The “Domestic Terrorist” You Can Call a Hero

Posted on by

“Bernard von NotHaus has been the called the Rosa Parks of the alternative money movement. More than 10 years ago, he had this idea that he would make his own money — not the fake stuff we are used to, but the real stuff made of actual silver. The feds raided him in in 2006. In 2007, the government outright stole 2 tons of coins from him, many of them featuring an image of Ron Paul, plus 500 silver coins and 50 gold coins. They threw him in jail and dragged his name through the mud many times.  The government labeled him a ‘domestic terrorist.’ Yet — and this is what amazed me — he still hasn’t been sentenced. He walks around as free as you or me.”

FDR: Sowing the Seeds of Chaos

Posted on by

“The long-lasting imprint from FDR’s famous ‘Hundred Days’ did not stem from the bank holiday, national industrial recovery act, the farm adjustment act, the Tennessee Valley Authority, or the public works administration. Instead, it is lodged in the footnotes of standard histories; namely, FDR’s April 1933 order confiscating every ounce of gold held by private citizens and businesses throughout the United States. Shortly thereafter he also embraced the Thomas Amendment, giving him open-ended authority to drastically reduce the gold content of the dollar; that is, to trash the nation’s currency.”

Rebalance To Buffer Crises?

Posted on by

“Sovereigns may save themselves at the expense of citizens. Poland has withdrawn $37 billion in government holdings from national pension funds to pay down sovereign debt. Its markets dropped 4.8% the day the news hit. Given relative GDP size, a similar take here would be north of $1 trillion and laws have been prepared to bail-in major banks. Many cities already are bankrupt and pension funds are at risk as pensioneers and bond holders battle over the remains. Those who buy the official narrative are riding in a ticker-tape parade on which Central Banks are showering confetti. When the dreamers awake, they will be looking at a demonic jack-o-lantern.”

Gold And Silver Safe Haven Status Displayed

Posted on by

“The era of stable bond prices and stable income disappeared six years ago and is unlikely soon to return. Another storm-maker is the debate on the debt-ceiling which like many things is now hidden by the cloud of dust the government has chosen to make over Syria. Only four years ago the Secretary of State dined amicably with the latest ‘Hitler,’ Bashir Assad and his wife. That datum is pertinent to markets because it indicates the often irrational and shifting agendas of our diplomatic – financial echelons. Recognizing this allows one to adopt a defensive position and select growth areas.”

Polish Gold to be Repatriated?

Posted on by

The-Circle-Bastiat-311

“Poland currently owns around 109 tons of gold deposited abroad. Most of the reserves are stored in the UK.  In the face of financial crisis, every major country should keep gold within easy reach.  Therefore, the Polish gold should return to their homeland – say the initiators of the ‘Give Us Our ​​Gold’.  The vast majority of Polish gold reserves are currently at the Bank of England, and went there before the Second World War.  In order to put pressure on the Polish National Bank, advocates have launched an action entitled. ‘Give Us Our gold’.  Among the partners are the Mises Institute of Poland.  Organizers cite the example of Germany, which has decided to bring its provisions into the country.”

‘Like the end of a dream’: Family finds $300K in gold off Florida coast

Posted on by

“A Florida family of self-described treasure hunters brought home the proverbial big score on Monday after recovering gold and jewelry estimated to be worth about $300,000, the Orlando Tribune reported.  The collected haul — five gold coins, a gold ring and 64 feet of gold chain — has been traced back to a Spanish fleet of ships that was almost completely destroyed off of the Florida coast in July 1715 by a freak hurricane. The storm is blamed for the deaths of 1,000 people, and the region, located off the coast of Fort Pierce, is known as the Treasure Coast.”

Bill Bonner: When Gold Will Really Start to Glitter

Posted on by

“After telling readers how awful it was, now the mainstream press is back to neutral on gold. Barron’s recently ran an article titled ‘Gold Regains Its Glitter’.  Markets make opinions. Gold is up about 17% from its June low. Opinions on it are becoming more favourable.  But you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. The central banks of the major developed economies are engaged in massive debt monetization (aka ‘QE’).  If they all start to taper their bond buying, they risk resurrecting the calamity they’re trying to avoid – a deflationary depression (at least in their minds). So, they’ve got to keep going. The markets…and the economy…depend on it.  You wanna see something really glitter? Just wait! ”

Goldman Sachs Buys Gold; Tells Public to Sell

Posted on by

“Gold declined sharply in early April. That’s when Goldman Sachs issued a “sell” signal Then Goldman began quietly to buy shares of GLD, the ETF for gold. It now owns 3.7 million shares.  It looked like a great call. The rubes who believed the report shorted gold. They made money. Briefly. Gold continued downward, bottoming at $1192 in on June 28.  Meanwhile, Goldman was buying gold all the way down. Now gold is around $1400, and Goldman is sitting on a pile of shares of GLD, bought at rock-bottom prices. Watch what they do, not what they say.”

Alaskan gold miners cry foul over ‘heavy-handed’ EPA raids

Posted on by

“When agents with the Alaska Environmental Crimes Task Force surged out of the wilderness around the remote community of Chicken wearing body armor and jackets emblazoned with POLICE in big, bold letters, local placer miners didn’t quite know what to think.  Did it really take eight armed men and a squad-size display of paramilitary force to check for dirty water? Some of the miners, who run small businesses, say they felt intimidated.  Others wonder if the actions of the agents put everyone at risk. How is a remote placer miner to know the people in the jackets saying POLICE really are police?”

Gold and Syria

Posted on by

google-search-header2

“We are confronting authoritarians with such an appetite for power that they become afraid to wield it for fear of losing it.  It is a subject fit for a Dostoevsky or Shakespeare. It was a cause for rejoicing when the British Parliament refused the Queen’s Prime Minister authority to let slip the dogs of war on Syria.  It was the first such refusal since 1782 when, incidentally, Parliament voted down further war against the rebellious American colonies. It will be a welcome sign of a dawning realization that the U.S. Empire has exhausted itself financially and in folly if the House refuses to pass Obama’s Syrian war resolution. But if it does approve another front in the U.S. Mideast war, buy gold with both hands.”
