Interesting times have come to American politics, and it’s long overdue

From Liberty Blitzkrieg:

Dear Mr. President:

 

In response to partial release of the Department of Justice memos describing the underlying legal justifications for the targeted killings of American citizens and others in the course of counterterrorism operations, we are writing to emphasize Congress’ vital oversight role in these matters. Every American has the right to know the underlying legal rationale that ensures due process.

 

Authorizing the killing of American citizens and others has [...]

Own Physical Gold Now – While You Still Can!

“Farther from care than danger…”

The title above is a quote from Sir Thomas More’s classic, Utopia, describing a people’s overconfidence in their capacity for navigation given the compass for the first time.

I found the quote used by Stanley Jevons in his 1866 classic of another sort, The Coal Question. Jevons was writing about the physical limits to coal production, [...]

Possible imminent Eurozone collapse a game-changer for gold

Gold is currently in a protracted period of consolidation and expecting a break-out but it is unclear in which direction! Down to $1,525 or up to $2,000 + – or maybe first one then the other. Interesting times!

“Speak of the devil” is a common idiom, which in full is “Speak of the devil and he doth appear”.  In the same way one [...]

A dangerous bill heading toward the president would gut our rights

You know these are interesting times when Glenn Beck, Dianne Feinstein, Rand Paul and the ACLU all agree on an issue. The issue in question is Subtitle D of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), headed to the president’s desk. These under-the-radar provisions, co-sponsored by Senators John McCain and Carl Levin, would allow for the indefinite military detention of any person alleged to be [...]

In Private, Wall St. Bankers Dismiss Protesters

I have a relative who is a VP in Citigroup’s Greenwich St office. I asked him the other day what the OWS movement looks like to him. Here’s his reply:

“Honestly, it looks like a LOT of people unhappy with the labor situation in the US, trying to find someone to blame. The only common message I’ve heard from them is joblessness. ‘Nothing available after graduating college. Working [...]

If people aren’t mad enough to create constructive change already, well, that’s just too bad

by dcfusor

You know, there’s always a few tinfoil hat doomer and gloomers complaining that the Fed stinks, and the world’s going to end. In general they provide comic relief for those of us who prefer to think for ourselves.

What is scary is that some seriously good thinkers (like say, you) are now saying the same things. And I agree, and for the same reasons you think the same things.

When this [...]

Good morning, gang…………….from the beautiful Bulkley Valley, B.C.

We made it to our home in Smithers, the steelhead capital of the world, late last night to find that the rivers in the area are in fine shape! Not as much can be said for the market!

There is a vicious battle going on in the market between the forces of reality, versus the administration. “Bozo the Clown, Ben” spoke before congress yesterday afternoon and staunchly stood up to his [...]

Excellent read. Best on financial sense in months. A must read for anyone and all.

We are watching a monumental struggle for the market to finish up (or down), today but, look at the dollar. I dropped like a rock to under 84, came back and formed a cup and handle and then rose above that handle but, seems stuck just above the handle. I wrote an article about the “Signs” that we should be thinking about as we invest and prepare for the future. [...]
