Global Warming: The Other Side of The Coin.............by Dan Friedman

While we’re on the subject of getting at the truth...

Clicking here will take you to an impressive list of scientists who disagree with the conventional wisdom being sold to us about “globing warming.”

Bug. Windshield. Twist. Cha-cha..............from Rico

The past two days, let's call them "Black Thriday" were painful to those of us without EBT cards.
Liquidation was in the air, and not ALL of it was voluntary.

Post Benny-of-the-FED's 'gift' to us all after the FOMC farce concluded (it matters not whether the FED does the 'Twist' the "cha-cha' or 'Salsa'...the end result will not be changed or avoided), the CME raised it's margin limits (again) today after the bell (Gold margins increased 21%, Silver 16%, and Copper 18%). This stinks (Who farted? Blythe? Jamie?). Gee, COMEX options expiry is next week! What a bleeding coincidence. Mystery explained. It's all so predictable, it's getting stale. Boring.
- Do not be distracted from the "delivery" problem developing on the COMEX. They have 'unlimited' paper, but the vaults are nearly empty of the physical stuff. There will be endless lawsuits when the paper GLD and SLV fractional scams crash and default. Greece will seem a picnic, a walk in the park, in contrast. If you're not holding the physical, you're going to be S.O.L. mateys!

Patience. Patience.
Rome did not collapse in a day!
- I remind myself that spot Gold, while it closed at a horrid 1641.60 in USD was 1295.30 a year ago today. Spot Silver, while closing at an ear-popping drop to 30.30 today, was 21.21 one year ago today. So, Silver dropped 22% in 48 hours? It is STILL up about 45% on the year. "Courage lads, courage! Stiff upper lips and all that! We can hold Rourke's Drift! Fasten that chin strap." Colour-Sgt. Bourne

Some days you're the bug. Other days, the windshield.
- This too will pass, and I look upon my $100 trillion dollar Zimbabwe banknote on the wall and am reminded that the temporary rise in the US Dollar is just that. Temporary. Fiat currencies have a short half-life, and PM's (precious metals) a 5,000 year history...or 'tradition' as Benyamin calls it. Pick what you will, but be sure to choose wisely........

WoW - the Watchers Council - it's the oldest, longest running cyber comte d'guere ensembe in existence - an eclective collective of cats both cruel and benign with their ability to put steel on target (figuratively - natch) on a wide variety of topictry across American, Allied, Frenemy and Enemy concerns, memes, delights and discourse.

Every week these cats hook up each other with hot hits and big phazed cookies to peruse and then vote on their individual fancy catchers.

And now - without further adieu or a don't

THE POST-MODERN WAR

PAKISTAN SPY AGENCY "SUPPORTED KABUL EMBASSY ATTACK" - Mike Mullen

The most senior US military officer has accused Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Agency of supporting the Haqqani group in last week's attack on the US Kabul embassy.

Afghani soldiers after last weeks attack on the US Embassy in Kabul.

"The most senior US military officer has accused Pakistan's spy agency of supporting the Haqqani group in last week's attack on the US Kabul embassy.
"The Haqqani network . . . acts as a veritable arm of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Agency," Adm Mike Mullen told a Senate panel.

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

First of all let me point out that it is not the government of Pakistan that is our enemy, per se - it is Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Agency that we are in a defacto war against - just like we are in a defacto war against al Qaeda, and the Taliban. I choose to call it the First Post-Modern War . . . . . . . . . . . . . STORMBRINGER SENDS
