from Global Times:
China consumed 554.88 tons of gold in the first half of 2023, up 16.37 percent year-on-year, data from the China Gold Association (CGA) showed on Tuesday, as Chinese citizen’s income continues to rise steadily.
The “gold rush” is partly fueled by the investors’ growing risk-aversion in buying equities and bonds, over concerns about volatile global financial environment, which is exacerbated by the US bank financial crisis and the US debt ceiling issue.

Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has issued a warning to the public about the global plans to abolish physical cash to create “cashless societies.”
In an interview with The New York Post, RFK Jr., the nephew of President John F. Kennedy, took a deep dive into the topic of currency and the coming “digital cash” era.
As Slay News previously reported, Democrat President Joe Biden has ordered the Federal Reserve to implement a CBDC that will replace traditional money as a “digital dollar.”

I have seen a number of recent stories that have led me to the conclusion that at least half of Americans have been so brainwashed and programmed into “woke” ideology, that they quite literally cannot tell fact from fiction.
For example, we hear so much about how “disinformation” should not be considered “free speech,” and free speech is a “thorny” issue from the very people that tells us men can be women (disinformation), have periods and babies (disinformation), are not physically stronger than women so should be allowed in women’s sports (disinformation), and that there are more than two genders (disinformation).

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”- This is our first amendment right which was signed in 1791. According to a recent poll, it is said that 55% of Americans believe that the government should have a say in restricting false information online and then 65% of Americans believe that Tech companies should remove content on what they believe is misinformation. I am not sure why anyone would think that this is a good idea. If our sources of information are regulated (which most of it is), and everything is being portrayed how the government wants us to see it- we are provoking the constitution ourselves.

Actors Join the Writers Guild of America Strike
Bloomberg reports Writers and Actors Strike Together
Actors joined the Writers Guild of America in a strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers, which represents studios including Netflix Inc. and Walt Disney Co., marking the first time in more than 60 years that Hollywood writers and actors struck together.

I have to say that this website’s article contributors are some of the sharpest people on the planet, so much so that occasionally they send along articles with their own cursory analyses which I find to be so compelling that I simply put a bit of spit and polish on them, and write the blog. Such is the case today with this article and “scenario analysis” by an individual who prefers to remain so anonymous that he (ahhh…. the benefits of the traditional masculine pars pro toto usage of the English language!) doesn’t even want his initials used as a means of thanking him for the article and observations!
by Jim Hoft, The Gateway Pundit:
The current strike in Hollywood by writers and actors has brought the entertainment industry to a screeching halt for the first time in years.
One former studio head has already said that if this strike goes on too long, it could cause Hollywood to collapse.
The people who are doing the striking are, for the most part, on the far left, politically speaking, and are now comparing their strike to the French Revolution.
Do any of these people know how that chapter of history ended?
by Allum Bokhari, Breitbart:
A team of scientists has won a $600,000 grant from the government of Australia to continue their work merging human brain cells with artificial intelligence.
The team has already enjoyed success, making headlines last year for “teaching” a cluster of brain cells in a Petri dish to play the video game Pong.
