Gold, Silver, and the Great Repricing

No comments

A sober look at the coming repricing of truth in a world awash in paper promises.

1. The Storm and the Shelter

The world entered 2020 expecting growth and stability. Instead, it received paralysis. Economies locked down, supply chains froze, and entire industries vanished within weeks. Markets convulsed in panic as governments scrambled to invent new money faster than businesses could close their doors.

Investors reached for what they always reach for in crisis, certainty. Not profit, but preservation. By August, gold had surged past $2,000 per ounce for the first time in history, and silver briefly touched $29. Futures traders and retail buyers alike rushed into metals as the dollar index slid below 94 and real yields went negative.

Gold and silver were not merely commodities this summer; they were confessions. Every ounce purchased was a quiet admission that the system built on paper promises was no longer trusted.

The world is searching for shelter, and the ancient refuge of honest weight was the only one left standing.

2. The Mechanics Behind the Spike

What drove this explosion is not mystery but mathematics. Between March and September 2020, the U.S. Federal Reserve expanded its balance sheet from roughly $4 trillion to over $7 trillion – an increase greater than the entire balance sheet after the 2008 crisis. Zero interest rate policy returned overnight, and “quantitative easing” became “QE Infinity.”

Congress has followed suit, approving more than $3 trillion in fiscal stimulus through the CARES Act and related programs. Trillions more were promised globally. Fiat supply is expanding faster than productivity, while real-world goods are trapped in ports or shuttered factories.

In simple terms, there are more dollars chasing fewer things. And in the financial psyche, that equation always ends with gold.

The metals market has also felt an unprecedented squeeze in physical supply. Refiners not producing due to lockdowns, coin mints run skeleton crews, and logistics systems are not moving. Dealers worldwide report premiums doubling or tripling even as spot prices fluctuated. Silver Eagles that normally sell for $2 over spot are commanding $6 to $10 premiums. Paper contracts promised metal that refiners couldn’t deliver.

The price spike is not simply speculative enthusiasm; it is logistical desperation layered on top of monetary panic.

3. The Federal Reserve’s Trap

Central banks faced a dilemma of their own making last year. They had promised endless growth funded by endless credit. COVID-19 simply exposed how fragile that illusion was.

When rates are near zero, the Fed loses its ability to stimulate traditionally. The only remaining tools are money creation and moral suasion, the power to promise safety loud enough that investors pretend to believe it. But by mid-2020, even that faith was thinning.

Every new round of quantitative easing was a confession that the last one failed. Each “rescue package” was a bandage on an artery. The Fed had become both arsonist and fireman, printing water to fight a fire made of paper.

Historically, such interventions delay collapse rather than prevent it. Inflation lags behind money printing by 12–48 months, meaning the real consequences of 2020’s stimulus will not appear until 2021–2024. Investors sensing that delay turned to metals not because they expected instant profit, but because they recognized the timeline of decay.

Gold and silver are forward-looking instruments of distrust. When policy becomes parody, people stop valuing words and return to weight.

4. The Psychology of Fear and FOMO

Markets are not run by algorithms; they are driven by fear. By mid-2020, fear had divided investors into two camps, the terrified and the opportunistic.

The terrified sold everything in March, when the Dow plunged 35% over three weeks. The opportunistic saw governments unleashing liquidity on an unimaginable scale and realized the debasement had begun. That group flooded into hard assets: farmland, crypto, metals, and even ammunition.

Silver, in particular, became the “poor man’s gold.” Retail investors unable to afford $2,000 gold bars could still buy $25 silver coins, and millions did. YouTube and Reddit became classrooms of panic-education where first-time buyers learned what a troy ounce was. This democratization of fear created a sustained bid beneath the market.

The psychology was identical to 2008-2011, when gold hit $1,920 and silver $49. Then, as now, monetary policy had cornered savers: zero interest, high risk, and no trust. But unlike 2011, the 2020 crisis affected every nation simultaneously. There was no safe currency left to flee to.

When all fiat burns together, gold ceases to be a hedge, it becomes the denominator.

5. The Biblical Parallel: Weights, Measures, and Moral Value

Economics without morality is a mathematics of theft. Scripture condemned “diverse weights and measures,” the ancient form of currency debasement. When silver coins were clipped or adulterated, markets faltered, and trust died. Our age commits the same sin electronically.

The difference is only cosmetic. Instead of melting the coin, we dilute the ledger. Each new trillion is a theft of time, a silent confiscation of the labor already stored in existing currency. Inflation is legalized counterfeiting carried out by official hands.

Gold and silver remain stubborn precisely because they cannot be printed. They stand as judgment against false promises. When the prophet Amos warned of those “who make the ephah small and the shekel great,” he was describing our modern central banking system. The manipulation of money is the oldest moral crime on earth: the deliberate exchange of illusion for effort.

Thus the flight to metals that started in 2020 is not merely financial; it is spiritual. It is the market’s confession of sin, a turning away from deceit back toward substance.

6. The Forecast: Peaks, Plateaus, and the Path Ahead

As of late 2020, gold now trades near $1,900 and silver around $24. The emotional fervor has cooled slightly from the August highs, but the fundamental conditions remain unchanged. Stimulus continues. Supply chains are fractured. Confidence is gone.

Barring a miraculous restoration of fiscal discipline (which history suggests is fantasy), the metals market will resume its climb after a brief consolidation. However, this next leg will not be explosive but measured. Volatility will persist, but structure is forming.

Gold is likely to test and stabilize around $2,000 per ounce by mid-2021, while silver reaches the $28–$30 zone. Those levels should hold for roughly 12 months or longer with perhaps some mild variations, then, a plateau rather than a collapse, as inflation metrics catch up and the world learns to price permanence again.

This pause will separate speculators from stewards. The impatient will sell when prices stagnate; the wise will understand that value is not measured in months but in integrity of measure.

7. The Second Wave: The Slow Rise Toward 2025

Markets normally move in tides, not explosions. After the first wave of panic buying in 2020, the metals market will enter a period of digestion, the eye of the storm. Prices may appear stable, but underneath, trust in paper will continue to erode. Every new fiscal rescue package, every “temporary” quantitative easing program, will quietly deepen the public’s understanding that none of this money is real.

By late 2021 and into 2022, as stimulus checks fade and the costs of living rise, the delayed effects of inflation will surface. Commodities will strengthen across the board, food, fuel, housing, while wage growth increases but fails to keep pace. When a middle-class worker realizes that the same paycheck buys less food and less security, he doesn’t need a Bloomberg terminal to understand debasement. He feels it in his grocery cart.

At that point, investors will again seek anchors. Gold will climb gradually past $2,200, then $2,500, the $3,500 and near the $4,000 mark by 2025. Silver, which always lags before over-performing, will push through $35 and flirt with $40 by 2023 and the $50.00 by 2025 The advance will not come from excitement but resignation: the recognition that the world’s debt problem cannot be solved, only inflated away.

8. The Limits of Control

Central banks will attempt to manage the narrative. They will claim inflation is “transitory,” then redefine the term when it isn’t. They will hint at rate hikes, then retreat when markets tremble. Each intervention will buy less credibility than the one before. The tools of control are losing potency because they depend on belief, and belief, like currency, can only be diluted so far.

Historically, the endgame of monetary cycles arrives not when policy fails, but when the people finally see through it. That moment is psychological, not mechanical. Once trust dies, charts are irrelevant.

By 2024–2025, gold will approach the $4,000+mark and silver the $50+ range, not because of hysteria, but because the measurement itself has changed. When the ruler stretches, everything appears larger. The metals will not have become more valuable; the currencies measuring them will have become less so. The repricing is not in ounces, but in honesty.

9. The Social Consequences of Monetary Sin

Money is not just an economic tool; it is a covenant of trust between citizens. When governments debase it, they destroy more than purchasing power, they corrode the moral fabric that binds a people together. Inflation rewards the indebted and punishes the disciplined. It celebrates consumption and mocks saving. In time, that moral inversion spreads from markets to households.

We already see its symptoms: the rise of speculation over production, of digital illusions over tangible goods. A generation trades imaginary coins while ignoring the real ones in their grandparents’ drawers. Such a culture cannot endure long because it has detached wealth from work, and price from worth.

In biblical terms, this is judgment. When a society worships paper idols, God often lets the paper burn.

10. The Return to Tangibility

The repricing of gold and silver will not only reshape portfolios; it will reorder priorities. As digital abstractions lose reliability, tangible assets will return to prominence, land, water rights, tools, family businesses, and skilled labor. These are the forms of capital that cannot be inflated or confiscated with a keystroke.

There will, however, be a lagging effect in real estate, one of the few areas where time will favor the patient. Property values move slower than metals because they depend on credit, not cash. As gold doubles in value over the coming years, real estate will not follow at the same pace. The housing market will likely experience a 12 to 36-month delay before prices fully adjust to the new purchasing power of hard assets. This period will be an enormous opportunity for those who held their metals through the storm. When the repricing wave reaches land and housing, those who preserved real wealth will be positioned to convert ounces into acres, purchasing real estate with gold that itself has already doubled in value. Timing, not speculation, will be the key.

Gold and silver will serve as bridges between the old world of credit and the new age of accountability. They are not ends in themselves but instruments of preservation, ballast for those navigating through deceitful seas. Those who hold them are not hoarders of metal but guardians of measurement.

For the prudent, this shift presents an opportunity: to re-align investments, households, and values around permanence rather than promise. For the reckless, it will be ruin. When paper wealth evaporates, those who mistook digits for dominion will discover they own nothing of substance.

11. Lessons from the Past

History offers precedents. In the 1970s, after a decade of monetary excess, gold rose from $35 to $850, a twenty-four-fold increase. In 2008–2011, after another orgy of liquidity, it doubled again. Each cycle was marked by the same pattern: crisis, stimulus, temporary calm, and a second, larger wave of repricing.

The current era is no different, except for scale. The global debt load now exceeds $250 trillion. Central banks are trapped by their own policies; they cannot tighten without collapse or loosen without admitting failure. In such an environment, honest money has nowhere to go but up.

Those who understand this pattern will not be surprised by the next surge. They will recognize it as the inevitable arithmetic of dishonesty coming due.

12. Stewardship and Preparation

The wise man does not buy gold because he fears apocalypse; he buys it because he respects arithmetic. He stores a portion of his labor in a form that cannot be debased by decree. He refuses to let others define his value.

Yet the greater preparation is moral. Wealth without wisdom is still poverty. The repricing ahead is not merely financial but spiritual, a test of stewardship. How one handles truth when the world trades in lies reveals character.

Households should seek strength in order: reduce unnecessary debt, build skills that outlast trends, and invest in things that serve life rather than vanity. Those principles were sound in the days of Solomon and remain sound today.

13. The Moral Repricing

Ultimately, gold and silver are mirrors, not messiahs. They reflect the integrity of the civilization that measures itself by them. When they rise sharply, it is not celebration but indictment. It means the people have lost faith in their stewards.

The “great repricing” is therefore not about metal, but about meaning. As false measures collapse, truth reclaims its proper premium. Those who anchor themselves to honesty, in finance, in family, in faith, will find stability while empires of credit crumble.

The ancient command still stands: “A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.” (Proverbs 11:1)
When the world forgets that law, the market remembers it for Him.

Closing Reflection: The Weight of Truth

The years ahead will be noisy with policy, promises, and panic. Ignore them. Focus on weight and measure. In the end, the world will rediscover what every honest merchant once knew, that value is not created by decree but proven by durability.

Gold will find $4,000, silver will near $50, and then the cycle will repeat again (but with higher numbers). Yet the greater treasure is not metal, but the moral clarity to see through illusion.

Those who hold that, and live by it, will never be impoverished.

Corona/Virus Treatment and Prevention

56 Comments

Last night I was handed a flyer by a good friend of mine originally written by a respiratory therapist that included some common sense things we can do to combat the Corona virus.

After reading the flyer I realized that many people simply were never taught many of the things that I once considered to be common knowledge. In addition many people are regularly administered treatments (often by medical professionals) that actually prolong or even worsen the flu/virus.

Using this handout as a guide whilst adding additional information I have learned over the years I have compiled a list of 10 helpful things every human should know and understand before making decisions about treating viral symptoms, and even preventing them.

Fevers

Fevers in general are irrationally feared by most people, mostly due to a lack of understanding exacerbated by liability concerns of medical professionals. When you contract a virus your bodies immune system identifies that intruder and destroys it while building specific anti-bodies to combat it better in the future.

The process of your immune system using good cells to attack and destroy the viral cells cause a release of energy. That energy is absorbed by the surrounding tissue and blood as heat thereby causing your overall body temperature to rise above “Normal” this is the root cause of fevers.

Viruses are also EXTREMELY sensitive to heat. The elevated body temperature (Fever) is very effective in killing the virus (even more effective than the immune system) . When we take pharmaceuticals such as Motrin, Tylenol, Advil, Excedrin and so forth we lower our body temperature allowing the virus to live longer while making it harder for our immune system to eradicate the virus.

It also helps to keep your house warm, wear multiple layers or cover up and stay warm. This will reduce the amount of energy your body needs to produce heat in combating the virus.

Obviously we should use common sense and treat a fever that exceeds a “safe” level. I personally never treat a fever with medication unless it is in excess of 103 degrees Fahrenheit and other methods such as a cool shower have failed.

Pharmaceuticals

Remember medications DO NOT in ANY way make you well or cure any viruses! Every medication merely relives or covers up symptoms. In most cases they only serve to prolong or even exacerbate the virus. Most medications cause more overall harm than good when used to treat viruses!

There certainly are specific cases where medication can be helpful in combating a virus but these cases should be the exception and not the norm.

Dehydration

Not drinking enough water and staying properly hydrated during the colder months is the primary cause of contracting viruses. It also greatly contributes to prolonging the course of a virus once contracted. Our cells need fresh water to combat the virus as well as process the waste.

When it’s hot outside everyone universally knows that you are easily dehydrated and should drink plenty of water. In addition viruses do not survive well outside the body in warmer temperatures. Most people do not realize we should be drinking at least the same amount in the winter. Cold temperatures extract nearly as much moisture from our bodies as hot, just consider what happens to uncovered meat in the freezer – it is completely dehydrated on a matter of days plus viruses survive much better in the cool weather.

Gatorade and other similar drinks work well for re-hydration if you are sick. These drinks have small amounts of real sugar as well at electrolytes. If you go to the hospital the first thing they will do is give you an IV with D5W (Sugar Water) and Saline. Gatorade is cheaper and doesn’t require an IV.

Humans are well equipped to defend ourselves from these viruses. We naturally breath through our noses where we have several lines of defense. First we have nose hair, then mucus in our nose and sinuses followed by our tonsils. All of these serve as filters to protect us from bacteria and viruses but they only function properly when we are well hydrated. When you do not drink enough water and your nose is dry viral cells are not filtered out and go straight to your lungs where it is very easy to enter the bloodstream.

Mucus is our primary filter. It’s sticky consistency filters out most naturally occurring contaminates such as viruses, The mucus ultimately ends up in our stomach where it is very difficult to enter the bloodstream. Most contaminates and all viruses that I am familiar with are easily killed by our stomach acid and processed as waste.

Help Your Body Fight

We were not intended to be primarily indoor creatures and we were certainly not intended to eat primarily processed and pre-packaged foods. Most people should be taking some basic supplements at ALL times. Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Zinc and Magnesium are the most important in my opinion. This can generally by accomplished with a simple multivitamin once a day. I doubt you will notice an immediate change but when you look back over the course of the year you will notice a trend of better overall health and far fewer sick days.

We all should eat considerably healthier on a regular basis but this is exceptionally important when we are sink. Our bodies have an amazing ability to heal themselves if we provide the nutrients necessary.

Keep Moving

This is one of the most important things we can do once we are sick. Move around, this keeps your blood circulating and helps to oxygenate your body. Keep your lungs moist – Take hot showers and breathe in as much steam as possible. Take repeated deep breaths. Chewing mint gum can help with bronchial dilation. Laying around in bed or the hospital is the primary cause of pneumonia. Try coughing into a moist towel, this helps break up phlegm in your lungs.

If anyone has addition tips please leave them in the comments and I will attempt to incorporate them into this blog

Irish Slave Trade

10 Comments

They came as slaves; vast human cargo transported on tall British ships bound for the Americas. They were shipped by the hundreds of thousands and included men, women, and even the youngest of children.

Whenever they rebelled or even disobeyed an order, they were punished in the harshest ways. Slave owners would hang their human property by their hands and set their hands or feet on fire as one form of punishment. They were burned alive and had their heads placed on pikes in the marketplace as a warning to other captives.

We don’t really need to go through all of the gory details, do we? We know all too well the atrocities of the African slave trade.

But, are we talking about African slavery? King James II and Charles I also led a continued effort to enslave the Irish. Britain’s famed Oliver Cromwell furthered this practice of dehumanizing one’s next door neighbor.

The Irish slave trade began when 30,000 Irish prisoners were sold as slaves to the New World. The King James I Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.

Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white.

From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain’s solution was to auction them off as well.

In 1641, Ireland’s population was 1,466,000 and in 1652, 616,000. According to Sir William Petty, 850,000 were wasted by the sword, plague, famine, hardship and banishment during the Confederation War 1641-1652. At the end of the war, vast numbers of Irish men, women and children were forcibly transported to the American colonies by the English government.(7) These people were rounded up like cattle, and, as Prendergast reports on Thurloe’s State Papers(8) (Pub. London, 1742), “In clearing the ground for the adventurers and soldiers (the English capitalists of that day)… To be transported to Barbados and the English plantations in America. It was a measure beneficial to Ireland, which was thus relieved of a population that might trouble the planters; it was a benefit to the people removed, which might thus be made English and Christians … a great benefit to the West India sugar planters, who desired men and boys for their bondsmen, and the women and Irish girls… To solace them.”(9)

J. Williams provides additional evidence of the attitude of the English government towards the Irish in an English law of June 26, 1657: “Those who fail to transplant themselves into Connaught (Ireland’s Western Province) or (County) Clare within six months… Shall be attained of high treason… Are to be sent into America or some other parts beyond the seas…”(10) Those thus banished who return are to “suffer the pains of death as felons by virtue of this act, without benefit of Clergy.”(11)

The following are but a few of the numerous references to those Irish transported against their will between 1651 and 1660.

Emmet asserts that during this time, more that

“100,000 young children who were orphans or had been taken from their Catholic parents, were sent abroad into slavery in the West Indies, Virginia and New England, that they might lose their faith and all knowledge of their nationality, for in most instances even their names were changed… Moreover, the contemporary writers assert between 20,000 and 30,000 men and women who were taken prisoner were sold in the American colonie as slaves, with no respect to their former station in life.”(12)

Dunn claims in Barbados the Irish Catholics constituted the largest block of servants on the island.(13) Higham estimated that in 1652 Barbados had absorbed no less than 12,000 of these political prisoners.(14) E. Williams reports: “In 1656 Cromwell’s Council of State voted that 1,000 Irish girls and 1,000 Irish young men be sent to Jamaica.”(15) Smith declares: “it is impossible to say how many shiploads of unhappy Irish were dispatched to America by the English government,” and “no mention of such shipments would be very likely to appear in the State Papers… They must have been very considerable in number.”(16)

Estimates vary between 80,000 and 130,000 regarding the amount of Irish sent into slavery in America and the West Indies during the years of 1651 – 1660: Prendergast says 80,000(17); Boudin 100,000(18); Emmet 120,000 to 130,000(19); Lingard 60,000 up until 1656(20); and Condon estimates “the number of Irish transported to the British colonies in America from 1651 – 1660 exceeded the total number of their inhabitants at that period, a fact which ought not to be lost sight of by those who undertake to estimate the strength of the Celtic element in this nation…”(21)

It is impossible to ascertain the exact number of those unfortunate victims of English injustice during this period, but we do know the amount was massive. Even though the figures given above are but estimates, they are estimates from eminent historians.

The flow of the Irish to the American colonies throughout the remainder of the 17th century was large and continuous, but not nearly as massive as between 1651 and 1660. Some of the many statements by historians give evidence of this Irish tide. Higham reports that in 1664 the Irish took the place of the French on St. Bartholomew’s.(22) Smith claims that during the four years leading up to 1675, already 500 Irish servants were brought to Jamaica by ships from Bristol, England that stopped in Ireland for provisions.(23) During 1680 on the Leeward Islands, Dunn posits: “with so many Irish Catholic servants and farmers… The English planters became obsessed with the fear of popery.”(24) Dunn also states that in Jamaica in 1685 the 2nd Duke of Aberlmarle, after his appointment by James II, a Catholic, mustered his chief support from the Irish Catholic small planters and servants and that the indentured servants who constituted the island militia were mainly Irish Catholic.(25) In reporting on Father Garganel’s statements, Lenihan claims: “in 1699 Father Garganel, S.J., Superior of the island of Martinique, asked for one or two Irish Fathers for that and the neighboring isles which were ‘fill of Irish’ for every year shiploads of men, boys and girls, partly crimped, partly carried off by main force for the purposes of slave trade, are conveyed by the English from Ireland.”(26)

During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.

Many people today will avoid calling the Irish slaves what they truly were: Slaves. They’ll come up with terms like “Indentured Servants” to describe what occurred to the Irish. However, in most cases from the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish slaves were nothing more than human cattle.

As an example, the African slave trade was just beginning during this same period. It is well recorded that African slaves, not tainted with the stain of the hated Catholic theology and more expensive to purchase, were often treated far better than their Irish counterparts.

African slaves were very expensive during the late 1600s (50 Sterling). Irish slaves came cheap (no more than 5 Sterling). If a planter whipped or branded or beat an Irish slave to death, it was never a crime. A death was a monetary setback, but far cheaper than killing a more expensive African. The English masters quickly began breeding the Irish women for both their own personal pleasure and for greater profit. Children of slaves were themselves slaves, which increased the size of the master’s free workforce. Even if an Irish woman somehow obtained her freedom, her kids would remain slaves of her master. Thus, Irish moms, even with this new found emancipation, would seldom abandon their kids and would remain in servitude.

In time, the English thought of a better way to use these women (in many cases, girls as young as 12) to increase their market share: The settlers began to breed Irish women and girls with African men to produce slaves with a distinct complexion. These new “mulatto” slaves has a higher intelligence level than that of African slaves, brought a higher price than Irish livestock and, likewise, enabled the settlers to save money rather than purchase new African slaves. This practice of interbreeding Irish females with African men went on for several decades and was so widespread that, in 1681, legislation was passed “forbidding the practice of mating Irish slave women to African slave men for the purpose of producing slaves for sale.” In short, it was stopped only because it interfered with the profits of a large slave transport company.

England continued to ship tens of thousands of Irish slaves for more than a century. Records state that, after the 1798 Irish Rebellion, thousands of Irish slaves were sold to both America and Australia. There were horrible abuses of both African and Irish captives. One British ship even dumped 1,302 slaves into the Atlantic Ocean because the crew was low on food.

There is little question that the Irish experienced the horrors of slavery much more in the 17th Century than the Africans did. There is, also, very little question that those brown, tanned faces you witness in your travels to the West Indies are very likely a combination of African and Irish ancestry. In 1839, Britain finally decided on its own to end its participation in Satan’s highway to hell and stopped transporting slaves. While their decision did not stop pirates from doing what they desired, the new law slowly concluded this particular chapter of nightmarish Irish misery.

But, if anyone, black or white, believes that slavery was only an African experience, then they’ve got it completely wrong. Irish slavery is a subject worth remembering, researching and not erasing from our memories.

But, where are our public (and PRIVATE) schools???? Where are the history books? Why is it so seldom discussed?

Do the memories of hundreds of thousands of Irish victims merit more than a mention from an unknown writer? Or is their story to be one that their English pirates intended: To (unlike the African book) have the Irish story utterly and completely disappear as if it never happened.

None of the Irish victims ever made it back to their homeland to describe their ordeal. These are the lost slaves; the ones that time and biased history books conveniently forgot.
