    World largest gold coin set for auction

    http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=130191&sectionid=3510212

    The world’s largest gold coin, a Canadian $ 1,000,000 Maple Leaf, measuring about half a meter in diameter and weighing 100 kilogram, is to go on sale in Austria.

    The coin, made of pure refined gold, will go under the hammer at the Dorotheum auction house in Vienna on June 25.

    The bankrupting company that owns the coin, AvW Invest AG, has been forced to sell the record-breaking golden money.

    The gigantic coin features the image of three maple leaves — the national symbol of Canada — on one side and the image of British Queen Elizabeth II on the other.

    Current estimates have put the value of the coin at just less than four million dollars.

    Prior to the onset of the company’s liquidation proceedings, the impressive Maple Leaf was on loan to a museum in Vienna. It is also listed as the world’s biggest coin in the latest edition of Guinness World Records.

    How about replacing Medicare, Medicaid with a new system for anybody some kind of single payer.

    The new system is already laid out: Medicare and Medicaid are over. But the .gov included the additions to Medicaid to forward the austerity agenda.

    And the new system won’t be adequate without taxpayer revenue, which seems to have slipped everyone’s minds lately. I assume there will be rationed care: what else?

    May Levels of Toxic Gases in Gulf Back Up Claim Made by Lindsey Williams http://www.infowars.com/may-levels-of-toxic-gases-in-gulf-back-up-claim-made-by-lindsey-williams/

    4-5 million gallons per day of oil and toxics are leaking out now. 20 miles from where the oil rigg was there is an other oil plume.

    There is not only oil coming out but all kind of toxics like Hydrosulfide – 1200 PPB (Parts Per Billion – 5-10 PPB=Safe Level), Benzene – 3000 PPB (0-4 PPB=Save Level), Methylene Chloride – 3000 PPB (61 PPB=Safe Level). The oil dispencer they are using now is 4 times as toxic as the oil itself.

    The elite is gonna use this disaster to fullfill there 2010 – 2012 agenda. Cap and Trade was part of that agende which Obama is trying to push trough now under disquise of this disaster.

    part 2 – MUST HEAR! Oil Spill WORLDS WORSE DISASTER EVER!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDucudcLVaE

    And you better believe him cause evrything he said i the past came truth or is still on par.

  54. The Obama Administration and senior BP officials are frantically working not to stop the world’s worst oil disaster, but to hide the true extent of the actual ecological catastrophe. Senior researchers tell us that the BP drilling hit one of the oil migration channels and that the leakage could continue for years unless decisive steps are undertaken, something that seems far from the present strategy.

    In a recent discussion, Vladimir Kutcherov, Professor at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden and the Russian State University of Oil and Gas, predicted that the present oil spill flooding the Gulf Coast shores of the United States “could go on for years and years … many years.” [1]

    According to Kutcherov, a leading specialist in the theory of abiogenic deep origin of petroleum, “What BP drilled into was what we call a ‘migration channel,’ a deep fault on which hydrocarbons generated in the depth of our planet migrate to the crust and are accumulated in rocks, something like Ghawar in Saudi Arabia.”[2] Ghawar, the world’s most prolific oilfield has been producing millions of barrels daily for almost 70 years with no end in sight. According to the abiotic science, Ghawar like all elephant and giant oil and gas deposits all over the world, is located on a migration channel similar to that in the oil-rich Gulf of Mexico.

    As I wrote at the time of the January 2010 Haiti earthquake disaster,[3] Haiti had been identified as having potentially huge hydrocasrbon reserves, as has neighboring Cuba. Kutcherov estimates that the entire Gulf of Mexico is one of the planet’s most abundant accessible locations to extract oil and gas, at least before the Deepwater Horizon event this April.

    “In my view the heads of BP reacted with panic at the scale of the oil spewing out of the well,” Kutcherov adds. “What is inexplicable at this point is why they are trying one thing, failing, then trying a second, failing, then a third. Given the scale of the disaster they should try every conceivable option, even if it is ten, all at once in hope one works. Otherwise, this oil source could spew oil for years given the volumes coming to the surface already.” [4]

    Gulf Oil Spill “Could Go on Years and Years” …
    by F. William Engdahl

    He stresses, “It is difficult to estimate how big this leakage is. There is no objective information available.” But taking into consideration information about the last BP ‘giant’ discovery in the Gulf of Mexico, the Tiber field, some six miles deep, Kutcherov agrees with Ira Leifer a researcher in the Marine Science Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara who says the oil may be gushing out at a rate of more than 100,000 barrels a day.[5]

  62. @Majestic,

    I’m so utterly tired of this “lunar landing conspiracy” stuff. They took analog data – not even the original picture – and conclude from it, using digital filtering, that it was tempered with. I’m not saying it is not possible, but in this case it is just…silly.

  64. FreeMarkets?

    Oil well ‘ Eugene 330′ which produced 150,000 barrels of oil a day was shut down when it ran dry – Then it was opened up again when it was replenished!

    The Elites must have known about the myth of peak oil for a long time!!!!

    It seems that hydro carbons are abundant!!!

  65. FreeMarkets?

    It also seems that Global warming by man is utter BS!!! and only another scam by the NWO to tax us even more and for them to try and obtain full control over the human race!

    If Oil is abundant and its use not damaging to the climate then the price should be fixed and the manipulation by the elites has defrauded the whole of the world?

    Snoot,
    Medicare will be bankrupt within 10 or 15 years. Medicaid is the fastest growing program the US has. The problem is nobody had the guts to tell the truth that care will have to be rationed especially with the boombers becoming seniors. Seniors over 65 are three times more expansive to care for than those of us under 65.

  89. brandon … the whole stinkin financial system will be collapsed way before the Medicare worry

  119. Excellent article by Henry C K Liu on Asia Times:

    http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/LF10Dj02.html

    Some quotes:

    The dysfunctional disparity of income and polarization of wealth between the wage-earning masses and the financial elite with income from profit and capital gain are the main causes of overcapacity in the economy. In past decades, the neo-liberal response to overcapacity was to shy away from the obvious solution of raising wages, turning instead to flooding the economy with huge mountains of consumer and corporate debt that eventually resulted in a tsunami of borrower defaults that turned into a global credit crisis. Repeating the same response to the current crisis will lead only to another global crisis down the road.

    While the culprits of the global credit meltdown of 2008 have been bailed out with the public’s future tax money, the sovereign debt crisis across the globe is blamed on innocent wage earners for receiving supposedly unsustainably high wages and excessive social benefits that allegedly threaten the competitiveness of economies in a globalized trade regime designed to push wages down everywhere.


    Despite propagandist distortion, the sovereign debt problem has not been caused by the high cost of a welfare state; it has been caused by deregulated financial markets that allowed governments to borrow huge sums against future revenue from public sector enterprises without showing the liabilities on government balance sheets.


    There are strong signs that voters in countries with multiparty democratic political systems have been brainwashed into believing that free-market capitalism with minimum government intervention is the only road to prosperity. Voters have been conditioned unwittingly to buy into an anti-government ideology that diametrically contradicts the public’s other demand for generous safety nets of socioeconomic security that only governments can provide.

  121. more from Henry Liu’s essay (hit submit button too soon)…

    When the gullable weak are convinced by the devious strong in society that government is the problem, not the solution, the weak are inadvertently trapped into a political climate that permits the destruction of their only institutional protector, since the existential function of government, regardless of political and economic color, is to protect the weak from the strong.

    Government non-interference through deregulation and privatization of the public sector leads to the law of the jungle in free markets under which the economic function of the financially weak is to serve as the food supply for the financially strong. Historically, government evolves in civilization so that the weak masses can collectively resist the oppression of the strong elite. This is the reason why the strong in society always bash popular government.

    —-

    A study by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace think tank in the US concludes that “the welfare states set up across Europe from the 1940s onwards with the aim of suppressing popular unrest and paying off tensions that could lead to another continental war” are “unaffordable”. What was left unsaid in the study was that it would be unaffordable only if the disparity of income and polarization of wealth were to be allowed to continue. In an overcapacity economy, the people can afford what they produce if the system does not deprive the majority of their right to the wealth they create and hands it to a controlling minority. Revolution would have to come by policy or it will come by violence.

    Meanwhile, in the United States, a conservative populist movement that calls itself TEA (Tax Enough Already) Party is gaining popular support and can easily be transformed into a fascist political force. Left unsaid in TEA Party rhetoric, besides protest against rising taxes, is protest on the prospect that the tax money should be spent on the poor, rather than bailing out the errant financial elite

  122. @ Youri

    Hello, and thanks. I enjoyed viewing your Mars shots retrospective.

    With regards to “Fire in the Sky”, I am familiar with the Travis Walton case, having investigated it as an “armchair researcher”.

    I find the movie to be mostly sub-par, but one 10-minute scene therein, still freaks the bejesus out of me, today.

    He passed 4 out of 5 lie detector tests. (The one he failed was the day after he was found naked after his abduction.) All of his colleges (who were initially suspected by police to have murdered Travis and made up a cover story) passed polygraph tests.

    A very interesting multiple-witness case.

  158. The government with its pot of stimulus money is trying to control teachers’ tenure. Tings are really twisted. The majority of kids are being taught by a system that supports national ignorance in the first place. So, if the teachers are not measuring up to the government specs of keeping the status quo at an improving level, the teachers may lose their tenure? Looks like the gov wants to produce a better crop of sheeple to harvest tax dollars. Whatever the gov touches just turns to shit.

Well, folks with money will dodge the tax man til the day they die. Bottom line, the ship is overloaded with debt through creative destruction imho, and more tax will not lift the ship. Tax increases look like they are in a solid uptrend, as the economy continues to slow.

What do they say? He who has the money makes the rules. Looks like the money will slowly get its way.

    US Discovers Nearly $1 Tln in Afghan Mineral Deposits – NYT

    DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

    The U.S. has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in
    Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and that could make the country one
    of the world’s most important mining centers, the New York Times reported on its
    website Sunday, citing unnamed senior U.S. government officials.
    The deposits of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithium
    are so big that Afghanistan could become the “Saudi Arabia of lithium,” an
    internal Pentagon memo said, according to the newspaper. Lithium is a key raw material
    for batteries for laptops and smart phones.
    The discoveries were made by a small team of Pentagon officials and U.S. geologists,
    U.S. officials said, adding that the Afghan government and President Hamid Karzai were
    recently briefed on the findings, the newspaper reported.
    Officials and industry executives believe that the reserves could attract heavy
    investment even before the mines are profitable, creating jobs that could distract from
    generations of war, the newspaper said.

    This EMP problem is known for years also during the cold war of cause with the huge nuclear threat.

    The rest is the usualy scaremongering, if this if that, it could this or that. The only ones waging wars right now is the U.S. itself so therefore the U.S. is it’s greatest own enemy and is very bussy destroying itself.

    We all just watch and see it happen.

  186. @ frances – This may be up your alley, but maybe not. It’s a documentary about a professor from my university who was illegally detained and mistreated by the FBI following his wife’s sudden death. They tried everything they could to frame him for bioterrorism (and then wire fraud when that failed) under the Patriot Act in a move to chill freedom of speech and expression–he was working on an art exhibit about GMOs–and to scare university researchers and faculty into silence.

    Yeah Mep the FBI are scumbags and I’ve met a American here in the Netherlands who left the country cause he was harassed by the FBI scumbags all the time while this man is a normal hard working mechanic. They’re to lazy to actual produce somtin therefore they steal it from honest hard working man.

    That’s why the country is going the way it is…..down.

    BERIMBAU

    Quem é homem de bem não trai
    O amor que lhe quer seu bem

    Quem diz muito que vai, não vai
    Assim como não vai, não vem
    Quem de dentro de si não sai

    Vai morrer sem amar ninguém
    O dinheiro de quem não dá

    É o trabalho de quem não tem
    Capoeira que é bom não cai
    Mas se um dia ele cai, cai bem

    Capoeira me mandou dizer que já chegou
    Chegou para lutar

    Berimbau me confirmou vai ter briga de amor
    Trizteza camara

    …& english translation:

    A good man does not betray
    the love that wants the best for him.

    He who often says he will leave does not leave;
    as he never leaves, he never arrives.

    He who does not leave himself
    will die having loved no one.

    The money of the one who does not give
    is the labor of the one who does not have.

    A good capoeirista never falls,
    but if one day he falls, he falls well.

    Capoeira tells me
    to say I have already arrived,
    having arrived to fight.

    The berimbau assures me
    it will have lovers quarrel.
    Such sadness, my friend.

  193. @ Youri – Yep. And Prof. Kurtz had a history of using his critical art to express the corruption amongst Congress, the military-industrial complex, and corporations . . . to the detriment of the rest of us, so that’s why they targeted him.

    About Afghanistan and the media finally reporting on the $1 trillion of natural resources that the US “found there,” I just found this. Apparently, the Soviets knew about those resources in the 70s, so logic dictates that the US has know about them since at least then.

    Quoting from that source:

    Afghanistan is endowed with a wealth of natural resources, including extensive deposits of natural gas, petroleum, coal, copper, chromite, talc, barites, sulfur, lead, zinc, iron ore, salt, and precious and semiprecious stones. In the 1970s the Soviets estimated Afghanistan had as much as five trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas, 95 million barrels of oil and condensate reserves, and 400 million tons of coal. Unfortunately, ongoing instability in certain areas of the country, remote and rugged terrain, and inadequate infrastructure and transportation network have made mining these resources difficult, and there have been few serious attempts to further explore or exploit them.

    100,000 gallons a day?

    Don’t think so cause they are allready admitting to 1.7 million gallons a day http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/us_and_canada/10290238.stm

    So I think Lindsey is right so you more have to think about 4-5 millions gallons a day since they are always underestimating it for propaganda reasons.

    Mep wrote what I was going to write. The US will never leave now.

  200. The US will leave Afghanistan just like it left Nam, with its tail between its legs

  201. it’s an ill wind that blows no one some good.
    With the misery along the east coast, the citizans of the US may come to understand the misery they inflict on others with their desire to control the world.

    The only people that are a threat to the US is their own Military industrial complex.

  202. @ Alan

    A true irony that those who provide the equipment for genuine defense of a country instead …

    Ahh, you know already what I was going to say

    “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

    We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together. ”

  207. @Youri-

    The “Afghan riches” story may be a red herring to stimulate the greed of American/Euro business types who are starting to complain about the war. The average WSJ/FT moron has no clue that the war is to keep China energy insecure, and to use the dope for lunch money.

  208. @Youri, wow, that Abduction link seemed pretty lame. Hasn’t anyone gone anywhere with that strange Sumerian and 2012 coincidence. There have got to be aliens out there and why is it only goof balls talk about it.

    O.K. was that cake iced, did they use marzipan? What was it filled with and are you still well after eating the whole thing? You must have had a party there. Thanks for the photos.
