Example of media stupidity

Just watch and listen. She will teach you something. This is a real gem. As if we need any more evidence.












LOL, the dollar is backed by something gold isnt....the US.

[Neckro]

My brain is now full of F-ck!

[Nickelmeister]

Ugghh... and "CTV" news (Canadian) in the bottom corner. How embarassing for my country.

[marblerye]

That's the quintessential example of the absolute backwards-thinking nonsense that most of our population is too ignorant to question. Obviously Bridget is there as just a pretty face to read from the teleprompters...

“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play. The tune does not matter, so long it is the only one the public is allowed to hear. Eventually, they will all dance.” -Joseph Goebbels

[Rodebaugh]

Just great.

You guys have been lying to me all along......I thought this gold thing was fool proof

[rsk1963]

Rode- No... gold's not backed by the US Gov, only things that the us gov approves should be bought.

Generalized, progression of mood while watching this

[rsk1963]

you know, like fannie mae/freddie mac

[slickeast]

Ok, ya'll lying pieces of crap. Had me all brainwashed and I have to hear it from the news that gold is bad and the US Dollar is good.

Now I feel like a realcent ZOMBIE

[Delawhere Jack]

You beat me to it posting this AG. I had to watch it twice I was so in disbelief over what she said.

[SoFa]

I never thought of that, but it's kind of true. Gold isn't really backed by anything.

[Neckro]

I never thought of that, but it's kind of true. Gold isn't really backed by anything.

Industrial uses can be a backing to its worth.

[Corsair]

What happens if my gold atoms default?

[Copper Catcher]

Oh no... you mean GOLD is not back by anything but GOLD! Was she talking about GLD instead?

[rsk1963]

What happens if my gold atoms default?

[silverflake]

Wasn't this called 'New-Speak' in Orwells "1984"? She almost looks like she's dancing.
Interesting how she doesn't mention the CME upping margin requirements or that gold has has a better return than the S&P over the last 10 years. And it's Canadian news too. Fellow realcenters from Canada, please teach your newscasters that they live in one of the richest resource countries in the world and I would rather have money backed by those resources than by "...the U.S. government."

[creshka46]

Oh wow what a relief. I think I'm going to trade in my silver tomorrow and go on a vacation. All that preparing was stressing me out! But if she says the US government will be around forever then I can rest easy at night. Now I can get back to watching Dancing w/ the Stars.....

Life is good


....maybe I'll vote for Obama next year, He seems to want to make my life even better with all that money he wants to give me.

[reddirtcoins]

Well, my gold is backed by something.... The back wall of my safe!!!! Bahahahahaha..

[Hawkeye]

Darn it! I only wish I had got into these dollars a long time ago on the ground floor. You know, before they lost 96% of their purchasing power. I never cease to be amazed at the level of stupidity around us.

[Rodebaugh]

Now this is good humor!!!

What happens if my gold atoms default?

[Pennybug]

Yeah... my Au is backed up by my AR.

Wow, I had not chosen to read/listen to this thread until now. My jaw is still dropped after watching that video.

We should rejoice that AVERAGE people think like this. There is a lot of wealth to be made for people that think clearly.

[NHsorter]

Just reading this threads Topic, it make me think right away, "Man, this could end up being one of those monster threads"

believably unbelievable. its like we're all perched on this ridge, and some distance below we can see a railroad track, stretching for 20 miles in either direction, from the west, we can see a passenger train, far off, and in the east, in the distance, we can see a 100 car coal train just blasting towards the west, and we're just shouting in the wind, "STOP!! STOP!!!!...but nobody can hear.
there's going to be a lot of hurting in this land, folks lining up at banks, hungry people, homeless, desperate. But i dont know, maybe this generation has to go thru the crucible of fire, to steel us, once again as a nation. i dont know, but it sure is sad.

i hear ya Barry, but i sure hate to see my fellow Americans suffer. i myself am powerless to take care of them, the reason i stack is to take care of family. i'm not anti-wealth, but i know and have known a lot of wealthy people, and that lust just consumes them. Its like in "Lord of the Rings", where the One Ring, consumes Gollum, almost gets Bilbo, and definitely puts Frodo thru some hell.

you got me thinking about what "wealth" really means, which is good, thank you bro.
