Instead, […]

This unnerving reality is manifested in every administration, as bankers both past and present manipulate reality with the spells of interest rates, sprinkling the same old hemlock […]
Gold’s phenomenal year so far is thanks in part to foreign central banks buying the yellow metal. With BRICS nations expanding their membership and growing in prestige, superpowers like China will likely turn to gold to escape the collapsing dollar.
