  1. Here is one on the NZ front.

    Yes Kiwi’s enjoy their own wine – lots of good wine at low prices at the moment in the supermarkets.

    Bulk wine transported by rail just depends on the requirements of the wineries and where their bottling plants sit. Some that have surplus get on sold to others that might like to blend their wines etc. Over certain distances it is cheaper than sending it using tanker trucks (also get used for milk industry).

    For milk, it is still largely done by a large fleet of tanker trucks, but the trains move the bulk storage based upon either milk power demand or cheese demand etc. I guess that is just to maximize the value for what ever is in demand.

    This was also in the news here today.

  2. Time got it wrong yet again … it needs to be the guy that runs the US dollar bill printing presses

    1. Without physical paper, plastic or coin currency — you have none.

    2. Printing physical money is the only way to create money when bank lending is off.

    3. America will need to utilize is vast armies of printing presses for hyperinflation — where each bill becomes worthless in less than a month after it is introduced…

  3. Max & Stacy touted the value of NZ kiwi (the currency) and also the AU Dollar (though now to a somewhat lesser extent).

    One advantage of GoldMoney.com is that if you sell your gold you can exit in non USD currency, however not in NZK nor AU $

    @Max, you are friends with James Turk right? Could you ask him to add these currencies.

  4. I scouted some New Zealand news for you, it may be worth musing about.

    http://www.siww.com.sg/media/worlds-first-long-haul-bulk-water-now-close-reality

    This company in Christchurch could team up with the whale defender in the stealth boat, and bag some of the nearby floating giant icebergs. It would be similar to the millionaire maker’s idea in Bruster’s Millions, the Richard Pryor movie. He suggests that Pryor’s character bag some icebergs and sell the water elsewhere for profits.

    ;) cheeers.

  10. @Mep

    I wish I could say something to make you feel better.
    But it is almost like a person has to save for their own plan because the insurance industry is trying to offload all the risk back on the individual.

    Which was not really the idea of insurance.

  11. @ Gordo – Because saying it would result in fewer campaign contributions? I don’t know. What I do know is that I want to start a family within the next couple of years and I’m terrified at the prospect of getting pregnant in this country.

  12. @ Gordo – Well, Howard Dean is a leading progressive voice on health care reform, so they have to go after him for telling the truth. Few elected officials within the party are taking as strong of a stance, so so far, there is no reason to attack them.

  13. @Mep

    Yes you would have to see that to believe it.

    I don’t get it? If you take this to the extreme (which is pretty much where we are) why don’t we just pay insurance for NOTHING.

    I mean it what is the point ?
    Why not just pay them for ZERO ZIP NULL ZILCH EXACTO-NONE-DOO
    That is what they are moving to. Why not say it?

  14. ron paul says it all !!! now if they can just audett the fed.

  15. @Mep

    I am thinking that maybe they should pay more attention to someone who is actually in the Democratic party than the guy from Vermont.

  16. @ Gordo – You have to see this to believe it:

    http://coloradoindependent.com/44289/in-colorado-pregnancy-makes-men-uninsurable-too

    CIGNA has a company policy of denying insurance to pregnant women and men married to pregnant women!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And these sickmotherfuckers are the very people that everyone who does not qualify for some form of government insurance be at the mercy of if the bastardization of health care “reform” passes!

  17. @ Gordo – You’re welcome. For his honesty, Dean is now being attacked by the White House as being “irrational”:

    Oh, yes, we refinanced.

    Oh, perfect. When?
    About 5%. A couple of months ago.

    Good time.
    Yes. We had to do it because we had an adjustable rate mortgage and it exploded, so we had to.

    So, did you get a fixed rate at 5%? I think this might be the most valuable piece of information. (Laughter.)
    Thirty years fixed rate at a little over 5%.

    Not aliens, not lizards. Icke and ilk are Tavistock tools, to put “sensible” folks off the scent.

    We’re looking backstage. Ultimately, after you secure your pot of gold, you might start wondering howuseful it will be once the cashless society is imposed, with weekly non-accruable credit rations for the prols. In the War to Save the Planet, sacrifices must be made. What will become of the selfish ones who don’t willingly give up their private property for the sake of Gaia? Read Agenda 21 to get your financial planning into perspective. Private property is “unsustainable”.

  70. @anything but green.again

    I don’t think that Project Camelot and similar sites are there to pull your leg. Project Camelot lets people talk their story and your the one who has to decide if you buy their story or or not depending on other knowledge you already have or don’t have.

    The UFO and Alien story was indeed censored after WOIII especially after the experience with Orson Wells War of the Worlds 1938 Radio Broadcast.

    Produced and directed by Orson Welles of the Mercury Theatre Players and based upon the 1898 H.G. Wells novel. The radio airing terrified many of its listeners, especially the ones who tuned into the broadcast late, and thought it was a live news broadcast of a real alien invasion from outer space.

    A Princeton psychologist of the day, found in his study of the mass hysteria, that 2 million people were alarmed into thinking the alien attack was legitimate.

    The short audio portion in this video is of the specific section of the 60 minute radio play that prompted most of the listening audience to believe it an actual attack.

    The day after the radio airing, Orson Welles apologized to the public for the panic he had ‘created’.

    Welles later said: “Radio in those days, before the tube and the transistor, wasn’t just a noise in somebody’s pocket – it was the voice of authority. Too much so. At least, I thought so. It was time for someone to take the starch out of some of that authority: hence my broadcast.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTvU9j3og5k

  79. Michael Hudson points out the propaganda function of Mackay’s _Madness of Crowds_:

    http://www.cooperativeindividualism.org/hudson-michael_housing-crisis-of-2008.html

    The fact remains that like every financial bubble in history starting with England’s South Sea Bubble and France’s Mississippi Bubble in the 1710s nearly three centuries ago, today’s bubble has been sponsored by the government. Forget the “madness of crowds” free-market propaganda. Insiders and enabling politicians always try to blame the victim. The reality is that Fannie, Freddie and the FHA gave a patina of confidence to irresponsible lending and outright fraud. This confidence game led them to guarantee some $5.3 trillion of mortgages, and to keep $1.6 trillion more on their own books to back the bonds they issued to institutional investors. Their strategy has been to issue bonds paying fairly low interest rates, and use the proceeds to buy mortgages yielding somewhat higher rates. This kind of interest-rate arbitrage is what the S&Ls did in the 1980s – a relevant parallel, as I will discuss below.

    So you understand that Project Camelot and similar sites are there to pull the wool over your eyes? After WWII the “UFOs” were no secret but the policy was changed, after which the alien disinfo campaign got underway. The Los Alomos connection is worth noting. That’s a major player in suppressing cold fusion technology. Yup, Steven Jones and his “truther” boss David Kukiak are deep into the suppression of info on free energy, and also probably involved in some of the high-tech weaponry used to bring down the towers.

    Bloomberg joining in with a pretty stupid statement :

  100. squawk box is now saying to ignore gold…there are no fundamentals….just mentaly ill gold bugs.this is from laurence meyer…he said the only thing to cause inflation is the loss of the feds independance as deficits dont cause inflation.

  103. Bulk wine storage — not nearly as widespread a phenomenon as you interpreted my comment to mean — much more was tipped out. But talking to bladder/container guys there was a definite uptick in interest and sales for this purpose…

  104. Canada
    Australia
    Russia
    NZ
    China
    etc…

    all are trying to get ahead by extracting their natural resources and exporting…but to whom will they export all that stuff? The US? Hah, we’re broke. No single country is safe, we’re all screwed because for every quantity of production you need an equal offset of consumption, or you’ll get deflation.

    There is an obsession with production but nobody can describe how we’re going to afford the stuff. There will be mountains of unsold inventory.

  105. @frances snoot … I’m long spam.

    “You” said it !

  106. @Phil:
    Not to worry! In your scenerio, gold will be a viable exchange medium for spam, right? When the spam hits the fan? How much will gold be valued at in contrast to spam’s value after the dollar basket crash: it will be the basket, right? They’ll have to retool everything, right?

    I’m long spam.

  107. Sorry guys, that wasn’t NYT about 20ft containers etc — it was my comment

  108. Daryl Hannah…on bloomberg now spreading the word in hope n carbon,,,,and advocating people lay their bodies on the line as Im sure she would do the same.MAN that burns me to the core when hollywood tells the average joe to put it on the line for something they believe in.

  109. Oh Lilly !

Smith, lead author of the study and professor of geophysics at the University of Utah. “A lot of calderas [giant volcanic craters] worldwide go up and down over decades without erupting.”…
