How Can I Miss You if You Won't Go Away?
Johnny Silver Bear
The obvious lack of regulation has left, undefended, the freedom saving tenets of the rights to private property. We didn't get here by accident. Choices were made by some very wealthy and powerful people. Alas, under the ruse of "political correctness", the sheeple have willingly lined up for their fleecing, distracted by the attraction of bread (snap cards and other federal subsidies) and circuses (never ending wars and false flag terrorism).

For the last seven years, I have spent almost all of my time trying to get a handle on the "big picture". The "little pictures" are made up of effects, and sometimes causes, but rarely motives. Its funny how all the "little pictures" don't always coalesce into a greater understanding until, all at once, the truth becomes blatently obvious and undeniable.In my attempt to determine "motives" I needed to assertain the true meaning of "real wealth".

The Boiling Frog Syndrome goes something like this: "If you throw a frog into a pot of boiling water, he will jump out. But if you place a frog into a pot of cold water and and turn the heat on low, it will float there quite placidly. As the water gradually heats up, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot tub, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled to death. Now I'm not sure this really works with frogs, (I couldn't bring my self to find out), but I am certain that it works with people. I believe that we are all sitting in a big pot and the water is beginning to boil. MORE

if by Land I have received quite a few emails in response to my recent article, "Light a Candle". In that articleI suggested that, as a result of a pandemic national apathy, "the Game" was overwhelmingly in the control of "the Dark Side". I posed a question near the end; "What purpose would a revolution serve. Who among us has a solution?" MORE

Preservation
...Johnny Silver Bear
(Editor's Note: We recently received an email from a reader who voiced the same concerns that I expect most of our readership shares, about their retirement savings and how to best secure their assets and deal with the demise of empire. You folks are fortunate in that you have awakened and realized that there was something very, very rotten going on. There is still time to do something. In an attempt to answer her questions, I found my self slipping in to one of my rants. I decided to post it for you all to enjoy. - JSB) .MORE

Today is Saturday, October 22th, 2011. We are quickly approaching the tenth anniversary of the Silver Bear Cafe which will come in January, 2012. Over the last ten years your editor has scoured, sourced, verified, formatted, re-formatted, adorned, posted and archived over twenty thousand essays and articles from the minds of gracious free thinking pundits around the globe. Most of these patriots are ignored by the mainstream media (an industry that, coincidentally, happens to be owned by the "Darkside"). MORE
Silver is as important a strategic commodity as oil. The need for a supply of silver in times of war is so essential, that a shortage of the metal could pose dire consequences to continued well being of our country. With the evolution of technology, silver has become so important, that a lack of it will adversely affect America's national security. Meanwhile, as a result of the collusion between industrial users, central bankers, the Commodity Futures Trade Commission, the Chicago Board of Trade, and government regulators, spanning the past fifty years, inventories have all but disappeared.

The Patriotic and Moral Imperative for Owning Gold and Silver
...Johnny Silver Bear I pledge allegiance to the flag...Remember when you learned those words? It was back when everything was simple. The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, the circulation manager of the Boston based "The Youth's Companion" magazine. The end of the Nineteenth Century was a much simpler time. The world was a much simpler place. It not so simple anymore. When we recite those seemingly patriotic words, what are we really pledging our allegiance to? To the flag? To the United States? To the Republic for which it stands? MORE

And Whether Pigs Have Wings, Part Deux: Those Who Would Be Kings...
...Johnny Silver Bear (Editor's Note: In Part 1, Something Wicked This Way Comes, we discussed the "Dumbing Down of America" and I tried to provide examples of the effectiveness of the campaign. Most do not realize that they fall directly in the cross hairs "of those who would be kings". As I pointed out in a previous essay, Paradise Lost:"We are not being shepherded by altruistic wise men, but, rather, herded by megalomaniacal desperadoes." It would be one thing if we had any leadership (which we don't). If we had leaders that actually served their constituencies, and did what they could to insure our safety and well being, and the safety and well being of our children and their children... but we don't. Rather than looking out for our best interests, they are looking out for what they perceive to be their own best interests. They have been corrupted. Corrupted absolutely. Once corrupted, one cannot become uncorrupted. It is too late to save them. They all need to be put down. MORE
And Whether Pigs Have Wings, Part Three: When the Bough Breaks...
...Johnny Silver Bear
In this installment, I will attempt to summarize what I believe is going to happen in the next twelve months. Prophesy is tricky business. What I am about to lay out is even more tenuous than usual, in that, if I am right, and all hell does break loose, the best that can happen (for me) is the ability to say "I told you so" which will do neither me, nor you any good. The worst that can happen (for me) is that I fall victim to the Darkside along with many of my compatriots, as retribution for championing the truth and abetting their opposition. The only rational motive that I could have for making such a prophesy, is the hope that, given the consideration that some of these events may take place, some of you might be better prepared. MORE
If the Good Lord's Willing and the Creek Don't Rise...
Johnny Silver Bear
The world is changing rapidly. The hegemonic nature of American Empire is being sabotaged by the refusal, by many other sovereigns, to continue subsidizing the U.S. Leviathan. When the bond market finally collapses, and the politicians can no longer buy a vote with a snap card, the "pretend" economy will cease to function. This should not be construed as an attack on the dollar, by many other countries, but rather as an "end run" around it. MORE

I am becoming increasingly concerned with the probability that, due to a festering lack of the Rule of Law, middle class American's pension funds, retirement accounts, bank accounts, and other forms of private property are at risk of criminal confiscation. MORE
Beware of false knowledge;
it is more dangerous than ignorance. ...Johnny Silver Bear
Unfortunately, through an insidious misinformation campaign, we have been duped by those whose wealth and position have allowed them to be tempted by, and then to succumb to, the lure of avarice and greed. They have decided that anything less than everything is not enough. "The Dark Side" has thwarted the essence of capitalism by engineering the demise of the Gold Standard. Through their incipient use of "political puppets" they have, over the course of the last two hundred years, finally succeeded in channeling the wealth and property, which comes as a result of human toil, into their coffers. The producers and savers of our county, it's life blood, are being methodically fleeced. Soon, the last meaningful productive job in America will be exported to China. On that day American society will become a zoo, and we, as citizens, will be reduced to the station of animals in a cage, totally dependent on the zoo-keepers for our food and shelter. MORE

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." - Carl Sagan MORE
There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men
Given that our country's leading (most popular) economist is Paul Krugman, whose accolades include a Nobel Prize, and given that Mr. Krugman is a Keynesian, we can confidently surmise that, generally speaking, the current state of the practice of economics in our country (and the world, for that matter) is dismal. It was comforting to have Mr. Kaletsky provide the basic questions of economics distilled into a single paragraph: MORE
Don't be Afraid to Take a Big Step; You Can't Cross a Chasm in Two Hops.
This week I am using my "Bully Pulpit" to clarify some statements I made during an interview with Chris Duane. - JSB We are getting very close, economically speaking, to catastrophic collapse. I know I've been saying this for years, but back then, I thought it was years off. Now I think it might be months, or even weeks. There is an ongoing debate as to whether the collapse will be the result of a willful conspiracy by "those who would be kings" or the result of the actions of out of control morons. As stated by Mark Twain , oh so many years ago: "I often wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who put us on, or imbeciles who really mean it." I have been predicting the day when the general population will wake up as a result of a swift kick in the butt and a slap in the face. This, unfortunately, will not be a cathartic awakening, as those slapped will have no clue as to where the blow comes from, or who did it, or why. The will be no solutions available to those who still think everything is beautiful. Long time readers have been preparing for this event for a while. I believe that it will take, even the most aware of us, by surprise in various respects. Very few have experienced the reaction of the mindless minions to chaos. Coming soon to a neighborhood near you. But, on a happy note, along with the bad comes opportunity. It is the best time in the last eight months to buy silver. MORE
A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on Paul's Support
Having monitored the global financial markets for the last twelve years, on a daily basis, I can only say, the stinky stuff has finally hit the mixmaster. As a global society, we have been woefully remiss when it comes to "driving the money changers from the Temple", so to speak. The Darkside, being motivated by greed, and nothing else, have messed things up to such a degree, that nothing, short of a cataclysm will will result. Although I say the future has been taken away, I do not mean to say there will not be one, but that we will have to build a new one from scratch. Unlike recent generations that have, for the most part, taken the future for granted, allowed themselves to be lulled in to a sense of complacency and have, pretty much, fallen asleep at the wheel, the future will belong to those who are willing to fight for it, and to the winners will go the spoils.
