Because the pricing system to which we all adhere is focused on this equation.

My brother: you just do not get it. You are living in a USD-denominated galaxy and that is about as far removed from reality as you can get.

Dollars, Rubles, Yuans, SDRs, etc, do not mean a motherfucking thing.

I would not even wipe my as with any of that toilet paper.: I cannot understand why you can’t divorce yourself from the USD fiat system??? What is your problem?

Why do you even think in terms of X = Y dollars???

The ONLY thing that MATTERS is what an ounce of gold or silver or palladium or platinum or copper or iridium or cobalt etc, will actually put food on your table.

You are talking about esoteric bullshit that means absofuckinglutely nothing to anyone who is interested in living. WTF?

We’ll see… by… mid Nov. 2009.
Maybe… even before that….

King Tut Illya:

If you took some time to exit your pyramid you might notice that we have a new system of exchange in play. The gold-backed currency regime ended when Nixon took the US of the gold standard in 1971. Do you believe the controllers of the currency want to return to a gold exchange system?

You, most probably, won’t be able to retain a viable means of exchange outside EU/IMF control: that is The Plan. If you really look at it logically, gold is fiat in that the gold is only a representation of value placed there by a fiat system operating under criminal control.

You have faith that the outcome will favor Illya. Are you royal?

Illya: you contradict yourself. If the above is true, then the concluding argument should be that dollar pricing is inherently untrustworthy. If ‘most people’ easily comprehend dollar pricing then dollar pricing is most probably a universal and the collapse in the dollar will precipitate a collapse in price “trust” (the result of a hyperinflating currency) by those that comprehend value as a derivative of dollar pricing.

Another words: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

You’re right. In a way. The only reason I use a dollar reference At All is because that’s the only thing people easily comprehend.

I do not give a damn about the $ or any fiat toilet paper except for the fact that I’m paid in Kanadian dollars that I need to immediately convert to something else to hedge against inflation. To keep the product of my physical and mental labour and not have it inflated away by shysters.

3,000 years ago an ounce of gold bought 350 loaves of bread, today it does the same thing. That’s the only point of reference that interests me. If I actually BEAT inflation then that’s merely a bonus.

The zero sum game balance sheet is tilted toward the richest 10,000 or so people on earth controlling and/or owning two-thirds of the wealth. They’re not getting mine.

I watched an interview with Mish Shedlock who takes a view that the dollar is not going to die, next month, next year or for the near future, possibly in ten years plus. He makes the observation that just abot every currency is taking a knock. Apart from the Aussies and Norwegians.

Stacy and Max, some insight please?

Blair may not be EU president after all. Now they can let Polanski go.

The first video about Homo Evolutis is good brain food…
and the onion video is good for a laugh…
I’m still digesting the article’s implications…
Maybe you’ll taste it differently…
