California Lawyer's Den

Well lookey there! The lawyer pops up from the foxhole!

Recess is over. Time to get back to analysis.

Let us start with a most simple observation, and apply it to the many, important, global events unfolding seemingly every day. The concept is not radical. It is just the way...

The best way to start this is to reference a post on tfmr from longtime contributor, Murphy, who posted this question from an article by JS Kim https://archive.aweber.com/sku_newsletter/P8OoD/h/The_Silver_Manipulatio...
