A few years ago, somebody was talking about the FOFOA blog on Zerohedge. I searched it, found it, and I could not stop reading it. It's not an easy read. Bring your A game comprehension skills with you. This is a site that has been up for only 5 years. It is nearly impossible to get 5.5 million hits on anything unless it's porn. This is not porn. This is some of the most intelligent, introspective and revealing commentary I have ever found on the importance and vast mystery of gold. That's what makes it even more amazing. His blogs can be enormous. He does not talk about silver or platinum - he does however embed a music vid here and there. So the 5. 5 million hits at this place are people who are.....get this....READING! Engaged, intelligent readers asking articulate questions. Not so oddly, the writer will not reveal himself. I find this lack of qualifying credentials and therefore pre judgments- refreshingly unnecessary. Prima facie writing. Rarely will you see a

Late last night I stumbled onto a chart because I was trying to solve a mystery. Many of the people I am talking to online are evidently clueless about the FED and QE, our government, (spying and what constitutes treason) politics, and current events. They are apathetic. They just don't care. A lot of their ideas- that we live in a democracy with free markets are completely half baked. Then it hit me. Maybe the people I am talking to are half baked. So I went hunting. Our country has a spiritual problem. They think that the solution for money problems, health problems, relationship problems, family problems, or just boredom- is alcohol and drugs. People want to change the way they feel. That is addiction. And when people are using whatever drugs they use- they aren't present and they sure as hell aren't learning anything they will remember the following day. Not only do I think drug and alcohol addiction in the US is at epidemic levels- I also happen to believe we have

Thankfully, I don't have to kiss anyone's backside. I calls 'em like I sees 'em. This morning I was catching up on things when I saw a news feed of AOL's CEO, Tim Armstrong. Armstrong was on a conference call talking with 1000 employees about "Patch", a troubled news subsidiary of AOL's. During the conference call, Armstrong fires one of his employees in front of all of the other employees listening in on the call.  http://www.inquisitr.com/899911/aol-employee-fired-on-conference-call-apparently-for-doing-his-job-audio/ To say that Armstrong's actions violate every principle of good management is an understatement. The truth is, I detest people like Armstrong. They exercise terrible judgment and get away with it- only because they can. They intimidate people. What could have Armstrong done differently? Oh, like maybe kept his mouth shut. Talked to the employee like a civil human being after the conference call and most importantly, privatel
