Mother Earth
You have offended American Spam laws
149 years in Madoff’s cell

HAR HAR!!!
Gold is not going to crack $1000 in 2009
(of course, October is still a few months away)
after all
it is a strategically controlled commodity….
what affects its price?
(Kitco say $944.10 as I write this… up $6.80)
@signor donutti
Going against Marc Faber is risky..
The taxhaven war comes on top of all the other stuff. The US is making it seem it is a bad place to have you money. What happens if people move their gold to London or Switzerland, now the arch enemy of the US?
@ME .. “US Citizens … up to 10 years after leaving”
Hi Mother Earth,
I agree … it is absolutely disgusting IMO that a Govt. treats “anyone” like that. It also looks to me like if they can’t ram patriotism down the (so called) patriots’ throats, then they’ll shove it up their ….. !
Remember that old game called “Sim City”, where if you raised taxes too high, all the citizens run away ?..
… really cute to see all those little figures leaving the cities screaming !
Also, that old Patrick McGoohen ( R.I.P.) series “The Prisoner” comes to mind.
Maybe all “workers” should go back to “localization” and bartering between villages and see how long the Federal Govt. survives with no money.
Oops, I suppose that was a “hate post” … is it law yet ?
BTW .. just for information :
I Brit (finance) guy I know is now living in Transylvania.
He runs a website from there.
He called me yesterday and told me his electricity bill is ca. 20 Euros per month, food is cheap – roughly 1/5th. of German prices.
FWIW
@Mother Earth
I’m going against Marc Faber???
HOLY FUCK !!!
I HAVE SINNED!!!!
I didn’t think I was more pessimistic than him…
damn…
I do feel shame now
(I blame it on the whisky….the beer is finished…)
(I know I know….
Liquor before beer, Never fear…
Beer before Liquor, never sicker….
but I don’t seem to get hangovers…. unless I’m in Italy)
Ok…
Gold goes to London or the Swiss…
hmmm….
so…
a piece of metal is transferred…
transport and storage costs ….
hmmmmm
that would increase its intrinsic value, sure…
HOWEVER,
I don’t recall Faber calling for gold to crack $1000 this year…
he is a LONG RANGE forecaster like Jimmie Rogers….
(I love them both, though… don’t get me wrong… I’m just moderately inebriated and uninhibited at the moment)
I just feel that GOLD (and PGMs for the most part)
are strategically controlled by the Goldman Sucks, et al, group…
No matter how pitiful our consumerist attempts to increase demand (which pales against the Indian Jewellery industry),
we can’t FORCE gold past $1000
@Phil
Re: Patrick McGoohan and Bartering
I LOVE Mr.McGoohan RIP
(I just realized, recently, he was the prison warden in “Escape from Alcatraz”… good fuckin american accent to boot)
I’ve gotten more in my life by bartering WEED than GOLD!!!
(Actually, I’ve never bartered gold for anything…)
Vegetable Cultivation or Hunting is more valuable than Shiny Metals in a local “EARTH ABIDES”-like community….
Prepare for the WORST
so YOU can be at your BEST….
@Giuseppe .. ” I don’t recall Faber calling for gold to crack $1000 this year… ”
IIRC, ca. 3 weeks ago , Faber was actually bearish on Gold.
OTOH, maybe he wanted more .. cheaper !
@phil Well, I have a barter site ready to go…just add money
I need a vacation, a camera, a netbook and investors for my CSP concept. Maybe I need to move to transylvania too, they have georgeous woman there..
Who posted this?
It’s not just quantity of loans that is important, it’s quality too (as we have just learned). Chinese equity markets have rebounded smartly from their recent lows, due in large part to easy money. It may be best to take a breather. Pundits first claimed that the economic crisis would be contained in the U.S., not spreading to the faster growing emerging markets. This was a faulty premise, these emerging markets depend on the U.S. for exports. It seems highly unlikely to me that these same economies can recover without a significant recovery in the U.S.
It’s total and utter nonsense. Why would China need the US for it’s exports? To get more dollars? Anyone really believes that they need more shitting paper in China? If they want more dollars why not steal the design and manufacture them themselves?
@Gordon Brown .. “‘Deceit over cuts will lead to riots’, says David Cameron”
… ” The new measures included proposals to force all under-25s into a job or training by threatening to withdraw their benefits, and a tripling of the social housing budget. ” …

Hey Gordon .. “what” jobs ?
@M
If China needs more Shit-house ass-wipe
They should look to CASCADE (i think it is CAS on the TSX)
They make outstanding (and exceptionally low-priced)
TP out of recycled paper products….
no need to butcher Old Growth for a White Collar Anus….
GOOD QUALITY, TOO (low dust)
I suspect Canada, Mexico and South America are going to become far more relevant to China
than the United States of Amnesia (h/t to Kaiser Keiser… thanx for the Gil Scott Heron ref)
the NA Markets have seemingly taken the summer off
(sell in May, go away)
I have seen it on the Canuck Markets
Volume is practically reduced to Retail and the RBC or CIBC market Makers
no sign of Institutions or BIG MONEY investors
although, i see the occasional ANONYMOUS Bidder (i.e. #1 on the Level II Market-By-Order ticker) coming in to buy some shares in BIG BLOCKS
(I don’t know if US Markets have that option)
The US has to come to grips damn quickly with its needs and start producing
or else the Celente portent of CIVIL WAR may become reality
which would really hurt the ratings of American idol and Fox News
America start producing? How? The manufacturing industry was dismantled and shipped to China decades ago. There is no turning back. Read Agenda 21. The old manufacturing centers are to be bulldozed. The CHANGE will be permanent.
Part of the plan was published in the 1938 Report of the Royal Institute of International Affairs.

And for the New Agers and Greenies, have a look at this interview.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XueBqv_dpM&feature=related
That’s the mysterious con man Maurice Strong talking about world communism he’s helping usher in for his banker bosses. Of course he doesn’t say “communism”; it’s always “common future” or “common purpose” or “communitarianism” or “collective consciousness”. As long as they don’t label it COMMUNISM, nobody seems to notice. His aunt “advised” Mao on how to run China.
Jennifer: ’bout sums it up…
Interesting little kick-back against those who believe the world is over-populated and we need to cull populations in order to feed ourselves. Although most readers on this list will not be surprised.
IMF Report
@ptah Yes, that is correct.
Solar thermal – > desalination – > soil development – > loads of food
But will the plunderers allow it?
Honduras battles tide of support for ousted Zelaya http://tinyurl.com/mlwkql
(prisonplanet.com) Zelaya Seeks UN Help to Regain Presidency in Honduras http://ur1.ca/6ie2
U.S. co-sponsored U.N. resolution supports Zelaya…. accused of drug ties…
The regime that ousted Manuel Zelaya in Honduras claimed Tuesday that the deposed president allowed tons of cocaine to be flown into the Central American country on its way to the United States.
“Every night, three or four Venezuelan-registered planes land without the permission of appropriate authorities and bring thousands of pounds … and packages of money that are the fruit of drug trafficking,” its foreign minister, Enrique Ortez, told CNN en Espanol.
“We have proof of all of this. Neighboring governments have it. The DEA has it,” he added.

@13blackcats -yes, classic op for central american leaders; they are forced to take the drug running operations run by US intelligence but it also gives US way to blackmail them
Occam’s razor dear but perhaps I’m wrong. Maybe ask Strong/exPMPM/Demaris/Power Corp about the 15.4 MM missing from the mint – I’m too busy celebrating “we’re okay Dominion Day” with the “responsible” Canadian banks.
Obama now stands against President Uribe, the most popular anti Communist president in Colombian history, and makes common cause with the most hated Communist dictators in Latin American history; Chavez, Ortega, and the Castros.
