The golden rule
So what is the golden rule?
It's simple; they pay themselves with Gold, they pay you with Silver.
Rome set the price of silver to gold at a ratio 12:1, and for 1800 years it stayed between 10:1 and 12:1, and this was largely based on the relative abundance of these metal.
Then, around 1545, the Spanish found the Cerro Rico (Rich Mountain) near the small Andean village of Potosi?, and they began to extract vast amounts of pure silver to mint coins with.
These were the silver peso, or "pieces of eight", because of the 8 sides of the coin, and these coins made there way through the worlds economies, and this increased the supply of silver, relative to the supply of gold. So what happened, is that traders now started to use silver, to buy gold, and this further diminished the supply of gold.
So around the late 1700's the US and the Spanish govts artificially regulated the price of gold and silver, so a 15:1 to 16:1 ratio was created, The Coinage Act of 1792, specifically to make more difficult to buy gold.
With the discovery of the Comstock Lode (El Dorado) mine in 1850's, the supply of silver again increased, and this put more pressure on the gold supply, so the Coinage Act of 1873 outlawed the conversion of silver into coins, to prevent silver being traded for gold. This devalued silver to the extent that over time, it caused the "great depression".
When President Roosevelt set the price of gold at $35 an ounce with the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, the gold-silver ratio began to climb to new, higher levels, peaking at 98:1 in 1939.
During the war, Roosevelt set up defacto govts of the occupied countries, and forged agreements with these "Official Governments in exile" to steal the gold reserves of all those nations kept in US vaults, and the ratio dropped back to 50:1.
The Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944 pegged foreign exchange rates to the price of gold. The ratio steadily declined through the following years, till it reached a peak of 125:1 just before COVID hit. This was not a coincidence.
Prime Noticers will now see that the value of house prices have also increased in that time frame, and those price movements closely mimic the exchange value of Silver.
Now the contract that the US military had with the US silver miners to buy the silver at $25 an ounce expired, and the price of silver, now longer being regulated by government, began to rise from US$28 in July 2024 to new highs seen today.
Now there are Three factors you need to consider for the future.
1: the historic value of silver was, for nearly 2000 years, 10:1 to 12:1
2: this only changed due to Government fuckery, to PREVENT the middleclass from buying Gold
3: the golden rule, where they pay themselves in Gold, but they pay you in Silver, was always to devalue your wealth, and to steal your resources.
