Oldtent Archives 2007 - 2008

methods of election  campaigning in this country which prevent me from understanding the dynamics of your current situation, I do truly admire your  devotion to a cause you believe in, which you and your son are now demonstrating and which you are sharing with others on Goldtent, even with interested observers, like me, outside your country.  I wish you progress for the ideals and hopes you are working towards.

In your 23:09 note addressed to me, I noted that you cross-referenced it to my 22:51 posting about the history of Barrick.  In my opinion, more relevant to the discussion about Barrick is the link I posted to MadMike at 21:01.  Since Friday, 01 Feb, when I posted a question on the subject,  there has been substantial discussion about Barrick.  For me it has for some time now raised a red flag as to why Mr. Sinclair has been so gentle in his comments about Barrick when so many of us on Goldtent cannot relate to the things that Barrick does or Barrick represents.

The point of my 21:01 link to MadMike is to raise one question.  If in 1999 Barrick purchased Sutton Resources Ltd. for $350 million by way of paying for that purchase with Barrick stock (see link at 21:01), who now has the interest in protecting the value of those acquired Barrick shares that were acquired in the 1999 sale of Sutton Resources to Barrick?

  I do not know how much of Sutton Resources was personally owned by Mr. Sinclair in 1999, or by other Sutton equity shareholders in the form of entities controlled by Mr. Sinclair, nor do I know what has happened since 1999 to the Sinclair-related Barrick shares acquired in 1999.    It is simply this bit of “not knowing” that has made me wonder about the objectivity of Mr. Sinclair when he makes comments about Barrick. 

As I said in a previous note - just wondering.  Equiz.

p.s.  You know what I think it boils down to, Farmboy?  Who do you trust these days?

Been riding this trail…the ‘Golden Bull’, sorta like Ment, and others. Seen, have passed the trail markers along the way. Say a thanks of prayer, even, that I have indeed been a first hand witness to such. And thanfull, that my stubborn ways….my narrow mindness, has kept be in the saddle so to speak. Thankfull, that I am not the nickel flipper type, or beholden to some paper promise, no matter how much the ‘Sirens’ have called. Thankfull, for a single ounce, and still fighting for an ounce of Freedom.

Dont think this Country….USA…as seen anything yet. The banksters and thier paper still in ‘Control’. Able to paper over the ’subprime’ issues, paper over the devaluation of the dollar from 120 to 70’s…..able yet cover a mulitude of sins. Able….to keep the hopes, the 401K’s…alive and well. For how much longer? Only the true ignorance of the American People, will decide. ?????

A Trojan Horse, has entered our gates. (MHO). The lies, deciet of, inflation, and jobs creation/losses….yet to be fully understood or determined. ?? Seems those in Control/Power, wish to offer up thier choices of Hillary and McCain. Can WE as the People, not do better than that? Must be take ‘thier’ offers to heart?

Time, im my opinion, to weight thier words….thier deeds. Time to discover for self, what is value….what is Freedom. Time, almost expired now, to make a stand. Time, ….that is running out, like the ticking clock of the Super Bowel tonight. ?? Time to stand, and deliver. ???

Wouldnt it be something to behold, if tommorrow, We the People made our voice, our wants and wishes known? Wouldnt it be something, if ‘WE’, traded in all the paper promises, the digital bank accounts, for something of greater value, of worth. Imagine even….if we Demanded…..an ounce of value, for wages, and income earned? Imagine, the new World that would come of such? Imagine? To be Free?

Alas, on MOnday, CNBC will spin thier great tales. Offer up thier menu of investments. Cramer will still have his ‘Show’. And the majority will no doubt….follow the Pied Piper to ruin. Few, will on Monday, purchase a single ounce. Declare thier Freedom. Secure thier own futures. I fear, such is the state of the world we live in. Few, will have established a beachead, on some Tropic sands. Few, will have the guts, courage, to seek shelter, outside thier concieved ‘normal avenues’.

Time is short. Farmboy

..looks like YOU were the big winner tonite..
…Cheering for the Underdogs an seeing them win a super Superbowl..
….Thats great that you got to connect with your son under such circumstances…
…Cheers you you an Dr Jekyll…..and to all us underdog Goldbuggers….FGC

Great stuff…stuff of substance and lasting value.

Congrats to you and your son… and the “project”… ideals…you have come to share.

PM Fever….I Feel Good….hehe
…will be home most of day tomorrow….Phone is usually Mme Crown’s domain
…..or..e me your # and a good time to call….

Thank you for your post, and link.

Want to know my true thoughts? Let me know, when YOU, trade your ounces in the woodpile, for the Barrick shares? (grin)

Best, Farmboy…..not the sharpest knife in the drawer…..but thinks, an ounce held…..is worth many times the value of a paper promise. (Course, I can be stubborn like that….lol)

Words tonight, from the past. Of a time, I wish I could not remember exactly. But words, that I still struggle with, wish I could convince only self…they were not true.

To those on the Golden Trail. To those who have been riding this trail for some years. To those, who have built ‘woodpiles’, …..to those tonight, I dont think any words of encouragement are needed. Some seen the storm coming years ago. And made thier bets. Bets, that have been rewarded. Wealth proven to be preserved. An ounce or two at a time.

Many the day, or night…..in my own life experiences….I thought….this was it. The final Call.

Have no doubts some others here, might have thought, expereinced the same. Somehow….we made it past, made it through. Even if we dont understand, or comprehend….how such could ever be. ???

Out numbered, even out gunned…..we have watched the current ‘System’ rail against the most basic measure of honesty, and value. Yet, some have contintued to substain thier Freedom, one single ounce at a time. Against all odds. Agaisnt the prevailing ‘wisdom’ of the Fall St experts, we took an ounce off the table, and stored it safely in our own grasp.

We spoke of Govt secrets to our younger ones. We told stories of preservation of wealth, of what might one day, measure up to thier paper schemes. We spoke of Freedom, of Liberty….of self relience. We spoke from our hearts, and experience, and wisdom….to those that followed.

IF the pages of this tent ever show, can one day retrieve, anything of value, ….it is a message of long ago, If our Glory, is ever shown, it will be one of honesty, in values, and measures, that the modern world…lacks. It will be one, of measured ounces, and not lies, of ‘balance sheets’ that have been ‘dickered with’. I doubt, paper, or its measurements, will ever reveal.

Say,…? What indeed is in your wallet, or pantry? What is the legacy you leave behind? What treasure? What of value or worth…will you leave to those that follow? What, will you be able to leave…..in Freedom, or Liberty. What reason do you have, Not to vote for a man like Ron Paul…an underdog in the greatest of sense and terms?

I think, tonight, my son will fight for his Country. What is left of. I think, my son will also consider other places, lands, …..if his/this generation, does not soon correct the current situation. I think, ….not all sleep. Or, are unaware.

I think, ….many will indeed be surprised, where Freedom may rise up from. Where Freedom and Liberty, may soon find its ‘New Home’. I think, some even here…..may be making plans…..for the next world….the next ’safe haven’. Mostly I think, I am the least, the least smart, the latest person to discover, understand, and make a Plan B. That is ok….I always been a bit slow to understand. (grin) The good thing about being a ‘Farmboy’ is…not many expect much of me, expect that I ever…had the answer, to anything.

Best, Farmboy….who thinks, we all better figure out, not only what has value, but the best way to preserve, and to seek Freedom.

Gold up a few bucks tonight. Another ‘underdog’ that stands in valiant pose, to the paper puppeteers?

So far, the underdog has passed the 300,400,500,666, 700, 800. 900 mile markers. Not bad at all. And still, a lot of folks are still in the saddle, expecting even greater numbers, mile markers, to come. Is this an optimistic group, a wise group?

So sez ole FArmboy, who aint gonna get excited, even think about trading in any of the Precious, until I see the inflation adjusted figures of at least, 2,200 an ounce. Let the winds blow, the talking heads babble on, still holding on, and hangin in. Seems a few, understand, know, the games have yet to play out. And I aint surrending the first ounce…..

Best to all, Farmboy

Son will be standing outside the local polls….making sure, Ron Paul Voters dont get ‘cheated’ by some no paper trail Electonic Voting Machine. He will be standing, as some of long ago stood, to make sure Freedom still has a chance, a fight. He will in different ways than I, be standing in the gap. And, In a lot of ways, be standing, fighting, for little chance this country has. But hey! The Giants pulled it off…..so who is to say????

Just a few thoughts, from an ole Farmboy. (Who thinks,….there is hope for the underdog….yep)

LOL…yeah, aint that just like a farmer…LOL

Doubt a whole lot of farmers end up in the Southern Zone, but the few that do….we done been there, done that….(grin). Aint nothing like plowing a field in august, to prepare one for a little toil, and heat. (grin)

Congrats this evening to the NY Fans. I was pullin for em…just cause they was the underdog. Manning? Well, seems to me his passing skills, aint what his older brothers was…..but they pulled it off.

Most of all, Best of all, my son spent this Superbowl Evening, with his ole man. We shared a ‘Victory’ together. He understands a whole lot about Freedom, and Silver & Gold…..and a whole lot more about family than I ever did. Tonight was a great night, one for the books, in my book, my son, spent it with his ole man,…..and we ‘won’ together. Kinda makes up, in my mind, for the times I was not there, was in some far away place, defending “Freedom’. Kinda made up for a whole lot of things….In looking back….I would have done different.

Here’s to the underdog, and to my Son. Here is to the next generation, that will have to figure out, a whole lot of things I was mostly ignorant about.

And, here is to the Gold Tent, whose help has aided, guided me with a steady hand, even sometimes, even had to hold my hand. Here, and cheers, to the best damn group of folks, I ever did know. (And I have known….some good ones)

Salute to my Son, and the folks of the Gold Tent. Best, and Always, Farmboy. Carry On!

Truely a game worthy of the “SuperBowl”!

A great game for all football fans.   The power and talent of the underdog prevailed.

Good night folks

Winedoc

Eli, Burris, Coughlin, the men, and the Giants defense. It’s been a long hall since 1991. I think  I’ll remember this much longer. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeha!

Yes, you did. You called it. Congrats!
Now, how about $1,050 GOLD by Valentine’s Day?

Goodnight, everyone.
