IDF Weapons Upgraded

The IDF recently announced that they are upgrading weaponry and training.

A fast and lethal maneuver shortens the duration of war while preserving our old concept of security – of moving the action to the enemy’s territory as fast as possible,” said IDF Ground Forces Commander Maj. Gen. S. Turgeman, in a recently published interview he granted to the military magazine Israel Defense. 




“The quality of command is the flagship of the Ground Forces, and we will invest every effort in order to take it...

The Cowboy Way?..................from Rico

There are many iterations of the famous "Cowboy Way"...and one of them is to put your money where your mouth is.

Bill Gross of PIMCO (the World's largest bond fund) is one of the best-connected and tuned-in men in American finance.
- He just dumped ALL his Treasurys...bringing his Government-related holdings to ZERO. This has not yet been 'announced' and I'm not certain that our feckless FTV/Financial Media will say much about it (if anything at all, it does rather contradict the "Happy Days are here Again" drumbeat they have been inundating us with).

This signals a very clear message, it's "time to get outta Dodge!"
- Anyone who continues to hold bonds or equities is going to be eating financial 'lead' in future.

Looking at the big picture, and I can't hold a mental candle to Gross, Faber, Rogers, et al, there are two asset classes that anyone serious about surviving this fiscal train wreck should consider getting their hands on something tangible like:
- Buying a house (sounds crazy today, I know, but look at this chart), and
- Buying some gold (physical, not the fakey paper stuff).

FRN's (paper Federal Reserve Notes) just aren't going to get the job done.....
- Backed by the "full faith and credit of the US Government? This Government? NO thanks!


Killing Jews Getting Tougher Every Day............from Dan Friedman


Israel gets stronger with each passing day, relying less and less on the kindness of strangers in America and Europe. After 62 years, the fate of the country has passed into Jewish hands and going forward will depend on her determination to crush her enemies without asking for, or expecting, anyone’s permission first. df

A Trophy to be proud of

A New English National Anthem................

We’re English, and therefore we’re sorry,
For the things that we did years ago;
We’re the wickedest folk on the planet,
As the following verses will show.

We’re sorry we fought at Culloden,
To the Scottish we’ve always been mean;
We killed your King Jamie at Flodden,
And we cut off the head of your Queen.

We’re sorry, good people of Wales,
For all of those ‘sheep-shagger’ gags;
And we’re sorry if ever we called you
A nation of whinging wind-bags.

We’re sorry if you were a convict
Who we sent off to sunnier climes;
We condemned you to life as an Aussie,
When you’d rather have swung for your crimes.

We’re sorry we carved out an Empire,
And we’re sorry for giving it back
To people like Robert Mugabe
Who’s no better than Stalin ... but black.

We’re sorry we dealt in the slave trade,
And we’re sorry for stamping it out.
We’re sorry we fought with the Zulus;
- there’s so much we’re sorry about.

We’re sorry, dear French, for the longbow;
And ‘twas perfectly fair to cry ‘foul’
That we wouldn’t surrender to Hitler
When you eagerly threw in the towel.

We’re sorry for Queen Boadicea
Who just didn’t know when to stop;
We’re sorry we fought Mussolini,
And we’re sorry we called him a wop.

We’re sorry for beating the Germans
In two World Wars and a World Cup;
Most of all, we’re incredibly sorry
That we cannot stop bringing it up!

Not our fault? Even so, we’re still sorry;
We’re sorry John Lennon was shot;
And we’re sorry for saying we’re sorry
When it’s perfectly plain that ... we’re not.

An Appeal from New Zealand.........

Hello all,
Normally I fundraise for Rannerdale Veterans' Hospital, but in light of recent events I thought I'd combine a bit of business with pleasure.
I have an old horn that fell apart during an Ellerslie Flower Show gig, right on stage, and I haven't had use for it since.

As a professional horn player in the Christchurch Symphony I quickly got another, but this one has been sitting around for a long time!
I've always said I'd do something to it, but now seems so much more appropriate. I've listed it on TradeMe with the intention to raise funds for the relief efforts by acting out a boyhood dream.

A long time ago I watched an episode of M*A*S*H where in order to stop MJR Burns from practicing his Horn they ran it over with a jeep; I've always wanted a Jeep ever since I saw that! And now the dream can become a reality. I'm intending to do exactly the same with mine, film it and put it on Youtube along with footage of the handing over of the winning bid to the charity of the winner's choice. Andy, if you could film this in HD I'd be most grateful!
I've been filming my relief efforts for the earthquake disaster as proof of where people's donations go and this would be treated the same way as proof of honesty. For Example: HERE and
HERE

Anyway, its for a great cause, funny as all hell and the dearest wish of a professional chap who wants a few giggles.
Death of a French Horn for Earthquake relief

I hope you can pass this around to your contacts and make this a worthwhile event.
Cheers,
Bernie Shapiro


PACIFIC OCEAN (March 1, 2011) An unarmed Trident II D5 missile launches from the Ohio-class fleet ballistic-missile submarine USS Nevada (SSBN 733) off the coast of Southern California. The test launch was part of the U.S. Navy Strategic Systems Programs demonstration and shakedown operation certification process. The successful launch certified the readiness of an SSBN crew and the operational performance of the submarine's strategic weapons system before returning to operational availability. The launch was the 135th consecutive successful test flight. (U.S. Navy photo by Seaman Benjamin Crossley)

No Silver? No Sweat!...........from Rico

[Bear in mind that 'we' turned Congress over to the Democrats (C) in 2006]

Remember what Congress did for incandescent light bulbs? Yeah, they 'outlawed' them in favor of those expensive mercury-filled curly-q things you cannot see by. This was laughingly called the "Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007."

Remember what Congress just did for food? Yeah, they 'outlawed' private home gardens and non-GMO seeds with their hilarious "Food Safety Modernization Act."

Well, now they are going to do this for our coinage!!!!!
- Once upon a time, coins were made of gold, silver and copper. No kidding, I am NOT making this up!

Since no one anymore learns of Rome's decline in terms of its debasement of the silver content of the Roman Denarius...in no small part thanks to Jimmuh Carter's implementation of the Department of Education that has since ensured that graduates of government-run schools are as dumb as possible, putting sacks of wet hammers to shame BTW...we can expect (a) no one to have heard of, much less understand, the import of the "Coin Modernization, Oversight, and Continuity Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-302)" or (b) to notice that the US Mint has not sold one silver coin so far in March 2011.
- Our Gooberment is studying coinage materials based upon brass, steel, iron, or tungsten. Yay! Huzzah! Why not just 'outlaw' silver coins? Besides, we have all these prettily-engraved FRN's (Federal Reserve Notes) you can use instead! ....in your fireplace, or in the bathroom, for example!

WFD!!!!!
- With numbnuts like this current bunch in charge, we are all freaking doomed (WFD)!!!!!
