Round em up and send em home. Stick the.politicians on the diseased planes as well and give em all one way tickets back to the middle east.
If they don't want to leave sick those canines on them. If the politicians that created this mess don't want to leave charge them with crimes against humanity and throw them in jail.
Then Germany can leave the European Union
Probably but one federal judge can stop this butt cold assuming it's even true and not just propaganda. RNC lawyers judicial watch etc I'm sure are all over this if there's any real substance to it.
I can see our Coward in Chief saying "seriously I have to move out what happened to martial law"
Sorry Barry the law doesn't work that way here but I understand why your confused as you have not gotten anything right in 8 years ;)
Those hacks couldn't protect a hen house just like they couldn't protect the IRS the DNC the State Department the CBO etc etc etc from Cyber Intrusion.
"If you like your candidate you can still vote for your candidate"

But HRC has a plan being the cyber security expert she is. Military response lol that crazy bat couldn't find her own car keys while the engine is running.
“As president, I will make it clear that the United States will treat cyberattacks just like any other attack,” the Democratic presidential nominee said. “We will be ready with serious political, economic and military responses.”
Clinton called for the U.S. to “lead the world in setting the rules in cyberspace.”
“If America doesn’t, others will,” she said.
The remarks, given during a foreign policy speech at the American Legion Convention in Cincinnati, address one the central challenges the Obama administration has faced in responding to cyberattacks.
Without any international rules of engagement, officials must weigh a response to each attack individually — with the result being that the White House has often been accused of not having an adequate deterrence strategy.
Critics say that a lack of policy has muted government responses to incidents such as the massive hack of the Office of Personnel Management, which Chinese hackers are believed to have carried out."

Maybe the UN realized this was an arrogant and radically stupid plan as the worlds best hackers live with their parents and are not easily traceable?
Another foolish strategy designed by a bunch of aged out hacks. Shut down the internet lol OK!
January 1 2016 eh? That's a bad price of propaganda
I like him he's an unorthodox Capitalist that lives in the real world. Started 21 companies the majority failed but had parabolic success with the others.
He has a 1 page outline in the form of a poster that illustrates the necessity and strategy of how to reinvent ones self every 7 years. Worth a look imo
Any rate increase will have to be followed with another round of QE. However I believe this is the last bullet the Fed has and they will not use it until there's no where else to go.
Might be December could be 2017 imo
What's up Lowjack a little birdy just whispered in my ear and recommended I take a look at this. "Tweety" so far has been all aces on his recommendations but I gotta be honest the name sounds like a damn whiskey I just out of this evening.
Its good to see ya here I'm gonna dig around and see what's what. Be well my friend
Yes they do and monetary systems change every 40 years roughly and this one is way over due. Once the Yield Purchasing Power is exhausted from the $USD the IRAs 401ks will dry up since there won't be a way to lever up and the piper will have finally been paid.
Those Americans will then work for Goldman or some other clown show disguised as an employer that cares. I hope it doesn't go down like this but if it does I plan to do my part to help rebuild society if I am able.
Solawinski????
"If Trump wins, the left goes full terror
As I've publicly predicted numerous times over the last year, if Donald Trump wins, the radical extreme leftists go on a violent rampage that leads to the rest of us begging for martial law. After half a dozen cities burn with riots and looting, Trump invokes a national emergency, deploying National Guard troops across the most devastated urban areas, and the radical left finds itself in a shooting war with the government."
If Trump and his Justice Department take the cuffs off local and state law enforcement this won't be a problem imo. The radical left is made up of dumb kids and a handful of Anarchists being paid to stir the pot. Remove the Anarchists and the kids will go home because they are not soldiers and they have never been confronted by SWAT team that is allowed to properly enforce the law. Giuliani did it with NYC and the LEOs of today are tired of being shot at and mocked only to stand down in fear of retaliation from both the AG and the Coward in Chief.
I do agree with the author on a HRC win and let's pray that doesn't transpire
I believe that. You should check out the book "This Town" it's a real eye opener too. It's taking me a while to get through it because my blood pressure begins to elevate after just a few pages of reading but it's very interesting.
Saw today the Pentagon spent $100M on strippers bar tabs and nightclubs. Meanwhile our private industries are regulated to the nth degree and in some cutting out entertainment all together. Otherwise they won't be able to do business with the Federal Government.
It's truly unbelievable and it makes me wanna go out and run for Congress...not really! My old roommate is the Chief of Staff for a Congressman (I'm not gonna say which) but he's a pretty smart guy and did well in the private sector before moving to DC.
We had dinner about a year and a half ago and spent some time catching up. I asked him his thoughts on these political hacks and lifers that don't seem to want to step down after a couple few terms. He truly didn't understand how they got there because many of them are not very intelligent....his words. However when the only standing rule is "hands off the interns" but insider trading is ok I probably wouldn't want to leave either.
I love my country more than anything but damn I really can't stand this town anymore.
Next week will be the first week back from summer vacation and the volume should kick up. The question is what the heck does that mean? Sell in May and go away didn't seem materialize this summer unless our friendly neighborhood bots and algo's decided to step up and hold down the proverbial fort
Yup your right I discounted the energy plays. Thanks for the clarification
SPY has been deep in the red most of the day but the mining indexes are up 3-5%. If the mining sector was up due to a weak dollar wouldn't the S&P have been green today as well?
Don't you think the price of gold today has something to do with it? There was a day when I could support that argument but I just don't know anymore.
It is an honest question. FFMGF
Congress is allowed to trade invest on insider information. A couple years back they passed a law forbidding it but then immediately after they passed another one that reverses the law.
This was after the press conference. Unbelievable ain't it?
Fair enough it looked like one to me but I don't spend a lot of time charting anymore. But yes they are or could be loading zones if one can time these dips with dry powder. BAA
I read somewhere the US congress bullied the GAAP officials into making the change.
The Derivative trades in question are likely fraudulent due to the in appropriate value placed on them imo. If they were to mark these assets to the market rather than to the model it would likely start an unfavorable chain reaction and downward spiral in certain markets.
The irony is it's completely "legal" in the US as of a few years ago when the accounting standards were changed over night.
I don't know for sure but that would be my guess based on the information in the article. Thanks for sharing
Exactly. Makes one ponder the design and strategy of Western retirement vehicles their restricted access and regulation.
I heard one can buy phyzz with their IRA but it has to be stored by a designated 3rd party. Like buying Credit Degault Swaps as insurance but there's only 1 company that underwrites them?

I think he's referring to the gap at or around $1250
Yep that one is doozy Rainer especially the 1:1 gold paper ratio DB is up against
Dude everything you post is speculative at best with absolutely no specifics. I suppose you think geology and mining is just liquor and guessing?
Your posts are entertaining but informative substantive and specific they are not. FFMGF
Hey Profit I agree and it will be revised down as all these metrics always are. To your point GDP is calculated by the credit expansion of this so called of House of Funny Money.
We don't actually make anything here in the US with the exception of a few industries left I.e. Defense some Pharmaceuticals few others etc. We did a great job gutting the automotive and the energy sector. CapEx in oil is down very down and this inventory won't last forever.
Until oil prices rebound in $USD NatGas gets sidelined which makes this economy longer term dependent on Canada and the Middle East.
Don't get me started on steel as that's an entirely different dog with fleas....it's very sad because we could probably go on and on and on...
Johnson is a nice thought but we need a hard hitting Executive to do the heavy lifting for a few years. It's gonna get worse before it gets better...it has to because it always does.
Tell your friend he's a good American and that this too shall pass. We as a society have cycled too far from where most Americans prefer to be and the corrupt media is pretty much out of political bullets. I predict Trump wins by a landslide assuming the RICO operators don't inflict too much carnage onto our electoral process.
Nice write up btw please pass along my compliments to the author
Very true and after years of fear mongering folks have established their positions or they never will. Once the velocity of the $USD kicks up dollar chasers won't be able to run fast enough to get away from them
What your saying is your the reason the spot price dropped last night? Even a screenshot wouldn't entice the CFTC to take action if it were true.
Sorry Charlie I don't think anyone here cares but maybe you can find some poor sucker to get a rise out of. Maybe not
Got Phyzz???
That's fair and to your point he is a change agent of sorts and he's trying to sell books. However I do find the information to be beneficial once it's rolled up into the aggregate (Aunt Jemima)
FFMGF
It's an outlet for information and nothing more. I spend a lot of time researching half baked truths in our economy and global monetary system.
There's a lot of cooks out there but he is not one of them imo
Grandma needs to listen to this man because I promise he is better informed than even Aunt Jemima and that is a rarity in my travels. If grandma doesn't know who he is maybe a research assignment is warranted.
Rickards: ‘You Won’t Believe What My Swiss Gold Contact Just Told Me…’
Jim Rickards August 24, 2016
Publisher’s note: Gold is going up. And so are gold stocks. Evolution Mining is up 86% this year. Newcrest Mining is up 83%. Regis Resources is up 74%. Northern Star Resources is up 69%.
There are two ways to look at what’s happened to gold this year:
A correction is due. A healthy wariness regarding ‘bubbles’ is one of our founding principles here at Port Phillip Publishing. So this should not be discounted outright.
Or, the alternative:
What you’re witnessing is exactly what Jim Rickards has predicted for the last two years: The beginnings of a historic gold super-spike.
Which is it?
Well, you’ll find evidence for the second point in spades in Jim Rickards’ The New Case for Gold.
I defy you to get to the end of it unconvinced that something massive and unprecedented is about to occur in the bullion market. And that share valuations for gold stocks ALREADY at or near historical highs is a mere amuse bouche for a golden main course about to be served up to smart investors who make the right moves now.
What moves? You’ll find out the personal strategies Jim has used to inoculate his own portfolio in your own Special Edition copy of The New Case for Gold.
There’s still one earmarked for you. But not for long. The run on these books has taken us by surprise. They will almost certainly be gone by the end of next week. To find out more about reserving your personal mailed copy, click here.
Below, Jim delves into where the true gold shock is likely to come from in 2017 (and it’s not what most people expect…)

The Coming Gold Panic Will Come from One of These Triggers
By Jim Rickards in Baltimore, Maryland, US
The market has the technical setup for the greatest gold shock in history. When it rocks markets, gold will soar — ultimately to US$10,000 if my full thesis plays out. But most gold investors won’t be happy when it does. In fact, most gold investors will face big losses when gold reaches that price. And most of the people who want to get hold of the physical metal won’t be able to.
I was recently in Switzerland, where I met with my secret gold contact. I call him ‘Goldfinger’ to protect his identity. He’s one of the most plugged-in men in the gold industry. He meets with the heads of the world’s largest refineries…some of the highest-level bankers…finance ministers…gold dealers…and central bankers. He also controls tens of millions of dollars in physical gold.
‘Goldfinger’ knows why this gold shock is coming better than anyone else because of his first-hand knowledge of the gold market. He sees it playing out in front of his eyes.
What will trigger this gold shock? First, let me tell you what it won’t be…
Most people believe the gold shock could start if a large institution with a paper claim for a lot of physical gold demanded delivery of that gold. The story goes: There’s not enough physical gold to back up all of the paper gold. So, therefore, if a large player demands enough physical gold, that order won’t be filled. And a gold panic would ensue.
But the gold shock that’s coming will almost certainly not come from any of the large gold market participants. This surprises many people when I tell them that. But consider a hedge fund that’s long gold futures. Why would that hedge fund start a buying panic in the physical gold market by taking delivery of physical metal?
And if a large hedge fund is thinking of taking a large enough delivery of physical gold to cause a panic, they’ll probably hear from their lawyers. And those lawyers are going to advise against it, because it would put the hedge fund in the crosshairs of the Justice Department or a Commodities Future Trading Commission (CFTC) investigation.
Smaller market participants can ask for delivery of physical metal if they own gold futures without causing a problem. But if too many request delivery, the powers that be can change the rules very quickly. They could work to make it illegal.
The US government can decide they’re not a normal gold trader, but a manipulator. Manipulation is illegal. The feds can paint them as a mini-version of the Hunt brothers, who tried to corner the silver market in 1980.
That may sound farfetched, because there has been tons of manipulation on the short side of gold. If manipulation is illegal, why doesn’t the Justice Department simply go after the gold shorts?
The likely answer: Because the biggest gold short is China, and they’re beyond our jurisdiction.
Nobody thinks the FBI is going to investigate Chinese gold manipulation. China is the second largest economy in the world, and a sovereign nation. And maybe the Fed doesn’t mind if the price of gold has a lid on it anyway. So we won’t see anti-manipulation enforcement against the gold shorts.
Or take another example of a large player in the gold market. A large ‘local’ broker on the floor at major futures exchanges or commodity exchanges makes money every time a gold contract expires.
They sell the current month’s gold contract, while buying the next month’s gold contract. That’s called ‘contango’ — which is just a fancy way of saying that the price of gold delivery in the future is higher than the price of gold now. If gold is in contango, a trader can keep executing the same type of trade and profiting over and over again.
Now, that broker can use those gains to fund other trading activities. So why on Earth would they want to blow up the gold market by causing a panic? The broker’s making money on the gold trade, and has every incentive to keep the game going.
The paper gold market is comprised of banks, local traders at the exchanges, and hedge funds. All three of them are ‘dis-incentivised’ to cause a panic in the gold market. The locals are making steady profits, as are the banks, and the hedge funds are being told by the lawyers that they could go to jail if they demand a large gold delivery. No large player in this market is looking to produce chaos.
So, if the large players aren’t going to cause the coming shock, what will? What will be the snowflake that triggers the avalanche? It could be many things…
It could be the bankruptcy of a medium-sized commodities broker, like MF Global, which went bankrupt in 2011. That type of medium-sized firm could suddenly go bankrupt and fail to make a delivery. It’s one thing if JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs want to call a halt on the whole game. But it’s another thing if some medium-sized dealer that no one’s heard of suddenly can’t make a delivery.
That firm’s customers will then all rush at once into the physical market with a massive order. They need to cover the firm’s failure to deliver. And that sets off the panic.
The trigger could also be a geopolitical shock. It could also be an assassination, a suicide of an important player, or a natural disaster.
But aside from these possibilities, I’m eyeing one particular trigger that I believe is most likely to start the avalanche…
It’s coming very soon. When this trigger is pulled and the gold panic starts, it’ll run out of control very quickly. Gold prices will soar to heights no one thought possible just a short time ago. The US dollar will plummet against gold. And very few people will be able to get their hands on gold when they need it most.
That’s why you need to understand what’s about to happen, so you can prepare.

Trump accepts gold as lease payments in his buildings. He used to talk it about before he announced his candidacy. Don't know man the majority of countries allow their citizens to buy and sell gold without a luxury tax so long as it stays in the country.
Currently the US has a luxury tax and you are almost always required to secure it with a "3rd Party" due to 401ks and IRAs etc minus cash buyers. Here's the kicker less than 1% of Americans actually hold phyzz the last I checked.
The RMB is being added to the SDR basket in October and now there's talk of gold backed Chinese bonds.
If you were Trump with all the Intel and saw this writing on the wall what would you do?
Companies like this one that have proven and economically viable assets in the ground will get get bid up fast. To your point there are already private holdings being re-hypothecated to support the leveraged books of others.
If folks don't want to hold physical metal then imo companies like this are the next best thing. It's all about the risk profile of the investor but this opportunity won't come around again for a long time.
Thanks for the effort cents it's very much appreciated. FFMGF
Then I guess your sitting this one out my friend. The ultimate trade is going to be when wealth finally moves from paper to physical assets.
Too much paper gold and silver chasing too few bars
Good! Learn about this company and voice your opinion as I think its good for everyone. The miners have yet to see a bidding war on available depoaits . The pog will keep going up and there's not a lot to go around.
It's on my watchlist and its public. Again no due diligence
