Widespread reports continue to pour in from all over the nation of “glitches” with the food stamp system. It is nine days into the month and large numbers of people still have not received their benefits, and in other instances it is being reported that EBT cards are simply not working correctly.
What in the world is going on here?

Royal Mint opens gold vault to British pension investors

The UK’s Royal Mint has decided to let pension investors buy gold bars to hold in tax-efficient self-invested personal pension (SIPP) schemes beginning today.

UK citizens are also offered a choice of bullion, from Royal Mint Refinery 100g and 1kg bars, to Signature Gold — a service that allows customers to purchase and own a share of a 400 ounces gold bar.

These bars will be stored in the Royal Mint’s vault, with prices fluctuating according to the live gold price. They’ll re subject to a one per cent (plus VAT) storage charge.

The most expensive one is available at £28,286 ($41,131) and weighs 1kg.

Investors will not be able to opt for less expensive Royal Mint bullion coins to hold in their pensions because the products have not been authorized by HM Revenue & Customs (HRMC).

The move follows a 2014 decision by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to add gold bullion to its list of “standard assets”.

For HRMC to recognize the gold, it must be a minimum of 99.5% pure. The Royal Mint’s gold bullion exceeds this, at a purity of 999.9%.

Royal Mint opens gold vault to British pension investors

LONDON – At Sharps Pixley, a gold showroom in London’s smart Mayfair district, demand for bullion bars and coins is rising, with men and women of all ages buying up the safe-haven metal in case of a British exit from the European Union. Shoppers can walk out of the sleek St James’s Street showroom carrying their gold investments, or leave them in the rows of safety deposit boxes that line the walls.

Sales have picked up since the latest polls suggested that the ‘leave’ campaign is gaining support, with online polls by ICM and YouGov showing at the weekend it had taken a 4 to 5 percentage point lead ahead of the June 23 referendum. “It seems to have sunk into people’s consciousness that Brexit is a real possibility now. All stocks are being bought out in advance of even being shipped,” Ross Norman, chief executive of Sharps Pixley said, noting that demand for Britannia coins, which as legal currency are exempt from capital gains tax, had been particularly strong. “We had a preconception of who the typical gold buyer was, which is male, mature and over 45. The mix of people coming through has completely rebuffed that idea — they’re often much younger, often female.”

Give us what we want or we destroy wealth and beauty is their MOTTO ..same as Democrats have always had along with UNIONS …..Trump is a builder of wealth and BEAUTY what have they ever built ? They are destroyers of wealth and Beauty !That is their essence ..thats who they are !They are out to destroy what Trump has built because he makes them LOOK BAD by comparison .They build NOTHING !
Corporations have built better products UNIONS say gimmie some or I tear yours down …They have a communist mentality ..give us an equal share of the wealth or we destroy everything …blackmail…thugs criminals..thats what they are !Why dont they try to build something like Trump has done and then they will earn equality …EQUALITY ….thats something you earn ,not gained by theft and destruction. TRY building something instead of being a thief..

For gold and silver investors, the primary Fed scenarios appear clear:

1. Best but least likely – Fed tightening continues behind a global inflationary expansion

2. Worst – Back to 2015, Fed tightening, strong stock market and strong US dollar

3. High potential – Fed tightening is done, stock market declines, US dollar declines

According to the clearly defined trend lower in US Treasury bond yields and the declining US dollar in 2016, scenario 3 appears already in place. The key missing link has been the strong stock market.  Scenarios often do not work out as planned, but as we approach a contentious election, if volatility in the US stock market picks up similar to January-February, gold and silver should receive the green-go to resume the rally. The indication from increasing gold and silver prices is they appear to have already voted. “

One of the things this Election is bringing out as people speak out against Trump is whose hand is up their ass, whose hand they feed from. Ron Insane the latest to confirm his soul belongs to the Elite Masters of the Universe. I expect to see many more like him revealed in the months to come.

Funny, TPTB simply cant stand a man like Trump who is beholding to none. That must really irritate the hell out of em. GO TRUMP !!

First-time weekly jobless claims in the U.S. fell by 4,000 to a seasonally adjusted 264,000 during the week to Saturday, the Labor Department said Thursday.

Consensus expectations compiled by various news organizations called for initial claims to be slightly higher, around 269,000. The government revised prior week’s tally by 1,000 to 268,000.

The level of weekly jobless claims continues to expand its record low levels. The Labor Department said last week was the 66th consecutive with initial claims below 300,000, the longest streak since 1973. There were no special factors impacting this week’s initial claims, officials added.

Meanwhile, the four-week moving average for new claims – often viewed as a more reliable measure of the labor market since it smoothens out week-to-week volatility – was down by 7,500 claims to 269,500.”

Dennis Gartman: Buy gold in euro terms

”

Closely followed commodities investor Dennis Gartman is advising investors to buy gold in currencies that are most likely to weaken.

In the near term that’s the euro, which The Gartman Letter founder and publisher believes can “easily” fall to parity with the U.S. dollar.

“I think you can get both sides. I think you can get gold in dollar terms rising, and I think you get the euro falling, so gold in euro terms gets very strong,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Thursday.

Gold is often held as a hedge against inflation, though some investors question its effectiveness as protection against rising prices. Gold prices are up about 6.6 percent this year.

The euro has appreciated 4.6 percent against the greenback year to date, but Gartman said he sees trouble for Europe.

Gartman made his comments after European Central Bank PresidentMario Draghi warned that the euro zone is at risk of suffering lasting economic damage in the face of weak output and productivity. Monetary policy alone cannot generate growth, he told an economic forum.

“Draghi’s comments this morning I thought were very, very serious,” Gartman said, noting the euro weakened after the speech. “He’s made it abundantly clear that there is not much more that they can do.”

In Gartman’s view, the only option left for European monetary policymakers is helicopter money — a distribution of cash to consumers, such as through direct transfers or tax cuts.”

Comment: Pretty sure gold and silver will be the place to be in the coming next couple years as the Great Fiat Experiment begins it’s demise. Even Gartman seems to have figured it out. 🙂

Please share to enlighten the people who cling to words or phrases mentioned by Mr. Trump, which are then taken out of context by corrupt Big Media, ignoring the big picture of what Trump actually means. Let it be known that:
“Judge Gonzalo Curiel is associated with La Raza Lawyer association, the Hispanic National Bar Association, the Latino Judges Association, and the National Hispanic Prosecutors Association.
The Hispanic National Bar Association policy release:
“The HNBA calls for a boycott of all of Trump business ventures, including golf courses, hotels, and restaurants. We salute NBC/Universal, Univision, and Macy’s for ending their association with Trump, and we join them in standing up against bigotry and racist rhetoric. Other businesses and corporations should follow the lead of NBC/Universal, and Macy’s and take similar actions against Donald Trump’s business interests. We can and will make a difference.”
It was signed by Cynthia D. Mares, HNBA National President
The attorney group leading the lawsuit against Trump are heavily involved in Democrat politics and have paid Bill and Hillary Clinton $675,000 for “speeches”.
The Judge in the lawsuit is an open borders immigration activist with direct ties to San Diego La Raza, and has openly engaged with them on their political endeavors. and including scholarships for illegal aliens.
The Trump lawsuit relies (in part) on testimony from a former disgruntled employee of the Trump Organization who went to work for notorious ‪#‎NeverTrump‬ activist Glenn Beck.
The Judge then “accidentally” releases court records which provides the media with the names, locations, and contact information of the plaintiffs and witnesses in the case, which fuels the media narrative.
After the “mistaken” release, Judge Curiel reseals the court records.
”
The Judge is a member of an ethnic legal group, HNBA, whose specific and publicly expressed intentions are to target Donald Trump’s business interests.”

CALIf voted one of the most hostile places to do business. Companies leaving. Even a fast food chain moved its corporate out and said they won’t be putting up anymore here.  The system infiltrated with anti constitutional shifty for profit idiots who have learned nothing. Border patrol overwhelmed and the Demo system here working against them. Not just South Americans but Mid East and even caught 700 Chinese trying to get in I just saw today. Then they have to release them under Obama with a promise to come back but they don’t. Then they go get a drivers license thanks to Brown. I remember when living in southern Ca the IRS sent me a letter saying I didn’t report my daughters income. I answered what income shes four years old!!!  and she doesn’t go by that ” a Hispanic ” name. Now brown signed a bill schools can give vaccines to kids without parent permission if they can sign the paper. So if they have a reaction they won’t know why. Then mandatory vaccines, now no medical exemptions so if they almost killed or harmed  your kid a doctor no less wants to give them anyways. Think someone needs to go to the medical board. Actually thinking worse than that but can’t put it in writing. It’s gonna wind up like NY begging people to come back at some point but are gonna get a middle finger. Brown said if Trump gets elected he’s gonna build a wall around Calif. Maybe he should, then the border states can put up border patrol around it and do the rest of America a favor.

He appeared to insinuate the market would crash saying everything would go down but before the date he changed. Said its the end of public money ie bonds pensions ect not equities or even gold.

Personally Im not sure if gold will continue up too much more from here. It will have to break through resistance or could get pushed back down for awhile.  The way the world is falling apart though it’s sure not in a bear market. The Brits appeared to do better before they joined the EU but not that informed with their economy. If they stay they will go down with Europe. Think there’s fear mongering going on but I look at it this way. If you don’t fight for soverignty you lost it anyways. Might as well retreat and surrender to a bunch of idiots destroying their countries. Does that mean their smarter than them or are the Brits gonna be smarter. Hard to believe these are the same people who fought like hell in WW11. The vets would be rolling in there graves seeing this mess.

Anyways we just need to watch not form ideas that may not turn out how we think.

Now some nut wants to stop medical exemptions for vaccines. Wonder how much they’re paying her or just plain insane. Welcome to the liberal progressive disorder syndrome.  They also want to approve shock treatment to children. One Flew over the Koo Koo Nest in real time.

Didn’t he say the stockmarket would crash in sept 2015. Beware those who continually change their forecasts, because a few years down the line, they can always cherrypick their forecasts and brag about it.

McClellan compared major U.S. indexes and polls fromRealClearPolitics, and found that the two move in lockstep. He started comparing them in the 2000 election, and found that numbers become accurate when daily polling begins closer to November.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Tuesday night. McClellan pointed to the corresponding Dow Jones industrial average, which has moved higher in the past two weeks as Clinton gained ground.

“If the market moves up, that tends to benefit the incumbent in the last elections,” McClellan said, adding that Clinton, the way the model works, is being viewed by the market as the incumbent.”

Comment: Im sure the action in the market is just a fluke and has nothing to do with the Fed being told to prop it up. OK, Im pretty sure. Well, mostly so anyways. Sorta.
