Truth in Media: Jim Rickards addresses the issue regarding Ukraine. Because I walk my own path in life, I have been called quirky, a monicker I approve of. I also like quirky people, and Jim Rickards is definitely one of those. So when Rickards this week expanded on his earlier comments about Russians winning in Ukraine, I sent his notes to a few associates. Here are his comments and the remarks from one of my associates. Since awareness of the bigger picture is so important to investors, I hope you read this. Jim RickardsDecember 1, 2022 Playing With Fire In Ukraine Ukraine… Read more »
Tucker Carlson, my least favorite TV personality, has it right for once This article from HuffPost was published this week: Tucker Carlson’s Newest Conspiracy Theory Involves The NHL Brainwashing Sports Fans Story by Josephine Harvey • Yesterday 11:53 p.m.The National Hockey League showed its support for trans women last week, and now Tucker Carlson is suggesting all professional sports are a vessel for left-wing “forces” to brainwash the masses.Carlson slipped the ridiculous new conspiracy theory into a Fox News segment Wednesday bashing the league after it supported a draft tournament in Wisconsin earlier this month comprised entirely of transgender and nonbinary players. In response to a critical tweet, the NHL’s… Read more »
Trials and tribulations of Grandpa Moses, sometimes book author. My world-class book typesetter in England is struggling with the tables in the text. These all have live links to online data sources, which is ok, but the table width has required a lot of reformatting. The book presently is a massive 615 pages, up from 550. My sleepless night had to do with another matter. Whereas I had believed I was dealing with Amazon, I discovered last evening that I was dealing with an Amazon partner, one that has a lousy score of D+ at Better Business Bureau and a… Read more »
I now have received a signed contract, but there are a couple of small points before I sign it back to get started. Becoming a self-editor and self-publisher has been a learning curve, but I have always enjoyed learning new things. It is disconcerting that few people are as transparent and upfront as me in business. They are not pleased when I do my homework and ask questions that others don’t. Once I was having a beer with a Swedish curling champion, and I asked him how much he earned in a year. He looked shocked and said, “I didn’t… Read more »
I like this piece of writing on the Climate Change Scam I am hoping that Jim Rickards gets around to taking on Larry Fink and Mark Carney Did you know that the climate models used by the UN can’t even backtest correctly with actual data let alone forecast with speculative data? Did you know that CO2 is not a pollutant? It’s actually plant food and we could use more of it if we really want a green planet. Did you know that hurricanes, tornados and blizzards are neither more frequent nor more severe than in past decades? Did you know that… Read more »
Verifying email lists of Cara Community members
After 18 years, I finally started to test the email addresses captured from the list of registrants. I am close to finishing and have verified over 12,000.
Checking is costly, so I don’t think I will be testing another 80,000 or more registered in the first many years before we began to screen them.
I plan to use this list to announce my upcoming book, Stock Market Literacy.
Amazon will publish the book. Some copies will be made available here on the site.
#2 Ohio State vs. #3 Michigan is on today at 12 pm ET
The college football game of the season.
I’m hoping for a Wolverines win like last year, but Michigan is the underdog with the Buckeyes at home this year.
Iconic game by the Michigan QB JJ McCarthy. As I noted earlier in the season, I figured Ohio State was an excellent team but overrated. They were favored today in their home stadium in front of over 100,000 fans. But Michigan wins, and I think ought to be favored over Georgia in the national flay-off. Ironic that almost halfway through Q2, I was about to turn off the game. So boring. I decided on one more play, and McCarthy then did what he does best. So, I continued to watch as the vaunted Ohio State defense failed to do much.… Read more »
The Player of the day was Caleb Williams, the USC QB. Three running TDs, 1 passing TD, and 18/22 passing.
Heck of a team with so many new players and a new head coach. One more win, and they’re in the national championship playoff. I’ll be cheering for them.
The big game is tonight in Las Vegas at 8 pm ET: USC vs. Utah.
If USC wins, they are going to the final four national collegiate football championship tournament. They would not be favored, but I hope they win.
Sad news: Borje Salming has died
Borje was in my top five all-time favorite hockey players. He was a multi-time NHL all-star for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the first Swedish player to be inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame.
He was honored at a Leaf game in a very emotional ceremony 11 or 12 days ago.

Do we need guns in America? As long as the majority say they “need” them, they should have them. Four-in-ten US adults say they live in a household with a gun, including 30% who say they own one, according to a Pew Research Center survey (June 2021). The most prominent reason is for personal protection. But is there a need to have assault weapons? No. Only the police force SWAT teams, and military need them. There will always be gun-related deaths, but there is no reason for mass murder shootings. But why not license them for use only in gun ranges that give… Read more »
Is this the “assault weapon” that needs to be banned?
Every gun sold is a semi-auto whether its a pistol or rifle. Pull the trigger once and it shoots. Those first came out in the 19th century. The one above is a BB gun! They make all sorts of calibers but event the gun above fits the democrat definition of “assault style” weapon, which is also in the PEW and other surveys. You can buy a semi-auto in BB, pellet, 22 9mm and larger. None of them are auto! Thats illegal. Auto is where you pull the trigger and bullets just keep firing non stop until you take your finger… Read more »
The weapons industry, military, and police know what is an assault weapon without politicizing it.
Is academic freedom dead? Last evening, I watched Dr Jay Bhattacharya’s (Stanford Medical School) discussion with Laura Ingraham on Fox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Bhattacharyahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Ingraham On a broader level, my question is, is independent thinking dead? Both Laura and Jay urged Trump to encourage independent thinking regarding Covid-19. Having four Pfizer jabs, wearing a mask faithfully, and still getting a near-deadly case of Covid that required Paxlovid, I’m not so sure Trump was entirely wrong. The operative word is ‘entirely,’ as he also made many ridiculous statements that I rejected. Is independent thinking dead? I hope not, for all our sakes. By the way,… Read more »
Appointment to see the eye doctor because of the continuation of blurred vision
My left eye is perfect, but after the concussion in mid-June, the blurred vision in the right eye got minimally better.
My bp at 117 over 76 was perfect.
Terrific new family doctor. Close by and in and out. Feeling good.
An unexpected benefit of corresponding with an info service I use daily In Stock Market Literacy, I recommend and make liberal use of free market data from sources like Investing.com, StockCharts.com, FinViz.com, Finance.Yahoo.com, and MarketBeat.com. In the case of MarketBeat.com, I use 33 references and numerous links. The company responded to my correspondence with a free lifetime subscription to their top-end service, for which they charge $399,00 annually. An unexpected pleasure!

Social equity means social justice
When elitists like Larry Fink, Mark Carney, Bill Gates, and Al Gore, tell the world they know what’s best for us, we must fight back, or these interventionists will march us all to slavery.
Social Equity is NOT equitism, which is defined as
Neither is it socialism.
AMEN!
Did Russia shoot missiles into Poland, as we all assumed? If the missile fragments are found to be Russian, might the trajectory have been deflected by Ukrainian anti-missile systems? Might we ever learn the truth if the missiles were from Ukrainian forces? I noted yesterday the comment from my warfare-knowing friend: “the first thing to die in an operation of this nature is the truth.” The Information age has been perverted by self-interested organizations and money. Truth is hard to find. My message in Stock Market Literacy is that in order to learn, investors must think independently. But that advice… Read more »
Mail from a friend who discovered I recently had Covid Bill,Sorry to hear you had 4 shots, but it affects different people differently over variable time periods. You know, I did mRNA/rDNA/PEG/Viral transports, genome correction, and telomerase replenishment research for NRC clients in 1999 and 2005/6 for life extension technology to create immortal cell lines. Consequently, no shots for me. I know how they work and what they do 😉 I’d be working with CRISPR now, but I don’t want to create anything I can’t control. As an aside, my father has had 4 shots, is now paralyzed on his… Read more »
Russia launches 85 missiles into Ukraine aiming at energy infrastructure. Two missiles stray into NATO member Poland, killing two. Moldova not hit but power affected.
I believe they will be invoking article 4. Poland is probably itching to invoke article 5.
US appears to be still investigating. Have heard varying reports, one states that Ukrainian air defense fired and hit the missile and remnants came down in Poland.
Thinking of Ukraine Russia is sending missiles into Kyiv and several other cities in a renewed attack today. The question of truth in media has come up. Is Russia losing its war as much as we believe, based on media reporting? A friend wrote me: Bill, you don’t want me to explain what is happening in Ukraine; the old dirty tricks are the best dirty tricks. I worked for the military and Counterintelligence in (another country), and my CO was Colonel (name redacted), the Chief of Counterintelligence. I not only designed/built security infrastructure and DEWs in R&D, plus devices for… Read more »
What is portrayed in media is information warfare.. Russians have a very poorly trained military, but very powerful capabilities and enablers. They have exercised a great deal of restraint in this war.. It could get much worse if they escalate. I just got out of a Corps-level warfighter exercise involving a notional deployment of forces from Poland to restore a notionally invaded Lithuania, cut off ground lines of communication to Kaliningrad, and seizure of Kaliningrad. What I can share is that the nature of large scale combat operations has changed. The days of uncontested logistics and the US relying on… Read more »
Got Canadian miners? A tsunami of U.S dollars are headed their way. Not as loans but outright grants.
U.S. military weighs funding mining projects in Canada amid rivalry with China

Westhaven Gold, working the Shovelnose project and now drilling Skoonka to the northwest, is one of my Jr gold dev/exp holdings. Have been adding in the 30-cent range. I first learned of this company via geologist Joe Mazumdar (Exploration Insights), who later exited his position as he “got impatient waiting for a 2nd discovery”. He missed out on Hole SN-212 last April which was assayed at 23.03-m of 37.24 g/ton gold and 2,110 g/ton silver. This news doubled the shares but then the rally fizzled out. Franco-Nevada has taken a financial interest and also purchased a 2% NSR on Westhaven’s… Read more »
Honoring Borje Salming
The most outstanding Toronto Maple Leaf defenseman of all time has been tragically struck down by ALS. In his years in the NHL, no hockey player has ever been physically assaulted like Borje Salming but he stood up to it all.
Borje will never be forgotten.

After getting stopped out a couple of times, finally built a position in Skeena Resources. DCA is $5.12 US a share. Recent assay came in 20.43 g/ton over 24 meters, that is apprx. 17 oz per ton of rock. Reserves and Resource already close to 10 M oz.
Right now, looks like they are permitting to build in Q2 2023 but I am thinking Skeena is also a possible takeover target somewhere in the 15-18 range or higher which would be a 3x from here. That’s my hopium for the weekend.
A timely book recommendation was sent to me
Election Day
The polls are all over the map, but overall winners seem to be: the Senate GOP 55% and the House GOP 80%
The biggest problem for the Dems is Biden. Talk of him running in 2024 is absolute nonsense.
RE Trump in 2024, why not wait until the DOJ decides the matter?
The country needs change in many ways, but the lack of transparency in the stability of the banking system concerns me more than politics.
About the US election process I believe that Joe Biden won and Donald Trump lost in 2020, and that election deniers seriously lack moral character. But the number of complainers is so large that the issue must be addressed. The process is broken when say, 20% of Americans believe it is broken. It would be helpful if federal elections were held on a national holiday. The party organizers should arrange plenty of transportation to voting stations, and there should be enough stations to process legal voters efficiently. In my case, I never have had more than a two-to-five-minute wait to… Read more »
The midterm election is supposedly being decided over the economy and crime If the Republicans get in, I believe the needle will not move a bit on either of these issues. I do believe the Republicans will quickly tackle the southern border migration problem, which must be done, and start retribution impeachment proceedings against Biden, which will further split the country and probably lead to widespread civil unrest unless Biden is proven to be as crooked as Trump, which well may be the case. That will leave almost two months for the AG to initiate criminal proceedings against Trump. The… Read more »
Shout-out to Owen Cara Owen plays left defense for his U-11 minor hockey team that was an easy 5-2 winner yesterday. Owen had three assists by his grandfather’s boxscore, but who’s counting anyway. More importantly, he was chosen as one of the game stars, and the smile on his face afterward put one on his parents and grandparents. He’s a solidly built kid his peers don’t want to run into. His skating has developed 100% over last year’s, and if he keeps doing that for the next few years, who knows his upside? After all, in the family tree, there… Read more »
