Report From The Mint

Yesterday I went to the Perth Mint to take a look around for this report.

What did I see?

There has been a very concerted and well-funded effort to upgrade the buying and selling process - and superficially this means things have gone the same digital/iPhone way everything else has these days:

You get a new Mint Account card, with a specific personal number and when you want to buy or sell on-site there, you get 'pinged' on your phone to go to particular window in the dealing room. It's all very old school Swiss Private Bank-ish, frankly, and, just like all Swiss Banks, nothing is really secret at all, because these capacities to have digital data on what you are doing means it all goes, or at least can go, to the government wherever and whenever. 

Like the Aglianico grape, the original
story of Sleeping Beauty is all
very 'rustic' - except it isn't.
It's extremely high tech but you
have to penetrate through 
the mythological landscape of the
story...

Secondly, only basic ID is required if you want to buy or sell less than two thousand dollars worth of PMs, but they go through the expanded ID format (nothing too special there however) if you are dealing in larger amounts.

The range and presentation of gold, silver, platinum, rhodium, pearl and diamond products has been upgraded significantly from recent past times, if not dramatically so. Thought at least quite significantly...

There is no question that there has been and still is a major serious supply constraint with smaller silver bullion items - you can get a hefty premium if you are selling, and there is virtually no supply of silver bullion bars below 1 kilo. There is plenty of minted silver coins and these are by no means poor value. They are probably quite good value, if anything.

I don't think there is any doubt whatsoever but that the consumer demand for gold and silver anything is tremendous right now.

As to whether the global exchanges' price of gold will increase meaningfully soon, in such a way that you can make a lot of money merely buying and holding over the next short phase the answer is a clear 'no.'

That being said there is a strange disparity between the Beijing and Shanghai and HK price of gold and anywhere else - this is being justified in all sorts of weird and magical ways but in essence it is because the China market is stronger than anywhere else and no one there believes the New York price of gold is completely genuine.

Zombie driver, voodoo
economy.
Still looks good though, on the 
outside. As an artifact.
Stick it in a museum.

The fact is though, it is not that it is not genuine, but that New York is a place full of financial zombies and so the economics there are based on voodoo.

...But we need to talk about the Three Goddesses.

These are the ones who visited Sleeping Beauty.

'Lucinda' is a figure of supernal light, and she is equivalent to Theone (the Roman Juno) and not Hera, and secondly there is Themis, and she is everywhere in modern times incorrectly equated to 'Justice' whereas she is really 'Theme' - which is a much better word to explain what her role is. She is the Divine Concept of well, basically, the theme of a life story - or a 'scene.' 

In this case, she has caused the human figure to be 'asleep' during most of the drama phase of the 'story' in question, which is really a 'story-with-a-moral,' of course.

And the third Goddess is Venus and she makes everything come good in the end (of the story), although she has, along with all the other gods planned everything all along right from the start. Everything is already complete to begin with. There is no 'conflict' about anything or over anything.

In the same way, we must not consider the seemingly 'stuck' prices of precious metals as a conflicted situation. It is merely the time during which we can accumulate a huge stock of precious metals in various forms and observe the insanity of the markets, of world politics, and of the grand delusions of people and governments all together.

It is not so much tempting to wish the gold price had some dramatic upside potential in it right now, but frustrating that we do not and cannot see any reason for this happening - especially when nothing happened even though the world is being dragged right now into what will inevitably end up as a nuclear disaster. And I do mean nuclear weapons 'event.'

'There is ever Love between the
Gods only, and never enmity or
rage...' 
Plato, I think who was quoting
someone else
before him.

In ancient times, God or the gods, were made responsible for the conflagrations of Sodom and Gomorrah, and for the destruction of Atlantis and also the flood of Noah.

As in those days, people today go about their daily business, buying and selling, marrying and being married, as in the days of Noah...

But this time the destruction is entirely man-made. No god will have interfered to make such a thing happen, and certainly no god or ET Aliens who previously were reputed to have warned about this, will intervene to prevent it.

Don't forget, the Temple (of Jerusalem) celebrates the Temple of Solomon, which itself celebrate wealth and earthly power, not god or God's Laws. Solomon, moreover, broke every single one of the so-called 'Ten Commandments.' So, to say that this current war is about religion and people's ideas and beliefs about god and religion is factually nutty.

The sacred thing of the Jews is the Tent of Meeting (not the Temple of Solomon) - which tent contained the Ark of the Covenant and this was hidden by the actual real prophet Jeremiah somewhere in Mount Nebo (which metaphorically, is that cave or cave system in Switzerland I talked of yesterday where Putin has his personal gold... lol).

This 'Ark of the Covenant' shall not be known again until God Himself gathers His own actual people and throws His Light (refer 'Lucinda' above) on things and on them.

But you are the people He is gathering, and the Ark you know, and the light you see. We have talked about these things continuously here and will continue doing so for a while yet.

The upcoming new text (which is already up at Inkitt) has clear if 'fictional narrative' description of something actually seen in the sky and this passage is from someone very reliable's actual physical encounter, and it is in no way at all to do with imaginary things or Monroe Institute 'targeted vision experiences.' Which is not to diminish the valuable nature of what the Monroe Institute does teach. These guys are pretty close to some decent methodology.

I know some people who have either paid money to be fully trained on-site in the Monroe Institute's facilities in different places, together with certain individuals who were at one time paid by the government to be doing that kind of program - none of them say the gold price is going up right away or any time too soon.

So that's that about it.

What do my direct link people say?

Well that is in the texts and also in the following piece of music:

(And I must say I am very very pleased with this track -, however watch out for the sound levels just after the soft start...)

 

Sleeping Beauty

...Or Snow White - that's a variation of the same story.

On the matter of the gold price we must touch on the subject of Gnomes.

And when we do that we must talk about Paracelsus - who coined the word.

He was using some Greek words that together meant 'dweller (beneath) the earth.'

I am not going to post up pics of the latest Swiss innovation to do with their supposed safe-keeping of gold, which is these tunnels and caverns inside high mountains in which reputedly, there is a lot of gold being stored.

One of my friends ex the old Romanian Intelligence Service - which took over from the Securitate - is utterly convinced that Vladimir Putin has private stashes of vast amounts of gold in these kinds of underground tunnels, literally in Switzerland, but which he has arrangements with the government there whereby his own people operate the tunnels in question and provide the security. I find this extraordinary and quite unbelievable.

My friend goes on to say that the tunnels themselves go all the way across the Swiss border!

Where they end up I do not know - possibly Germany, possibly Austria. Who knows.

That there are tunnels in Swiss mountains for the express purpose of storing gold is a fact, and that these go to who-knows-where is another fact and that some of them indeed seem to be in private hands almost as far as being somewhat like foreign territory inside of Switzerland is also true.

So, at any rate, fast-running small people who dwell in tunnels and places deep underground is only barely a mythical story...

For hundreds and maybe thousands of years, certain mythical people who silently controlled all money everywhere, and were often said to be locating themselves for a long time in Switzerland - had factual reflections of the myth or legend become apparent in the outer world quite regularly.

Thus the 'Gnomes of Zurich' were said by a succession of London government ministers of finance, to be the persons really responsible for many major events -, including for example, wars.

But here is a fact of recent history:

Credit Suisse was the least exposed of the major Swiss banks to the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008 - and yet, by 2023, it went broke and was bought out for a song by the most exposed of the Swiss banks to the original subprime mortgage crisis of 2008, UBS.

What happened was that flowing from the undoing of the Swiss-headquartered 'Basel Agreement on the Prudential Standards of Banks,' the hugest banks (well, in fact every one else as well!) borrowed short to invest long in assets (specifically real estate-backed assets and mortgages) which never had enough capital resale liquidity at any point, and were never able to fund the original short-term borrowings.

The government of the United States bailed-out everyone especially their co-conspirators the big banks from everywhere not just within the USA. How they did this I will never know.

The 'story' now is that Credit Suisse was burdened with accounts that were the proceeds of money laundering -, and basically every other kind of criminality except not theft of wealth of course, because that is something only the government of the United States is allowed to do and get away with.

Consequently, and because Credit Suisse was 'being prudent' and not getting involved in ridiculous il-liquid 'mortgage lending' and what is being called 'subprime mortgages' but in reality is all mortgages... ...it went broke versus the 'competitive' nature of banks like UBS which had unlimited access to 'cash' from the US government and that could buy whatever they wanted without ever having to make a profit or cover actual costs.

Credit Suisse must have had a lot of gold bullion and gold did not go up. At least not anywhere near the factorial needed to compete with the never-ending supply of liquidity that banks such as UBS had access to.

So in the end, Credit Suisse could not compete, did not make enough 'profits' - while its board was trying to match the lifestyles of the executives and directors of places like UBS - and so it went under.

When you have unlimited
money, you can buy
unlimited car... 

UBS, superficially the Union Bank of Switzerland, is in fact actually owned by Americans, and has been since a very very long time, well before any 'crises' of recent-ish history. It is owned by Harris Associates, and the best way I can describe them is to simply say that they are from Chicago. 

There is nothing wrong with Chicago, I love Chicago. I used to live and work there.

The question for me and thee, though, is whether, or if and when, the price of gold will go up.

The reason it hasn't gone up over the last forty years is that sheer government moral criminality, has meant that the US taxpayer gets to lose his entire lifestyle and quality and standard of living, while he is taxed to the hilt -, while the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury 'invent' money out of thin air and therewith force capital prices of highly selective 'assets' to go to astronomical heights thereby capturing the poor mortgage holder (who is usually also the taxpayer as well) in impossible levels of private debt, and claim to be able to simply just add multiples of naughts onto its national debt bill at the same time.

Of all of these seeming 'variables' there is in fact only one of them which is 'price inelastic' or at least has a limitation to its elasticity: and that is the taxpayer.

The government, all politicians, all the bureaucrats on the gravy train, the FBI, the Fed, the Judiciary, the 'banks,' couldn't give a hang about you and they could care less if you keeled over and died from exhaustion having to pay what they are spending and stealing and keeping from what they steal off you.

What they steal off you is principally time and your effort/s.

Remarkable how individual
some designs are - and they
become 'timeless.'
Gold is timeless.

But can gold go up even in the face of such stunning enforced 'control' by government?

I am told by those who know the exact and precise answer, that that is not the right question.

...That the right question is 'how long will it take from now, before the cracks in the public totally become visible and society breaks in such a way that society itself fails catastrophically' - because the government certainly won't.

The natural mechanism of parasites is that they keep the host alive just enough for the parasite to keep feeding off it. But that is not what has happened with governments - they have literally killed their host, which is the public and society at large.

And how do we know that for a fact?

Because, as my 'other' friends (not the Romanian ones) pointed me to, the annual population growth rate has collapsed worldwide. And I mean everywhere, not just in the so-called 'developed' parts of the world.

That the parasitic global governments have been able to get poor people to flood into developed countries, is simply because it is easy to push them around - it's not because there are 'too many people' in those source countries.

I am sure not even Gnomes can match the amazing numbers conjured up in 'dollars' by limitlessly 'wealthy' governments and their central banks and so on the surface, certainly you must say governments and official entities can buy more gold bullion than you or I and the Gnomes combined!

Correction, they can 'trade in,' not 'buy.'

Sleeping... ...beauties.

They cannot buy anything from a Gnome.

Gnomes don't need money. They are magical beings. 

Gnomes are working for a beauty who is presently, asleep.

Hi Ho Hi Ho, it's off to work we go, we work all day and get no pay, Hi Ho Hi Ho Hi Ho.

Zellandine, by the way, is Sleeping Beauty's name, and she is from Zee-land and that means ancient Holland.

She is visited by Three Goddesses who decide her fate - long long before the whole story that we know unfolds. Same goes for the French version, Snow White -, whose French name is Blanchette... ...even though she is completely raven-black haired! Those French.

But will the price of gold go up?!

We shall see.

But first we must inquire about the Three Goddesses...

Yes, This Fun Place

Well. As you can see, the world is not a fun place everywhere right now.

We are a fun place here. 

And one of the fun things to think about is why isn't gold flying when there is so much war conflict all over the place?

It isn't flying.

Custom-designed Oriental 
'Mid-Autumn' lanterns.

It's meant to be the 'talisman of fear' (by which it used to be intended that the fear was specifically to do with major war).

Ex-US House Speaker McCarthy was just interviewed about the wars all over the place and he repeated the nostrum about 'appeasement never works.'

And that's fine if you have a war machine in place which can overpower some contender or enemy. That is no longer the case with the US and general 'Allied' military. Iran and Russia have hyper-sonic technologies so far in advance of anything the US currently has that is actually deployable, that other than 'appeasement' any prospect of real hot war would lead to complete disaster and ruination.

It is by no means certain at all that this necessarily means the 'other side' would win anything. It just means that you will cop a hiding that you never previously envisaged even vaguely possible.

Would Iran want to do such a thing to the US or to Israel?

The whole thing would be a complete disaster visited on the world and it would really mean TEOTWAWKI.

But McCarthy opines that one reasonable stance is 'not to engage in appeasement.'

Well then what then?

I mean at this point it is in any case impossible to 'appease' Russia.

Bohemians minding their own 
business while the world
goes to Hell - again.

Iran is a nut-job place led by fools and knaves with knives and guns and - er, hyper-sonic missiles and nuclear weapons! That is certainly not a place you would be able to appease anyway, even if you tried.

So where do we go from here?

Me, right now I am going to visit some women doing what, um a 'Community Conversations' group meeting where they are going to be 'ReStorying Life.'

Bit late as far as I'm concerned but never mind. We'll see what they have to say and what possibly, they are thinking.

Anyway I am not personally trying to 'ReStory' my life. My life's story is perfectly fine.

I think a lot of people are going to die soon in outrageously horrible circumstances. That they already have been here and there across the globe is one thing - but none of it was in what you could call a 'signal event.'

Oh there will be one of those however. 

God what a fun place this turned out to be!

Actually let me take us back to a better frame of mind.

I think we need to buy one of
these, Bill Smith.
What do you think?
Buy it?
We can drive away from trouble
really fast.

Can we - you and I - have a stunningly interesting and cool and even a great, if very private life and lifestyle, in the midst of so much absolute utter disaster and political and government lunacy everywhere?

Yep. Sure can.

Stay here. Stay on these pages.

We know stuff no one else on the planet knows. At least not that many do, anyway.

The upcoming free-to-read piece about wines (it's just about wines, right...) is 'educational;' it's going to be an education but only for the already reasonably wise. LOL

Hopefully it will go up tonight. And then you can get better 'informed.' And no one else will see or know anything.

Touching Fire

You know...

Hmn...

Well I can guess that some of you are wondering why we've been going a bit quiet over recent days, even these last few weeks here.

It isn't that there is nothing to say.

It is that I have personally been mulling what details to expose about some of the information that has been being handed across down here.

Getting close to the fire...

The best I can say or do is to dress things in a cloak of myth. You'll still get the point that way without becoming too let's say, disturbed about it.

So...

Thyone, the human woman who bore the God Dionysus, had doubts seeded in her mind by the Titaness Hera, that Zeus had really made love to her, and one night she asked Zeus directly to reveal Himself in His actual Divine Form to dispel her doubts - and eventually when He did (because I suppose, she badgered Him enough that He gave in!), she (her body) was turned to ashes and cinders because of His blazing fiery form.

Zeus had to rescue the Divine Child Dionysus from the ashes.

Dionysus is also called the god who removes worry and the cares of the mortal world from people.

Dionysus once went into a poor old farmer's house, and sat Himself down at the kitchen table, whereupon the old man began to attend to the visitor, giving him fresh fruit with dewy apples and berries and then making him some savory vegetables, but taking one piece of vegetable out first and giving it to the fire in the hearth as an offering to the goddess whose name means 'to stand beside power...'

Dionysus, being impressed about the poor old man's generosity and thoughtfulness of Divinity as the priority, then let wine miraculously flow from water-filled buckets and cups - more or less 'inventing' or creating wine for Man for the first time.

His mother, Thyone, went into the flames of the Divine, whereas the old man merely got close to the fire.

The point of this is to say not to impose forceful requests on Divinity with no room to move for greater knowledge that would reveal the risks of having those requests delivered in unqualified ways and according merely to the myopic human mind's demands.

Moses was only allowed to see Jehovah's back and mostly this same idea of a fire or a flame of some kind being associated with 'God' occurs in that story.

Arjuna is allowed to see the Divine Form of Krishna but even there, he is briefly turned into a much more elevated form of being in order to 'see' the God, and when he (Arjuna) returns to his human body, his hair stands on end and becomes white from the experience.

All these stories are not really about fire as we know 'fire' but some kind of Supreme Ultimate Energy which has many characteristics of fire as we describe the natural fire that we know.

You can - you may - stand next to this Ultimate 'fire,' and you can observe it from a distance without much personal physical harm but it is not advisable to get too close to it in a material sense because this thing is not mortal itself and like natural fire and ice are inimical to each other, your physical mortality will be burned up by the nature of that which is wholly opposite, the very polar reverse of what is terminal and short-lived.

Correction...

Secret of secrets...

Not 'you can' stand next to this fire - you must always do that.

There is so much more to this myth about Thyone and Dionysus secretly visiting the poor old man than I can say here. ...This myth goes all the way to Julius Caesar.

LOL

You knew that, right?

It will all make sense a short while from now.

If it doesn't already to some extent.

You don't need a lot of money to be visited by the right person.

Standing next to the fire is what is important.

Giving first consideration to sources that are liable to be better-informed and more rational and more enduring than the simplistic and atavistic whims and wishes of the ordinary human animal nature - is critical to the realizing of total success.

Maximum success is an authentic target.

'The right person' does not care that you have less material wealth as the world looks at it, than you would ideally want to have.

'The right person' is not even there to be impressed.

The art is in the relating:
how things communicate with each other,
and what they say to each other.
And what they they do with each other,
together.

That you are able to impress them is the all!

The genius of the human being is not that they are scientists, or that they are capable of winning science medals and Nobel Prizes, or that they can manipulate the media or that they can corrupt politicians or that they can use instruments and tools of violence against other living beings for unworthy goals.

You cannot impress a being much more advanced than you are - at least not in terms of what is done to impress other human beings living in the material world.

The only thing that counts to a truly advanced sentient being, is how another vaguely-similar such being relates to creatures of its own kind.

  

Why 'Profit' Can No Longer Be Organic

If I posted here right now, the several things we are doing, those matters to do with the Autism support projects or any other venture - all of which has as the core intention, not profit at all but assistance to those who are unable to get it in the ordinary course of affairs (and that is literally the truth about it) - it would show that yes, we can and will get some financial returns too and that these will grow over time.

But it would be tremendously premature to go into any details right here or now about these things.

And fundamentally this is not due to any 'superstitious' concerns about over-confidence, it is about some serious dysfunctions in the worldwide financial markets and within economies generally that have to be looked at first and long before anyone goes "Oh hey look how 'successful' we are."

Sorry for all those who don't eat pork.
This is Iberico Jamon.

Today, everywhere in Western economies, real estate appears as a truly outstanding investment category.

This flies right in the face of some stark facts:

While the global population seems to have always been on the increase for centuries, its actual population growth rate has catastrophically fallen to below the rates of the 17th century.

Birthrates have fallen, and the rapidly rising average age of populations in developed countries means that people are getting infirm and dying off.

The standard media narrative is that dwellings and residences are in short supply.

There is in fact a dramatic over-supply of dwellings.

Now you can, if you want, believe long and hard that buying real estate and 'investing' in property is the way to make you wealthy - and you are going to lose your shirt doing that but that's up to you.

Three things are already happening: 

• The standard and quality of urban places has and still is falling rapidly
• The actual costs of living are dramatically rising
• The quality of life (including standards and quality of education) has fallen significantly

The general perspective is and has been, that 'new' forms of money are high in relative price because of two-dimensional supply and demand arithmetic reasons.

The photograph is very beautiful...

The possibility however, is that digital currencies like the obvious one BitCoin, are nominally 'high' because they actually are forms of money, where standard printed government notes and deposits are not, but instead are tokens sponsored by the authority of those governments with too many rules and constrains to allow them to legitimately be defined as 'money' at all but instead are 'gateway tokens,' and not actually sponsored by the pricing mechanisms of value exchange and economic equivalency ratios either.

Those things that are actual money, are going to show up the reality of values in the economy and also in the wider idea of the social economy framework.

In a situation, that is to say in a national and global economic market framework, in which the nominal realization of 'value' is a projection essentially of fraud enforced by a morally lost ruling authority - then it becomes no longer possible to secure automatic profits through the organic results of the excess factorial of supply and demand dynamics.

This used to be an assumption, literally a given, in economics... If you make more from sales than you spent to make those sales, then you would achieve a 'profit.' That was logically and necessarily a truth.

Today, for you to 'make a sale' of any product or service at all, you must own, rent, lease, or in some other way use, property.

And the cost inputs at that line are enormously exaggerated versus the underlying real economic forces at work.

This means that a moment will come to pass, at which there is a catastrophic alteration in the profits trajectory (profits to be realized) because the prices (costs) already paid and booked will vastly exceed the actual obtaining costs and sale prices at that moment and subsequently too there will necessarily be a sharp drop off in economy-wide demand.

It is possible to calculate very precisely when this will happen and it only takes a look at the population growth rate in a given economy to be able to imagine how to do it.

Because net production has always increased since the 17th century, there is a dramatic over-supply of goods and services compared with the underlying fall-off in population growth rates.

But there is a powerful lessening of demand in actuality, if not in nominal so-called 'gross domestic circulation velocity as depicted by Treasury and central bank figures (data); these are all lies.

She actually has stronger neck muscles than
Lewis Hamilton.
That tell you anything?

And it is the fundamental reason that countries are allowing invading populations to break borders in some countries, whilst in other countries the governments have been encouraging over-priced permanent residency visas.

...It is because of a fundamental domestic demand cataclysm -, a fall in real demand across the board. This doesn't change prices because prices are being artificially set and enforced.

Current inflation is the direct result of government and central bank interference with markets.

These things are done because of the desperate fear that the ruling elites have, of real estate prices disappearing down the sink hole of modern advanced technology and good-looking houses that can be made from incredibly light self-replicating sheets of some ridiculously cheap to acquire new material with the hardness of steel, the durability of composite carbon fiber and yet the structural malleability of damp papier mache!

The Paris Ritz-Carlton where
Diana went...
That one, fateful, time.

To say nothing of the energy self-sufficiency potential of such technological advancements.

But how real is this depiction of the near future?

LOL

Does it matter?

Why do we need to 'predict' an actuality in some hypothetical future all the time, when enough of a particular negative actuality is already here right now?

Well I tell you what - you just keep paying council land rates, okay. And keep sending your taxes to the Ukraine.

No problem there, right?

'Pandemonium' is a word invented by the English poet John Milton. It means all of the demons grouped together...

You have not seen a 'pandemic' yet until you witness the results and the consequences of Cholera turning up across the whole of California.

Can it happen? Could it happen?

Now I will tell you something that at this stage, you will certainly not believe. There are those people, those actual real people down here on this planet right now, who are literal ET Alien-human hybrids. They have information and they get information and they know stuff.

And you might be a plain old ordinary human person - but if you keep your eye on those others, when they move, you jump.

When they move.

They are here and they are here for a reason.

This is the advanced guard.

I know you totally don't believe me.

But then again, do you seriously think such an advanced species would readily give themselves away before an attack? Such that governments and religious institutions and all of that would 'see' them coming?

Here is actual Alien communication right here - it begins at 1:30 with the introduction to the concept in question and goes on to make the main point by 2:20 and then establishes it much more forcefully at 2:40.

Tell me you understand what is being 'said,' right?
