Re; Bandar Bush story.
I heard Webster Tarpley on Monday talking about it. He said its too early to tell but he said this could be a sign the Saudi’s are running away from the US alliance and into the arms of the Russians. I think its a case of the rats jumping off the sinking ship.

I do not understand why anyone would want to use ETF’s for gold, ok they have liquidity but this still does not justify the risk and loss of benefit from owning the physical in my mind?

Where am I going wrong?

Why would anyone armed with this information risk their own or anyone else’s money, given its cheaper to own the physical without the counter party risk? I suspect the risks could be quite large with ETFs if FOFOA is correct?

I would love to see you debate this with other interested parties over a table for a hour or two. With other commodities a ETF may work for the majority in normal times but I think Gold could prove to be a exception?

Go right on, Rupert the Red. Anything that will facilitate the ruin of your lie machine and your personal ill gotten gain is A OK with me.

In the USA, it is so clear to many of us that the “transfer of information system” is nothing but a propaganda, mind control lie machine.

“Quality” journalism means truthful accurate relaying of facts. That has been missing in action for well over 50 years.

I do all my reading of the news on the web. The web is being threatened too and the quality of the web journalism is unfortunately going down to, much of the degradation being by deliberate design of those that took down paper and TV journalism.

Congressman Oscar Callaway’s February 8, 1917, Congressional Record article described what happened. (Volume LIV, page 2947). He wrote:

“In March 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests . . . got together 12 men high up in the news- paper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press of the United States.
These 12 men worked the problem out by selecting 179 newspapers, and then began, by an elimination process, to retain only those necessary for the purpose of controlling the general policy of the daily press throughout the country. They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. The 25 papers were agreed upon; emissaries were sent to purchase the policy . . . of these papers; an agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers.”

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manip- ulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.”
