the Eye of Sauron may be able to see all that we do when it is directly looking. Sauron still has rules that he must follow, be they only rules of nature, of God, or of a Constitution still asserted.
We must keep our words and actions within those same rules.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of death and demons, I fear no evil, as I have kept within the rules. They may not touch me without asking judgement upon them. And there are those who will do so.
And I always vote.
The orcs and ring wraiths have spread throughout all of the lands. Unlike in years past everything is financed and there are no significant free assets to be used as collateral to extend the credit creation needed to keep the bond and other bubbles stable and not collapsing.
Ignore the squids that get fined nominal amounts for their market criminal manipulations. Au and Ag cannot bankrupt. Premiums are Skye high.
Jackson Hole may be interesting. Or they will just lead to more credit creation that can never be repaid. Or a collapse starting somewhere. All currencies are credit based. The fiat are paper or electronic digits.
Nice art. Good symbolism.Someday we may all be shook up.
Is not all “currency” dependent upon people assuming it has value?
What is a loaf of bread worth in Au or Ag if you are starving?
Digital numbers mean nothing if you are starving, people do not want them, or there is No electricity anyway.

The streams have officiolly been crossed.
Ding! Ding! Thread winner on the first post.
I got nuthin’
Although the panel of Trump as Elvis is the stuff nightmares are made of for Progtards.
If you ain’t on some FedGov list by now, you should be ashamed of yourself, you ain’t trying hard enough.
For Skye to have been skyclad at the lake, she should not be so pale on the upperdeck
SPF 5000!
Sunscreen.
Sunscreen. City Girl.
Beautiful!
Whew! The interacting levels of reference in today’s strip. Lord of the Rings with Elvis not really dead and making a comeback.
And I want a poster of that middle panel! 🙂
But, only down side is, now I can’t get “You ain’ nuthin’ but a hound, Joe, hidin’ all the time…” out of my head. Thanks a lot, Chris…
ROFLOL! Bravo! Author! Author!
Thx, Too Tall, I needed that.
“You ain’t nothin’ but a hound, Joe….”
The King lives. The recent biopic “Elvis” is a must see. A 16 year old girl from Norway pays him tribute with a voice that rivals his own.

Roy,
Thanks for the link to an incredibly beautiful video.
It takes talent and courage to cover a well-known and beloved song.
To do so while remaining true to the original yet making it uniquely your own is a amazing talent.
All that and playing a Hagstrom……. Thanks for the link, Roy.
Make that a Hagstrom Viking. Makes my Nord blood ring out…..
Too Tall,
What if I were to tell you she has done it more than 100 times? She is 16 years old now. Here she is at 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwFloCPXzCs . And 13: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF0JV28vgLw .
She is a once in a lifetime gift, and I say that as an 80 year old. Look her up on youtube and take a trip down the rabbit hole.
Wow. Just wow. Immediately subscribed to her channel. What an amazing voice.
Wonderful

“If you are American, DC sees you as a ‘domestic terrorist'”.
A terrorist by definition attacks civilians targets.
A guerrilla warrior attacks military targets.
A freedom fighter attacks oppressive government.
Which one are they? Which one are we?
Leftists call us what they are. They will never call us what we are.
MadCat,
Probably not her style or interest, but it would be fun to watch her cover Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin on that guitar.

Eye of Sauron or Goatse?
It is DC after all.
The Eye of Sauron is helpless against the Bart Simpson defense. It assumes anyone using such a defense must be a Progtard, and therefore on its side.
