a night-flowering Cereus for many years.  When we moved from one home, Mrs. Equiz gave the plant to a restaurant for display in their reception area.  Then she easily started a new Cereus from a side shoot that took root very quickly.  Several evenings over the years we had neighbors in to see and smell the evening show.  The best performance was one evening when we had eleven blossoms opening within an hour of each other.  On that evening the floral aroma was almost too much, but a botanical wonder nonetheless.    Cheers.   Equiz

LOL Not you or I but our government. “We” is not the right word. 🙂

Whom do you mean by “we?”

We may have helped create them but that doesn’t mean we won’t end up fighting them. JMO

Cheers

New Poll at bottom of sidebar … add your two cents, or three or one. 🙂

None of the selections are apropos to the subject due to the fact that the gov’t (CIA?) created isis.  So I did not vote.

Anyone here concerned about the ramifications of passage of the $hit?

Can’t fight ISIS because ” ISIS r US.” ( ie. our gooberment who backs it).  JMHO!

Our Politicians disgust me anew nearly every day.

Gotta go bbl

Poking the bear. Insanely stupid who want to see America fall or don’t care and are so stupid they underestimate Russia. Everything they’ve done has been a failure and all the current plays be flags or gay marriage is just to distract the sheep from their treasonous acts against this country. Get on flag Cuz it’s racist in same light can use it for their fast track of letting illegals in to undermine US companies and wages and if you complain your racist. So do they care what happens, I doubt it.

Don’t push a bad position!

by Bill Holter

“Don’t push a bad position”! This is good advice in many varied quests. It is good advice in games like chess or poker. Good advice in sports, business, politics, geopolitics and certainly in militarily ventures. Today we will look at two separate issues where “bad positions” are being pushed to the wall!

First, we have an insane situation brewing in COMEX silver. The open interest finally exceeded 200,000 contracts (1 billion ounces). I believe the only other time this much open interest existed was back in 1980 or ’81. This makes no sense whatsoever, the price is again plumbing 4 year lows yet open interest has moved to record highs? The fact open interest has expanded while price has declined is proof positive the “initiation” of this expanded open interest has been by “shorts” but absorbed by “someone” on the other side of the trade. Total global production of silver is only 800 million ounces or thereabouts so COMEX shorts have contracted to deliver 25% more silver than will even be produced globally over the next 12 months. Silver available for COMEX delivery only totals 57 million ounces so they sit on a naked short time bomb of more than 950 million ounces!

If we look at the July silver contract, there are 55,000 contracts still open with only 4 days remaining before first notice day. This is 275 million ounces still open with only 57 million ounces available to deliver. This is truly fraudulent sales of metal because the metal does not exist to deliver. Yes I know, the apologists will say “this always happens and the shorts will decline into first notice day and evaporate throughout the delivery month”. I agree, this “has” always happened in the past but something is changing now. In the past, total open interest always dropped going into FND, now it is not. Not only are all July contracts closed out being rolled into September, the total is rising rather than declining sharply.

“Blood On The Streets” – Bonds Battered, Stocks Slammed As Greece Suddenly “Matters”

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-06-26/blood-streets-bonds-battered-stocks-slammed-greece-suddenly-matters

For a while there the Russians were dropping concrete from helicopters over the Ukraine reactor. They lost a lot of people dealing with the meltdown. Compare their response to that of the Japanese. Just my impression but the Japanese seem to have done little to heal this festering, leaking sore.

Thank you for your replies. It is my understanding that the Russians had closed off further radiation leakage.

“Why are we poking the bear?”

The only answer I can come up with is that certain members of our leadership are certifiably insane. Who else would seek to play nuclear Russian Roulette? Pretty scary thought!

That would make my day! 🙂

Alex – I just am not sure we have the leaders in the states that have the courage to pursue secession, certainly not here in Idaho. IMO, it will take one of the southern states like Texas or Oklahoma. If they do, they will have my support 100% with whatever I can give.

Ipso – I’d like to see that too, although that is not the Neocon way. I’d really rather have Putin call Obozo to tell him that Russia and China would be backing their currencies with gold on Monday, and that he better ready for some bank shutdowns. 🙂

I like to see us talking with the Russians.

I’d like us to say: “We’ve decided to change our policy from hostility to one of mutual cooperation and respect. We are going to stop trying to surround you with military bases and we’re going to withdraw most of our forces from Europe.”

The Russians are not looking to invade Europe and the Europeans should look to themselves for their own defense anyway.

Did we ban the Queeran — or prayer mats — after Hasan shot up a military facility?

The rulings passed down by the SCOTUS in the past two days will apply to all states which choose not to secede . Are we headed to the second Civil War in America ? Perhaps . Yesterday’s decision/politically motivated redefinition of the ACA is not supported by the Constitution as I understand it .

Greece Rejects Bailout Extension, Tsipras Says “Won’t Be Blackmailed”

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/26/2015 – 09:47

Update: GREECE SAID TO REJECT EU15.5B BAILOUT EXTENSION PROPOSAL: ANA 

“[I will defend] democracy, solidarity, equality, mutual respect. These principles were not based on blackmails and ultimatum, and especially in these crucial times no one has the right to put in danger these principles. The Greek government will continue decisively to give the fight in favor of these principles, to continue to give the fight on behalf of the European people and of course on behalf of the Greek people.”
