4 for one split–so, as I write, JNUG at $15  [$3.82 pre-split] is close! Worth a shot given that the sentiment [gold is hopeless-a play thing of the manipulators–etc]—is abysmal–very much like what we heard in Dec. 2015]. Also, COTs are bullish. Do you remember when JNUG was 3.77 if gold was much lower than the current 1209?

is that even if the percentage drop is relatively nigh before the final bottom , in dollar terms ( fiat , after all ) , JNUG cannot go much further down than it already has , so the potential reward outweighs the risk from my point of view . Leakage with highly leveraged ETFs works against us , that is true , but at this point the speculation seems attractive to me .

Entitled ‘ American Betrayal ‘ , documenting the takeover of the US government by those seeking to destabilize the American way of life and replace it with extreme socialism ( Communism with a capital C ) . Whittaker Chambers mentioned below was a Communist who later defected , and in later Congressional hearings ( 1948 ?) helped take down Alger Hiss and others .

This is an excerpt from the introductory chapter in which Wirt , an educator from the midwest overheard a dinner conversation plotting that overthrow , and wished to address Congress in 1934 to expose the plot :

” “proposed overthrow of the established American social order,” as Wirt put it. These officials, it bears notice, were mainly employed by the same New Deal agencies from which Whittaker Chambers was to marshal forces to fan out across the U.S. government. Wirt’s assessment of the radicalism within the folksily titled New Deal had preceded him to Washington, having made it into the Congressional Record and then the newspapers. “The fundamental trouble with the Brain Trusters,” he wrote, “is that they start with a false assumption. They insist that the America of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln must first be destroyed and then on the ruins they will reconstruct an America after their own pattern.” 3
Out of the political pandemonium that ensued, a select House committee emerged to investigate—or, as the Democratic New Deal majority preferred, to lay the matter to rest. 4
On April 10, 1934, in the same caucus room where Whittaker Chambers would testify fourteen years later, witness Wirt would have his say, but barely. The powers that be understood that Wirt’s story of radicalism in the Roosevelt administration might distract from or even halt their political momentum. Thus the select committee of three Democrats and two Republicans would merely go through the motions—and not even all of them. Contrary to custom (and by party-line vote, 3–2) Wirt wouldn’t be allowed to read his ten-minute opening statement, wouldn’t have benefit of counsel (3–2), and wouldn’t be permitted to rebut charges against him (3–2)—not even after he was falsely accused of having been jailed for German sympathies during the World War (1917–18). 5
Hitler, too, would be invoked to smear Wirt. Most important of all, the committee voted (3–2) not to call any of the key administration officials Wirt cited in his testimony—not the Agriculture Department official who told him about talk in the AAA about retarding the economic recovery in order to speed up the revolution, nor the housing officials planning to collectivize American workers in government-planned communities, nor the “brain trusters” advocating the seizure of the economy and the destruction of laissez-faire. House Democrats preferred, in the words of the scathing minority report on the Wirt investigation, to leave Wirt’s testimony as hearsay. Then it could be smacked down by denials in the press and majority rule. Indeed, within an hour of Wirt’s hearing, such denials “followed in rapid order.” 6

So, too, did a countercharge from the dinner party attendees, all midlevel government officials (five U.S. and one Soviet) Wirt had cited for what he described as revolutionary statements. Not only, they told the press, had they not made any of the statements Wirt alleged, Wirt himself had monopolized all conversation to the point where no one else had been able to say anything at all. As they told it, he just never stopped talking. The world laughed. William Wirt became the butt of jokes throughout the administration and press corps. This front-page Miami Daily News story, headlined LAUGHING THROUGH, is not untypical.” …

Winedoc, it is Stacker’s Season. Those Silver Maples are a Great Value at these sale prices.

Alex, Thank you for the reply. Same here with the gut feelings. And in regards to that JNUG chart, if you factor in and consider the recent 4:1 reverse split, that chart screams “Buy Me!”. I don’t think JNUG has ever been so low in relative terms. Good call imho.

Good Luck To all and happy trading !

Maya, not a bad cup of coffee for a Monday. 🙂

If Gold breaches 1200 you might want some cash on the side lines in case it falls further and takes silver with it. Ps It might be a aproxinate launching point.. Orr vtac

I don’t understand the reasoning for the pauperization of the USA. But I guess “they” do.

Izzit the New World Orderists wanting to return to an updated version of feudalism/serfdom?–greed has no limits–only in death does the covetous eye close and the greedy hand loose its grip.

Thats what makes this so dangerous because it is a global move. Like a riot in that if someone starts smashing cars or people for that matter they don’t feel personally responsible but part of a group backing each other. Putting pressure on the people in a golbal way making people think its to big to fight against. They pubically and during election might seem nice on the outside and with their PC but like Merkel stone cold on the inside. Shes quite aware of the no go zones and will have no remorse nor to the victims. Where is she coming from, in real life you’ll have to visit a prison where the inmates are either in the psych ward after a murder or in isolation.

We have so called leaders globally with some very serious mental and personality disorders who are not only manipulative but have total disregard for others who also see their job as a position of prestige in a ” narcisitic ” way not a sense of responsibility or duty for those who elected them but how they can take advantage of them as a end to their means. We’re seeing this reflected in the press fake news and insane politicians bent on impeaching Trump even if they have to make it up with some drama to impeach him and distract from their real intentions. We have a decoupling between them and us both here and Europe. There always has been but not at this level now globally coordinated.
They made a bunch in forcing women out of the home for decades of easy money and now reached a tipping point. They mismanaged the money that would of weathered a drop in population and now with women too busy or not socially acceptable even if they wanted kids because they have to focus on careers and having less kids the gravy train is drying up. In there desperation they will open the borders causing even more problems with their reckless disregard in order to keep their easy money coming in because they are the center of the universe everyone else should revolve around them.Why they hate Trump or we the people because he , we won’t cooperate and they just can’t handle someone else taking the spot light or questioning their authority.

Dear Sir,

I have a very complicated benefits question.

Many years ago, I married a widow out of love who had an 18 year old daughter.

After the wedding, my father, a widower, came to visit a number of times, and he fell in love with my step daughter.

My father eventually married her without my authorisation.

As a result my step-daughter became my step mother and my father became my son in law.

My father’s wife (also my step daughter) and my step-mother, gave birth to a son who is my grandchild because I am the husband of my step daughter’s mother.

This boy is also my brother, as the son of my father.

As you can see, my wife became a grandmother, because she is the mother of my father’s wife.

Therefore it appears that I am also my wife’s grandchild.

A short time after these events, my wife gave birth to a son, who
became my father’s brother-in-law, the step-son of my father’s wife, and my uncle.

My son is also my step mother’s brother, and through my step-mother, my wife has become a grandmother and I have become my own grandfather.

In light of the above mentioned, I would like to know the following:
Does my son, who is also my uncle, my father’s son-in-law and my step mother’s brother fulfil the requirements for receiving childcare benefits?

Sincerely yours,

Mohammed

THE ANSWER:

Of course you qualify Mohammed! I have arranged to start mailing the checks to all of you just as soon as you arrive here in California.

Yours faithfully
