Yes, this thread has gone off the deep end, but the important thing is that in 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court...
IMHO - People are rioting now because they have more dividing them than they have unifying them. But even then, the riots are by far the...
I agree with much of your post, but I can't properly respond without getting knee deep in politics, which is verboten here. o_O
I didn't finish it because with the word "only", it's seems as though you think of it as the exception, as though a total collapse were more...
But the number two country at the time nonetheless. ...and you're ignoring the flip side of the coin. Even in such an extreme event, precious...
See, now you're flip flopping. What I meant by "civil" is that people were able to barter precious metals for goods and services. The very...
Your arrogance is simply astounding. I'm quite certain people in the USSR were telling themselves the same thing in 1980. How much of a global...

Here's another question for all the nay sayers here: How much would your USD investments (bank account, brokerage account, IRA, etc.) be worth in...
You can keep thinking about the sort of "total collapse" that has never happened in the entire history of all mankind, but I'll keep thinking of...

I've been gone for a while, and this is what I come back to? :woot: (I reached my goal for how much precious metals I wanted to own, but figured...
I need to find more tricks that I can use to buy PM. The best trick I've found so far is with one of my favorite regional ranch supply stores....
Yeah, I've only managed to use the 8x rebate once, and I don't think I've received an offer since then. Maybe it's only 1 per customer, but I...
I think what causes some of the disagreement with the GSR is the same thing that usually does here: Dealing in absolutes and assumptions. The...
You nailed the value of the GSR right there. They're both "just a commodity" whose values "both kind of go up or down together". Let's look at...
Gasoline isn't typically used as a store of wealth. USD, silver, and gold are very similar to each other in that regard. Gasoline, not so much....
Here's another way to look at it. If a person has dollars, and they want to buy gold or silver, they likely want to wait for the price of gold or...
