EPA Closure of Last Lead Smelting Plant to Impact Ammunition Production

It took all this time for it to finally come out to the media. That includes open borders that went ignored by politicians for decades. Now we have MS13 Gangs threatening Hispanic Trump voters. They’re too stupid to even know there proving him and those who lived it right about criminals.

Even during the early 70s after the earthquake in Sylmar Coldwel banker got rich taking advantage of people. Where were the whistle blowers then?

I’m going to be a bit absent for a few days.  I’ve got a computer that is intensely ‘busied out’ downloading 80+ GB of Bitcoin blockchain and processing it.  It’s on it’s fourth day, and looks to be approaching halfway point.  This is a drawback of starting up a new bitcoin wallet & processing node.  All the prior history needs to be downloaded and processed.   I’ve also slowed things down by installing it all on a removable thumb drive with a relatively slow access speed.  It would be faster on a high speed hard drive.  But for six grand I’ll wait…

For those who look at weather, tropical storm DARBY has impacted the Big Island and is now swirling NW up the island chain spewing water and wind in Honolulu, where I am now.  No word on how the ranch house fared, but the neighbors have not called to tell me it’s demolished… so I’m optimistic.   It should handle the water OK… not a flood zone.

So if you don’t hear from me for a week or more….  I’m treading water, waiting on Bitcoin blockchains.

liqueified natural gas (LNG)  proposals fall by the wayside because the proponents have not worked out an acceptable long-term arrangement with local residents regarding the sustainability of the proposed project.  I give credit to the mining industry for trying to develop better approaches to this challenging situation that the energy industry has faced for many project proposals.

The link below describes the work and objectives of a group trying to develop better approaches to resource development.  And what impresses me most is that this initiative involves mainly mining engineers who are training young people how to explore and develop the earth’s mineral wealth.  The mining engineers are working with someone with a sociology background, but the important point is that mining engineers are themselves involved in finding innovative ways to solve the local problems encountered by resource development proposals.  The success or failure of future project proposals will be the test of whether they can come up with better approaches than are now available to the mining industry.  I am hopeful and confident that important advances can be made to ensure that future mine development projects can proceed.

……in their unprofessional way they have a lot to say that makes a lot of sense on gold and the markets. Just watch out for the first word “HELLO” ’cause you might lose your hearing for awhile. LOL!!!

Plutocracy is not an American word but it’s become an American phenomenon. Back in the fall of 2005, the Wall Street giant Citigroup even coined a variation on it, plutonomy, an economic system where the privileged few make sure the rich get richer with government on their side.

By the next spring, Citigroup decided the time had come to publicly “bang the drum on plutonomy.” … over the past 30 years the plutocrats, or plutonomists— choose your poison— have used their vastly increased wealth to capture the flag and assure the government does their bidding.

This marriage of money and politics has produced an America of gross inequality at the top and low social mobility at the bottom, with little but anxiety and dread in between, as middle class Americans feel the ground falling out from under their feet.

Like those populists of that earlier era, millions of Americans have awakened to a sobering reality: they live in a plutocracy, where they are disposable. Then, the remedy was a popular insurgency that ignited the spark of democracy. Now we have come to another parting of the ways, and once again the fate and character of our country are up for grabs.

Democracy only works when we claim it as our own.

He also keeps and protects YOU from having to deal with it in the REAL world.The Democrat PARTY encompasses a whole PANOPLY of MIS FITS near do well s,radicals anarchists pedophiles ,women predators ,liars cheats ,and brutes …..

I hope Melania remembers this when he comes home each night as she lives in her protected cocoon ..remembers where he’s been all day and gives him some comfort and not a lecture on a few cuss words….because he’s not perfect. JUST be THANKFULL that he CAN deal with it.

Jesus was perfect…did you see what they did to him ?

My thoughts about Tahoe are pretty much the same. It’s a great project but it’s in the wrong country. I sold my Lakeshore shares soon after the takeover was announced. The deal WAS disappointing. LSG should have hooked up with someone else. All in all I can’t complain too much since LSG did well for me in some pretty bleak times.

I have some First Mining as well and although it has it’s share of detractors the proof is in the pudding and so far it’s been tasty.

Looking forward to our Puget area dry spell as well.

Cheers

Bless you.

need to be PUT on the “NO GUN SALE LIST ,NO FLY LIST”,that will help stop radicalization.

is always telling Trump to watch his Language ..He worked in NYC and sometimes you bring your work habits home with you  .

I also worked in NYC and NJ ,I understand the situation !

Ill never forget one guy from the Garment business in NYC ,He embarrassed me he was so vile !

Melania is right leave the work language at work !   I used to learn that from my Father ..we would ague all day about work,but he never brought anger or work problems home with him… I need to remember that ! myself..

BTW Malania speaks 5 Languages(Slovenian,English,Serbian,French,German and their  son BARRON speaks 3 Slovenian,English & French and learned it by the age of 3….Thats pretty amazing !

at the transformation thats taken place in Virginia ,its gone from a staunchly conservative state to mostly Liberal .via commuters from DC headed south to find livable quarters commutable to DC …The commuters are now 70-80 miles south of DC..and thats tipped the scales in the conservative state to 50 % Liberal .and Obama has injected Muslims in the heart of conservative areas deliberately and they subsist on Gubberment handouts that LOCALS dont get.!  The Governors are not even informed when Churches are PAID by the Gubberment to transplant in immigrants just as NJ Governor said happened there,its happened here.

What the hell are Afgans MUSLIMS doing in RURAL CENTRAL VA  …unheard of !   ,living on handouts ! What happens when those Handouts stop ? Do they get violent ?

if it were so good DB looks like a BUY !

I wouldent !   It looks like a 4 Bagger    what say you WANKA ?   ya see what I mean about charts !   Ya gotta also look at the FUNNY- -MENTALS TOO   stuff like Balance sheets ,Debt to Capital Ratios,Current assets to Current Liab Ratios etc..

The INCOME STATEMENT will tell you whats happening today..The Balance Sheet will tell you How WELL they can ride out the Bad times !  IM no ACCOUNTANT ! but THE bALANCE SHEET IS A GOOD PLACE TO LOOK WHEN BOTTOM fishing..

You might wish to reconsider that post and remove it at your leisure. Or reword it to omit the ‘locker room’ language. I found it a little bit less than your normal quality of writing. Perhaps something a less graphic ?  Thanks, Farmboy

But maybe this time they deserve each other.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s newly-announced running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, has a history of embracing Islamists. He appointed a Hamas supporter to a state immigration commission; spoke at a dinner honoring a Muslim Brotherhood terror suspect; and received donations from well-known Islamist groups.

She’ll say let’s stick to the facts when it’s convienant so here’s some of the facts: Otherwise she’ll be seen to women as the victim and in her case there was nothing stopping her from leaving and even contributed to abuses.

When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority over a health care reform. Even after threats and intimidation, she couldn’t even get a vote in a democratic controlled congress. This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.Then President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney general. Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood – both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration. Next she chose Janet Reno – husband Bill described her selection as “my worst mistake.” Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children.Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guanier was her selection. When a little probing led to the discovery of Ms. Guanier’s radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some more recommendations. She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department. Her selections went well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.Many younger votes will have no knowledge of “Travelgate.” Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson – and the White House Travel Office refused to comply. She managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired. This ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six month investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime, and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours.Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone, and of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House.Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service to seven presidents.Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the scandal defense. Some of her more notable decisions in the debacle were:She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation they settled with Ms. Jones.She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr’s investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.Hillary’s game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for ‘lying under oath’ to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, “I do not recall,” “I have no recollection,” and “I don’t know” a total of 56 times while under oath.After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an estimated

$200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen.Now we are exposed to the destruction of possibly incriminating emails while Hillary was Secretary of State and the “pay to play” schemes of the Clinton Foundation – we have no idea what shoe will fall next. But to her loyal fans (supporters) – I guess in her own words “what difference does it make?” I guess being a female Democrat is all that matters. By the way, I’d post the same if she were a Republican. You see, she’s already been in the White House, she has a record we can review.Hillary for prison 2016 would be a good start to help make America safe again.

periods of isolation or retreat, do you ever bump into any of the folks from Australia and New Zealand who used to post occasionally on this site?  And if you ever encounter NIMO, tell him I am curious to know if he acted on my note of several months ago when I suggested “Buy more physical silver”.

not to offend anyones sensibilities !

That news item gave me the push I needed to bail out of Tahoe Resources.  I never set out to be a shareholder of this company.  I was very impressed with Lakeshore Gold and held a position in that stock for a number of years.   But then because of their joint business arrangement  I found myself a holder of Tahoe shares rather than Lakeshore shares. I am disappointed that the management of Lakeshore  chose a business arrangement with Tahoe rather than with someone like Keith Neumeyer’s First Mining Finance.  I do not know if First Mining was ever interested in Lakeshore Gold.  My portfolio will be the better when the Tahoe position is dropped.  There are other good alternatives in the PM equity sector that offer more hope  than Tahoe  Resources.

Cheers,  and have a good weekend as the Puget Sound region heads into the beginning of a summer drought period.   Equiz.

my take is they will pass the ‘soma’ for the masses and ‘cara’ will fly. jmho of course. yes chart has no place to go but up up and away…..other then down and dirty that is if all mj is banned which is a real stretch at this point.
this too is some play money since I’m all in with g & s also. wj

Guatemala: Tahoe Resources (TAHO) (THO.to) Escobal mining permits are under threat

Tahoe Resources (TAHO) (THO.to) has a problem.

First, the anti-mining anti-mining legal pressure group CALAS managed to use the Guatemala courtrooms to close down the El Tambor/La Puya mine owned by KCA. Now it’s after Tahoe Resources (THO.to) (TAHO) and its Escobal mine. This week CALAS submitted a formal petition to demand the immediate revocation of the Escobal mining permits (along with those of another mine, Sechol) to the country’s Ministry of Energy and Mining (MEM) because it says that its permits were illegally granted during the previous government of Otto Pérez Molina (who is now in jail due to the “La Linea” corruption scandal). It works like this:
•According to CALAS (translated), “Under article 50 of the Mining Law, the Ministry of Energy and Mines has the obligation to declare non-substantial any right of mining operation (i.e. permit) when it has been granted without fulfilling the established requirements in the Mining Law and its regulations”.
•In December 2015 The Constitutional Court of Guatemala ruled that the Escobal permit had been granted without fulfilling all requirements of the Mining Law. Specifically it stated that the MEM had “Violated the administrative procedure for the permitting of these mining projects” (i.e. Escobal and Sechol).
•Therefore yesterday CALAS submitted its formal demand to revoke the Sechol and Escobal mining licences. In this report in Guatemala’s national daily ‘La Hora’, its legal representative Rafael Maldonado said (translated), “With immediate effect, during the next month, we ask that the mining operations are halted”, and he added that if they weren’t shut down CALAS will take legal action against the Minister of Energy and Mining. Using a legal action against the minister in question is, for what it’s worth, the same strategy CALAS used in March 2016 to get the MEM to first suspend and finally annul the El Tambor/La Puya mining permits.

Escobal is of course the same mine where an employee was killed in a workplace accident in November, but instead of admitting the fatality TAHO decided to bury the story and not mention it to anyone anywhere.
