The Watchman On The Wall

The Watchman On The Wall
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Gold Demand Hit 11-Year High In 2022, Feb. 6, 2023

 



2/01/2023

Gold demand grew by 18% to 4,741 tons in 2022, the highest demand in 11 years, according to data compiled by the World Gold Council.

Massive central bank purchases coupled with strong retail investor buying and slowing outflows from ETFs drove overall demand higher.

Gold demand last year was on par with 2011, "a time of exceptional investment demand," according to the WGC.

Central banks bought 1,136 tons of gold last year. It was the second-highest level of net purchases on record dating back to 1950. It was the 13th straight year of net central bank gold purchases.

Central banks added 417 tons of gold to their reserves in Q4, bringing the total in H2 to 862 tons. This was due to a combination of reported buying by central banks in Turkey, India, Uzbekistan, and many other emerging markets, along with an estimate for significant unreported buying. Central banks that often fail to report purchases include China and Russia. Many analysts believe China is the mystery buyer stockpiling gold to minimize exposure to the dollar.

Meanwhile, the Chinese central bank officially waded back into the gold market after going silent in 2019. The People’s Bank of China reported 62-ton purchases in both November and December, raising its total gold reserves to over 2,000 tons for the first time.

According to the World Gold Council, there are two main drivers behind central bank gold buying - its performance during times of crisis and its role as a long-term store of value.

It's hardly surprising then that in a year scarred by geopolitical uncertainty and rampant inflation, central banks opted to continue adding gold to their coffers and at an accelerated pace."

Investment demand for gold was also strong in 2022, totaling 1,107 tons, a 10% increase year-on-year.

According to the WGC, "The need for wealth protection in the global inflationary environment remained a primary motive for gold investment purchases."

The World Gold Council summed up the dueling narratives in the investment market.

As well as underlying support from geopolitics, gold investment was impacted by a combination of multidecade high inflation, especially in Western markets, and the resultant aggressive rate hikes by the Fed and other central banks. Bar and coin investors focused on the former and sought the safety of gold as a hedge against inflation. In contrast, gold ETF investors reduced their holdings, especially in the second half, focusing on gold's rising opportunity cost as central banks across the globe imposed hefty rate hikes and the US dollar surged."

Now that the COVID-19 production disruptions and widespread China safety stoppages of 2021 have reversed, this lack of production growth gives further credence to claims that gold production is close to plateauing."

Here's how the World Gold Council summed up gold's performance in 2022.

Gold's diverse uses, in jewelry, technology and by central banks and investors, mean different sectors of the gold market rise to prominence at different points in the global economic cycle. This diversity of demand and self-balancing nature of the gold market underpin gold's robust qualities as an investment asset."

Soros' Money Is Tied To At Least 253 Media Organizations Around The World, Feb. 6, 2023

 


George Soros is the closest thing most conservatives have to a bogeyman. Many see him underneath every single liberal rock in the country.

As an American, he’s certainly free to spend his money to influence politics, and he does. He wields an immense amount of power by spending tens of millions of dollars pushing America toward his liberal vision. Often in the shadows, his influence has changed the country.

We know, for example, how he financed the campaigns of many ultra-liberal DAs who are changing how their cities respond to crime and lessen punishments for criminals.

Along with working to fund government officials, Soros is also “buying” the media through several channels. In fact, a recent Media Research Center study shows Soros (and his money) are tied to at least 253 media organizations around the world.

“Fact checking” as a weapon

First, he’s funding fact-checking projects and groups like PolitiFact and its parent company The Poynter Institute. The New York Post reports:

“One of the more recent studies of bias on PolitiFact found sources six times more likely to defend Biden in their “fact-checks” than check his facts.”

In fact, the web is even more intricate than that.

“One project of the Poynter Institute specifically, the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), was launched in 2015 with its initial funding coming from the National Endowment for Democracy (backed by the US State Department), the Omidyar Network, Google, Facebook, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.”

The IFCN oversees dozens of fact-checking organizations, who are united under a mission “to bring together the growing community of fact-checkers around the world … in the global fight against misinformation.” Organizations affiliated with the IFCN include the AP fact checker, FactCheck.org, the Washington Post fact checker, and of course, PolitiFact.

“Fact checking” is less about checking facts, and more about silencing dissent. Labeling your opponents as peddling “misinformation” has been one of the more effective liberal weapons over the past few years, and no one has pushed that more effectively than George Soros.

 


Scripture, Prophecy, Jokes and Images, Feb. 6, 2023

 


God was Missing!

 

God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh. He inquired, --- "Where have you been?"

God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, ----"Look, Michael. Look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, ---- "What is it?"

"It's a planet," --- replied God, --- and I've put life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place to test 'Balance."

"Balance?" --- inquired Michael, ---- "I'm still confused."

God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth..."For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor... Over here I've placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things..."

God continued pointing to different countries... "This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said, "What's that one?"

"That's Florida, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful trees and gardens, it's surrounded by water, and days filled with sunshine. The people from Florida are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of good things.

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be 'balance."

God smiled an all-knowing smile… "I will create California…Wait till you see the idiots I'll put there."
