Thanks. There was a piece at ZH just now about something we've discussed--central banks "panic buying" gold.

I'm already somewhat dreading 2023! The neocons/globalists are being outplayed at every turn. However, they are too stupid and arrogant to change course, let alone compromise. As TL rightly says, this IS for all the marbles, and they will follow this through to the end. Let's hope someone, somewhere in the West can stop this madness.

Same here, I thought 2022 would be “the one”, but it appears that 2023 will be the one to watch out for.

One of my college professors used to remind us to “never underestimate someone inspired with enthusiasm for a cause that’s totally wrong” and I shudder to think where these fools are headed in the new year.

Yes, I think your professor was paraphrasing the words from Yeats' poem "The Second Coming", when Yeats remarked: "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity."

With respect to Ms. Lagarde saying old people are living too long and are a risk to the global economy, she doesn't look like a spring chicken herself. She is most definitely Soylent Green material.

She reminds me of a crocodile skin handbag.

Zuckerberg / Facebook rumor has it is doing big donations to kill ticktock.

This explains the sudden interest of politicians to ban ticktock.

I more or less assume that this is diversionary in nature--to portray China as an aggressor and divert informed citizens from the truth.

Mark - your take makes sense.

Focus on China’s actions with TikTok, to hide the same types of actions by the US with Twitter, FB, YouTube, Facebook Google, Reddit, Apple, Pinterest, etc.
