    In ancient Ireland about 1500 years ago, the price of a big cow was one ounce of gold. The ounce was roughly the same as todays ounce. A big cow meant a large dry fat cow of good quality. Last month about mid April '23 in an Irish cattle market auction, I sold a good fat Charolais cow. I got 1,890 Euros for her. Gold is now 1.850 Euro an ounce. ruclips.net/video/9-S1w3Se8H4/видео.html

      I only understood that fact recently from one of Alistair Macleods talks and found it amazing and comforting in some way. The idea of going back to any time in history with an ounce of gold and the purchasing power pretty much being the same. They don’t call it ‘Gods’ money, or ‘Natures’ money for nothing.

      @@crazeben I am a beef farmer in Ireland and I have the sales docket. About that time in Ireland cattle were a currency too. Gold and silver were used only for subdivision into smaller amounts or where the seller did not keep cows. Ireland had a lot of gold. A bridge was built near me in 1913 for £20 Sterling and would now cost 25,000. A basket of goods in 1923 costing £1 would now cost £33. A basket of good in 1972 for £1 would now cost £23. I joined the reserve army in 1969 and pay was £six point 27. Now it is 470. 74 times the amount.

When Trump is reinstated our American Energy Economy will be re-ignited as well as restructuring of Debt and waste. It’s time to clean house but it will need the next Administrations for 20 years to guide the ship properly.. if not I agree the dollar is doomed as a pegged fiat.
      Can the Dollar be put back on the Gold standard? Possible
      or not.. however don’t underestimate the USA & also the decline of the ISA around the World ( which you may support) may also adversely effect all of the World as Americans assist Countries Financially more than any Country in the World. Be careful what you wish for!

The tricky part is getting out of the current system without breaking the world. BRICS+ is building a new system. It is a cooperation of many nations, not all of which trust each other. It would be very easy for the US to torpedo the whole project. So easy, in fact, that many nations will only join BRICS+ with some form of insurance that there will be no (effective) push back from the US. The existence of BRICS+ tells you that the current hegemon supports it.

      UK realised it could keep its tentacles wrapped around its ex colonies through the banking system rather than costly military.

I think this period of developing multi polarity is the real end of that imperialistic era.

    Very logical indeed.the Fed has a choice- crush inflation or crush the dollar. If it choose to crush inflation then the dollar becomes too strong for foreigners to service their foreign debt. In addition the us cost to service its debt would become intolerable. So it has to devalue the dollar, as slowly as possible to give us time to adapt. Up till now one tool for that has been to massively short gold. If that cracks (watch carefully other central banks increase in actual delivered gold), the process will be hurried up quite a bit.

    • @spiritofgoldfish
      @spiritofgoldfish Год назад +2

      Neoliberal ideology has twisted the meaning of "free market" into the opposite of what the classical economists like Adam Smith intended. The classical economists defined a free market as free FROM economic rents (unearned income), extracted by feudal landlords. The classical role of government is to tax away economic rents and use it to lower the cost of production. This is done through subsidies for such things as public infrastructure, education, and health care, not raising the cost of living and therefore the cost of labor, as with neoliberal monopolistic privatization.
      Austrian and Libertarian neoliberals have no role for the government in the economy, leaving the market free FOR economic rents, extracted by monopolies and the banks (FIRE, finance, insurance, and real estate). Because the economy does not stay out of government, the result is rule by the rentier oligarchy, otherwise called feudalism.
      The central planners aren't in the government. The transnational rentier oligarchy at the top of wall street (the deep state) does central planning for their private benefit, and they are the employers of politicians. The job of the politician is to deliver voters to the oligarchy by campaigning on whatever gets them elected with oligarchy funding, then do whatever the oligarchy wants, and they are taken care of whether they are reelected or not.
      "Reagan’s election marked the ascension of deep political forces to a position of sovereignty. Practically speaking, what emerged was an exceptionist tripartite state comprised of (1) a feckless public state, (2) a sprawling security state, and (3) the anti-democratic deep state to which they are subordinated. This consolidation and institutionalization of top-down power was such that US governance could thereafter be described as a deep state system."
      Good, Aaron. American Exception: Empire and the Deep State (p. 260).
      The refugees at the southern border are fleeing rule by the same rentier oligarchy at the top of wall street that employs both political parties and is cannibalizing the homeland into debt peonage.
      As it is today, "the government" is a synonym for "the corporations". Mussolini spoke of the national Corporate State of Fascism, but ours is an inverted totalitarianism where economics bests politics. Corporations spend more lobbying than the combined payroll and other costs of running both houses of congress, and this doesn't include money in political campaigns. Congress only votes on laws written by corporate lawyers. Public opinion has no effect on legislation.
      If the US had majority rule, i.e., a democratic form of government, we would have a decent minimum wage, Medicare for all, free education, parental and sick leave, legal marijuana, workers on corporate boards, lower credit card interest, not allowing politicians to own stock or immediately graduate to becoming lobbyists, public funding of drug research for public drug patents, and some kind of green new deal, just at first glance at the polls. We have institutionalized opposition at best, not representation at all.

    excess DEBT is the first problem. Of which the USD is the primary Global Debt instrument. To further exacerbate thiChina and the BRICSs issue of the USD being the primary global Debt instrument, it was tied to globalisation and trade only to be weaponized by the US/CIA, US military, US neocons, which has driven 50 countries aaway from the USD and ensured it's demise. Deindustrialisation of the US has drastically weakened the US economy, it's military and it's security.
    China & Russia focused on joint agreements to expend Globalistaion into the world, not using Debt (as the west has) but through very long term strategic planning to improve their & BRICS positions to improve Trade through Building Infrastructure. The US and Collective west have wasted Tens of Tillions of dollars on thoughtless military adventurism to spread Debt, to destabilize countries to ensure their inferior status and ensure the US policy of "Full Spectrum dominance which is nothing but rearded in it's scope and Psychopathic in it's thinking.

China, for some bizarre reason, is trying to pretend its neutrality while 85% of the world understands it supports Russia.

    The Central Banks do not operate honestly. How much money as a percentage of operations do the shareholders take each year? Who are they? What interest are getting in the assets of the people that have been entrusted to the government- that is to say the personages who operate the fiction we call government- to protect them from loss on profits due to their operations that have been promised them in the trust that we are not allowed to see. Why can they not be audited?
    The proof that they are not operations honestly is that in Japan beginning in 1946 when Japan was a pile of bricks and dust, it’s Central Bank instituted policies that brought it out of desastre in one year. Factories began to operate. They soon began exporting products all over the world, and not too long again had the highest standard of living in the world. Until 1989 when it’s Central Bank was ordered to change its policies by the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK. Read or watch Dr Richard Werner’s The Princes of the Yen (RUclips 1.5 hours) It will tell you all you need to know about Central Banking and why we are in this position. Why we have no factories and so many people living under bridges. And why we have 1 or 2000 people controlling our government., keeping us in endless wars, making a killing of our dead sons, and our not enemies dead families.
