Gold Goats 'n Guns Podcast

This week I sit down with the Editor-in-Chief of The Duran, Alexander Mercouris, to discuss how the latest twists in the Brexit saga are having far-ranging influences on not only American politics but most especially European politics. There is a fascinating parallel between the political fortunes of Boris Johnson in the U.K. and Donald Trump in the U.S. Both have the extraordinary opportunity to...

The Russian COVID-19 vaccine, Sputnik-V represents a threat to the plans of The Davos Crowd to effect a Great Reset on the world through economic and social destruction. The vilification and rejection of this vaccine should be all the proof you need to finally be convinced that most of the response to COVID-19 was a media-created psy-op to effect political change and concentrate power further in t...

We seem to be turning a corner on the Meaning Crisis which has been building for nearly 300 years. And it may have found its way into popular culture in the most unlikely of places, Doom Patrol. As Hollywood struggles with a new normal where they are marginalized in an economic depression, the emphasis on stories that move us rather than wow us is what they will have to do to survive. And that mea...

Now that the Democratic Convention is over and they have revealed their lack of policy proposals for the coming term it's clear that they know they cannot beat President Trump in a fair election. So, now the only path to victory for the Democrats is to invoke a 20th Amendment process after refusing to concede the election by inauguration day. This would bring about elevating Speaker Nancy Pelosi t...

President Trump just can't help himself. When you have an opponent as dumb as the folks at the DNC he has to take advantage of them. His pardoning suffragette icon Susan B. Anthony was a stroke of political genius and proves that he's very much committed to his re-election campaign. It also proves that he's his own best strategist and possibly the world's most accomplished troll. This week I go ov...

Donald Trump's four executive orders from the past weekend may be constitutionally questionable but they are unquestionably brilliant political theatre. Trump may have just won the election by turning the usual Democratic bogeyman of Social Security into a coup de grace for the ages. Social Security isn't just the most onerous and regressive of taxes on the working poor it is the most racist as we...

With the politicians in Seattle hell bent on removing President Trump from power they have now advanced legislation to do away with their self-evidently racist police department. This move is a mix of cynical political theatre and insipid over-reaction to what are real problems of unfairness in the current American system. But these are not people ready to accept responsibility for the freedom the...

Today's talk grew out of an interview I did earlier touching on the reasons why I thought Bayer bought agribusiness giant Monsanto. This led me to a man named Mischa Popoff who gives a sterling talk on how Bayer is building a wall around the future of not only its Roundup business but the whole of the food supply for the world. Show Notes: COVID-19 and Roundup: An Immuno-Comprised Marriage from He...

Investigative journalist and all-around outstanding human being Whitney Webb sits down for a chat this week about the deep ties Ghislaine Maxwell has to the recent events concerning Deutsche Bank. Whitney and I discuss the role William Barr may be playing (or not playing) in how these events unfold. We touch on the extent of the web the elite weave to keep us first distracted and second confused a...

Ghislaine Maxwell's arrest has created quite a stir and the question that should be foremost in people's minds is, "Who's got her and who is she protecting?" Maxwell, as Jeffrey Epstein's COO was the brains behind the operation. She's the one with the real information and if that information is now even partially under control of President Trump and his Attorney General WIlliam Barr as opposed to...

With the banning of Stephan Molyneaux by YouTube, a man with more than 1 million subscribers, we've reached the book burning stage of the U.S.'s Cultural Revolution and it's being televised in real time, no less. Gil Scott Heron was wrong. The problem is the real revolution we need won't be televised, it may not even happen until after we're plunged into a chaotic breakdown that was beautifully de...

The short-lived experiment that is/was the CHAZ in Seattle is just one of three avenues of attack against the Trump administration being pursued in the first Real U.S. Civil War. This is the Black Revolution, cut from the same mold as previous Orange, Violet, Green and Brown revolutions in Eurasia and North Africa. So while the CHAZ will end with a whimper it will also fail falling forward as newl...

The Civil War in the U.S. continues to heat up and events over the past week reinforce this idea to me. This week I cover both the formation and reinvention of the CHAZ -- Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone -- in Seattle as well as my own experiences with the Trump Flotilla here in Florida. There are two completely separate cultures who will continue to clash politically and socially and they will not b...

The fires may be out for now, but they have not been fully extinguished. The Culture War of the past ten years has quickly exploded into a Civil War. It doesn't matter that this explosion was amplified by agent provocateurs and cynical political operatives hoping to retain control over the power centers. This cultural inversion, in the words of Jonathan Pageau, that we have been going through thes...

With everything happening at a breakneck pace it seemed prudent to do another one this week and talk with radio personality and former police officer Garland Nixon about the state of things in the U.S. Garland and I discuss the underlying rage and discontent that has been brewing for months in the U.S. at the unfair and rotten system which has driven hundreds of thousands around the world into the...

Legendary trader and blogger Yra Harris drops by to discuss the changes coming to the European Union thanks to Angela Merkel's betrayal of the German people. Debt mutualization is on the table and the acquiescence of the German political class to the financial realities of Europe's mess will usher in, slowly and with a lot more pain for everyone, consolidation of power across Europe. Yra and I als...

Brexit is back in the news as we approach the deadline for extending the Transition Period between the U.K. being under the auspice of EU law. There is still no appetite within the EU to allow the U.K. to leave on terms which satisfy the Brexit referendum of 2016. If the U.K. caves and files for an extension by the end of June then the Brexit saga will last another two years. EU Chief Negotiator M...

This week I go off the beaten path a little bit to talk with the Project Lead for one of my favorite cryptocurrencies, Decred, Jake Yocom-Piatt. Jake is a very astute critic of not only the monetary system but the cryptocurrency development scene. Getting his insights into the future of bitcoin and cryptos in general as potential monies in a post-Central Bank dominated world I thought was necessar...

President Trump tweeted out #ObamaGate recently after the transcripts of the Impeachment interviews conducted by Adam Schiff went public. These confirmed that there was a massive operation to spy on him, his campaign and that no one in the Obama Administration was willing to testify to his guilt under oath. RussiaGate wasn't just a hoax, it was an elaborate false narrative to overturn an election,...

The lock downs are ending and the fear mongering is ramping up. The natives are getting restless and the powers that be are desperately trying to hold onto their useful idiots who think being afraid of a bad cold makes them the smartest people on the planet. This week we look at fear, the reasons for why they stoke it and why it's beyond time to be outraged about this and reject all forms of gover...

This week I sit down with journalist and radio host Patrick Heningsen of 21st Century Wire and the host of the weekly show Sunday Wire to discuss the civilizational effects of the COVID-19 lock down and why it has gone on far too long. Patrick brings a breath of needed fresh air into the debate of the efficacy of locking people in their homes while I try to bridge the gap to the economic and psych...

This week I sit down with David Stockman, former Director of the Office of Management and Budget under Ronald Reagan and the Publisher of Contra Corner to discuss the pure insanity of the lock down associated with COVID-19, which has now created the Coronapocalypse for our economy and that of nations around the world. David and I take a hard, practical look at the real numbers, inflated though the...

This week I sit down with an intrepid young man, Gabriel Scheare, who's working very hard on a project down in Chile called Fort Galt. It's like talking to an even-more committed younger version of myself, going off into the wilds of southern Chile to build a life as free from external interference as possible. If there is something that binds us all together it is the need for community and famil...

This week I sit down for another chat with one of my favorite analysts on all things geopolitical, Alexander Mercouris, editor-in-chief of The Duran. Alex and I explore his thesis of a new Cold War emerging between the U.S. and China, which now replaces that of the one between the U.S. and Russia. It's a dynamic situation that is accelerating quickly thanks to the disastrous effects of the COVID-1...

The longer this shut down of the world economy goes on the more the generational divide will manifest itself between the declining, didactic and condescending Baby Boomers and their hard-bitten kids from Gen X. The power grabs, the money printing, the push for global government is all part of the desperation of a failing Utopian fantasy which the Boomers cling to like moss to a cliff while society...
