Turkey expands its economic and ‘defense’ strategy in Egypt, Morocco, Libya and West Africa
‘We’re Putting The Band Back Together!’
Well, there are other precious metals - silver, platinum, Palladium, Rhodium, unobtainium, etc.
I don’t even know what Rhodium is! I’m pretty much a silver and gold kind of guy, with a touch of platinum in the collection.
🚨 JUST IN: Alligator Alcatraz will start taking in illegals Florida on TUESDAY, per Gov. DeSantis
Holy CRAP that was fast!
It’ll soon hold OVER 5,000 ILLEGALS. We need more of these! pic.twitter.com/8ogBACoxBh— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) June 27, 2025

LOLOLOL
Great story!
-—Total gold around would be a 72 feet cube? Geez! The miners and panners have been working their picks off. I remember when that cube was only 36 feet on a side——been awhile.
Rhodium - I think it’s the metal from the Rhododendron plant.
No, that’s not it - it’s a white element of the platinum group, corrosion resistant, and used in Catalytic converters, jewelry, and the chemical industry. So I may, in fact, have a touch of Rhodium in my exhaust system.
Here’s probably the rankest speculation you’ll ever see. More rank than a dead skunk in the middle of August:
What about Mars? Wouldn’t it be something if Mars turned out to have massive amounts of gold underneath the surface? I know the Prez (and Elon Musk) have expressed a pretty keen interest in going there . . .
Go easy on me; I haven’t even had one beer yet. Heh. :-)

Interesting deduction.
Just thinking...🤔 (and wish I knew more).
Maybe because of the long-standing stigma of crypto being the means for criminal activities? It that’s the objection, perhaps when crypto transactions are more universal and a part of how we do commerce, it would be more acceptable.
And then there would need to be a USD/Crypto conversion plug-in app available to update the FR software. That might require some software architecture updating to prep for such an adaptation. Takes time and might require some serious downtime. This has been such a God-sent site for a lonnng time. Perhaps there could be a completely new website with access to everything here. I can’t imagine losing it all. Really, any of it.
...
As things progress, it would be quite the change (do not like thinking in amounts like “0.00000059 BTC”. How many zeroes is that again? Oh, yea, six. 0.59 millionths of a BTC!)
Yep. I can just see myself (and, others) buying veggies at the farmer’s market.
My inner stopwatch would need to be rewound more than once.
Hopefully, it won’t take too long to adjust.
Monkey Wards, lol.
W.O.W
ThankQ for posting.
ANYONE WHO LIKES THE WRITINGS OF JAMES HOWARD KUNSTLER might be interested in a book he wrote in 2009..
World Made by Hand
In this “richly imagined” dystopian vision, mankind must find a way to survive as modern civilization slowly comes apart (O, The Oprah Magazine).
When Earth ran dry of oil, the age of the automobile came to an end; electricity flickered out. With deprivation came desperation—and desperation drove humanity backward to a state of existence few could have imagined.
In the tiny hamlet of Union Grove, New York, every day is a struggle. For Mayor Robert Earle, it is a battle to keep the citizens united. As the bonds of civilization are torn apart by war, famine, and violence, there are some who aim to carve out a new society: one in which might makes right—a world of tyranny, subjugation, and death. A world Earle must fight against . . .
The first 35 pages are available for you to give it a look..

If I have it right they rounded up a bunch of FEMA trailers to house the dirtbagz in? I hope they have a plan to make them avoid trashing the trailers. Something like: You trash it, you live in it forever. And if you dirty it up, the farther we send you. Uganda is great at all times of the year.
