    A FWIW…for 2 weeks I’ve noticed a notable drop off in email from 2 different accounts. In addition, after Firefox/Windoze updates, many sites are now blocked…e.g. http://news.goldseek.com/GoldenJackass/1561955003.php
    If anyone else is having issues, please post. TIA.

    • You have to access Jim Willie’s newsletter via Chromium… it is working for me.

    • Yes, with Firefox updates I have been unable to access some secure accounts, which I can access via Safari. (I refuse to upgrade to latest Mac OS, so be it!)

      • Do you use a bunch of security add-ons? I do, but it still acting weird. I think you narrowed it down to FF for me.
        I wouldn’t upgrade Mac OS either. Just had my 4th GPU go bad on 3 macs with another hanging in the balance. Crummy lead free solder. Well, guess what? Upgrades messed w/the fan/temp control, Mac HD’s (proprietary) used 7 pins not the usual 4. An inline thermal ($50) connector is needed for any HD change which was done in the process of sectionalization. Of course 7 trips to the idiot non-savant bar to trouble shoot a known issue/class action suit, never notified, nor resolved.
        I did find a site to monitor the temp via software due to the hardware solder fails among a plethora of nefarious biz practices.
        I’m through w/crapple, even though I prefer their OS.

        • No, just malware protection. I’ve had to spend hours in store and by phone with Apple techs to work out issues, a big one being their own security and a certain certificate. It’s tiresome and frustrating and don’t see it getting any better so I try to keep it simple. Sticking with Apple though (since ’91 and MacPlus!). Good luck with yours!

    • Slightly off topic, but as a Dr. Jim Willie fan, I also subscribe to The Gadfly. He posts on there regularly and replies directly to members, via the forum.

      • Haven’t heard of it. TY.
        Always like new sources. 😉

        • It’s a pretty good source. The “community” is nowhere near as active, or dare I say it, informed as Giza. I’ve never come across another source where the community was even in the same realm as GDS. If you know of any, let me know.

          The Gadfly, has four regular commentators:
          Jim Willie (no introduction needed)
          London Paul, who is a wonderful geopolitical commentator, I’ve always wanted to see him and CAF do an interview.
          Ken Schortgen, who runs Shotgun Economics, and is a great market analyst.
