What is taking place in the MINERS is just SINFUL. The Gold & Silver miners are really the money creators of the world. To see banks get away with the facade of creating money makes me sick. It’s like stealing the MERITS of a fallen soldier who deserves the Purple Heart for instance.
The PENDULUM always swings back — even though we might not be patient enough to see it.

Hello everyone. Sorry about not producing any articles or many blog posts in the past month or so. Finally got serious and have been very busy putting together all the information for the site.
Jim Willie was kind enough to chat with me on the phone a few times and put some of my work in his most recent JAN PAID REPORTS. Even though there have been several people who told me I should start a site… ole WILLIE pushed me over the edge.
The reason why I wanted to write this post here… I can see how lousy the SENTIMENT has become in the gold and silver community. THANK GOD, I now understand that:
ENERGY = MONEY
By that I mean in the form of TRADE-ABLE ENERGY. I have had some email replies telling me that I was a bit off and there is no energy in a 1 oz Silver Coin — even though some may believe that… there sure is. Matter of fact.. everything we do is mostly energy.
Gold & Silver will be the best stores of value because they are stores of trade-able energy. If a person does not see that and they are on the FENCE about the precious metals… this negative sentiment will surely drive them to sell. This has got to be the most frustrating parts of understanding this principle — seeing what others can’t. And knowing they are making a huge mistake.

any ETA on “the end” I wonder.
I have listened to countless youtube videos and read countless articles on investing in miners… I just can’t trust anything in paper that I can’t touch. And who’s to say they won’t nationalize the mines if SHTF anyways. Your stocks can always make about the finest outhouse wallpaper you have ever seen.
I agree, I want something solid I can hold, not digital paper in a computer saying I own X
FUNDAMENTALS ALWAYS WIN OUT IN THE END…… ALWAYS..
The bigger question is: WHEN IS THE END!!!! LMAO
at this point with the way they are kicking the can, it seems the end will end up being the end for all of us..
lmao.
When is the end? Don’t worry, its not much longer. Its rather obvious how fast things are collapsing.
This should answer all your questions:
The fundaments always win, and February ASE sales already side last year’s February sales!

with any luck they will continue at a torrid pace and even eclipse 2011.
That being the case, these bastards run the casino, so until it breaks, we’re broke.. LMAO!
I don’t think i would have ever thought of gold & silver as trade-able energy if i hadn’t had the privilege of reading your extremely insightful awesome…. posts. Thanks so much! My hope gold & silver will increase slowly so more people will be able to see the truth. I think now, it will most likely increase so fast that most people will not even be able to afford “GODS MONEY” Favorite bible verse: Proverbs 2 verse 3 & 4 If you seek WISDOM like SILVER & like treasure seek her out, then understanding & knowledge you will find. Thanks again SD & SRSrocco
What is money? What are its key attributes?
The major commonly accepted properties of money:
http://goldsilver.com/getting-started-guide/chapter-one/
Exchangability - Is able to be used as an intemediary in trade
Accountability – able to be numbered and counted
Durability – has a long usable life
Divisability – It can be divided into smaller units; you can make ‘change’
Portability – Easy to carry or transport
Fungibility – Units are of equal value e.g. all American Silver Eagles are of equal value
Store of value – Retains its purchasing power over long periods of time
Energy fails to exhibit these characterisitcs, perhaps with the exception of Accountability, although even this is dubious, given the numerous forms that energy takes.
ENERGY is NOT MONEY.
It follows that MONEY cannot store ENERGY.
Money is a store of the intangible properties of WEALTH and PURCHASING POWER – in other words VALUE
One could certainly argue a case for energy being used to barter for something else. That does not make it money any more than chickens, pigs, tobacco or liquor are money (they are not). These things may be regarded as currency, but not money. Money has the unique properties mentioned above.
Silver and gold are not easy to come by. They are relatively SCARCE. The same cannot be said of energy.
Of course it takes energy to produce Silver & Gold. It also takes energy to produce every tabgible and intangible good and service. This being the case, it is a nonsense argument to talk about the stored energy component of every good and service. Why try to do it then?
Some gold mines produce 6g per tonne. Others produce 13g per tonne. The energy to produce each gram therefore differs, but the energy required to process each tonne is approxiamtely the same. So which is it to be? Energy/g or energy per tonne processed? Does each minted silver or gold coin come with an input energy certificate? Of course not.
ENERGY is NOT MONEY!
MONEY DOES NOT STORE ENERGY.
Money only stores WEALTH; PURCHASING POWER; i.e. VALUE.
Speros… while I appreciate all the time you took to reply why you think ENERGY does not EQUAL money… you have failed to prove it. This is something I will be discussing in later articles and interviews.
all the best

A quick side note.
Millions of people are piling on the precious metals purchasing band wagon. This site, along with several others, get hundreds of thousands of unique views a month. That adds up to millions of people who are seeing the light. The internet phenomenon will accelerate precious metals purchases into a flood. That’s already started and shortages are evidence of this thrust into the strong stacking psychology. Individually, people may not grasp the situation we are in; a situation that is increasingly dire, I don’t criticize people who have not woken up to what is going on around us every day. I do salute those who take time out of their busy days to become educated and spread the word.
Most people are so buried in their dailiness of their lives they are nearly overwhelmed by the continual assault of Life 2-0. It’s tough to stay up to speed; nearly impossible in some cases since the overall problems are so multifaceted.
But the simple fact of the matter is that millions of us see the barbarians are past the gate. Everyone we can educate or warn is having the desired effect. We may have to make those suggestions or warnings many times before that certain something in a person’s life gets them to listening instead of rejecting the message. Every one of us who posts and blogs on these sites may end up educating that one person who ends up ‘breaking the camel’s back’ The messages may sound repetitive and yes, they are, but there’s no sin in repeating the message. How often do you reread a book, any book and particularly a Holy Book, and find something new.
Never give up, Never stop. This is a battle that will last more than one lifetime.
It does not matter if we don’t always agree 100% on any one subject. We do agree on the main themes that are reported on this site and that’s the important thing.
AGXIIK,
Ihope there’s room on this forum for a robust discussion. Isn’t that what it’s for?
Good posts, thanks for your contributions Steve.
We are on an accelerated path, practically out of control.
One method of maintaining some control is with the purchase of PMs.
Hi Speros You are so right about the robust discussions. Active, aggressive and forthright discussions and the give and take of this site are some of its best qualities. Thank you for posting the aspects of money, particularly precious metals. Your post got me to thinking about how important it is to have so many voices offering up viewpoints that we can take and make part of our knowledge base.
When I mentioned those who haven’t woken up yet to the realities of our present state, this is not to say they are not able to; they just may not have heard about what we almost take for granted here in the alternative media. But the messages are getting out and speading exponentially
From what I’ve heard this site does have hundreds of thousands of unique views a month, maybe more. We all get a chance and opportunity to voice our thoughts, making a case that might end up changing someone’s mind and setting them on a different path. It was a total process of change for me.
A little less than 2 years ago I came to this site and set about a complete change in thinking which is still an ongoing process. It’s a breath of fresh air to see so many people of divergent opinions add to the common and uncommon themes and education found here. Reading each post and taking in what others say is what has up coming back for more.
My best regards to you.
When we say that money is a store of value, we also need to define what ‘value’ is. Perhaps the best way to view money is actually as a store of labor (which could be argued is a form of energy). For example, when people use money to buy something, that something was likely the product of the labor of others. People trade their labor in exchange for something that is universally able to buy the labor as well as the products that that labor produces. When a repair is needed or new construction of something is necessary, money can be used to bring these things about, because people are willing to work for money. Money buys labor, and even things are ultimately made by the labor of others.
When money is viewed as a store of labor, it is easy to see why debt is a form of slavery. And creating money of of debt results ultimately in the enslavement of all at the hands of a few. It is easy then to understand why those with money need not do any labor, because money buys labor. And thus money also means power and control. And when money is viewed as a store of labor, it is also easy to understand why creating money out of nothing is so wrong. Why should anyone be willing to work in return for something that someone else was able to conjure up out of nothing? Only slaves work for free, and even then slaves work in return for basic sustenance.
The fundamental premise in all of this is that, because our money is corrupt, everything else that ensues will also be corrupt. So, unless and until a sound monetary system is restored, nothing that is wrong about the present financial and economic system of the world will or can change. And those who benefit from the existence of a corrupt money system will do everything that is within their power to perpetuate the system at the expense of everyone else.
