-The Senate Judiciary Chair is calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the uranium deal.
-Steve asks if the uranium deal is still standing? It has not been rescinded.
-The defecation impinges on the rotary oscillator.
-Jason bought bitcoins and will be using those profits to buy gold semi-numismatic coins. What does And think of that?
-Jimmy Rogers says we’re in for the worse bear market of our lifetime, probably next year. Debt is much higher than in 2008. Chinese could spend money for bailout then, now they’re in debt too. FANG stocks – Facebook, Apple, Netflix, Google -are the tech titans in the market.
-Safer to be on the sidelines until the stock market settles down. Stock market overdue for a correction.
-Dollar index was 102 in January 2017. Now it’s 94. Needed to make 6% on your money to even break even. With any investment yielding 6% today, need to worry about return on principal rather than return of principal.
-Bitcoin is like Enron in the making.
-Charles Hugh Smith argues the US won’t stop buying bitcoins because the people who control the USG are all in. Top 10% of all assets in the country are investing in bitcoin. 50% of all bitcoin income is in the top 10%.
-Lincoln created greenbacks to finance the Civil War. Eisenhower created notes to finance interstate construction. Kennedy created notes and silver certificates to come up with $500 million. The boys didn’t like that.
-Gary Hart chaired the subcommittee that revealed how the CIA and FBI had their hands in the cookie jar and were involved in the JFK assassination. His reward for revealing that was getting caught on the yacht with a girl – they followed him with a camera.
-Richard Schweiker, PA congressman, said the Warren Commission collapsed like a house of cards.
-Watergate linked to JFK. The same Cuban exiles were involved in both the Bay of Pigs coverup and in Watergate.
-The Czechs and Austria elected their own Trumps.
-Andy says we are the best. American culture is superior. The view from the left – anyone holding those beliefs are considered to be nationalists today, a bigot, having flawed thinking. NYC mayor wanted US flags removed from NYC firetrucks.
-Mike notes that stamp collecting has declined with the decline in personal mail. With increasing use of electronic money, will coins be valued for their metal content or as antiquities?
-Stamp collecting declined because once the UN was given franking privileges, paid for by the Postal Service, they started making collector stamps and flooded the market. Killed the marketplace for stamp collecting. Stamps up to FDR’s time are still collectible and appreciate in value. But supplies of UN stamps are so enormous, that marketplace is dead.
-Listener asks for investment opportunities other than gold and silver coins. Andy will not comment; he’s not comfortable investing in any stock. Any investment suggestion is for physical tangibles in fixed supply, and he’s not familiar with anything other than gold and silver coins.
-Any tax deal this year? No. Some legislators would rather burn Washington to the ground than let Trump succeed.
-Sylvia asks how many gallons of gas are sold in the US each day and the amount of taxes collected on it? Taxes are supposed to be dedicated to infrastructure repair, but they’re not. $143 billion a year of taxes come in.
-Telephone call between LBJ and Hoover the day after JFK’s assassination. Phone call somehow got erased, but there is a transcript of the call, which was about Oswald supposedly being in Mexico City claiming he wanted to kill JFK, but the image doesn’t match.
-Photographer of JFK’s corpse testified he didn’t take the photos shown of JFK’s body.
-Operation Northwoods was planned to be a simulated attack on the US and blame placed for it on Cuba. This was the beginning of the revelations of false flag operations.
