The Pathetic, Willfully Ignorant, Anti-Gold Argument!


Buy Gold Online Today at APMEX.com

I have reprinted the moronic article below, with my comments immediately following (in bold), to help illustrate the "mindset" of the average sheeple towards the sanity of precious metal investing. May God preserve us from these poor, trusting, ignorant sheep for whom the slaughter is soon to come! PS. Be patient. You have to read through their pathetic "attempt" at humor in the first part of the article.

Bed Bugs, Stink Bugs and Gold Bugs – What’s the difference?

October 22, 2010

Evidently Bugs are all the rage today. We have Bed Bugs Infesting New York City, we have Stink Bugs infesting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and we have Gold Bugs infesting the entire country.

Let’s define Stink Bugs, Generally they look like this vile creature:

Stink Bugs infest your home, your car and your house. You can’t kill them because they let out a vile smell that is similar to having a skunk bomb your living room. So you have to vacuum them up, or do like what most residents of Pennsylvania do, use a tissue and pick up that thing and drop it in the toilet and flush it down.

These vile animals are not from America, they were imported by Toyota in the 1990′s from Japan, rumour has it that some car salesman in Allentown. PA opened up the Toyota to make a sale… saw those stink bugs sitting there… he killed one one of them… learned why they are called “stink bugs” and then proceeded to swoosh them off rather than killing them so the client didn’t see them (or smell them).

10 years later, the entire North East is infected with them as birds won’t even eat them due to the stench. Sounds like a terrible Zombie movie.

Let’s define Bed Bugs, Generally they look like this vile creature:

This isn’t a joke. Bed Bugs are vampires. Sink Bugs are terrible because they are highly annoying. Bed Bugs are terrible because they drink human blood. They sneak up on you in the middle of the night and feast on your blood. They live for a year without any food, but they do wait.. and wait they do until you sleep.. they smell the carbon dioxide from your breath and they flock to feast on your blood while you sleep.

They inject a small dosage of anaesthetic so you don’t feel the bite and wake up, then they eat you until they are full.

Wonderful beasts.

They used to be controlled via a pesticide called DDT but it’s been banned due to serious side effects. In other words that “cure” is worst than the Bed Bugs themselves.

Let’s define Gold Bugs, Generally they look like this vile creature:

This is the worst of the worst. Bed Bugs are vampires, stink bugs are skunks, but Gold Bugs… wow they are an amazing breed.

Many of them believe that the entire economic system is abound to collapse. They are in the process of buying Gold Coins, Guns and Ammo and building their bunker stocked with food clothing. They are storing Gold coins to barter when “cash becomes worthless and the economy collapses”.

They are stocking up on Guns and Ammo because they feel that “they are the only ones prepared for the eventual end of the world” And you can’t forget the daily candle night reading of the Bible.

These people are the definition of Gold Bugs. They do come in many forms. Some of “smarter ones” are “Silver Bugs” because they feel that Gold is too much currency to do daily trades. Others mass in other types of assets. But the strategy is the same, horde up because everyone will be coming to you for product X or Y because you’re the only guy in town with it.

The end result is that these people feel with a mix of hyperinflation, unemployment and total debt in the US it has nowhere to go but bad.

So there you have it people, the three major bugs in the media today, all on one article.

Enjoy the new reality.

Is The Silver Boom Over?


Is the silver boom over? Has everyone caught up and overbought the market, like the internet stock boom and the real estate home markets? In a word, no.

My proof for the above claim? Ask your neighbors (or yourself) to identify the large picture above. Give up? Don't feel bad, the vast majority of Americans have never seen one of these things much less owned one of these beautiful coins. Hint: they are one troy ounce of silver and are official US currency denominated as a $1.00 coin. Theoretically, you could spend it to buy a pack of gum at 7-11 or pay your taxes. Of course, you would have to be a complete moron to do so since each coin is currently selling for around $25.00 per, the spot price of silver on 10/08/10 plus a $2.00 per coin premium.

Answer: It's an American Silver Eagle, the most famous and widely collected silver bullion coin in the world minted by the US Mint since 1986. Millions are sold each year, but if you split all the ASE coins previously minted among all US citizens there wouldn't be more than one per person! I ask you, is that overbought? The US Mint has already made $35 billion dollars in worthless base metal quarters for their "State Quarter" program. Now, if that's not an outrageous example of overbought (and overproduced) I just don't know the meaning of the term!

The vast majority of Americans have barely begun to wake up to the value of precious metals like gold and silver again after years of mind-numbing fiat currency (paper money not backed by gold or silver, or indeed, anything...real). Even should everyone suddenly wake up and start to buy silver, the yearly supply of 650 million ounces is only enough for each American to purchase 2 ounces per year for about $45 per citizen (or the cost of a date night movie with popcorn and candy). Of course, if this country-wide buying were to occur it would leave absolutely nothing for industry which is finding more uses for silver everyday from new hybrid car batteries to antibacterial bandages.

I knew the real estate bubble was getting ready to burst when my highly fiscally conservative brother, Mike, started talking about buying houses and fixing them up as an easy route to riches a few years ago just before the bust. So far, despite cajoling him for the last 2 years, I haven't talked him into buying even one ounce of silver. To be fair, however, he's in good company still. Only a fraction of 1% of Americans own any actual physical silver or gold coins, bars, rounds etc. Not much of an "overbought bubble" to my way of thinking! Compare that tiny ownership number to the number of troubled "under water" homeowners who bought houses they couldn't really afford in the last 10 years! In fact, a recent article stated that one home is foreclosed upon every minute of every day! Now that's overbought!

In conclusion, I'm not going to worry about the precious metal bubble bursting until my stick-in-the-mud brother starts stocking up along with all his average American friends on Gold and Silver American Eagles and pre-1965 "junk" 90% silver coinage (dimes, quarters, halves, dollars)! Maybe I should start a newsletter with a subscription fee and call it "My Brother Mike End of Bubble Newsletter". I could make thousands!

Silver and gold still have a long way to go in an uncertain economy, unconscionably high multi-trillion dollar debt, inflation and coming hyperinflation, governmental idiocy, and a world that is growing increasingly sick of our wars, deficit spending, free health care giveaways etc.

Time is running out fast! Hyperinflation seems unavoidable as fiat paper money is being printed as fast as the US presses can run. To protect your wealth and your family, buy gold and silver now from these top companies, APMEX Gold and Silver and Silver American Eagles.

Is ET Messing With Our Nukes?

A group of retired US AIR FORCE officers and enlisted personnel have stepped forward today, September, 27, 2010, to announce UFO's have been monitoring and/or interfering with the American, British, and the nuke weapons of other countries! You can do a search in Google news for a variety of articles on the topic.

If this is occurring, I think the following motives could be possible:

Note: I disregard as unlikely the possibility that they just care about us for no selfish reason. I just don't buy the "guardian angel" hypothesis! I also don't think they're trying to set off the weapons either. If so, they're not very technically competent - yet they've managed to transverse great spans of space/time to get to Earth?!

My theories for ET nuclear weapon tinkering:

1. We're their experiment in genetics/evolution, and they're not ready to end the experiment prematurely (or allow us to destroy ourselves).

2. Earth is a precious life planet (which they may own), and they don't want it irradiated because it has plants/animals/resources/trade or military bases etc., that they don't want glowing as they need them.

3. They're us from the future, so they're monkeying with the past to stop us from destroying or negatively impacting their civilization in our future.

4. They're experimenting with deactivating the weapons as a prelude to invasion. Perhaps. However, I usually tend to discount the whole "Independence Day" theories as travelers with the tech to space/time travel would be at least as far ahead of us (and our weapons) as we would from the Australian Aborigine. It would just be too easy to hang out in cloaked space or behind the moon and design computer and/or biologically targeted viruses etc., and destroy us without we Terrans firing even one shot. I mean, how hard would it be for a flight of USAF jets to wipe out an unsuspecting primitive village without taking even one American casualty?

5. Nuclear weapons represent a threat to the time/space continuum and/or the magnetic field of the Earth that the Alien ships are reputed to use in navigation and propulsion.

What do you think?

Judge Orders Gay Officer Reinstated


The U.S. military violated the constitutional rights of decorated Air Force Reserve flight nurse, Maj. Margaret Witt, when it discharged her under the "don't ask, don't tell" ban on gays in the armed forces, a federal judge said Friday, September 24, 2010 in ordering her reinstatement.

The judge did the wrong thing for the right reasons. Of course, gays should have a right to serve their nation in war and in peace as they have (in secret) throughout the history of the US. However, judicial activism is an end-run around the legislative and executive bodies of our government that is being used too frequently. Undermining the delicate balance of our republic during the present economic chaos and in war time is an unacceptable risk. Unfortunately, I think the greater good will only be achieved when the electorate of this country uses their constitutional power to force their legislators to right the current discriminatory policies against gays in the military.

Earth Will Never Colonize Mars!

Whenever I watch a Discovery Channel program discussing the possibility of a permanent Terran colony on Mars, I always go nuts! Why? Because there are a number of very good reasons that Mars is presently classified as a "dead planet" (excluding possible deep soil extremeophile bacteria or other simple life forms, of course).

Yes, I'm aware that we already know how to warm up a planet using greenhouse gases like methane, carbon dioxide etc. Of course, such a process would require a century or two and the expenditure of trillions of dollars (at $10,000+ a pound) to heat up the Red Planet. However, even an artificially warmed Mars is still a DEATH TRAP for at least two of the following reasons:

1. Mars has no magnetosphere because the core cooled billions of year ago. As a result, the poor world lost it's atmosphere in the distant past due to repeated solar storms, CME's (Coronal Mass Ejections), etc. A colony on Mars would have to frequently retreat to deep underground caverns to be protected from solar storms and the accompanying radiation. In addition, the terraforming process would never really ever be done as the atmosphere would be continually venting into space on a regular basis during solar events. To me, it's like filling a balloon with a hole in it, or bailing a lifeboat with a gash in the keel. Visiting astronauts could handle solar storms with the proper preparation, vigilance, and Earth-based assistance. On the other hand, a major CME impacting upon a human civilization on unprotected Mars would be disastrous.

2. Mars does not have a large moon to help stabilize it's axial tilt as the lucky Earth does. Over millions of years the axis of Mars shifts chaotically. Any long term colonization effort would certainly be catastrophically effected by the unpredictable axial movements. Imagine the mega tsunamis, earthquakes, windstorms, weather changes etc., that a warm, wet Mars would suffer in a 45 degree axial shift! Just a fraction of that shift here on Earth would most certainly be enough to obliterate our existing human society, if not the entire race. Short-term scientific bases could certainly afford to ignore this remote hazard, but not a long-term permanent Terran colony. Indeed, a Martian colony purported by people like Dr. Chris McKay to be our ultimate species diversification effort could not afford to overlook such a serious hazard!

The unfortunate reality is simple. Mars is merely the best of the three very unsuitable inner solar system planets, currently within our range of technology. Bankrupting the Earth, however, to plant a permanent Terran civilization on Mars is like forcing yourself to chose the best-looking woman at a single's party for never married woman in their 50's and 60's. It's not going to be pretty no matter who (or what) you select! Personally, my advice would be to stay single and wait for a better opportunity.

I'm all for the exploration of space. However, we need to understand that the Earth is the creator and the ultimate custodial parent of our race for the conceivable present and future. We can visit with manned craft our fellow worlds like Mercury, Venus, and Mars if we have the will, but we'll always be only unexpected guests dropping by to say a quick hello. Of course our technology is quickly developing, but how advanced will we have to become to create an entire planetary magnetic field and fabricate a Moon-sized body in the proper orbit? Unfortunately, there just is no realistic second home within our solar system.

Until the development of a Star Trek level of cheap, faster-than-light travel or other similar sci-fi high tech advance that can take us to other stellar systems, our race is stuck on this blue-green ball. We need to focus on the business of staying alive here for the long haul, rather than looking for ways to skip out on the mess we've created.

Idiots Collecting State Quarters!

I recently heard that about 160 million misguided Americans have wasted their time and money collecting the completely worthless so-called "state quarters"!

It is my hope that this article will enlighten the readers to realize their mistake in purchasing the US State Quarters, and invest their scarce monetary resources instead in an infinitely wiser capacity.

Now, I don't have a problem with some grandmother buying a map of the US with places for each of the 50 quarters. Heck, that sounds like a good geography lesson for some grandkid for about $30. No, my problem lies with the stacks of bricks that amateur "collectors" are buying in some misguided attempt at making an investment for the future.

There are only 2 factors that increase the value of coins over a period of years, and the state quarter possesses NEITHER of these qualities.

1. The coins should be made from precious metals like gold or silver. The state quarter like all quarters made for circulation since 1965 are made from 92% copper and 8% nickel, or worthless base metals. Yes, the "proof" versions do indeed contain 90% silver, but are so severely overpriced that realizing any future profit from them is highly unlikely.

2. The coins must be rare. To date there have been $34 billion worth of these quarters minted for circulation, making them one of the highest minted coins in the history of the world! A thousand years from now archaeologists will be throwing these things away as ubiquitous and bothersome relics, more closely akin to beer flip tabs than valuable relics!

What should you do if you have a hoard of these valueless slugs? Either pay your utility, grocery, or tolls with them, or go to your neighborhood bank and exchange these cheap con items in for paper folding money ASAP. Then buy as much 90% junk silver coins dating 1964 and prior (dimes, quarters, halves) as you can. Check out www.coinflation.com to see the going rate prices for these coins based on the value per ounce of silver. These coins are made from 90% valuable silver, and after the infamous Great Melt of 1980 there are no more than a total of $500 million (face value) still in existence today (compare that with $34 billion in state quarters alone that are loitering about the country at this moment)!

Time is running out fast! Hyperinflation seems unavoidable as fiat paper money is being printed as fast as the US presses can run. To protect your wealth and your family, buy gold and silver now from these top companies, APMEX Gold and Silver and Silver American Eagles.

How to ID a Junk Silver Coin

Finding out whether your US coin is 90% silver or not is easy.

1. The first test is to check the date. If your dime, quarter, or half dollar is dated prior to 1965 your coin is 90% silver.

2. Another test is check the reeded edges for the "copper/nickel sandwich". If you see a band of copper around your coin that means it's made of about 92% copper sandwiched in by 8% nickel. Be careful! You have a fake zombie coin on your hands!

On the other hand, if the reeded edges are all silver colored, then you're 90% silver and all good!

3. If you got good ears and a lot of patience, you can try the "ring test". A silver coin when hit makes a clear ringing sound, while base coins make more of a short plink. Sometimes it worked for me, but most often I just ended up dropping the coins all over the floor!

Time is running out fast! Hyperinflation seems unavoidable as fiat paper money is being printed as fast as the US presses can run. To protect your wealth and your family, buy gold and silver now from these top companies:
