Jim Willie – Golden Accumulation Opportunity

Actually, the golden opportunity is for buying silver at current prices. The motive for lifting the USDollar was the gargantuan $115 billion in USTreasurys offered this week. With bond yields rising from gargantuan supply, the USGovt and USDept Treasury and USFed did not wish to have both bond principal values fall and the USDollar fall. So the maestros engineered a meager semi-lifeless US$ rally, and a full 100-cent silver price discount. The claim again came that the bond auction bid/cover was strong at over 3:1 ratio. But 1.0 of that comes from the primary dealers who are bound to bid. The rest came in majority from foreign central banks. Same Modus Operandi by the Usual Suspects. The difference is that precious metals were taken down in price, using the typical shorting of futures contracts sponsored and endorsed by the USGovt, free of collateral regulatory requirements. Heck, we could all bring down the price of cotton, and make boxer shorts (jockeys too) cheap, if we all were permitted to sell in gargantuan quantities without benefit of cotton in possession. Now is yet another opportunity to gather in gold, and especially silver, at a hefty price discount. The silver price after some stabilizing days will be ready for a serious assault on the $20 price level. See the brief technical review later in this article. Read the rest of this entry »

Did GWB Ever Tell the Truth About 9/11?

3rd November, 2009

Thierry Meyssan started the international campaign that questioned the Bush version of the 9/11 attacks eight years ago. Today he recaps the issues for Odnako, a new Russian periodical but not before criticizing the media’s tight “iron curtain” around NATO member populations that isolates from the rest of world opinion. Under heavy media pressure, these populations still imagine that only fringe activists contest the official version of 9/11.
Meyssan also points up the gullibility of Westerners who believe the comic strip storyboard about how some 20 extremists could strike at the heart the world’s largest military empire.

Did you know, that the “Human caused Global Warming” hypothesis didn´t originate in the 1980s, but actually in the 1880s?
Although, until the late 1970s, the hypothesis was considered “a curiosity”, since it contradicted observed events.

One way and another, a resurgent Turkey is rewriting the rules of the power game in the Middle East, in a positive and non-confrontational manner. This is one of the few bright spots in a turbulent and highly-inflammable Middle East, says Patrick Seale.

Osama bin Laden Responsible for the 9/11 Attacks? Where is the Evidence?

2nd November, 2009

The idea that Osama bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 attacks has been an article of faith for public officials and the mainstream media. Calling it an “article of faith” points to two features of this idea. On the one hand, no one in these circles publicly challenges this idea.

Abdullah Abdullah’s refusal to take part in the Afghan presidential election runoff on November 7 is a watershed event. From his point of view, the former foreign minister did the sensible thing, having carefully assessed he had no stake whatsoever in a runoff that he had zero chance of winning.

The alarm has been sounded. Politicians, pharmaceutical executives and media conglomerates would have us believe that a 1918-style pandemic is a real threat. The 1918 pandemic, however, evolved out of conditions unique to World War I, for four specific reasons.

Thank your lucky stars to be alive on Earth at this time. Our planet is usually in a deep freeze. The last million years have cycled through Ice Ages that last about 100,000 years each, with warmer slivers of about 10,000 years in between.
