The dollar was literally tied by law to the price of gold until 1971, so this is a weird graph to see. Notice how much the price of gold fluctuated even while being fixed to the dollar. Hence why it became illegal to privately hold gold reserves in the early 20th century.
Also, the price of gold should be the global indicator of inflation. So if we had an honest government that was honest about the rate of inflation, this graph would be a straight line.
If money is your idol, you are someone else's slave. Because money is artificial, which means that somebody makes it. And so you will be whipped around by the men who make the money and make the rules for the markets.
Smart rich people know that money gets things, but so do other things besides money. Rich people especially know that some things cannot be bought with money, and so you need other ways of pushing your weight around. So rich people use their money to buy power and special friends. Rich people seek after the things money cannot buy.
Smart poor people also know that money can't get you everything because they have good things that other people covet and they don't have money. Imagine having 50 close family relatives, for example. Sometimes poor people can leverage their good things for money, but they usually aren't good with money, so it doesn't make sense to do so unless they are desperate.
Money is a tool but it's not the end goal. Determine what the end goal actually is and then learn to maximize for that. Time and talent should be considered as your more important currency. If your money goes up but your family is unhappy or unhealthy, then you are spending your time wrong.
If you think greed of money is the best or even the best way to do capitalism, read Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith. Money is just a data point.
He documents how the Spainish monarchs destroyed their empire by their greed for gold. Gold was the common currency of the European monarchies. The British, on the other hand, learned to use the gold to gain more valuable things and so they ended up dominating commerce.
The Cornell 7 case is clearly a tar baby for the right.
I've never seen so many idiots come out in support of liberal drug addicts just because they are educated men.
A bunch of criminals having a drug fueled orgy are now complaining about rape and we're supposed to care if they get arrested? Great way to lose the moderates in the midterms.
The memorial reminds us that after getting hit by giant airplanes, these towers neatly collapsed into their footprint on the ground.
But I'm also surprised they didn't rebuild WTC 7. That one had no business falling down, so they should have just rebuilt it to gaslight us that it never fell.
Ethiopia has one of the oldest Christian traditions of all time. And now Europe is anti-Christian. So white and Christian are not the same. Paul said that there is no Greek or Hebrew and that we are one in Christ.
So it sounds like you became Jewish at some point and you still don't realize it.
Jesus casted a demon out of a man at the synagogue. It's very possible for you to go to church and yet be Jewish or demonic in your heart. Get to know the fruits of the Spirit and inspect yourself if you really think you are Christian.
I said Christian empires. You said white empires.
Christianity values whether you swear fealty to Jesus Christ. Judaism is all about bloodline.
I don't think you would be part of the Christian West, or if you were, you would be relegated to a Jewish enclave and you would generally not be allowed to do business with Christians.
There was a time when Christians fought gentleman wars against each other. Napolean and his Jewish bankers really shut that down, and we have more Jewish bankers continuing to push barbarism on the West.
Look at each culture's martial arts. Americans went from boxing to mixed martial arts. But they still ban Krav Maga, which is Israeli martial arts.
Israeli martial arts teaches the combatant to cheat at every turn and to brutalize your opponent in victory. Why didn't the geniuses in the US think of this? They actually did, but they considered it morally wrong. Christians and former Christians believed it to be a pointless victory if you became evil in order to win.
The Israeli innovation is to base their culture on Satanic morality. The Jewish bankers got the state they were seeking for centuries. And they now have former Christian countries joining in on barbarism, too.
There is no such thing as a war crime.
The big issue for me in consuming seed oils is the hexane that is used to extract the seed oils from the seeds. Hexane is so toxic that many scientists don't allow it to be used in their research labs because of the fumes alone.
This study somehow didn't measure the amount of hexane in the sample. Granted, it's really hard to detect, given how little of it is needed to make you sick. But still, that's the thing I'm worried about, not slight adulterations.
Additionally, there are some olive oils that use hexane to extract fully from the olives. So those are olive oils that I do not want. We only buy the extra virgin olive oil rather than the crappy cooking olive oil that may contain hexane.
And you can get clean seed oils if you buy oils that have been extracted by cold press.
Energy should be getting cheaper per KWh over the last 50 years. This is how the economy is supposed to work because energy can be manufactured. And a capitalist economy should be improving productivity over the years.
Gold cannot be manufactured. It's mined at a low rate, which keeps the supply low enough to avoid market saturation.
Food prices are going up, too. The economy is still undergoing stagflation.
One of the biggest blackpills is seeing the cost of gold in USD since 1800 until now. You can see it remain relatively steady for over 100 years. And then around 1917 it just started to climb and climb.
In 1800, gold was $20/oz. In 1900, gold was $20/oz. In 2000, gold was $280 an oz. In 2026, its $4000/oz.
Lance Oppenheim is known for producing Primetime, which is a hit piece on Chris Hanson. Oppenheim seems like a bad dude. Possibly a pedo.
Nathan Fielder is definitely a sociopath. It's why his comedy show "Nathan for You" was so funny. He could manipulate people into doing insane things for the sake of a business idea. I was legit excited to see a sociopathic comedian make a documentary about another sociopath.
But I can't support the film with Oppenheim at the helm. It just seems like demons filming one another trying to be convincing.
