Well I am so sorry to hear that you are in despair but of course I often feel that way myself. You see, after viewing all the administrations from Reagan on through Clinton, the Bushes and now Obama, I do not believe that any honest person exists who can or will run for office. How does one vote for a Hillary or a Jeb Bush? I might vote for a Ron Paul though but I do not believe he will ever be actually running because he would not bow down and serve the crooks as Obama has certainly done. And especially since the US is never going to do anything significant at all about climate change and global warming and the drying up of all the fresh water, as well as death of all life in the oceans surrounding us, and the tremendous amount of nuclear radiation flowing out into the waters from Fukashima as well as the ongoing threat of nuclear disasters originating from worn plants on our own continent, I do not believe we have a chance in Hell of much of a life at all in the very near future. And also I do not see how acquiring gold is going to enable one to survive climate change and radiation either. Did Antal Fekete address any of these problems? Or did I miss it? What do you see as the best answers for these problems if you still believe in the honesty and viability of exceptional American democracy?

Yes K, the topic of gold and my preaching it's merits as a possible hedge against the financial system and it's corruptness that have been forced upon us  has nothing to do with the problems you mentioned. They are beyond my scope of understanding as to how to deal with them. The little I know about them and what I observe China alone doing in this area makes me a doomster.

I listened to a podcast last week on JHK's site"Yakking with Alice Friedman of Energy Skeptic.com." It led me to think we are doomed from the nuclear power situation alone. All the other problems insure our bleak future from what I can gather.

Sorry I cannot be more optimistic, I hate being so helpless and afraid. Gold and Finance are the only things I know a little about. As I have stated repeatedly in my postings it is my view we have been taken over by an Evil force of late that is much more powerful and destructive than our own tendencies in that regard. It is very apparent to me and I am horrified by it.

My gold contributions are only my small way of contributing to help with the financial mayhem I see directly ahead. Billions of people polluting and destroying, as well as having nuclear arms and the evil corruption that appears to me to have taken over our institutions and leaders is beyond anything I can  address, except to say it horrifies me. 

If it is any consolation I view Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning, and Eric Snowden, as faint glimmers of hope that there are some good people out here who are willing to take action to combat the Evil force. The apathy towards them by the populace and their status as criminals in our democracy, however, speaks to the problems we face.

   Tens of thousands of residents gather to march in downtown streets during an annual pro-democracy protest in Hong Kong. Hong Kong residents began marching through the streets of the former British colony to push for greater democracy in a rally fueled by anger over Beijing's recent warning that it holds the ultimate authority over the southern Chinese financial center. The protest comes days after nearly 800,000 residents voted in a mock referendum aimed at bolstering support for full democracy. Kin Cheung/AP
