That was a good saying. I always thought they should invent a common sense test. Because common sense is not very common. And people that can’t pass it, should not be allowed to vote. Or even not allowed to run for office. Just ten questions on it.
#1 would be, “Does gun control make any sense”? and number two, “Do open borders and allowing millions of people from third world nations make sense”? “Do wind farms make any sense”. Yes to any questions like that and they fail.
However, if it ever happened, a common sense test, the idiots would figure out the answers before taking the test LOL.

Hello Goldielocks,
I have been visiting the Tent for years, only lately started posting.
I value free sites and meetings in this world which is being ever more controlled.
I wonder if they will exist for the next generations

Are you are aware of Weleda medicines and products?
and if you have you ever come across Anthroposophical Medicine?
Anthroposophical doctors are –
fully qualified conventional medical doctors who have completed additional training in “anthroposophic medicine,” a holistic approach originating from Rudolf Steiner that views patients through a lens of body, soul, and spirit. They integrate orthodox treatments with complementary therapies—such as mistletoe therapy, homeopathy, and artistic therapies—to treat the whole person, focusing on chronic, immune, and pediatric conditions.
(above is a wretched AI search – which is accurate! )
Medicine is not my main interest and I live mostly doctor/medicine free!
Just curious really!
All the best.

The things Europe was good at that I’m aware of like Culture, unique and historic architecture, art, agriculture and food, tourism, education and science, Christian influence, industrial, that are now all being oppressed or destroyed by moronic ideations like net zero, wokeism, and globalist mass migration of everything anti European aforementioned further burdens upon them, and not for the better. Globalism by pedo baby and human eating monstrous freaks with not enough to do with a lot of money who want free slave labor renting everything from them but too stupid to realize they depend on the people and system they want to abuse and treat so badly that sustains them. Just another level of criminal abusive type welfare kings and queens.

I think Australia is a pretty safe place to invest in miners, better than a lot of other countries. Lots of gold there too!
KOW

Here in the UK we have no gold/copper mines and I fancy Australia is a good safe place to invest with a long mining history which
the government supports.
Could be that these OZ mines will be making fortunes…..
All the best

Mitch Summers’s Post

A chilling proposal surfaced on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum.
Speaker Lindsey Hooper suggested that water, soil, and even oxygen should no longer be freely accessible, but instead classified as assets and placed on a global balance sheet.
What once sounded like a dystopian joke about paying for air is now being openly discussed as a real possibility.
If the very basics of human existence are monetized, who controls them, and who gets left behind?

re: Aussie miners joining S&P/ASX 100
I’ll be glad to see it, then buying or selling Westgold Resources won’t cost me a $50 commission like it did last time!

I see now that the SGE market was open last night with their fix at $88.33
I’m surprised there’s only a $5 gap between the two markets.

Grok says:
No holidays apply: Chinese New Year/Spring Festival in 2026 starts around February 17 (with closures typically from mid-February, e.g., Feb 15–23 or similar per futures exchange announcements), so early February is a normal trading period.

The PM shares have actually been doing quite well for a year or so. Perhaps they should have been doing better or maybe they catch up to historical patterns at a later date. I guess we’ll find out.
I never touch ETFs. The only thing they have going for them is convenience but I think that they are dishonest and certainly haven’t benefitted our sector.

I hope you’re on to something there treefrog. There’s the possibility of the psychopaths among their generation running amok.
I guess one could say that that is happening now …

So far that has worked for me. I was able to cash out well over a $million at the last top, convert a small amount of those winnings into Physical, and have again made well over a $million with that phyz. The reason I made the decision to go all phyz was the introduction of Derivatives and ETF’s that completely changed the markets from stock market investing to Casino gambling. Used to be you could buy a mutual fund which owns everything it represents, but that has been replaced by an ETF which tells you it bases its value on a certain sector or commodity but does not own it, it only TRACKS its value, which is now coming to light more and more as Phys increases in value but the shares lag. So are the shares late, or just not going to participate this time??? SNG..FWIW

…or some of them might actually become mature in the interim. some of us take a little longer to grow up. through my twenties and thirties, i was more interested in sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll than more serious things.
i know some of them that are actually doing pretty well in the process of maturing. the others? give it a little time. there are records of the ancient greeks bitching about how sorry the younger generation was. i suggest
it may be part of the human condition.

Not maybe what we expected with the Chinese on holiday.
The shares are particularly pleasant.

Lots of snowflakes among the youngsters. What happens in 20 years when they are in control? I hope they have enough “safe places” and that no one is mean to them!

re war….the Euro’s can want as much war as they can imagine , but luckily they have no means of fighting it, even if they could persuade, their kids to to get off their beds and put down their phones…..
Was talking to an acquaintance the other day …about the modern ‘adult’…he said his son a policeman, in his early 50 ‘s, is constantly amazed by the younger recruits…..one the other day said, she was doubtful she could carry on, because before she joined up, ……..she had no idea, there would be so many nights involved !!!!!!!!!!

Forgot to mention I wonder what he would say about Europes NATO still wanting war when we got rid of the demos going along with Europes NATO and Trump was not going to get involved in a war to help them overthrow Russia and pulled away from their NATO.
