An appropriate Word for today:
Be active, be diligent, always
discerning in all you do.
Do not put away discernment.
Do not put away the sword of
discernment as you walk
out your day.
Be ever vigilant.
Be ever open to the insight I give.
Know I AM always there.
Rely on Me, trust in Me.
Be the blessing that you are.
In about 45 minutes, you can get an idea of the drama concerning gold and silver.
The following provides an independent view of the recent history of gold, the manipulation of the price of silver, and the leasing of gold:
If there is anything that is empowering, it is getting rid of the clutter. How many times have we had to wade through a bunch of junk in search of a missing item. Man’s current system promotes complexity and sophistication and an infrastructure to support its continued use.
Does the current, complex system promote longevity? The following clip would suggest the opposite to be true:
Jiroemon Kimura, the oldest living man in the world, turns 116 today, and he plans to have a modest celebration with his family in his Japanese home. Kimura was born on April 19, 1897 – one year before the start of the Spanish-American War. The supercentenarian from Japan’s Kyoto Prefecture in central Japan, worked as a mail carrier until his retirement when he was 65. Afterward, he reportedly worked as a farmer until he was 90. Not only is Kimura the oldest person in the world, but he is the oldest Asian man ever and the last-known man to have lived across three centuries, according to Guinness World Records. The secret to Kimura’s longevity may be in his habits – he gets up early, reads the newspaper every day and never misses a meal.
Everybody wants to go to Heaven but no one wants to go too soon. We all want to live in excellent health until the day of our appointed departure. Here is a man who at the age of 65 began a career in farming and continued for 25 years. What was his comment when he turned 115 last year? “It is all thanks to the grace of GOD,” Kimura said. “I have nothing but gratitude for the life I’ve been given.”
Grace and gratitude. There was nothing about the trappings of life, new technology, or other temporal things. From all appearances, he lived a “low maintenance” life.
When it is all said and done, what will we reflect on as we reach the fullness of age? What will people say about us? Will we look back and find that we did nothing for others and were simply a burden or will we reflect on how we enriched others throughout our life?
Start giving away the clutter that isn’t junk. Find someone who can use it. Trash the rest. Clean out your closet, your garage, your mind. The Gospel is simple. You don’t need to make it complicated to the point of being unattainable. Complexity breeds separation. Simplicity promotes unity. Don’t let your ego separate you from those who love you. Become a giver and cease from sucking the life out of others. Quit exploiting the gifts and callings of others but instead give into their lives. Life really isn’t that complicated.

From John Williams’ Shadowstats.com:
Gold Strength Has Been Fundamental, Not Speculative,
and Unavoidable Fundamentals Promise Much Higher Gold Prices

I recommend a subscription for those who want the detail. He is the most credible source of government statistics that I know of.
I suspect there may be another attempt to slam the price of gold down to the $1,250 range. If I were on the other side, that is exactly what I would do in an attempt to further frustrate the holders of gold and the related stocks. As you can see from the above statistics, the economy is not improving thus there is no “fundamental” reason for the price of gold to decline.
I plan to be a buyer of precious metal stocks if that occurs and I have some cash to spare. If it does occur, I want to personally thank the other side for providing these purchases at such discount. I thoroughly enjoy a sale!

What’s up with this? 16 earthquakes in two days (4/16/13-4/17/13). It must be Love!
I agree.
They will do whatever they can to save their fiat currencies.
By my best reckoning, we are in the midst of a Dollar Bubble. It is difficult to be inside a bubble and comprehend the magnitude of the problem for everything looks rather calm from the inside looking out. Once the bubble bursts, chaos ensues.
Financial repression has become a way of life here. My parents earned 5% at a minimum on their passbook savings for decades. Now, you must take notable risks to get the same return on your money. My parents’ generation were born in the 1920’s and 30’s when people had virtually nothing. They had one pair of shoes for special occasions and often walked barefooted the rest of the time. Today, our closets are loaded with shoes and we think nothing of it. They were savers, my generation has a pathetic track record of saving. We are a generation known by excess consumption. My generation will expect the government to sustain the quality of life we have grown accustomed to. The baby boomers elected officials who knew how to schmooze us by tickling our ears with promises that can never be fulfilled.
Our economy is based on a lie. When Nixon closed the gold window in 1971, we began the lie. Our currency, once supreme, was now on a road of depreciation. Our manufacturing prowess was second to none. CEO’s figured out how to slide greed into the corporate way of thinking by moving manufacturing out of the U.S. and pumping up profits… and their bonuses. Globalization was promoted and the disparity would soon pull values downward. The era of consumption will end abruptly.
Long-term energy supply will not sustain the current global growth rate even with intermittent slowdowns. People want to travel, stay warm, stay cool, and have nicer houses. It all takes energy. Long-term demand exceeds long-term supply yet the price of oil slides. This is based on manipulation in the futures market. High prices encourage conservation but greed could care less. I wonder who will cut down the last tree?
Banks are run by “felons” who are too important to the system to prosecute. They have effectively been given amnesty for any acts of fraud as they continue to run global bank operations. The banking system is currently in power. Yes, they are too big to fail.
In the past week, the banks have obliged the central planners by attacking the canary in the cage- gold. Why would the focus be on such a small market relative to other sectors of the economy? This is the one sector tied to money, the medium of exchange. They are trying to manipulate the reality that gold reflects value. For centuries, gold has done its job against all odds. Men have tried to replace it with their own creations but it has continued its job as time marches on. This time will be no different. Gold and silver will once again survive man’s attempt to eliminate its function. The canary will survive and alert us that the bubble is on the verge of bursting. When it does, we will need to be grounded in Love. Maybe that is why Our Heavenly Father had a guy with a financial calling to focus on this subject. Hmmm!
All is well, don’t worry, by happy!
The Agents of the “current powers that be” continue to pound away at the price of gold, silver, and the related stocks. If one did not buy on margin, then the losses only occur if you sell out, and that is the hope of those who are pushing down the price.
Has the macroeconomic picture improved to cause a flight from gold & silver? No, each day moves us closer to an epic negative economic event.
In the early 80’s, we purchase a property on the Gulf of Mexico. The late 80’s cause property prices to lose 65% of their value. However, in 1996 we sold the property for 2.8 times of our original purchase price. Was it a good deal? Yes. Did it look ugly in the late 80’s? Absolutely. If you have never experienced a swing in prices, it can be unnerving. A little gray hair with some experience behind it helps when major events are unfolding. Some look fearful, I am looking at my next purchase (as soon as I get some more cash).
In a recent interview, Richard Russell, a well-known investment newsletter writer said:
“What do billionaires Warren Buffet, John Paulson, and George Soros know that you and I don’t know? I don’t have the answer, but I do know what these billionaires are doing. They, all three, are selling consumer-oriented stocks. Buffett has been a cheerleader for US stocks all along. “
Shares of Johnson and Johnson, Kraft, Procter and Gamble, Intel. GM, IBM, Sara Lee, JP Morgan, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs were all listed as being sold by one or more of these billionaires. It the future was bright, these guys would be adding to their positions, not reducing or eliminating them.
This would indicate that these three are not optimistic about the recovery in the U.S. They have been right more often than most.
