U.S. Mint Actions Discourage Gold Ownership

The government outlawed private gold ownership once before. Who says they can't do it again and restrict ownership for strictly industrial purposes,especially when they force us to sell it when we go to a cashless society? The exchange of money will be strictly electronic debiting, from the workplace to the home to the marketplace. We won't even have paper money.

If you don't think it will happen, think again. They already took away some of our constitutional rights and now they are stealing us blind and we are just sitting here and doing nothing about it, so no weeping and gnashing of teeth when that day finally comes.

When that all happens then you'll really see how the government can create "money" virtually out of thin air. BTW, the government I'm talking about will be the World Government, not the US Government.

Gold Loses Its Shine

Here's a real life gold story that actually happened. I thought I'd throw it in here. Enjoy.

Back in the 1960's, my uncle-in-law (he lived at 2764 N. Weil St in Milwaukee, WI, second house south of what was then a corner bar) was metal-detecting in his back yard with a White's metal detector when it went off near a stone bench. He started digging and hit a cloth or leather bag. When he opened it up it contained numerous gold double eagles from the 1930's. He again searched the yard with the detector and got a hit on some more metal. When he dug, up came another bag of gold coins! These were probably buried by someone during the Depression who didn't trust banks. I don't think he ever spent those coins because he was afraid the IRS would confiscate them or heavily tax him if they found out.

(Our government's greed knows no bounds. Right now the Democrats and the Republicans have divied up $700 billion of the taxpayer's money under the guise of a "bailout"; $350 billion for the Republican's term and $350 billion for the Democrat's term. Who says there's no bipartisanship? They scared us into giving it to them under the threat that we'd have a depression if we didn't. At least that was their reasoning. Of course our reasoning was they flat out stole it from us without our vote. Taxation without representation. So I don't really wonder why the former owner of those gold coins buried them in the first place. We get the picture 80-some years later.)

Anyways, getting back to the story, he held on to those coins until the 1990's in his safe at home until he was diagnosed with Altzheimers. He then went to King VA Hospital and died a year or so ago. I don't know what ever happened to those coins nor if there still might be more gold coins still buried in that back yard down in Milwaukee. I can imagine that if there were any still there, the owner would be a rich man.

Either way, even though he had all this gold, it never did him any good in the end, or anyone else, for that matter. The moral of the story is that even if you have the actual physical gold, you can lose that as easily as if you had it in the stock market.

What the Conflict in Gaza Means for Financial Markets

Zi Palestine,

Innocent children, women and men? LOL. Don't make me laugh, my lips are chapped.

Palistinian children are brainwashed from a young age to hate and are trained to kill in terrorist training camps along with their parent's approval. They are not innocent like you claim. Let's talk about the real terrorism in Palestine (and in other Muslim countries); female genital mutilation of young girls, forced marriage of young girls as young as nine, legalized pedophilia and child rape (child marriage), honor killings, public stoning and chopping off of hands and feet and floggings for minor infractions and, of course, the old standby, suicide and homicide bombings and lately, random and indiscriminate firing of missiles into civilian areas. All in the name of the false god, Allah.

Of course, you probably already knew that. Which ones are you guilty of, since you stated that I'm guilty of terrorism even though I don't adhere to the above practices like most Muslims do?

Mad rabid dogs are exterminated, not coddled. Look what happened in Europe; those dumb goverments let all those Muslims in because the immigrant's own people were persecuting them and what have those ingrate immigrants turned around and done since they got there? Bombing, rioting, protesting and destabilizing western society. They've proven, time and time again, over the centuries and throughout history, that they are a bloodthirsty and war-like people. Europe will rue the day they let the Muslims in to their countries. Their European ancestors died to keep the Mongel and Muslim hordes out and their own governments betrayed them and let them in.

Palestinians are nothing but biological remnants of past invasions into Canaan by the Egyptians, Persians, Arabs and Islamic cultures. Modern-day Palestinians have no more claim over the ancient lands of Canaan than anyone else. Recorded ancient history shows the Jewish peoples having lived in Palestine earlier than anyone else, having been forced there by the Egyptians. They have more claim to the area more than anyone else.

As far as Israel's days being numbered, before they succumb to the Islamic hordes of the Middle East, most Arab countries will be eternal unliveable nuclear-toxic zones. That's a high price to pay for the spread of Islam. Good luck in your mutually assured destruction of the Semetic races.

What the Conflict in Gaza Means for Financial Markets

Considering that Egyptian authorities are fully aware of numerous tunnels along their border and the Gaza strip which are being used for smuggling weapons and missiles into Gaza to be used against Israel, who are these closet terrorists to be brokering any peace agreement?

I think that Israel is doing a fine job of bombing these tunnels and Hamas targets and wiping Gaza off the face of the map and at the same time killing terrorists and would-be terrorists. It's about time that someone started killing the families of the terrorists and the people who allow the terrorists to launch missiles from their neighborhoods. This will help cut down future terrorist attacks. If most everyone is dead or hungry and wounded they won't have time to terrorize. This policy worked great on Lebanon. You don't see those people sending rockets into Israel anymore, do you?

Now Israel needs to work on those who are supplying these terrorists; the Iranians. A few well-placed bombs/missiles into the heart of Iran (especially the nuclear sites) will help take the wind out of their sails.

A well-placed missile on the palace of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (pronounced: I'm mad in the head) would also help curtail terrorism.

I'd like to see China even try economic terrorism against the US. When the Western world stops buying their products they will be reduced back to a Third World country. I've already stopped buying any Chinese products if I can help it. Most of their products sent to the US already contain numerous deadly chemicals and poison and it's obvious to even the simple-minded FDA officials that the Chinese are already systematically poisoning our children with lead, melamine and other deadly poisons. So they don't have to start a war with us, they already have, by targeting the next generation of Americans, our children.

Own Gold? Time to Fold

I think he did a very good critique of your arguments and I don't see where he attacked you personally at all.
