Can anybody explain gold? I’m curious what the specific reasons could be for this move..
I think an important concept to use is ‘investment vehicle’. WHat can work as a plausible motive for investment. It needs to have future revenues that warrant the loan and interest carrying capacity. Some things are wise investments, others are simple vehicles for the investment scam.
@ME. gold and silver are money. paper is less than money. the music is about to stop.

1 HOUR Lecture:
Former World Bank President: Big Shift Coming
James Wolfensohn, former president of The World Bank and CEO of Wolfensohn and Co., addressed Stanford Graduate School of Business students with details about his work at the World Bank during its transition years and how the equation between developed and developing countries is changing. Wolfensohn claimed that in the next 40 years, a global power shift will see today’s leading economic countries drop from having 80% of the world’s income to 35%.

Hey have an idea for all you CO2 obsessed. Maybe we could exterminate 90% of the population and return to the middle ages or the roman times ? I am sure the crackpots at the Nasa and the IPCC would find quite cool to return to the roman circus and slavery. New discovery. Ous warmers just discovered this week that bigger presence of vapor water in the atmosphere is causing the unpredicted cooling the last year. Yeap. Maybe we should abolish the clouds to.
Copper market is not ser for a “catastrophe” As ALL metals mines are NOT opening. And the popultaion and industrialization increasing. Naturally the game plan is indeed eventually exterminating 90%, EVEN gold in that case is about to crash.

John Embry: Why gold will keep going up for years
http://www.gata.org/node/8281
Good read.
“The blow by European governments has been even more candid. According to Bloomberg, at a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Brussels on November 17th, the Europeans announced that they want “strict conditionality on the next instalment of IMF loans to Ukraine.” The IMF decided earlier this month, seemingly under EU pressure, to delay disbursement of the next $3.4 billion portion of the loan after the Ukrainian government failed to rein in social spending. The long shadow of the EU ministers, and their influence exercised via the IMF, will hit pensioners hard, as well as other sectors of the population heavily reliant on social protection schemes.
During initial negotiations of this loan, and in light of the social unrest unleashed by announced social spending cuts, the Ukrainian government sought advice by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in a desperate attempt to outweigh the IMF’s pressure to cut social protection spending. This makes me wonder to what extent the IMF lending programmes “allow for negotiations” as the GAO report said. The ILO came into the negotiations bringing alternatives to the IMF’s orthodoxy in fiscal austerity and spending cuts: it actually proposed to change the tax system to increase government revenues through more progressive arrangements (actually reversing the flat tax that had been introduced as the fiscal panacea in many Eastern European countries some years ago).”

@ Bonn – Once again, Infowars discredits itself. At least it’s up front about it and does it in the first paragraph. Calls to introduce a licensing system to police the Internet on behalf of a powerful UN agency represent the latest salvo in a long-running battle to kill free speech on the web and bring an end to the powerful digital democracy that has devastated the carbon tax agenda of the UN by exposing the Climategate scandal.
That, in a nutshell, is what drives me nuts about Alex Jones, himself. He’ll take some information that is relevant to the subject at hand (in the case of the article you linked to: the claims being made by corporate interests about the need to have licensed users of the Internet) and then mix in a bunch of crazy stuff about the UN, nefarious plots (e.g. “climategate”), paranoid fantasies, and truth stretching.
Truth stretching like:
Climategate is a perfect example of the power of the digital democracy that authoritarian enemies of free speech want to crush. The Copenhagen global warming conference was completely devastated by the Climategate revelations which appeared just days before elitists convened to ram through their CO2 scam. As a result of bloggers feverishly pursuing the Climategate story, the entire foundation of the UN’s IPCC has been totally eviscerated and the global warming hoax is on its last legs.
Notice, btw, how interested Infowars was in the actual climate conference. They paid ZERO attention to the attempted behind-the-scenes deal-making, to activists and NGOs being kicked out of the conference center, to the debates taking place within the conference center, to the embarrassment of the US setting different standards of emissions cuts for itself, etc. etc. etc.
(I really do wonder if AJ the Texan has some oil interests of his own.)
Don’t forget. The China model fot the internet. Not just for the internet. They are dreaming of implementing all aspects of Communist China. Naturally you must implement the measures like they incrementally. You start with the Al-CIA-aide clowns or a good virus or ecologic scare to say. Sorry. Your way of living is too costly. How a about returning to the plantation boy and serfdom ? But first you must implement the “security” grid. Body scanners everywhere, data galore on everything you do, everything you think and everything you write. After that you go for the kill. Always for the same reason. You are a potential terrorist. END THE FED ? Terrorist ! Sick of the stealing and raping at the Pentagon ? Terrorist ! Sick of Lloyd Blankfien and his pludering ? Terrorist ! Tired of your rights being violated ? Terrorist ! Criticize Obanana and Brownshrit Brownie ? Terrorist ! Denounce intoxication by Monsanto ? Terrorist ! Refuse to believe the bullshit by the vaccines makers ? Terrorist ! Want to eat good food ? Terrorist ! Want to have a good paying job and an a union ? Terrorist ! Reading too much books with “subversive” ideas talking about social justice % Terrorist ! Thinkin aloud by yourself ? Terrorist ! Making jokes about 911 and politicians ? Terrorist !
Anyways you get the idea. For the moment they the nazis from the Pentagon and the CIA are putting up the infrastructure. Still a lot of work to do bbfore the concentration is seal tight. Expect to eventual disarming of all Americans. It’s a still indeed a big roadblock. But wiht the naked body scanners everywhere, it will be from now on much more easier. Not just at the airport. Israel is selling its know how with Palestinian concentration camps. Oh pardon me. They don’t such a word. They call it refugees camps. Refugees in your own country.

@ Bonn – I do remember, and I don’t doubt at all that some of our leaders intend to crack down on the Internet. I don’t see how they could pull it off in the US without first easing the public into it by creating a tiered Internet and then slowly cracking down like they did with the Patriot Act.
I do wonder if there are cyber attacks being launched that are making the financial terrorists and governments uneasy. Bank of America was having trouble with its site lately, and some were speculating that it was an attack.

And a HOWTO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5_lFT52NrU
Blair is being used to forward the jurisdiction of the ICC: a body of law which derives authority from what Trichet describes as ‘new body of law’: the EU precident.
All law derives impetus from authority. If we permit the EU jurisdiction over international law issues, we sell ourselves to the international bankers standing in for the uber-elite criminals. UK is not subject to the Lisbon Treaty.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_European_Union
Do not support the ICC.
It’s all part of the Plan.
Housing vacancies elevated in fourth quarter http://tinyurl.com/yzrxnyb
typo:precedent
The reason I questioned the appearance of Admiraltry courts in the US after the constitution is that the Admiralty derives authority from the sovereign. The US willingly submitted to the Queen’s sovereign rule over commerce.
The same rule is being applied with the ICC: a body with Napoleonic aspirations. The authority is from the EU: it is acting as sovereign without ‘divine right’. It is now set to overstep its bounds of jurisdiction through hegemony.

just wondering …
who has the most to loose in the event of a crash/panic vs an attempt to control/manage the crisis ?
for the puppet masters to not use the speed and efficiency of a crash/panic vs an attempt to control the crisis, stepping us towards a new world view … is their inability to use a crash reflective of their overall strength ? Where in a crash/panic the risks are best for the people of cutting the strings of control …
and while we are threatened by everyone that a crash is the risk we take by not accepting the change we are being forced to accept. Do the puppet masters also fear a crash/panic as they risk loosing their level of control …as anything is possible as a consequence of a crash/panic.

“What we have now is we have a unique situation, whereby we have a surplus and production has gone up and consumption has gone down,” he said.
Like I’ve said here before, increasing production will cause a depression. There is no fricken liquidity in the economy. Imagine if your car ran out of engine oil and you pissed in the oil tank, thats my analogy. We have no money and too many goods, not too much money chasing too few goods.

@Uranium Stampede
This was a market created for our benefit. A full-on mania seeing idiot hedge funds storing Uranium Oxide in barrels in warehouses completely ignorant of the fuel cycle. When it finally crashed, and it crashed badly, and is in on-going deflation, people fully expected uranium prices to recover. This is no different than the oil market corner which recently blew out completely. (copper, nickel, antimony, wheat, etc, etc, etc…)
The purpose of the uranium mania, which has now completely blown out, was to refit deteriorating thermonuclear weapons. No uranium ever mined was ever mined solely for peaceful purposes, it has a weapons cycle as well.
There is no ‘uranium stampede.’ It is a TOTAL FICTION. (there WAS a stampede – its over now)
Note that mining companies with Lithium deposits are getting a fair bit of attention as well. We are in the thermonuclear age, and a thermonuclear arms race requires not only enriched Uranium, but also Lithium-6, which only has application in thermonuclear weapons, a by-product of the refinement of lithium salts. Lithium-6 is the required fuel to create tritium. Tritium decays very quickly, so it is ineffective as a thermonuclear fuel unless it comes from Lithium-6.
With the onset of ‘the war on terror’ we saw sudden, huge interest in nuclear energy, touted as a green energy. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Only 0.17% of all uranium mined becomes enriched for use in plants. THE REST – THE GREAT BULK OF URANIUM IS THEN DISCARDED AS URANIUM HEXAFLOURIDE IN GAS CANNISTERS. THIS IS NOT A GREEN FUEL CYCLE IN THE LEAST.
A market for Uranium is ‘required’ when you need to replace all of your aging thermonuclear weapons, because in order to make fuel for your weapons fleet renewal, you need ready access to enriched uranium to make plutonium.
Plutonium is highly unstable, highly radioactive and deteriorates the casing of the very weapons that carry a small handful of it as a trigger for a thermonuclear fusion explosion.
As long as you’re a total ignoramus about the so-called green benefits of uranium, and swallow some misguided notion about how useful it all is, then think again. Think hard. Take exlax. And above all, you need a bath and to stop smoking pot.
We are headlong down the road of a great arms race and retrofitting your thermonuclear weapons are just part of the ad-hoc plan.
My apologies if this explanation is not according to your expectations.

“The Vienna-based IAEA is promoting uranium exploration from China to the Democratic Republic of Congo as governments seek to generate power without adding to greenhouse gases, blamed for global warming. About 400 businesses have been set up to seek deposits since 2004, said Ganguly, a metallurgical engineer and former Chief Executive Officer of India’s Nuclear Fuel Complex.
“In the last four to five years, exploration has mushroomed all over the world,” he said. “There’s an acute shortage of uranium geologists and uranium mining engineers. Our focus is to train up these youngsters in uranium geology.”
Desperate Search
In China, “they are desperately trying to find new uranium reserves,” he said. “On the border of Kazakhstan and Mongolia there are some deposits. The grade is very, very low. At least they have identified some low-grade uranium.”
The IAEA, which together with the Paris-based Nuclear Energy Agency publishes the bi-annual Uranium: Resources, Production and Demand guide, may boost the estimated level of known reserves when they compile new figures this year.”

Just point people there…
The bulk (96%) of the byproduct from enrichment is depleted uranium (DU), which can be used for armor, kinetic energy penetrators, radiation shielding and ballast. Still, there are vast quantities of depleted uranium in storage. The United States Department of Energy alone has 470,000 tonnes.[10] About 95% of depleted uranium is stored as uranium hexafluoride (UF6).
So if UF6 is required for enrichment, then there is no need to mine it, hence the Jim Dines Uranium Bubble… at least not in the short term… Just work off the reserves (unless the stored UF6 can’t be used for some reason???)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope_separation
This talks about the use of Lithium-6 in Weapons manufacture (albeit briefly)
Lithium has far more uses, though, so I don’t believe the recent mania over Li has much to do with that…
The empty suit has now joined the “THE FAMILY” a secret religious sect!
http://www.commondreams.org/video/2010/02/02
What if the world used UF6 as a backing for currency?
THEN the USA could have plenty of reserves to justify the M1/M2…
@Guiseppi:
The exploration and development most likely is meant to colonize the African continent for the next century: these guys plan ahead. The carbon regulations and the depressed opportunities for energy viability from other sources (due to political regulations of the nuclear five) most likely will feed into a European based energy resource monopoly of control.
Looking ahead in terms of a differential in the currency: those with pegs to sdr will survive the volitility intact. I’m not sure how this will play out: no one will know until the sdr is reweighted this year.
The idea is to bankrupt, regulate, obfuscate, steal, and then control.

If the copper price plunges, and my small business suddenly has a huge boon, (since copper is one of my largest expenses,) how is this catastrophic?
Don’t look now, but…and correct me if wrong….melt gold sold as such “counts” in the City of London spot price fix everyday, no? Don’t these sales of “junk” gold after melting contribute (some) to the suppression of prices; since melt gold may be valued at an average purity, say 18kt. by the time you average the contents and alloys? Refined gold will be truly 24kt and should be the only transaction counted by CoL.
@for all of those pounding the table on Uranium and its uses
Its a pretty bad fissile material, unless you have a weapons cycle. Because the way you refine Uranium is to produce Uranium salts, or UF6 (really a gas) and throw it in a centrifuge. The only usable portion is the enriched portion, which is 0.17% of the mined material which occurs naturally.
THE REST IS WASTE
And if you don’t believe me that Lithium-6, (an isotope of Lithium that occurs naturally and forms a small portion of all natural Lithium deposits,) -that its not actually used in thermonuclear weapons, then I would advise you to do some very, very serious reading on that very subject!
I SAY AGAIN. THE URANIUM MARKET HAS CRASHED – THE BUBBLE HAS BURST – BUT NOT THE Ux SWU market, which has remained steady.
The irreversible facts are here:
http://www.indexmundi.com/commodities/?commodity=uranium&months=120
Uranium is impractical and has no future.
The following about Lithium-6 from the article on Lithium:
” Large amounts of lithium-6 have been isotopically fractionated for use in nuclear weapons.”
-they should say thermonuclear weapons – meaning hydrogen bombs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium
So my suggestion is not to be an igonoramus when you hear that hybrid cars are to be powered by lithium cells, when they actually burn just as much gas as before, and at the same time, there is a wondrous bull market in Lithium exploration juniors.
Uranium is impractical and has no future.
That is a very foolish sentence based on fluffy logic.

“LONDON — The British government unveiled plans Monday to launch one of the world’s most ambitious expansions of nuclear-power capacity, calling for the construction of 10 plants to help meet surging energy demands in the era of global warming.
After years of resistance to construction of nuclear-power plants, the British plan underscored how nations around the world are scrambling to find ways to generate more energy while slashing the emissions that cause climate change. To do that, nations including the United States are considering more reliance on nuclear power, which, while generating radioactive waste, produces almost no carbon emissions.
To keep the lights on in Britain while meeting strict goals to slash emissions, the government of Prime Minister Gordon Brown identified 10 sites in England and Wales for new nuclear plants, with the first expected to come online by 2018. Many of the plants are envisioned to replace aging plants that are set to be decommissioned in coming years and are a vestige of a period of accelerated nuclear construction from the 1950s to 1980s.”
http://www.euractiv.com/en/foreign-affairs/ambassador-china-expand-nuclear-power-capacity/article-183819
“Nuclear power will play an increasingly important role in China’s energy policy as the world’s most populous nation seeks to improve its energy efficiency, said the country’s EU Ambassador Zhe Song in a detailed and wide-ranging interview with EurActiv.
Chinese EU Ambassador Zhe Song heads his country’s mission to the European Union in Brussels.”
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/greenhouse/post/2010/01/obama-creates-panel-seeks-loan-guarantees-to-spur-nuclear-power-/1
“President Obama, who called for a “new generation” of nuclear power plants in his State of the Union address Wednesday, is quickly moving forward. He created a panel Friday to recommend ways to dispose of used nuclear fuel and is expected Monday to propose tripling loan guarantees for new plant construction.”
@Fransix:
Uranium of course is impractical: but it is the basis of the nuclear five advantage in driving and controlling energy resource monopoly according to the five’s privileged position based on the NPT treaty.

20 reasons Global Debt Time Bomb explodes soon
Commentary: Which trigger will ignite the Great Depression II?
By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch.com
20 economic weapons of mass destruction triggering ticking Global Debt Time Bomb
1. Federal Budget Deficit Bomb. The Bush/Cheney wars pushed America deep into a debt hole. Federal debt limit was just raised almost 100% with Obama’s 2010 budget, to $14.3 trillion vs. $7.8 trillion in 2005. The Congressional Budget Office predicts future deficits around 4% through 2020. Get it? America’s debt at 84% of GDP will soon pass that toxic 90% trigger point.
2. U.S. Foreign Trade Bomb. Monthly deficits actually dropped from $50 billion per month to roughly $35 billion. But the total continues climbing as $400 billion is added each year. Foreigners now own $2.5 trillion of America, with China holding over $1.3 trillion in Treasury debt.
3. Weakening U.S. Dollar as Foreign Reserve Currency Bomb. Fear China and other currencies will replace dollar as main foreign reserves. The dollar’s fallen: The main index measuring dollar strength has gone from 120 at the Clinton-to-Bush handoff to below 80 today.
4. Cheap Money Bomb: Credit Ratings Down, Rates Up. Economists at S&P, Fitch and Moody’s were totally co-conspirators of Fat Cat Bankers, misleading investors before meltdown: Soon, debt up, ratings down, interest rates soar.
5. Global Real Estate Bomb. Dubai Tower, new “world’s tallest building” is empty. BusinessWeek warns that China’s housing collapse could be worse than America’s. Plus the U.S. commercial real estate bubble is now $1.7 trillion, a “ticking time bomb” bloating 25% of bank balance sheets.
6. Peak Oil and the Population Bomb. China and India each need 500 new cities. The United Nations estimates world population exploding 50% from 6 billion to 9 billion by 2050: Three billion more humans demanding more automobiles, exhausting more resources to feed their version of the gas-guzzling “America Dream.”
7. Social Security Bomb. We have no choice; eventually we must either cut benefits or raise taxes. Politicians hate both, so they’ll do nothing. Delays worsen solutions. Without action, by 2035 Social Security and Medicare benefits will eat up the entire federal budget other than defense.
8. Medicare: A Nuclear Bomb. Going broke faster than Social Security. Prescription drug benefit added an unfunded $8.1 trillion. In 5 years estimates rose from about $35 trillion to over $60 trillion now.
9. Health-care Insurance Bomb. Burden increasingly shifted to employees. Costs rising faster than inflation. Recent Obamacare plan would have cost $90 billion annually, paid to Big Pharma and insurers.
10. State and Local Government Budget Bombs. Deficits of $110 billion in 2010, $178 billion in 2011on top of more than $450 billion in underfunded state and municipal employee pension funds.
11. Underfunded Corporate Pensions Bomb. From $60 billion surplus in 2007 to $409 billion deficit in 2009. And a whopping 92% of the pension plans of companies are now underfunded. Defaults are guaranteed by taxpayers.
12. Consumer Debt Bomb. Americans are still living beyond their means. Even with a downturn, consumer debt rose from about $2.3 to $2.5 trillion. Fat Cat Bankers love it – yes, love making matters worse by gouging cardholders and mortgagees, blocking help in foreclosures and bankruptcies.
13. Personal Savings Bomb. Before the 2008 meltdown savings rate dropped from about 10% in the early 1980s to below zero. Now it’s increasing, slowing retail recovery. Today, government’s the big “unsaver.”
14. War and Military Defense Deficits. Costs of Iraq and Afghanistan wars — $200+ billion annually, $3 trillion minimum, with massive long-term costs for veteran medical care, equipment renewal, recruitment.
15. Homeland Insecurity Bomb. Security at airports, seaports, borders, vulnerable chemical plants all increase budgets.
16. Fed/Treasury Bailout Bombs. Tax credits, loans, cash and purchase of toxic assets from Wall Street banks estimated at $23.7 trillion as new debt was shifted from too-big-to-fail Fat-Cat banks to taxpayers.
17. Insatiable Washington Lobbyists Bombs. Paulson, Goldman, Geithner, Morgan and Wall Street banks, through their lobbyists and former employees working inside now have absolute power over government spending. Democracy and voters are now irrelevant in America’s new corporate-socialism.
18. Shadow Banking: The Derivatives Bomb. Wall Street wants no regulation of this $670 trillion, high-risk, out-of-control casino that’s highly leveraged versus the $50 trillion total GDP of all nations. We forget that derivatives almost destroyed global economies in 2008-09, finally will by 2012.
19. Dysfunctional Two-Party Political Bomb. Polarized partisanship increasing: Every day both parties show zero interest in cooperating for the public good. Instead they fight viciously, resisting everything and anything proposed by opponents. Only goal: Score political points, make the other side look bad.
20. The Coming Populous Rebellion Bombs. Nobody trusts anyone in authority. For good reason. So immediate gratification, short-term betting and a lack of long-term perspective wins for individual investors, consumers and taxpayers as well as Washington, Wall Street and Corporate America CEOs. Today: “Doing what’s right for the common good and country” is just empty political rhetoric.

With universities pumping out more students than there are positions available in many cases, we are seeing the effects of educational inflation. Those that do have qualifications in areas that are still in demand have been lucky enough to weather the down turn without any significant impact.

Mish again: quoted from his website:
“I wish governor Gibbons the best of luck in getting collective bargaining for public workers tossed in the ashcan where is belongs. Unfortunately collective bargaining agreements seem to be covered by federal as opposed to state rules.”
Let me see.. the problem is that billionaire gangsters on Wall Street and in the City (of London) have ripped off the economies of both countries for Trillions of dollars.. so the answer, from Mish, is, in true right wing style..Fuck The Workers!!
He even hopes the ring wing governor of Nevada violates laws and contracts in the process.
Psychothic right wing hatred of workers, even to the violation of negotiated contracts and the breaking of laws. All to serve the bottom line of one greedy little ideologue.
What in hell does the financial crises have to do with workers?? NOTHING. Nothing whatsoever. This is pure opportunism by greedy right wing cranks..
