Sm sells off and Au goes bid, takeing out 1150, then magically all is reversed.

Also a major side effect of all this intervention/rigging, is that mkts no longer reflect the idiocies of the likes of Obummer and Cameroon etc. Normal mkts would have trashed them ages ago.

Not only that but people including a mother who’s daughter was shot said her daughter should of been armed.
Seems likely he instigated it with his constant attack on christians while promoting terrorists as peaceful. It was racism and the southern flag that killed the Black christians propaganda. On the Oregon’s killer site there were comments saying remember that and him saying how he needs to prepare. Funny a German no borders activist was gang raped by African Muslins at a refugee camp and that’s the thanks for her helping him. It seemed to fail waking these brain dead activists up as they asked her not to report it. She also may not realize the diseases they could bring including AIDS.
Without borders there is no country, communities, farmland could be attacked and hospitals will be swamped will illegals like LA the economy will be destroyed then they’ll just move on to the next town like marauders.
He’s going to come step on their graves and has his little propaganda speech ready.
I hope they disrupt it but bet security will threaten to arrest them. He called gun owners worse than terrorists. He’s lost touch with reality bent on taking guns.
This game IMO appears to be that of the psychology of doom. To destroy the community and survival which is a mindset and trying to criminalize it while calling extremist and obvious thug freeloaders invading countries peaceful.
They’re about as peaceful as the peace prize they gave Ozilla, they should take back.

It is absolutely imperative to remember regardless of what happens next, almost every element of this crisis has been staged. War and economic despair are the ultimate expedient world-changing tools. They wipe the slate nearly clean, as it were, and mold public perception through fear. That which you thought impossible today becomes rather reasonable tomorrow after crisis takes hold; and this includes the final deconstruction of constitutional values, the militarization of our society, the loss of financial prosperity, the extreme degradation of living standards and the ultimate centralization of everything.

More power to the protesters!

In the last two days, there has been support from literally all over the world for the rally in Roseburg, OR tomorrow, where patriots will tell President Obama that his presence and his anti-liberty gun-grabbing agenda is not welcome there. People have posted support from Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and even Germany, where one commenter said “It happened here…it can never happen again.”

With any action, however, there are those who disagree, some vehemently. Even a few residents of Roseburg itself have voiced opinions that a rally is not wanted, saying they should be left alone to grieve in peace. If Obama wants to visit, they say, so what?

Here’s some truth that might sound cold and unfeeling, even though it’s not. I personally grieve for the families of Roseburg. I have lost loved ones. I know what that loss feels like, and it never goes away. My heart and my prayers go out to them. But the truth is, it’s about far, far more than the families of Roseburg. It’s about an agenda that seeks the disarmament of its citizens so that it may have complete power and control. It’s about a government that will use any tragedy, any cowardly act, any ruse possible, to con the American people into giving up the last possible defense they have against slavery. It’s about a President who is literally using the people affected by this tragedy to bolster his push to disarm them. The tragedy of the shooting, and the deaths of those innocent souls, affect the people of Roseburg in ways we cannot fathom and do not dare to speak to. But the ripple effect of Obama’s visit, and the use of those innocents as currency, affects every single American. In fact, it will affect every single American who ever comes after us.

Think about that a moment. Many of the people in Roseburg—even the families of the victims—are gun owners. They are not anti-gun or anti-liberty. Yet Obama is going to visit them, whether they want him there or not, and use the deaths of their own people to push for a gun control agenda that will disarm the very same families affected by this. It will disarm the American citizenry at large, if he has his way. Once that happens, there is no coming back from it. Not without an amount of bloodshed that is unfathomable. Not without a fight that none of us truly wants to see happen.

Obama is coming to Roseburg, at great expense to the taxpayers, even though he’s been told not to come. The townspeople have made it clear he is not welcome but the city government continues to claim that they do support his visit. That is a clear-cut example of elected officials not following the will of the people they serve.

There is some debate about whether the organizers of the event have the right to be a part of it at all, since some of them are from WA state. But I ask this: Do we not have the right as Americans to stand up against tyranny? Make no mistake, this is tyranny disguised as support, a steel fist inside a velvet glove. We support the families’ need to grieve. We also understand that it is about so much more than that for the rest of the country.

This has happened before. A shooting, an Obama call for gun control, a visit to the location, with fanfare and photographers on hand to capture every solemn look and crocodile tear from the President. In each case, those who stood up were told to sit down, to be quiet, to “respect the families.” It’s only a matter of time before another incident, another call for gun control, another visit and another thwarted attempt to stand up because it’s seen as somehow disrespectful to do so.

I posit that it is the ultimate in respect to refuse to let those deaths be in vain, to let their names fade into the tapestry of victims used like pawns in the long game of liberty’s assassination.

No more. Roseburg is not just about senseless deaths at the hands of a loser coward. It is not about handwringing and telling patriots to sit down and shut up and “respect the families.” We do respect the families. We respect them enough to not let their loved ones die for nothing, and we respect them enough to do what it necessary to ensure that the right of their children and ours to defend themselves is not taken away. Most importantly, we respect liberty. We respect freedom, and the right of the people to refuse slavery.

We must stand at the Roseburg rally tomorrow. Not because we want attention. Not because we are “intruding” or “invading” a small town that never asked to be part of any of it. We must stand because if we don’t stand now, if we don’t stand every single time that this happens, we become part of the problem. Liberty cannot be quieted. It must be stood for, loudly, openly, at any cost.

We stand for Roseburg. But we also stand for ourselves and our children. Tomorrow is not just about Roseburg. It’s about liberty.

PT Freeport Indonesia and the Government of Indonesia Agree on Continuation of Operations of the Grasberg Mining Complex beyond 2021

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/pt-freeport-indonesia-government-indonesia-115400093.html

Let’s start with the two largest and most-important forms of this gambling (and fraud): “interest rate swaps” and “credit default swaps”. What is an interest rate swap? This is a bet between a banker (i.e. the people who control interest rates) and a Chump, on which direction an interest rate will move.

Can anyone see a problem with this form of gambling/fraud? Correct. If you place bets on the direction of interest rates against the criminals who control those interest rates, you’re probably going to lose on those bets, almost all of the time. Is this what we saw in the interest rate swap “market”?

There has been talk of shortages in silver for 20 plus years. Primary silver mines are a piss hole in a sand trap of supply. Silver is a byproduct of large mining operations that provide the bulk of supply and they could care less about the price. Until the big boys in the mining sector start to shut down operations because of low metal prices across the board there will be no shortages. We have all been fed a bunch of bull for years about shortages. Investment demand has gone up significantly over the years and it is nothing more than a pimple on the back of an elephant as supply has always been more than adequate to meet demand. It always appears magically.

Agree.

They can smash at will. Lots of potholes today. Jobless claims fell irrespective of all the announced layoffs.

Then there’s the FOMC minutes in a few hours…

Expect 5% down in silver. Anything less would be a surprise.

Worrying about a Crimex default is a fools errand in a world that has NO rules…one needs to look no further than tdys action in Silver, smashed overnight for no reason…yes the SM was weak, but when it recovered, Ag was clubbed back on any rally…

Then we see another 20 plus cents taken off, in the quietest period, just before Crimex opens. When only either a cretin trades vol, due to low liquidity, or a crook looking to maximise the hit.

Good article. I suspect 100% true

Thanks to all the well wishers a few days back.

O/N the SM was well down, over 100 pts at one point and Ag was hit as well…but as the SM recovered, Ag was never allowed any uptick.

Usually I just focus on what’s in front of me, can’t really worry too much about politicians. Do I believe in any type of bomb lobbing? No way! Do I like Obama? No way, he’s a dangerous post turtle. Do I like Putin? Not any more than Obomber, probably less. Do I support anyone’s actions in DC? No way. What can I say, cept over here in the US we’ve been hijacked. I think shit will sink to the bottom. I have no faith in merica righting itself (oh and when we sink, we’re taking the world economy with us BTW). I saw that article and it perked my interest. It’s from a local publication in Boulder, CO. Lots of crazy talk up there. At least Putin is a legal citizen. He may be agnostic but that sure beats the hell out of whatever  Oblabla is.

Meanwhile since Obama made his deals with Iran Jewish civilans are being attacked.

Nobel Peace Prize Committee’s chairman, Thorbjoern Jagland, has been demoted to a mere ‘member’ of the committee for awarding Barack Obama the Peace Prize in 2009 for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

This is the first time a chairman has been removed from his position in the award’s 114-year history.

In the years following this premature ‘gift’, the world would witness our President engage in a great many actions contrary to the nature of his prize; everything from putting the world at grave risk by restarting the cold war, to killing thousands of civilians with drones, to engaging our troops in multiple hostile actions across the globe, it´’s only fitting that Jagland be demoted.

One Russian lawmaker has even asked the committee to strip Obama of his Peace Prize, that would seem to be an appropriate follow-up action.

At the time the White House, and the fawning media, was delighted by this crowning, if premature, achievement of the progressive president.

Which is why don’t expect much coverage of the inevitable aftermath: earlier today, in what France24 dubbed an “in an unprecedented move“, the controversial head of Norway’s Nobel Peace Prize committee was removed Tuesday and demoted to the rank of mere member.

Thorbjoern Jagland, a former Norwegian premier, drew criticism after becoming committee chairman in 2009 for awarding the prestigious Nobel to newly elected US President Barack Obama. He will be replaced by current Deputy Chair Kaci Kullmann Five.

More from AP:

The Nobel Peace Prize awarding Norwegian Nobel Committee on Tuesday elected a new chairman to replace Thorbjoern Jagland, whose six-year tenure has been lined with controversies.

Jagland will remain a member of the voting panel but was a contentious leader, attracting criticism for his dual role as committee chairman and head of the European Council when the prize was awarded to the European Union in 2012. His leadership also was clouded by the decision to give the prize to Barack Obama in 2009 after he had just been elected president, and the 2010 prize to the jailed dissident Liu Xiabo drew fury from China.

The former labor politician was replaced by the panel’s deputy chairman, Kaci Kullmann Five, a former conservative party leader. She denied that Jagland’s ousting had anything to do with pressure from China, which froze diplomatic ties to Norway after the 2010 award.

She did not deny that his ousting had anything to do with Obama who has since the aware become a neo-con warhawk, who has put some of the most bloodthirsty republicans to shame, and whose actions (and lack thereof) have led to not only global conflict intensity spiking To a 7-year high, but have generated untold riches to the shareholders of the military industrial complex.

are both losers. All these people are> I’d still pay to see them both get in a boxing ring, you know our clown president would get his azz kicked

Obama, Putin and pigeon chess

It is not true — as some conservative websites have recently claimed — that Vladimir Putin once remarked that “negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon knocks over all the pieces, shits on the board and then struts around like it won the game.”

That particular wisecrack is attributed to one Scott D. Weitzenhoffer, who made it in 2005, not about negotiating with Obama, but about debating evolution with Christian creationists. Like a lot of topical humor, it’s been updated.

Little matter. The important point is that the joke succinctly conveys the profound contempt with which Putin demonstrably regards Obama.

And why shouldn’t Putin be contemptuous of him? Obama has worked hard for the last five years to earn his contempt. American foreign policy under Obama has run the gamut from insouciant bumbling to cavalier bumbling to feckless bumbling. Putin saw his opportunities and — once he got through rubbing his eyes in disbelief — took them.

Thus Russia’s invasion of Georgia in 2010, its re-arming of Assad in Syria last year, its ongoing role as enabler of the Iranian and North Korean nuclear weapons programs — and its recent seizure of the Crimea.

However, the question isn’t what should Obama have done in the past, but what should he be doing now.

So far, the response of the administration and its main European allies to Russia’s seizure of the Crimea and massing of troops on the Ukrainian border has been ludicrously flaccid.

Sharply worded condemnations have been issued. Ambassadors have been recalled for consultations.

Secretary of State John Kerry has rushed off to Kiev on a hand-holding (and loan-guaranteeing) mission.

The seven major industrial countries that along with Russia make up the G8 (the U.S., Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan) have all announced that they have suspended preparations for upcoming G8 summit meeting scheduled to be held in Sochi in June. The U.S. and Britain have gone so far as to announce that none of its cabinet ministers will attend the Paralympics, which are due to start in Sochi this Friday.

Obama and other Western leaders are threatening to impose economic sanctions on Russia.

All the responses except the last one are empty symbolism. The last, threatening Russia with economic sanctions, is delusional.

If the West attempts to impose economic sanctions on Russia, Putin will cut off natural gas shipments to Western Europe. Economically, Putin can hit Europe a lot harder than Europe can hit Putin.

In short, the response of the Western democracies has been not much different than their response to the Nazis’ remilitarization of the Rhineland (on March 7, 1936, 78 years ago), their response to the Austrian Anschluss (annexation) by Germany (on March 12, 1938), and their response to the Czechoslovakian crisis the following fall, which resulted in the Munich Agreement: huffing, puffing, posturing and preening. Putin probably expected as much.

So, to borrow a phrase from Lenin, what’s to be done?

At least four things. First, Obama should immediately announce he is cancelling the cuts to the U.S. military that he was due to announce this week and tell Congress that in view of the changing international climate — as evidenced by Putin’s Crimea invasion, he will be announcing plans to expand it instead — starting with a resurrection of plans to base antimissile defenses in Eastern Europe.

Second, Obama should fast-track the construction of liquefied national gas (LNG) export terminals (several are currently under review) and immediately approve the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. These steps will, respectively, make it possible for Western Europe to reduce its dependence on Russian oil and natural gas and put downward pressure on the global price of both crude oil and natural gas. Since Russia’s post-Soviet economic revival has been largely sustained by oil and gas exports, this will serve to undermine the economic model — petro-tyranny — that has enabled Putin’s bad behavior. This would be much more damaging than sanctions, and much easier to impose.

Third, Obama should ship sufficient arms to non-Islamist Syrian rebels to counter the aid Putin has been giving to Assad.

Finally, there is the matter of the Budapest Memorandum.

Unlike 10 former Soviet Republics and Warsaw Pact members, Ukraine is not part of NATO.

But in 1994, Ukraine entered into an agreement with the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China called the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances — under which the five nuclear powers agreed to guarantee Ukraine’s territorial integrity and political independence in return for which Ukraine agreed to give up the nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles that it inherited when the Soviet Union collapsed and to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. At the time, Ukraine had the third-largest nuclear arsenal in the world. Today it has no nuclear weapons.

The most substantive thing the United States could do in the present crisis is to announce it will honor the Budapest memorandum — which Russia has violated, of course.

Since Obama has little or no stomach for military action, the U.S. should, at a minimum, start a major arms lift to Ukraine, so that it could mount a serious defense of its territory if Putin chooses to invade the eastern part of the country.

Then there’s the nuclear option.

Ukraine gave up its nukes in exchange for an American guarantee of its territorial integrity. If Obama isn’t prepared to honor that guarantee with boots on the ground, he should do the honorable thing and replace Ukraine’s nukes with a gift of some of ours. A couple hundred Tomahawk Cruise Missiles fitted with nuclear bombs should be sufficient.

If that be pigeon chess, make the most of it.
