I got this locally.
(CNSNews.com) – The number of Americans 16 years and older who did not participate in the labor force–meaning they neither had a job nor actively sought one in the last four weeks–rose from 92,898,000 in February to 93,175,000 in March, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
That is the first time the number of Americans out of the labor force has exceeded 93 million.
Also from February to March, the labor force participation rate dropped from 62.8 percent to 62.7 percent, matching a 37-year low.
Wow that’s a big miss!
US added 126K jobs in March, vs 245K expected; jobless rate stays at 5.5%
Equise…..that would be Macromans place……
However, he has graciously leased to me the outhouse that is located on, but not shown in, the same property listing. We sublease the downstairs of the outhouse to the rich Yankee goldbugs when they come flocking each summer. They did manage to include a picture of our tour yacht though. We keep it upside down to preserve its natural beauty for when the rich Yankee tourists come clambering for our all inclusive tours. About time I got the old girl seaworthy again and ready for another busy season. Never mind those charred trees in the background. Our all inclusive gourmet weenee roast got away from us one summer. No problem though. The outhouse was unharmed! All The Best…..Silverngold ;o)
@ Islandgold RE: Barkerville
Thanks a lot for taking the time to make your post on the Barkerville meeting last night. Thanks to your Dad too!
I have mixed emotions about Barkerville. Fear & excitement!
Fear that they might go under.
Excitement that they might be a BIG deal.
My 2 cents
Since becoming a shareholder, I would call IR on a fairly regular basis. My seat of the pants impression was that it was being run by good “salt of the earth people” – genuine, honest, believed in Barkerville, but perhaps unsophisticated as far as running a major gold mining operation.
One thing that kept my faith was Eric Sprott’s involvement. I could be wrong, but having followed Sprott for years, I have come to trust him. He has been successful, and he surrounds himself with professional, capable people. I particularly like Embry. I respect Rick Rule’s expertise, but like Casey find him irritating personally.
Just recently, I think there has been a shake up. It seems Sprott has installed his people and they are now running the show. I am starting to get excited. If I were smart, that alone should scare some sense into me.
One day I hope to drive up to Barkerville to check it out. Is it pretty country?
Doug Casey: Signs of a Resource Sector Bottom
I’m not a big fan of Doug Casey as a person. However, I still read what he has to say.

It was not possible for me to confirm whether the living quarters featured in this link belong to
either macroman or silverngold, but it is evident from the surrounding landscape that they certainly live in an attractive area. Now all they have to worry about is whether California’s drought is going to resurrect NAWAPA-type plans to bring northern-sourced water southwards through the Rocky Mountain Trench and also through the Okanagan valley enroute to the U.S. portion of the Columbia River basin and then onwards to a south-flowing diversion into California. Time will tell how this unfolds.
that’s some really good stuff commish
That is one screwed up person. From champion to straight up WEIRD! And to think people will actually watch this nutbag on reality TV. My in laws are addicted to reality TV. They really don’t want to do much in real life, but they’ll sit in front of the boob tube for hours and live through someone else’s reality for years. What’s wrong with people?
floridagold, R640
floridagold – probably hoping the SM will forget about it by Monday – and it probably will and so will gold. Last I checked the USD was taking a good hit.
R640 – good article. The left is a seriously angry bunch. Whites are self-hating in the US and Europe because they’ve been conditioned (by design) to forget their heritage and been forced to assimilate with other cultures rather than other cultures assimilating to theirs.
And so the psychopathology of Jews is writ large in America
And so the psychopathology of Jews is writ large in America. Thugs are celebrated, victims denounced. America is vilified, European-Americans are vilified. The “Other” — to use an indispensible bit of leftist jargon — is celebrated.
And like the abuser who represents himself as the victim, and is seconded in this misrepresentation by the actual, traumatized victim, so the practitioners and defenders of violent and aggressive behavior here and in the Middle East claim that they are the oppressed. Concessions are instantly forgotten and new demands issued. Racial preferences have been in place since 1965. Untold millions of European-Americans have been denied admission to colleges and universities and been rejected for jobs because of their skin color. In the Middle East, territory over three times the size of Israel has been given up merely for the promise of peace and an end to terrorism. Never in modern European history has contiguous territory conquered in war been returned to the defeated nation or empire without concessions elsewhere. But there has been no real peace; there has been no end to terrorism. And there has hardly been a flicker of gratitude for the concessions, any more than for Affirmative Action.
A couple of final thoughts.
1. I’ve used the term European-American throughout this article, except in the title. I don’t like hyphens any more than the next guy, but for defenders of people of no color, “White” has no future. Whites wanting representation on any campus in this country will have to present themselves under the aegis of their nationality. Even the student council at UC Irvine would be hard-pressed to turn down an application for an Italian-American Club, an Irish-American Society, or an Association of Polish-American Students. Ask for a “White” club and you’ll be charged with hate speech. In any case, “whiteness” was historically not part of any European identity. If surveyed, most Europeans for a millennium before 1800 would have identified themselves as Christians, and mentioned their family, their village, and their province, county, duchy, or principality.
2. The anti-Semitism of the left is ineradicable. It long predates Zionism, going back at least to Karl Marx, if not to Voltaire. The task of community organizers in the 19th and early 20th century was to get workers to say in public “capitalist” instead of “Jew.” And as long as Israel exists, left anti-Semitism will only become more vociferous and more audacious. Nationalism (in the West) is wicked, but nothing is as evil as Jewish nationalism. The solution for the left has always been for Jews to disappear, a bloodless (they hope) Final Solution.
Anti-Semitism on the right is growing too. It’s an update of the 19th century version. Jews are denounced precisely because they are not nationalists. Their first loyalty is not to their own country, but to Israel. According to the ADL, 31% of Americans and 41% of individuals worldwide believe this. Before 1947, a common accusation was also that the first loyalty of Jews was to their co-religionists abroad: the scourge of America was “the international Jew.”
There’s probably a still larger group in the U.S. that resents Jews less for their support of Israel than for their leftist politics, particularly their advocacy of open borders and amnesty — even when they understand the historical reasons for this support. Others, who are in no way anti-Semites, are puzzled about this, too. Hispanics, after all, do not like Jews any more than do African-Americans. According to the ADL, 30% of each group is anti-Semitic, versus 5% of non-Hispanic whites.
Mass immigration does not seem to be any more in the interest of Jews than is their support of Obama, disciple of Edward Said, pal of Rashid Khalidi, Ali Abunimah, Salam al-Marayati, Mohammed Elibiary, et. al.
It’s sometimes not appreciated even by those who are not anti-Semitic that Jewish opinion is not monolithic on any subject. Politics in Israel, as the recent election showed, is as rancorous as anywhere in the West. If in fact 69% of Jews in the U.S. supported Obama in 2012, as pollsters claim, that still means about one in three did not vote for the President. Though most families agree to disagree, every week there are shouting matches — or at least sarcastic exchanges — over lox and bagels at holiday gatherings, bar mitzvahs, weddings, and funerals.
Jews can do no more about neo-Nazi anti-Semitism than they can about that of Bill Ayers and his friends or about Muslim anti-Semitism. The good news is that Jews can do something about the low-grade antipathy on the right on the part of individuals who don’t know Stormfront from The Weather Channel. But to do so, they will have to fly in face of the good opinion of the bi-coastal bien pensants.
They will have to say:
Americans? My people.
European-Americans, AKA Whites? (We’re not on campus) My people. Afrikaners? My people.
And they will want to say as well, proudly, along with Evangelicals and the great majority of conservatives:
Israelis? My people.
the apotheosis of St. Trayvon and St. Michael.
Mychal Bell, with two previous convictions for battery, became a martyr. Of course he was still alive and had not retained the services of Ben Crump and Ryan Julison, so he did not achieve the apotheosis of St. Trayvon and St. Michael.
Ordinary European-Americans rallied to the causes of the Ferguson cop and the Sanford neighborhood watchman. (By the way, as far I know, it is perfectly legal to question someone in your neighborhood who you don’t know and who is acting suspiciously.) But these folks were not among the People Who Count, our bi-coastal betters.
George Zimmerman? Darren Wilson?
Not my people.
Both events received wall-to-wall coverage 24/7 for weeks. But it did not occur to any reporter in the Zimmerman case to phone the national HQ of 7-Eleven in Dallas and ask what the videotape of Trayvon Martin revealed. I know because I did. And the director of public relations expressed her surprise that I was the first reporter (OK, I lied) to contact her. And so American Thinker became the first news outlet to reveal that Martin had left the store between 6 and 6:30. The 7-Eleven is about a 15 minute walk from Brandy Green’s apartment, and so when spotted by Zimmerman, who called 911 at 7:09, St. Skittles [Trayvon] , an accomplished burglar, had probably been loitering around the apartment complex for 20 to 50 minutes.
If the media had no interest in what Martin had been up to before Zimmerman reported him, they had, and have, even less interest in letting you know why the “White-Hispanic” vigilante, along with Darren Wilson and the President’s grandma Madelyn Dunham, might have been a tad wary of a young black male acting suspiciously. According to a 30-year study of homicides by the Justice Department, spanning 1976 to 2005, African-Americans, currently 13.2% of the population, committed 52.2% of all murders. They were 7 times more likely to kill than whites. For the most recent year for which arrest records by race are available, 2012, blacks committed 49.4% of murders, 32.5% of rapes, 54.9% of robberies, 30.8% of burglaries, and comprised 43.8% of prostitution and “commercialized vice” arrests. Since the percentages don’t include crimes not reported or where a suspect was not apprehended, a lot of gang-related violence is unaccounted for. Victim surveys discredit the idea that the arrest records are skewed by police bias.
Self-Hating Whites
Let’s move from March 2015 and the removal of the American flag to April 1994 and the unfurling of a new national flag. This was the banner of the Republic of South Africa, which combined, unaesthetically, the black, green, and yellow of the flag of the terrorist African National Congress with the red, white, and blue of the former flag, and of the Dutch and British flags.
Two things were immediately predictable:
1. The hatred of the left would now be directed exclusively at Israel.
2. South Africa would eventually revert to the continent’s mean. The question was whether it would take one generation or two before it became another corrupt, violent, and repressive African state.
As for point one, as anyone who was a student in the late ‘60s through the ‘70s knows first-hand, the Left is all about anger. Chanting the chants at demonstrations, shouting obscenities at the police, saluting with the clenched fist — it was all hugely exhilarating. Arriving at Berkeley in 1972, I was gratified to discover it was still not too late to throw rocks at the cops. I’d transferred from Reed, where I had always worn to the barricades the best-selling t-shirt in the college’s bookstore: it featured the Reed seal, a griffin rampant, with “Communism, Atheism, Free Love” around the circumference. Apparently, there wasn’t enough room for “Drugs.” In the bad old days, anger was one of them, a stimulant and intoxicant at one and the same time.
In Ayers’s memoir Fugitive Days, writes Jack Cashill,
“…rage” rules. Ayers tells of how his “rage got started” and how it evolved into an “uncontrollable rage — a fierce frenzy of fire and lava.” In fact, both Ayers and Obama speak of rage the way Eskimos do of snow — in so many varieties, so often, that they feel the need to qualify it, as Obama does when he speaks of “impressive rage,” “suppressed rage,” or “coil of rage.”
Like the fury of the abusive husband, the rage of the left moves from target to target. And so with the demise of white rule in South Africa, Israel inevitably became “the apartheid state.”
As for the second assumption, economically, Johannesburg is not yet Detroit. This is hardly surprising: South Africa’s gold, platinum, and diamond mines are the largest in the world. The country owns about half of the world’s gold reserves, and De Beers sells at least 60% of the world’s diamonds. South Africa has a GDP of nearly $600 billion, according to government numbers. But the unemployment rate hovers around 25%, in reality probably closer to 40%, and strikes are frequent and violent. And while undoubtedly more blacks are better off economically since 1994, income distribution is more badly skewed than under the old Afrikaner government.

notice how even they say groups like ISIS are trouble makers. Ha more than that they are attacking their own taking guns like martial law then after that people’s things killed kids one for stealing food because he was starving taking girls as young as 9 out of schools for concubines and people leaving homes to try to get away from the thugs.

We at this point probably need someone with military knowledge that doesn’t give a rats ask about being politically correct but constitutionally correct. Scott Walker just came out said he would undo Iran deal I’m sure so would Cruz but question is where are these senators when all this is going on. Why has the congress just let Obama do anything he wants? I’m not attacking either of them at least their speaking out I’m talking collectively.
The Republicans need to take a few lessons from Harry Reids book
DONT let the Attorney General decision come up for a VOTE ..THe Reps will lose some important decisions that are close .
Whats good for the Goose is good for the Gander ..NO VOTE on AG,and NO VOTE on Menendez he will be inclined to be grateful with a few VOTES ..
The Republicans need to play Hardball or they will get the voters wrath.Make a deal with Menendez for his votes you dummies..
Liberal Democrats gave us our first Black President..Bill Clinton
then he raised the culture of Pimping and Whoring to new heights even into the White House .Not bad for some Po Wite Trash from Arkansas ,they made it so respectable ..They even out did the Blacks .Now with that high Standard set Oblabla has a tough hurdle to overcome he already the product of wite and Muslim Communists dosent want to compete with White whorein & Pimpin of the Clintons thats too much even for him.So he decided to take on the Crown of Worst President with lies & Deceit Communist style with a touch of Muslim two Faced diplomacy thrown in trying to regain the Crown.The next President needs some simple qualifications …
1, He has to be able to take out the TRASH .
2.He needs to able to do some heavy liftin….
3. Get the White House Fumigated
Now that’ll get him a wrung on the ladder above the Communist Blacks & po White Trash …..It’ll be a good start.
