These days, Mother's Day is all about greeting cards and flowers — but the history is more complex than you might know.
The Origin of Mother’s Day: 5 Surprising Facts About the Holiday
For many people, Mother’s Day is simply a joyous occasion each May, a time to spend with our children and our mothers — marked by flowers, cards, and maybe some mimosas over brunch. So you might be surprised to learn that its cheerful greeting card messages belie a much darker, more complicated origin story. In fact, Mother’s Day traces its roots back to wartime traumas, and includes plenty of controversy.
Here are five surprising facts you may not have known about Mother’s Day and its complex origins.
Thoughts From DJ 5-4-2020 "The Petro Dollar"
.DJ: DID YOU KNOW?
After the collapse of the Bretton Woods gold standard in the early 1970s, the United States struck a deal with Saudi Arabia to standardize oil prices in dollar terms.
Through this deal, the petrodollar system was born, along with a shift away from pegged exchanged rates and gold-backed currencies to non-backed, floating rate regimes (Fiat).
The effect of steering to the petrodollar is what maintained the USD as the global currency reserve.
By "agreeing" to have its currency used as a reserve currency, a country can pin its hands behind its back. To keep the global economy chugging along, it may have to inject large amounts of currency into circulation, driving up inflation at home.

So here we are, in week 341 of this global stay-at-home shutdown thing, and if you're anything like me, you're pretty much losing your mind.
Or what's left of your mind, anyway.
I know I sure am.
All of this mandatory do-nothingness is really taking a toll on... on... on my do somethingness.
That's not to say I'd be doing anything different this weekend than I'm already doing.
But it sure would be nice to do nothing because I wanted to.
Not because someone somewhere says I have to

Finally.
And by finally, I mean... well, FINALLY!
Finally, after all these years, I've finally seen something with my own eyes that I consider to be a huge piece of the GCR puzzle actually become a part of the public awareness.
Something they can't simply make disappear as they do with everything else that doesn't serve their best interests.
I'm referring, of course, to last Monday's shocking collapse of the oil futures market.
That had to be a tough one for anybody to miss.

"The Gold Standard vs. Gold-Backed" by Ron Giles - 4.14.20

It is rumored by well-meaning individuals that the USD is now on the Gold Standard. What does that mean? If the US does go on the Gold Standard does that give “value” to the US dollar? There are those who would say yes. I ask, how so?
The term “Gold Standard” does mean something but the definition of, Gold Standard is not readily available to help us understand what it means and how it adds value to the currency. I’d like to know HOW it does add value if indeed, it does add value to the currency.
My mistrust of the Gold Standard exists because I have found out that when we were on the Gold Standard, the gold in Ft. Knox was no longer there. Then we were taken off the gold standard and all of sudden, the supposed gold in Fort Knox is no longer needed to back our USD. Imagine that!
If that is so then can someone tell me how any newly recovered gold put into a secure vault somewhere can be used to say, we are now back on the Gold Standard?

Back in the olden days we had a lot of moxie. Wed put on our best bib and tucker just to straighten up and fly right.
Hubba-hubba! Wed cut a rug in some juke joint and then go necking and petting and smooching and spooning and billing and cooing and pitching woo in hot rods and jalopies in some passion pit or lovers lane.
Heavens to Betsy! Gee whillikers! Jumpin Jehoshaphat! Holy moley! We were in like Flynn and living the life of Riley, and even a regular guy couldnt accuse us of being a knucklehead, a nincompoop or a pill. Not for all the tea in China !

Well, they did say it would get crazy at the end.
And if you don't think things are getting crazy, then you're living in an entirely different reality than I am.
Although I will admit it's been crazy for quite some time now.
Like about the last 10 years or so.
At least that's the way it seems anyway.
And we were always hoping it was the end but alas, it wasn't.

Why NOT Now!?! by Dr. Dinar
I woke up this morning pretty much like every other morning over the past decade, relatively secure in the knowing that I would still be broke.
Yet, at the same time, hoping that I somehow missed the notification of some sort and that my pre-planned schedule for the day would require an alteration of sorts.
A last minute redirect sending me down the Yellow Brick Road to an undisclosed Exchange Center located within 80 miles of my home.
Or perhaps a "Heads Up" of some sort, notifying me of the possibility of a complete change of plans occurring over the next few days.

Good morning!
Well, it is morning.(somewhere)
And it's great to be alive.
Unfortunately, like many of you, my Bank account is still runnin' on empty.
Which isn't so great.
Not that I'm surprised.
Sure, all week long we've been hearing that this is our week.
Actually since last week we've been hearing that THIS will be our week.
What am I thinking.
