Loading ...Potholes of disaster everywhere. Each with a bouncing betty of ruin!
And closer to home … it would be nice not to own shares in companies which have operations in some of the EM countries such as Turkey or Argentina etc.

Just read your nightmare. You can pay for your car registration anytime so not to get a late fee without the smog but won’t get your tags until u get the smog. You should automatically get them once it’s done. I know a gas station that also give u tags if you haven’t pre paid but cost more to save you having to go to the DMV. That way you don’t have to feel rushed.
For older cars they have something you can buy called “guaranteed to pass.” You put it in a full gas tank and run it through to about empty. Once empty fill it up again with good gas like premium from Chevron then get the smog done. I heard it works good plus has a guarantee lol
IPSO–more currency chaos=J. Johnson–8-29—[not that it matters in the least…]
Turkey’s currency continues its weakening trend, as the fiat goes the route of Venezuelan Bolivar, pushing the Lira another 3% lower as their inflation increases in double digits causing financial calamity within its borders . Another “Emerging Market” in failure is Tunisia with its accumulated foreign debt and its currency, the Dinar collapsing as well. How many more of “emerging markets” have to fail before the world catches on to the fact the fiat game has reached its conclusions?
****************************************************************
IPSO–the U.S.–Europe—and China seem impervious to this developing EM crisis–but will it be the catalyst for a fall collapse like in 2008? Any one got any 100 year bonds?
******************************************************************
Emerging markets/G7 FX volatility ratio just hit its all-time record high – higher even than 2008 and the global financial crisis. Could there be a much larger storm brewing just not in Argentina?
And finally, just in case you forgot, Argentina (the most-defaulting nation in world history) issued a 100-year bond last year (and it was over-subscribed). Things are not going so well for those ‘reaching’ for that yield…

Thanks for the advice on books. I was too sick from that medicine now on antibiotics to respond. I just pasted them to look them up later.

When I had a 1974 econo van for camping some mechanic did that to me. He showed me two wires. He said when there done with the smog test switch back these wires so it will run right. When they did the test I think they knew but didn’t say anything. The only thing I could think about was okay this one is supposed to go there and this one here. Later in California all cars 74 or older were no longer mandated for smog just registration. I already donated it to the blind and thought darn that figures but at least his helped them I hope.

Reminds me of when I used to live in CA back in the days when cars had carburetors. You’d take your car to the mechanic to get it smogged and he’d lean out the fuel mixture to allow the car to pass the test (and the car would be running crappy) then when you got home you’d just have to adjust the carb back to where your car would run decently.
What a scam!
This is interesting. At least it looks as if an acknowledgment of reality is happening.
US Intel Officials Made Secret Trip To Damascus For Talks With Assad Advisor
The Al-Akhbar report provided the following details regarding US demands, according to an English translation provided by Syriana Analysis:
The American side made a clear and specific offer: The United States is ready to withdraw its troops completely from Syrian territory, including the Al-Tanf and Eastern Euphrates according to security arrangements supervised by the Russian and Syrian armies. In exchange for three US demands:
First, Iran’s full withdrawal from the Syrian south.
Second, to obtain written guarantees that give US companies a share of the oil sector in the regions of eastern Syria.
Third, the Syrian side to provide the Americans with full data of the terrorist groups and their members, including the numbers of foreign fighter deaths of these groups and those who survived, and those may return to Western countries, considering that the terrorist threat is intercontinental. And what we can get, serve the international security

STK.V Strikepoint Gold
I found and extra $1000 so threw some more mud at the wall. Bought 5500 shares based on their aggressive exploration program and recent acquisitions. Not recommending them, just keeping all my cards on the table. They’ve been over $7 and down to $.02. If the sector takes off I expect them to be a leader. Please DYODD!!

Exclusive: Cameroon cocoa exporters, farmers flee crisis in Anglophone region
LONDON/DOUALA, Cameroon (Reuters) – Cocoa firms operating in Cameroon have moved staff out of the Anglophone region of the country and farmers are abandoning their crops in the area, as violence between separatists and security forces intensifies, exporters and farmers told Reuters.
Sources say the deepening conflict has started denting cocoa output and flow from the southwest, stripping the region of its mantle as Cameroon’s top cocoa-growing area.
Telcar Cocoa, Olam and Theobroma are among the firms that have moved the majority of their staff out of southwest Cameroon due to safety concerns, according to several sources with knowledge of the matter.
Some cocoa farmers have also abandoned their plantations and fled, driven out by a rise in kidnappings, extortion and fighting between insurgents and security forces.
Hecla’s silver-copper project in remote Montana overcomes hurdle
Kootenai National Forest, an agency that manages 154 forests and 20 grasslands in the U.S., announced today that they have approved the first phase of Hecla Mining’s silver and copper mine in northwestern Montana.
The Rock Creek Mine would be built beneath the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, an area of glaciated peaks and valleys that take their name from the area’s box-like rock formations. Grizzly bears and wolverines inhabit the terrain.
Despite the KNF’s approval for the project, the Associated Press reports there is no clarity as to when work could begin at the remote site because of an ongoing legal dispute between Montana environmental regulators and Hecla (NYSE: HL).

Medical Cannabis Offers New Hope for Those With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
Story at-a-glance
Marijuana contains more than 60 different cannabinoids; chemical compounds the human body is uniquely equipped to respond to. Two primary ones are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
Cannabinoids interact with your body by way of naturally occurring cannabinoid receptors embedded in cell membranes throughout your body
Your body also has naturally occurring endocannabinoids that stimulate your cannabinoid receptors and play a role in a variety of physiologic processes, including metabolic regulation, pain, anxiety and immune function
The endocannabinoids produced by your body appear to perform signaling operations similar to your body’s neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin
Recent research reveals endocannabinoids play an important role in controlling inflammatory bowel diseases by preventing excess white blood cells from entering your gut and causing damage
