Smarter Than a Rothschild or a British Prime Minister?
March 20, 2008 "Financially, the US is not an independent country." ~ Paul Craig Roberts Gold surpassed $1000 on Friday, March 14, to the collective silence of the financial advisors and investment columnists of the mainstream US media. When the economic gurus of the MSM missed the predictable, seven year rise of precious metals, their ignorance was obvious. Have you ever watched that TV show: “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?” Deliciously wicked fun and rather subversive, especially coming from ultra-conservative Fox. Apparently most Americans are not smarter than the kids on the show. Most of the adult guests boast a college degree but their worldview is incredibly narrow. Predictably, the adults perform like buffoons when asked even the simplest of questions, to the delight of children and subversives like myself. We then realize many of these so-called educated adults, stumbling over simple questions of logic or knowledge, represent many of our leaders today. I
am
not
an
educated
man,
nor
do
I
possess
any
advanced
degrees,
but
I
do
enjoy
reading
a
wide
range
of
subjects.
The
most
important
thing
I’ve
learned
is
not
to
trust
learned
people
at
face
value,
but
seek
a
second,
third
or
fourth
perspective,
oftentimes
from
other,
equally
uneducated
people
like
myself.
Humans,
especially
many
college
educated
ones,
possess
a
predictable
tendency
to
lie,
cheat
and
steal,
or
otherwise
hoodwink
lesser
educated
or
more
gullible
souls
(like
myself).
Later
these
shysters
run
for
high
political
office
on
their
vast,
prior
accomplishments. For example, in 1999, Gordon Brown, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, (Brit Treasury Secretary), sold more than 450 tons of British gold for around $275 an ounce. You do the math in the money lost by that idiotic economic policy. Less than 50 years ago, the British government possessed nearly 3,000 tons of gold. Thanks to the brilliant Brown, or to the powers behind the throne as they say, England currently possesses 300+ tons. Which brings us to the question: How could any high government official, who costs his government some $8 billion, become Prime Minister? What sort of wanker would sell his country’s national treasury? The current British prime minister, of course, someone who does NOT seem to be smarter than a 5th grader. Certainly Brown appears to be an educated fellow, judging from his curricula vita, but nonetheless an ignorant ass happily masturbating members of the New World Order, for fun and profit. By creating chaos out of order, in order to profit by the coming disorder, Brown helps wreck the British economy. But $5-10 billion is chump change compared to the wastefulness of Bush/Cheney LLC. While Bush supporters sold American voters on the wisdom of voting for the only US president with an MBA, his business degree appears to be fraudulent. Harvard Business School should be ashamed, an investigation commenced, as an MBA degree from an Ivy League school does not appear to make one smarter than a 5th grader. The average STR reader seems twice as smart as anyone serving in Washington DC. How do I know? Because I only learned what little I know about the gold standard and fiat currency (used to think it was an Italian car) by reading STR rather than the business section of the local newspapers. Seems the local papers rarely mentioned gold or inflation in the past seven years. No newspaper I read ever mentioned Ron Paul or Murray Rothbard and the monetary system. None mentioned what $200 billion more paper parachutes would do to the US dollar in the long run, nor whose benefit the recent bailout was intended for. Are YOU smarter than the average 5th grade? Apparently twice as smart as those who got their financial advice from a government official, or a newspaper columnist, in the past seven years. As dumb as I am about money, about personal finances, at least I had the smarts to ignore any advice about gold from a Rothschild.
