Doug Casey's Take [ep.

How to take advantage of the "Last Gold Bull Market":
www.crisisInvesting.com
Doug Casey and Matt Smith discussed various topics, including the French Revolution, gold coins, property rights, and migration. They believe a gold bull market has started, and gold stocks are undervalued. Uruguay and Argentina have good property rights, but the government is the greatest threat to property everywhere. Massive migration into the U.S. will cause major problems.

"listen, around here we're Anarcho Capitalists - we don't believe in the state!" Heck yeah, best thing I'll probably hear today. Good way to start.

[@Alwayslearning426]

Anytime we hear Doug start a comment with the word Listen, you know it's going to be good! I am so amazed to be alive at this moment in time. Interesting how people all around the world are trying to figure out trade, currency, psychology, migrations to or from said place and how all of these observations tangible or otherwise form our world. Thank you Matt and Doug for your insights. Great Take as always. 😜

Costa Rica is a transit point for the migration north, literally a big secure bus stop where you cannot leave. Michael Yon was a Green Beret, one of the youngest ever and has been following mass migrations and their causes for years now, he's dialed in.

Hey, when you can't trust the money, the government that issues it is sure to fall and all of its appendant institutions will also be be discredited.

[@thebookpeddler]

If you see this, try the book, "Fire in the Minds of Men" by James Billington. It's essentially a history of revolutions, French, Russian etc. the social/cultural and occultic movements behind them. He was the head of the library of congress for I want to say 20 years, taught history at Harvard and Princeton, he has a lot of credentials and although the focus of the book isn't strictly on just the french revolution, the underlining ideologies and influences follow throughout the revolutions of 17th and 20th centuries. A highly recommended book by many who have interest in these fields of study.

[@bassaxist]

So when they say Argentina taxes world wide income, that's only when you're living in the country then? That always confused me, so just to be clear Argentina is not going to ask you to report your earnings in opt her countries if you are living outside of Argentina right Doug? Last thing I would want is to become a citizen there and then they ask me to report my earnings if I'm living somewhere else and if I don't then they get me when I come back into the country, because just because they won't go chase you everywhere like the US will, it doesn't mean they wont grab you if you come back in.

[@Speer788]

Argentina like most countries in the world, taxes you on worldwide income ONLY if you're a resident and spend most of your time in the country. Only USA and Eritrea has citizenship-based taxation while Argentina has residence-based taxation.

Dang guys! Quit talking about Thailand. That's my neck of the woods. I don't want any farang there. I've even discouraged my brothers from visiting. "Bum guns", right now it's "hotter than Haides", and stay away from that "street food" (which is both delicious, and all I eat), and remember to Wai everybody, and whatever you do, be the most outstanding ambassador from the United States. (Keep in mind fellas, that the farangs mostly are Russian folks right now, well behaved, so don't seek a beating that you will regret. These Russian fellows are quite fit, well fed, and look like we used to in the 80's). The Russians I have interacted with are quite pleasant and respectful. Ordinary guys traveling with family, no different than us. Stay home if you've got a bad attitude. Be mindful of the monarchy, show respect at all times. It's serious business to the Thai. Bring shit loads of dough, you can have some fun with the bar girls. Spend like drunken sailors.

Haven't met any Kiwi's there though, but then again, I'm not seeking anybody, these are folks who stick a hand out to me, as I look different from everyone else. Come to think of it, I haven't met a bad farang yet. I just like to keep things from getting "spoiled". I just hear stories about the "bad guys", all of those stories come from the U-tubes. I've decided if things get "bad", I'm going to Laos, or Vietnam.

Yes, my same brilliant historian friend said the same: the collapse of the French Treasury was the final trigger for the French Revolution. Sounds familiar.

[@DominelliGuitars]

You can verify your coins for yourself. You need a micrometer that measures accurately in thousandths or mm. You need a sensitive scale. Cooking scales are a bit crude, but jewelers scales are best, as they measure finer increments. And get yourself a small rare earth magnet. Check the weight and measurements of your coins. Kitco metals is a good site to get the specs for common coin types, silver or gold. A rare earth magnet will not stick to a gold or silver coin, but if you place the coin on its edge, at a 45 degree slope, and let the magnet slide down the surface, it will drag a bit. It will not slide quickly, like it will against something like wood or paper. If it sticks, you've obviously got a dud, but you would have discovered that with the weight and measurement tests, which test for density. There are tungsten filled Canadian maple leafs made in China. But tungsten, although the same density as gold, will fail the magnet test. Buyer beware - there are no victims, only volunteers....

I always ask for the heaviest woman on staff. I feel like I've been flattened into the road bed when finished. I don't have to worry about thinking of sex with a 175 pound Thai wrestler. She usually adds a 1/2" to my height and 1/2" to my knuckle drag. The cross body tug, makes me a 1/2" wider. I'm relaxed for at least two days. This is done at a medical facility where you have to take HR & BP readings before disrobe. I travel with two women, both Thai, and it's fun when I go. I'm the only guy there, and at the end of the session, the Thai staff line up for Bear Hugs. Funniest shit I've ever participated in. I love the Thai's. Hugging isn't Thai, but evidently, they think I'm some sort of movie star. I'm not going to disappoint them. Everybody wants a photo.

North Korea, China and Russia all are Republics (authoritarian ruling classes). Exactly. How is ours any different? Perhaps a few of the rights in the Bill of Rights are unique but if they aren't followed due to out constant "state of Emergency" that we've almost always been under, what difference does any of it ever make (Also they supposedly have constitutions and Biills of Rights of the people just like we do). Also if people want an explanation of why things keep getting worse and worse, look up Senate Report 93549. It explains how politicians behave when ever any sort of "war" is declared by a president. This includes a "war on drugs" or a "war on terror".

I think the Darian gap is a myth. The land was likely intentionally undeveloped. Maybe it was under the influence from the US. Why wouldn't two countries want to open up a road of trade between them? I don't believe that a swamp is impossible to build a road in. I live in Michigan. Much of Michigan was a swamp at one time and it was one of the most malaria riddled placees on earth. The environment is not the reason. Both countries have proven to be capable road builders too. That leaves intension.
