You can see a rising chart -- or an erosion of the base. If you turn it a bit to look head on, it looks like two eyes with a nose, and smirk under the ground. Interesting symbolism, the ostensible "rising" hiding the undermining (if you look at it another way). Sounds a lot like Keynes, in this admission from his Economic Consequences of the Peace: "By a continuous process of inflation, governments can confiscate secretly and unobserved an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction — and does it in a manner in which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." Let us pray the bigwigs gamble all on pre-buying the fiat currency they'll foist on us (perhaps in September?), ... and sell all their precious metals to those who see things from a longer term perspective. - Pat Henry Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:29:31 +0100
