Thanks, Rafi, for posting that video and exposing how the real world works in the metals markets, and why we need to do something about it.

It reminded my of 'The Truman Show' when he was going off-script trying to escape from the town. All sorts of fires/calamities/events were happening all at once to make him turn back

Rafi & Alasdair,

thank you for sharing your knowledge about real money both from a historical, philosophical and from a Austrian perspective. It’s not easy to „loose“ false knowledge and understand & apply the truth. I feel I am in the company I want to be in, in the same trench with folks who do not shy away speaking the truth. My savings in physical have recently paid for a used tractor. And I didn’t even have to touch it. I am grateful. Best from Germany.

May I ask how you were able to buy your used tractor without touching your physical? I know in India that people commonly use their physical as collateral for loans, but, then, of course, one has a loan. I would imagine that is what you must have done? It seems like a logical step as the credit markets implode.

A perfect example of the true state of our civilization that talks endlessly of the "rule of law". We experience this phenomenon more and more frequently as our economy becomes more and more concentrated. Call for help and, if you are lucky enough to reach a human, very quickly you find that you have driven just off the script and the ability to get anything done evaporates.

I just wonder what it will be like if one day the internet has problems - real or fabricated - what will we do when no one can answer the phone at our bank that we have not physically visited in years. Or if the branch is still open, what will we do when they tell us the connectivity to the banks system is not working and therefore there is no record of you having any "money" with the bank. How many people even bother to keep track of an up to date Statement and just what is the legal standing of that Statement...

Someone will immediatly say, "Bitcoin fixes that"...does it ? Despite all, trust lies at the foundation of every social system. Perhaps money itself is a substantiation of TRUST.

In Australia we have a pension system called superannuation. Either run or administered by a fund or you can choose to manage it yourself. When I tried to go self managed 2.5 years ago it took over 6 months and multiple interactions just get my own funds released to me. And no you cannot even talk to a human being you have log a ticket via their website and wait up to 5 business days for a response and every time you need to interact one issue even if you got a crap answer the clock starts over. It was excruciating

This is phenomenal. It proves that the work of David Rogers Webb is 100% correct. Beyond the broker no one knows who is the owner of the contract or stocks and bonds.

I loved it! Wish I had such patience.

That sounded so painful. They should really publish a guide on how to do it but then I guess obfuscation and delay is part of the strategy to keep the shine stuff in the hole

I saw Rafi`s video back then and yes...unreal the hoops / traps at every level..to stand for delivery

proving COmex is a CONex ops.

They pretend that it is a level & fair playing field, but control & change the rules

which is why the Brics, ain´´t playing but killing the Comex...

E.x...the GLD allows delivery.....IF..you own...50.000 con-tracts...

It seems that Trump is getting.....excatly..what he didn´`t want...

The whole world ganging up against.."the Bully"...

Which was the whole point..of the Ukrainian booby trap to Destroy the EU...( a Cia plot)

Big Thank you to all of you that made this video experience possible.

Alasdair for posting it and Rafi, Marcus and Andy for making possible the transaction.

Me personally I rather deal with Elijah K Johnson and he gets me done in five minutes.

Peace be with you all
