Re <<life now>>

Filtering-out the emotive essence of politics and geopolitics of the moment for now, realizing that just about all being weaponised and tee-ed up, taking sense of the Force, I reckon all now accelerated and enhanced relative to before

And going forward Sir Marty might be right again, irrespective of specific minutia

Gold & The April Close



While gold's rally to may was impressive, when you step back and look we see a wild swing from a one-month drop into March and then a swing to a high in April which closed at 1694.20below the March high of 1704.30. A true breakout should have closed at least above the previous month's high. We still see May as a critical turning point and then expect to see volatility start to rise in June as we head into the July target where we have even a Panic Cycle.

By no means is this over. So many Democratic states will not give up on trying to hurt the people as much as they can in their strategy that this will lead to them throwing out Trump and winning the Senate so they can raise taxes to their version of the American Political Dream - 70%. For example, Massachusetts is imposing a $300 fine if you dare go outside without a mask. Fauci said everyone should wear a mask so that's good enough to raise revenue. One 2013 study looked at how masks could help people with the seasonal flu limit spreading it when they exhale small dropletscontaining the virus. Overall, researchers found masks led to a more than threefold reduction in how much virus people sprayed into the air. That was based on where you see in Asia people who are sick wear masks so as not to spread the flu. There was never a practice where everyone wore masks even when not sick.

Local municipalities are devastated by the lockdown. They pretty much will all need to raise taxes sharply. Police, who supplement the budgets with traffic tickets, have been mostly out of business as revenue tax collectors are concerned. There has been a sharp rise in Domestic Violence because people just cannot be locked down and their jobs terminated. They have no hope and expenses keep going. Many studies show that from across North America, the three leading causes of divorce are "basic incompatibility" (43%), "infidelity" (28%), and "money issues" (22%). You inflict financial stress destroying people's hope, and that will materialize as domestic violence even in a couple that may not have experienced that in the past. Add to that, the rise also in child abuse.



The seriousness of the psychological damage which has already been inflicted upon the population by the unprecedented lockdown is tearing the very fabric of society apart. This will contribute to the sharp rise in civil unrest on the horizon particular going into the September-October time people. The politicians are doing this DELIBERATELY to simply win the 2020 election. This is an all-out political-coup by the left. There is no way this is coming to an end with a nice bounce. It is not over until the politicians are forced to sing.
