They’ll keep inflating, causing GDP and the stock market to look great and claim the economy is booming.

Meanwhile, 70% of Americans don’t have $1000 to their name.

Well BTC isn't at an all time high, it's 3 months past that. Big Macs are at an all time high though, in the last 30 days aussie Gold has gained $463/oz, or 42 Big macs!

Clearly big macs have to get smaller, lighter, if they hope to maintain the same price. They are already full on non-meats, cheeks and lips, the scrapings from inside the hoofs. It's all 100% Beef like in their ads though.

Do you honestly think this family eats McDonalds? Could you imagine them even preparing their own food!

When Empires Die

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'G')reat countries are built upon traditional values – industriousness, self-reliance, honour, etc. But empires are distinctly different. Although it may seem to be a moot point, an empire is a great country whose traditional values have led it to become unusually prosperous. There are many countries, both large and small, that are “great” in their formative values, but only a few become empires... but a great country becomes an empire only when its prosperity is sufficient to allow it to branch out – to invade other lands – to plunder their assets and subjugate their peoples.

We tend to grasp, through hindsight, that this is what made the Roman Empire possible. And we accept that the Spanish Empire was created through its invasion of the Americas and the plundering of pre-Columbian gold. And we understand that the tiny island of Britain achieved its empire by covering the world with colonies that it had taken by force. In every case, the pattern was the same – expand, conquer, plunder, dominate.

Teddy Roosevelt, was insatiable in his desire to conquer foreign lands, both near (Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Panama, Puerto Rico, Cuba) and far (Hawaii, Philippines, Japan).

The results of his efforts were mostly successful, and although the countries taken were not called colonies, they were certainly intended to be vassal states. And there can be no question the US government’s methods were no kinder than that of the Huns. Some locations, like Hawaii, went fairly peacefully, whilst others, like the Philippines, required brutal slaughter on a grand scale...

At present, the US empire maintains an illusion of dominance, but it cannot withstand a test. A defeat in warfare, a collapse in finance, the loss of the dollar’s reserve currency status, or any one of a host of triggers that are now looming would be sufficient to drop the US to one knee overnight. All that’s needed is for one of the triggers to be pulled.

It matters little what the event will be; it’s sufficient to understand that we are now drawing quite near and that the event is unavoidable. Historically, when an empire dies, all the notes suddenly come due.
The political class of any empire arrogantly depends upon allies to do as they’re told, yet, when a decisive blow is dealt to the empire, those who had once been loyal allies are now as ready to abandon the empire as rats would abandon a sinking ship.

Where is the Grasberg Copper mine?



Come on, it's one of the largest Copper mines in the World! And produces a lot of Gold.
It's in Western Papua, Indonesia. Way up in the mountains.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n what Goldman's commodity team dubbed a "black swan event", copper mining giaint Freeport-McMoRan declared force majeure on contracted supplies from its giant Grasberg mine in Indonesia, the second-largest source of the metal, sending prices of the metal soaring.

The US company also cut its copper and gold sales guidance for the quarter, now seeing 4% lower copper sales and 6% lower for gold than July 2025 estimates - as it continues to search for five missing workers following an accident at the site two weeks ago. Two employees are confirmed to have died following a flow of about 800,000 metric tons of mud into Grasberg’s underground levels.

Hard assets are going to be key in this new global paradigm shift.

Drumroll please... Gold, $5,792 aussie. The price has doubled in just two years
That's better than Bitcoins performance over the past 4 years

Naturally that's going from top to top, no need to cherry pick BTC at one of its gut wrenching lows. That's the BS way of doing it.

A Tsunami of Capital Is About to Move Into Gold
by Phoenix Capital Research
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')s I keep emphasizing, a tectonic shift is taking place in the financial system.

For decades, the dominant theme for portfolio composition was 60/40, meaning investors should allocate 60% of their portfolio to stocks and 40% to bonds. This was literally the gold standard for asset allocation used by Wall Street, financial advisors, and even hedge funds (Ray Dalio’s famed Bridgewater hedge fund was based on this structure).

Not anymore.

For the first time in over half a century, major financial institutions are beginning to advocate allocating capital to precious metals. Mike Wilson the CIO at Morgan Stanley is now advocating for a 60/20/20 allocation: 60% stocks, 20% bonds, and 20% precious metals...
