No matter who gets elected our next President, we are in for rough times ahead. If its Hillary, then the progressive socialist movement will continue to push our Freedoms off the nearest cliff. If by some miracle, and its going to take one, Trump wins, he has a mess to clean up before we begin rebuilding this country. Either way, I can see a whole lot of pain coming down.

And you are exactly right. Gold and Silver but one thing we all need to be stacking. Better be watching out, taking care of, a multitude of  items. The check list seems to grow longer by the day. And if I had to put one thing ahead of most others it would be to be nice. Be nice to people around you. Today is a good day to start a program of Random Acts of Kindness. Mow the neighbors grass is he aint feeling so good. Call up an old friend just to check in. A lot of folks are already hurting, its time to be of some help. Besides being the ‘Right Thing’ to do, it will probably pay dividends in the future. One way or another, having friends around us may just make the biggest difference of all. Mind if I tell you a story?

Several years back I gave the fellow from India who runs the local convenience store a silver eagle as a gift to celebrate the birth of his first son. I will never forget the look of surprise on his face. Im not sure if it was because a customer would treat him in that fashion, or if it was the Silver Eagle. And believe me, as all folks from that part of the globe do, what an ounce of silver was. Kinda nice to give a gift to someone who truly appreciates it.

Anyways, a year or two later we had a little problem with the gas and diesel supply in these parts. Nothing like the long lines of the 70’s mind you, but fuel was getting a little  sparse. So I pulled in to the store and the owner pulled me off to the side and told me no matter what, he was saving me a hundred gallons of diesel in case I needed it. Even if he had to put a sign up ‘Out of Fuel’ he told me to come on in and he would fill up the truck.

I have yet to place the value of that one particular Silver Dollar. I have a feeling, my remembering the birth of his son, and my small gift of an ounce, may return many, many, times over. Every now and then I like to kid around and I ask him if he is still holding my fuel? His reply is always the same, and said in a most serious way, “Always Mr. Farmboy, always!” You know, I believe him. I believe he is a man of his word. A Single ounce is not a bad price to make a new friend.

Yeah, Rainbow, time is running short I think. Best heed the calls all around us, and start on the checklist. Not just for ourselves, but so we can be in the position to be of help to others. Kinda like a prayer I heard once. ” God bless me with all that I need, and a little extra, so I can help someone else.” Think that embraces a spirit of gratitude that will get us through.

Dang if that aint a pretty good sermon ! Almost feel like passing the collection plate. 🙂

Glad to have you aboard Rainbow and look forward to how you see things. The floor is yours, I will even let you use my soap crate since you made the coffee.

…… in 2 -5 years, an ounce will be valued at……$120. Oh wait, that’s SILVER……GOLD will be valued at $3600 for a 30/1 ratio…..and that’s still nothing to what is coming after that, like $280 SILVER and $7000 GOLD for a…………

Ipso, 3 authentications required to post this short missive!!

Was not that long ago, ok, well, about ten years ago I could still dig 40-50 post holes in a day. Today, you would be lucky if I could dig a dozen post holes. In part, it’s kinda like my attitude towards drinking. I think I will let the younger ones pick up my slack. I see a lot of young men around town. Mostly doing nothing that I can tell. Some do flip the occasional burger or provide that double chocolate scooped ice cream cone. And I appreciate they being there to serve me, but I cant help but wonder if their purple hair, tattooed arms, could haul 50 or 60 bales fo shingles up on a roof. I even wonder if they know what a hammer is?

That is pretty much how I view the gold bashers these days. Seems it was but a few years back when they could knock gold down 20, 30, or even 50 bucks in a mornings work. I think their arms are tired, and like noodles now. They seem to do ‘good’ if they can bop gold for a ten buck, and even then, their efforts have little or no lasting effect. The Boyz seem to be running out of steam. Losing the battle in the pits.

Ya know, somedays I am so bored, I almost wish they would make things exciting again with say an exhilerating $100.00 down roller coaster dive. Imagine it would be like riding in Maddog’s Jaguar doing a hundred on some curving road. So far today, watching them at work is about as exciting as swatting flies. Well, I guess I get my thrills where I find em.

Good to see you keeping up at the Oasis. Keep fighting the good fight !

Best, Farmboy

But if Trump does not win it will be because Hillary got 110% of the votes, just like Obama did in many states. I’ve asked this question before but never get a response. What is ANYONE doing to make sure this election is not another crooked one?? What is being done to make sure the voting machines are not rigged?? What is being done to make sure all voters are legal voters?? Since this subject never comes up I would assume the MSM has been instructed to say not a word on the subject.

I wish to hell somebody with the power would take on this project to be certain this coming election is a fair and honest one. If so I would say trump will win by the most votes ever recorded in American history…..not because everybody likes Trump, but because they know they don’t want lying Hillary to lead them further into hell. I really think America is beginning to wake up!!

>… brings a smile to my face …I try to imagine the price of Gold and Silver 5 years from today…

If the numbers you imagine come to pass, there may be precious little else to smile about.  As they say, be careful what you wish for.

I’m getting old, pretty sure of it, because I find myself day dreaming a lot more these days. My chores are simple and few enough that it allows my mind to wander onto different things besides the task at hand.

I have one particular thing that I day dream a lot these days, and it always brings a smile to my face. I try to imagine the price of Gold and Silver 5 years from today. Or even just two years. I agree 98% with the author of that article. The PTB and their games are coming to an end. And when the smoke clears, I continue to hold to idea that only ounces will matter or count. Not because I wish it to be so, I simply see no other option.

Guess I will keep stacking, and adding to the food pantry is probably a good idea as well. Seen where folks were standing in line for 12 hours to get something to eat in Venzoolayem. I hate standing in lines.

Now back to ….what was it I was going to do ….oh yeah, in 2 -5 years, an ounce will be valued at….????

European Banking System Collapsing Now! Next up, Sovereign Bonds?

by Andrew Hoffman | Aug 2, 2016

Unequivocally, the rubber is hitting the road NOW! So much so, I believe “last to go” markets are in danger of being overwhelmed by the chaotically scrambling, Keystone Kop-like, terminally cancerous “powers that be.” And by “last to go,” I don’t just mean the gold and silver markets, which are being swamped by exploding physical demand, collapsing production, vanishing inventories, and history’s most violently PM-bullish political, economic, and monetary environment. No, I mean everything else; including hideously overvalued stock markets – which cumulatively, will either crash into oblivion, or hyper-inflate Zimbabwe style; with the result, in either case, being the biggest real losses of all time. To that end, kudos to Gordon Long, who in this article, opened my eyes to the massive head and shoulders top formation in global stock markets, which is breaking down as we speak; ominously, led by financials. Which is exactly why he – and I – anticipate Central banks are about to go “all in” on hyperinflation.

is he tells the Truth. Likes to smack you in the face with it. And there aint much defense against the Truth except telling more lies on top of the lies. Ever try to lie your way out of something? Well, it has the Democratics, a some Republicans too, who are up to their eyeballs in lies, bribes, and misconduct of all manner  squirming like an earthworm on hot  asphalt in August.

The elites have lied to us for so long, and it has mostly worked with a lot of folks, some dont know how to handle a man like Trump. He simply gets in front of an audience, time after time, and shines a light on the darkened back rooms of lies and deceit that we have been fed thanks to the collusion of the Media. He aint afraid, to call someone out on their lying, cheating, ways. And he has something we have not seen in a long, long time. It is called character. And he does not need, nor seek, money or approval from those in Washington and that includes politicians and lobbiest of all stripe.

And Trump talks about change. Real change. Brick and mortar kind of change. And he talks about putting America first, again. And a lot of folks simply cant handle even the thought of such, without getting sick to their stomach. Those wretched ones of evil are feeling the heat of Truth. And they see a crowd gathering around Trump, and they are running scared. They are beginning to act like a rabid animal that is cornered, hissing, snarling, and spitting.

And its just getting started, this battle against Truth, and Trump. I hear Hillary has 100 million to run Tv adds. And I am sure Soros, Buffett, or a host of others will quickly give her another few hundred million as needed. The ones we hear spewing the most hate, are most likely the ones who have the most to lose if Trump wins, and Truth reigns.

A lot of folks are old enough to have grown up with Heros.  We had a whole bunch of em. Superman, Batman, Roy Rogers, and of course, John Wayne, The Duke. Trump kinda reminds me of some of these characters. I believe Trump says what he means, and means what he says. Truth, plain and simple. America has a choice to make come November. In my mind it really is about making up our minds, do we support, stand for, embrace, Truth, or will it be the continuation of things evil, and letting the Elites continue to run down our Country.

God Bless America. But I think He is leaving it up to us to decide which direction, which path, we wish to choose. We are about to see, what kind of heart America has. And in my opinion, its too close to call.

Philippines & Indonesia: Mining companies face increased compliance risks, further uncertainty

•Both the Philippines and Indonesia are seeking to reinforce environmental regulations and increase revenues from the mining sector, compounding longer-term difficulties for mining operators in both countries.
•Mining firms could face penalties for not complying with previously unenforced regulations, especially in the Philippines where President Rodrigo Duterte has spoken against the negative effects of mining on communities.
•Meanwhile, mining companies in Indonesia could suffer from the planned transfer of licencing powers from local to provincial authorities as well as government demands for greater shares of revenue in mining contract negotiations.

Silver Wheaton saw its stock price jump almost 3% on Tuesday, following a report that the company will increase its goldstream from the Salobo mine in Brazil. The $800 million deal with a Vale subsidiary provides Silver Wheaton an additional 25% of output of gold equivalent over the mine’s life.

This latest acquisition will add to Silver Wheaton’s existing 50% of gold production from Salobo; Brazil’s largest known copper deposit. President and CEO of Silver Wheaton, Randy Smallwood, announced on Tuesday that; “We did not hesitate at the opportunity to increase our exposure to a mine with one of the lowest copper cash costs in the world, 50 years of mine life on reserves alone, and what we believe to be substantial exploration and expansion potential.”

The Vancouver based company has revised its production guidance to reflect the new stream. The forecast for 2016 has been upped to 305,000 ounces, while projected annual gold production over the coming 5 years is expected to reach an average of 330,000 ounces a year.

Venezuelan opposition clears another referendum hurdle (Aug. 2, 2016)

Venezuela’s National Electoral Council (CNE) approved the first of two petitions needed to carry out a recall referendum against President Nicolás Maduro.

The much postponed decision was far from certain, and represents at least a modest win for the opposition, according to the Wall Street Journal. (See last Wednesday’s post.)

The decision recognizes the MUD opposition coalition as a valid mediator to request the referendum, explains Efecto Cocuyo.

But the opposition promised to resume marches and protests as the CNE refused to provide firm dates or assurances that the referendum will happen this year, reports the Miami Herald.

Welcome to the Oasis!

as my post of 1:12 implies ..Was your son killed by a Muslim ?

All other questions are of MOOT significance .

New revelations from Peter Schweizer, the author of the meticulously documented book “Clinton Cash,” and Stephen K. Bannon, executive chairman of Breitbart, show that Hillary’s campaign Chairman John Podesta “sat on the board of a small energy company alongside Russian officials that received $35 million from a Putin-connected Russian government fund.”

Can’t post link….https://duckduckgo.com/ search it on the headline

No doubt the MSM will ignore this, like all the other scandals…….but Trump won’t.

All he has to do is ask questions, say on Twitter or in Ad’s and then demand answers in the debates…..

Who said that?? (…fumbles for flashlight …)
ah…  the resident inn-keeper  🙂

The sheer amount of psyops, misinformation and outright lies associated with the transfer of wealth to the east/invasion of Europe and Amerika prevent my befuddled little brain from weeding out details; all is lost in the noise. Trump, Hillary?  Will change nothing. Just like Brexit changes nothing.

Well I been trying to get in for months – using skeleton keys, nailfiles, tweezers … even a crowbar. Seems all I had to do was ring the doorbell!

Nobody around yet,  but at least I found the store cupboard…

you’re against all of the money in the world as well. So I don’t buy that guy’s Bitcoin argument

Exchange Admits Security Breach, over $60 million stolen.

This is the second major BTC exchange to go down.  Years back, the major market mover was MT Gox based in Japan.  It went Tango-Uniform under similar circumstances.  Back then I had actively purchased some BTC on the MT Gox exchange, but I didn’t trust them.  I would only fund the account, purchase my BTC, and clean out the account of BTC to my private wallet, not leaving bitcoins in the exchange.  I only left token dollars in my account.

As I said, these computer ‘bit freaks’ are idiots, with no concept of what they are up against.  This was the rant I wrote after the MT Gox fiasco, and published it on a major bitcoin board.  I guess it’s time for a repeat:

==========================================

There are some serious lessons to be learned here for both “Market Moving Exchanges” and you whining “traders”. Lessons already learned by long-time precious metals traders about an alternative currency/commodity, the mining equity stocks, and how sovereign nations and international banks(ters) manipulate markets to their own interests.

The bitcoin itself is encrypted, digitally strong, and distributed non-centrally, which are it’s strengths to prevent manipulation of itself. Now think long and hard about any nation-state, or central-banking currency, that perceives the bitcoin system to be a threat. They will attack the exchanges. They will sow distrust, and attempt to manipulate the MARKET to crash the bitcoinage. To lose $8.5 million to achieve their goal of market disruption is pocket change to these powers! They can print more! ANY marketplace/exchange that gains enough volume (like Mt.Gox) to seriously move the market price WILL BECOME the target of a market-moving attack from ‘The Powers That Be’. It therefore behooves the Market-makers/exchanges to be as paranoidly secure in their systems as is humanly possible. You WILL BECOME the object of nation-sponsored hacking attempts and subversion you cannot imagine. Strive for the security of the bitcoin itself in your market systems. You are… literally… up against “all the money in the world”.

Market Exchanges should implement safety systems to prevent ‘flash crashes’ and market-manipulating high volatility moves. Even the NYSE has ‘circuit breakers’ implemented to prevent such moves. Take a lesson there.
Stocks themselves and currency moves are routinely manipulated with unlimited paper backing to move markets according to perceived ‘national interests’. It is not possible to ‘naked short’ bitcoins like is routinely done with equity stocks, so these monsters must accumulate large… huge… piles of bitcoins in accounts in order to manipulate the market. EXCHANGES SHOULD LIMIT THE NUMBER OF BITCOINS HELD IN ANY ACCOUNT TO SOMETHING LESS THAN MARKET-MOVING VOLUME. This will slow the manipulators just a little. Then they will coordinate attacks from multiple, smaller accounts. So EXCHANGES SHOULD IMPLEMENT ‘CIRCUIT BREAKERS’ much like the NYSE to prevent large percentage market-volatility moves. Stop the trading and enforce a ‘time-out’ cooling off period before resuming trading. This also gives the market exchange time to investigate the source of the market volatility moves, and isolate troublemaker accounts. Many anarchists say there should be NO LIMITS on trading. I agree in principle, but recent history demonstrates that this leaves the marketplace vulnerable. I say to MODERATE the market, while keeping it free in smaller volumes. Just as an unmoderated forum will degenerate into chaos, we have now seen how an unmoderated marketplace WILL crash and burn at the hands of agent provocateurs. Remember… you are up against “all the money in the world”.

So you ‘traders’ whine about your corrupt (at least on one side) trades being reversed. Take a lesson from stock and commodity traders. It is not a ‘trade’ until the exchange clears it and lets you take that money. Sometimes that takes several days before clearing. Until then, the exchange is in control of your funds and trades. You traders who made a killing and withdrew your funds/bitcoins to your outside wallets are the smart ones who ‘cleared’ your own trades…. and did so in much less time than any traditional commodity exchange would allow! Count your blessings!

I’m a longtime goldbug sufferer at the hands of the national manipulators. Done the research and seen it all. I don’t play in paper-manipulated stocks nor paper gold promises. I collect the real, physical thing out of TPTB reach. I began accumulating bitcoins because I believe it is the liberty currency of the digital future. I treat it the same way as a gold coin. I made my last buy at 17.70 and then transferred most BTC out of the exchange to my wallet that is kept offline normally. Apparently this was just hours before the crash. Mt.Gox still has some of my USD in account (I hope!), but I carry the account with the idea that I could lose it all, so I keep the balances minimal. Any smart trader should do the same. Fund only what you are willing to trade (or lose!) and get the rest out of the ‘brokerage account’ and into your secure possession. Let the buyer beware. Any account holder with large sums in their account is either stupid, or looking to make trouble in the marketplace.

It is time for the bitcoin marketplace to face the stark reality of an unfriendly central banking world that wishes the bitcoin dead and buried.

=======================================

But do they listen?  Apparently not!

Mr Kahn, Trump should of said nothing other than asked him what the person he’s endorsing Hillary has sacrificed. Maybe not even that but at least he’s not bringing out Benghazi mothers who might have another opinion of how they treat gold star parents. If they want to, in order to be heard but that’s all. I read that Kahn has deleted a Muslim immigrant site.

Fact still is they’re not refugees with possible ISIS ties or the thugs getting through they were legal immigrants. If his son was killed by radicals than he of all people should know how dangerous they are or that Obama made it worse and that we should not be just letting anyone in but he’s not so makes it obvious why he did it.

Somehow the freaks of nature have become the standard by which we judge everyone !

WE can do better ! We neednt judge the merits of apples by the mis shapen ,worm  infested with imperfections freaks . Standards need to be raised both in Apples & our leaders !

How can we show our children by example if the example the lowest scum on earth …not a very good way to encourage children to do their best..! If you dont set expectations high enough ,you get low performance.
