  1. Alasdair Macleod has a dit about the house/gold ratio during the Weimar hyperinflation around 1923. He cites a case in which a six bedroom house in a well-to-do part of Berlin, could be had for six ounces of gold.

  4. patty sizer Indeed. So many people looking at this as if it were an event that could prove troublesome for a few months more perhaps. My take: I live on a small island along with around 67 million other people. There are few natural resources. The only thing that came to allow so many to live alongside each other in peace, was the ability to trade freely, to work and to contribute to the collective purse. The restriction on the workings of that system are, with little or no media recognition, being kept firmly in place regardless of intermittent 'easings'. Due to this gradual silent decline, the supply lines are steadily being wound-down. People are being made powerless and in need. The consequences of this ongoing situation are likely to lead to great strife and violence.

  5. Seems that there is a bit of a generation thing going on. I'm old and not too bright, so as would be expected, the crypto stuff takes some grasping. The main bugbear I have is that we none of us know just how changed our situation might become; this year surely gives the nod to that point. There are not many people left now, who know how bad things can get. The rest of us - in the developed world that is - have been so lucky to have known only surety - we could laugh at the oldies with the massed tins of corned beef tucked away. We knew that our politicians, flakey and specious that they might have been, had to connive within a system that had to look after us, and it did because things always got better. With 2020 showing us that all that is gone and that we are expendable in great and visible number, we might through habit still cling to hopes for the best but more realistically we should plan for the worst and in that worst of worlds my laptop has been taken at knifepoint and anyway, the power is down and don't even dream of a return to being allowed a broadband link. In such a world I can't go to the fields and dig my digital wallet up to buy bread. Yes I know, eternal paranoia. But they've started it.

  11. Kevin Osborne Well, six months ago I would have said that same thing. This channel taught me there's a bit more to it than that.

  12. I don't own Bitcoin but I sincerely hope it progresses to be a viable means of fiat-free, international transaction. The Russia/India arrangement looks to be tailor-made for Bitcoin to provide an answer. Why would the two countries not take it on board?

  14. Well said on the state of the hospitality trade - allowed to re-open as long as it makes sure that pubs and restaurants greet customers as though they might be carrying weapons-grade plutonium. So many people I know have just decided to eat and drink at home or in the homes of friends. This is the latest clever stunt whereby the government can act as though normality can make its way back, when the reality of it is that small/medium businesses are forced to remain essentially unviable

  15. By way of thanks in response to your stated motivation at the intro' here, for starting and maintaining this channel. I only stumbled across a video of yours around 6 months ago. I am older than you and have spent my whole working life totally unaware of the pernicious way that the bankers and government between them, conspire to cheat and rob people of the money they have after surviving the various tax hurdles. I had heard the term 'fiat currency' but had no notion of its meaning and its workings. I had heard of people who had gold sovereigns as they were handed down to a couple of my friends from grandparents, and although envious, I regarded the whole business as a bit odd and simply outdated and unnecessary. How wrong I was! I now range across a few other channels which deal in matters monetary, to take in wider ideas; however, this is the only one I tune into every day - not least for the book recommends and the occasional history (Bastia and the Austrian school especially). Great work, again thanks.

  16. Council Tax. Originally the "Poll Tax". Prior to that we had "Rates". Under the old Rates, the highest rated housing was charged at x40 that of the lowest rated. With the inception of Thatcher's Council Tax, that ratio became x16

  17.  @Zanota85  Not all of a sudden, but by stages. Public access to fuel has already started to be restricted by the recent price rises - that will continue. A catastrophic collapse is precisely what the powers-that-be would want. What better way to make people accept tyrannical rule?

  20. ruster719 Sounds surprisingly sensible. Doesn't sit well with his being fully on-board with the climate crisis nonsense.

  21.  @AllodialTitle  Scares me too. The really worrying thing is how many people are looking to 'the vaccine' as if it's some kind of salvation from this oppression. They don't seem to be capable of looking beyond their own affairs to realise what is being assembled around them.

  23. This interview takes things up a gear, Mario. Great to learn of the wider references/philosophy that Brecht brings in. I would really like to hear you interview Alasdair Macleod, Gerald Celente and Gregory Mannarino.

  24. None of what the Fed is doing to the dollar would be possible without a fabricated narrative concerning a 'virus' for which there is still no proof. I'm not a medical expert so I listen to people who are. One of these is Dr Sam Bailey who has produced a comprehensive explanation of how we are the victims of the biggest scam in history. https://odysee.com/@drsambailey:c/Once-Upon-A-Time-in-Wuhan-Odysee-Exclusive-Comp:2

  29. Given the potential of our downward spiral into societal chaos, the question any responsible stacker has to ask is: if it gets to the really bad stuff, would you rather try and drive out to a safer place, through the road blocks amid total lawlessness with $10,000 worth of gold up the old rusty bullethole or $10,000 worth of silver?

  33. Rod Panhard Exactly. I said as much to a table of friends in the pub the other night, to be told I worry too much and that, come June 21st the whole thing is down and dead. We shall see.

  34. Just on a short break in Scotland. Unbelievable the extent to which restrictions are still in place and still people going along with it all as if they're on some kind of 'all in it together' mission to starve the virus of hosts and thereby exterminate it. Walking the streets of two towns and they are like palliative care homes - so many recently vacated shops with the windows whited-out. Just a general air of emptiness with no concern shown as to where we might be headed from here. Boldly scrawled poster in a house window: "Stay safe, stay home". We can only wonder how long they have stayed home and how long they plan to keep themselves tucked safely in their little box until someone comes to put them in a smaller one and carry them away.

  40. Jake Bullet Egg Zackly my friend. My greatest regret is that I hadn't been woken to this reality until this year and my stumbling on maneco64's literally, nuggets, of wisdom. Amazing and dispiriting that, having been enlightened myself, so many of my friends and family seem to think I'm bullshitting them when I try to bring them into the shiny fold.

  45. Interesting how - in a world of so many organisations whose members meet in secrecy in order to seize and maintain power over the economies that rule the lives of so many people - that the phrase 'conspiracy theory' is such a widely used term of derogation.
