I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit.We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -- Woodrow Wilson 1919<br /><br />Germany, when freeing itself from the private central bank imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, redeemed their value-based currency in units of labor. The result was the German Miracle that so terrified the private bankers they organized a boycott to destroy the new German economy before other nations decided to copy it. World War 2 was the result. <br /><br />More recently, Libya established a state-controlled bank issuing a value-based currency, the Gold Dinar, which was gaining in popularity across Africa. Invasion followed. Even in the United States, we have had three Presidents try to pry the nation's finances back from the grip of the private bankers, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy.<br /><br />"Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the Eternal God, I will rout you out." -- Andrew Jackson<br /><br />Of the three, only Andrew Jackson succeeded in shutting down the bank. He is also the only US President to pay off the National Debt completely. There was an attempted assassination shortly afterwards, with a confession that clearly indicated a financial motive for the attempt. Both Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy used Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution to issue government money free of interest to the private banks. Both men were assassinated and their interest-free money destroyed. In Kennedy's case, a banker, John J. McCloy, President of the Chase Manhattan Bank and President of the World Bank, was appointed to the Warren Commission that whitewashed the circumstances of the assassination. <br /><br /></span>Ali Ansarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15622121763671922700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14978697.post-80187412077310162452013-04-18T16:48:00.003-05:002013-04-18T16:53:06.152-05:00The Face of Evil<a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2013/04/economic-armageddon-is-imminent.html">http://www.activistpost.com/2013/04/economic-armageddon-is-imminent.html</a>Ali Ansarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15622121763671922700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14978697.post-31818864101659477612013-04-17T08:34:00.001-05:002013-04-17T08:56:13.129-05:00And Here It IS!<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

In fact, the current system is not fair to the savers of the world. It punishes responsibility and rewards reckless behavior.<br />
<br />
This is all tied to interest rates. Before we went off the gold standard, there was no market for speculators to speculate on interest rate changes. That market has grown into a huge beast since 1971. And this is one of the main problems with the current system.<br />
<br />
In a pure gold money system (and I'm just speaking hypothetically here, I'm not proposing this system) no interest need be charged for lending, nor earned by saving. In a pure gold money system, deflation of prices is the normal state of things as the economy grows. So if I loan you an ounce of gold for one year, when you return it to me a year later it will be worth more in terms of real goods because the economy has grown while the money supply has remained relatively stable.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, if you save an ounce of gold for 5 years, then when you go to spend it, it will buy you more than when you started saving. So saving is rewarded. No interest is needed.<br />
<br />
In the fiat system interest is a must, because the dollar is constantly losing value. But part of the problem is that interest does not keep up with inflation. And in order find a way to make interest keep up with inflation, you must put the principle of your savings at risk of loss. This is happening right now. Many savers are not only failing to keep up with inflation, but they are actually losing their principle. This is a major flaw in this system.<br />
<br />
On top of that, governments actually MANIPULATES the rate of interest lower than the market wants it. This punishes savers even more.<br />
<br />
So with Freegold, we don't have to get rid of fiat currencies for use in trade. But we the people will do our saving in gold. And since the world's economy will still be run on fiat, inflation will still rule the day, not deflation like in a pure gold money system. So the price of gold will float freely against all currencies and provide the stability of savings without the counterparty risk of stocks or bonds. And it will also act as a barometer against governments that print in order to fund their activities. It will expose the credibility of each currency in the world.<br />
<br />
So as a borrower, you will still borrow fiat at a rate of interest. And the banks will still print through fractional reserve lending. But as a saver, I will have the choice to save in either Freegold or in the system that pays me some interest, but at a risk. I will have to judge the two options and decide which benefits me the most.<br />
<br />
So no, the gold supply does not need to increase. It can, it may, or it may not. Doesn't matter. The free market will set the price of gold relative to the paper currencies in the world. And the key word is Free. With the US dollar gone as the world reserve, replaced by either regional currencies, or by a currency which benefits from a high price of gold, the price of gold will no longer need to be controlled. In fact, it can't be controlled once the dollar reserve system is gone. And that system is crumbling today as I type.<br />

Sometimes the hype is right.Dear Reader.<br />
<br />
I've got a couple of things to say today. The first are a couple of quotes excerpted from today's 'Gold and Silver Daily', Ed Steer's newsletter. The whole of which can be found <a href="http://www.caseyresearch.com/gsd/edition/get-your-gold-out-banking-system-jim-rickards">here</a><br />
<br />
1. Here's a GATA release from yesterday afternoon that bears the headline "New law lets Treasury diminish gold, silver coin production". The story says that the "current law requires the Treasury department to mint gold and silver coins "in quantities sufficient to meet public demand."... but the new law would require the department to mint gold and silver coins "in quantities and qualities that the secretary determines are sufficient to meet public demand." It's soon to be a whole new ball game out there, dear reader... so buy as many gold and silver eagles as you can, because you can bet your last nickel that the day will come [soon] when they just won't be available in "quantities sufficient to meet demand". The link to the story is <a href="http://www.gata.org/node/9385">here</a>.<br />
<br />
2. As I've been mentioning lately, the silver price [and especially the silver equities] are starting to leave their golden brethren far behind. At $60 silver, one can only imagine what some of these silver stocks are going to be bid up to. As our grand poobah [Doug Casey] is wont to say from time to time... when this bull market really takes the bit between its teeth, it will be like trying to get the entire contents of Hoover Dam through a garden hose. We're starting to get a sniff of that now. But, we ain't seen nothin' yet... so hang on tight. It will be the ride of your life before this is all over... and one for the history books.<br />
------------------<br />
<br />
And the second is to let you know how I calculate what I call the 'Single Coin Street Price' for Silver Eagles - just so you'll understand the difference between spot price and purchase price.<br />
<br />
Just know that even with the best dealer at the lowest premium it is still going to cost you (at the very least) 15% over spot and likely more, depending on your dealer. This additional cost covers three factors often overlooked when using spot price to gauge a good deal or not. These three factors are:<br />
<br />
1. Since you always have to use a credit card to purchase small amounts, there's a credit card percentage of at least 2.75 percent, often more like 3%. I use 2.75 for my calculations.<br />
<br />
2. There will always be shipping charges, often a minimum of $12.95, so it matters how much you buy. I add a per coin shipping charge of 65 cents - 1/20th of 12.95 (which is the charge for a tube weight).<br />
<br />
3. And then there's the premium, which is the dealer's markup or profit margin, which is rarely less than $3/coin. So that's what I use.<br />
<br />
So my calculation of 15% is the best possible scenario, a combination of the best possible circumstances. And it's what I or you MUST pay in order to obtain 1-50 coins. It's the basic cost of a coin.<br />
<br />
Now add five percent to this 'basic cost' for my service of having done all the work and having the coin available for immediate purchase and sealed in an airtite plastic container, and the total 'over spot' percentage is very close to 20.<br />
<br />
Soooo... I set my basic selling price for Bullion Silver Eagles at 20% over spot - with slightly lower rates according to increased quantity. It's not exact. I round up the spot price based on trend and expectation and knock down the overall total to the nearest buck or so for friendship sake.<br />
<br />
So this is how I determine my 'single coin street price' and for small quantities (a few tubes or less) it is quite fair and saves you, the purchaser, the trouble of shopping around and waiting for delivery. A coin in the hand is worth two in cyberspace. The whole point is to make you a convenient deal for a one-stop, no hassle purchase of a coin or two for your spare change. Kids are especially welcome. Larger quantities get better deals of course. Ask about co-op purchases for the absolute best wholesale prices.<br />
<br />
At the moment I have 5 coins for sale at $35 each. (Spot 30 plus 20% or $6 = $36).<br />
<br />
Also, I have a sophisticated spreadsheet for tracking profit margins daily, weekly and monthly. Just call me with your quantity, cost and purchase date, and I'll send you a weekly or monthly report on the rise in value of your holding.<br />
<br />
For example: When we first started doing this in July 2010, our purchase of a box (500) of eagles was $9,840 at spot 17.92. (Don't you wish you'd been there then? :) That investment today is conservatively worth $15,000 - a profit of $5,160. That is 53% increase in 152 days, or 21.75 weeks, or 5.1 months. 50% in 5 months? Isn't that close to 10% a month? For all the accounts I'm tracking, that average holds constant.<br />
<br />
Now in all honesty, there are potentially more lucrative investments, Junior Miners for example. And for large money, after having bought a sufficiently substantial quantity of physical, this is the way to go. There are some very good advisors available to help you with that and I'm happy to steer you towards them. But for the moment, and in the beginning, we should focus on physical, because, as mentioned above, there will be a shortage sometime soon, and the prices are skyrocketing as we speak, and there's literally no end in sight.<br />
<br />
So now, my friends. Now is the time, at any quantity, large or small, to get started or increase your holdings to your capacity. Sometimes the hype is right.<br />
<br />
w/love<br />

For it is a fight with only two possible outcomes: either control of their own lives by the people themselves, or control of the people and their lives by political and economic elitists. - Dr. Edwin Vieira<br />
<br />
<br />
The U.S. Economy: Stand by for more worse news ~ Wayne Madsen<br />
<br />
A top economic adviser to the Democratic Party, speaking on deep background, told WMR that the domino-like collapse of the economies of Iceland, Greece, Ireland, and, now, possibly Spain, is coming also to the United States.<br />
<br />
One of the triggering mechanisms will be at the end of this month when two million idled workers, now collecting unemployment, will be dropped from the rolls. At the end of December, another two million workers will join the ranks of those who have exhausted their unemployment benefits and a total of 4 million Americans will be without unemployment checks and face destitution.<br />
<br />
Four million Americans will put financial pressure on municipalities and state governments already facing bankruptcy. Unlike Iceland, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, and, to some extent, Spain, which have strong central government control, the United States is a federal republic and, as such, the collapse of the economy will be state-by-state and begin at the municipality level, according to our source who has contacts within the Obama White House and the Democratic leadership of the Congress.<br />
<br />
Municipalities, which guarantee the pensions of their retired employees through the issuance of municipal bonds, will find themselves faced with bankruptcy and the "Muni" bonds will be rated at junk status. Municipalities unable to pay out pensions will discover their pension funds can be bailed out by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) in Washington, a federal corporation set up by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.When the first municipality declares bankruptcy and seeks a bailout from the PBGC, there will be a domino effect, with others seeing it as a quick way out. Soon, the PBGC will, itself, be forced into bankruptcy. WMR has been told by our source it is doubtful that a Republican Congress will be interested in bailing out the PBGC.<br />
<br />
The wildfire of municipality bankruptcies will then spread to the states, with California and Illinois likely to be the first two states to default on their debts and declare bankruptcy.<br />
<br />
In order to raise quick cash for a financially-desperate state government, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger plans to sell 24 state buildings, including the Earl Warren Building in San Francisco, headquarters for the California Supreme Court, and then rent them back from the new owners. However, such desperate moves by states, including the selling off of their turnpike systems and state buildings — with parks maybe next on the auction block — is not enough to forestall bankruptcy. Unlike the federal government, which can print as much cash as it likes and needs, states do not have that luxury. However, given the imminent collapse of the national economy, some states may decide to print their own currency, an act that would lead to the dissolution of the present 50-state union.<br />
<br />
As far as bank accounts are concerned, our source recommended avoiding large national and regional banks that have a high percentage of toxic assets, especially in the commercial real estate area. The next major bust, after the residential real estate plunge, will be commercial real estate, where values of buildings and shopping centers have been halved. Our source sees smaller, state-based banks, as safer for account holders. Also, as more and more large shopping malls begin to close across the country, the unemployment numbers will also skyrocket.<br />
<br />
Another post:<br />
Hungary is giving its citizens an ultimatum: move your private-pension fund assets to the state or lose your state pension. They want to use the money to reduce the budget deficit and public debt. Workers who opt against returning to the state system stand to lose 70 percent of their pension claim. This is effectively a nationalization of private pension funds. I've heard rumours on the Net to the effect that Obama was thinking out loud about the same thing some time back.<br />

Knowledge is power, and with it your destiny shall be yours to decide.<br />
<br />
"...It should be obvious by the nature of our topic (money) that our conversation is focused on tomorrow, in addition to today. Were we to be truly concerned about today only, we would instead discuss whether our needs of food, clothing, and shelter had been adequately met, we would not speak of money. To speak of money is to speak of today's confidence in our ability of meeting tomorrow's needs." - Aragon III<br />
<br />
Buy physical gold to hold. In the time to come, this money in the hand will outperform any investment you have ever known. Few today accept just how high physical gold will rise. Be a part of the "physical gold advocates" and tell a story your grandchildren will grow tired from hearing! (large smile)<br />

Let’s wait and see. But…<br />
<br />
Checking the charts I noticed that on Aug 24, my birthday, silver broke loose from its $18/oz. restraint and shot straight up from 17.80 to 19.10 in two days. From that point it rarely dropped but steadily increased in value (vis-à-vis the dollar) to its present point at 22, from which it is destined to rise even further with no end in sight. This move, besides being of historical significance, represents a gain of four dollars in five weeks. $18 spot to $22 spot from 8/24 to 9/30. That is nearly a dollar a week. And the more recent climb suggests the possibility of an increase in the rate of rise, so<b> a dollar a week is far from impossible</b>, especially if it jumps to $23 within hours as James Turk is predicting. A dollar a week! Anybody got a grand to loan me?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"></div>Also, APMEX sent me this bulletin: <br />

Obviously, every dealer will have to increase their premiums on Silver American Eagle coins. This breaking news comes on the heels of silver reaching a new 30-year record high over the past week. If you already own Silver American Eagles, the value of your coins has steadily increased. The chart on the right displays the correlation between the Spot Price of Silver and the S&P Index, from January 2000 to the present. This chart clearly shows that over the last 10 years your money was better invested in Silver by a better than a 4:1 ratio."<br />
<br />
The full story is here: <a href="http://www.trustedbullion.com/blog/item/252-us-mint-announces-33-price-increase-on-silver-american-eagles"><b>US Mint Announces 33% Price Increase on Silver American Eagle Premiums! </b></a><br />
“The United States Mint has officially raised their wholesale pricing above spot on American Silver Ea-gles to all authorized dealers from $1.50 to $2.00, an increase of a whopping 33%. This news comes on the heels of a significant silver spot price rally over the last month to a new thirty year record over $22 per ounce. The impact of this news is significant and has already affected dealer pricing across the country within hours, as prices on Silver American Eagles have jumped over $0.50/oz industry wide.”<br />
<br />
Headlines from Ed Steer’s Gold and Silver Daily: <b>Welcome to the Mania</b> - "James Turk sees silver at $23 and gold at $1,335 within hours! U.S. Mint increases premiums on silver eagles by 33%. Ireland nationalizes its second largest bank. Iran's gold traders go on strike... and much more.” This one is a blockbuster! Every article jam packed <a href="http://www.caseyresearch.com/gsd/edition/welcome-mania">Read it here:</a> <br />
<br />
The title “Welcome to the Mania” refers to the third stage of a bull market: the first being suspicion and prediction, the second being special attention, the third being general mania (the cat’s out of the bag), and the fourth is a leveling at a new plateau. So the rush is on. A GREAT article. <a href="http://www.financialsense.com/contributors/jeff-clark/welcome-to-the-mania">Read it here</a>. <br />
<br />
It doesn’t mean it’s too late to buy, just that you’ll be getting increasingly less for your money the longer you wait. Do NOT expect or wait for dips. That strategy is for players who are gambling with their money. The strategy for Savers is to buy whatever you can as soon as you can and KEEP it. The sooner you sink your greenbacks into the physical possession of silver the safer they will be. <br />

<br />
I started this blog less than 2 months ago, (July 30), the purpose being to educate myself (and hopefully you) and chronicle an important time in American history and research the events that led up to it - the rise of silver (and gold, but that was a given), from semi-obscurity, known only to a few truth-tellers but for a very long time, and to learn for myself what was really going on behind the scenes of this not very popular but seminally important subject. At that time a 'monster box' (500 American Eagle Silver troy ounces) was to be had for $9.8K. Now it's nearly 11.8 and rising. From 10K to 12K in two months? You do the math! Does that explain it all?<br />
<br />
Last week James Turk said $21 silver should be the trigger price for a price explosion; and Eric Sprott bought 6 tons of gold for his Physical Trust. As you've certainly noticed, it busted $21 and is on the rise (in spite of the attempts of the big guys to keep shooting it down, they've simply run out of bullets).<br />
<br />
This week he talks about silver reaching $30 within the next few weeks... and warns precious metals investors not to trade themselves out of their positions. Instead he urges steady accumulation for the long term as a form of savings in sound money. The link to this must listen interview is <a href="http://www.kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/Broadcast/Entries/2010/9/22_James_Turk.html"><b>here</b></a>. <br />
<br />
So mission accomplished. The whole history is linked here on these pages. Silver and gold are launched as they were predicted to be. There's nowhere now to go but up, and you do not need my help buying. If you want to know the very best sources just give me a call.<br />
<br />
Other than the decline and fall of the American economy - who gets blamed, who gets caught and who gets away - there's not much more to tell. I hope you all got in on the beginning and will manifest abundance in hard times as a result. And if not, the end is nowhere in sight. It's by no means too late. Buy it now. It's destined to double triple, quadruple and even quintuple in a relatively very short time period. It's just the nature of failed corruption.<br />
<br />
Subscribe to <a href="http://www.caseyresearch.com/gsd/"><b>Ed Steer's Gold and Silver Daily</b></a> and the Casey Report, and any of the many other great commentators listed on the blog. It's all here! If you like the really heady stuff you gotta read FOFOA and learn about Austrian Economics. There's so much more, but only if you're interested. <br />
<br />
Thanks for your indulgence.<br />

<br />
From <a href="http://www.caseyresearch.com/gsd/edition/sprott-physical-gold-trust-buys-6-tonnes-gold">Ed Steer’s Daily</a>, these headlines: <br />
<i><b>James Turk says $21 silver should be the trigger price for a price explosion. </b></i> <i><b>Sprott buys 6 tons of gold.</b></i><br />
<br />
<a href="http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2010/9/16_James_Turk_-_Here_We_Go_Again.html">James Turk (KWN)- <b>“Here We Go Again”</b></a><br />
Gold is at new record highs in European trading and silver is attempting a move towards $21. In an in-terview with King World News from Spain, James Turk stated, “While gold is moving higher, I am really focused on the $21 level in silver...”<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/news-sources/?date=20100916&archive=ccnm&slug=636989_1"><b>Sprott buys 6 tons of gold.</b></a><br />
And why should you care, you might ask? Sprott Physical Trust is one of the most respected of the “new” trusts. Not only is its founder respected but the principle upon which he founded this trust is considered to be the only truly sound principle for PM trusts in general. It requires a little study, but that’s the gist of it. That’s why Sprott is worth watching. <br />
<br />
Also from a King World News (KWN) Interview… <br />
<b><a href="http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2010/9/17_Richard_Russell_-_Theres_No_Fever_Like_Gold_Fever.html">Richard Russell, September 2010</a></b> <i><b>“What we see here is one of the greatest, least loved, and least recognized primary bull markets in his-tory…. This great gold bull market is something that one sees maybe once or twice in a lifetime.” </b></i><br />
<br />
And from <a href="http://www.economicrant.com/">Roger Mason’s Monthly Rant</a>: <br />
G/S ratio dropped from 65 to 61 - heading to 30 and then 15 <br />
“The gold to silver ratio has fallen from 65 to 1 all the way to 61 to 1 in less than a month. This will fall to the traditional 15 to 1 ratio. This is why silver is four times better than gold. Buy silver, not gold. Look for possibly $6,000 gold and $400 silver….<br />
“We are going to have to sell our silver stocks because the best ones are in Mexico. You cannot invest in Central of South American countries like Peru and Chile. Mexico is bankrupt and under the control of the drug cartels. They are almost out of oil which is their biggest source of income. The peso will collapse. Tourism is dead. If drugs were legalized the cartels would disappear overnight and they could get their country back. This is why we are going to have to sell our silver stocks when the HUI to silver ratio improves to about 30 to 1. You can sell your silver stocks today if you want and buy bullion, but you'll be selling at a loss….<br />
“The Mexicans are considering full drug legalization to get their country back. Former president Vincente Fox is all for it. Current president Felipe Calderon wants to, but is afraid of the political backlash. Billionaire Ricado Pliego, who owns the media down there, is firmly behind it. Another former president Ernesto Zedillo is behind this, and says the drug laws don't work. Simply legalizing all drugs (yes, cocaine and heroin) for adults would put an end to the cartels worldwide, the gangs, the violence, the murders, and the anarchy overnight. Drug use would not increase, as everyone who wants to use drugs is already using them. They are just paying more for them….<br />
“See you in October. Buy all the silver you can. When is the best time to buy silver? WHEN YOU HAVE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET, that's when.”<br />

In order to allow kids and low budget buyers to obtain silver coins in small quantities from time to time, I will sell 1 oz. Silver coins at roughly $5.00 (0r 25%) over spot. At the moment this amounts to $25.00 per coin.<br />
<br />
This is a very good deal considering that to purchase small amounts (single coins) is both time consum-ing and expensive. Since I buy in (small) bulk, I can pass the savings and save you the work. <br />
<br />
This price comprises seller’s premium (av. $3), S&H ($1 per coin) with a $1 margin. The same coins are selling on E-bay for approx. $3.00 premium plus shipping which is often as much as $4 but sometimes a little less. <br />
<br />
For larger quantities (more than 10) give me a call. <br />
<br />
The value of these coins is in the process of increasing exponentially. <br />
<br />
On June 14, a box of 500 coins cost $9,840. <br />
On August 6, it was $10,135, <br />
On Sept. 14, $1,1130. <br />
<br />
Do you see the pattern? That’s roughly $1,300 (13%) in three months. And it’s only beginning. <br />
<br />
So in my desire to spread the wealth, I’m offering to the local community coins in small quantities at a good price (and co-op buying). Any time you have some money you’d like to save and watch grow, just let me know.<br />
<br />

This from <a href="http://truthingold.blogspot.com/2010/09/us-dollar-is-in-trouble.html">Dave in Denver</a> explains the sharp jump up this morning in G&S. <a href="http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html#ny">http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html#ny</a> (time sensitive: monday, 9/13/2010)<br />

<b>The U.S. Dollar Is In Trouble</b><br />
“Gradually the dollar is being eliminated from the foreign-trade settlement flows,” said Dariusz Kowalczyk, a Hong-Kong based senior economist at Credit Agricole CIB. “People are beginning to trade Asian currencies without intermediation via the dollar.” <br />
....<br />
In the words of one analyst: “Given the risk to the dollar and U.S. assets from their fiscal position they want to reduce their dependence on the dollar as an invoicing currency...” Here's the link to the article: <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-09-08/china-russia-push-yuan-ruble-trading-to-diminish-dominance-of-u-s-dollar.html">Dollar R.I.P.?</a><br />
.....<br />
The weak dollar may be supporting the surprising strength in the precious metals market, especially among big foreign buyers, who are vacuuming up physical gold and silver right now. In one of his daily "quickie" reports which can be accessed in the Midas report at <a href="http://www.lemetropolecafe.com/">http://www.lemetropolecafe.com/</a>, "JB" reports: "India is booming and the “wealth effect” for the world's largest gold buyer cannot be ignored." <br />
......<br />
<i>My best advice would be to start unloading your bond portfolio holdings before the dollar really starts to flush down the toilet and use the proceeds to buy a lot more physical gold and silver. I would like to point out that premiums for 1 oz. silver eagles on Ebay are back over $3/oz. This is indicative of strong retail demand and waning supply. </i><br />

<br />
I did NOT want to do this but…<br />
It’s just TOO JUICY. So here goes<br />
<br />
First, a cool cut from the grateful dead wrapped in a very juicy silver prediction.<br />
Dave from Denver says, <b>“the silver market is about to give JPMorgan a nitroglycerine enema.”</b><br />
<a href="http://truthingold.blogspot.com/2010/09/time-for-some-friday-fun.html">http://truthingold.blogspot.com/2010/09/time-for-some-friday-fun.html</a><br />
<br />
Check Kitco here! <a href="http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html#ny">http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html#ny</a><br />
Do you see? Yesterday it cracked $20 once and today, three or four times before being beaten back down by “da boyz”. They cannot keep it up. That’s why Dave is predicting <b>“Silver is getting ready to do a moonshot.”</b> With the Dead in the background, of course. Whatta guy.<br />
<br />
So! I continue to browse and this is what clinches another letter today. You gotta read this one. It is a very cleverly written article posted on Activist Post that is certainly worthy of your attention. I give you the intro by Rick Ackerman: Called <b>“Doomsdayers are not cynical enough”</b>. <br />
<i>[Like your editor, Rick’s Picks forum regular Wayne Razzi (aka “Red Will”) is a veteran floor-trader who grew up in South Jersey. When I asked him if he would like to contribute a guest commentary, I was not expecting the provocative tour de force that unfolds, step by step, below. In the essay, Will asserts nothing less that that the impending collapse of our economic system was meticulously engineered by financial and political sociopaths. Let me attest that his is not some whack-o conspiracy theory; rather, it is the closely-reasoned argument of a highly intelligent person who values truth sufficiently to have searched for it, in the form of an answer to a profoundly disturbing question, for many years. Judge for yourself whether his conclusions tally with your own thoughts as to why the American Dream is about to go bust. RA] </i><br />
It starts here. <a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2010/09/doomsdayers-are-not-cynical-enough.html#more">http://www.activistpost.com/2010/09/doomsdayers-are-not-cynical-enough.html#more</a><br />
The full article is here.<br />

<br />
There! That should be enough to light a fire under your butt. <br />
<br />
Now figure this. If Silver is - for the very brief moment - spot $20, and purchasing premium is $2.50 (approx.) and shipping is $1, we’re looking at a silver cost to you of $23.50 and RISING! So let’s say street value for the moment is $25 a coin. That's what I'll sell singles and very small quantities for. <br />
Whereas a month ago I could get a mint-sealed box of 500 coins for less that $10,000, Now it’s costing Eleven! And as you’ve noticed, the practical people are saying there’s no end in sight. Now supposing silver at $20-25 doubles, oh, say conservatively, in a year (but more likely in four to six months – is it not better to buy it now than then? Anyone got 11K to loan me for a year? Name your price. I’m serious. I need to get rich, even if you don’t. And yes, I know the best places to buy… Call now.<br />

From which I must quote one… He says (and I quote):<br />
“Lastly today is another commentary posted over at King World News that Eric slid into my in-box in the wee hours of this morning. He states that "Ben Davies, CEO of Hinde Capital put together this piece exclusively for the KWN blog which gives an outstanding synopsis of both the forty-one page slideshow presentation and his twenty-three page speech. It discusses US government suppression of the gold price and the unsustainable debt of the US and UK. It gives some staggering potential price figures for gold. The staggering prices that Davies gives are in line with what Jim Rickards was mentioning in his two interviews and blog that I posted yesterday. The Ben Davies commentary, headlined "Gold Wars - A Golden Renaissance", is a must read as well... and <a href="http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2010/9/9_Ben_Davies__Gold_Wars_-_A_Golden_Renaissance.html"><b>the link is here</b></a>.”<br />

And it's simply that there is absolutely NO GOOD NEWS AT ALL! Gold and Silver prices have begun their inevitable and long expected rise to the top. Say goodbye to $17.50 and hello to $21.00 and more. Still good to buy, cause this is only the beginning. But just take a look at <a href="http://www.activistpost.com/p/featured-videos.html"><b>Activist Post Videos</b></a> if you wanna know what's happening and how we got this way. The best news is that some 35 and rising state governments are insisting on their Constitutional rights and that is probably our only real hope. The newest video on this resurgencee of Constitutional Statehood is '<b>Don't Tread on ME</b>' to be found <a href="http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/dont-tread-on-me-rise-of-the-republic/"><b>here</b></a>. It's a VERY important new documentary on how significant people in state government are waging a potentially successful battle against the tyranny of the Fed. <br />
I've said all I have to say about this phase of our education. It took me a little more that a month to build this blog. Call me foolish, but I'm old enough to remember when times were really good and it meant something to be an American. <br />
Watch the video. Seems to me like it's our only hope. <br />

<br />
Roger Mason’s Monthly Economic Rant paints the picture in unambiguous terms. <b><a href="http://www.economicrant.com/current-article.php">http://www.economicrant.com/current-article.php</a></b><br />
<br />
I’m discovering that <a href="http://thedailybell.com"><b>The Daily Bell</b></a> is far more than an ordinary daily rag on current events. For example, read this one: <br />
<a href="http://www.thedailybell.com/1341/Bank-Run-2011.html"><b>Bank Run 2011?</b></a><br />
and this one: <br />
<a href="http://www.thedailybell.com/1342/Mises-Shakes-the-World.html"><b>Mises Shakes the World</b></a><br />
Both of the above were sent to me in their daily newsletter, a great Free-Market commentary on media presentation of current events. <br />
<br />
And what, you might ask, does “Free-Market” mean? They have it all explained in the ‘<a href="http://www.thedailybell.com/resources.asp"><b>resources</b></a>’ section. <br />
<i><b>"Free market thinking deals with the social arrangements that arise in the absence of coercion by means of violence or the threat of violence."</b> </i><a href="http://www.thedailybell.com/596/Free-Market-Thinking.html">>>></a><br />
<br />
<i><b>"The ethical touchstone of free market thinking is consent."</b> </i><br />
I like that, and, it makes sense.<br />
<br />
Alright. So more about what I'm learning here (and 'trying' to pass on).<br />
<br />
There are some influences afoot that I had not suspected and am only beginning to discover. So I’m no expert on this subject, but I believe I’ve discovered the people who are, and it's way different from what I might have imagined. <br />
<br />
Where to begin… <br />
<br />
Well, with this: <br />
<b><i>“… we think the Austrian economic movement is one of the longest-lived and most important intellectual and ideological conversations in history. And whatever misrepresents it is of similar import, especially if it represents a larger trend.”</i></b> ~ <a href="http://www.thedailybell.com/1342/Mises-Shakes-the-World.html"><b>The Daily Bell</b></a><br />
<br />
I would argue that this article, as esoteric as it may seem to a neophyte, is a key place to begin in the unraveling of the mystery of Austrian Economics and its significant role in the future of mankind in the era of the falling empire. The article refers to an earlier DB (Daily Bell) commentary on an article in WSJ (Wall Street Journal) stating that <i>“Peter J. Boettke of George Mason University is the emerging standard bearer for a revived Austrian school of economics.”</i> … etc. <br />
<br />
And the DB commentary is <b><a href="http://www.thedailybell.com/1330/WSJ-Discovers-the-Austrians-Boettke-but-not-the-Mises-Institute.html">here</a></b>. This is where the fun (and self-education in Austrian Economics) begins… <br />
The sequel is <b><a href="http://www.thedailybell.com/1336/Boetkke-Promotion-Redux.html">here</a></b>: <br />
and the latest (9-2-10) is <b><a href="http://www.thedailybell.com/1342/Mises-Shakes-the-World.html">here</a></b>:<br />
<br />
Starting with this and following the links and learning about the people behind the names is the adventure of Austrian Economics – a force that is changing the world, one person at a time. <br />
<br />
So, the places I’m focusing on now in my unending quest for knowledge are:<br />
The Daily Bell, with all its links and archives – <a href="http://thedailybell.com"><b>http://thedailybell.com</b></a><br />
<a href="http://lewrockwell.com/"><b><br />
http://lewrockwell.com/</b></a><br />
<b>Lew Rockwell</b> is the co-founder, with Murray Rothbard, of the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Austrian Economics; <br />
<br />
and <a href="http://mises.org"><b>The Ludwig von Mises Institute of Austrian Economics;</b></a> <a href="http://mises.org/"><b>http://mises.org/</b></a><br />
<br />
These may seem at first glance to be horribly obscure and possibly insignificant, but I assure you, dear reader, that they are not that, but the roots of understanding how a true “free market” economy works. And like all things good, their absence leaves only ignorance and speculation leading to misunderstanding and corruption based on short-sighted greed. <br />
<br />
Oh. And did I mention that this is fundamental economic philosophy followed and espoused by Congressman Ron Paul?<br />
<br />

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.<br />
<br />
On Youtube, a very short and concise explanation of what is happening and the argument for immediacy of action. <br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pItsaMSmcPQ"><b>The End of Silver Manipulation</b></a><br />
<br />
Discovered this one too. <br />
<a href="http://meltdown2011.com/history-of-the-meltdown-so-far/"><b>History of the Meltdown</b></a> - This whole website is a find. <br />
<br />
And a Youtube preview of a Cannes Award winner yet to be released.<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyW3M-UTIWM"><b>Inside Job </b></a><br />
<br />
And a brilliant article written a few years back: <br />
<a href="http://meltdown2011.com/2009/06/13/the-3-stages-of-the-coming-silver-shortage/"><b>Physical Silver Yes, Speculation No!</b></a> By Israel Friedman<br />

<i><b>“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.”</b></i><br />

An Interesting graph: Gold - <a href="http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2010/8/27_Gold_-_The_Big_Picture.html"><b>The Big Picture</b></a><br />
<br />
And finally for today, Jasom Hommel answers the question, <b>"How can silver prices double at any time?"</b> in his latest article: <a href="http://silverstockreport.com/2010/explode.html"><b>When Will Silver Prices Explode? (ANYTIME!)</b></a> He says: <br />
<i><b>"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."</b></i><br />
<br />
That's it for the weekend<br />

<br />
Dave in Denver at The Golden Truth has a very interesting observation: <a href="http://truthingold.blogspot.com/2010/08/gld-managing-director-jason-toussaint.html"><b>GLD Managing Director Jason Toussaint Does Not Own ANY GLD Shares...</b></a> 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. <br />
<br />
<b>The most important item today</b> 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 <a href="http://www.kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/Broadcast/Entries/2010/8/28_James_Turk.html"><b>here</b></a>.<br />
<br />
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 <b>left</b>. They’ll open up in separate tabs for easy perusing. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Between GATA, FOFOA and Bastiat, you got it all. <br />
<br />
Don’t forget to check out “Before it’s News” and “Activist Post”.<br />
<br />
That’s it for today.<br />
<br />
Lots of love to you all and may your Ramadan be full of blessings<br />

<br />
Today’s news is brief. I do hope, however that you have taken a moment to review the latest post on my Silvernews blog: <br />
<br />
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. <a href="http://www.gata.org/node/8962">http://www.gata.org/node/8962<br />
</a><br />
And this one too, you might also find educational, even though, again, the title is the least interesting part of the article. <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/story/152/755/Proposing_an_Overnight_Gold_Fund.html"><b>Proposing and Overnight Gold Fund</b>.</a><br />
<br />
And, did I mention this yesterday? It’s still very interesting. <br />
<a href="http://silverstockreport.com/2010/one-percent.html"><b>1% of 1% - (The Silver Market is tiny, tiny, tiny !)</b></a><br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Lots of love to you all, and yes, I’ll still send out any news I think you should know. <br />
<br />

<br />
Today’s news is simple and summed up by this brief article. Use all the usual sources to fill yourself in.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2010/8/25_Silver_Flying%2C_Gold_Marching_Towards_Highs.html"><b>Silver Flying, Gold Marching Towards Highs</b></a> - Very brief and worth the read.<br />
<br />
This one is again interesting from Jason Hommel<br />
<a href="http://silverstockreport.com/2010/one-percent.html"><b>1% of 1% - (The Silver Market is tiny, tiny, tiny !)</b></a><br />
and his archive is <a href="http://silverstockreport.com/#all"><b>here</b></a>.<br />
<br />
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. <br />

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. <br />
<br />
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). <br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html#ny">Kitco Link</a>. 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'. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):<br />
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.<br />

<br />
<b>Silver jumped today from 17.80 to 18.50</b>. <a href="http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html#ny">http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html#ny</a><br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <a href="http://www.caseyresearch.com/displayGsd.php">http://www.caseyresearch.com/displayGsd.php</a><br />

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

<b>OK! So here’s what Happened!</b><br />

"Well, we sure hope you, ahem, bought the dip. A $17 vertical move in minutes is an appetizer of what will happen when Bernanke says the wrong word at J-Hole (and he most likely will)."

The week is beginning and it is expected to be interesting. <br />
<br />
My choices for today’s reading (if you have the time and interest) would be:<br />
<br />

<i>"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."</i><br />
