It's apparent that many people, especially Europeans are playing with half a deck.
The American Government is not and has never been "in abeyance" as a result of the "disappearance" of the States of America Confederation.
The important part of our Government, that is, the sovereign and unincorporated Government, is the Federation of States, not the Confederation, which was merely a convenience serving as a Subcontractor for the Federation.
Please note, to underscore this fact, the Union and the Federation conducted all business for this country from 1776 to 1781, a period of five (5) years, before the Confederation even existed.
.Gold Price Prediction – Prices Rally Post Trade Agreement Signing
.Gold Price Prediction – Prices Rally Post Trade Agreement Signing
David Becker FX Empire January 15, 2020,
Gold prices rallied following the signing of the US-China trade deal. Surprisingly Chinese networks reported that the lack of President Xi not attending the signing pointed the blame at the number 2. US yields eased as riskier assets continued to gain traction, which put downward pressure on the dollar. This paved the way for higher gold prices.
Technical Analysis
Gold prices pushed higher and sliced through short term resistance near the 10-day moving average which is now support near 1,554. Target resistance is now seen near the January highs at 1,611.

The price of gold is up nearly $100 since Christmas, reaching around $1,575 per troy ounce as I write this letter.
This most recent price bump is due to the panic over Iran. But the gold price is up nearly 20% over the last year, so there have obviously been plenty of other factors driving the price higher before the Middle East started flaring up again.
And there will be plenty more after these tensions cool down.
.Why Is Silver A Better Choice Over Gold?
.Why Is Silver A Better Choice Over Gold?
By Muhammad Ali
I have always favoured Silver over Gold, I have my reasons for making this choice but what are others saying as well?
So I took this question to my friend The Dinarian. He has a YouTube Channel related to Dinar news and he is very bullish when it comes to Silver.
I wanted to see if what his choices are on silver matches mine. I contacted him with some questions and here's what he had to say.
Hey The Dinarian, I know you are in favour of Silver over Gold and I wanted to get your opinions and compare notes. Can you please answer my questions to give my readers another opinion on the matter?
Russia Could Invest Part of Its National Wealth Fund In Gold
.Petrodollar Shock: Russia Could Invest Part of Its National Wealth Fund In Gold
By Tyler Durden Mon, 12/30/2019
In the past two years Russia has been quite explicit in its shifting preference between fiat, in the form of the world's reserve currency, US Dollars and hard assets, i.e., gold: after liquidating almost all of its Treasury holdings in mid 2018, roughly around the time relations between the US and Russia hit rock bottom and started digging, Russian gold holdings continued to climb and just a few months back rose to a record, more than doubling in the past 4 years.
It now appears that the recent gold-buying spree wasn't enough, because according to Russia's Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, Russia is now also considering investing part of its National Wealth Fund in gold, adding that it is Russia's view that investment in the precious metal as more sustainable in the long-term than in financial assets.
“Gold Market Fraudulent, Already in Deep Default"
.“Gold Market Fraudulent, Already in Deep Default, Cannot Deliver 5,900 Tons”
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
“Financial writer and precious metals expert Bill Holter says big delivery demands are flashing a warning sign that something is very wrong in the gold market. Holter explains, “What’s happened so far this year, there have been roughly 5,900 tons of gold sent to London under ‘exchange for physical.’
The world only produces 2,700 tons a year. There is only one official hoard in the world that is more than that, and that is 8,300 tons in the U.S. Treasury. It has not been audited since 1956.
What I am telling you is over 200% of annual production has been sent to London for delivery, and it is an impossibility to deliver. The metal doesn’t exist. Once it gets to London, it is totally shrouded. We see nothing in terms of proof or verification that delivery is being made. It’s being sent to London to die.”

For more than a year, I’ve been strongly encouraging readers to consider buying gold.
In fact, almost exactly one year ago to the day, I wrote that gold was cheap relative to just about every other asset class in the world.
Since then, gold has been one of the best performing investments in the world.
Over the last 12 months, the price of gold is up 21.1%, handily outperforming everything from the S&P 500 index in the US to stock markets in China, Europe, and Canada, plus bonds, real estate, and even major commodities like oil.
Gold has even outpaced the stock prices of many of the world’s most popular tech investments like Netflix, Tesla, Amazon, etc.
(One of the more interesting exceptions has been Bitcoin, which has more than doubled in value over the last 12 months. We’ll talk about that another time.)

Why Gold And Silver Have Plenty Of Room To Rise
I thought in this age of insanity that we are living in, nothing would surprise me anymore. But sure enough, there was a headline in the Financial Times the other day, “Central banks should consider giving people money.”
It seems almost impossible that someone could believe in something so ridiculous. And yet this is the world we are living in. The path to prosperity is now based on unelected central bankers conjuring millions of dollars out of thin air.
My Thoughts on Gold and Silver.
My Thoughts on Gold and Silver.
By Muhammad Ali
I have had several people contact me about my opinion on what will happen to Gold and Silver. So this article, in a way, is a follow up to my previous one, titled "Precious Metals - My Plan B".
First, let me just give you some of my background so you know that I have a bit of experience on this. I've started trading Forex, since 2000, while I was living in Canada. My first Forex course was Steven Nisson's candlestick training on VHS. I still have it and autograph books of his.
I spent a small fortune on training courses and books and from live trading experiences. I continued trading when I shifted to Malaysia in 2004 and around 2009 I opened my own Forex Company here, taught courses on Forex and trading for people as well as providing online signal services.
I have had my own traders and I did all the management for the company. I had a 15,000 square foot office in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. I had clients subscribing to my signal services from over 100 countries. I had professional services charging $500 US per month for signal services.
I've truly gone thru a lot in Forex, experimented with hundreds of robot software, known as E.A. (Expert Advisors) and trading systems and indicators. Then I just had enough of it all and stopped, but God had his own plan and brought be back to Forex via the Dinar, so now I just deal with the physical currency, less stressful.
Precious Metals - My Plan B
.Precious Metals - My Plan B
By Muhammad Ali
You may have heard me refer to precious metals as my Plan B, in several of my articles. If you haven't read any of my articles you can read them on my website, unless of course, you're on my website right now reading this article, therefore, just ignore everything I just said. ;)
OK back to the subject, precious metals and why do I consider them as my Plan B. The reason for this article clarification came about because someone emailed me, asking why do I consider precious metals as my Plan B.
Before we get into that, let me just clarify something else, what do I refer to as precious metals? Gold and Silver are the obvious, but I would also add in there stones and other metals as well. For stones, one may debate the risks involved as the purchase and re-sale values may be far apart, especially in the case of diamonds. Well for general purposes we'll just stick to gold and silver.
We can all agree that a Plan B is a back up plan, there's no question about that.

In 663 BC, King Ashurbanipal of the Assyrian Empire invaded Egypt and sacked the city of Waset (located in modern day Luxor on the Nile River).
Ashurbanipal vanquished the city, purportedly seizing more than 75 metric tons of silver for his personal collection.
At the time in the ancient world, the prevailing ratio between gold and silver was 1:2. In other words, 75 metric tons (= 75,000 kilograms) of silver was worth 37,500 kilograms of gold, equal to $1.76 billion in today’s money.
That 1:2 gold/silver ratio had held for thousands of years across Persia, Mesopotamia, and Ancient Egypt, possibly since as early as 3,000 BC.
But over time it has changed periodically.
