And that “we” armed and funded Al Qaeda in Syria.

Comment:

In my view, the “US” and “we” is not really the US and us. Our domestic Whitehouse is “infiltrated”, influenced and controlled by special interests from foreign nations. We and the USA did nothing. “They” do it all.

and sod the consequences…plus 6 % and only open 30 Mins. !!!!!!!!

That’s what u call a PM stock…..

Meanwhile rates are going ape !!!!!!

Brutal Drought in the West Is Decimating This Year’s Wheat Crop

Severe droughts in the heart of America’s breadbasket are now so bad that some farmers are choosing not to even try to bring their wheat to harvest.

Conditions in the American West, especially in the Dakotas and northeastern Montana, are dire. The government’s own data, gathered by the US Drought Monitor Map, indicate an “exceptional drought” condition in patches of these three states. Here’s the definition of that rating: “Exceptional and widespread crop/pasture losses. Shortages of water in reservoirs, streams, and wells creating water emergencies.” Scary.

The drought is so bad, in fact, that an estimated seven out of ten farmers in these areas have chosen not to even attempt to bring their wheat to full harvest, instead baling it early to create hay. That strategy drastically reduces the amount of wheat to be made into flour on the open market, and also reduces the income of those farmers.

That hay will be used to feed animals that are unable to graze in the parched pastures of the west, but at a much lower price; hay, even with a spike to about $100 per ton thanks to the drought, fetches typically about 60 percent the price of wheat.

Tulsi Gabbard: US Addicted to Regime Change; CIA Funded and Armed Al Qaeda in Syria

In a brazen attempt at honesty, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D) of Hawaii went on Tucker Carlson tonight and declared the US was addicted to regime change and that we armed and funded Al Qaeda in Syria.

In late 2016, Gabbard introduced the ‘Stop Funding Terrorist Act’ to Congress — but hardly anyone on the left or on the neocon right listened. Over the course of the past two years, we’ve seen Russia on the right side of history, aiding the only legitimate government in Syria — which has provided the media with endless demonization campaigns depicting both Assad and Putin as monsters, who both gassed innocents and bombed out hospitals, whilst ignoring the horrors and the blind hatred of the people attempting to overthrow Assad.

The stated goal of Putin’s meddling in Syria was to protect Russian’s sole Mediterranean port and aid an ally of Russia who has been loyal to the Kremlin for decades. US policy has been soft on ISIS and hard on Assad, seeking to support so called ‘moderate rebels’ to overthrow him. The most important fallacy about these ‘moderate rebels’ is that they are, in fact, an Al Qaeda spinoff, working in conjunction with ISIS to install the Caliphate in Syria. In other words, we’re now supporting the same people who allegedly attacked us on 9/11.

When Trump ended the brainless CIA project to arm and fund terrorists in Syria, the media painted it as ceding to the demands of Putin. However, what our lawmakers have failed to do is sell America on the idea of extended war in Syria, which would undoubtedly cost inordinate amounts of money and lives. Instead, they simply point towards isolated events to monsterize Assad and draw on the feeble emotional strings of the American normie.

If US policy is to not negotiate with terrorists, then why the heck are we arming them? Let the regional players sort Syria out and leave us the hell out of it.

Tanzania Hands Mining Company $190 Billion Tax Bill

Tanzania sent Acacia Mining Plc a tax bill equal to almost two centuries worth of the gold producer’s revenue.

The government issued the company, which mines all of its gold in the African country, with a $40 billion tax bill and another $150 billion in interest and penalties, Acacia said in a statement Monday. The charge covers alleged under-declared export revenues from the Bulyanhulu and Buzwagi mines over periods between 2000 and 2017.

Acacia reiterated that it has fully declared all revenues. The stock sank as much as 17 percent on Tuesday to the lowest since December 2013. In just three days, the company has lost 42 percent of its value.

I have been impressed by gold’s resilience–especially with–as u say–options expiration AND  the FED meeting dead ahead. But u made a coupla bucks already on the short side…LOL. My break even is $16 on JNUG-I’ll be out before that…for now I’ll  let ‘er ride–there is chatter that the FED may be more dovish on Wednesday given all the weak data lately…

Gold’s bounced back…fine and dandy…now we just need some upside…

copper’s been quietly rallying–now up 7 cent

Dlr/Yen and SM bid, PM’s hit.

Looks like 1260 is a no go for scum and all this has been telegraphed in the PM shares, as scum have sat on them for days.

Please don’t cry too hard for the poor lambs…..

Farmboy has a point. Oak in Calif you need a permit to cut it even if it’s on your property. It burns hot and longer. Plus people make carved things out of it. Who know though you might meet someone with a family who needs it bad enought to come and cut it. Sorry about the Christmas tree.

My sympathies for the ‘tonnage’ you have laying there.  I have learned the true meaning of BioMass… MASS.   Oak is such a nice hardwood… and heavy.  Mom had an Oak kitchen table when I was a kid in the 50s.

I hired a pro to work on my trees in the back today.  He did the high work and trimmed and felled.  I was the ground monkey, cutting, sectioning, and hauling debris and wood out front where we will bring in the chipper later on.  I only moved about a paltry ton today.  We’re about one-third finished, but took care of the largest, nastiest ‘African Tulip’ in the far corner so it isn’t threatening the neighbor’s fence.   Just waiting now until I can take my next dose of anti-inflammatory pill.
