QUESTION:    Hi Martin, I was “of one mind” when it came to gold and silver and the shisters that clam “manipulation to the downside,” “gold is going to 5K,” and “gold has bottomed” and on an on. Your site is the only source of information that I trust anymore and thanks to you I […]

COMMENT: You are correct. I went to the London …. and they said there was a business cycle but it was random and but it could not be defined. Cheers RB REPLY: Yes.

We face the worst economic crisis, perhaps in modern history, with the distinct risk of moving into a state of Economic Totalitarianism.

The concept of a “leap” year was rather simple to understand. The Julian calendar was a direct calendar to measure time by solar cycles. The Hebrew and Babylonian […]
