I don't watch much TV. Never wore a Covid mask, just caught it twice and seemed to develop some immunity after the 1st. No desire for my Covid 1st experience to happen, but I'll take it over gout in my knee any day of the week.

So your fascination with my Covid status is what? An attempt to change the topic from the question "Exactly HOW uninformed must someone be to think whales are proof that evolution is wrong"?

Oh yeah...followed by...."Please take my word for what collapse is because I don't know much about that either and couldn't give you a definition to save my life, let alone discuss said defintion in the context of today".

I mean really Armie, you didn't go to some of those "special" Missouri schools did you? That would explain alot.

I’m not going to debate evolution, but I’ll make a couple points. There has never been or never will be a transitional fossil found showing any species changing kinds. There should be millions and millions, but there’s none. End of debate. Don’t respond, because I won’t.

Corrected your statement for you. Hell, YOU CAN'T DEFINE COLLAPSE!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', '
') There has never been or never will be a transitional fossil found showing any species changing kinds. There should be millions and millions, but there’s one. End of debate. Don’t respond, because I won’t can't.


Fixed that for you as well. For starters, what in the HELL is "any species changing KINDS"? What the hell is a kind? Did you mean to say "genus" and realized that you'd need first a dictionary to figure out what it was and then you would have to LEARN something? Was this taught to you in your special public school or at church, and their indoctrination schools?

Anyway, no need for me to educate the uneducated, all you need to do is, after you look up the definition of collapse so you can parrot it here, is go check out Richard Dawkins.

Gaps in the fossile record aren't the issue. It is just the bait that the religious nutters use...and then their acoltyes say even dumber shit....like whales are proof of disqualification of the entire idea....why according to our local anti-science poster? BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BIG!!!

Gold is surging because the government is losing its ability to hide economic reality.

There’s a reason every Fiat system in history has collapsed.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', 'G')old is surging because the government is losing its ability to hide economic reality.

Gold was surging when I bought it in the early 80's. The economic reality of the time was an improving economy coming out of stagflation.

So we know your education didn't include critical thinking, how evolution works or ANYTHING about logic, reasoning, investing, economics or oil and gas, but JESUS Missouri couldn't teach you dick about history either?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', '
')There’s a reason every Fiat system in history has collapsed.


China has a long history with paper money, beginning in the 7th century CE. During the 11th century, the government established a monopoly on its issuance, and about the end of the 12th century, convertibility was suspended.[17] The use of such money became widespread during the subsequent Yuan and Ming dynasties.[18]

Good thing some last for millennum then. You know Armie, you really need to check what you "know", particularly when you use the word "every", in order to not look like the kind of person who doesn't know much at all....about science, evolution, fiat currencies, peak oil, or when to invest in PMs unlike us clever folk who did it by accident.


PS: Hint to the ignorant or those who can't learn as adults....Wiki occasionally does know stuff not taught in Missouri public schools, because no one is limited to being as ignorant as your state wants you to be.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', 'I')s it possible that Adam believe his own nonsense? Or is it parody acct?


There are many trolls on these forums, you can always tell one by the fact that they offer up no original content but just go from post to post needling people with straw-man attacks. I have several on my ignore list so I don't have to view the content. In a way their behavior is a mirror of what's inside these people's heads, they are at odds with the world, trapped in deep cognitive dissonance. Many are democrat voters, believing in the policies promoting transgenderism and the mass immigration of criminals while also realizing their communities are being destroyed by the same. You have millions of entitled feminists promoting the rights of muslims even thought a primary tenet of that religion is the enslavement of women, the ultimate patriarchal sexists. How can these two beliefs exist in a person's head without them going insane? These women are literally screwed in the brain.

I was talking to a neighbor just yesterday about the phenomena, I told him not to try and wake these people up because they will resent it and possibly turn on you, blaming you. After all that is their signature trait, why they all suffer from trump derangement syndrome. They are desperately looking for "someone" to blame. I told him that they are some of the most dangerous people on the planet because of their stupidity. Stupid people can't be reasoned with, facts mean nothing to them.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('careinke', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', 'I')’m not wrong, just early. The outcome will be the same. We are at the beginning stages of either a collapse or a currency reset. Something is coming, evident by govts and central banks rushing to gold.


My guess/bet is a world wide currency reset. To BTC.

Peace


Ah. While more likely that the "analysis" of our members that can't define collapse and have been praying for it for 2 decades, BTC wouldn't be my guess/bet. Not enough people, yet, who are wiling to use investment/financial instruments as "value" as opposed to stacks of cash. IMHO, I don't pretend to get the BTC thing, being one of those old fuddy duddys who does transactions over here there, and investments over here.

Leaving Fantasy and Trolls behind

BRICS Gold-Backed Currency Emerges as Alternative to US Dollar
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he BRICS gold-backed currency development has been gaining momentum right now, and member nations are actually building infrastructure for trade settlements that can bypass dollar systems. When will BRICS currency be released remains under discussion at the time of writing, with some analysts suggesting a potential BRICS currency 2026 timeline.


How Would a New BRICS Currency Affect the US Dollar?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A') BRICS currency was a topic at the 2024 BRICS Summit that took place October 22 to 24 in Kazan, Russia. At the summit, the BRICS nations continued their discussions of creating a potentially gold-backed currency, known as the "Unit," as an alternative to the US dollar.

De-dollarization: What the Shift Means for Gold Investors
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')ill Central Banks Abandon the Dollar?
As BRICS nations determine alternatives to dollar dominance, a quiet revolution unfolds in central bank vaults worldwide - one measured in tonnes of gold rather than Federal Reserve digits. The recent expansion of BRICS membership and accelerated discussions around alternative payment systems represent more than diplomatic theater; they signal fundamental shifts in global capital flows that are systematically rewiring precious metals demand.

The numbers tell an unmistakable story. Central bank gold purchases surged to multi-decade highs in 2024, with emerging market monetary authorities leading an unprecedented accumulation drive. This institutional demand differs qualitatively from retail investment flows - it's persistent, price-insensitive, and driven by strategic rather than speculative motivations. Unlike ETF investors who chase momentum, central banks view gold as essential monetary infrastructure for a multipolar world.

It's coming boys and girls, it's coming.

Absolutely. Every day in America people commit suicide. Because they reached their breaking point. But it isn't required to have anything to do with being disappointed that some Americans are religious fruitcakes and don't know anything about evolution.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', '

Always have been. A moderator at this site committed suicide because he was suckered in by the halfwits and ignorant fools who sold him a pig in a poke. Not all of them from Missouri of course, but I don't doubt your state is well represented.

So now you want to use normal human behavior and poor economic outlooks as an excuse for...<fill in the blank>?

They have lost the middle east, Iran, Iraq even, and Saudi Arabia joined the BRICS. China has Africa sewn up with deals going out decades. It's as was predicted by analysts long ago, the US is retreating to it's own sphere of influence, but even there it is meeting China.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')ept 4 (Reuters) - The first new floating facility to produce crude at a $1 billion project operated by China Concord Resources Corp in Venezuela has arrived in Lake Maracaibo, the country's second largest output region, according to two sources and images.
The Chinese company, known as CCRC, is moving to ramp up output at two key oilfields in western Venezuela - Lago Cinco and Lagunillas Lago


The US is all bluster now, it failed in Cuba, what hope has it here without a massive preemptive military invasion. No government takes them seriously now, Not even Australia.

India is BRICS, but they were wavering on trying to stick it to the US. After the recent tariffs, they are 100% BRICS. They even started selling UST.
