Just in case “Mr.” Spock missed my response…
…to Pedro below in the “How About Some Balance Here” thread.
You are so right about the Eastern European countries and others who have suffered under communism. Poland and Hungary have not only lived under communism, they suffered under muslim occupation for centuries. I don’t know where Mr. Spock was born but I suspect he is a typical dyed-in-the the-wool America hating Canadian. To me, he has concocted a market excuse for Biden to win and is using that to hide behind the fact that he is just another leftist who WANTS Biden to win. He admittedly now lives in a muslim country and brags about how muslim women are so respected where he lives. I hereby challenge him to tell us which muslim country he lives in so we can measure their official policy on women, Jews, Christians, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and Western Civilization against our Constitution and values.
Tshannon…this is so far off the mark that you have outdid yourself with wild assed speculation…You probably have never been so wrong and off the mark in your life .
WTF man ?
I have met Spock . He is an Aussie…born and raised but has lived in a very Western Muslim Country for many years precisely because he saw all of this coming in his native Country.
The Country where he lives is very stable and hugely capitalist .
His observation on Arab families should not be dismissed from someone who has never lived in a country with these customs and never seen it first have
He is a mover and shaker in the mining industry … not just precious metals. ..and has worked on projects in just about every Country you have never herd of .
He is probably the most conservative of free market capitalists you could ever meet. A real interesting guy to get to know.
And one of the brightest minds you will never meet.
I have no idea how you could have come to such a wingnut wild assed conclusion about Spock…but now the record is straight.
PS…if you want a picture…think of the Guy in the commercial who says…i don’t always drink beer but when I do Drink Dos Equis …
PPS…educate yourself about some of these smaller Muslim nations…Their Cities are far more successful and safe and peaceful and clean that most of the USA and Canada for that matter….It is stunning what they have done in these places…and there is no unemployment and no poverty…great examples of Capitalism as it is supposed to be.
Sheesh
I understand he is one of your sponsors Fully. Not the first time we have butted heads.
I guess I was wrong about your “conversion”.
Why don’t you let him speak for himself? Wait, I know why.
Please don’t ban me like you did before you got red pilled.
He will speak for himself when he wakes up and sees your post …Spock is in a different time zone you see.
10 hours ahead of you
We have NO sponsors Shannon
Audept and I foot all the bills .
Spock is a valued member of this community
Some I value more than others…
Thats a perk…would you agree ?
I have met many people who cannot wait for America to fail. It is like the satisfaction that small minded people have when the rich person down the street fails. When one cannot rationalize ones own lack of success jealousy is a common path.
I shudder to think what the world would be like without America. The Man in The High Castle comes to mind.
I am pro free speech from anyone. I don’t care what you look like or what religion you are. When I see an opinion offered sometimes I feel compelled to respond. I would prefer we stick to gold/gold stocks and technical analysis.
No problem here with that. But when someone defames the USA like Spock did I am going to respond. I just hope Fully keeps this forum open to that.
Defamed the US ?
I think he defamed the Left side of the US….Not the right side !
What “constitution and values”? Here in Canada (Ontario) we are being ruled by a government that has seized emergency powers although there is no emergency aside from an outbreak of new seasonal respiratory virus which is now over. The limit to these powers is one month and can only be extended by parliamentary vote month by month but they then voted themselves the privilege to extend them themselves for a year. They seem to know how long the “emergency” is going to last! And is there is a big outcry from the opposition parties or the public or media? No. Western countries like Canada are clearly in decline if not in outright collapse politically and unless the courts will enforce the law there no longer is a constitution anymore or the values it contains like freedom of assembly, movement, expression, religion and security of person. Western countries are failing the test of upholding the values they claimed to defend and represent. What good is a constitution if it has no effect in emergency conditions?
I couldn’t agree more Tim. I was speaking about the Constitution of the United States, which is very much in the balance in less than 30 days.
The great state of Texas says “There is no pandemic exception to the Constitution.” Let’s all move there. They would welcome us.

Very well put Tim.
You need to run for office …problem is we have NO Right wing party in Canada…Just Left , More Left , and Ridiculous Left
🙂
Fully, c’mon man, lol. Are you trying to tell me Spock fled one of the most free Western countries in the world years ago because he foresaw the state of Victoria was going to become a totalitarian entity within the country of Australia due to the Wu Flu? Sure. Since he can’t tell me, maybe you can. Just what is the muslim “Country where he lives (that is) very stable and hugely capitalist?” Maybe you can but I bet you can’t tell me about their human rights.
Sorry to keep hammering you Fully. I used to run television stations before I retired lol. I get it.
I know all about all about sponsors.
You’ve made your point quite clear to the point of being inflammatory. I really don’t think you’re going to get the reaction you’re looking for here.
Then you get it that there are no sponsors such as they have in television.
We have rejected multiple offers for lucrative sponsorships
We are a very popular free site.
I am a capitalist and was always ready to accept some form of sponsorship
But Audept his higher values and doesn’t want to be beholding to any one…
So we pay …so you can play
You do not seem to appreciate that…this is NOT a commercial site …non profit…only a loss
But One perk comes with this format…yes I can delete your access if you become a pain in the ass again
If he wants to tell you he will
But it’s really none of your business.
I will tell you it is Not Qatar ….but for your education check that place out…and there are others much like it.
Since we are being honest…You area prototype for the Ugly American.
You have no clue about much of the World…US Centericity is a Virus rampant in your Neck of the woods.
Qatar

Different cultures value different rights.
I can tell you the citizens of many of these Countries that you know nothing about are happier where they are in their Country than most Americans are about their country.
Actually Nobody is happy in the USA right now….Hate and discomfort abounds on both sides.
Ok Fuly. I think we are on the same side. Just doesn’t seem like your pal Spock is.
Just btw, I know one hell of a lot about the world. Sorry I slandered dyed-in-wool America hating Canadians like you used to be lol.
I can tell you that most Canadians do not hate the USA…Most of them Pity you at the moment.
Personally I love the USA..Love the Anthem….Its beautiful and the Flag and the Incredible geographic diversity
It’s a great place to visit but at the moment i wouldn’t want to live there
The Country and the Concept and the Constitution are Beautiful…but there are a lot of Ugly Americans living there at the moment you must admit
Shannon …if we are on the same side you needn’t have dissed Spock
I can tell you I am on the same side Spock is on in everything he says here.
I did disagree that the markets prefer Biden …but thats about it
This is not about sides…this is about you posting a vision of someone i know that was completely ridiculous…and ridiculing Countries and Customs you know nothing about from your ignorant US Centric Perspective
There you go again Fully. You are showing your hate America bias that you have hidden lately until I called it out. Here is what your pal Spock said “the USA is already a third world country. It can go to hell in a hand basket for all I care. Its done so much damage around the world starting with Vietnam, that the sooner its gone down the toilet, the better for all humanity.” Do you agree with thus statement? It’s a yes or no question.
Much of it is true Viet Nam Contras \iraq…all the wars…he’s right of course…so it’s not yes or no.
But I do not wish it to implode…thats why I am busting my but here every day to help people to see that getting back to work to MAGA is the only hope …IF the Marxists take over …It’s over for a long time.
OK Fully. Maybe we can make the peace. I admit Spock is not a hate America Canadian. He is a hate America Aussie. Right?
I don’t know if he hates America but I assure you he is not impressed by Americans such as you
Who revel in in your face ignorance.
This is just baiting now…so we are done with it
About time, waste of keystrokes (why do I keep coming back to this thread….DOH!)
You are so right YYZ
Sometimes they are just begging for it
The USA portrays itself as an having open, liberal, enlightened, rule of law, and democratic order. They say this liberal world order of goodness is threatened and must defended at all costs, by spending over $1 trillion annually on its military security industrial complex.
This portrayal of the USA is a bullshit myth.
The orchestrated image of the USA as the great upholder of truth, justice, democracy, and human rights conveniently overlooks its meddling in foreign elections; coups and assassination plots in Iran (USA 1953 overthrow of the first elected Iranian government), Guatemala, the Congo, Cuba, South Vietnam, Chile, Nicaragua, and elsewhere; indiscriminate aerial bombing campaigns in North Korea and throughout Southeast Asia; a nuclear arms race bringing the world to the brink of Armageddon; support for corrupt, authoritarian regimes in Iran (the puppet Shah), Turkey, Greece, South Korea, South Vietnam, the Philippines, Brazil, Egypt, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and elsewhere—many of them abandoned when deemed inconvenient; the shielding of illegal activities through the use of the Security Council veto; unlawful wars launched under false pretenses; extraordinary rendition, torture, and the indefinite imprisonment of persons without any semblance of due process (the evisceration of the USA Constitution).
In other words, the USA is the OPPOSITE of how it portrays itself. American hegemony is its God, and the military/security complex’s $1 trillion annual budget, is the evidence of that fact.
Spock. Thank you for posting your comments. It is a good world where we can post our ideas beliefs agree to disagree and not kill each other or god forbid have the state kick in our door and take us away. The woman in Australia who was grabbed for her post was chilling.
Just like one has to choose between the political candidate and the policies they implement, one has to choose between a country’s govt. and it’s people and their belief system. Spock may be accurate in describing the fallout from the US govts. policies. He is completely WRONG in thinking they reflect the beliefs and desires of the American people. Trump wasn’t, nor isn’t part of those policies. He is fighting against the deep state, trying to reign in the military and all that has gone wrong over at least 50 years. America at least for now is STILL the best, greatest country for freedom, liberty and opportunity. Let’shope that doesn’t end on election day!
Totally agree with you Chartsmaster! Trump has been fighting against the deep state. It is the fight of OUR (We the People) lives!
