"With the tools of democracy, democracy was murdered and lawlessness made ‘legal.’ Raw power ruled, and its only real goal was to destroy all other powers besides itself.”
Eric Metaxas, Bonhoeffer, April 2010
"They abhor sunlight and love darkness. They deal in innuendo and character assassination, and planted stories, the incomplete thought and sentence. They burn and shred files if caught, they commit perjury, and when caught they have guaranteed sinecures with large US corporations. If you let them, they will take over not only the CIA but the entire government and the world, cutting off dissent, free speech, a free media, and they will cut a deal with anyone, from the Mafia to Saddam Hussein, if it means more power and money. They are ripping off America at a rate never before seen in history. They ruin their detractors and they fear the truth. If they can, they will blackmail you. Sex, drugs, deals, whatever it takes.”
Bruce Hemmings, CIA Officer, as quoted by Whitney Webb, One Nation Under Blackmail, 2022
“It was not curiosity that killed the goose who laid the golden egg, but an insatiable greed that devoured common sense.”

Stocks just meandered around, with a slight bias to the upside.
Gold and silver continued to move higher.
Their recent rallies are powerful. Just look at the charts.
The Dollar continued to drift lower.
VIX is still quiescent.
I enjoy listening to Whitney Webb. It is refreshing to hear someone who is well-informed and scrupulous about saying what is true and what is not, and all the in-between.
You certainly won't find that in the mainstream media, which are most often active enablers or at best, stenographers to power.
People are routinely accepting things today that would have had them outraged in the 1990s.
It will get worse before it gets better.
As Hermann Hesse said, 'As the suffering becomes acute enough, one goes forward.'
I hope I am still around to see that turning of events.
Have a pleasant evening.
