There’s a very obvious way to handle that and I’m surprised/disappointed no one has done it. Fifteen? Really?
Gold is at 1447 and change.

I’ve been trying to change but I can’t.
Gold, however is in a stealth bull market. Bloomberg owns the Canadian business channel. All of the interviewers are absolutely silent on gold. It’s because of the banksters. They have been artificially depressing the price with derivatives. They pile on cheap paper, especially with the use of cheap options. There is one of those endless options expiry days tomorrow where the Goldman Sachs and fellow players usually take their rigged obscene profits. The jump today was likely the shorts going into panic and covering. Hubby will read LeMetropole tonight and see what rumors have been flying around.
Sovereign nations, especially China and Russia, have been snapping up tonnage for years. The Chinese are totally lying about how much they have as per usual. They have been merrily buying at artificially cheap prices. There’s one rumor that a large entity who is not supposed to be buying tonnage has been hoovering it up. Maybe some vampire like Black Rock. Or is it Blackstone? Both exist. World demand has exceeded supply for a long time, but things are going pear shaped largely because of ridiculous low interest rates. Biggest derivative game is interest rate derivatives. Remember the hushed LIBOR scandal where they sent a couple of middle management bankers to jail & issued a small fine to a Brit bank? Well the practice never stopped. Now that trade wars have been showing up, it reveals the damage of currency wars. Trump wants to keep the dollar low even as he yells ‘strong dollar’ or ‘new market highs’
It’s nothing to do with Trump, of course. This is the global black hole of debt that zerohedge talks about all the time. Any newsletter writer or fund manager worth their salt has been screaming for years. Check what Rickards has to say and let me know. Rickards is CIA and laid out the picture for this a long time ago. NOBODY is the financial msm dares to talk about gold. Now the European Central Bank just got Christine Legarde to head it. She’s a lawyer, not a trader or a banker. The endgame is in progress and gold and silver are the messengers that something is terribly wrong with the global monetary system.
They can wrestle the prices down again, but if Big Money blinked, then the Central Banks are all quaking. They are all in, like you say, deep kimchee anyways. (Don’t say “insolvent”) They are all tied into this together. The EU feeds off supressed interest rates. They have even gone negative again. What genius thought that one up? But people buy those bonds because they have no choices. For example, Government and other pension funds must buy a high percentage of gov’t bonds. It’s the law. These low rates kill the ability to pay out pension because they typically need c. 7% interest rates to make the ever growing number of retirees whole.
They ALL knew this was a problem. Greenspan was kicking that can down the road at the FED. There’s no solution except to print money like mad. The greedy bankers took all of the last bailout in 2008 and gave themselves bonuses instead of shoring up their assets and actually paying down debt.
You know all this, but a few here may not because they are too busy making a living to think about the psychopaths who manipulate the monetary system for their personal gain. This is not going away, even if gold and silver are held back again. I suggest that people take the free subscription to Martin Armstrong’s blog if they want daily updates on what/why/how. It’s unimaginably complicated. The PTB cannot allow the big banks to fail, so they will print paper and bail out the banks again. imho. This is really happening and they call it “uncharted waters” because that’s what it is.
This rumor for the jump in gold today is brought to you by the IMF.

HARRRR!! So somebody was/is jacking the price. With all the buying/hoarding Russia and China have been doing it should have gone up a long time ago – but didn’t. They’d love a rate cut, I know Trump has been bitching about it but this time I think he’s wrong. I think we need some room to move when things start slowing down (and I think we’ll see it in the next quarter if not the end of this)
LISTEN TO THIS.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_7ev2Jc4rM
It’s Greg Mannarino, successful day trader of options and ex Wall St. trader. He explains very clearly the worst money problem on Earth. He puts out at least 2 videos/day & tells his listeners what he is doing. He really doesn’t want people to suffer. His analysis is correct imo. He doesn’t mention gold and silver in this vid, but he believes they are the ONLY real money. Silver is likely affordable for most people. How far it will go and when it will rise unfolds day by day. The price is stupid cheap, but I do not reco it for everyone. That would be irresponsible. But it’s cheap and has industrial use for electronics, solar energy, and it’s a super natural anti bacterial
agent. Especially for burn care. The Chinese used to use it as money.
You may not agree with or like what he says, but you need to hear him out. Things are not what they appear to be.
@ eaglesoars:
I’ll take the other side of that bet. There will be a 25 basis point cut in interest rates the last day in July.
@ eaglesoars:
Yes I do agree they need room to fiddle with interest rates depending on quasi illusionary government stats. The Euro banks, some of them, are already negative. WTH do you do with that level of stupidity? Give us your money to hold and we promise to give you back most of it.

But they’ll probably let them in so they won’t be labelled an ‘apartheid state’.
@ eaglesoars:
I’m not a professional in this area, but yes. My understanding is that the decision is at the end of July. The FED keeps issuing blather talking points to distract us from what is really going on. The little people just look at the DOW (only 30 stocks)and think that it means something about the economy. I believe it has never been more divorced from the economy. Also remember that whenever you hear the word ‘bond’ you are not talking about anything besides DEBT. Bonds
are debt and that market is MUCH bigger than the equities markets.
That means I guess that everybody is holding the debt of other institutions, nations, companies. Like cwarrior says, “There’s a reason they stopped teaching Economics in high school.” We still wouldn’t understand such things without the internet.

Didn’t we talk about that? I remember asking not too long ago why all these troops were going to KSA and what they’d be doing. And altho nobody said the base was actually being re-established (actually I didn’t know it was shut down), it was fairly obvious that you don’t send those kinds of resources for a weekend exercise.

It all comes down to personal power in the end. Once the elites get a taste of serious power they will do anything to maintain their addiction. It really is the ultimate addiction. To hell with responsibility and mores and the needs of the folks. It comes down to enlarging the tent to the extent that one attempts to be all things to all people and you end up being nothing but an addict to power beret of principles.
The Aussie conservatives have a similar addiction to the baubles of power, to the extent that they prostitute themselves with policy just to get their power ‘fix’.
There is a lot of that sort of thing going around these days!

Correct.
You have obviously noted the ‘types’ of troops being deployed. They are not ground pounders. These guys are missilemen , engineers and HQ staffers with C3ISRC experience. Given they appalling Saudi efforts fighting the al Houthi and assorted Iranian surrogates in Yeman, it appears that the Pentagon has decided that in order to protect Saudi interests from Iran the US will have to do all of the heavy lifting!
The House of Saud is rotten from top to bottom and is incapable of defending itself, even with all of the masses of modern weapon systems it has at its disposal. In the end military prowess comes down to the man and the culture. Something is sadly lacking in the House of Saud. Maybe the Hashimites should be living in Saudi rather than Jordan. I think the Brits really picked the wrong horse when it picked the Saudis as the leaders of Sunni Islam.

Has it been appalling? I wondered, but there’s no way I could tell.

They’re high on that stupid drug all the time and the impression I had is that I could walk in there with a nail file and a blow dryer and have it done in about a week

For all the Saudi tech that they have purchased it seems that it is totally unsuited to a COIN war fighting in some else back yard.I do agree that the al Houthis are as smart as a bag of rocks but they do have raw materials and they can feed themselves as they own the productive mountains in Yemen. They are also VERY tribal even if that means that they have been marrying their cousins for the past thousand years. They feel put upon and they have been to some extent as they are not even ‘real’ Shi’a. They are a Shi’a cult with their own brand of Islam. With a single commercial port Northern Yemen should be very easy to isolate and just forget about. As far as I can ascertain the only thing of value that they produce is Frankincense and I’n not sure what the global demand for Frankincense is right now.
The Saudis made a strategic error early on in the Yemani war. They hired al Qaeda as their mercenaries to do the dying for them and that little arrangement went south VERY quickly as soon as al Qaeda got a whiff of power and real estate.
The best thing to do is just reinvent North Yemen and leave these in-bred bastards to fucking their cousins and their goats. Whatever takes their fancy! Trouble is that the Iranians would be in their like a robber’s dog to stir trouble on the Southern Saudi border.
As for South Yemen, I’d suggest that you reinstitute Marxism there again…. they really deserve it!

One other product was ‘thin’. Those REALLY BIG bottles of apple cider vinegar. It was hard to tell if it was a product issue or a restocking issue. And I don’t know what kind of apples are used for it, either so can’t talk about it. But it is notable that it was thin in all 3 stores.

The crops that seem to have taken a hit are corn and soybeans. And most of the corn is not the kind used for people food – it’s cattle feed. So look for MEAT prices to go up. Green beans aren’t grown in the areas that got hit with floods (mostly)
For veggies in general,most to least expensive, are fresh, frozen and canned. Any shortage is going to show up in fresh first I went back and looked at the photos in the article you posted and guess what
Corn, sweet peas, etc. – but ALL Del Monte in the pics. I checked USDA crop reports – didn’t see anything.
On the evidence as of now, this is a DEL MONTE issue. And that very well could be a trucker problem.

I don’t see anything but higher prices for everything. It’s what they call ‘cost push inflation. That’s different than too much money printing type of inflation. The scarcity of food supply drives the prices up. The supermarket wants to be competitive, but has to raise the prices to customers or it can’t make a profit. Up here we’ve had ‘shrinkflation’ where the price stays the same, but you get less of the product in the package.

Ah, from a few years ago, 2014, THIS is a very good read. He didn’t see Trump, but he saw SOMETHING in the near mists.
Bonus: If you’ve never encountered Subotai Bahadur,he shows up here in the comments(he shows up at Instapundit every once in awhile). He is the originator of TWANLOC, the subject of this piece.
Those Who Are No Longer Our Countrymen
The anger at the TWANLOC ruling class who appear responsible for bringing this about is building. When it will come to a full boil – in that the anger will be expressed in more than comments, editorials, blog-posts and radio-call in shows – and in response to what kind of provocation is anyone’s guess. The tinder is everywhere, and the gasoline is poured. All it lacks is the spark; something like the stand-off at the Bundy place earlier this year, someone responding with a weapon to being the almost-victim of a knock-out game, a spontaneous local protest blockading a place where illegal immigrants are being processed, as in California in the last few days … that will light the spark. Likely TWANLOCs will be surprised. Likely they will excuse themselves of any responsibility for creating the conflagration. But we won’t.
Instead of the conflagration, we got Trump. This time. In the immortal words of Schlichter “Trump isn’t OUR last chance. Trump is YOUR last chance.”

Other than Durden’s reporting in Zero Hedge has there been any other reporting on this story to confirm the details? I mentioned this story to some friends of mine and when Durden’s name came up they rolled their eyes heavenwards.
There needs to be confirmation for this to be taken seriously.

When EVERYTHING is seen through a political prism then nothing can be reported without attempts to destroy the subject being reported on.
Such is the totally polarised nature of the culture these days. Commentators seek not to report or even comment upon. They seek first to destroy.
I know that it’s a falorn hope but couldn’t sport and skill be commented upon, just for once?
Apparently not.
The response could be to just let the waves of hate wash over this story and forget it. Alternatively there could be a counter attack that seeks to destroy the commentator and strip him of his ability to make a living from his opinion making.
I’m sure that Silverman has some deep dark secret that he is keen to keep out of the public spotlight. Set up and ambush and drag his sorry arse through the mire and mock him until it hurts…. or just call him for what he is and don’t waste time on this excuse for a human being

How New York City Soccer Fans Are Fighting Fascism In The Stands
With the start of the new season, fans want to know what the team will do about the far-right extremists in their midst.

People are not paying attention. Nike is not an aberration. The New York Yankees no long play Kate Smith singing the Nat’l Anthem.
This kind of sludge=slinging is part of the reason. People don’t know how to stand up to it. I don’t know a thing about Silverman, but as ‘Silverman’ is not an Irish name, I’m guessing he’s either someone’s pet stooge or one of the useful idiots who got caught up in the Marxist fog and gets high on the virtue sniffing.
Meanwhile, there’s this:

Cut their turnover in half and break them on the wheel of the marketplace.
It really is as easy as that folks.
What’s so hard about that?
I’m puzzled. Kt’s that obvious.
Pretty soon corporate will realise that their ‘virtue signalling’ has a serious cost. A cost that could bankrupt their businesses.
About then they will get back to making stuff for sale and stop trying to show how politically showy they are.

Gateway Pundit has 3 Rashida Tlaib vids up. You’ve probably seen the 1st 2 but the 3rd is new. I can’t tell what she’s saying, but she sure is ugly

I have to go to bed. But I notice that NYC had another power failure. Can’t wait till they get rid of all their fossil fuel stuff and go all renewable. There won’t be any power to fail.

Mohammhead, the paranoid schizo, murdering, lying pedo had ‘anger issues.’ They have been copying him ever since. Consider religious founders like Buddha and Christ. They made sacrifices of themselves FOR others. Mohamhead made everybody sacrifice themselves FOR HIM.
It’s dangerous insanity.

On Lake Huron in Ontario, the winds were so vicious that there were waterspouts arising from the lake. ‘Green’ taxpayer windmills were not working. May the Green party peeps benefit directly from their stinking ideas. btw if giant oil companies had not bought up all the patents we would already have more energy development and choices. imo
