Chechens?

"From Monday when I first heard of the bombs I was certain that 'the terrorists' would turn out to be with the Provisional wing of the IRA (being Boston and such), with their cell headed by a burly red-head named Paddy O'Furniture. But Chechens are just as befuddling and obscure to the masses and will provide the evil Muslim angle to dangle before the blood-thirsty wolves and the complaisant sheep that still pay attention to the regime's mainstream media disinformation brigade. We are truly living out the script for V for Vendetta, complete with constant false-flag terrorist incidents and militarized police thugs, all geared to enhance fear and government repression."

SWAT Army Occupies Boston

"What is particularly relevant here, and chilling from my point of view, is an observation Jeff Snyder makes in his powerful book, 'Nation of Cowards.' Snyder talks about the change that takes place, that must take place, in the psyche of a person who is protected by others as a matter of routine. He accepts that protection in exchange for some portion of his own sense of personal responsibility. As a result, he can often be more easily controlled by those protectors. We're well on our way."

"Obummer hasn't let the fact that Congress stymied his evisceration of the Second Amendment to daunt him. 'Even without Congress,' this shameless dictator confessed [emphasis added], 'my administration will keep doing everything it can to protect more of our communities.' 'The Health and Human Services Department on Friday was beginning to ask for public comment on how the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, passed by Congress in 1996 and known as HIPAA, is preventing some states from reporting to the background check system and how to address the problem.' Obummer has vowed to 'fix' that 'problem.'" Continue reading

"The U.S. Mint in April has sold 153,000 ounces of American Eagle gold coins, the highest in almost three years, after futures prices started the week by plunging the most since 1980, moneynews.com reports.

This week, retail sales and jewelry demand soared in India, the world’s top gold buyer, and China, the second-biggest, after futures in New York slumped into a bear market, touching the lowest in more than two years. Coin sales also surged in Australia." Continue reading

Military Judge Took 4 Days To Determine Torture Is Legal

"Here is a gem on page 38 from Lt Col Diane Beaver, Staff judge Advocate for the man in charge of interrogation at Guantanamo: 'Concerning the use of techniques that technically were considered torture by the UCMJ that she approved. Her excuse was that she was only given 4 days to think about it, didn’t have access to much in terms of books or research, and wanted to get something in writing.'" Continue reading

Gold Down, What Now?

"Generally, after a stark price correction like this, you will tend to see a prompt rally, followed by another bout of weakness, testing the prior bottom. This should play out over the next few weeks, which will pave the way for an excellent entry or re-entry point to stock up on gold. It is important to note that, in my view, you can wait and watch gold calmly. There is no need to rush (back) in. Gold negativity is very high and it will take time to pick up momentum. But you should certainly not wait too long. Fundamentally, all of the reasons that made gold an ever more attractive asset over the past years are still fully in place, and increasingly so."

Gold’s Black Market?

"Have investors really lost faith? We read that gold demand in Asia and India remains very strong and informal reports from gold buyers (for physical gold) seem to indicate that it is difficult to buy gold at any price. Silver, not much better. One explanation for this would be that the paper market and the physical market are diverging. The paper market, according to those who see this crash as manipulated, is easy to push down. The physical market might reject these manipulations were it a mark-to-market operation. But it is not. The physical price of gold is apparently fixed twice a day by a consortium of wise men." Continue reading

Central Bankers Admit They Are Flying Blind

"Growing concern at the International Monetary Fund over the long-term side-effects of interest rates close to zero came as some of the leading figures in central banking conceded they were flying blind when steering their economies. It is troubling for monetary policy experts that their crisis-fighting tools - rates stuck at zero, money printing operations to bring down longer-term interest rates and encourage private sector spending, and efforts to calm financial market fears - might have nasty side-effects. The central bankers were clear that they had got it wrong before the crisis, lulled into thinking they had eliminated financial vulnerabilities." Continue reading
