Through the Fire
Siôn Russell Jones
What matters most
is how well we walk through the fire
Even though It can hold you back
Take you time and close your eyes
Soon enough the fire dies
There′s but a flicker left of that flame
And just a flicker left of that pain
What matters most
is how well we walk through the fire
Even though It can hold you back
What matters most
is how well you hide your troubles
Mine are as clear as daylight
but they won't hold me back
If you don′t let go you never gonna know
So don't look back, never look back
The dimming embers, they still burn
But that's just the lessons that we learn
What matters most

Even though It can hold you back

but they won′t hold me back
If you don′t let go, you never gonna know
So don't look back, never look back
If you don′t let go, you never gonna know
Don't be sad, never look back
If you don′t let go, you never gonna know
Don't be sad, never look back

POOF SAID
Greeting and Salutations,
We are watching the weather events and the notices coming out of subtle changes plus the nosing around of. principals who are hard at work to deter or defer the leveling of the playing field.
No, we can not say that the funds are about to break through but happily the funds are safe and a bigger picture is unfolding; the Gesara and Nesara stuff has some merit in spite of all that bad press it gets.
We can assure you that we continue to guard the hen house and we keep watch on the foxes and all of the militia that could get called into play. We are on guard and we will be happy to report as more comes to bear.
Love and Kisses,
Poof

Caged Bird
By Maya Angelou
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
Namaste'

The statutory value of gold refers to the price or value of gold as established or fixed by law or government regulation, rather than being determined by market forces like supply and demand. Historically, statutory values of gold were set by governments to define the exchange rate of gold with their national currency, often in the context of the gold standard, where currencies were pegged to a specific amount of gold.
This fixed legal value contrasts with the market value of gold, which fluctuates based on trading in the global gold markets. Today, most countries no longer have a statutory value for gold since currencies are not tied to gold, but the concept remains relevant in legal contexts, such as central banks' gold reserves and specific fiscal policies.
In the context of the U.S. gold reserves, the statutory value of gold is a fixed price set by law, which is significantly lower than the current market value of gold. The U.S. Treasury still maintains this statutory value for accounting purposes, despite the fact that the U.S. dollar is no longer backed by gold (since the U.S. abandoned the gold standard in 1971).
Application to U.S. Gold Reserves:
-
Statutory Value: The official statutory price of gold in the U.S. is set at $42.22 per troy ounce under the Gold Reserve Act of 1934. This price is used by the U.S. Treasury for accounting and reporting purposes when valuing the gold held in the U.S. Treasury's reserves. This figure has remained unchanged since 1973, even though the market price of gold has risen significantly.
-
U.S. Gold Reserves: The U.S. holds a substantial amount of gold (over 8,100 metric tons) in its reserves, primarily stored in locations like Fort Knox and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The value of this gold is reported using the statutory price of $42.22 per ounce, which leads to an official accounting value of U.S. gold reserves that is far below its actual market worth.
-
Difference from Market Value: The market price of gold is determined by global trading on commodities exchanges and typically fluctuates based on supply and demand. As of 2024, the market price of gold is around $2,500 to $2,600 per ounce, much higher than the statutory price. This means that while the gold reserves are valued at billions of dollars under the statutory rate, their true market value is in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
-
Purpose: The statutory value is a historical relic from when the U.S. dollar was backed by gold, and it now serves primarily for internal accounting within the U.S. Treasury. It simplifies the bookkeeping of the government's gold holdings but does not reflect the actual economic value of those reserves. While the statutory value of U.S. gold reserves is used for government reporting, it vastly underestimates their real market value.
Title of U.S. Gold Reserves:
The title to the gold in U.S. reserves is held by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, specifically under the legal jurisdiction of the U.S. government. This gold is primarily stored in places like Fort Knox, the U.S. Mint at West Point, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The gold reserves are part of the national assets, managed and accounted for by the Treasury, but owned by the U.S. federal government on behalf of the public.
What Would Happen if the Statutory Value Was Changed to $500 per Ounce:
If the statutory value of gold were changed from the current $42.22 per ounce to $500 per ounce, several significant financial and accounting impacts would occur:
1. Increase in the Official Valuation of U.S. Gold Reserves:
-
The U.S. Treasury currently holds over 261 million troy ounces of gold.
-
At the statutory value of $42.22 per ounce, these gold reserves are valued at approximately $11 billion.
-
If the statutory value was raised to $500 per ounce, the official accounting value of these reserves would increase to about $130.5 billion (261 million oz × $500).
2. Impact on the U.S. Federal Balance Sheet:
-
This change would boost the official assets of the U.S. government by reflecting a closer (though still undervalued) estimate of the gold's worth. It would improve the appearance of the U.S. Treasury's balance sheet, reducing the ratio of debt to assets, which might affect perceptions of U.S. fiscal health.
- However, since this is an accounting change rather than an actual sale or use of the gold, it wouldn’t directly affect the national debt or reduce federal deficits.
3. No Immediate Effect on the U.S. Dollar or Monetary Policy:
- Since the U.S. no longer operates under the gold standard, the statutory value of gold is primarily an accounting mechanism. A change in this value wouldn’t directly affect the dollar’s value or the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy.
-
The market price of gold would still be far higher than the new statutory value ($500 per ounce is still below the current market price of ~$2,600 per ounce). The dollar remains a fiat currency, meaning its value is not tied to gold reserves.
4. Potential Legal or Political Implications:
- Increasing the statutory value of gold could spark political debate, especially regarding government transparency and the actual economic utility of the gold reserves.
-
There may also be calls to further increase the statutory value to align it more closely with the actual market value, though doing so could have broader economic and financial consequences.
5. Impact on Gold-Backed Securities or International Confidence:
- An increase in the statutory value might suggest to some observers that the U.S. is acknowledging the potential for gold to play a larger role in its balance sheet. However, unless there’s a broader shift toward gold-backed currency (which is unlikely under orycurrent economic systems), the change would remain symbolic and largely administrative.
Changing the statutory value of gold to $500 per ounce would increase the U.S. Treasury's reported assets significantly, but it wouldn’t directly affect the economy, the dollar's value, or debt levels. The gold reserves would remain an underutilized asset held by the U.S. government unless furtherost

HI ALL
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE NOW COME OUT PUBLICLY AGAINST THE WHO. TRUMP TOOK THE US OUT OF WHO, AND BIDEN PROMPTLY PUT THE US BACK IN. THE WHO WANTS TO SUBJUGATE THE WORLD TO MEDICAL TYRANNY, AND THE FINAL DECISION IS COMING IN EARLY NOVEMBER. THE WHO IS COUNTING ON THE WORLD TO SUPPORT ITS PLANDEMIC TREATY, AND IF THAT WORKS, WE WILL HAVE THE ONE WORLD ORDER DEEP STATE WANTS FOR US.

COVID, MOVID, WOVID AND ALL VARIANTS MAY SOON DISAPPEAR.
THE POLARIZATION WE SEE BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS IS QUITE EASY TO EXPLAIN BY UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DEMOCRACY AND A REPUBLIC.
IN A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT, THE MAJORITY MAY PASS LAWS OF ANY KIND THEY WISH. IT IS A NOSE COUNT. IN ATHENS, A GOOD EXAMPLE WHERE DEMOCRACY SHINES BRIGHT IS SOCRATES. THE PEOPLE VOTED TO KILL HIM BECAUSE HE HAD DIFFERENT IDEAS. HE TOLD THEM, YOU ARE WRONG, BUT YOU ARE RIGHT IN YOUR MAJORITY LAW. A DEMOCRACY IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH A CONSTITUTION SUCH AS THE USA HAS IN ITS CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC GOVERNMENT MODEL.
IN A REPUBLIC, THE GOVERNMENT IS LIMITED BY THE INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF MEN AND WOMEN. THE GOVERNMENT’S JOB IS TO PROTECT THOSE RIGHTS. IN THIS FORMAT, SOCRATES WOULD HAVE LIVED.

IS THIS THE REASON WHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE SELLING FEAR THAT DEMOCRACY IS OVER IF TRUMP WINS?
IN CANADA, WHERE GENOCIDE WAS PRACTISED BY THE GOVERNMENT IN CONCERT WITH THE VATICAN, THE TRUTH IS BEING MADE VISIBLE BY THE VERY LOUD VOICES THAT ARE DRAWING ATTENTION TO THE MURDER OF THOUSANDS OF INDIGENOUS CHILDREN.
On September 30, Canada's "Reconciliation Day" conceals the past and present mass murder of indigenous children. This message from Kevin Annett, who since 1995 has led the movement to expose and prosecute genocide in Canada, calls on people everywhere to honor the Banishment and Confiscation Order issued by indigenous elders against the Catholic, Anglican, and United Church of Canada. People should wear black, not orange, on September 30, and boycott the reCONciliation events. This video is filmed on the site of the 'mushhole" death camp in Brantford, Ontario, where Kevin helped Mohawk elders excavate children's remains in late 2011. Part Two follows in a separate video. See www.murderbydecree.com under 'ITCCS Updates'. Posted on 22 September, 2024.

IN THE FUNNY DEPARTMENT, SCIENTISTS HAVE DISCOVERED ANOTHER WAY TO SAVE THE LIVES OF COVID CLIENTS IF VENTILATORS DON’T WORK. THEY WILL STICK A TUBE UP YOUR REAR AND REPURPOSE THE GUT TO BREATHE AIR. THEY WON THE IG NOBEL PRIZE.
It has no affiliation to the Nobel Prizes and the IG Nobel group “celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative – and spur people’s interest in science, medicine, and technology” by making “people laugh, then think.”
This year, a Japanese research team won for discovering that mammals can breathe through their anuses. The study authors believe this may offer an alternative way of getting oxygen into critically ill patients if ventilator and artificial lung supplies run low (they all seem a little far-fetched to me, but then what do I know?).
