I bought a decent amount of gold securities on Monday, based on the idea that it's overdue for a gain, and will never "fail" compared the to cheap dollars it replaces, for me. It's a default position that I am comfortable with.
It's just that nobody can create it out of thin air like cash, Bitcoin or similar commodities. Materials and energy, on a war footing, kept me at -3% when S&P went down like 12-14% last month.
you know we can't eat gold but we can buy something with it someday, if someone doesn't decide it belongs to the Gov or a crime boss.
Barter items right now look like food for one. I have a slew of canned tomato's from last summer and my chickens are old and tired of laying eggs so I predict I can barter for some eggs and maybe some farm fresh smoked sausage.
A Tomato growing secret is to use lots of chicken poop in the garden before you plant. I literally grew cantaloupe sized beef masters last year. The wire racks we use all fell over from the wt and I had to get stakes and posts to help put them in place long enough for them to get ripe. My other varieties like cherry tom toms loved it too.

Wow, we are the new Russians.
I wonder if the Democrats will start blaming Americans for all their woes now?
Further complicating matters, the United States does not recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan, raising the question of whether funds belonging to the Afghan central bank are really the Taliban’s and so can be used to pay off the Taliban’s judgment debts.
But the Biden administration has come under domestic political pressure to tell the court that it thinks the bank’s money is sufficiently linked to the Taliban now that they control that country and its institutions, making the funds seizable.

Realizing that our citizens need to be given the necessary time to get vaccinated and draw up the necessary documents, for those who do not have them, the bill establishes a transitional period. The full use of certificates would enter into force on February 1, 2022,” Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said on Friday.
Russian lawmakers have ordered a study on assisted human reproduction, including a cutting-edge and controversial gene-editing technology that would create a “new type of society.”
New gene-editing tools such as CRISPR/Cas9 have made it possible to rearrange the genetic code much more precisely and at lower costs than before. A Chinese scientist caused outrage last year with a claim to have “gene-edited” babies, while a Russian biologist has this year declared plans to modify the genomes of human embryos and implant them in women.
World Health Organization experts said this year that a central registry of all human genome-editing research was needed “in order to create an open and transparent database of ongoing work.”
This spring, Russia launched a 111 billion ruble (US$1.6 billion) federal program to create 10 new varieties of gene-edited crops and animals by 2020 — and an additional 20 by 2027.
“The project is far-reaching, scientific, fundamental,” Alexander Sergeyev, the chief of Russia’s Academy of Sciences, told Russian news agency TASS (English translation here). “Its essence is to find such genetic predispositions among military personnel, which will allow them to be properly oriented according to military specialties.”
Russia is now set to implement a nationwide QR code system to be used for nearly all aspects of “normal life.” Assuming the legislation passes the State Duma, these society-transforming restrictions—which will deprive the unvaccinated of freedom of movement and commerce, essentially making them second-class citizens—will come into force in February.
As for “COVID-triggered” economic restructuring: the Russian government has openly embraced the World Economic Forum’s Fourth Industrial Revolution. In October, the Russian government and the WEF signed a memorandum on the establishment of a Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Russia. Russia has already adopted a law allowing for “experimental legal regimes” to allow corporations and institutions to deploy AI and robots into the economy, without being encumbered by regulatory red tape.Returning to Gref and his digital Sbercoin: Russia’s central bank is already planning to test-run a digital ruble that, among other nifty features, could be used to restrict purchases.
Many are probably aware of UN Agenda 2030. Well, there is a Moscow 2030 plan, and it’s quite extraordinary. The blueprint for Russia’s capital calls for “genetic passports” that can be used to administer “gene therapies.” A document envisioning life in Moscow by the end of the decade also talks about “implanted medical digital devices” that can be used by insurance companies to calculate health insurance payments. It seems these ambitions won’t be limited to Moscow. In the last half of 2019, Russia’s State Duma commissioned a report to investigate the “conflict-free development” of a “new generation of technologies” (such as “genome editing”) in order to create a “new type of society.”

Better to just stock up on gasoline, beer and clean potable water that can be discreetly buried until it's essential, because one day it will be worth more than gold. Not sure about the beer but I have a hunch it will be a treasured commodity in a hypothetical dystopian society who doesn't know how to make quality booze.
The US intelligence services have issued the most urgent warning to the NATO allies of an imminent Russian attack on Ukraine . According to SPIEGEL information, both the US secret service CIA and the US military informed the federal government and other NATO states over the course of Friday that, based on new information, there were fears that the attack could take place as early as next Wednesday.
