My suspicion is that all these huge data centers will be used to greatly increase the power of the surveillance state to increase their monitoring of our private lives. Mao, Stalin, Xi, et. al could only dream of such a capacity to monitor all that we do. With the automation of all the new cars the government will really be able to control and monitor where and when and how far we will be able to travel. Only the imagination of the bureaucrats is capable of using such data to coerce compliance. Unless something stops the building out of all these huge data centers we can expect what is left of our freedom of thought and movement to gradually all disappear. Sadly, governments at all levels, state and local, are clearing the path for the construction of these behemoths.

When I was a kid, I used to get gumballs out of a machine for a penny. They all said, "Ford" on them. Guess they should now say "Ferarri"

Listening to the story of the lady whose account was wiped makes me think of how every time i enter my account they make me turn down receiving e-statements. Save the planet. 🙄. So you don’t have anything in hand to say you have e-money. I would really appreciate you guys doing a show on how we protect ourselves from the great taking ..especially after watching the events of the last few years. Thank you. I appreciate the honesty on how crazy things are in the market. Nothing is as it seems. I think somewhere between you Doug and Jeff Berwick may be the truth. 🤣

Thanks Doug, Getting ready to listen. Things feel so strange right now; it’s eerie. I made a quick list of some of the more consequential matters at hand. I suspect if one goes hard they all crash and burn (just a feeling).

Perhaps the most dangerous item of all is the Extremely Low Trust in our leaders. I have a sneaking suspicion the elite think because of the lockdown success during Covid and brainwashing in general we will take it from behind again. I would caution. There’s quite a chance if severe pain is felt things could get quite ugly IMHO.

Always enjoy the content. I really struggle with understanding the market reaction to current events. My mostly mining stock portfolio often suffers when rationally it should benefit. I can only hope at some point reality takes over.
