Hi, all you wonderful people. As I always say, it's great having you with me for another monologue as we take a deliberately critical look at some of the plans that the powers that ought not to be have in store for us. But before we launch into today's monologue, I do have a bit of news, which is to say we now have a sponsor. We have our very first sponsor.

They're called Gold Boolean Partners and as far as I am concerned, they are a thoroughly good bunch.

I know them personally. I've spoken to them at length, but all sorts of things,

They're all about gold and silver.

And one of the things they say is, and I'm quoting them here,

gold bullion partners, owning gold and silver is a way to look after your wealth.

It's not about speculation, it's about preservation and keeping your money safe and in your control.

So what gold bullion partners do is they help you and advise you through the process of buying gold and silver.

The actual stuff, not certificates, the actual bits of metal.

And in talking the process through with you, you find out together if it's something for you or not.

If you want to find out more about them, there's a link to all of it in the notes below.

Not only, but also, here's how you can help support this channel directly.

All you need to do is go to my patreon.com site, my presence there, and become a member.

It's a brilliant site, if I do say so myself exclusive weekly videos more importantly it's it's populated by by a wonderful bunch of

people like-minded people and the details are also in the notes below.

If you're holding on to a rising balloon, then you face a dilemma,

which is to say,

should you let go and face the pain of landing?

Or are you, by at least your own estimate, already too high,

so that the only option is to keep hold of the rope and go higher and higher? I think about this all

the time in relation to the world we're living in now. Not on my own behalf anymore, you understand,
