01.18.14- Finance is the art of passing money from hand to hand As the editor of the Silver Bear Cafe, I spend most of my time researching current events. I explore the markets, the economic war that is being waged on the middle class, precious metals, the Federal Reserve, energy, and how to go about surviving financially. In this weekly column I will attempt to condense the week's events and examine how the news might affect your pocketbook. - JSB While sitting here, perusing the menu at the Silver Bear Cafe, I find that many of the menu items are composed of the same ingredients. The role that Precious Metals play, on the world's stage, is very much involved in the percieved price of Energy. There has always been a notable divergence between the value of oil, priced in gold, for instance, and the value of oil, priced in dollars (Federal Reserve Notes). It is my contention that this divergence would be much much greater if the price of gold wasn't artificially and criminally suppressed. In the absence of suppression, the price, when quoted on the various exchanges, would be substantially higher. So far, in 2014, I have attempted to highlight the importance of Energy to our Financial Survival. I have explored how we are affected, not only by the obvious, its price and availability, but also, by its role as the harbinger of our standard of living, because that standard relies so heavily on the acceptance of our currency by the rest of the world, as its "reserve currency". I have explored how and why this acceptance is crucial to allowing the ongoing and self serving machinations of the Federal Reserve. When considered in this light, it becomes apparent as to what would motivate the Fed to orchestrate the suppression of the price of gold (and silver). Gold would/will obviously provide, not only a competitive medium to FRNs, but a superior one. When the world finally wakes up to the fact that the present "petro dollar system" is is simply a means for the Fed to economically ravage the citizens of the earth, the citizens will be pissed. They have been "kept in the dark", as to the nature of the Fed's insidious ruse, in part, through the suppression of Precious Metal's prices. In order to succeed, this gold price suppression scheme has necessitated "reaching out" and involves complicit and criminal politicians, as well as complicit and criminal banksters. Between the banksters and the politicians, through immoral, unethical and unconstitutional legislation, the illegality of their actions has been, in many cases, made legal. For some, even murder is no longer a crime. This week it was announced that Iran and Russia have agreed to exchange one-half-million barrels of oil, a day, in return for Russian equipment and goods. The exchange of Middle Eastern oil for anything but dollars since 1973, has been met with extreme prejudice by the American Government, via the military, working at the behest of the owners of the Federal Reserve. This is the second time, in recent history, that the actions of Putin's Russia have diametrically opposed the wishes of Washington. When the rest of Europe refused to align themselves with Obama's planned Syrian invasion last fall, it was a blow, not only to American hegemony, but also to Washington's relation with the terrorist nation of Saudi Arabia. This most recent agreement between Iran and Russia provides a giant step towards the dismantling of the "oil for dollars ploy". So now we can connect the dots between the Federal Reserve, Energy, Precious Metals, and Financial Survival. That only leave two areas concerning "how current events will affect your pocket book" on the menu. Those two areas are Financial Markets and Economic War. This week, let's discuss the Economic War. There is, and has been, a war being waged, not only on middle class Americans (a fact that is easily documentable) but also on middle class persons everywhere. This, in fact, was the topic of my first essay after having awakened and having created "the Bear". The emergence, much less the flourishing, of a "middle class", anywhere, is absolutely contrary to the preposed ascension of a "royal caste" to power. So long as there have been "those that would be kings" (perhaps for as long as there have been we the people) a war has been waged. In the last three hundred years these wars have been waged against the middle classes of entire nations. Here is an excerpt of that first essay entitled "Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness":
Because "the Dark Side" can create money out of thin air, they obviously do not consider it valuable. What is valuable to them is the human toil required to provide the bogus interest on the bogus debt. What is, and has always been, at stake in this war is your standard of life. The fact that "those who would be kings" are so adamant about stealing from you your standard of life, is what, in my opinion, makes them evil. Most of us do not wish to acknowledge this theft. Most of us have been placated, and dumbed down, sufficiently, to not resist, but rather give in to our subjugation. That is why I refer to most of us as sheeple. The Darkside and their minions are thieves. When I say thieves, what, exactly, do I mean. The following paragraph documents only one among dozens of ploys that the Darkside has, so far, employed to steal your future. Prior to 1964, American coined dollars, halves, quarters and dimes were ninety percent silver. In 1963 you could by a gallon of gas with a quarter. Today you can buy almost two gallons of gas with a 1963 quarter. Gasoline is close to half as expensive as it was in 1963. Consequently the stuff you use to buy the gasoline today provides only a fraction of the purchasing power that it did in 1963. The difference between then and now is a result of theft. Under L.B.J.s watch, the American Government was bribed into taking the precious metal out of the coinage in order to allow the Fed to more easily steal your wealth through the erosion of your buying power (inflation). If it wasn't for the Federal Reserve, the price of everything would continually go down, instead of up. The standard of life, for everyone, would get better, not worse. The amount of time you would have to spend coping with the trials and tribulations of existence would be greatly reduced. The quality of your trappings would be greatly increased. The standard of your life would be exponentially better. If the Dark Side hadn't debased the value of the coinage, a person working for $5.00 an hour would have the purchasing power of what amounts to $100.00 an hour today...twenty silver quarters = $5.00. A silver quarter is worth approximately $5.00 today. If you worked eight hours a day, five days a week, fifty-two weeks a year, for $5.00 an hour, you would be making $9600.00 before taxes. But consider how much less you would be paying in taxes if you only made $9600.00 per year. Meanwhile, your income would have the purchasing power of almost $200,000.00. We (the middle class) would be so much better off, and all these stupid wars and stupid bailouts and parasitic thieves would not be possible. I struggle trying to figure out why we, as a Nation, have allowed this to happen here. I am obsessed with the Federal Reserve because it is the tool, through which the Darkside is availed the ability to ply their trade which is to indenture as slaves all members of the middle classes everywhere. They are the root of all evil in the world. We must strike the root. Conclusion You must first realize that there are, present in our lives, enemies. You must then know who those enemies are, and act accordingly. Eliminate as much debt as possible, especially variable rate debt, such as credit cards and lines of credit. Interest rates will be rising, so the elimination of debt offers a real return of escaping rising rates by creditors. Get some control over some fresh water. If you are depending exclusively on Social Security, stop. Follow the course opposite to custom and you will almost always do well... Its not what you don't know that will screw you up, it's what you are absolutely sure of that is absolutely wrong. The spin you hear from the mainstream media is intended to mislead you. Open your eyes and face the future. If you leave your head in the sand and ignore it, you are only leaving your butt exposed for the world to kick. This all may sound like gloom and doom, but when you get a handle on what is going to happen, you will have a future filled with opportunity. Fortune favors the Informed. More next week... May the Great Spirit be with you always, Johnny
