Dancing with Giantz

Gold at $1005 ounce and oil at $110/barrel. Unbelievable just two years ago, the press takes note but doesn't every show us the play, only the details.

Imagine you snuck into the theater on the cheap, are hidden in the alcove of one of the exits, and you can't see the screen but you can hear it sometimes. Sometimes you can see boot laces and fancy shoes walk by just outside, under the curtain. You report faithfully on the shoes, pumps, boots and sandals, and your readers know just what people are wearing at the movie but they don't have a clue as to what the theater is for, or what the movie is about.

That is where we are, each and every one of us, because all media reports are similar to our shoe reports above. True, but in being true to the detail and not the message, false. As to why the media would lie, because they are handmaidens to big business who owns both them, the appearance of government, and essentially the dance floor of our entire lives.

I've been somewhat peevish the last two days. The weather has been unsettled, I'm unsettled and the world of finance is under enough pressure to form diamonds where all the forces meet. I'm not going to write about shoes today, I'm going to talk about the theater and the real actors of capitalism, the giants and their dance.

Oil and gold are at record levels. From that we would think that the dollar must be falling – and if we check against other currencies, yep, it was at world record lows against other major currencies on Friday. So if I was the media, I could write, and would write if you paid me to, that gold rose on the dollar's fall. Yes it did. BUT WHY? They never fucking say WHY?

We are left to believe that it is because the housing market and the credit market is collapsing on some sort of shit that was done to give loans to poor people (those useless fuckers) who took those loans and now the deadbeats aren't paying. So the dollar is worth less and gold, measured in dollars goes up. We are always left with a simple answer by the capitalist machine of state and media. But of course we are not told enough to know what is happening.

Why, because you might react and cause more loss to the wealthy. So the sound bites end with gold and oil rise on the dollars fall do to inflationary pressure. Implicit in such partial truths – like the brown shoes under the curtain have brown laces generally – true but fucking irrelevant – so is the price of oil and gold to what you are doing right now.

We are dancing with giants. This is what really is on the screen folks. If you don't control the distribution of billions of dollars I'm NOT talking about you. I'm talking about the BOYZ.

Giants are the executive branch of every country that trades on the market. It is the Federal Reserve Board, it is the IMF, it is the big boyz behind the curtains one level ABOVE the governments, it is that 2 percent of the population that we do not see.

Gold and oil are rising in price because many of the boyz need to shift huge amounts of money out of failing investments and put them some place safer. This is necessary so that after the financial collapse they will have assets to shift back, buying again (in their theory) all the land, control structures, and methods of production with their preserved wealth. Friday the move to safe asset place was gold and oil. That is why gold and oil continue to rise – the big boyz are moving assets, liquidating especially real estate, and converting the money to oil future and gold bullion.

Gold is of no particular interest to them. They're not gold bugs – Oil is of no particular interest to them. Financial collapse that is ongoing is making the dollar less valuable every day, so they can't turn their money in to cash and store it in big shoe boxes. If they did, after the collapse which is a long drawn out thing, when they opened the shoe box they would find a much less valuable dollar, possibly near worthless.

If they left it in the real estate under the Trump Plaza, the new market value might mean they have lost 4/5 of what they have. No that wouldn't do.

Wealthy live by taking a percentage of what you do. Their wealth must continually be invested to make more. If they stood still eventually, well hell, eventually they would become, us, me. The work you perform, they get a cut of. Why do you think you have a job, because you're cute? You have it because you do something that allows one of the boyz somewhere UP THERE, to make more money than if you didn't have your job. That is why you work for them. In a time of economic recession, stagflation, and real collapse, the jobs collapse too. That is not good for them. They don't like this mess any more than you, but unlike you, they are willing and able to do something about it. So they are shuffling their giant feet on the dance floor, and moving huge amounts of wealth in and out of gold, oil seeking to reduce how much they will loss, where you, you will loose most of everything in this collapse.

I've heard it mentioned with horror that there are those who think there are parts of our government who are PLANNING the death of billions of people on the planet – fucking INSANE. True of course, google End Game. That's terrible right?

Well, not so much as it first seems. We are at a reset game point on this small beautiful planet Smarter and more normal and conservative thinkers and professors than I, not wackos, foil heads and white supremacists, agree that the carrying capacity of our little world topped out at 1 billion at the time of the civil war (1864). Since then we have been using coal, then oil and natural gas to feed people, and you know what we do when there is enough food, we fuck and make more of us. We we could and we did, if not you and I our parents certainly, and here we sit cheek to jowl on our little planet. All 6.8 billion of us.

Simple math. Oil and gas grew the extra food that created the more people. Less oil and gas equal less food. Less food equals LESS PEOPLE. How many can the earth support without using natural gas and oil? Woow boy. Well, we've kind of fucked up the topsoil and such and we've over farmed and under cared, so an axiom of this OVERSHOOT thing, that's the thing we're in right now, overshoot, is that when you stop destroying the top soil and cutting everything down, you're not back where you where started – you're actually quite a bit worse. So lets say less than one billion for the whole planet, and if we are sweet and sing all together and using humanure composting, and all of us play nice, in a century maybe we can support a billion and a bit again.

You counted how many we got now? Oh yea, 6.8 billion. So to those people who think that governments think tanks are not and have not been studying how to get from 6.8 to 1 billion, you are dumb as a rock or a perfect sheeple. Lets take a moment to all be shocked. You mean the population is going to have to FALL. Yep, it has to fall by 5.8 billion, not 4.5 billion. That's a lot of people. Hell it's a lot of compost. So if you lived in a democracy that you actually participated in, wouldn't you hope that someone was looking at this, making a plan, at least making sure your name wasn't on the list?

So be sure that government has plans if bird flu (when bird flu) hits, and most of those plans are about keeping people docile world wide while they die. I suspect that will not go well because we're becoming a bit unhinged (personally speaking of course). Oh, and reducing the birth rate wouldn't help as we right now could run to 10 billion just by restricting each person to only one replacement person. What's the math there, you're thinking. Well each person who has a baby doesn't have the decency, given our overshoot, of quietly and immedately dying. Shit some people continue to live on and become grand parents. That's how you end up with 10 billion, if every single person today said I can only have one replacement of me. But of course with the oil past the ½ point on the dip stick, we can't even continue to do 6.8 billion, let alone 10. So we actually are going to have living people die, not of old age. You figure it out. Flu, war, starvation, nuclear war, border wars, immigration wars. Is this a fun dance or what?

So with gold on the rise, all real estate plunging, banks not loaning to you or others, everyone calling up to see if you can pay them now or early or soonest, and food rising like gold and oil every time you go to the grocery store (what about raisin bran – four dollars for the little box in Q – what the fuck is that? -well it's wheat of course, we aren't growing as much wheat because we're growing more corn – why's that – for your car – for ethanol you dipstick). Don't go there, fuck Africa and those poor countries, yea were not exporting corn, yea they're starving, so what, didn't you just say there are too many of us. Besides, listen to the rumble of my Humvee, ain't she sweet?

So here you are, you can see today's movie on the screen – rich boyz moving assets preparing for the financial collapse and their re -entry into a new a more glorious control of power in the future.

What should you do. Well, watch out for the their feet on the dance floor, we are so tiny, I am so tiny I'm an insignificant and they will close that factory repossess and salvage the home right from under your feet, in order to put themselves in a safer position that all the rest of us. That's a given.

So what you should do, if you're still reading and not in the bathroom retching, or back to watching dances with the stars:

Buy as much gold as you can get. Not jewelery, coins bars, bullion, gold with no added value. Store it IN HAND not on deposit somewhere.

Buy as much silver in ounces as you can for when the dollar is being devalued and a new dollar 100 to 1 being printed and mandated, you won't be holding old dollars. Silver is small and can purchase things, normal things like tools. Gold is so valuable that it is difficult to get change. OK the Raisin Bran is $56 and the apple is $12 and all you have is an ounce of gold which by that time is $2000. Hard to make change.

You should not worry about anything the media says anymore and any politician that you don't personally control. Just turn off the shit, you'll know when hard times are here. Simple. If the power goes off for a while and the grocery store don't have no Bud at any price, and if Walmart's looking a little thin, then yep, that's an actual American Calamity, and don't worry, it's not an American problem it is a world problem. Watch out for them big feet then, they be a' flyin, you be a'dyin. None of these people are good dancers and you are very very tiny (speaking of myself of course).

You should either get rid of all debt or maximize your debt and max out every credit line in order to put cash into your hand to buy gold and silver and stash it. Then file bankruptcy when everything is foreclosed. It won't make a bit of difference by then. The only thing that will count is land you can control, gold and silver.

If you have stocks and bonds and a 401K try to shift them to gold funds – Fidelity has one for instance, and if you can't do that, go for the energy companies. While this dinosaur is dying energy is going to be a priority for everyone, and it won't take too many brown outs and grid failures to get the boyz to pour newly created cash into the energy markets. We'll drill EVERYWHERE, will support solar and wind and tidal, though they won't make much of a difference right now – too late baby!. Invest in anything we're going to run out of.

Energy,

Fresh water,

Food.

Buy freezers and solar panels and T-105 batteries and buy a junk yard, not one all stripped but a nice fresh one full of trucks and new cars. Buy a tow truck, get a four wheel drive. Get guns and ammunition and booze. Those are the new real assets.

If you don't have money, invest your energy into your own personal solar and wind and hydro, invest into food in growing your own, fuck if you own it, just plant and harvest until they start shooting at you.

Water, get close to running water. Get close to good shallow wells, did your own.

If you can grow enough, trap, fish and hunt, have water to drink and create enough energy to keep your minimal level of personal civilization alive (lights, communications) then you will do all right.

All above simplified. Take care of yourself now, break all the rules and forget everything the last four generations told you – they lived on the rising tide of free energy, you live on the ebb tide, their homespun philosophy and wisdom is a useless anchor that will drown you (mixing metaphors – sorry). Shrug off what dad and mom would think, shrug off what it means to be a good guy, a generous guy, and see to you and yours, and stay way fucking light on your feet, because the dance floor has professional dancerz who will stomp you flat during then next 6 months.

Business does not represent you, your congressman does not represent you and your parents have the wrong tools for new alien world. If you want to survive this, or if you want your children and grand children to survive this you must change, now.

And hold your close people tight, for you can't be everywhere, can't foresee everything, and no one will remain untouched. Balance is being restored, things are likely going to fall on your head.
