The Daily Reckoning vs. Guns and Ammo

I noticed all the missing posts and thought maybe you'd packed up and left town.
Glad you're ok. Thought some of those posts may have had some value but it's your call.

The Bonner/North crowd sell into fear. That's how they make their money.

That's also what Trump (a financial deadbeat) is doing. He is riding the fear hype wave, distracting attention from where it should be, while the media controls the spin.

Trump's a master of propaganda. No one does it better.

In the wings waits the dragon lady, biding her time. Her lust for power knows no bounds.
Lying and much worse, is a way of life for her and her 'ahem', hubby.


There's one thing I can guarantee. At the end of Trump's or dragon lady's rainbow, is a lot less freedom than we currently enjoy, higher taxes/debt and war.

Pick your poison carefully this political season. May be the last time you'll have the chance to do so.

Different day, SOS.

Guns and Ammo is the most popular of the 2nd amendment rights rags.

First, some facts, before I delve into the fight, DR vs. G&A.

The attack in San Bernardino. The attackers almost matched the carnage of Eagle Boy Scout and Marine sharpshooter, Charles Whitman who killed 17 people and wounded 31.

They are not even close to the 168 killed and 680 injured in the attack carried out by former Army Sgt., and Bronze Star recipient Timothy McVeigh and his hardship case buddy Terry Nichols, in Oklahoma City.

More facts: 15 of 19 9-11 attackers were Saudis.

Saudi Arabia is the flash point of the coming war, depression and the underlying cause for the the impending cash and credit crisis.*

As for Trump and walls and isolation; it is too late. They, the terrorists are already here. Domestic and foreign.

The opening rounds have gone off.

And when Bonner's credit crisis hits, and he's retreated to his castle in Argentina, having fled the bloodbath he is predicting...

Where does that put his gold?

In an article in the New York Times, they show a spike in gun sales after a mass shooting, mainly because of the talk of gun restriction, and the Right's social program of NO GUN LEFT BEHIND.

So if Bonner is right, and the credit crisis becomes as dire as he predicts, and he has left the building for castles unknown, what will the rest of us be doing?

IF you have the Guns and Ammo, you will have the google map and the terrain scouted where the gold hoarders live and you will help yourself to their gold and year's supply of food and water.

In an ironic twist, the armed gangs will be practicing their own version of the Have's OBJECTIVISM, as touted in their Bible, Atlas Shrugged.

The thugs will practice a rational self-interest and self survival methodology rivaling the escapes and retreats of the rich.

That leaves the holed up survivalists, who have plenty of food, water, guns and ammo and a fortress. They will hunker down.

Well, that leaves the rest of us, either the unprepared, or those who will still believe in humanity and make their time meaningful with an idea in their heads that surviving and fleeing from a crisis is not worth the cost of giving up your soul.

This is a grim pic of the doom and gloom to come if Bonner is right, and he touts a pretty good track record on disasters (and prospering from them)...makes you wonder if there is an Illuminati or Cabal setting things in motion for their own financial gain.

Well, in addition to the above food for thought...

this is the time of the year I do some forum housekeeping, pruning and trimming our Bonsai forum, snipping out old posts which are not relevant, and I think no precious babes were tossed out with the bathwater.

We've got about 2 weeks to Christmas, and next week I'll have a very limited number, a very few... Holiday Packages, in the 250 and 500 dollar range, which will be do it for you packages, along with some surprises.

Yes, I read the financial pubs, Agora to Gartman, Weiss to Stansberry...as well as reloader express, some Gary North, et al.,

And I'll be reviving my doom, gloom and bliss blog on a PRIVATE forum.

Let's call it the Trump effect.

Opposite of Greenspan's "Irrational Exuberance"... we have entered the era of irrational fear mongering.

We do this every year, and I try to be respectful, but many posts are dated or irrelevant, like who is or isn't resigning from some other forum type thing.

The Bonner/North crowd sell into fear. That's how they make their money.

Fear sells. Insurance, water purifiers, guns, supplements... and politicians. Just read where Cruz is using data mining and pyschographic profiles to boost his campaign.

That's also what Trump (a financial deadbeat) is doing. He is riding the fear hype wave, distracting attention from where it should be, while the media controls the spin.

Please elucidate as to the where?

Trump's a master of propaganda. No one does it better.

No argument here.

In the wings waits the dragon lady, biding her time. Her lust for power knows no bounds.

Once again, a choice between a turd and a sheet sandwich?

There's one thing I can guarantee. At the end of Trump's or dragon lady's rainbow, is a lot less freedom than we currently enjoy, higher taxes/debt and war.

My opinion, it doesn't matter who sleeps in the White House, this is coming sooner rather than later.

Pick your poison carefully this political season. May be the last time you'll have the chance to do so.

You could be right, as right as Bill Bonner, we'll have to let it play out.

Different day, SOS. AGREED!

Yes, we have always had the fear mongerers, and in the Ayn Rand tradition, many marketers have said, "take their money before they give it to someone else"...

And are skilled in crafting the promotions of fear.

But, the reality, as hown on the SQ1 is our destiny is death...and when or if we acknowledge the outcome, it might make it easier to get on with living a life sans fear, or admiration of any man.

My dad made me clean the bathroom in the barber shop after the richest guy in town took a dump.

And the lesson was not lost on me...even rich guy's sheet STINKS although there are many one encounters who don't believe theirs does.

Fear no man. He can only kill you.

PS. And pack a glock just in case he tries.

F - False
E - Expectations
A - Appearing
R - Real

Really, what else is there to say? You can either believe it is real or look at it objectively (as possible).

Here is another startling fact. Government has seized more money and assets from the American public than all of the burglars and criminals combined. It is called Civil Asset Forfeiture. The law was authored by Dennis Hastert who is now, ironically, serving a federal term for violating the law he authored in the 70's.

Unfortunately we can't wait long enough for these bastards to eat their own.
