Goldsnow, The events occuring in Canada remind me of similar events in Canada yesterday, e.g. worthless domestic currency. Uncompensated expropriation of private property to benefit private real estate developers in Toronto. Expropriation of everybody's capital to subsidize hugely profitable companies in Quebec to appease Francophones. Federal debt cancellation by talking the Loony currency's purchasing power ever lower. Confiscation of the "wealthy" peoples capital through confiscatory taxation to subsidize unions to repay their voting support. Only this Gulag is the abusive, restrictive controls on foreign investment content of one's retirement funds. Wouldn't want the folks voting with their money. Wacky, absolutely wacky. RH

Germany in '31 had Hindenburg as a beloved figurehead who could do nothing, Russia has Yeltsin. All we need is for people to have to use wheelbarrows to carry the rubles necessary to buy a loaf of bread to complete the picture. Germany in '31 was laboring under war reparations...Russia is laboring under Western debt. Germany in '31 didn't have nukes...Russia does. That makes the equation a lot different. No amount of gold is going to help us. Rick
