Joel Klotkin Tells It

Another fine interview — this one by the terse, yet somewhat edgy Steven Edginton of the Telegraph.

As for Klotkin, he’s your classic 60’s JEWISH LIBERAL separating as quickly as he can from the ABSURDITIES of WOKE PROGRESSIVISM.

As he says:

“People aren’t as stupid as progressives hope they are.”

He also asks what real choice is there between the LEFT-SUPPORTED STATE and RIGHT-SUPPORTED CAPITAL? 

Correct.  Where does that leave THE ENLIGHTENMENT?

Right where we feared. 

Plus the BACKLASH and BLACKLASH are here.

Here’s the interview.

Adam Taggart/James Turk

While I once met and talked with Adam Taggart at a weekend seminar, I only know James Turk as the result of a LONG PHONE CALL.

Some years ago, when we decided to make a MAJOR MOVE INTO METALS, I phoned James’ company and told the person I spoke with that we would only commit funds if I were allowed to “underwrite” the operation, including a PHONE INTERVIEW with James himself.

James agreed, and we spoke shortly thereafter for over an hour.  I’d prepared 22 questions regarding precious metals, their storage and the nuts and bolts of his operation — all of which he ANSWERED. 

Given the quality of his answers plus the impression I formed of him as forthcoming, knowledgeable and honest, WE COMMITTED THE FUNDS and have ADDED MORE since.

Here then is a chance to hear his case — one I agree with — that PRECIOUS METAL BULLION should comprise a material percentage of EVERYONE’S PORTFOLIO.  While the interview doesn’t reach the level of detail my phone conversation with him did, it covers the basics in full.

Peterson Excoriates the Woke

Simply the MOST BRILLIANT COUNTERATTACK MANIFESTO denouncing the ALL-CONSUMING MADNESS that is SJW/WOKE IDEOLOGY.

Talk about RIPPING the WOKE a NEW ONE.

ONE EXCERPT:

“We are now at the point where race, ethnicity, ‘gender,’ or sexual preference is first, accepted as the fundamental characteristic defining each person (just as the radical leftists were hoping) and second, is now treated as the most important qualification for study, research and employment.

“Need I point out that this is insane ? Even the benighted New York Times has its doubts. A headline from August 11, 2021: Are Workplace Diversity Programs Doing More Harm than Good? In a word, yes. How can accusing your employees of racism etc. sufficient to require re-training (particularly in relationship to those who are working in good faith to overcome whatever bias they might still, in these modern, liberal times, manifest) be anything other than insulting, annoying, invasive, high-handed, moralizing, inappropriate, ill-considered, counterproductive, and otherwise unjustifiable?”

Traditional Politics is Dead

From Charles Hugh Smith.

Says Smith:

“Representational democracy–a.k.a. politics as a solution to social and economic problems–has passed away. It did not die a natural death.”

And here’s what he says — and I quote — caused that UNNATURAL DEATH:

  1. The Federal Reserve transferred trillions of dollars of unearned wealth into the feeding troughs of the super-wealthy and corporations, vastly increasing the wealth the top 0.01% had to buy elections and favors.
  2. The Supreme Court betrayed the nation’s representative democracy by labeling corporations buying elections and political favors a form of “free speech.”
  3. The two political parties betrayed their traditional voter bases to kneel at the altar of corporate / elite wealth, wealth which bought elections and political favors. 

The piece in its entirety.  And it’s short.

Politics Is Dead, Here’s What Killed It

Asia: Batteries R Us

Battery raw materials?  No problem.  Battery pollution?  No problem.

Asian economies are now PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINES and won’t let up for ANYTHING save IRREDEEMABLE COLLAPSE.  Which, of course, could still occur.

In the meantime, though, it’s BATTERIES and MORE BATTERIES for tomorrow’s EV fleets.  Assuming those fleets are built.

Where More Men Work

Women may want equal pay for equal work — AND THAT’S FINE — but when it comes to danger, women are seldom as INTERESTED.  Proving BEYOND A DOUBT that not all equity is equally desirable.

Here are America’s MOST DANGEROUS JOBS — ALL MALE DOMINATED.

And, frankly, that’s as it SHOULD BE.  Few women are cut out for these and similar occupations — say, for instance, WORKING ON OIL RIGS IN THE ARCTIC.

And that’s NATURE’S PROGRAMMING, not men’s.  Women are more suited for OTHER PURSUITS.
