Three nasty examples of how people lost the gold they owned…
TODAY’S chatter in the trading rooms says some gold owners fear a punitive US tax hike in New Year 2013, with the Obama government targeting precious-metal investors.
Hence this month’s sell-off (or so the tittle-tattle says) – akin to the move by Japanese households to sell gold in late 2011 [...]
The infamous city of Scanton, PA has had financial troubles for a couple of decades – losing population since the end of WWII – but as NPR reported this weekend, the $16.8 million budget gap that Mayor Chris Doherty is trying to fill (and the disagreements between his taxation proposal and the city council’s borrow-more-money view) has driven the mayor to an incredible action. Doherty has reduced everyone’s pay – [...]
The day after the Pentagon revealed the unaccountability of trillions of $$s in the DOD budget we had 9-11. Was the Pentagon budget used to fund the operations of NATO/CIA operation GLADIO? GLADIO, the stay behind secret governments through out the world used to counter and distabilize the communist threats since the end of WWII.
It has recently been revealed through the investigations of several soverign nations that GLADIO operatives used [...]

AMERICA’S DEPENDENCY ON MIDDLE EAST OIL
…Given an ever-increasing demand for oil, because of its[America's] “addiction”, and given its limited domestic sources of crude oil, the U.S. will remain dependent on imported oil well into the future. U.S. policymakers, by their past and present actions since the end of WWII in pursuing this addiction, have apparently concluded that the nation’s interest in oil and other ‘strategic’ resources outweighs the nation’s avowed values [...]
Richard Russell, writer of the Dow Theory Letters, is just looking for the right time to buy stocks.
But that time isn’t now. And until that time comes, Russell will be keeping his wealth in gold.
He writes in King World News:

Financial Troubles For Many Nations In The New Year
2012 is going to be quite a year with falling economies in the UK, Europe, the US, China, Japan and the remainder of Asia. Latin America, and Mexico by comparison should fare fairly well overall. England is in a death spiral. Europe is next, the US is not far behind and China and Japan will soon join the disjoined group. We [...]
“The laws that express the relation between matter and energy [thermodynamic laws], govern the rise and fall of political systems, the freedom or bondage of societies, the movements of commerce and industries, the origin of wealth and poverty, and the general physical welfare of a people.” – Frederick Soddy 1911

Every System Has a Driver
And it isn’t ideology.
The system in question is the global economic system that has been increasingly based on consumption [...]
I’ve read a great deal on this, and it just does not fly in the sense proponents wish to believe and argue.
