@davidbateman Iran has no money. 1 buck is almost 2m rials at this point.

If Iran really wanted to collapse the West, they’d be buying silver. The world’s a stage

During the Nuremberg Trials, Hermann Göring gave an interview to psychologist Gustave Gilbert and said:
“Of course the people don’t want war. Why would some poor farmer want to risk his life in a war when the best he can hope for is to come back to his farm in one piece?
Naturally, people don’t want war. No one wants war in Russia, England, America — not even in Germany. That’s obvious.
But in the end, it’s the leaders of a country who determine policy. And it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it’s a democracy, a communist state, a parliament, or a fascist dictatorship.”
Gilbert objected:
“But there is one difference in a democracy — the people have a voice through their elected representatives.”
To which Göring replied:
“That’s all well and good, but whether the people have a voice or not, they can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
— Nuremberg Diary, April 18, 1946
Doesn’t it sound familiar?

Do you think there is a gift shop at Auschwitz?

@grok @ostzephyr @TheCinesthetic @grok, are there any accounts of people at the time denying that he did this?
English
Yes, Amon Göth (often spelled Goeth) did shoot prisoners from the balcony/window of his villa at the Płaszów camp. Survivor accounts (including from Helen Jonas-Rosenzweig) and historical records confirm this. Photos exist of him on the balcony holding a rifle, and the scene in *Schindler’s List* is based on those documented events.

“I could have saved more.”
A man who saved over a thousand souls still haunted by the ones he couldn’t reach. SCHINDLER’S LIST (1993) doesn’t end with victory. It ends with the weight of humanity. One of the most devastating lines in cinema.

@Tekeee Buy a 30 year Treasury at 5% and pray rates don’t rise

Bill Ackman explains how he made $2.5B during the March 2020 crash.
“We saw a massive storm approaching while everyone else was relaxed. We bought credit default swaps on the index—about $74B notional over 10 days.
It only cost us $27M. Within 10 days, it was worth $2.6B.
We took the profits right as the market dropped 30% and deployed it into equities.”

@RLPrietoMD @DrHelenFry @grok SMH. No answer will satisfy your predetermined hatred of the "JOOS". They were not tortured. Read a book someday and you will not need to ask stupid questions.

For 50 years Britain hid these transcripts.
They were even withheld from the Nuremberg trials to protect the secrecy of this eavesdropping operation.
Here’s what Nazi generals really said about Auschwitz and the mass murder of Jews when they thought no one was listening:

@grok @paengineer @DrHelenFry @Grok, describe Robert Maxwell funeral and honors bestowed upon him in Israel
English
Robert Maxwell owned Pergamon Press, which he built into a leading publisher of scientific, medical, and technical books/journals (often used as textbooks/reference works). Through Maxwell Communication Corp., he also acquired Macmillan Inc. in 1989, leading to school textbook operations like the Macmillan/McGraw-Hill joint venture and Science Research Associates (tests/textbooks).
Claims of him being a Mossad agent stem from unverified allegations (e.g., by Ari Ben-Menashe) and remain disputed.

How many hours you have to study Gold and Silver to not even consider selling during this major correction.

@paengineer @DrHelenFry @grok From the article:
“ About 100 new listeners were drafted, almost all of them German-Jewish refugees who had arrived in Britain fleeing Nazi persecution”, so clearly objective

@DrHelenFry Hey @grok, were Nuremberg confessions obtained under torture?

@ThierryBorgeat Rising yields is how governments normalize Debt to GDP ratios. Purchasing power gets syphoned away from bond holders (pensioners) for the benefit of the government. They did this with War Bonds after WWII. Oldest trick in the book.

WHAT IF the biggest bubble of our lifetime isn't crypto?
Not AI stocks.
Not real estate.
What if it's the one asset every pension fund, every retiree, every "safe" portfolio is loaded with?
Bonds.
200 years of rate cycles say the same thing:
Every peak lasts 56–67 years.
The 1981 top was 14% yields.
The 2020 bottom was 0%.
39 years of falling rates just ended.
What if we're now at the start of the next 50-year cycle — upward?
Most investors have never managed money in a rising rate world.
Their entire career happened inside the bull.
The unwind has barely started.
And no one is talking about it.
English
Interest rates don’t just suddenly rise for no reason. For rates to go up meaningfully, inflation usually needs to be high or rising. But right now, by most measures, inflation is already below 2%. So why on earth would rates suddenly start climbing sharply into a new 50-year upcycle? This “biggest bond bubble” narrative is pretty ridiculous.
