@JoeLowson @PeterSchiff How is Schiff's business a ponzi scheme, if he's selling real products with real value (gold and silver)?
English
@PeterSchiff so peter schiff warning people about a ponzi while running a gold brokerage that needs a constant stream of new buyers to sustain itself is... something
English
The main difference between a typical Ponzi scheme and $STRC is that with the former the promoter doesn't tell you it's a Ponzi or that your payments will stop when the pool of new buyers dries up. But the financial dynamics remain the same, despite the warning in the fine print.
English
@RealRickRule There was a country called Persia until 1979, when it died, and was replaced with a jihadist state called Iran. Similarly, there was a country called Canada until 2015, when it died, and replaced with a failed state of morons too stupid to even change the old country's name.
English
So insolvency is principled, and pragmatic?
Mark Carney@MarkJCarney
In a more dangerous and divided world, Canada’s approach is principled and pragmatic.

@MayloneVal @VerminusM The Irish overwhelmingly supported Hitler throughout his career. Throughout WW2, Irish ministers would regularly deliver fiery pro-Nazi speeches. Ireland was the only country to send official condolences on the death of Hitler and declared a day of mourning. So yeah, that too.
English
@VerminusM Irish people are a lot like Jews. They like to argue and have big hearts. They always stand up for an underdog against an oppressor. However, they can be very wrong about which party is the underdog. They might pick the crybully by mistake.
English
I love fighting with the Irish on Twitter. We come up with colorful insults, learn a bit of each other's history, let out some steam, then everyone goes on with their lives with all their limbs attached. I wish all wars were like that.
English
@VerminusM Well, fun aside from the fact that they sincerely wish you dead. Which could be amusing to some, I suppose.
English
@PeterSchiff @saylor Imagine your stock tanking SO BADLY that you dividend skyrockets to 12% and BRAGGING about it like it's a good thing.
English
@saylor It's so misleading to constitute fraud. Get ready for the lawsuits when the dividends are cancelled and the stock craters.
English
If this makes you uncomfortable, it’s working. $STRC
Michael Saylor@saylor
You weren’t meant to live an uncomfortable life. $STRC
English
@MarioNawfal I noticed you left out the Jews. Just a 5,000-year-old community in Lebanon, no big deal, amirite? @GadSaad could teach you more.
English
@Kasparov63 Kamala being the only alternative might have something to do with it.
English
Americans elected the vile Trump twice, a bad sign if you believe this is true in a democracy. "A state is nothing more than a reflection of its citizens; the more decent the citizens, the more decent the state."--Ronald Reagan, Prayer Breakfast in Dallas, Texas. Aug 23, 1984
English
@PeterSchiff Taxation is mob protection money. Period. People have tried to explain the difference to me. Nobody so far has convinced me there's any meaningful difference. Al Capone ran soup kitchens with his protection money. He also used the money to wage wars and kill. Same as governments.
English
There was a lot of controversy in reaction to my post on Tax Day about my father’s views on the income tax and how it’s illegally enforced. Watch this video and listen to my father explain his views in his own words. Decide for yourself if they have merit.youtube.com/watch?v=BNy5el…

@PeterSchiff I wish I saw this kind of anger from you when Iran-Hamas carried out Oct 7. All the rapes, the babies beheaded, the children tortured... crickets. But God forbid anyone should stand up to Iran--then all the outrage comes out.
English
Trump using the U.S. Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz could easily be considered an act of war by other nations impacted by the action. What right does the U.S. have to use military force to prevent China from buying oil? However, China’s right to retaliate would seem clear.
English
@cenkuygur If Papau New Guinea were full of Jews, you'd be thinking about them 24/7 and calling for their destruction too.
English
You know what’s the closest country to Israel in population? Papua New Guinea. Not joking. Nearly identical number of people. Imagine if our entire foreign policy was structured around Papua New Guinea.
If there were people who were Papua New Guinea First all over Congress and media. And we had given Papua New Guinea over $300 billion and people were saying it wasn’t enough! That we had spent $8 trillion on wars supporting Papua New Guinea and people said we needed one more war for them!
And if you ever criticized our ludicrous support for Papua New Guinea, everyone in media would call you an anti-Papua New Guineaist and said no one should ever talk to you again. Now, you’re beginning to see how absurd our support for Israel is.
English
Today is April 15th, tax day. My father Irwin Schiff referred to it as the real April Fool's Day, as on this day millions of Americans volunteer to pay a tax that no law actually requires them to pay. For years my father asked the IRS to show him the law, but they never did.
English
@RealRickRule As a Canadian, I can confirm: our government is moronic. But it's a reflection of the people. Canadians who work for resource companies are intelligent and hardworking. They're the exception. The vast majority of Canadians are moronic. It's why they kept voting for Trudeau.
English
Canadians, can you personally afford Ottawa, and Brussels?
Concerned Canadian@Concern70732755
Did any of you vote for this ?? No ! This is a baseless assertion ! Would you ever consider the merits or the lack thereof of joining the EU ?
English
@LMaranoid @PeterSchiff I agree. When finance guys talk about geopolitics, they sound, well... the way it sounds to THEM when laymen talk about finance.
English
@PeterSchiff Jesus, Peter, give it a rest.
Stick to finance.
Your geopolitical commentary is alienating.
No different than actors telling us their opinions: we are not interested in hearing them.
English
So starting a war in the Middle East turned out to be a big mistake. Well, it's not like anyone could have seen that coming.
English
@PeterSchiff @RELLIKREN Gold will shoot up at some point. But it's not acting like the safe haven asset it's often marketed as. I think it's just late. For years during covid, gold refused to move with inflation (another advertised feature of gold). Then suddenly, a few years late, it did. All at once.
English
@RELLIKREN Yes, that's how gold has been trading war news. But I think traders have it wrong. At some point gold will break this pattern.
English
The collapse of peace talks and a U.S. embargo of the Strait of Hormuz should've resulted in more than a 1.2% drop in S&P futures and an 8% pop in oil. It's likely that traders are pricing in the possibility that Trump posts something reassuring on Truth Social tomorrow morning.
English
@PeterSchiff @NoOneCaresYah Peter, you can disbelieve Netanyahu and Trump (most of us do), but Israeli intelligence services are damn reliable when it comes to information--they have to be--and they were saying Iran was just a couple weeks away. I believe them.
English
@NoOneCaresYah What proof was there that Iran was close to having nuclear bombs? Plus, if that was the case, what proof do we have that this war did anything to neutralize that threat?
English
"I'm blockading you!"
"I'm gonna blockade your blockade!"
"Oh yEaH? Well I'm gonna blockade your blockade of my blockade!"
English
@Kasparov63 I would like to see more cooperation between Ukraine and Israel. Both are facing a common enemy in the Iran-Russia axis. But there is still deep mistrust between them, and a big problem with antisemitism in Ukraine.
English
This "Ukraine can’t win, so stop supporting them now" tack has been well represented by Russian bots and sycophants, from foreign leaders to the usual trolls. It works well on Trump, who always sides with strength, not the victim, and must always feel like a winner.
English
Putin gets falsified intel from his commanders because they’re scared of delivering bad news. Trump gets an even more manipulated version of that info from Putin, who always portrays Russian victory as close and inevitable. Trump doesn’t even listen to US intel.
Kate from Kharkiv@BohuslavskaKate
APPLEBAUM: Russians aren't winning, despite the absence of United States. Maybe Trump imagined that if the U.S. disappeared, Ukraine would collapse. It didn't collapse. European part of NATO, Ukrainians, and other allies turned out to be very powerful. It's almost as if Trump is listening to Putin, getting information from Putin. He is not paying attention to what's actually happening on the ground. It's as if he has no information from Ukraine and from Europe at all.
English
@davidfrum @kapskom Honestly, with all the corruption in Western democracies these days (Starmer, Macron, Carney, etc), I don't see how dictators are much worse
English
Why Orban matters to the world - for ill. Brilliantly explained by @kapskom
Kapil Komireddi@kapskom
Viktor Orban built the model that Modi and Trump are mimicking. He reconfigured Hungarian democracy in ways that make his removal extremely difficult. On Sunday, his sixteen-year rule may come to an end. My dispatch from Budapest for the @NewYorker newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…
English
@NiohBerg Funny, I don't see millions of Israelis chanting "death to Israel." I do see millions of Iranians chanting it.
English
Not even joking, Benjamin Netanyahu is more popular in Iran than Israel
