The Future of Gold

For centuries, gold has remained a store of value as fiat currencies have and, if history and modern trends are any revelation, always will fall to asymptotal zero at the hands of the monetary manipulators. The global marketplace is today at the mercy of a currency war which risks savings and the middle class to encourage hasty consumption, speculation, and malinvestment to prop up asset classes and generate the wealth effect in an environment saturated with exorbitant paper gains cloaking real and eventual losses, not to mention the unseen and myriad gross externalities veiled by unsubstantiated optimism. 
As the Federal Reserve has continued to expand its balance sheet, one can observe a strong positive correlation between the dollar price of gold and the extent of the Fed's dollar assets. Of course, the dollar price of gold, in keeping with any other asset, is susceptible to market corrections and speculative buying and selling, as well as geopolitical trends, financial crises, and competing assets or substitutes. Silver is one of these potential substitutes whose properties are both aesthetically appealing and industrially useful. 
Across the globe, central banks, including the People's Bank of China, have begun to hoard undisclosed supplies of gold to conceivably protect their balance sheets from the depreciation of their USD reserves and to potentially compete with the USD for market purchasing power and status as the world's reserve currency. The PBC has probably protected this information to allow for further transactions for gold at the lowest possible prices. Once this information becomes public, the gold price will likely skyrocket in response to an evidenced reduction of supply on the market. 
If the Federal Reserve introduces another dose of quantitative easing, and if interest rates continue to remain low, both of which are highly probable courses for the United States, the dollar price of gold is sure to eventually climb. The timetable for this eventuality is based upon the willingness of the banks of global manufactures, namely China, to vendor finance the insolvent United States. If recent trends are any indication, they will not long endure this process, and China may not even be able to afford this option. Akin to America's Great Depression, the United States is poised to relate to China in the fashion in which Great Britain struggled during the 1930s. Finally, it seems, China may allow its yuan to appreciate to allow its laborers the fruits of their labor instead of propping up the United States markets. With this impending decoupling and the end of exported goods for imported inflation, the dollar price of gold is sure to take flight.

Rally for Route 66!

Keep up the fight for the Mother Road! Rally for Route 66! There is a lot at stake in preserving this irreplaceable monument to American history, not merely as a tourist attraction but as a means to permitting a glimpse into our past, as a means to virtual time-travel into a time and space otherwise inaccessible, as a means to capturing the imaginations of future generations and to preserving the memory of our forbears in both form and spirit.  We are nothing without reverence for our forbears, without our heritage or our identity as a people, without the preserved memory of our history. Without these reminders, without the tangible connections to our past and the efforts which have forged our path and come to define us, without these monuments to the pioneering and the innovative, we are destined to forget all of that which makes us uniquely human, all of that which has afforded us so much insight and abundance, all of that which has given us pause to reflect and remember and to a...

Failure by Design

In the case for liberty, there is certainly some tolerance for error or failure, as it is generally suffered by the individual and not brought upon anyone by design . Wherever anyone seeks to empower government, however, one must be reasonably certain of the designs, the logic and the costs, and he must be equally honest about the unknowns as with the foreseeable consequences; after all, there is no margin for error where those designs are administered by the barrel of a gun.  One must necessarily remember that government is a monopoly on force and coercion, that force and coercion serve together as the modifying distinction between government and enterprise. It is a kind of force and coercion not by spirit or intention of written law but in accordance with the letter and understanding of the enforcers in their own time, in their own limited judgment and impaired conscience. As opposed to a state of liberty, where mistakes, failures and crimes are unavoidable in the face of human f...
