally. After a couple of years, while on a Sunday bar hop with our horses, one of the best trainers in the country asked me if he could train my horse. I rode, while the trainer tapped his fetlocks and lower shoulders. Within a year, Principe’ had Paso Espanol (Spanish walk), passage, piaffe’, and could change leads on every other step at a canter. After getting him here in the states, a young woman was able to get him to change leads on each step, this is a feat that maybe only 2,500 horses on the planet can do?! Over the years, my rough math tells me we went nearly 20,000 miles together, many of those miles kept me sane in an increasingly insane world. He spoke horse, I spoke English, so we decided Spanish, and only Spanish would be our language choice. Once here in the States, I worked on a ground routine at liberty (no halter) with him that eventually stretched out to more than 3 minutes. Principe’ was an absolute carrot slut and would do anything for a carrot. He was a very quick learner as long as the carrot supply held out! Something many do not understand, is that your animal, any animal can teach you things …if you listen? There were several additions to his repertoire that he taught me and we continued with. For his last 6 years, never did he wear a saddle, nor had a bit in his mouth. What a dream, bareback and a hackamore was all that was required! He’s had a 3 yr old on him and an 80 year old, he always knew who was on him and whether he could push it to a scale of 11 out of 1-10. Maybe his best trait was being “drunk broke” where he would ride under you if you were ever off balance. His last gift to me was helping train 2 separate service/protection dogs. You can never ranch train any dog in good fashion if you need to divert attention to your ride. He had no jitters around dogs, was a push button ride, and I believe he fully understood the what and why of running with two dogs. We rode together nearly every day since 2012 through all sorts of weather conditions and terrain. I looked forward to the ride each day, he liked it too though maybe it was more so the carrots?
RIP my friend, I will miss you so much! Relajarse en paz mi amigo, voy a extranarte MUCHO!”

“Geopolitics have always been a huge factor in economics and finance. More so today, but the logic that lead them in the past has been thrown to the curb…”
The July NATO summit in Vilnius had the feeling of a funeral, as if they had just lost a family member – Ukraine. To clear away NATO’s failure to drive Russia out of Ukraine and move NATO right up to the Russian border, its members tried to revive their spirits by mobilizing support for the next great fight – against China, which is now designated as their ultimate strategic enemy. To prepare for this showdown, NATO announced a commitment to extend their military presence all the way to the Pacific.

“At least they are finally saying the quiet part, out loud! It’s opinion …but if it is their opinion it must be fact? “
Facebook parent Meta is shifting away from current affairs and politics on its social media platforms, and will instead focus on short-form videos and content from influencers vs. news, the Financial Times reports.
Bill’s commentary:
“Geopolitics have always mattered. This will without doubt be the “Asian century”…”
In his book, The Asian 21st Century, Kishore Mahbubani (Mahbubani), a former diplomat who served as Singapore’s permanent representative to the United Nations and president of the UN Security Council, pointed out the biggest thing happening in the world yet no Western media would talk about it – the arrival of the Asian century. In an exclusive interview with Global Times (GT) reporters Li Aixin, Qian Jiayin and Yu Jincui, Mahbubani shared his insights on why he believes the American century is over, the Asian century is coming, and how the US has focused on the wrong “battlefields,” at the book release hosted by Beijing-based think tank CCG. The China-US contest will not be in military dimension; it will be in economic dimension, Mahbubani said.
Bill’s commentary:
“Erik finishes with “We don’t know how to fix it, but without gold and guns—any fix is beyond our reach.” and he is absolutely correct!”
