The obvious question lurking behind the headline is...who profits? The money lenders of course. What does it mean for gold? Most of you know.

This is truly a mind numbing update/reminder and of course implicates our favorite currency, safe haven and store of value.

I have only to guess that the average middle class American is just too rustrated or defeated to affect change. The political allegiances have become neutered. The greatest nation on earth has advanced cancer...and those that know the cure are either bought off, derided, ignored, emasculated, locked up or live in fear. It's almost surreal. We all see the asteroid coming as if it were only on a screen. Canadians are equally indifferent as if we are somehow not affected. Crazy.
