Quote for the day:
"So just remember one thing. Silver prices can double overnight, at anytime, and it's totally impossible to predict when it will happen. And yet, at some unexpected day out of the blue, silver prices will likely double, and nobody will understand why, except me, and you. Because we know that the silver market is just way too small, and prices just way too low." ~ Jason Hommel

Thought I’d let it go for a while, but over Saturday, Sunday and Monday I discovered these, and they’re worthy of your attention, Dear Reader.

On Youtube, a very short and concise explanation of what is happening and the argument for immediacy of action.
The End of Silver Manipulation

Discovered this one too.
History of the Meltdown - This whole website is a find.

And a Youtube preview of a Cannes Award winner yet to be released.
Inside Job

And a brilliant article written a few years back:
Physical Silver Yes, Speculation No! By Israel Friedman

Richard Russell - Fiat Money To Meet Its End - Highlights the biggest fraud of the last half a century and how it will end -
“Investors sometimes get caught up in the day to day and week to week movements in gold and silver. Don’t waste your time or energy on that, just accumulate. Standing in front of us is the greatest transfer of wealth in history. When the dust settles, those holding the gold will make the rules.”

An Interesting graph: Gold - The Big Picture

And finally for today, Jasom Hommel answers the question, "How can silver prices double at any time?" in his latest article: When Will Silver Prices Explode? (ANYTIME!) He says:
"The Tiny Silver Market attracts 1% of 1%, or $1 out of every $10,000 in the US Banking system, each year. By the time 1% of paper money tries to buy silver in one year, there will be 100 times as much investor buying of silver as today, which will be about $180 billion trying to buy only 750 million ounces of annual world production, which implies a silver price of about $240/oz., or perhaps higher."

That's it for the weekend

Good AM, Dear Reader

Dave in Denver at The Golden Truth has a very interesting observation: GLD Managing Director Jason Toussaint Does Not Own ANY GLD Shares... The title may not make sense to you until you realize that GLD is the Trade Name for the largest “Paper Gold” ETF (Exchange Traded Fund). It’s where people are trading in Gold Stocks but not actually buying it for personal possession. He points out that it is such a delusion that even the insider managers of this market (who, BTW, are making millions from it) do not own any.

The most important item today is an interview with James Turk, the founder of GoldMoney.com. It's with Eric King over at King World News. It's all about silver... and how bullish things look. It certainly worth your time... listen to the mp3 here.

GATA has three new articles of interest. It’s always worth a gander at GATA. If you want an easy way to review the news, log onto my Silvernews blog and click on the sources on the left. They’ll open up in separate tabs for easy perusing.

I added some five new links yesterday to the ‘Historical Articles” section (lower left). This is some heady stuff, when you get down to the relationships of G&S not just to economies but to the very roots of life itself.. Don’t know about you but I’m learning a lot and trying to make it available for you too. Y’know, “Seek knowledge from the cradle……” Take a look also at the “Education / Background” Sec-tion on the right.

Between GATA, FOFOA and Bastiat, you got it all.

Don’t forget to check out “Before it’s News” and “Activist Post”.

That’s it for today.

Lots of love to you all and may your Ramadan be full of blessings

Greetings, Dear Reader

Today’s news is brief. I do hope, however that you have taken a moment to review the latest post on my Silvernews blog:

A summary article of interest in the G&S market is this. Even though the title may sound uninteresting, he links a lot of history in a short form. http://www.gata.org/node/8962

And this one too, you might also find educational, even though, again, the title is the least interesting part of the article. Proposing and Overnight Gold Fund.

And, did I mention this yesterday? It’s still very interesting.
1% of 1% - (The Silver Market is tiny, tiny, tiny !)

As you may have noticed, I’m starting to wind down a bit on the newsletter bit. Thanks for your indulgence. I’ve succeeded in gathering to my Silvernews blog most of the core information needed for the study of G&S, and discovered, of course, that I’m nowhere near alone in this. Most of the essential in-formation can be found on GATA, as they link-reference all of their sources who are the real movers and shakers in this market and study - granted it took me a while of personal investigation and study to come to this conclusion.

Thanks for helping me build my Silvernews blog, and I hope you find it useful in the future. Please feel free to give me a call if I can help put your hard earnings into real value, and I cannot emphasize enough the benefit to you of immediate action.

Lots of love to you all, and yes, I’ll still send out any news I think you should know.

Dear reader,

Today’s news is simple and summed up by this brief article. Use all the usual sources to fill yourself in.

Silver Flying, Gold Marching Towards Highs - Very brief and worth the read.

This one is again interesting from Jason Hommel
1% of 1% - (The Silver Market is tiny, tiny, tiny !)
and his archive is here.

And for you really deep philosophers, FOFOA has written again. He calls it ‘Incredibility Inflation’ and it’s worth the trouble you might have to understand the concept. You might then recognize it as a variant of the broader theme of truth and the application or manipulation of belief.

Thanks to you ALL for the many B'day greetings. I only wish for you that you are aware of the potential for loss of savings (yours and your parents/relatives/friends) if you still have investments of any kind anywhere. The price of Silver has just shot up considerably, and although it mat not be permanent, the pundits have been predicting this for so long now that we might actually say, "It's about time." But more than that, the powers that be have been reading the same blogs exposing their manipulation and predicting their downfall that there is no way they can't be aware of the true value of Gold and Silver and make a sudden and not so surreptitious run for it. And that may well be what's happening right this minute.

The true value of Gold and Silver is astronomical in terms of the lightning fall of the dollar. and those who know are doing something about it right now. And it's true that it is quite possible for Big Money to make such a run that it would leave precious little for the little guy (you and me).

So I urge you. READ from some of the sources on this page. The argument is inexorable. See what's happening right now by clicking on the Kitco Link. Get your savings free. Take the loss in fees, fines and taxes. What you invest now in Silver and if you can afford it, Gold, will pay off so well, even if it does dip again (which we hope it will, but don't wait), that you will not miss the fees you may have paid in 'losses'.

Please call me if you would like to expedite the matter quickly. I've got my fingers on the very best sources and have helped many of my local friends already. Let's get going, while the going is good.

Gold Demand Increases 36% as Investors Increase Allocations to Bullion

Silver and gold explosive, Hinde Capital's Ben Davies tells King World News Submitted by cpowell on Wed, 2010-08-25 02:27. Section: Daily Dispatches; 10:15p ET Tuesday, August 24, 2010
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):
Eric King of King World News today did a timely interview about gold and silver with Ben Davies, CEO of Hinde Capital in London. They discussed what Davies called the "fascinating" action in silver today, his expectation of price explosions this fall in both gold and silver, China's increasing leadership in the gold market, and the likelihood of currency devaluations, among other things. You can listen to the interview at the King World News Internet site linked above.

Good afternoon, Dear Reader

Silver jumped today from 17.80 to 18.50. http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html#ny
That’s a larger jump in just a few minute than I’ve ever seen. It leads on to suspect that this might be the beginning of the long awaited and oft-predicted boom. A run on Silver (and Gold) is inevitable. I just hope we’ve got ours before the prices become prohibitive (for some). Remains to be seen how long it will stay there but I expect it will, eventually, and start it’s climb to the astronomical prices that it is really worth without all the price suppression manipulation by the big money players. Oh, well. We’ll see.

Ed Steer will certainly have something to say tomorrow. If you haven’t already subscribed to his email newsletter, I highly suggest it. It’s fun to read if you like this sort of thing. http://www.caseyresearch.com/displayGsd.php

Wanna know more about how manipulation works? Check this: "Manipulating the Silver Market" http://www.fgmr.com/manipulating-the-silver-market.html

And from Ed Steer's news: “The last precious metals-related story is a GATA release from late yesterday. Chris Powell uses the headline "Over lunch with FT, more igno-rant snickering about gold". The headline from London's Financial Times reads "Lunch with the FT: Adam Fergusson". Powell's headline is right on the money... as is his lengthy preamble. The link to that, and the FT story, is here.” http://www.gata.org/node/8953 .. Both are must reads.

Dave in Denver says today:
“Everyone who has and does scrutinize the precious metals market on a daily basis is well aware that the physical supply of gold and silver is getting scarce, especially relative to the size of the massive paper short positions taken on by the big bullion banks here and in Europe. Silver as I write this is now pressing $18.40... One of these days a big foreign buyer is going to attempt to take a large silver delivery from the Comex and the Comex will default. It will be "game over" then for our system and a devastating currency crisis will erupt, along with hyperinflation. Prepare accordingly.” http://truthingold.blogspot.com/

OK! So here’s what Happened!

Good Morning, Dear Reader. The week is beginning and it is expected to be interesting.

My choices for today’s reading (if you have the time and interest) would be:

James Turk - Upside Explosion In Silver
"James Turk focuses once again on the silver market. He is ultimately anticipating an explosion in the price of silver with a few wiggles in between. Pessimism relating to silver has been increasing for quite some time now, with virtually everyone waiting for the price to collapse. The rise in pessimism is a classic example of how bull markets like to climb a wall of worry."

Richard Russell - The Stock Market Is Crumbling

'Atlas Shrugged': From Fiction to Fact in 52 Years

On the Way Down: The Erosion of America's Middle Class
~ By Thomas Schulz

Obama's Modification Program Causing More Foreclosures
NIA's VisionVictory just posted a new must see video about how foreclosures are surging as Obama encourages more of the same behavior that caused the housing crisis. Please watch this video immediately by visiting NIA's video page at
http://inflation.us/videos.html

And just as a matter of course, I recommend a daily peek at GATA’s list of recent articles. http://www.gata.org/ and the same goes for Activist Post - http://www.activistpost.com/

That should do it for today. I’ll let you know if anything special arises.

The World Won't Flock to Paper
Here’s a hot one (especially the first two or so paragraphs) from the National Inflation Association, who by the way are leading the field in accurate reporting and predictions.

This one is a ‘must read’.
The Ecstasy of Empire: How Close Is America’s Demise?
“Without a revolution, Americans are history.” ~ by Paul Craig Roberts

And also from Global Research:
Mounting Opposition to GMO Crops: The World’s People Reject Genetic Pollution of Food and the Environment ~ by Rady Ananda

From Activist Post
Ben & Jerry's 'natural' ice cream filled with unnatural ingredients
“CSPI has been after Ben & Jerry's, which is now part of the consumer product conglomerate Unilever, since 2002 over deceptive labeling. After bringing these problems to the attention of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at that time, CSPI has watched the quality of Ben & Jerry's products get even worse.” Etc….

This one seems to be the BIG news:
Silver Velocity - The Coming Bullet
Ed Steer’s intro is enough: "Hinde Capital in London, whose CEO, Ben Davies, lately has thrown himself into the campaign to expose manipulation of the precious metals markets, published a long report this month on the excellent prospects for silver, citing the concentrated short position of the bullion banks and the work of silver market analyst Ted Butler.
“… it's a long report... a 12-page pdf file to be exact... with lots of graphs. It's a must read of course, but it's something you can pick away at on the weekend if you don't have the time at the moment."
It can also be found on kingworldnews.com

As always, Ed steer’s Daily is always worth the time:

That's it for today. Happy Reading

No doubt now. Activist Post is my leading and most interesting news source. I recommend you view it daily. Especially the 'Today's Most Viewd Articles' list on the right. http://www.activistpost.com/

Today’s Casey Report starts out as an attempt to find some good news for the day, but alas, he sadly admits that it is hard to find. What results is a pretty down-to earth assessment of the status quo. Well worth reviewing. His report is a good one to sign up for. http://www.caseyresearch.com/displayCdd.php?id=512

“The growth in foreign dollar holdings has placed upon the United States a special responsibility--that of maintaining the dollar as the principal reserve currency of the free world. This required that the dollar be considered by many countries to be as good as gold. It is our responsibility to sustain this confidence.” - President John F. Kennedy days after he took office in January, 1961

Now THIS is a VERY interesting article!! In fact, it’s so historical and informative that I’ve added it to the links in the Historical Article section of my blog.
The Great American Disaster: How Much Gold Remains In Fort Knox?
http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig11/weber-c1.1.1.html

***
OK! Got to pass it along. I just discovered two really good sites for viewing 1) Documentaries, and 2) Classy Films of the entertainment variety.
Divx Only http://divxonly.com offers a selection of GOOD films (“Sorcerer”, anyone?)
and Wide Eye Cinema http://wideeyecinema.com/ has the most amazing intro video in film history (2 minutes of sheer amazement) on its homepage, plus a huge collection of pertinent and contemporary documentaries. Pinned ‘em both to my blog.

Enjoy
That’s it for today.

Ed Steer is on to something this am. Take a look at the 1997 Gold V. Silver chart in the middle of his report and read the comments below it. The rest of his daily is worthy of review also.

Here’s one from GATA that should interest you if you want to know how price suppression works or are holding EFT’s in G&S or somehow still think it’s a good idea. Gold, silver ETFs are price-suppression schemes, Hinde Capital report finds This one is seriously important, and even though you may not read the whole report as it seems quite long and complicated to me, at least get the gist of it from GATA’s summary. And note the fact that was unexpectedly picked up by mainstream Financial Times (FT), which signifies something…

And also in the same vein from GATA, this: A review of gold, silver market manipulation complaints to the CFTC You may wonder why this is important. Let’s remember that the end of the manipulation to keep G&S prices suppressed will mark the beginning of the ‘boom’. It’s not far off, folks. So of course, the sooner you buy into your share of G&S, the better off you may be in the long run.

That’s all for today, folks.
See ya tomorrow.

Taking an early look at Kitco for today reveals an impressive upswing of S&G spots. We’ll know why later, I’m sure.

http://www.activistpost.com/2010/08/fixing-economy-with-state-owned-banks.html
Here’s an informative video on Fixing the Economy: State owned Banks from Ellen Brown. Ellen Brown is that acclaimed author of “Web of Debt” http://www.webofdebt.com/ (Google it for related blogs, videos, etc.)

http://www.opednews.com/articles/Hemp-and-Empire-by-Rand-Clifford-100814-92.html
Here’s an interesting review clearly and concisely relating the suppression of hemp to the collapse of the economy. It also suggests that reversion to hemp production might be the means of survival, bringing up not just industrial and agricultural uses, but food and nutritional value as well. It’s two pages and a bit of a read, but if you want a review of the essentials and another reality check, here it is.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwhKuunp8D8
Some of you may be wondering what the fuss over the president’s birth status is all about. This video states the case pretty clearly.

I’d lie to clarify my view a bit on the relationship between G&S and politics.

The long term decline and seemingly inevitable collapse of the Washington empire - which in itself is the product of centuries of greed and scheming from the ancient temples of the nefarious Money Masters/Changers - is directly related to the current prices of gold and silver (PM’s or Precious Metals).

As the value of the dollar decreases to nothing, the values of gold and silver, which throughout the history of the world have always been ‘real’ money - so it might be said that that is the purpose of their existence - increases (to ‘everything’).

Knowing this by virtue of the traditions handed down from the earliest Philosophers of Monopoly, the powers that be in the world of high finance are seeking to benefit from their efforts 1) to use all the power they have to control the values of G&S relative to the dollar, and 2) to keep it a secret for as long as possible.

This begs the questions of why and how.

Why: The longer the value of the dollar can remain inflated (over true value), the longer the ‘economy’, such as it is, remains intact, and the less fear is spread among the people, thereby avoiding ‘runs on the bank’, so to speak, and, more importantly, runs on gold and silver. This allows for more time to gain further leverage, riches and control, thereby in theory, ensuring the survival of themselves and their posterity through selfsame collapse, which they, under another hat, are financing and engineering. (The old ‘survival of the fittest’ routine that serves them as their substitute for faith in God).

How: by buying and selling their vast investments in these markets (G&S) rapidly at volumes no one else can approach (these are the ‘bullion banks’, controlled by the CB’s [Central Banks] of the various nations). When they see the ‘prices’ rising, as they naturally must, they buy or sell, as the case may be, to keep the prices down, thereby maintaining the illusion (for the masses) of a more or less ‘stable’ economy (for reasons mentioned above).

The maintenance of this illusion for as long as possible is one of the central reasons for the power-grab over the Internet, which, through exposure, is the only tool capable of their destruction, other that nature itself.

Admittedly, there is much more to it than that, but that should suffice as a primer to what’s actually happening.

There are two bits of good news to all this - the total and disastrous collapse of the national economy notwithstanding.
1) The prices (of silver, at any rate) are still affordable to those lucky enough to have savings and smart enough to take them out of the banks and invest them into the physical possession of Silver), and
2) IT’S GONNA END, AND SOON!! They cannot keep it up and they know it. That’s why all the nations and CB’s are going for the gold! Read the previously posted article, The Best Gold Interview of 2010 - If it's no longer there, you can get it here.

Let’s be clear on one fact. This current state of affairs, this empire, was NOT the point and purpose of the Great American Experiment. In fact, the possibility and even the inevitability of this kind of takeover was clearly predicted and warned against by numerous of the founding fathers* and many of the more recent presidents including John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Dwight David Eisenhower. Please review these ever-significant videos of these two presidents stating the facts clearly for all to hear.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kX0sLFXR0Q

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd8wwMFmCeE
Also to be found under ‘Educational Videos’ on this blog.

On the contrary, we now exist in a national empire the avoidance of which was one of the main reasons for our founding fathers, authors of the Declaration of Independence, writing The Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill of Rights. We enjoyed freedom and prosperity, as well as the respect of nations, for nearly two centuries, all the while the bankers and their progeny were scheming to take it away from us, and now it looks like they’ve succeeded. But God is always Supreme, and all revelations tell us of the plotters and schemers that “They plan and God plans. And surely God is the best of planners.”

So enjoy your ill-gotten gains at the expense and live of millions for a short while. And enjoy your belief that this life is all there is and that there is no judgment on your purely evil intentions. Surely you shall taste the consequences of your deeds, and all your plotting and planning will come to no avail.

*“Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.” William Penn

*“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”
– Thomas Jefferson

OK! That’s my brief intro to “what and why”, and what I think of it all.
Hope I’m not boring you.

“There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.” ~ Ludwig von Mises – Austrian Economist (1881- 1973)

Dear Reader,

Yesterday’s post was significant, as I believe most of them are. I encourage you to read as much as you can.
BUT, This JUST in from Casey Research, and I believe it states my argument in plain and simple terms: Hurry! Don’t wait. This is not your grandfather’s economy. Events are happening rapidly and people are figuring it out at exponential rates of speed.
Please Read this one: The Best Gold Interview of 2010
If it's no longer there, you can get it here.

I've been interested in finding out more about the people and powers that manipulate the G&S Markets, and it turns out that 'Bullion Banks' have a lot to do with that. So I searched a bit and came up with concise explanation of who and how.
Bullion Banks: Smarter than the Rest of Us or Just More Informed?
It's a chapter from Gold Market Lending: An inside look at one of the most opaque Central Bank activities, its impact on the gold market and how IMF policy can change the market to benefit all participants

Ali’s News of Silver, Gold and the Economy- #11

Wednesday’s spot price chart at Kitco (See it here if you’re interested)
http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html#ny indicates that the manipulators are playing with what amounts to $.50.

But since they’re playing on a moment to moment basis with millions if not billions of dollars, this relatively minor fluctuation is a big deal to them. To the individual ‘safe haven’ buyer it means relatively nothing. That is because we’re ‘savers’, not players. We’re in it for the long haul and for the intrinsic value of the precious metal we store. We’re aware of the fact that although corruption may never end in our lifetime, it stands no real chance against the forces of nature – Gold and Silver WILL rise to their true values vis-à-vis the ever-devaluating dollar, and the people who had the good sense to get out while they still had something intact will preserve themselves, God willing. I believe that someday we’ll be smiling and saying to each other. “Good God! Can you remember when we bought this stuff at les than $20 an ounce?” And as for the speculators? Some will and some won’t! It’s the nature of gambling to never be certain.

Here’s an article from Barron’s called ‘The Golden Mean’. It’s worth a glance if you have a moment. http://webreprints.djreprints.com/2467711363988.pdf
“The financial model of the nation-state depends on deficit finance to fund promises and the market is starting to say it is unsustainable.” ~ John Hathaway

Dave in Denver says in The Golden Truth: http://truthingold.blogspot.com/
"Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong" (John Galt, "Atlas Shrugged"). http://truthingold.blogspot.com/2010/08/us-is-in-deep-trouble.html

Before it’s News scores again with this short and concise article:
The Two-Front War on Gold - http://beforeitsnews.com/story/133/964/The_Two-Front_War_on_Gold.html

Today (Thursday) might be an interesting day to watch Gold, according to this article given to us by ‘Before it’s News’: http://beforeitsnews.com/story/134/826/Why_You_Should_Buy_Gold_Right_Now.html Not quit sure what it means but I’m sure to find out.

And in the end, I leave you with yet another pithy quote from God only knows where but it makes sense:
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails Amer-ica. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama... who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” - Author unknown

I’m recommending my new SilverNews BlogSpot now as it’s pretty well updated and lookin’ gooood!! http://surrenderworks.blogspot.com/

Greetings and Ramadan Mubarrak, Dear Reader.

Did you notice the unveiling of the 'World's Largest Clock?"

Not to be outdone by the English, and a few hundred years too late, our friends in Arabia have unveiled 'Big Bin", the 'Son of Ben'. Oh, You'll LOVE This!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/10/worlds-largest-clock-phot_n_677515.html

And now back to stuff that matters:

Again, Activist Post (http://www.activistpost.com/) comes up with some winners today. A full slate of pertinent articles, among which are these

Reagan Insider: 'GOP destroyed economy'
http://www.activistpost.com/2010/08/reagan-insider-gop-destroyed-economy.html
A new take on what’s happening.

And, get this…
‘Why hemp could save the world’
http://www.activistpost.com/2010/08/why-hemp-could-save-world.html

From ‘Truth in Gold’, http://truthingold.blogspot.com/
Obama's Dangerously and Rapidly Expanding Government
http://truthingold.blogspot.com/2010/08/obamas-dangerously-and-rapidly.html
“The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man's rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence...The only proper functions of a government are: the police, to protect you from criminals; the army, to protect you from foreign invaders; and the courts, to protect your property and contracts from breach or fraud by others, to set-tle disputes by rational rules, according to objective law.” (John Galt, "Atlas Shrugged").

...“One more point of rant today. The FOMC announced today that the Fed will be buying more Treasury debt to help support the economy. Can someone please explain to me how enabling the Government to borrow even more money actually supports the economy? The only way you can hope to protect yourself against the abuses of the Obama Government and corrupt banking system he enables is to move as much of your wealth as possible into physical gold and silver and some into mining stocks.

And Again, ‘Before It’s News’ – Gold and Silver Section, has more confirming article of varied interest. http://beforeitsnews.com/stories/in/0000000000000023

Discovered this on ‘The Daily Reckoning’.
Ready, Set, Gold! Best Months Are Just Ahead
http://dailyreckoning.com/ready-set-gold-best-months-are-just-ahead/
And where Gold goes, silver is sure to follow…

That’s it for today. Review again yesterday’s letter. It’s a recurrent and central theme well worth understanding. I now have a Blog on Blogspot,
http://surrenderworks.blogspot.com/
where the article can be read and reviewed (and commented on).

When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men... they create for themselves, in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it, and a moral code that glorifies it. – Frederic Bastiat, The Law [1850]

What’s happening? Not much, but it is sooo much the calm before the storm.
While Silver is continuing its struggle to rise to its true value in spite of the continued efforts of ‘da boyz’ of JPMorgan and the big bullion banks to keep it down through the manipulation of their temporary dollar power (which, by the way, is to our advantage temporarily), it is becoming an increasingly popular theory that they cannot keep it up forever and are fighting a last ditch losing battle against the forces of nature during which they are attempting to buy as much as they can as cheap as they can (that should be the clue to us also) to shore themselves up against the upcoming and absolutely inevitable collapse of the American economy, which has seriously begun and the end of which is nowhere in sight.

In Summary:
We’re holding steady on our opinion that silver is about to boom and continuing to recommend the extraction of dollars from any system and the asap purchase of physical bullion in any quantities for personal possession while the price is still low.

Interesting News today… but the headlines tell it all…

Nothing Has Changed, Gold Is Still Going to Dominate
http://www.activistpost.com/2010/08/nothing-has-changed-gold-is-still-going.html

BUT - THIS you’ve got to see!!!
http://welcometoafreeworld.blogspot.com/2010/08/new-world-orders-great-city-astana.html

Dear Reader, I’m adding a new section to the SilverNews Web Page called Background / Education to include some of the great foundational educational pieces helping us to un-derstand the role of Truth and Reality in all this Mess. One of the best pieces I’ve found is:

THE LAW - by Frederic Bastiat

From The Introduction - by Walter Williams
Walter E. Williams is the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia.

“I must have been forty years old before reading Frederic Bastiat’s classic The Law. An anonymous person, to whom I shall eternally be in debt, mailed me an unsolicited copy. Af-ter reading the book I was convinced that a liberal-arts education without an encounter with Bastiat is incomplete. Reading Bastiat made me keenly aware of all the time wasted, along with the frustrations of going down one blind alley after another, organizing my philosophy of life. The Law did not produce a philosophical conversion for me as much as it created or-der in my thinking about liberty and just human conduct.

"Many philosophers have made important contributions to the discourse on liberty, Bastiat among them. But Bastiat’s greatest contribution is that he took the discourse out of the ivory tower and made ideas on liberty so clear that even the unlettered can understand them and statists cannot obfuscate them. Clarity is crucial to persuading our fellowman of the moral superiority of personal liberty.

"Like others, Bastiat recognized that the greatest single threat to liberty is government. Notice the clarity he employs to help us identify and understand evil government acts such as legal-ized plunder. Bastiat says, “See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.” ….

Read also the Afterword for more about it. Download it. Keep it. Read it to your kids. It might be the only taste of intellectual reality they get on the subject for quite a while.

That's it for now.

Ali’s Daily Perusing of Contemporary Web News - #7

(Please browse through the five previous articles in the archives section of my SilverNews Web Page to get caught up on my reasons fro doing this and my thanks to you for indulging me.)

Good AM, News Buffs…

The day starts with this one.
John Williams: Approaching the Abyss - http://www.theaureport.com/pub/na/7009
ShadowStats.com Editor John Williams—to whom many Gold Report contributors look for honest data on the economy that they can trust—sees sure signs of an accelerating downward economic spiral that will lead to almost unimaginable hyperinflation in the U.S. As he says in this exclusive interview, we're in for "a much rougher time than they had in Zimbabwe," because we'll have no black market currencies around to prevent the cessation of normal commerce.

How’s That for good news to start you day?. Oh, well. Better forewarned and prepared than surprised, disappointed and taken aback.

TIP! By the way, are you listening to SOMAFM in the background while you’re doing your computin’? Huh? http://somafm.com/ - Smart folks from San Francisco. They have several channels for your taste but I recommend the one called Suburbs of Goa.

Here’s an extremely informative and well-presented documentary called, The Secret of OZ - This a Sequel to "The Money Masters;" A Brilliant Expose on the Engineered Downfall of the American Economy and how it was perceived by L. Frank Baum, author of “The Wizard of OZ”. Bet you never knew…. http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTcyMjM1MjE2.html

The Archive section of Activist Post is certainly worth a gander –
http://www.activistpost.com/p/original-archives.html

Of particular interest is this new (2009) film called Collapse. Watch the preview at the bottom of this page. Buy it. Watch it. It’s time to take it seriously, folks. Dare to Prepare.
http://www.activistpost.com/2010/08/dare-to-prepare-collapse-of.html

The National Inflation Association has released a video report about Japan's "Lost Dec-ade" of deflation and how it relates to the U.S. economy. 'Japan: America's Lost Decade' is the most comprehensive video ever produced about Japan's deflationary crisis of the 1990s. It proves that America is more likely to experience hyperinflation this decade and not deflation like Japan. NIA is mentioned on my main page as a substantial contributor and this is yet another example. http://inflation.us/videos.html

Gotta mention Ed Steer’s Daily again. His picks for readable articles in the second half are usually pretty good reading, and you gotta like his attitude. You can read it daily at http://www.caseyresearch.com/displayGsd.php - but I subscribe. It’s free.

Be sure to take a quick gander at Before It’s News: Gold and Silver section.
http://beforeitsnews.com/stories/in/0000000000000023

That’s it for now. Let me know if I can help you convert cash to silver. The best places to buy are list on my SilveNews web page. http://www.surrenderworks.com/silvernews

Have a great day.
See ya Monday,

Ali’s Daily Perusing of Contemporary Web News - #6

(Please browse through the five previous articles in the archives section of my SilverNews Web Page to get caught up on my reasons fro doing this and my thanks to you for indulging me.)

Starting off with a Bang! This just in from TOPDOCS - Worthy of your review.
Where Are We Now and Where Are We Going?
http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/where-are-we-now-and-where-are-we-going/

And this from Marianne Williamson on HuffPost
Millennium Development Goals: Love in Action
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/marianne-williamson/millennium-development-go_b_664935.html

Even thought it seems to be fluctuating wildly (well, within $.70), there is still a notice-able incline in the price of Silver. Where else can it go, really? Ed Steer says this (among so much else), “Well, JPMorgan et al made it perfectly clear to all those who were watch-ing, that they aren't going to let things fly to the upside until they're darn good and ready. The attack on silver after the London p.m. gold fix was particularly vicious. ”

This is in reference to the well known control that JPM has over the profitable manipulation of the silver market. Which by the way, is destined to stop, thereby triggering a massive (and justly so) increase in silver value to its true worth which can only be speculated, but it’s way, way more that current day spot. That, dear reader, is what us “Savers” are counting on, and one of the main reasons why we are in the process of buying as much as possible, as soon as possible. Which, again, is what I’m recommending fro the double reason that the dollar economy is doomed and there is no reason for us to lose our security, and the silver market has yet to boom, promising considerable increase in wealth for the astute and observant. That’s it in a nutshell.

To emphasize Ed’s newsletter, which is one of the two I highly recommend for its amiable readability and up-to-date info, I’m going to list this link daily as a reminder. It’s called Ed Steer’s Gold and Silver Daily and is a part of Casey Research.

It seems this AM that Silver is trying again to climb to its rightful position. How long will it continue until it gets squashed again? Who know but probably no long. Let’s wait and see.

Continuing to peruse:
Activist Post (rapidly becoming my #1 interesting spot) scores again with several inter-esting headlines. http://www.activistpost.com/

‘Before it’s News’ has also some interesting headlines – worth a look
http://beforeitsnews.com/stories/in/0000000000000023

MineWeb today published another excellent analysis by Lawrence Williams, this one about China's impact on the financial markets - http://www.gata.org/node/8889
It is especially compelling in light of the Bloomberg News report from Beijing just dis-patched. http://www.gata.org/node/8888

If you have some extra time and interest, I always recommend FOFOA. Read up on some of his back articles. http://fofoa.blogspot.com/

This is all about educating ourselves and keeping current with the day-to-day events and some of the history leading to some soon-to-be historic changes in global and national economy which will, more or less dramatically, affect us all. The idea is that the more knowledgeable and prepared we are the better off we’ll be and able to help others rather than standing in need of help ourselves. The gist of this message is to tend to your security. So stay with me on this. Get your security out of the realm of ‘maybe’ and into something real. Physical Silver seems to be the best bet.

The three companies I buy from are listed at the top of my SilveNews web page.

That’s it for today. Call me if you want to discuss anything.

Daily Perusing – A review of interesting News Of The Day gleaned from the websites listed on my SilverNew web page –http://www.surrenderworks.com/silvernews
From Ali Ansari – Carbondale, Illinois; 618-698-8001

Dear Reader: nothing spectacular today but some article of interest are:

Activist Post –
Cancer cells slurp up fructose, U.S. study finds
http://www.activistpost.com/2010/08/cancer-cells-slurp-up-fructose-us-study.html

My usual listed news sources are worth a browse, but I find most of today’s submissions rather hi-tech and probably not of immediate interest to you. Biggest news is that China has entered into the gold market big time and has no faith in (will eventually dump) US Treasuries….. Ho Hum

However….
As I promised yesterday, more about FOFOA today. There is a very fine explanation of and introduction to the work of “Another” to be found here. It really IS a very interesting story. At least read the introduction to get a feel for the work of FOFOA.

Also, you might be interested to pay bit of attention to a video interview done by Ed Griffin (19980) with Norman Dodd. Norman Dodd was the head of a senate commission to investigate the motives of several of the larger non-profit “benevolent” organizations, and what he uncovered is really profound, amazing and hard to believe. But it’s worth understanding, ‘cause it helps us to understand part of how we’re in the fix we’re in as an economy and a nation. The video link is here. There are transcripts here and here. But listen to the interview. It’s worth it.

For those of you who are new and as a review for the ‘old-timers’ (Yeah! FIVE issues today!), I’d like to restate the purpose of this newsletter, and cite some article leading me to want to do this.

There is no doubt that the US Economy is in the most precarious position ever. The consistent overlooking of real justice in favor of corruption and greed has left us in a virtually irreparable situation and all indications say that we’re going down and a spectacular and dramatic (if not tragic for many) way.

For most of us there is precious little we can do about except to be forewarned and well prepared. Part of this preparation is the withdrawal of any capital fund we may have invested in the now crashing eco-nomic system. This means EVERYTHING, at ANY cost. PAY the taxes. Pay the fines, but by no means leave anything behind. This will prove to be your wisest move under the circumstances, as I’ll explain to you gradually.

As a result of the inevitable devaluation of the dollar, and as a result of 6,000 years of human history, the values of gold and silver are resurfacing in the common mind. Even though the big money people have for centuries known about this and been attempting to own it all, there is still sufficient to go around and secure the financial stability of those wise enough to extract there cash while they can and purchase therewith as much physical silver as possible at any current price. I have recommendations.

This is not something to think about and “consider your options”. This is the only option and I encourage you to do it right now! I hate to be the one breaking it to you, but I sincerely believe that if you agree with this, you can stay happy and secure as opposed to possibly disappointed and desperate.

That is the purpose of my newsletter: to inform you of current and past articles evidencing this current event and the necessity of taking action right now. Of course, if you have no invested savings then in a way you have nothing to lose and maybe no action is necessary. But you surely have friend to whom you can bring this news and help with the extraction of their funds and the purchase therewith of real wealth. You may ask, “Why silver? Why not Gold”? And I’m happy to explain why silver is estimated to be 4 times the investment potential of gold and that gold will always appreciate, but it has already boomed whereas silver has not. It has reached an increasing plateau, but silver has not yet. Silver is however destined to explode at any time due to a variety of reasons which I’ll try to enumerate in com-ing issues and which you can discover for yourself if you are interested and follow the leads I provide.

One of the shortest and most concise statements of position/attitude is called “Chimps, Chumps and Champs” by FOFOA. It can be found here. Another slightly longer and a bit more detailed is called “The Debtors and the Savers” and it can be found here.

I sincerely hope you enjoy these easily deletable daily missives and will stay with me towards a peaceful and secure outcome. Please feel free to call or discuss this with anyone. My only interest is yours and my personal security in what are undoubtedly going to be very tumultuous times.

This article along with the others will be posted in the archives section of my SilverNews web page, at

Lots of love and peace to you all

August 3, 2010; Tuesday, 9AM

And today we have another treat from FOFOA http://fofoa.blogspot.com/ called “Relativity: What is Physical Gold REALLY Worth?” I have yet to read it but some people really know their stuff and enjoy teaching. He (or She?) is undoubtedly one of those people.

I got my first taste of FOFOA from reading the July 7th article entitled “The Debtors and the Savers” – which can be found at http://fofoa.blogspot.com/2010/07/debtors-and-savers.html - I did a PDF here. It is a penultimate position/attitude statement much the same as “Chimps, Champs and Chumps”, but more elaborate in detail.

A bit of history: FOFOA means Friend of a Friend of Another. This piqued my curiosity. It turns out that ‘Another” was an actual anonymous educator in strategies of high finance with specific focus on the Gold and Silver Market and the how’s and why’s of its corruption and manipulation. A kind of Whistleblower who soon became highly respected and to the best of my inadequate knowledge remained anonymous. FOA (Friend of another) was the same kind of person who supported, commented on and added to the work of “Another”. Mind you this is just my brief understanding and I clearly do not have all the facts. Anyway these two people did a lot for the education of the layperson and obviously FOFOA is following along in the same vein. At any rate, their posts are always interesting and informative, if you’re into this sort of thing. I’ll be writing more about this interesting educational stream later.

Dave in Denver from “The Golden Truth” has something to say today. It’s brief and worth a visit.

And again, as it seems always, “Activist Post” is worth a visit.

“Before it’s News”? Take a look at the headlines. See if anything piques your interest. It didn’t mine but I might read something later.

GATA is always interesting and informative, but you gotta know something about what they’re talking about but it requires some worthwhile time and study if you’re really into it.

And again, King World News has some easier to understand new articles worth a look.

Summary: Looks like FOFOA is the interesting read of the day, folks. Silver started this AM below 18.40 and in the last hour is jumping all over the chart. But you know that our attitude is independent of the fluctuations on any scale or chart. Our long-term position is simply “buy now, as much as you can as cheap as you can”, ‘cause the small time changes are nothing compared to the long-term inevitabilities.

The best two newsletters I’ve found from the pro’s are: Ed Steer's Gold and Silver Daily and Casey Research.

Hope that’s brief and informative, as I promised. Please feel free to pass it along to anyone else who might be interested in such things and thanks again for you indulgence in my little folly.

The four earlier newsletters can be revisited in the archives section of my SilverNews web page.

August 2, 2010; Monday, 9AM

As expected, Silver started today’s market at a low of 18.05 and shot within the hour to nearly 18.45. Some $.40. Maybe some pundits will have an explanation of this later today. It’s pretty routine after a steady weekend for the manipulation to begin with a bang beginning the week. For the “Savers” though, all this “kiddin’ on the keys” is of little significance. We still hold to the philosophy of “Buy the Dips”.

First perusing brings up this article from HuffPost entitled “Sufi Islam: Reclaiming Muslim Spirituality”
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/fahad-faruqui/sufi-islam-reclaiming-mus_b_664541.html
It’s a short read and not anything we don’t know already, but interesting, and fun.

And, as usual, Activist Post has a series of interesting and timely articles. This blog is now at the top of my list. How DO they do it? http://www.activistpost.com/

Next for review is Before It’s News: Gold and Silver Dept. Nothing spectacular this AM but a lot of per-tinent education in the past articles. Well worth it if you have some time for self-education. http://beforeitsnews.com/stories/in/0000000000000023

GATA is worth a look. http://www.gata.org/

FOFOA is still running “Chimps, Champs and Chumps” A short and concise attitude statement. If you don’t know it already, read it. http://fofoa.blogspot.com/

The top interviews at King World News are still worthy of some time.
http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/KWN_DailyWeb.html

And, if you still have some time, you might take a gander at The Daily Reckoning to see if something there piques your interest.

Check my constantly updated SilverNews web page at http://www.surrenderworks.com/silvernews
for all these links and more. I’ll review them every AM and send you pertinent tips, if any.

Feel free to pass this on to friends.

Lots of love
