In this week's Off the Cuff podcast, Chris and Alasdair Macleod discuss:

  • The Swiss gold referendum and the extraordinary lengths to which the Swiss National Bank is going to prevent its passage.
  • The World Gold Council's bizarre under-reporting of Chinese gold demand
  • Fuzzy numbers:  GDP is both distorted and not representative of actual economic progress
  • Russia moving toward putting the ruble under a gold standard?
  • Provoking Russia.  The aims of the west are not clear, probably because there's no real strategy in place.

There are very big movements happening in the world of physical gold, with the dutch somehow getting their 120+ tonnes of gold back from the US Federal Reserve over just three months while Germany continues to insist 5 tonnes over an entire year was reasonable.  A major political figure in France has written a letter to the French central bank demanding that all French gold be repatriated while Russia's central bank continues to accumulate gold in preference for dollars.

Yet the price for physical gold remains stuck in a tight band between $1190 and $1200.  

But what if Russia is moving towards a gold standard?  This would make sense for them on a lot of levels and would be a true game changer for a world that currently revolves around the petrodollar.  Alasdair and Chris discuss the hows and the whys.

Why Gold Is Undervalued
by Alasdair Macleod

Gold has been in a bear market for three years. Technical analysts are asking themselves whether they should call an end to this slump on the basis of the “triple-bottom” recently made at $1180/oz, or if they should be wary of a coming downside break beneath that level. The purpose of this article is to look at the drivers of the gold price and explain why today’s market value is badly reflective of gold’s true worth.

Ukraine: A Perspective from Europe
by Alasdair Macleod

It is still a mystery to many historians as to how and why this World War I led to the slaughter of nine million people. But analysis of different parties to the original event, pursuing their own vested interests without a grasp of the bigger picture, certainly rings true of the Ukrainian situation today with regards to the West, embodied in a disparate committee called NATO. The similarity with the chaotic diplomacy that led to WW1 stops there: Russia under Vladimir Putin’s leadership appears to have a good grasp of its objective.

Every once in a while, an Off the Cuff interview is so important that we decide to make it available to the entire public. This is one of those occasions.

In this week's Off the Cuff podcast, Chris and Alasdair Macleod build on the insights laid out in Chris' recent mega-report last week on gold: The Screaming Fundamentals for Owning Gold. And specifically, they delve deeply into the poorly-understood topic of why Chinese demand has become such a game changer in recent years.

 Fauci's Private Diary Exposes Stark Contradictions on Lab Leak, Lethality, Lockdowns & Vaccines
Once again I am so grateful and appreciative to Chris (@cmartenson) for sorting through this horrendous Covid deception early on.
This allowed me to avoid the shot myself, self treat with ivermectin, zinc, vitamin-D and quercetin, stop wearing a mask when faced with a COVID positive patient, as well as making post on my facebook ER doctors groups that...
