Re <<"War is when your Government tells you who the enemy is, Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.">> ... good one, sounds like Ben

Re <<But, reality is what it is... and I judge it better to be inured of it and prepared, rather than surprised when you learn that everything you believe is a lie ?>> ... I am more concerned that all that I suspect will turn out to be true.

2022 / 2024 in USA matters much, I believe, I am just uncertain as to how it all matters, and running out of figuring time for 2022, the prequel to 2024

W/r to gold, I appreciate the logic that states <<The metals were early to the party and are now taking a breather while all the other commodities catch up.>>

For it might still be the case that 'gold knows all, all the time, no matter the smoke and mist, and the miasma of FUD'

... and no, I do not believe bitcoin is better than gold. Different, yes, better, no, not when push comes to shove, and after the shove.

But yes, there are certain choreographies that can see bitcoin to its BitGold thing, but once BitGold becomes dominant 'asset class', I shudder to ponder what happened to everything else that is not BitGold.
In the meantime, the 'decay at the edges' per Asimov's Foundation is continuing to happen, but in accelerated way, at the core, according to suspect Epoch Times

and border buffer certainly under attack, but unclear how serious now or might get, for zerohedge as suspect as CNN, but likely more democratic except when occasionally hijacked and weaponised.

Arguably Mexico has been failing for awhile, and accelerating per derivative and second derivative of trajectory.

We are watch drama enveloping, big time.

Hong Kong‘s land border with the mainland will reopen fully to quarantine-free travel by June at the latest, official sources told the South China Morning Postthis week.

The scheme will entail a small pilot programme involving daily quotas in Guangdong province in December, followed by an expansion in February to allow “mass events”, a source said, reaffirming what Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor had suggested last week. A full border reopening will happen in June, or earlier, if all goes smoothly.
