Wait. The Jerry Springer fights were fake?

Probably back when feminist Matriarchies ruled the earth. Of course, they didn't have any of that eeevil capitalism & money anyway, as their economy was based on rainbows and unicorn farts.

To be fair, the article stated that a non-government currency will always be subverted or taken over by the government. It's too much of a threat to revenue.

Of course, barter was a tiny part of economic activity before capitalism. Anything other than food you grew yourself was a tiny part of economic activity before capitalism.

In this instance Anthony only offered the crown to Caesar once.

Must be due to Twitter induced ADD.

Do we at least get to have the arirang? Because if I have to have phony "demonstrations" meant to further ennoble our Dear Leader, I want 'em BIG.

NSA? CIA? FBI? KGB? MI-5? After awhile, it is all alphabet soup:

Regarding the translation - especially of this "There is something in these typewriters is charismatic".

Does Marko know about the dual purpose of the pocket rocket?

stay safe.

The article links to a manipulated chart of "gold prices for the last 100 years" to show that gold is "volatile".

A 1913 gold coin from the crappiest, most corrupt, or utterly forgotten government- Bolivia, or Romanov Russia, or the Kingdom of the Hellenes- has held ts purchasing power better than the paper promises of every government on earth.

That article is both profoundly ignorant AND stupid beyond belief.

The so-called 'heckler' was obviously, blatantly a plant. Zero would never in a million years allow any dissent at one of his rally's, let alone in his hand-picked, percentage-perfect backdrop of racially, gender and age diverse prop audience. If you look at the video, 0bama doesn't miss a beat on the Teleprompter OR look flustered as he often does when off his planned remarks. Plus, he was BEHIND the President! The Secret Service has to know who is there and how they will act, so I find it stunning that an Illegal Alien ended up there at all.

Hey, the planted heckler was a better bit of entertainment than the planted questions from reporters at live pressers.

As to money, I think I'll take raw gold nuggets, used catalytic converters off mid-80s vehicles, or a barrel of crude oil over that pile of peso coins or the lira note I have left over from my travels.

The planted heckler's heckle was something on the order of "please do what you intend to do." In my field we call those "softball questions". The same kind as the planted questions asked by the reporters who without the planted questions sit there with the same slackjawed passivity as the squad during the ladies' garden club lecture in the Manchurian Candidate (the real one from 1962, not the Communist Wet Dream from 2004).
