Why are there no candidates of real substance, principle, and especially of real charm in this scrim of political basilisks?

Posted by Richard640 @ 13:56 on April 11, 2016  

The Mystery Revealed—KUNSTLER
The mystery is at last revealed: why does the field of candidates for president score so uniformly low in trust, credibility, likability? Why are there no candidates of real substance, principle, and especially of real charm in this scrim of political basilisks? (Surely there are many people of substance and principle elsewhere in America — they just don’t dare seek the job at the symbolic tippy-top of this clusterfuck of faltering rackets.) The reason is that the problems are unfixable, at least not within the acceptable terms of the zeitgeist, namely: the secret wish to keep all the rackets going at all costs.

This is true, by the way, of all parties concerned from the 0.001 percent billionaire grifter class to the deluded sophomores crying for “safe spaces” in their womb-like “student life centers” to the sports-and-porn addled suburban multitudes stuck with impossible mortgage, car, and college loan debts (and, suddenly, no paying job) to the deluded Black Lives Matter mobs who have failed to notice that black lives matter least to the black people slaughtering each other over sneakers and personal slights. None of these groups really want to change anything. They actually wish to preserve their prerogatives.

The interests of the 0.001 percent are obvious: maintain those streams of unearned, rentier, notional wealth as long as possible and convert them as fast as possible into hard assets (Caribbean islands, Cézanne landscapes, gold bars) that will theoretically insulate them from the wrath of history when the center no longer holds. The poor (and ever-poorer) formerly middle class suburban debt serfs, for all their travails, can’t imagine living any other way or putting less of their dwindling capital into the Happy Motoring matrix. The Maoist Social Justice Warrior students are enjoying the surprising power and thrills of coercion, especially as directed against their simpering professors and cringing college presidents anxious to sustain the illusion that something like learning takes place in the money laundering operations of higher ed. The Black Lives Matter crowd just wants to be excused from their failure to follow standards of decent behavior and to keep mau-mauing the other ethnic groups of America for material and political tribute.

It must be obvious that the next occupant of the White House will preside over the implosion of all these arrangements since, in the immortal words of economist Herb Stein, if something can’t go on forever, it will stop. So the only individuals left seeking the position are 1) An inarticulate reality TV buffoon; 2) a war-happy evangelical maniac; 3) a narcissistic monster of entitlement whose “turn” it is to hold the country’s highest office; and 4) a valiant but quixotic self-proclaimed socialist altacocker who might have walked off the set of Welcome Back Kotter, 40th Reunion Special. These are the ones left standing halfway to the conventions. Nobody else in his, her, it, xe, or they right mind wants to be handed this schwag-bag of doom.

On Saturday, the unstoppable Democratic shoo-in Hillary lost her 7th straight contest to the only theoretically electable Vermont Don Quixote, Bernie Sanders. This was a week after it was reported in The Huff-Po that her campaign crew literally bought-and-paid for the entire 50-state smorgasbord of super-delegates who will supposedly compensate for Hillary’s inability to otherwise win votes the old-fashioned way, by ballots cast. Wonder why that didn’t make nary a ripple in the media afterward? Because this is the land where anything goes and nothing matters, and that’s really all you need to know about how things work in the USA these days.

The Republican mandarins are apparently delirious over loose cannon Donald Trump’s flagging poll numbers in the remaining primary states. Should Trump fall on his face, do you think they’ll just hand Ted Cruz the Ronald Reagan Crown-and-Scepter set. (They’d rather lock Ted in the back of a Chevy cargo van with five Mexican narcos and a chain saw.) The GOP establishment insiders are already lighting cigars in preparation for the biggest smoke-filled room in US political history, Cleveland, July 20. But what poor shmo will they have to drag to the podium to get this odious thing done? Who wants to be the guy in the Oval Office when Janet Yellen comes in some muggy DC morning and says, “Uh, sir (ma’am)… that sucker you heard was gonna go down…? Well, uh, it just did.”

As for the Dems: they are about to anoint the most unpopular candidate of our lifetimes. The BLM mobs have promised to deliver mayhem to the streets of the party conventions and don’t think they will spare Hillary in Philary, no matter how many chitlins she scarfed down last month in Carolina. The action in Philly will unleash and reveal all the deadly power of President Obama’s NSA goon squads when the militarized police put down the riots, and Hillary will be tagged guilty by association.

And that is how Kim Kardashian gets elected president.

I sold my Eastmain when I found out how much the CEO was making, treating the co like his personal cash cow. Getting rid of him is a great first step.

High-grade gold fight: Enter Integra

Integra Gold (ICG-V) has stepped into the Eastmain Resources (ER-T)-Columbus Gold (CGT-T) fray with an opportunistic $6-million financing contingent on Eastmain leadership changes — including a new interim CEO.

The deal comes a week and a half after Columbus came after Eastmain with its own board slate. Columbus CEO Robert Giustra says Eastmain’s Don Robinson has failed to unlock value at the flagship Eau Claire project in James Bay, Quebec — and the company’s other projects — despite 20 years of exploration work.

Columbus owns 2,675,000 Eastmain shares, a roughly 2% stake (pre-financing).

The agreement with Integra would see engineer Claude Lemasson — who has extensive Quebec experience with Goldcorp — step in as interim CEO.

Integra’s plan foresees keeping three Eastmain directors — Lemasson, Laurie Curtis and Michael Hoffman — and adding four more: Integra CEO Stephen de Jong, Integra chairman George Salamis, Blair Schultz and Timo Jauristo (ex-Goldcorp).

Integra will also have the right to nominate a director and participate in future financings, provided it maintains a 5% shareholding in Eastmain.

Eastmain announced an additional private placement of 50-cent flow-through shares and 35-cent units, taking the total raised to $11.13 million. The money will go to advancing Eau Claire, according to Eastmain’s NR, and the CEO change was part of a “previously planned” succession plan. Lemasson has been an Eastmain director since November.

The Eastmain-Integra defence gives Integra an important toehold in Eastmain, not to mention skin in the game. It addresses one of Columbus’s complaints about Eastmain — Don Robinson’s leadership — but not Giustra’s beef that the company is neglecting its other projects, including Eleonore South. The latter project is a JV with Goldcorp and Azimut, but Eastmain is operator.

The Eleonore South project is adjacent to Goldcorp’s Eleonore mine (acquired from Andre Gaumond’s Virginia Mines) and has seen no drilling since 2010. Recent discoveries in the area — including 12.08 g/t Au over 20.3 metres by Sirios Resources — have generated a buzz. So the Goldcorp background of those taking centre stage at Eastmain is interesting.

Eastmain shares rose about 8.7%, to 50 cents, in early trading this morning. The company has 134 million shares out for a market cap of roughly $71 million.

It’s a bit of a silver lining for Robinson, who seems to be finished as Eastmain CEO regardless of the outcome of the proxy fight. He owns a 2%-plus stake in the company and purchased 100,000 shares at 35 cents on March 14.

Obama Announces Unexpected Meeting With Yellen Following Tomorrow’s “Expedited Procedures” Fed Meeting

“In the afternoon, the president will meet with Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen to discuss the state of the American and global economy, Wall Street reform, and the long-term economic outlook; the vice president will also attend.”

Buygold, like you I check the dollar price of gold every Sunday afternoon when

Posted by Equisetum @ 18:56 on April 10, 2016  

Kitco starts posting the price. Long ago I got used to a drop of 2:00 or 2:20 or 2:50 in the posted price of gold in the few minutes after Kitco begins posting the Sunday afternoon price. I said to Mrs. Equiz about 45 minutes ago that something seems different this Sunday afternoon. All I can be sure of is that it is a lovely spring day here at the edge of Puget Sound. And your Sunday afternoon graph of POG hints that there could be a game on for the dollar cost of an ounce of gold. Cheers.

Game on?

…………. when big business was granted permission to bribe every member of Congress. Call it campaign contributions or whatever, it’s still a bribe. Now it’s a hell of a crooked mess that needs cleaned up, and the only way to clean it up is to first take money out of the equation by removing Big Money’s right to bribe, then remove every crooked Congressman who has taken those bribes. and lastly put in representatives who want to straighten out this cesspool of corruption for the good of America, not for their own enrichment……..and a good starting place is to get rid of Otraitor and his Cabinet and every one of his executive orders. But that’s just a start. The Cesspool needs pumped dry and made squeaky clean, and a leader that has America’s best interests at heart needs elected. IMO this is America’s last chance. Don’t blow it America!!

While you are putting some fiat currency into purchase of more physical silver, also check into the idea of keeping some investment in equities of Americas Silver, Endeavour Silver, First Majestic, Silver Wheaton, Sandstorm, and McEwen Mining. No guaranteed outcome for investing this way, but to me the prospects seem promising. Cheers. Equiz.

CLIVEN BUNDY’S SON FORCED TO SIT IN HIS OWN WASTE WHILE IN THE CUSTODY OF THE FBI
During an interview with John B Wells, Mel Bundy’s wife tells of the horrific conditions her husband was forced to endure after he was arrested.

Forty fully armed men came to his job site that day dressed as construction workers who never identified themselves as FBI, even while they were beating him. For almost two full days Mel Bundy was forced to sit in a room with no bathroom, covered in his own urine, feces, and vomit. During that time Mel Bundy was offered a slice of stale bread to sustain him. When they finally did bring him a meal on the third day, he was forced to eat it on the floor “like a dog” according to his wife.

IS this what we have become? What does this say about us as a people? About our culture? Where is the outrage? This is an election year with one of the worse miscarriages of justice in our history and not one candidate — NOT ONE — will come to the defense of these men and women and demand that at the very least, they be treated humanely?!!

Let this sink in — THEY BEAT HIM — LOCKED HIM IN A ROOM — WHERE HE SAT COVERED IN HIS OWN URINE — FECES & VOMIT — FOR TWO FULL DAYS. HE WAS NOT ALLOWED A SHOWER — HE WAS NOT ALLOWED CLEAN CLOTHING — HE WAS OFFERED A SLICE OF STALE BREAD TO EAT — AND WHEN THEY FINALLY DID ALLOW HIM FOOD HE WAS FORCED TO EAT ON THE FLOOR!!

Too much reliance on things that will never help, not enough action taking on our parts. Don’t blame only the government. Blame ourselves for allowing things to go this awry……..”– Jonathan Bailey
