US VP says Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and will use them …

Dick Cheney in 2002: “There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction

Dick Cheney’s Biggest Lie

Plenty of the best-informed intelligence sources were certain the WMDs were a fantasy. French intelligence knew it; so did Russia and Germany. The strongest human intelligence collected by the CIA—which secretly came from the Iraqi foreign minister, Naji Sabri, and Iraq’s head of intelligence, Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti—was detailed, correct and ignored. Instead, the administration built its case on Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi (the infamous “Curveball,” a man German intelligence had warned the CIA was unreliable) and Muhammad Harith, a former Iraqi intelligence officer whose information was dismissed by British intelligence as a fabrication 10 months before the war began.

Comment:

I myself will never ever believe anything, anymore anyway anyhow if it comes from the media and does not make any sense. Everything we hear and see is somebody’s special interest advertisement for something they want to sell, or make people think.

Buygold @ 20:14 Try This On For Size

The little Fat Man with the funky haircut is simply garnering the worlds attention in an attempt to shake down the World Powers for a few hundred Billion in Sit Down, Shut Up, money before the 2018 Winter Olympic Games which are to be held in Seoul S. Korea in February

Or, Lil Kim is simply batcrap crazy, and does not understand he cannot push Trumps buttons. Failing to recognize and understand Trump is not a politician, and will drop one on his head may be a major malfunction of the Lil Tyrant. Could turn out to be good for gold though. 🙂

Hmm…seems like it might be more Kabuki theatre but I guess if it bluffs gold up a few bucks then whatever.

I do agree with the DOW going up 5K points though. War is great for markets.

If they do actually start shooting it will be to cover up whatever financial chaos the US has engineered.

Same as it always was.

So much for the summer doldrums…….Volatility everywhere !!!!!

Re Notes

I seem to remember a while back, that when someone checked out the ‘Indirects’, because they were taking such huge chunks, nearly all of it was a PO Box in Brussels….aka the Fed.

Been away for a few days …coming back is v depressing…the control is total…..but at some point that very control, will be the cause of total chaos.

Hmmm…war with N. Korea…oughta be good for $800 or $900 gold and another 5K DOW pts. up! eom

Tenants That’s interesting. I’ll have to look into it.

Who needs gold? U.S. t-notes and bonds better–an insatiable demand for U.S. paper!!

“Stellar” 3 Year Auction: Highest Bid To Cover Since 2015

Launching this week’s Treasury issuance of 3, 10 and 30Y paper, this afternoon’s 3-year note auction results was “stellar”, as Stone McCarthy put it.

The auction stopped 0.9 bps through the 1.529% When Issued, printing at 1.520% – the third consecutive “stopping through” auction in a row – with the highest bid/cover in more than a year and a half, as 3.13 bids tendered for every dollar, the highest since December 2015, far above the 2.80 6 month average. There were $75.1BN bids for $24BN in notes sold (ex-SOMA).

The internals were also impressive, with foreign buyers, or Indirects, awarded 64.1%, above last month’s 52.6% and above the 6MMA of 54.6%. The $20.960 billion Indirect bid today was far above the $15.229 billion average of the prior six months. In fact, outside of the $22.296 billion bid in June, it was the largest since January 2012. The hit ration was good for a bid of that size, boosting the Indirect takedown to 64.5% which is well above the 54.6% average of the prior six months. That is the third largest Indirect takedown on record, behind only the 65.6% takedown two months ago and the record 68.5% takedown in November 2009.

This is not some big bearish “crash” statement–I own no stocks and am long a lot of cash sitting in 6mo $ one yr t-notes earning zilch. I have a lot of commercial real estate. I want to have some hedge just in case and this is the time of the year to do so…plus downside protection is very cheap. Since I haunt  a lot of gloomy websites, I see a number of crash predictions–which I am not thrilled to see. But when viewing the more normative financial community, I see extreme indifference to risk…and a lot of “the market is bullet proof” thinking…[and maybe it is]…but 8 grand isn’t a terrifying sum to spend on a potentially high leverage trade with 6 months time on it.

Re U of Georgia

I strongly suggest none of their pupils ever visit Singapore, in case they transgress. As I’m not sure they could handle the local police….let alone any jail time, or God forbid a caning !!!!

that’s far too risky, the paint might take longer than 10 hrs to dry…a dn SM day is much less likely.

Lol

Cheers.

Less than 1 hour for shares and already the scum are all over PM’s and bidding SM.

Same action day in day out.

and of course Dollar getting bid..how did I miss that ???

Reckon I will go away again and lie in the fast lane of a motorway…makes more sense than to expect Janet to ‘Allow’ a down day in the SM.

Yeah that makes sense!

More than 21,000 mining jobs on the line in South Africa

Posted by ipso facto @ 9:44 on August 8, 2017  

Representatives from South Africa’s National Union of Mineworkers marched to AngloGold Ashanti’s (JSE:ANG) head office in Johannesburg to protest against the company’s decision to cut 8,500 jobs at its Carletonville operation.

Concerned about the steps taken by the world’s third-biggest gold producer, who said it is uneconomical to mine Carletonville’s shafts, and by Bokoni Platinum Mine’s plan to cut over 2,600 permanent jobs by next month, NUM’s president Piet Matosa is threatening with a general strike in coming days.

Sibanye Gold also announced it will restructure operations at its Cooke and Beatrix mines, a move that could affect 7,400 of its employees and 3,000 contractors.

Despite the fact that Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane has been implicated in the Gupta family scandal related to undue political influence in the South African government by the Oakbay owners, the labour movement wants both him and President Jacob Zuma to intervene as soon as possible.
